However, a source told People magazine Thursday the move was merely a technical one, since the couple are seeking to have their case heard by a private judge.
"The goal is to have a private judge because both sides want this to be amicable and private," the source said.
Simpson filed for divorce Dec. 16 claiming "irreconcilable differences."
