CRAIG, plaintiff vs. IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA NO. 96 - 1666 CIVIL ROBERT E. CRAIG, II, Defendant RE: Pre-Hearing Conference Memorandum DATE: Friday, January 16, 1998 Present for the Plaintiff, Karen J. Craig, is attorney Andrea C. Jacobsen, and present for the Defendant, Robert E. Craig, II, is attorney Austin F. Grogan. A divorce complaint was filed on March 28, 1996, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Although an affidavit under section 3301{d) was filed on December 5, 1997, averring a two year separation from January 10, 1996, counsel have indicated that the parties will most likely sign and file affidavits of consent prior to the hearing. The complaint also raised the economic claims of equitable distribution, alimony, alimony pendente lite, and counsel fees and expenses. With respect to the alimory claim, counsel have indicated that they intend to offer testimony on the factor of marital misconduct which will involve each of the party's alleged relationships with other persons prior to and after the separation. There ha~ been some discussion among counsel that there may be specific testimony that neither of the parties had any relationships while they were living together; however, that is not clear and we will entertain whatever testimony the parties offer on the alleged relationships. In any event, counsel are directed to provide each other a list of witnesses at least a month prior to the hearing who will be offered on the marital misconduct issue. Wife is in her late 20s and resides at 11 Baltimore street, Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, with the three children. She is a high school graduate and works for McDonalds as a fast food worker. Her attorney indicated that her net biweekly income i. $280.00. Her medical insurance is currently being covered through her husband's employer. Wife has not raised any health issues. She is receiving $168.00 per week in child support and $50.00 per week for spousal support. Counsel are going to determine the cost to wife of COBRA benefits through husband'. employer after the entry of a divorce decree. Mr. Grogan a1.0 indicated that he believes that she is able to get medical insurance coverage through her employment and he will provide . . . evidence on that matter. Husband is 29 years of age and resides at 10 Killinger Road, Etters, Pennsylvania 17319 where he lives with a female friend. He is a high school graduate and works for Greiner Industries, Inc., as a millwright/welder. His weekly gross income is $540.00 and adding back in the child and spousal support deduction, his net weokly it $409.05. He has not raised any health issues. Counsel have indicated that there is not any issue regarding the equitable distribution of assets but there is some question about some unpaid marital debt involving payments to an obstetrician that are due and to Met Ed totalling $445.00. Wife has indicated that she would like husband to contribute toward the payment of those outstanding bills. Mr. Grogan was not aware of these bills and asked Ms. Jacobsen to provide him verification of what is due to the obstetrician and to Met Ed. Currently the main point of contention in this case is alimony and the Master inquired as to what wife would like to have and her counsel indicated $50.00 per week. There is also a question about the cost to wife for her medical insurance benefits and Mr. Grogan has indicated that his client did offer to pay her COBRA benefits for one year. Because there is probably going to be a number of persons to testify on the issue of the alleged relationships of the parties with other persons, we are going to schedule a separate hearing on the marital misconduct issue for Friday, April 3, 1998, at 9:00 a.m. Notices will be sent to counsel and the parties. The testimony will be limited to the factor of marital misconduct as that factor affects wife's alimony claim. At that hearing we will determine what date we will need to take the additional testimony on other alimony factors and counsel fees. E. Robert Elicker, II Divorce Master CCI Andrea C.

Craig, II No. 96 - 1666 In Divorce Austin F. Grogan, Esquire 24 North 32nd Street Camp Hill, PA 17011 Dear Ms. Jacobsen and Mr. Grogan: By order of Court of President Judge Harold E. Sheely dated July 23, 1996, the full-time Master has been appointed in the above referenced divorce proceedings. Please note that the caption on the order appointing Master is incorrect designating Robert Craig as the Plaintiff and Karen Cra ig as the Defendant. 'lhe divorce complaint and other pleadings in the file show Karen Craig as the Plaintiff and Robert Craig as the Defendant. A divorce complaint was filed on March 28, 1996, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and the economic claims of alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs and expenses, and equitable distribution. The motion for appointment of Master specifies distribution of property as the only economic issue; however, since other claims have been raised in the pleadings, I will address all claims. I am unable to determine from the file whether or not the parties are willing to sign affidavits of consent or if the parties have been separated for a period in excess of two year.. However, I am going to proceed on the basis that grounds for divorce are not at issue and in accordance with P.R.C.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing each counsel and to file a pre-trial . Ms. Jaoobsen and Mr. Grogan, Attorneys at Law 25 July 1996 paqe 2 statement on or before Friday, August 16, 1996. Upon receipt of the pre-trial statements I will immediately schedule a pre-hearing conference with counsel to discuss the issues and, if necessary, schedule a hearIng. Very truly yours, E. Robert Elicker, II Divorce Master NOTE I Sanctions for failure to file the pre-trial statements are set forth in subdivision (c) and (d) of Rule 1920.33. THE ORIGINAL PRE-TRIAL STATEMENT SHOULD BE FILED IN THE MASTER'S OFFICE AND A COPY SENT DIRECTLY TO OPPOSING COUNSEL.
