Pardons and Expungements
Pardons
A pardon completely eliminates all consequences of a conviction. A pardon does not remove the record of conviction, but it does dismiss any further punishment for the conviction and restore the convicted person’s civil rights. A person who was convicted of a crime as an adult must have a pardon in order to apply for an expungement. However, being granted a pardon does not guarantee that the individual will be granted an expungement.
Expungements
An expungement completely eliminates the history of the charges from an individual’s record. Expungements are typically granted in the cases that an individual is acquitted of a charge, the prosecutor/ plaintiff formally abandons the case, or the charge is otherwise dismissed. Individuals who were convicted of a crime as an adult and have already served their sentence, can apply for an expungement after a pardon has been granted.

Become a Guardian
Important
Guardians are granted a Custody Order and have the same legal authority as a parent would, but the Court can limit the powers granted to a guardian.
Please read the Guardianship Instruction Packet for complete information and instructions on obtaining legal guardianship.
Any person over the age of 18 can be the legal guardian to a child, but if the person is not a relative of the child, Division of Family Services must assess the placement. Relatives include:
- Immediate family members
- Half-siblings
- Grandparents
- Aunts / Uncles
- Great-aunts / Great-uncles
- First cousins
Guardians are responsible for providing a healthy and safe living environment, education, and all necessary medical treatment for the child. Guardians are responsible for the following decisions:
- Education
- Travel
- Medical treatment
- Right to marry
- Right to enlist in the military
- Representation in legal matters
- Welfare and upbringing
- Where the child will live
The parent’s parental rights are not terminated when a non-parent is granted guardianship, so the parent may have to continue to provide financial support for the child. The Court will also determine:
- How much contact the parent(s) will have with the child
- How much information about the child the guardian should share with the parent(s)
- A visitation schedule, if appropriate
When petitioning for guardianship, the petitioner must demonstrate one of the following things to the court:
- The parent voluntarily consents to the guardianship. If the parent voluntarily consents, he/she must complete an Affidavit of Consent
- The child is vulnerable, neglected, or abused in the parent’s care and it is in the best interest of the child that the petitioner be appointed legal guardian
Please Note
Only a non-parent can file for guardianship. Parents who want to provide legal care and protection for their child should file for custody.
Guardianship is the possession by a non-parent of the powers, rights, and duties which are necessary to protect, manage, and care for a child.
Become a Permanent Guardian
Please read the Permanent Guardianship Instruction Packet for complete information and instructions on obtaining permanent legal guardianship.
Only a blood relative or foster parent may serve as a permanent guardian.
- Permanent guardianship allows a caretaker and child to develop a permanent relationship and a create a family without having to terminate the parental rights of the child’s parent(s).
Permanent guardians are responsible for providing a healthy and safe living environment, education, and all necessary medical treatment for the child. Guardians are responsible for the following decisions:
- Education
- Travel
- Medical treatment
- Right to marry
- Right to enlist in the military
- Representation in legal matters
- Welfare and upbringing
- Where the child will live
The parent’s parental rights are not terminated when a non-parent is granted permanent guardianship, so the parent may have to continue to provide financial support for the child. The Court will also determine:
- How much contact the parent(s) will have with the child
- How much information about the child the guardian should share with the parent(s)
- A visitation schedule, if appropriate
Once a permanent guardianship is granted, a parent may not petition the Court to change or terminate the permanent guardianship.
Get Child Support
According to Delaware law, both parents have a duty to support their child until the child is 18 years old, or, if the child is still in high school, until the child graduates or turns 19 years old, whichever comes first.
Here are child support forms and explanations.
- If you are unsure of which forms you need to submit, review the Frequently Asked Questions About Child Support.

Legal Care of a Child
The Delaware Family Court provides this chart to help easily distinguish different types of legal care and who can apply for them.
Obtain Custody of a Child
Please Note
Under Delaware law, both parents are joint natural custodians of their child. When parents are separated, one or both parents can petition the Court for custody of the child.
Whether parents share joint custody of the child or one parent has sole custody of the child, each parent has a right to request and receive from the other parent all materials and information concerning the child’s:
- Medical records and treatment
- Progress in school
- School conferences
- Other events and activities the child participates in
Both parents also have the right to contact the child by phone or mail. The Court may restrict these rights if they would present physical or mental danger to the child.
- Court orders will contain a visitation schedule with the non-custodial parent
Tip / Reminder
Please read the Child Custody Instruction Packet for complete information and instructions on obtaining custody.

Divorce/ Annulment
Difference Between Divorce and Annulment
A divorce legally ends a marriage. An annulment is the legal declaration that the marriage never existed.
Under § 1506 of Title 13 of Delaware Code, parties of a marriage entered into under any of the following circumstances can seek an annulment:
- A person lacked capacity to consent to the marriage at the time the marriage was solemnized, either because of mental incapacity or infirmity, or because of the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other incapacitating substances. Either spouse in the marriage or the legal representative of the aggrieved spouse has 90 after obtaining knowledge of this incapacitated condition to seek an annulment.
- A person lacked the physical capacity to consummate the marriage by sexual intercourse and the other party did not, at the time the marriage was solemnized, know of the incapacity. No later than 1 year after obtaining knowledge of this condition, either spouse can petition for an annulment.
- A person was less than legal age, if the marriage was not confirmed by such party after reaching legal age. No later than 1 year after the date of the marriage, the under-aged spouse or his/her parents may petition for an annulment.
- One person entered into the marriage in reliance upon a fraudulent act or representation of the other party, which fraudulent act or representation goes to the essence of the marriage. Either spouse in the marriage or the legal representative of the aggrieved spouse has 90 after obtaining knowledge of this act to seek an annulment.
- One or both parties entered into the marriage due to threat exercised by the other party or a third party, whether or not such other party knew of such threat. Either party to the marriage or legal representative of the aggrieved party has 90 after obtaining knowledge of this threat to seek an annulment.
- One or both parties entered into the marriage as a joke or dare. Either party to the marriage or legal representative of the aggrieved party has 90 after obtaining knowledge of this condition to seek an annulment.
- Marriage is prohibited, void or voidable between a person and their ancestor, descendant, siblings, half-siblings, uncle/aunt, niece/nephew or first cousin.
Read § 101 of Title 13 for more information regarding prohibited marriage.
