7. Denied as stated. Prior to Plaintiff s Petition for Special Reliefbeing filed, any and
all obligations on the marital home were current. The 2001 County and Township taxes have not
yet been paid; however, the face period for same runs from May 1 through June 30.
7. The averments of the second Paragraph Number 7 are specifically denied. Theparties
do not have a child named Alexandra that will enter kindergarten in the fall of200 1. Specific proof
thereof would be demanded at triaL
8. Plaintiff s Petition for Special Reliefin Paragraph Number 8 appears to represent that
Father requests shared legal custody with Mother and primary physical custody of the child with
liberal partial custody arrangements for Mother. It is believed, therefore averred, that said averment
in Paragraph Number 8 is erroneously included in this Petition, thus no response is necessary.
Should this Court determine a more specific response is necessary, the averment is specifically
denied.
WHEREFORE, Respondent respectfully requests that Plaintiff s Petition for Special Relief
be denied as the averments contained therein are not factually correct and Respondent is current in
all obligations on the marital residence.
Respectfully submitted,

2. On September 13, 2001, a hearing was scheduled in this matter before the
Honorable Judge Oler.
3. At that time, the parties entered into a stipulation which was read into the record by
counsel and entered as an Order dated September 13, 2001.
4. Pursuant to the terms of the Court Order, Husband had seven (7) months from the
date of the Order to complete a refinance or assumption to remove Wife's name from all
obligations associated with the home.
5. At the time of the ref mance, Wife was to execute a deed transferring her interest in
the marital home to Husband and the equity in the home would be divided equally between the
parties.
6. The refinance of this property has not occurred.
7. Respondent's counsel contacted Petitioner's counsel approximately thirty (30)
days ago regarding the refinance, but no proof of refmance or the payment of one-half of the
equity has ever been provided to Petitioner.

8. Pursuant to the terms of the Order, if Husband failed to refmance within the time

10. Pursuant to the Order, Husband was to be solely responsible for all costs and

11. The time provided in the Order has expired, and Husband has failed to comply

Gontact me.
I note that I am enclosing for you a copy of the Certification filed my Mary Kollas Kennedy

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF'S SECOND MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY RESPONSES
Plaintiff, Janet Bohls, pursuant to Rule 4019 of Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, seeks
an Order compelling Defendant Fred Bohls to provide answers to Plaintiffs Second Request for
Production of Documents, and in support thereof, states as follows:
1. On September 11, 2001, counsel for Plaintiff served counsel for Defendant with Request
for Production of Documents Second Set, via First Class mail.
2. Under Rules 4006 and 4009.12 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendant
was required to respond to these Discovery Requests within 30 days.
3. As of the date of this Motion, Defendant has failed to respond in any fashion to
Plaintiffs Discovery Request.
4. Much of the information requested is in the complete control of Defendant. Specifically,
Defendant refuses to provide information regarding his income, sources of income and
documentation thereof. Plaintiff cannot proceed with this case without that information.
5. Plaintiffs counsel has attempted to list this case for Master's hearing, but without
complete discovery, this case cannot be finalized.
6. It is believed that Defendant is deliberately ignoring the Rules of Civil Procedure in
order to continue to delay this matter.
7. On April 10, 2000, Plaintiff issued a First Set of Interrogatories and Request for
Production of Documents.
8. On May 22, 2000, Plaintiff had to file a Motion to Compel Discovery and a
corresponding Rule to Show Cause regarding the inaccurate request.
.
,_ ,,~,' I", _ "
9. This Court issued a Rule on June 8, 2000. In response to this Rule, Plaintiff responded
by sending a letter dated August 31, 2001 attached hereto wherein in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2,
he outlined his client's gross earned income.
lO. Pursuant to his correspondence, it appears the Plaintiff has failed to file a 1999 or 2000
tax return even though both of those are overdue with the granting of one extension.
11. In addition, Defendant outlined claims for reduction income due to business deductions,
but refuses to outline what those deductions are.
Plaintiff requests this Court order Defendant to produce all information and supporting
documentation within ten (lO) days ofthe execution of this Order, order Defendant to pay fees in
amount of$750.00 to Plaintiff, and order Defendant to file his 1999 and 2000 tax returns no later
than December, 2001.
Without the Court's enforcement, Defendant will continue to act with complete disregard of
the Rules of Civil Procedure.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to enter an Order compelling
Defendant to produce the requested information within ten (lO) days, to pay Plaintiff fees in the
amount of $750.00, and to file his 1999 and 2000 tax returns no later than December 31, 2001.

RE: Bohls v. Bohls
No. 2000-895 - In Divorce
Our File No. 1796.1
Dear Ms. Cantor:
Please accept this letter as a follow up to my voicemail message to you of August 30, 200 I
regarding the above-referenced matter. As I advised you in the voicemail, I have contacted Judge
Cler's chambers and advised them that I do not oppose your request to have the hearing scheduled
for September 13, 2001 rescheduled.
It is my understanding that your client has moved from Florida to California, thus it would
appear as though she rnight want to resolve this case so that she does not incur the expense to travel
from California to Pennsylvania. Please be advised that my client will not consent to having her
appear via telephone conference.
As I also advised you in my voicemail message, it appears as though both of our clients
signed ajoint 1998 Federal Income Tax Return. It appears as though your client signed it on April
8,2001 and my client signed it on April15, 2001. For your file, I arn enclosing the first two (2)
pages of said Return.
With regard to my client's earned income for years 1999 and 2000, they are as follows:
1. For 1999, my client had earned income of$792.82 from Insurance Group; $10,528.25
from Principal Life; $5,489.47 from Princor; and $162.00 of miscellaneous income. That totals
$16,972.54 before any business deductions. My client is still in the process of compiling that
information and has secured extensions from the Internal Revenue Service to file said Return.

2. My client's eamed income for year 2000 is as follows: Principal Life - $7,725.14;
Princor - $6,542,91; and miscellaneous of $162.00 for a total of $14,530.05. As with the 1999
income, this is before any deductions my client would be entitled to and as with 1999, my client has
secured the appropriate extensions within which to file a Tax Return.
As I further advised you in my voicemail message, it appears as though our clients' daughter
has decided to move back to Pennsylvania from Florida and will be living with my client.
Please be advised that I will be meeting with my client early next week in order to discuss
the responses to Interrogatories which you provided on behalf of your client. Upon initial review,
it appears as though some of the questions were not fully answered and in that your client has moved
from Florida to California, some of the answers may need to be amended. I will advise you of the
additional information we will be requesting by the end of next week.
Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to
contact me at your convenience.
Very truly yours,

MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY AND TO SEEK FEES
NOW COMES Plaintiff, Janet BoWs, by and through her counsel, Reager & Adler, PC, and
moves this court to enter an order compelling Defendant to comply with Discovery requests and
awarding Plaintiff sanctions, as follows:
1. Plaintiff and Defendant are Husband and Wife in a divorce action filed under the
above caption.
2. On Aprill 0, 2000, Plaintiff served on Defendant Interrogatories and Requests for
Production of Documents via first class mail.
3. Defendant failed to answer said request.
4. On June l, 200 l, Plaintiff filed a Motion for an Order to Compel Discovery in this
court a Rule to Show Cause was issued on June 8, 2000.
5. A Petition to Make Rule Absolute was filed on November 9, 2000 after considerable
delay based on representation by Defendant's counsel that he was preparing said discovery
responses.
6. On November 20, 2000 the Rule was made absolute and Defendant was given twenty
(20) days in which to respond.
7. By letter dated December 7,2000, Defense provided a response.
8. This response is inadequate. Specifically Defendant failed to provide information
regarding his current employment other than he is self employed. He specifically failed to describe
the type of position he has, his monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, or daily pay. He partially completed
the Income and Expense Statement that was attached to the discovery request, but failed to provide

,
any information regarding his income.
9. In response to requests for tax retwn information, Defendant provide only the 1997
tax retwn which the parties fIled jointly. He has failed to provide any updated income information.
10. As income of the partes is important in the determination of equitable distribution,
Defendant's failure to provide this information severely prejudices.
11. As Defendant is self employed, he is in sole and complete possession of all
information regarding his income.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to order Defendant to provide all
information regarding his income from 1998 to the present and be ordered to pay counsel fees and
costs in the amount of$750.00.

JANET BOHlS,
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 2000-895
Plaintiff/Respondent
IN DIVORCE
v.
FRED BOHlS,
Defendant/Petitioner
ANSWER TO PETITION FOR CIVIL CONTEMPT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff/Respondent, Janet Bohls, by and through her
counsel, McNees Wallace & Nurick llC, and files the following Answer to Petition for
Civil Contempt as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that payment was ultimately
made. However, Petitioner did not prepare and forward a deed for execution until
December 2004. Counsel for Respondent had difficulty contacting Respondent.
Respondent ultimately elected to represent herself and sought assurance that all liens
and encumberances had been satisfied.
6. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that Petitioner's counsel
made attempts to have respondent sign a Deed transferring 3519 Ada Drive to
Respondent. Prior to executing the deed, Respondent requested that the parties share
.~
.,-,-.,,,,,',.
,",-
< . . '-"-<[,1
,. -.--10 ,',' ,.' ."', 'c, '~'--"~-" ~...- .:~ :;; '~,/, '1
the cost of a bring-down/title search on the property to assure that there were no
outstanding liens in her name prior to transfer. Petitioner, and Petitioner's counsel,
failed to respond to said request. Therefore, Respondent retained counsel to prepare a
bring-down which reflected an outstanding obligation which had to be cleared prior to
the transfer of the Deed. Said obligation was utlimately removed and the deed
executed.
7. Denied. Respondent did not refuse to transfer 3519 Ada Drive, and in
fact, had executed the Deed prior to the filing of this Petition. Respondent did require a
bring-down on the property to assure she had no further liens in her name. There was
in fact one obligation which was not cleared. After removal of this obligation, the Deed
was executed and forwarded to counsel.
8. Admitted in part, denied in part. The language in the Marital Settlement
Agreement speaks for itself. It is denied that Respondent breached the agreement.
9. Denied. It is denied that Petitioner has incurred and will continue to incur
costs due to Respondent's breach. It is also specifically denied that Respondent
breached the Marital Settlement Agreement. Respondent transferred the Deed upon
proof that there were no additional liens against the home. The need for this assurance
was warranted given the prior deceitful and contemptuous behavior of Petitioner.
10. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without knowledge
or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments set forth in this
paragraph, and, therefore, the averments are denied. By way of further answer, in no
way is Respondent obligated for insurance costs on a home possessed solely by
Petitioner since March 2000.
2
11. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without knowledge
or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments set forth in this
paragraph, and, therefore, the averments are denied. By way of further answer,
Respondent is in no way responsible for taxes on a property solely occupied by
Petitioner since March 2000.
12. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without knowledge
or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments set forth in this
paragraph, and, therefore, the averments are denied. By way of further answer, in no
way is Respondent responsible for the cost of principle and interest on a mortgage held
solely in Petitioner's name for property solely occupied by Petitioner since March 2000.
WHEREFORE, Respondent requests this Honorable Court to deny Respondent's
Petition for Civil Contempt.
NEW MATTER
13. Paragraphs 1 through 12 of this Answer are incorporated herein by
reference.
14. Respondent is a party to divorce in this matter, which was filed on
February 15, 2000.
15. Petitioner's behavior in this case was vexacious, deceitful and in direct
violation of the Rules of Civil Procedure and repeated Court Orders. During the course
of this case, Respondent filed two separate motions to compel discovery, one in 2000
and one in 2001. Plaintiff also filed a Petition for Special Relief on April 12, 2001 due to
Petitioner's failure to pay obligations related to the marital home which he has solely
occupied since March 4, 2000.
3
":"".".,
16. A hearing on the Petition was scheduled before Judge Wesley Oler on
September 13, 2001.
17. On September 13, 2001, the parties entered into a Stipulation which was
read into the record and entered as an Order regarding the marital home. Pursuant to
the terms of the Order, Husband had 7 months from the date of the Order to complete a
refinance or assumption to remove Wife's name from all obligations. The refinance did
not occur.
18. Therefore, on June 12, 2003, Respondent was forced to file a Motion to
Enforce Court Order/Motion for Contempt requiring the sale of the marital home.
Petitioner failed to file a response to this Motion and a Motion to Make Rule Absolute
was filed on July 15, 2003.
19. On July 17, 2003 the Court entered an Order directing the parties to sell
the real property at 3519 Ada Drive. Respondent made attempts to effect that Order,
and failed to have any cooperation from Petitioner.
20. A Motion for Contempt was filed on September 26, 2003 for Petitioner's
failure to further respond to the Order.
21. During the pendency of the proceedings, Petitioner was contacted by her
mortgage company to indicate that the parties' mortgage had been paid in full and that
another mortgage had been taken out on the property. Petitioner did not consent to this
refinance nor did she provide the documentation necessary to perfect title for the
mortgage company.
22. Respondent's counsel attempted to contact Petitioner's counsel on several
occasions regarding these improprieties. When she was unable to obtain information
4
,-",.,,~'. ,'j. - "."-"-',
.,
. '1-" ~.
',_"C ..~
---" -, ,'" --" "
,"-' ---' ..,,-J--, _j:t i~', ';.._'., '-~
-",,',--.,'-,
.- "",
directly from Petitioner, she was forced to subpoena the mortgage company and the
settlement package from Petitioner's counsel's office in order to determine exactly what
occurred. It was discovered that Petitioner had re-financed the marital home into his
own name, but had not obtained Respondent's signature on the Deed. Further,
Petitioner had refinanced not sufficient funds to pay Respondent for her interest in the
marital home, nor had Petitioner's counsel perfected title for the new mortgage
company.
23. Ultimately, the parties appeared before Judge Wesley Oler, and an Order
was entered on December 1, 2003 requiring Petitioner to pay Respondent for her
interest in the home. This Order was incorporated into 113.4 of the parties' Marital
Settlement Agreement.
24. Petitioner ultimately made all payments associated with this Agreement,
and requested Respondent's execution on the Deed.
25. Given the multiple filings for Motions to Compel Discovery, Motions for
Special Relief, Contempt Petitions, and Motions to Enforce Court Orders, and for the
deception which occurred regarding the parties' marital home, it was reasonable for
Respondent to require a bring-down on the property prior to execution of the Deed.
When such request was met with resistance from Petitioner and Petitioner's counsel,
Respondent promptly obtained a bring-down on her own behalf and executed the Deed
upon proof that title and her credit were clear.
26. It should be further noted that Respondent's Petition for Civil Contempt
and Order crossed in the mail with the executed Deed.

. ~, ",
, . ';-,-; -'. -: ::-{:,- :":,' ,:~.,,-~~- --,' .
. .
27. Respondent's counsel contacted Petitioner's counsel on repeated
occasions requesting the withdrawal of the Petition for Civil Contempt, given that the
underlying request had been met concurrently with the filing of the Petition. Petitioner
would not agree to withdraw the Petition.
28, It is clear through the history of this case that Respondent incurred
significant attorneys' fees and costs based on Petitioner's non-compliance with the
Rules of Civil Procedure or with Court Orders. It is also clear that Petitioner and his
counsel engaged in deceptive practices and deliberately concealed such actions from
Respondent. Respondent sought to protect her interests by assuring that her credit and
the title to the home were clear prior to executing the Deed, and as such should not be
charged with contempt nor be responsible for any fees and costs associated with this
matter.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to dismiss the Petition
for Civil Contempt.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
JANET BOHLS,
NO. 2000-895
Plaintiff/Respondent
IN DIVORCE
v.
FRED BOHLS,
Defendant/Petitioner
ANSWER TO PETITION FOR CIVIL CONTEMPT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff/Respondent, Janet Bohls, by and through her
counsel, McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, and files the following Answer to Petition for
Civil Contempt as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3_ Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that payment was ultimately
made. However, Petitioner did not prepare and forward a deed for execution until
December 2004. Counsel for Respondent had difficulty contacting Respondent.
Respondent ultimately elected to represent herself and sought assurance that all liens
and encumberances had been satisfied.
6. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that Petitioner's counsel
made attempts to have respondent sign a Deed transferring 3519 Ada Drive to
Respondent. Prior to executing the deed, Respondent requested that the parties share
the cost of a bring-down/title search on the property to assure that there were no
outstanding liens in her name prior to transfer. Petitioner, and Petitioner's counsel,
failed to respond to said request. Therefore, Respondent retained counsel to prepare a
bring-down which reflected an outstanding obligation which had to be cleared prior to
the transfer of the Deed. Said obligation was utlimately removed and the deed
executed.
7. Denied. Respondent did not refuse to transfer 3519 Ada Drive, and in
fact, had executed the Deed prior to the filing of this Petition. Respondent did require a
bring-down on the property to assure she had no further liens in her name. There was
in fact one obligation which was not cleared. After removal of this obligation, the Deed
was executed and forwarded to counsel.
8. Admitted in part, denied in part. The language in the Marital Settlement
Agreement speaks for itself. It is denied that Respondent breached the agreement.
9. Denied. It is denied that Petitioner has incurred and will continue to incur
costs due to Respondent's breach. It is also specifically denied that Respondent
breached the Marital Settlement Agreement. Respondent transferred the Deed upon
proof that there were no additional liens against the home. The need for this assurance
was warranted given the prior deceitful and contemptuous behavior of Petitioner.
10. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without knowledge
or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments set forth in this
paragraph, and, therefore, the averments are denied. By way of further answer, in no
way is Respondent obligated for insurance costs on a home possessed solely by
Petitioner since March 2000.
2
11. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without knowledge
or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments set forth in this
paragraph, and, therefore, the averments are denied. By way of further answer,
Respondent is in no way responsible for taxes on a property solely occupied by
Petitioner since March 2000.
12. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without knowledge
or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments set forth in this
paragraph, and, therefore, the averments are denied. By way of further answer, in no
way is Respondent responsible for the cost of principle and interest on a mortgage held
solely in Petitioner's name for property solely occupied by Petitioner since March 2000.
WHEREFORE, Respondent requests this Honorable Court to deny Respondent's
Petition for Civil Contempt.
NEW MATTER
13. Paragraphs 1 through 12 of this Answer are incorporated herein by
reference.
14. Respondent is a party to divorce in this matter, which was filed on
February 15, 2000.
15. Petitioner's behavior in this case was vexacious, deceitful and in direct
violation of the Rules of Civil Procedure and repeated Court Orders. During the course
of this case, Respondent filed two separate motions to compel discovery, one in 2000
and one in 2001. Plaintiff also filed a Petition for Special Relief on April 12, 2001 due to
Petitioner's failure to pay obligations related to the marital home which he has solely
occupied since March 4, 2000.
3
16. A hearing on the Petition was scheduled before Judge Wesley Oler on
September 13, 2001.
17. On September 13, 2001, the parties entered into a Stipulation which was
read into the record and entered as an Order regarding the marital home. Pursuant to
the terms of the Order, Husband had 7 months from the date of the Order to complete a
refinance or assumption to remove Wife's name from all obligations. The refinance did
not occur.
18. Therefore, on June 12, 2003, Respondent was forced to file a Motion to
Enforce Court Order/Motion for Contempt requiring the sale of the marital home.
Petitioner failed to file a response to this Motion and a Motion to Make Rule Absolute
was filed on July 15, 2003.
19. On July 17, 2003 the Court entered an Order directing the parties to sell
the real property at 3519 Ada Drive. Respondent made attempts to effect that Order,
and failed to have any cooperation from Petitioner.
20. A Motion for Contempt was filed on September 26, 2003 for Petitioner's
failure to further respond to the Order.
21. During the pendency of the proceedings, Petitioner was contacted by her
mortgage company to indicate that the parties' mortgage had been paid in full and that
another mortgage had been taken out on the property. Petitioner did not consent to this
refinance nor did she provide the documentation necessary to perfect title for the
mortgage company.
22. Respondent's counsel attempted to contact Petitioner's counsel on several
occasions regarding these improprieties. When she was unable to obtain information
4
directly from Petitioner, she was forced to subpoena the mortgage company and the
settlement package from Petitioner's counsel's office in order to determine exactly what
occurred. It was discovered that Petitioner had re-financed the marital home into his
own name, but had not obtained Respondent's signature on the Deed. Further,
Petitioner had refinanced not sufficient funds to pay Respondent for her interest in the
marital home, nor had Petitioner's counsel perfected title for the new mortgage
company.
23. Ultimately, the parties appeared before Judge Wesley Oler, and an Order
was entered on December 1, 2003 requiring Petitioner to pay Respondent for her
interest in the home. This Order was incorporated into ,-r 3.4 of the parties' Marital
Settlement Agreement.
24. Petitioner ultimately made all payments associated with this Agreement,
and requested Respondent's execution on the Deed.
25. Given the multiple filings for Motions to Compel Discovery, Motions for
Special Relief, Contempt Petitions, and Motions to Enforce Court Orders, and for the
deception which occurred regarding the parties' marital home, it was reasonable for
Respondent to require a bring-down on the property prior to execution of the Deed.
When such request was met with resistance from Petitioner and Petitioner's counsel,
Respondent promptly obtained a bring-down on her own behalf and executed the Deed
upon proof that title and her credit were clear.
26. It should be further noted that Respondent's Petition for Civil Contempt
and Order crossed in the mail with the executed Deed.
5
27. Respondent's counsel contacted Petitioner's counsel on repeated
occasions requesting the withdrawal of the Petition for Civil Contempt, given that the
underlying request had been met concurrently with the filing of the Petition. Petitioner
would not agree to withdraw the Petition.
28. It is clear through the history of this case that Respondent incurred
significant attorneys' fees and costs based on Petitioner's non-compliance with the
Rules of Civil Procedure or with Court Orders. It is also clear that Petitioner and his
counsel engaged in deceptive practices and deliberately concealed such actions from
Respondent. Respondent sought to protect her interests by assuring that her credit and
the title to the home were clear prior to executing the Deed, and as such should not be
charged with contempt nor be responsible for any fees and costs associated with this
matter.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to dismiss the Petition
for Civil Contempt.
