What is a mandatory resolution statement?

You are probably referring to the RMC Statement. You can download a template at the Superior Court Web Site. It lays out your positions for the Court prior to the RMC Conference. Here is a link to the Rule: http://weblinks.westlaw.com/result/default.aspx?cite=UUID%28N14F7C8E0AC-5E11DE97CFC-30D94C59A9E%29&db=1082606&findtype=VQ&fn=_top&pbc=DA010192&rlt=CLID_FQRLT388919472154&rp=%2FSearch%2Fdefault.wl&rs=WEBL12.01&service=Find&spa=AZR-1000&sr=TC&vr=2.0 http://woodnicklaw.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/is-a-do-it-yourself-divorce-right-for-me/

The Resolution Management Conference (RMC) Statement is required to be filled out and filed by both parties before a RMC. It is basically a roadmap of your positions for the other party to see in order to facilitate settlement. What you put in there should be the truth, however you will not be held to the positions (e.g. what parenting time schedule you want) later on in your case. At the RMC you are free to change your position at will.
