Hello,

There is a small mistake on my marriage certificate- my middle name is missing a letter. The Petition has now arrived with the same mistake, do I ignore it? How might this affect me in later years or is it no big deal?
Basically, I don''t want to ignore it and when I''m ready to marry again, it presents problems.
Any ideas / thoughts?

Its not as uncommon as you may think, the easiest way to deal with it is to add a covering letter noting the spelling mistake on the marriage cert and subsequent Petition, then its for the court to decide what if anything needs to be done.
