The couple, known as Mr. and Ms. Williams’ in court proceedings, were married 21 years but separated last year and stlll negotiating their finances heading toward an official split when the premature clerical error was made.

Court staff acknowledged to Mrs. Williams that the mistake happens fairly frequently and should have been fixed but that since her husband formally took issue with it, the judge decided to issue a ruling.

The estranged wife said she could try to fight it but that ultimately, she got what she wanted, anyway.
