Delaware court records are filed with the Prothonotary. The Superior Court / Court of Chancery / Court of Common Pleas handles trial-level cases. Delaware offers a statewide court search through Delaware Courts, which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: Delaware state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use Delaware Courts for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the Prothonotary in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: Delaware Courts covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in Delaware (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
