injuries. Identify all persons with personal knowledge of your
spouse’s conduct and all persons with knowledge of any injuries

(Standard Domestic Relations Interrogatory No. 15.)
. . .
REPORTER’S NOTE
Amendments are proposed to two Form Interrogatories set forth
in Form No. 5, Domestic Relations Interrogatories.
The proposed amendment to Standard Domestic Interrogatory No.
12 corrects an obsolete reference to Rule 9-203 f. The
requirement that a financial statement be filed under certain
circumstances currently is set forth in sections (e) and (f) of
Rule 9-202.
Standard Domestic Relations Interrogatory No. 15 is proposed
to be amended in light of Chapter 419, Acts of 2003 (HB 346),
which adds cruelty of treatment toward a minor child of the
complaining party and excessively vicious treatment toward a minor
child of the complaining party to the grounds for absolute divorce
set forth in Code, Family Law Article, §7-103, conforming that
Code provision to comparable grounds for a limited divorce set
forth in Code, Family Law Article, §7-102 (a). Also, Franklin B.
Olmstead, Esq., has pointed out that the language “extreme
cruelty” in the Interrogatory does not track the statutory
language, “cruelty of treatment,” set forth in Code, Family Law
Article, §§ 7-102 (a)(1) and 7-103 (a)(7). The Committee
recommends that the Interrogatory be revised and restyled so that
the information sought is keyed to a contention of entitlement to
a divorce.
