Divorce.
56. The wife, if the husband's answer is insufficient, may apply on summons for a further and better answer or for discovery of documents or for an order for the husband's attendance for cross-examination, and such order shall thereupon be made as in the circumstances of the case may appear to a judge to be required.
57. If the answer of the husband alleges that the wife has property or income, she may within fourteen days file a reply on oath to that allegation; but the husband may not file a rejoinder to such reply without leave of a judge.
58. A wife who has obtained a decree of judicial separation may apply for an allotment of permanent alimony. She may proceed with such application upon the pleadings already filed on her application for alimony pending suit on giving eight days' notice to her husband or his solicitor of her intention so to do. Otherwise the rules governing an application for alimony pending suit shall govern an application for permanent alimony.
59. Permanent alimony shall, unless otherwise ordered, commence from the date of the final decree for judicial separation.

(2) Application for periodical payments may be made in like manner at any time after non-compliance with a decree of restitution of conjugal rights.
61. A certified copy of such petition under the seal of the court shall be served on the husband or wife (as the case may be) or his or her solicitor upon the record.
62. A party served with such petition may within fourteen days after service, after entering an appearance thereto, file an answer on oath and shall forthwith deliver a copy of such answer to the opposite party or his solicitor.
