Oetendant I IN DIVORCE
REI Pre~learinq Conference Memorandum
Attorney
James E.
DI\'l'1.':1 fepruary 17, 1999
presunt for the Plaintiff, Joyce E. Callahan, is
P. Rlohard Wagner, and present for the Defendant,
Callahan, ls I\ttorney Hubert X. allroy.
1\ divoroe oomplaint was filed on Deoember 23,
19915, raising grounds for divoroe of irretrievable brel1kdown
of the marriage. Counssl have advised that the parties will
sign and file affidavits of oonsent and waivers of notice of
intention to rsqUest entry of divorce dsores so that thu
divoroe oon bs oonoludsd under Section 3301(0) of the
Divoroe Code.
The oomplaint also raised the economic claims of
equitaple distripution, alimony, allmony pendente lite,
oounsel fees and costs.
With respect to the alimony Claim, oounsel for
husband is going to see it hls client will stipUlate that he
was having an extra-marital affair. It not, then Mr. allroy
will advise the Master and Mr. Wagner that he needs to have
some time to take testimony and offer witnesses on the
marital misconduot issue, if wife persists in her olaim that
husband was having a relationshlp with another woman whlle
the parties were married and llving together.
The parties were marrled on May 21, 1991, and
separated November 21, 1986. They are the natural parsnts
of two ohildren James E. callahan, III, porn I\pril 24,
1986, and Janeile Elaine Callahan, porn January 9, 1991.
The childrsn are in the custody ot wife.
Wite is 41 years ot age and resides at 1885 Rachel
Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where she lives with the two
children. She is a high school graduate and currently works
part time aa a teacher'S aid at the Carlisle School
.
Distriot, netting $242.00 every two weeks. ~ooording to
Hr. Wagner sne will nave medioal insuranoe ooverage
available to her tnrougn ner employment, but sns most likely
will nave to pay tne oosts ot ooverage, Mr. Wagner is going
to determine wnat tnat oost will be.
Wite suttered a knee iniury about a year ago and
is ourrently walking witn some impediment, but tne injury
does not prevent ner from doing ner job. wite is ourrently
reoieving $671.00 per montn in onild support, and $433.00
per montn in spousal support.
Husband is 39 years of age and resides at 645 Park
Ridge Drive, Meonaniosburg, Pennsylvania where wife believes
he lives witn a female triend. Husband's attorney is not
oertain wnether or not he is living alone or living with
anotner person. Husband is a high sohool graduate, and is
the manager at tne Best Western motel in Middlesex Township.
His annual inoome is reported at $55,000.00. Husband is
direoted to file an inoome and expense statement providing
pay stups within the next eight weeks. Mr. Wagner suggests
that huspand may have additional inoome as a result of
oommissions tnat he earns from vendors tnat have pusiness at
the hotel. This issue was not raised when the support order
was entered put wife apparently pelieves tnat husband had
other inoome as indioated, and Mr. Wagner wanted to put us
on notice that that may be an issue. Huspand nas not raiRed
any health issues,
The parties own real estate at lBB~ Racnel Drive,
carlisle, Pennsylvania. The house was appraised by Wolfe
and Shearer and oounsel will stipuilatA tnat the appraisal
plaoed the market value at $109,000.00. Huspand indioated
tnat the mortgagee is Meridian Bank, wnioh is now First
Union with a payment of $600.00 per montn. Wife indioated
the mortgagee is Harris savings Bank with a mortgage payment
ot $705.00 per month. Counsel shOUld pe aple to obtain the
aoourate information with regard to the mortgagee and
payment by the hearing date. Mr. Gilroy has also raised a
question of rental value put it may pe that the payments
that wife is making for the mortgage, taxes and insurance
are nearly equal to the rental value.
The parties each have a vehicle which neither
party identified as to year. Wife han a Saturn and husband
has a Ford Explorer, lluspand'n counsel indicatod that after
he determinen the year of the vehicles, he may llOVO tho
vehicles apprained.
The p~e-trial atatementa liat oheoking and .aving.
aooounta, and Mr. Wagner indioated that hia olient ~80eived
the fund. from those aooounts, we ahould have verifioation
of the amounts that were reoeived by wife so that hUsband
oan be given app~opriate oredit.
When husband lott the marital residenoe, he left
behind the household tangible personal property. Mr. Gilroy
indioated that he ie going to talk to his client to
determine if he wanta to have the property nppraiued.
The pre-trial statementa liot marital debt and
husband has boen assumming the debt and making the payments.
So huaband oan rocoivo oredit for payment or debt we ahould
have verification ot the date ot separation balanoes on the
various oharges.
The main iasue in this oase is how we oan dnvise
distribution ot the major marital asset, whioh is the real
estate, since wife is living the~e with the ohildren and has
no means to buyout husband's interest, and sinoe there are
no ott setting assests which husband can receive. One of
the suggestions was that wife should waive her olaim for
alimony in return tor the husband relinquiShing his interest
in the real estate, but the Master indicated that that did
not seem possible upon roview or the factors of the oodol
furthermore, without alimony, wif,e would not bo abie to make
the payments to maintain the property,
Based on disoussions with counsel, it was
suggested that a distribution of husband's equity in the
house b~ deferred for a period of time to allow wife to
remain there with the children. It was suggested that
perhaps a oompromise might be to wait until the older child
is graduated from high SCllool,
As the Master has noted above, he does not belisve
he is able, under the oode and looking at the factors that
he can offset wife's claim for alimony against a marital
asset. Under the circumstanoes that the Master is aware Of,
with respect to the differenoe of income of the parties
wire's custody of dependent minor children, and the ability
to acquire assests in the future, wife would be entitled to
alimony.
The hearing is schedUled for Thursday, August 19,
1999, at 9100 a.m. Notices will be sent to counsel and the
parties.

Custody Conciliator
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm writing to you to tell you what I want. What I really want is to be able to
spend equal time with both of you. I know this will be a big change for everybody
and it will take some time getting use to. My goal isn't to hurt anybody's feelings
or to make anybody mad, especially you Mom. I also think that you'll be angry
and disappointed with what I want to do. Mom it's not like I don't love you
anymore, because I do and always will. I'm not going to change how much I love
the other person, I love you both equal and nothing I mean nothing will change
that. I care about both of you so much that I don't want one of you to have the
majority of the time. I want it to be equal and fair for me and both of you. I would
really like my time with each of you to be one week with Mom, and one week with
Dad. I know this may be sudden, but I would really want this to begin in Mayor
the last day of school.
Mom, I really want you to know that Dad is not putting me up to this in
anyway. This is my decision based on what I feel. Dad, I don't know if you are
ready for what I want, but I think you will be. Making this change does not have
to be hard, you should realize that this is what I want, and I think it'll work.
Finally, I would like to ask what would be so wrong with me, your child,
wanting to spend the same amount of time with both of you? One thing I would
really hope to do and I know that both of you can do it, I want both of you to have
better communication with each other. I know this will make me feel a whole lot
better and I hope that you can put your differences aside to make this happen.
Love you both lots,
Janelle XOXO
