When a divorce is granted by a Family Court in Delaware, the divorce records are maintained by each Delaware county clerk of court. They are court records, not vital records.
Generally, there are three types of divorce records in Delaware: divorce decrees, divorce certificates, and divorce case records.
A Delaware divorce certificate is a document issued to divorced parties as evidence of their divorce. It contains the least amount of information of the three types of divorce records and provides only the following:
A Delaware divorce decree is the document that memorializes and certifies the dissolution of a marriage in a Delaware Family Court. It contains more information than the divorce decree, including the following:
A Delaware divorce record is the entire file of the divorce court proceedings of the Family Court. It contains all of the information contained in the divorce certificate and divorce decree, as well as all motions, orders, summons, transcripts, financial statements, evidence introduced, reports, assessments, possibly information regarding family members, and more. The divorce record is necessary if either party chooses to appeal a ruling in the divorce proceeding.
