ANSWER TO PETITION FOR BIFURCATION/RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
AND NOW comes Respondent Debra Lea Walls by and through her
attorney, Ronald L. Chicka and files this Answer to Petition for Bifurcation/Rule to
Show Cause averring as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted,
3, Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5, Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without sufficient
information to form a belief as to the truth of the averments in
paragraph #7. By way of further answer, Respondent has learned that
it would cost more than $400 per month to secure hospitalization
coverage equivalent to that coverage which she now enjoys that
Petitioner provides through his employment
1
" - ~-
'.
8. Admitted.
9. Denied and to the contrary the Petitioner has been unreasonable in
attempting to settle this divorce action. Specifically, the parties marital
residence was sold on July 31, 2000, and deducted from the proceeds
of the sale was $4,779.23 which sum represented monies that
Petitioner owed to Respondent as a result of Petitioner being in arrears
on his support order. (A copy of the HUD settlement statement is
attached hereto, marked exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by
reference.) Were it not for said monies being deducted for Petitioner's
support arrearages, the parties would have received $9,332.36 rather
than the $4,553.13 that is currently being held in Respondent's
attorney's trustee account. Despite the obviousness that Respondent
should receive the balance of the money from the sale of the house,
Petitioner disagrees as per letter from his counsel dated October 20,
2001. (A copy of said letter is attached hereto, marked exhibit "8" and
incorporated herein by reference.) It is believed and therefore averred
that Petitioner will continue to delay the final resolution by making
unreasonable demands and that this divorce action would never be
completed due to the prohibitive cost of having a master appointed.
10. Denied and by way of further answer refer to answer to paragraph #9.
11. Petitioner, as a result of his arrearages being paid through the
proceeds from the sale of the marital residence, has already received
that to which he is entitled, Respondent has not. As a result, Petitioner
2
'\ ',"-
",-.y, ..___'_~L_ .' "_,'"
, _,'" 1~ , '" ,.-,~
.
"
will continue to obstruct and delay in reaching a settlement in this
matter which prolongs an unequal economic status quo.
Additionally, and more importantly, there exists a current spousal
support order in which Petitioner is ordered not only to provide
hospitalization coverage for Respondent but is also ordered to pay
spousal support to Respondent in the amount of $593.00 per month,
which will cease upon entry of a divorce decree. (A copy of the order
dated May 11, 2000 is attached hereto, marked exhibit "C" and
incorporated herein by reference.
12. (i) It is denied that a speedy resolution of the divorce would allow the
parties to restructure their personal lives. To the contrary, a
bifurcation of this divorce action would ultimately delay and
possibly prevent a final resolution.
(Ii) Respondent does not understand the averments of paragraph
#12(ii) therefore the same is denied and strict proof thereof is
demanded at trial.
(iii) It is denied that the bifurcation takes into primary consideration
of the welfare of the family rather than the vindication of private
rights. Clearly, the Petitioner has not negotiated or attempted to
negotiate the end of his divorce in a fair manner. It is believed
and therefore averred that Petitioner is merely attempting to
prevent Respondent from receiving that to which she is
obviously entitled.
3
,-' ~,' ' -
..<-. - ,
-1-'- -
(iv) It is denied that the parties' personal lives are being held
hostage to economic demands.
To the contrary, the
Respondent is entitled to the proceeds from the sale of the
marital residence as above described and Petitioner is holding
Respondent hostage to Petitioner's economic demands.
(v) Denied and to the contrary, a bifurcation would certainly
diminish or impair Respondent's economic claims under the
divorce code as then it would become necessary for
Respondent to have a master appointed and to be responsible
for the cost of a master's hearing when all parties involved and
their attorneys recognize that Respondent is entitled to the
sums of money being held by Respondent's attorney. (In
addition to the house proceeds, Counsel for Respondent is
holding an additional $3,791.00 in his trustee account which
sum represents the parties income tax refund.)
WHEREFORE, Respondent prays that the Petition for Bifurcation be denied and
that Petitioner be ordered to pay Respondent's attorney's fees,
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

RE: Walls v. Walls
Dear Mr, Chicka:
After reviewing the changes proposed by Mrs, Walls, Mr. Walls has
several additional changes to be made to the proposed stipulations,
Paragraph #4:
Mr. Walls is willing to give Mrs, Walls Y:z the value of the swing set, only on the
condition that he be reimbursed for half the value of items Mrs, Walls removed
from the marital home, The items are as follows:
Stereo turntable system
Camcorder
8 Track tape system, plus tapes
Refrigerator
Washer
Air conditioner
Two hutcheS
27" television
Entertainment center
Sofa, loveseat, chair & end tables

-1,000,00
$2,450.00
Paragraph #6:
Mr. Walls has provided a copy of Form 00214, He has indicated that Block 18
indicating any benefits is blank thus he is not entitled to any benefits,

:~"'"
.., ~
,--'
"
Paragraph #10:
Mr. Walls will not agree to change the $300,00, The couple's minor children
reside with her mother, so Mr. Walls does not believe that they prevent her from
seeking adequate employment. Moreover, she is currently a full-time student at
Indiana University of PA and will be graduating in February, Her degree will
provide an advantage allowing her to obtain more lucrative employment.
We will not agree that alimony be terminated only upon the wife's remarriage or
death, If the language "involvement in a meretricious relationship" is not
agreeable, we can modify it to include "co-habitation" or limit alimony payments
to a term of years,
Regarding the money you are holding in the trust account, Mr. Walls believes
that he is entitled to half, $4,046,33,
Mr. Walls will not agree to pay Mrs, Walls' attorneys fees.
I look forward to your response.
Very truly yours,

IN DIVORCE
PETITION FOR BIFURCATION
AND NOW, COMES, Petitioner, Darrin John Walls, by and through his undersigned
counsel, and respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant the Petition for Bifurcation,
and in support thereof avers as follows:
L Petitioner is Darrin John Walls, the Plaintiff in the above-captioned divorce action,
2, Respondent is Debra Lea Walls, the Defendant in the above captioned divorce action,
3. Petitioner and Respondent were married on October 18, 1986, in Dayton, Armstrong
County, Pennsylvania. They have (3) three children under the age of eighteen (18).
4, On or about March 3, 2000, Petitioner commenced a divorce action by filing a Complaint
in Divorce as ofthe above docket number.
5. On or about May 1,2000, Defendant filed an Answer and Counterclaim to the Complaint
in Divorce seeking, inter alia, equitable distribution of marital property, custody, alimony/
alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs and expenses,
cO
~.
~--
6, Both parties are in good health and there is little likelihood of a shortened lifespan.
7. Petitioner agrees to keep all insurance policies in effect in order to cover all persons he
was directed to insure by the Court.
8. Based upon the economic status ofthe parties, there is no likelihood that either will file
for bankruptcy,
9, Neither party's property rights would be affected in any way by a bifurcation of the
divorce from the pending economic issues.
10. The parties have maintained an economic status quo during the separation that Petitioner
has no intention of disturbing,
11 , Bifurcation would not disturb that economic status quo.
12. Petitioner believes and avers that the advantages of bifurcation of this divorce action are
substantially greater than the disadvantages for the following reasons:
(i) A speedy resolution ofthe divorce issue would allow the parties
to restructure their personal lives,
(ii) Bifurcation will accelerate the dissolution ofthe parties'
which is clearly irretrievably broken.
(iii) Bifurcation will further the policy behind Pennsylvania's Divorce Code in
making the legal dissolution of marriage effective for dealing with the reality of
matrimonial experience by taking into primary consideration the welfare of the
family rather than the vindication of private rights, 23 Pa, C,SA 3102 (a).
(iv) Bifurcation of this divorce action will also separate the
.'0;
~
dissolution from the distribution of property so that the marriage
and each party's personal life are not held hostage to economic
demands,
(v) Bifurcation of the divorce action will in no way prejudice,
diminish or impair Respondent's economic claims under the
Divorce Code,
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court grant his Petition for
Bifurcation, reserving jurisdiction on the economic claims raised by the parties,
