I have the eForm uncontested divorce form signed and notarized, but the county clerk said I needed to petition the court before they would accept it.
I understand your situation. Have you already filed the uncontested form with the court?
The clerk would not accept the form. They said I needed to petition the court to do so.
Which specific county are you located in?
Canadian County, Oklahoma.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured, they’ll be able to help with your petition to the court.
No.
