Re: child custody and visitation
If you are trying to "modify" that means there are already court orders that he has been served with. If he has already been served in the case, you don't have to personally serve, you can mail serve at whatever address he has listed as his last address in the court papers. The judge can, however, decide that if he/she is not satisfied actual notice has been given by the mailing to make that you need to go through additional effort to establish a valid address for service.
If you live in AZ and he and the kids are in El Cajon and you haven't verified an address, I assume you haven't had much time with the kids in a while. What are you trying to accomplish in your modification?

Don't you have your kids address? This is a serious matter and should be brought before the court. Contact me directly.
