Rule 32.1 Child support information sheet.

This rule, as adopted effective July 1, 1998, shall apply to all filings made on or after July 1, 1998.

A "domestic relations/child support information sheet" (see the form attached as an appendix to this rule), shall accompany the filing of each complaint, petition, answer, or motion to intervene in a divorce action, an action seeking to establish or to modify child support, or an action to determine paternity. Each party, or if the party is represented by counsel, the party’s attorney, shall complete the domestic relations/child support information sheet and print his or her name and daytime telephone number in the spaces provided at the bottom of the sheet before filing it with the court. However, the failure to file the domestic relations/child support information sheet when the complaint, petition, answer, or motion to intervene is filed shall not affect the validity of the action or the date of the commencement of the action

If the complaint, petition, answer, or motion to intervene is presented to the clerk of the court without a properly completed domestic relations/child support information sheet, the clerk shall accept the complaint, petition, answer, or motion to intervene and inform the person filing it of the requirements of this rule, and each party, or, if a party is represented by counsel, then the party’s attorney, shall promptly file a completed domestic relations/child support information sheet.

If a party fails to comply with the requirements of this rule, the court in which the action is pending may make such orders as it believes are just, including issuing an order staying the proceedings until the domestic relations/child support information sheet is filed, or, after proper notice, dismissing the action; and, in lieu of any other orders, or in addition to any orders, the court may treat the failure to comply with the requirements of this rule as contempt of court.
