Ex conveniently left out my addresses when filing for custody

My EX only listed her addresses as previous addresses for the children when she filed for custody. This made it look to the courts as if the children had not lived with me when they had done so for at least a year and a half prior to her filing for full custody. What can I do to correct this and has she committed any wrongdoing by not including my addresses on the paperwork?

You should file a counterclaim for child custody and list the correct addresses of where the children have lived for the past 5 years.
