Full Text of Rule 5.112.1
Plain-English Summary
The 10-page cap in rule 5.111 applies to the declaration, not to the packet. This rule says so, starting with the form: the Judicial Council form portion of a declaration does not count toward the limit.
Five categories may be attached to a Request for Order or a Responsive Declaration without counting: the Income and Expense Declaration and its required attachments; the Financial Statement (Simplified) and its attachments; the Property Declaration and its attachments; exhibits attached to declarations; and a memorandum of points and authorities.
