    Delaware to close all Court of Common Pleas starting Monday, thru May 1, 2020, and no JP weddings in NCC.

    The Court of Common Pleas announced Friday it is canceling most criminal proceedings through the end of April due to the coronavirus.

    All jury trials will be rescheduled. Meanwhile, hearings and the like involving people in custody, as well as emergency reviews of bail, will not change dates but will take place over telephone, video conferencing or another method where appropriate.

    Treatment courts will continue at the discretion of the judge and where the treatment is determined to be clinically necessary. The court also may order certain non-jury matters to proceed as scheduled on a per-case basis.

    Limited civil proceedings will take place via telephone or video conferencing if possible.

    These restrictions are in place starting Monday and will continue until May 1.

    The virus has forced changes to the New Castle County clerk of the peace’s schedule as well. The 60 couples scheduled to be married by the clerk of the peace over the next month are asked to postpone their ceremonies, Clerk of the Peace Ken Boulden said.

    Those who wish not to change the date will be limited to two guests instead of the normal 25. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

    Mr. Boulden said he will extend the expiration date for any couple already possessing a marriage license but worried about vendors and venues canceling.

    The office also will not be accepting walk-in requests for certified copies of marriage records and is suspending the issuance of single status certifications and non-resident marriage license application affidavits for the time being. Individuals can apply online at gocertificates.com instead.

    There are no changes for the clerk of the peace in Kent and Sussex counties.
