Hmmm. Bulldog, I became curious what the specific language says on the paperwork, so I went and looked it up - not just relying on the blurb that Sig put up here on our forum.
On the application form that is published on the state site..
http://courts.delaware.gov/forms/download.aspx?ID=33278 it says the following:
1. Arrange with a newspaper of general circulation in your County to have your application
published once, at least (10) days before the filing of your application with the Court.
Obtain an affidavit from the newspaper company stating that this requirement has been
met, and attach it to your application. PLEASE NOTE: Newspaper selection must have a
circulation of at least 35% of the population in your zip code. Be sure to use your whole
name - no initials - and your home address.
I don't see where it says that the ad must run for 10 days, but that it must run at least 10 days before filing your application. Can you tell us if you have the affidavit in hand? I'd like to make sure that things are cleared up both with the state or those on our board that might run into this issue if things are changing or the interpretation is different now when filing.
