Yes but if the papers are four years old the Judge may question as to why?

It sounds as if you can take the papers to the Courthouse and file them with the Clerk.

Yes, then you should proceed with the Court to finalize your dissolution. You will probably need to meet with an attorney to insure that you have all the proper forms and documents.
