    Exclamation Should I Start a New Petition for Divorce

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Indiana

    My husband I were married in Mexico, and he is the biological father of my child who was born before we were married. I filed the petition as divorce with children with an agreement on all issues. My divorce decree was denied and I received a card in the mail stating:

    Service must be perfected or waived. Paternity must be established. Father's minimum wage must be included on the form.

    I recently checked my case status online, yesterday, and apparently the certified mail receipt only arrived to the court yesterday. Which I take to mean that the service was not technically recorded until yesterday.

    I am not interested in establishing paternity since we were not married at the time my daughter was born. He has not seen her or communicated with her in 3 years (since we moved to the US). Let alone sent her any kind of support.

    Should I start a new divorce petition as "divorce without children with an agreement on all issues"? Do I need to contest the judge's decision? Or how should I go about rectifying this situation?

    Thank you so very much for any sort of help you can provide.

    How long was it between your daughter's birth and your marriage?
