Berk. Cnty. Pa. 1920.51.7
As amended through May 6, 2024
Before appointing the time and place of taking testimony, the Divorce Master shall examine the pleadings and determine whether the court has jurisdiction and whether the matter is ready for hearing, and if so shall schedule the hearing in accordance with B.R.C.P. 1920.51.8. If the matter is not ready for hearing, the Divorce Master shall either report to the court or notify counsel and suspend further action for a reasonable time to enable the necessary corrections to be made. Upon the expiration of said time without such corrections having been made, the Divorce Master shall report this to the court, and seek advice on how to proceed with the matter.
