What is 459PC?
Form 459PC, Colloquy Between Judicial Officer and Parties to an Order of Protection From Abuse by Agreement(Petitioner), is a Delaware Courts Family Court form that records a colloquy between a judicial officer and the parties to a Protection From Abuse order entered by agreement.
The title carries the label "(Petitioner)", which marks this as the petitioner-side version of the document. Delaware Courts lists it in its online forms library, where the Protection From Abuse category groups 51 forms and the Family Court holds 280 forms in all. This form is one of those 51; it is not the same document as the other Protection From Abuse forms in that category.
The title uses the words "by Agreement", so the form relates to a Protection From Abuse order reached by agreement rather than one decided after a contested hearing. The page does not set out the form's lines or the court's procedure; for how the court uses it, rely on the Family Court.
Who needs to file 459PC?
The title places this form with parties to an Order of Protection From Abuse by Agreement, and the "(Petitioner)" label indicates the petitioner's version. A judicial officer is also named in the title as the other participant in the colloquy.
If you are a party to a Protection From Abuse matter in the Delaware Family Court, confirm with the court that Form 459PC is the version that applies to you. Other forms in the Protection From Abuse category exist, so do not assume this one fits every situation.
