Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

A vindictive ex-boyfriend just filed a false claim in small claims court using the address of a property he rents in another town, rather than use the address of his actual full-time residence because if he used his actual residence he'd be forced to file in our local court where everyone knows the two of us... and his history speaks for itself. Is there any penalty for using a false address when filing? Since his permanent residence in my town could be classified as a "camp", I believe he's been using the former address on paper as a way to avoid reporting his rental income on his taxes. Should I call the court and report his correct address and have the case moved right now... or simply wait and bring proof of his actual residence (such as our town's 2010 Final Assessment Roll and his recent Zoning Board Appeal) to court... along with the documentation required to prove his allegations are false? Many thanks for your assistance from a woman who will never date again!

I would contact the Court with the new information and see what they say.
