The other was a motion to limit my visitation with our child (custody is joint with child in physical custody of the ex. These papers have no court stamp and do not appear to have been filed with the court but they state I must reply within 10 days. It would appear I am to reply to the attorney.

Re: Required to respond?
It appears that you must respond in accordance with the rules of civil procedure and rules of local practice. Should you not respond by a filed written opposition, served on opposing counsel, the Motions may be granted and you could lose money, property, liberty and your relationship with your child. Hire competent counsel, unless you wish to assume the risk of not doing so.
