Courts with online civil case information

The Delaware Courts civil case search service provides online access to civil case information for the Superior Court, Court of Common Pleas, and Justice of the Peace Court. These courts offer access to civil case information through CourtConnect 24 hours a day.

The review Delaware Courts civil case search information page explains that users can search civil dockets by person name, business name, or case type, search judgments, and display case information or activities.

Family Court handles case information differently. The Family Court website does not contain personal case information, and a Family Court file cannot be accessed electronically. Users with Family Court case questions should contact Family Court in the county tied to the case.

Other Delaware court record tools

Court calendars can help users confirm scheduled proceedings. Delaware Courts provides calendar listings by court, by county, and across all courts.

Use view Delaware court calendars to check calendars for courts and counties listed by the Delaware Judiciary.

Opinions and orders are separate from docket search results. Delaware Courts provides a searchable opinions and orders page with court, date, file number, type, judicial officer, and description fields.

Use search Delaware opinions and orders when you need published orders or decisions rather than basic docket activity.

Electronic filing and court systems

Electronic filing depends on the court. Delaware eFlex is used in the Justice of the Peace Court. File & Serve Delaware is used in the Court of Common Pleas. File & ServeXpress is used in the Supreme Court, Court of Chancery, and Superior Court.

Family Court does not offer eFiling at this time. For Court of Chancery matters, civil actions filed with the court are available online at File and ServeXpress, and self-represented users are directed to contact the Register in Chancery for guidance on alternate filing methods.

Filing is separate from searching. A case search helps locate public case information, while eFiling systems are used to submit court filings where allowed or required.

Delaware court contacts for case search help

Use the relevant court contact when online results are missing, unclear, or not available for the type of case you need.
