Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

I filed for divorce in Christian county Kentucky. I received a paper in the mail that states "jurisdictional proof not filed (affidavit, deposition, or interrogatories stating 180 days of residence, 60 days separation and irretrievable breakdown of marriage. I have no clue what any of this means. What do I need to do?

These things are all statutorily required information in a "verified" petition for dissolution of marriage. You will now need to write out in an affidavit, to be entered in court and served on the other party by mail, that you've lived in Kentucky at least 180 days, lived separately from the other party for at least 60 days, and the the marriage is irretrievably broken - assuming all are true - and have this notarized.
