At least one of the attorneys who will conduct the trial for each party, and any self-represented parties, must attend this conference.

The party who initiated the action set for hearing must take the lead to prepare a draft joint statement and must communicate with every other party concerning the statement. Every statement must be signed by each party or counsel. However, if the parties are self-represented and there is a history of domestic violence, the parties must file separate statements.

A party may not present a witness or offer an exhibit during trial other than those listed and exchanged in a statement submitted before the scheduling conference or trial, unless the court orders otherwise for good cause. A party waives the right to raise an objection at the trial or hearing if the specific objection to a witness, exhibit, or claim is not raised in the statement submitted pursuant to section (f) of this rule.
