Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Amended Complaint

I recently put in my complaint for my divorce. I noticed as i was looking at it the other day that i had put some wrong information in the complaint. Im doing the divorce Pro Se and need to amend the complaint. I was wondering if there is a specific form needed to fill out along with the amended complaint or if filing another complaint labeled amended complaint would be fine.

Re: Amended Complaint

Yes, filing the amended complaint should do it, but you will need to have the defendant served just as with the original and whatever acceptance of service/waiver notices which may have went along with it. You should be able to ask one of the clerks of the civil division of that particular circuit court whether anything else needs to accompany your amended complaint.
