Unless the action was dismissed by the court for failing to prosecute the action[ ie serve the opposing party], then you can revive the filed action. If dismissed, then you must file a new case.

It is possible that you can continue. Check with the court clerk and see if the case was dismissed. If it was not dismissed serve your ex.

As long as the Court has not dismissed your case, you can continue using the same Petition. If there are changes in what you want to request, or wish to update the date of separation, you can file an Amended Petition before you serve the other spouse.

You should contact the court to see if the case is still open. If it is you do not have to start all over again.
