Incorrect SSN on Divorce Complaint/Summons

I recently filed my divorce complaint with the county clerk’s office. I served my spouse and I am a couple of weeks into the 30 day waiting period.

I now realize that my spouse’s SSN is incorrect on the complaint/summons. What are the possible ramifications of this?

  1. Will my case be rejected in court?
  2. Can my spouse use this to delay the proceedings?
  3. Could this invalidate the divorce?

Thanks!

To nip this in the bud, so to speak, I would go ahead and file and serve an amended complaint using the correct SSN.
