Earlier this month, it was revealed that Ashley Olsen's twin sister filed an emergency petition to file for divorce from Sarkozy, 50. Mary-Kate's bid was denied, however, because the couple's split was not deemed an emergency by the court.

“Currently, we are only accepting essential, emergency matters for filing,” a spokesperson for the New York courts said in a statement to Fox News in mid-May. “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. “He determined that it is not an essential matter, so they can’t file anything at this point.”
Courts began accepting new lawsuits and non-essential divorce filings on Monday, meaning Olsen's request no longer had to be deemed an emergency.
