第六十七条（家事審判の申立書の写しの送付等）
Article 67Sending of Copy of Written Petition for Adjudication of Domestic Relations
When a petition for adjudication of domestic relations regarding any of the matters set forth in Appended Table 2 is filed, the family court must send a copy of a written petition for adjudication of domestic relations to the respondent, except when the petition is unlawful or the petition is clearly groundless; provided, however, that if it is found that there is a risk of interfering with smooth progress in the proceedings for adjudication of domestic relations, the family court may give notice to the respondent of the fact that a petition for adjudication of domestic relations is filed, in lieu of sending a copy of a written petition for adjudication of domestic relations.
The provisions of Article 49, paragraphs (4) through (6) apply mutatis mutandis when it is impossible to send a copy of a written petition for adjudication of domestic relations or to give notice in lieu of sending the copy under the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
第四十九条第四項から第六項までの規定は、前項の規定による家事審判の申立書の写しの送付又はこれに代わる通知をすることができない場合について準用する。
When the presiding judge specifies a reasonable period and orders a petitioner to prepay costs for sending a copy of a written petition for adjudication of domestic relations or for giving notice in lieu of sending such copy under the provisions of paragraph (1), but the costs are not prepaid, the presiding judge must, by a direction, dismiss the written petition for adjudication of domestic relations.
An immediate appeal may be filed against the direction set forth in the preceding paragraph.
