Order #2
IOWA DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR __________ COUNTY
Upon the Petition of
_________________________________,
No. _____________________
Petitioner,
FAMILY LAW CASE
And Concerning
REQUIREMENTS ORDER
(without minor children)
_________________________________,
Respondent.
This Order tells each person in this case what you must do to get a final order from the
Court. These requirements apply to both people, whether you have a lawyer or not. In general,
you are both required to:
1.
Give certain financial information to your lawyer, if you have one, and to the
other person or their lawyer not more than 60 days from the date the case is
filed.
2.
Participate in a pretrial conference, which is scheduled approximately 90 days
after this case is filed.
3.
Attend together a mediation session with a mediator within 60 days after the
pretrial conference, if you have not settled the case before that.
4.
Submit a proposed Decree or obtain a Uniform Trial Scheduling Order. In Polk
County these order forms are available in courtrooms 412/413.
In all other
counties these form orders are available from the clerk of court.
These requirements are designed to encourage you and the other person in the case to
exchange information and to discuss possible settlement of your case before going to trial
before a judge. These requirements are also intended to make trials available more quickly for
people who cannot settle their cases.
If you want a court order for temporary support or to assign responsibility to pay bills
after the case is filed and before you receive a final Decree, you should also use the order titled
“Order for Hearing on Temporary Matters (mediation not required).” This will give you a fairly
prompt court date to have a judge make a decision on these matters.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
I.
Financial Information Exchange. Not more than 60 days from the date the case was
filed, you shall give your lawyer, if you have one, and to the other person or his/her lawyer the
following information:
