Courtney Stodden is desperate for a judge to make her divorce official after waiting for months for her estranged husband Doug Hutchison to file a response.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Stodden is requesting the judge grant her a default judgment in her divorce from Hutchison. She is asking the judge to sign off on the divorce even though Doug has blown off the case and not bothered to file a response or even once show up to court.

Stodden's request has hit a roadblock — the judge ruled her proof of service for the divorce was inadequate, so if Stodden wants to pursue the default, she needs to prove she served Doug with divorce papers.

The couple announced their separation in January 2017, but Courtney did not officially file for divorce until March 2018.

Stodden cited irreconcilable differences in her petition and listed their date of separation as September 1, 2017. She did not request spousal support from Doug and asked the court to deny him the right to support.

The divorce docs revealed Stodden was pulling in $2,500 a month but her expenses totaled $4,700, leaving her a bit in the red.

Back in 2011, the then 51-year-old Doug Hutchison famously married 16-year-old Courtney Stodden in Las Vegas. She was his third wife.

The actor claimed his family disowned him and his agent quit following their marriage.
