Berk. Cnty. Pa. 1930.5
A party or parties seeking to have a support case designated as complex shall first proceed to a hearing before the assigned support hearing officer and request that the case be so designated. If appropriate, the hearing officer shall prepare a recommended order for the court which designates the case as complex and sets forth a discovery schedule which identifies with specificity the discovery to be conducted (other than the documents identified in the regular order to appear at the hearing), and dates by which the discovery shall be completed. If the parties agree to such designation, they shall appear at the first scheduled hearing and present a proposed order containing the above information. Thereafter, the DRS shall schedule a hearing before the hearing officer after the date on which all discovery is to be completed.
