A: I could guess, but without looking at the file I have no idea what form you are missing. You will unfortunately need to consult with a local family law attorney about the status of your case. Perhaps you can just file the correct form and get a new date scheduled.

I can't speak for attorneys in your area, but where I practice there are some attorneys who handle 'simple' divorces for approximately $600.00 (including court costs).
