14.03    Pre-Trial Memorandum

Before a petition for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or declaration of invalidity proceeds to pre-trial conference or a contested hearing on remaining issues, or a post-judgment petition proceeds to a pre-trial conference or a contested hearing on issues, each party must complete and sign a Pre-Trial Memorandum, as set forth in Appendix P. The pre-trial memorandum shall be presented to the court five (5) days prior to any pre-trial conference or hearing on the merits. A pre-trial memorandum is not required for temporary relief or in those cases in which no contested grounds or issues exist.

The requirements of this rule may be waived by agreement of the court and all parties of record.
