   Protecting FAMILIES  

  
 

The Family Division brings together four existing Department of Justice units: Child Support, Child Protection, Domestic Violence and Child Abuse, and Juvenile Delinquency and Truancy. Staff are being cross-trained to provide a full range of legal services to victims, families, and juvenile delinquents.

 

Domestic Violence
According to the F.B.I., one out of every two women in America will be in an abusive relationship during her lifetime. You will find information about identifying and combating domestic violence (en espanol) in our communities.  
Violence Against Children
Children are, unfortunately, targets of criminals throughout Delaware. Information for parents, children of all ages, and caring adults on ways to protect children in Delaware.
Violence Against The Elderly

Victims Guide & The Judicial System
Many victims of crime suffer from distress and confusion after victimization. The Delaware Victim's Bill of Rights and the Delaware Department of Justice, Courts, and other state agencies provide protections and help victims work through the criminal justice system.
