Section 20032 Of Chapter 3. Santa Clara County Pilot Project From California Family Law Code >> Division 20. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 3.
20032
. (a) Each and every hearing in a proceeding described in
Section 20031 in which child or spousal support is at issue,
including related contempt matters, shall be set by the clerk of the
court for hearing within 30 days of filing.
(b) At any hearing in which child or spousal support is at issue,
each party, both moving and responding, shall bring to the hearing,
copies of the last two federal and state income tax returns filed by
the party and pay stubs from the last four full months immediately
preceding the hearing received by the party, and shall serve those
documents on the opposing party at least five days in advance of the
hearing date. Willful failure to comply with these requirements or
any of the requirements of this pilot project may result in a
citation for contempt under Title 5 (commencing with Section 1209) of
Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, or in the court's discretion,
the court may refuse to grant relief requested or may impose
evidentiary sanctions on a party who fails to submit these documents.
The clerk shall cause to be placed on the face sheet of any moving
papers for child or spousal support at the time of filing, a notice
informing the parties of the requirements of this section. The notice
shall also inform the parties that prior to the hearing, they must
meet with the Attorney-Mediator pursuant to Section 20034. That
meeting may occur in advance of the hearing dates by agreement of the
parties, or on the day of the hearing.
(c) No continuance of any hearing involving child or spousal
support shall be granted by a court without an order setting an
interim support level unless the parties stipulate otherwise or the
court finds good cause therefor.
