This is more important than it seems at first blush because in a custody case, incorrect addresses on the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act Affidavit can affect the court's jurisdiction to hear the case. If no response has been filed, you can amend the papers without the court's permission. After a response is filed, you must have the court's permision (file motion to amend) or respondent's agreement (written, filed stipulation)to amend the papers. Hope this helps.
