Mary-Kate Olsen previously signed a petition to divorce Olivier Sarkozy in April.
New York City Judge Michael Katz said the matter wasn’t "essential" in nature and thus, the estranged pair had to follow the proper channels in settling their marital dispute.
"Currently, we are only accepting essential, emergency matters for filing," a spokesperson for the New York courts said in a statement to Fox News."The original filing was rejected by the New York County clerk because they did not follow the essential matter procedure.
"They refiled under the essential matter procedure and the matter was referred to the ex-parte judge, a New York State Supreme Court judge," the note continued.Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy originally tied the knot in 2015.
