What to do if I am filing for divorce in one state but I have moved to another?
On my verified complaint I put the wrong state and county where it was notarized. It has already been stamped by the county clerk and served to the defendant. Do I need to amend it? How do I go about this process? Will I have to get the defendant to sign a new affidavit?

You can file an amendment to the complaint with the court with a proof of service and serve it by mail on the opposing party. The opposing party doesn't sign
The amendment would be as follows:
Jones v. Jones Case Number `12345
The complaint filed in the above case is amended as follows: The state and county where the complaint was notarized was ______ instead of ___________.
You sign and date at the bottom.
