(1) Duty to Disclose. If the court at any stage of the proceeding, on its own initiative or on request of a party, determines that an adoption is contested, a party must disclose to other parties all relevant information that is not privileged. A party must allow other parties to inspect materials, with or without copying and regardless of whether those materials are in physical, paper, or electronic form.

(2) Manner of Disclosure. A party should disclose information in the least burdensome and most cost-effective manner.

(3) Limits on Secondary Dissemination. A person who receives disclosure must maintain the confidentiality of the information received and must not further disclose the information unless disclosure is authorized by statute or court order.

(4) Ongoing Disclosure Requirement. Unless the court orders otherwise, any relevant document received or prepared by a party must be disclosed no later than 10 days after its receipt or preparation. If a party receives or prepares a document fewer than 10 days before a hearing, the party must disclose it as soon as practicable before the hearing.

(1) the uncontested facts deemed material;

(2) the contested issues of fact and law that may be material or applicable;

(3) a statement of other issues of fact or law that each party believes to be material;

(4) the witnesses each party intends to call at trial, including their names, addresses and telephone numbers, and in addition, a description of the substance of each witness's expected testimony. No witness may be called at trial other than those disclosed in accordance with this rule, except for good cause shown. The pretrial disclosure statement must note witnesses whose testimony will be offered in the form of a deposition; and

(5) a list of and copies of all exhibits that each party intends to use at trial. If a party objects to the admission of an exhibit, the party must file a notice of objection and the specific grounds for each objection and provide a copy of the notice to all parties and the court no later than 10 days after receipt of the list of exhibits. Specific objections or grounds not listed in the disclosure statement are deemed waived, unless otherwise ordered by the court. No exhibits may be used at trial other than those disclosed in accordance with this rule, except for good cause shown.
