I am a single mom with a child. I have not heard from my child’s father in over a year. Can I 
terminate his parental rights?
Although there are some exceptions, generally the Court will terminate the rights of one parent unless there is someone (i.e. a step parent) ready to accept those parent rights through a subsequent adoption.

Construction has begun on our new Wilmington office space!
Q: My husband and I have been separated for 5 years, I haven’t heard or know about his whereabouts. How do I go about getting a divorce?
A: Delaware rules permit you to file an affidavit that an address is unknown. A notice that the petition has been filed will then be published in the newspaper. After that publication the process will proceed accordingly.

Uncontested Divorce
Q: If I file for divorce and it is uncontested will I need to go Court? 
A: No, the Delaware Family Court rules permit a divorce petitioner to request that the divorce be heard without a hearing. Basically, you will receive the divorce decree in the mail. This is for the granting of the divorce only. This does not include property division, alimony or other ancillary matters.
