Delaware Joint Petition to Modify or Amend Divorce Decree — Termination of Child Support: This type of petition can be filed when a minor child has voluntarily left home, is living independently, and is no longer financially dependent on either parent. It seeks to terminate the obligation of child support, as the child is self-sufficient. 2.
