What is the deadline in Delaware?

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Delaware has no dedicated ICE detention facilities. Detained women from Delaware are typically held at facilities in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. Claims must be filed in the jurisdiction where the abuse occurred.
