Q: Relief not granted at this time. One child is born before marriage, WOS is defective (third amended),
what does it mean when a judge deny an uncontested divorce for this reason. Relief not granted at this time. One child is born before marriage, WOS is defective (third amended), PO expired
in 2013 (this list is not all encompassing)
A: You have to amend your petition for divorce to include a request for establishment of paternity and request for dna testing on the child that was born before marriage (assuming there are no other court orders affecting that child, which is why the judge made this ruling). The dna testing requirement and request to establish paternity have to be done through proper motions. Simple divorce forms you find online won’t have these. Hire an attorney to make sure this gets done correctly otherwise you will go in circles.
