Brown vs. LestBr Franklin Brown No. 96 - 1236 civil In Divorce Dear Ms. Verney and Mr. Gilroy: By order of Court of President Judge George E. Hoffer dated August 6, 1998, the full-time Master has been appointed in the above referenced divorce proceedings. A divorce complaint was filed on March 6, 1996, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. No economic claims were raised in the complaint. On August 4, 1998, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint raising the additional grounds for divorce of indignities and the economic claims of equitable distribution, alimony, alimony pendente lite, and counsel fees and costs. On October 8, 1997, the Plaintiff filed an affidavit under Section 3301(d) averring that the parties separated on or about August 22, 1995, a period of at least two years. In response to the affidavit under Section 3301(d), the Defendant filed a counter-affidavit on November 17, 1997, indicating that he opposes the entry of a divorce decree because the parties have not been separated for a period of at least two years and because the marriage is not irretrievably broken. He also indicated that he wished to raise economic relief but has not filed any economic claims on his own behalf. It appears that we may have an issue with respect to the date of separation, however, I am going to proceed on the basis MARIA r..
