It appears there was a legal snafu in Hannah Fowler's original divorce filing from Sam Hunt.

On Friday, Fowler filed for divorce from the country music star ahead of the arrival of the couple's first child, citing "inappropriate marital conduct" and "adultery."

Court documents show Fowler filed an initial divorce complaint in Davidson County a little before noon on Friday, February 18. However, she filed a notice of voluntary nonsuit to withdraw it just hours later at 2:13 p.m. The case has now been closed, a court clerk confirmed to Fox News Digital.

That same afternoon, Fowler filed for divorce a second time in a different county in Tennessee. A court clerk confirmed to Fox News Digital ion Thursday that the new divorce case is still open.

The couple had not previously announced to the public that they were expecting a child. Fowler is also requesting alimony, child support and primary custody of the child.

"We've been talking about it for a while, but we've really started thinking about it seriously here these past few months, so that's on the agenda right now," the "Body Like a Back Road" singer told KISS Country 99.9 Miami's "TC & Dina" radio show.

"And I'm hoping that we'll have some good news sooner rather than later."

Hunt and Fowler have been married since 2017, but dated on and off for over a decade, according to People magazine.

The two first began dating in 2008 and Hunt named his 2014 album "Montevallo" after Fowler's hometown, the outlet reported.

Hunt was arrested in 2019 and charged with driving under the influence and violating open container law. An arrest warrant said officers found Hunt swerving between lanes and pulled him over. He later apologized, saying he made the "poor and selfish" decision to drive himself home after a friend’s show in Nashville.

Under the plea agreement, his jail sentence of 11 months and 29 days was suspended except for 48 hours, which he agreed to serve at the DUI Education Centers, an alternative sentencing facility. He also had to complete an alcohol safety course and lost his license for a year.
