Divorce Case
divorce attorney Missouri Aug 11, 2026
Location: St. Louis, Missouri Hello! I filed for a Dissolution of Marriage w/o children for an international marriage. I never registered that marriage with the US and I didn’t submit a certificate of marriage during filing. The reason I didn’t submit a certificate was because it wasn’t a requirement when I asked the clerk. Now the judge sent a correspondence letter stating, “The court has reviewed your file and will be unable to grant a dissolution of marriage based upon the documents you filed because the petition you filed fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. If you have used the forms from the court website, then you may have left certain questions blank or answered them incorrectly.” Is this because I didn’t submit the certificate of marriage or are my forms truly incomplete/wrong? Should I get an attorney or ask for help with the family self advocacy center? Thank you!
