    Second time’s the charm.

    Jax Taylor resubmitted his divorce petition Thursday in Los Angeles under the representation of attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, according to court documents obtained Friday by Page Six.

    The “Valley” star, 45, made some mistakes in his previous filing while representing himself.

    In Taylor’s initial paperwork, which he submitted late last month, he claimed he and his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, were never legally married and gave her full custody of their only child, 3-year-old son Cruz.

    Jax Taylor says ‘best friend’ Tom Sandoval has reached out to him ‘more than anybody’ amid Brittany Cartwright divorce

    “While Jax made errors in filling out forms that are usually done by trained legal professionals, those errors will be amended without delay,” the “Vanderpump Rules” alum’s rep told us in a statement Wednesday.

    The rep did not specify which part of Taylor’s filing was incorrect but noted that custody was not an issue in the former couple’s divorce.

    “Jax and Brittany have already long resolved all matters related to custody of Cruz and will continue to work together privately for the best interest of their son, which remains their overriding concern,” the rep added.

    After Taylor’s blunders made headlines, Cartwright, 35, savagely reacted in an Instagram comment.

    Upon returning home from the facility — where he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder , and learned he’s a narcissist — the former model was handed divorce papers .

    A few days later, Cartwright addressed the divorce for the first time on her and Taylor’s joint podcast, “When Reality Hits.”

    “It’s taken me many, many years to get to this point where I gained enough courage and strength to do what’s best for me, get myself out of a toxic relationship and ultimately see my worth,” the brunette beauty explained to their listeners.

    Though Cartwright was the one who first filed to end the pair’s five-year marriage , a source previously told Page Six that Taylor was “100 percent on board” with the decision .

    “He just wants to have an amicable co-parent relationship,” our source insisted.

    Cartwright announced the duo’s separation on their podcast in February.

    She told her co-stars in the Season 1 finale of “The Valley,” which aired in June, that Taylor — who admittedly cheated on her when they were dating — would become “mean as a f–king snake” while fighting off frequent hangovers.
