His attorney continued: “(Anthony) knows of no other person or entity, not a party to this action, with physical custody of the minor child or claiming to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the minor child. Further, (Anthony) has never joined as a party or witness or in any other capacity in any other proceeding concerning the custody of or contact with the minor child in this or any other state.”
