relevant or is an issue to be considered by the court, a current financial declaration in the form
prescribed by the Supreme Court shall be served and filed by all parties.
(b) Filing and Service. Financial declarations shall be filed and served prior to or at the first hearing,
or no later than 45 days after the complaint is served, whichever occurs first.
(c) Effect of Default. If the defendant fails to timely answer or otherwise plead, the plaintiff shall not
be required to serve a financial declaration on the defendant prior to the final hearing.
(d) Sanctions. Reasonable sanctions may be imposed upon an attorney or a party for willful
noncompliance with this rule.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
