Good morning, Trisha:   I am assuming that you had a settlement agreement and that the judge entered the divorce based on the settlement agreement?  A failure to initial one page should not void the divorce.  However, it could create a problem with enforcing the settlement, if one party states that they did not see that particular page.  The best thing to do is ask the other party to initial it and refile with the Court the fully initialed copy with the Court. If the party will not initial you can have a hearing before the Court and ask the Court to have it initialed.  Usually when a page is not initialed it is because someone just missed it.  So it is better to get it fixed now than wait until a potential problem occurs.
