A complaint or other initial pleading must first be filed with the clerk and assigned to a department before application is made to the judge for the entry of an order therein. This rule does not apply to family division matters seeking issuance of a temporary protective order, an order to seal record, an order allowing an indigent to file a complaint or another initial pleading without payment of fees, or as otherwise provided herein or by other rule, statute, or court order.
