A domestic relations information sheet substantially in the form approved by the Supreme Court shall be submitted with the petition initiating a domestic relations case, a motion to reopen a closed domestic relations case and with a party's first responsive pleading in a domestic relations case. A blank copy of the domestic relations information sheet shall be served on the respondent with the summons and petition. Information in the court automated information system which is obtained from the domestic relations information sheet is confidential and shall not be disclosed except that it may be disclosed to:
(1) the parties in the proceeding, unless otherwise ordered by the court;
(2) state and federal agencies required by law to collect the information disclosed; and
(3) court personnel for enforcement, data collection and record keeping purposes.
C. Legal Effect. Information appearing on the cover and information sheets will have no legal effect in the action.
D. Failure to Comply. The clerk will file a pleading even if it is submitted without a cover sheet or information sheet or is filed with a cover sheet or information sheet that is incomplete. If a party fails to file or complete a cover sheet, or fails to submit or complete an information sheet, the clerk will give written notice to the party of the deficiency. If a party fails to cure the deficiency within thirty (30) days, the court may enter an order which provides for dismissal of the party's claim without prejudice. The clerk shall serve a copy of the court's order of dismissal on all parties.
