No, the fact that your divorce papers state the wrong month should not affect anything. The important things about a divorce settlement or a divorce decree from the court are: they clearly identify the two soon-to-be ex-spouses; they set forth the parties' agreement as to distribution of assets, child custody, spousal support, and child support properly, or the court's order correctly; the information in regards to assets, income, support, etc. is also correct. Assuming the above is all true, then the wrong month being indicated for your marriage should not affect the validity, the enforceability, or the terms of the divorce, fortunately, since that does not alter any of the key or operative terms of the papers.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
