party.  The court may grant the motion only after service on all parties and an
opportunity for objection and hearing.
(b) Any person not a party to the proceeding may file a request and supporting
affidavit requesting inspection of a CIF.  The person must serve the request
and supporting affidavit on all parties to the proceeding in the manner
prescribed for service of summons in a civil action or by certified mail, return
receipt requested.  The court must allow the requesting person to inspect the

CIF,
(i) The court may limit the extent of disclosure and may enter such
protective orders as are necessary to balance the personal, privacy, and
safety interests of the parties or children with the legal interest of the
person seeking access; and
(ii) The requesting party must mail or deliver a copy of the order to all other
parties and must file a certificate of mailing or delivery.
