Is This Kit Right for You?
Not every divorce in Delaware can be done DIY. Check below to see if you qualify for an uncontested divorce.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ You and your spouse agree the marriage is irretrievably broken.
- ✓ You have been (or will be) separated for 6 months before the final decree.
- ✓ One of you has lived in Delaware for at least 6 months.
- ✓ You want to avoid court by filing a Motion to Proceed Without a Hearing.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ There is a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order in place.
- ✕ You disagree on Ancillary Matters (property division, alimony).
- ✕ You have not yet separated and do not plan to.
- ✕ There is a dispute over child custody that requires a separate hearing.
Why Choose a DIY Kit?
Delaware's Family Court has strict rules about separation and "ancillary matters." Generic forms often get rejected because they don't include the specific Stipulation to Incorporate or the proper Affidavit of Non-Military Service.

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is an uncontested divorce in Delaware?”
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree the marriage is over (usually citing "Incompatibility") and have resolved all "Ancillary Matters" (property, debts, support) through a written Stipulation to Incorporate.
“What is the 6-month separation rule?”
Delaware requires you to be "separated" for 6 months before the divorce decree can be granted. You can file before the 6 months are up, but the court will not sign the final order until the time has passed. Separation can often occur in the same house if strict rules are followed.
“Can I skip the court hearing?”
Yes. If the case is uncontested and all paperwork is correct, you can file a Motion to Proceed Without a Hearing. Our kit includes this form and instructions on when to file it (usually after the answer deadline has passed).
“Are parenting classes required?”
Yes. If you have children under 18, Delaware Family Court requires both parents to complete a certified Parenting Education Class and file the certificate of completion.
