Can a legal document be dismissed when the name on the document is wrong?

More details to this question:
I have a dcs case, I went to court about 2 months ago and they gave me a legal document with the wrong name on it. I signed it without realizing it afterwards that the name on the document was wrong. I brought it to the sheriffs attention that the name on it was wrong but they didn’t do anything about it. Shouldn’t that document and the whole case be dismissed?

No. Depending on the type of error in the paperwork and which paperwork it was, there might be an appropriate Motion to Correct, but especially in a DCS case involving a child, a paperwork problem is not going to end the case.
