More details to this question:
I filed a complaint for primary custody, a counterclaim was issued and mailed by the defendant certified! I am trying to see if he got a lawyer because no lawyer information was placed in the box for name and address of attorney or party, does someone have to legally provide their lawyers name?

If someone is represented by an attorney, the attorney information should be available somehwere. They don't have to provide complete contact information, but the best way to see if they have an attorney or not is through the first paragraph which starts something like "Defendant XYZ by and through his/her counsel (name)...." This demonstrate that they have an attorney. Also, the signature at the end can also tell you. If you are representing yourself, you might be interested in our legal document drafting and educational services to best prepare yourself for custody battles in court.
