Hi, I need some advice. I mistakenly put my wifes old name on the complaint that I have already filed. She partialy took my name after we married, she changed her drivers license and SS card (three weeks before we seperated), but she continued to use her old nearly everywhere, so I usually thought of her with her old name. When I filled out my complaint I accidently put her old name. On the summons I put her married name. This is already filed, and I have got a court date next week. how big of a problem is this? How can I fix it? Thanks for any help!
