In all contested divorce cases, a trial date will be assigned at the pre-trial conference. At the pre-trial conference the parties shall present a combined declaration, under oath, setting forth all of the income, expenses, assets and debts of the parties, and a list of separate property. The parties shall also submit a proposed division of such assets and debts. Such declaration and proposed division shall be in Excel Spreadsheet format. At the Court's discretion, failure to submit such declaration may result in a party not being allowed to present such evidence at the trial on the merits.

Further, the declaration shall include any proposed child support calculations, and any proposed arrangement as to the custody of any child(ren).

ASSETS: Each party shall give a personal opinion as to the value of each asset, regardless of who has possession of the same. In the event that one of the parties plans to use a witness to establish the value of any asset, that party shall provide the name, address and credentials of said expert.

DEBTS: All debts, secured or unsecured, shall be listed giving the name and address of each creditor, the unpaid balance, the periodic payment, and whether or not the debt is current. If the debt is delinquent, adequate information must be provided as to when the debt became delinquent and what asset has been given as security.

The court may on its own motion require either party to furnish such additional information as the court deems necessary to ensure an efficient disposition of the case.
