You are supposed to exchange your exhbits beforehand, so yes.

A local court rule may require exchange of documents prior to a hearing, but if you want the Judge to read it before the hearing it must be served prior to submitting the document(s) to the court. Otherwise you take a chance that the Judge will not consider the document(s) at the hearing. If the custody proceeding is a trial other local rules may apply.
