It also addresses procedural motions, case conference briefs, self-represented litigants, early consideration of resources such as Office of the Children’s Lawyer involvement or expert evidence, and the financial disclosure needed when support is sought. On urgency, the panel discusses Rule 14, the high threshold for bringing urgent relief before a case conference, and the strict limits on without-notice motions. Its practical value lies in its emphasis on preparation, focused materials, reasonable communication with the other side, and using each appearance to move a family law file forward efficiently.
