1. If the case is open and active, notices can be made by regular mail.
2. It all depends. Indeed, recently, I had a case involving a divorced couple and a child spanning two states and three counties (one in Erie and two Georgia counties). By way of example, if a divorce happens in Nassau County, but the noncustodial parent moves to Westchester, both counties could arguably handle different issues that may arise. As a result, more information is needed about your case.
