Custody case I tried mailing response but person did not put full/correct address on court papers but paper were filed in court.
A person has to be accurate with their address with the court and failing to do so may be a false statement or it may be an inadvertent mistake depending on the inaccuracy. Also, people often are not aware that they have an obligation to update their address if they relocate.
my question is do we go for custody or does it start with visitation
It depends on what you mean by lost custody. If your parental rights were terminated then you have to go through the Department of Human Services to request reinstatement.

You can contest it as not being in the best interests of the children, if that is the case. He also would have to file with the court to modify the current plan if you... Read more »
