No such things as filing "exceptions" in Indiana, so there is no way to answer this question.

If what you say is true, and I have no reason to believe it isn't true, then you have my sympathy, but that's about all you're going to get out of the situation. If, despite your moving the court to make an exception due to circumstances clearly beyond your control, the court nevertheless denies your motion, the only thing you have left to do is file an appeal, which would be more expensive and time-consuming than simply filing your divorce action anew.

You should visit with the closest Self Help Desk run by the Volunteer Lawyers Project here in Nebraska. If your concern is not paying the filing fee, you may qualify for an "In forma pauperis" affidavit to avoid the filing fee and cost of service.
