You don't file a new divorce proceeding if one is already pending. When your wife filed, she should have had you served with the summons, petition, and relevant accompanying paperwork. Your requests are made by filling out the response to the petition, having it served, and filing it in the divorce action your wife filed - not by filing a separate divorce action.
