NOTICE OF ADDRESS CHANGESAll parties to a particular case, whether you are the defendant or complainant, must notify the court of any change, correction or addition to (for example, an apartment number) your current address. All notices, sent the courts are sent to the address of record. If your address is not correct or completely you may not be notified of your court date which could result in a bechn warrant being issued (if you are the defendant) or dismissal of your case (if you are the complainant). DO NOT MERELY RELY ON HAVING YOUR MAIL FORWARDED.

When you need to correct or change your address with the court, it MUST BE DONE IN WRITING. Change of Address forms are available at the court house.More on this topic in future posts
