Protection From Abuse orders in Delaware

• Most important first: If you need an emergency order, go to Family Court during business hours or email your packet early in the day and ask for an ex parte hearing. After 3:30 p.m., emergency requests are heard the next business morning. (courts.delaware.gov)
• Where to file: In person 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. at Family Court, or by email to FC_PFA@delaware.gov with required forms: Petition (Form #450) and Information Sheet (Form #240). For an emergency order, include Affidavit forms (#656 and #654). (courts.delaware.gov, courts.delaware.gov)
• What a PFA can do: Order no abuse and no contact, give you exclusive use of home/vehicle, temporary custody/visitation, support, payment of expenses, firearm surrender, return of key documents, and protection for pets. Final protective provisions can last up to 2 years (longer if aggravating circumstances). (courts.delaware.gov)
• How service works: Family Court arranges service on the respondent; you don’t have to do it yourself. (courts.delaware.gov)
• Hearing timeline: Temporary ex parte orders last up to 15 days; a case review and then a trial date follow (often via Zoom). (courts.delaware.gov)
• County Family Court phones: New Castle 302-255-0300; Kent 302-672-1000; Sussex 302-855-7400. For in‑court DV advocacy: 302-255-0420 (NCC), 302-672-1075 (Kent), 302-856-5843 (Sussex). (courts.delaware.gov)

Table 2. PFA process and timing

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you can’t safely file today, call the DV hotline for safety planning and help completing forms, or ask a court‑based advocate to assist you by phone. If English is not your first language or you need ASL/CART, the Delaware Courts provide interpreters at no cost; request as early as possible. (courts.delaware.gov)

Shelter, housing, and staying hidden

• Fastest route to shelter: Use the DV hotlines for your county or Centralized Intake 1-833-346-3233. Hotlines are 24/7; Coordinated Entry is open Mon–Fri and can connect you to emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing. (dvcc.delaware.gov, dhss.delaware.gov)
• Where services come from: In New Castle County, CHILD, Inc. operates DV shelters; in Kent and Sussex, People’s Place SAFE operates DV shelters and transitional housing. (childinc.com, peoplesplace2.com)
• Keep your address confidential: Delaware’s Address Confidentiality Program provides a substitute address and mail forwarding for survivors of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, and kidnapping. Ask the Delaware DOJ Victim Service Unit at 1-800-870-1790 or email the ACP contact listed on DOJ’s site. (delcode.delaware.gov, attorneygeneral.delaware.gov)
• Know your housing rights under VAWA: Survivors cannot be denied, evicted, or lose assistance in HUD‑assisted housing because of abuse; you can request an emergency transfer or lease bifurcation. You can self‑certify using HUD Form 5382 and must receive HUD’s VAWA notice (Form 5380). (hud.gov)

Table 3. Housing navigation for survivors

What to do if this doesn’t work: If DV shelters are full, ask the hotline about hotel placement, transitional housing, or rapid rehousing. If a HUD‑assisted landlord threatens eviction because of abuse, cite your VAWA rights and contact legal aid immediately. (hud.gov)

Money and benefits to stabilize your household

Delaware Victims’ Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP)

• What it can pay for: Medical/dental care, counseling, prescription meds, wage loss, funeral/burial, crime‑scene cleanup, changing locks, temporary housing, moving/relocation, and other crime‑related costs not covered elsewhere. Maximum award is $25,000. (attorneygeneral.delaware.gov)
• Deadlines and reporting: Report to law enforcement within 72 hours and file your claim within 1 year of the crime; cooperate with law enforcement and VCAP staff. Phone 302-255-1770. (attorneygeneral.delaware.gov)
• How to apply: Call VCAP or download the application on the DOJ site; you’ll need police report info and proof of expenses. If you’re under 18, a parent/guardian applies for you. (attorneygeneral.delaware.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you can’t meet the 72‑hour or 1‑year rule, call VCAP anyway—explain any safety barriers and ask about exceptions or documentation that may help. For urgent rent or utilities, ask your DV advocate about local flexible funds while your VCAP claim is pending. (attorneygeneral.delaware.gov)

SNAP food benefits (Delaware Food Supplement Program)

• What to expect: For October 2024–September 2025 (FY2025), the SNAP maximum for a household of four is $975\ast \ast monthly;minimumbenefitis\ast \ast$23. Delaware uses 200% FPL gross income screening for most households. (fns.usda.gov, dhss.delaware.gov)
• How to apply fast: Apply online at Delaware ASSIST. If you have very low income or emergency needs, you may qualify for expedited service; benefits must be available within 7 days if you qualify. EBT cards mail in 3–14 days; over‑the‑counter cards can be issued in immediate‑need situations. (assist.dhss.delaware.gov, regulations.delaware.gov)

Table 4. SNAP FY2025 maximum monthly benefits (48 states/DC)

Delaware’s SNAP income and benefit chart for FY2025 (including 200% FPL gross limit) is posted by DSS and mirrors USDA amounts. Apply or upload documents through ASSIST. (dhss.delaware.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If online is unsafe, file by phone or in person at a DSS office. Ask about “good cause” for missing an interview if safety interfered, and request expedited processing if you have little or no income. (dhss.delaware.gov)

TANF cash assistance (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)

• Payment standards FFY2025: For a family of three, the monthly TANF payment standard is $338\ast \ast ;forafamilyoftwo\ast \ast$270; for a family of four $407. The TANF chart also lists the gross and net income limits used by DSS. (dhss.delaware.gov)
• Domestic violence waivers: Delaware’s TANF program implements the Family Violence Option; work or child support cooperation rules can be waived for safety reasons on a case‑by‑case basis—tell your worker. (dhss.delaware.gov, regulations.delaware.gov)
• Apply: Use Delaware ASSIST; an interview is required. (assist.dhss.delaware.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If child support cooperation would put you at risk, ask for a “good cause” waiver and provide any documentation you have (e.g., PFA, police report, letter from a DV advocate). Regulations allow good‑cause exceptions to protect survivors. (regulations.delaware.gov)

Child care help: Purchase of Care (POC)

• Income limits and copays FY2025: Delaware expanded access—initial eligibility up to 185% FPL (with a phase‑out up to 200% FPL at redetermination), and copays are capped at 7% of income with copays waived at or below 150% FPL. A family of three can qualify at gross monthly income up to $4,304 at application. (dhss.delaware.gov, news.delaware.gov)
• Processing: DSS processes child care applications within 2 business days after the interview and signature. (regulations.delaware.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you need care before approval, ask your DV advocate about emergency child care support or a provider willing to hold a slot; confirm with DSS when your case will be authorized. (dhss.delaware.gov)

WIC nutrition for you and your kids under 5

• 2025–2026 income limits: For a household of two, monthly limit $3,261\ast \ast ;three\ast \ast$4,109; four $4,957. WIC is for pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding parents, infants, and children under five. Delaware’s WIC lines: 302-741-2900 or 1-800-222-2189; clinic numbers are posted by county. (fns-prod.azureedge.us, fns.usda.gov, delaware.wicresources.org)
• How to apply: Call a clinic for an appointment; bring ID, proof of Delaware address, and income documentation. (fns.usda.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If getting to a clinic is unsafe, ask for the nearest location with Spanish services and for a first‑morning appointment. (delaware.wicresources.org)

---

Work, school, and income protections

• Job protections and accommodations: Delaware law makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against you for being a victim of domestic violence, sexual offense, or stalking, and requires reasonable accommodations (like schedule changes or using accrued leave), unless it causes undue hardship. If needed, file a charge with the Delaware Department of Labor. (delcode.delaware.gov, labor.delaware.gov)
• Unemployment if you left work due to abuse: Delaware allows unemployment benefits when leaving or being discharged due to domestic violence, including when you relocate for safety. Documentation may include a police/court record or a letter from a shelter worker, attorney, clergy, or health professional. (delcode.delaware.gov)
• Courts and language access: Free court interpreters and ADA accommodations are available; request as early as possible (ideally 14 days before your hearing). (courts.delaware.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If your employer won’t accommodate safety needs, save proof of your request and talk to legal aid. If you’re denied unemployment, appeal quickly and attach your DV documentation. (delcode.delaware.gov)
