JOHN E. DES LAURIER,
Plaintiff
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEA OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Vs.
NO. 00 . 1822 CIVIL
MARl VANGI DES LAURIER,
Defendant
IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER:
Today is Wednesday, January 30,
2002.
This is the date set for a hearing to take
testimony on the date of separation of the parties. The
Master has been advised, however, that counsel and the
parties have reached an agreement with respect to all of
the outstanding economic issues and wish to proceed with a
statement of the agreement on the record and ultimately
conclude the divorce by the signing and filing of
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree.
The divorce action was initiated by complaint
filed on March 24, 2000.
The complaint raised grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage; no
economic claims were raised in the complaint.
On January 16, 2001, the Defendant filed a
petition for alimony pendente lite; on October 8, 2001, the
Plaintiff filed an amended complaint raising the economic
claim of equitable distribution; on October 18, 2001 the
Defendant filed a counterclaim raising the economic claim
of alimony.
No claims have been raised in the action for
1
"'-~ ,
F
.
counsel fees and costs.
The parties were married by acknowledging a
common.law marriage pursuant to an affidavit dated July 2,
1998, and signed by both parties. The affidavit was sworn
to and subscribed before a notary public on July 2, 1998.
Pursuant to the affidavit, the date of the affidavit is the
date of the marriage of the parties. The affidavit is
made a part of these proceedings. The affidavit is in the
Master's file but has not been clocked in or filed with the
Prothonotary.
There was an issue that was raised at the
conference on December 11, 2001, regarding the date of
separation. Husband averred that the date of separation
was November 5, 1999, and wife averred the date of
separation was March 31, 2000. Counsel have indicated
that they do not believe that it is necessary that we
specifically arrive at a date of separation inasmuch as the
economic issues have been resolved and the date of
separation will not be relevant to determining valuations
in the case.
An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties. The agreement as
stated on the record will be considered the substantive
agreement of the parties not subject to any changes or
modifications except for correction of typographical errors
2
. -- . ~- 'I,"
-
which may be made during the transcription. The agreement
as placed on the record will be transcribed and then will
be sent to counsel and the parties to review for
typographical errors, any corrections of typographical
errors will be made, and then the agreement will be
presented to the parties and counsel for signature. The
purpose of signing the agreement will be to affirm the
terms of settlement as stated on the record. It is
specifically noted, however, that when the parties leave
the hearing room today, even though there is not a
subsequent signing by the parties to affirm the terms of
settlement, they are bound by the terms of the agreement as
stated on the record at this time.
Upon receipt by the Master of the completed
agreement from counsel, the Master will prepare an order
vacating his appointment and counsel will then be in a
position to file a praecipe transmitting the record to the
Court requesting a final decree in divorce.
As previously noted, the parties are going
to obtain the divorce under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic
Relations Code. Counsel are charged with filing the
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree within seven (7) days of
today's date. Mr. Miller.
MR. MILLER:

,
.
1. Plaintiff agrees to pay to Defendant a lump sum
payment of $3,485.00 in consideration of equitable
distribution claims. Said payment shall be made within
seven (7) days from today's date. Payment will be made by
check made payable to Defendant and delivered to
Defendant's counsel within the specified time period.
2. Plaintiff shall pay COBRA benefits for Defendant for a
period of 19 months. According to the Central
Pennsylvania Teamster Health and Welfare Fund, the current
rate is $303.00 per month. In the event Defendant, through
her employment, is able to obtain insurance at no cost to
her, Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits shall
end. Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits
shall not extend in any event beyond 19 months. To that
end, Plaintiff agrees to provide coverage during the
19.month period even if said amount increases. The
payment obligation and coverage shall commence the date
that Plaintiff provides notice to his employer that the
divorce has been finalized.
3. The parties agree to be responsible for any debts that
are in their name and to that end, agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the other party for any debts that they are
responsible for. Specifically, husband agrees to be solely
responsible for the home equity loan currently against the
property at 445 Ponderosa Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and
hold Defendant harmless from any responsibility or
obligations under that home equity loan.
4.
form
life
The parties agree to waive any
of pension or other retirement
insurance in the other parties
and all claims to any
plans and any form of
name.
5. Defendant agrees to waive any right, title or interest
that she has to the real estate located at 445 Ponderosa
Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and any other real estate in
Plaintiff's name.
6. The parties agree to cancel the current alimony
pendente lite order through Domestic Relations effective
February 1, 2002. In the event any payments are received
by Defendant as a result of wage attachments after February
1, 2002, appropriate credit will be given to Plaintiff.
7. Defendant agrees to deliver to Plaintiff a military
pistol currently in her possession but owned by Plaintiff.
Plaintiff agrees to register said weapon. The parties
have made arrangements for return of the item, which shall
4
:---<-""'~'r" .'
,.,
""""'1"'~
be done no later than ten (10) days from today's date.
Other than the item referenced above, the parties waive any
and all right, title and interest they have to any tangible
personal property in the other person's possession. All
tangible personal property in the possession of either
party shall remain their property.
8. Defendant agrees to withdraw her claim for alimony in
this action.
9. Except as herein otherwise provided, each party may
dispose of his or her property in any way and each party
hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he or she
may now have or hereafter acquire under the present or
future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or
the estate of the other as a result of the marital
relationship including without limitation, statutory
allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to
take against the will of the other, and right to act as
administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will
at the request of the other execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any and all instruments which may be necessary or
advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and
relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.
THE MASTER:
I neglected, when we began the
remarks on the record, to identify who was in the hearing
room at the time that the agreement was to be placed on the
record. Present are the Plaintiff, John E. Des Laurier,
and his counsel Douglas G. Miller, and the Defendant, Mari

PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW, this 24TH day of April, 2002, comes the Plaintiff/Petitioner, John E. Des
Laurier, by and through his attorneys, Irwin, McKnight & Hughes, Esquires, and files this
Petition for Special Relief making the following statements:
1. The Petitioner is John E. Des Laurier, an adult individual residing at 445
Ponderosa Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. The Respondent is Marie V. Des Laurier, an adult individual currently residing at
81 Wertz Run Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
3. On March 21, 2000, Petitioner filed a Complaint in Divorce.
4. On February 26, 2001, an Order of Court was issued directing that Petitioner pay
to Respondent alimony pendente lite in the amount of $1,000.00 per month. A true and correct
copy of said Order of Court is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A."

5. Both parties raised issues in an appeal from said Order of Court and following a
hearing before the Honorable Judge Hess, an Order of Court dated June 11, 2001 was issued
affirming the earlier decision. A true and correct copy of said Order of Court dated June 11,
2001 is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B."
6. On October 8, 2001, Petitioner filed a Motion for Appointment of Master.
7. The Divorce Master scheduled a conference on December 11, 2001 with both the
parties and their counsel present to discuss the outstanding economic issues and to determine if
there was a basis for settlement of claims.
8. Settlement was not reached at said conference and a hearing was scheduled for
January 30, 2002 before the Divorce Master:

9. On January 30, 2002, prior to the commencement of the scheduled hearing, the
parties reached a settlement agreement that was duly read onto the record. A true and correct
copy of the Divorce Master's report and parties' agreement is attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit "C."
10. Paragraph Six of the parties' agreement referenced as Exhibit "c" states that the
current APL Order was to be cancelled effective February 1, 2002, and that any payments
received through wage attachment after that date were to be appropriately credited to Petitioner.
2
:f'

0'.,"'-'''0'_''_'
'__~_'_.=_, _~-'_'_r"__'_
,.,.

...
- -- ,~-
11. Furthermore, on Page 3 of Exhibit "C," the Divorce Master specifically states that
"It is specifically noted. . . that when the parties leave the hearing room today, even though there
is not a subsequent signing by the parties to affirm the terms of settlement, they are bound by the
terms of the agreement as stated on the record at this time."
12. After the agreement was reached on January 30, 2002, Petitioner and his counsel
informed Domestic Relations of the parties' agreement as it related to the current APL Order.
13. Upon information and belief, initially Domestic Relations then began applying
Plaintiff's wage attached sums to an arrearage existing as a result of the appeal of the original
Order of Court attached as Exhibit "A."
14. The parties' agreement does not specifically mention any APL arrears and the
parties were unable to reach an agreement as to the arrears.
15. As the APL arrears were being handled through the continuing wage attachments,
however, Petitioner subsequently signed the agreement as indicated on Exhibit "C."
16. The agreement was then forwarded to Respondent's counsel for signature and
fmalization of the divorce according to the other terms of the agreement.
17. Respondent, by and through her legal counsel, now refuses and continues to
refuse to sign the parties' agreement.

.,.,.,
.' -'--' '-'-'1'
." "-"~-' , - ">7'-"__,~_,_ _ __=7,'
18. The practical result of Respondent's refusal is that Domestic Relations has
reinstated the APL order on the grounds that the agreement has not been signed, and
furthermore, the divorce of the parties cannot be finalized despite Respondent's prior agreement
of record.
19. Respondent has now requested a subsequent hearing before the Divorce Master,
but due to the Divorce Master's schedule and Respondent's vacation to Colorado, that hearing
could not be scheduled until June 4, 2002.
20. This delay is a considerable hardship to Petitioner in that the divorce action
cannot be fmalized and Respondent will continue to receive APL payments despite the parties'
agreement to the contrary.
21. Furthermore, it is doubtful that the issues can now be resolved by the Divorce
Master as Respondent is refusing to sign the agreement already read onto the record before the
Divorce Master, and any issues involving the APL arrears and subsequent payments is
presumably not a matter of equitable distribution.
22. The interests of justice require that the Court grant the Petitioner's requests as set
forth above.

Honorable Court enter an Order of Court terminating the current Order for payment of alimony

alternative direct that any and all future APL payments be placed in escrow pending a final

THE MASTER: Today is wednesday, January 30,
2002.
This is the date set for a hearing to take
testimony on the date of separation of the parties. The
Master has been advised, however, that counsel and the
parties have reached an agreement with respect to all of
the outstanding economic issues and wish to proceed with a
statement of the agreement on the record and ultimately
conclude the divorce by the signing and filing of

counsel fees and costs.
The parties were married by acknowledging a
common-law marriage pursuant to an affidavit dated July 2,
1998, and signed by both parties.
The affidavit was sworn
to and subscribed before a notary public on July 2, 1998.
Pursuant to the affidavit, the date of the affidavit is the
date of the marriage of the parties. The affidavit is
made a part of these proceedings. The affidavit is in the
Master's file but has not been clocked in or filed with the
Prothonotary.
There was an issue that was raised at the
conference on December 11, 2001, regarding the date of
separation. Husband averred that the date of separation
was November 5, 1999, and wife averred the date of
separation was March 31, 2000.
Counsel have indicated
that they do not believe that it is necessary that we
specifically arrive at a date of separation inasmuch as the
economic issues have been resolved and the date of
separation will not be relevant to determining valuations
in the case.
An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties.
The agreement as
stated on the record will be considered the substantive
agreement of the parties not subject to any changes or
modifications except for correction of typographical errors
2
-- -~
,
.
which may be made during the transcription. The agreement
as placed on the record will be transcribed and then will
be sent to counsel and the parties to review for
typographical errors, any corrections of typographical
errors will be made, and then the agreement will be
presented to the parties and counsel for signature. The
purpose of signing the agreement will be to affirm the
terms of settlement as stated on the record. It is
specifically noted, however, that when the parties leave
the hearing room today, even though there is not a
subsequent signing by the parties to affirm the terms of
settlement, they are bound by the terms of the agreement as
stated on the record at this time.
Upon receipt by the Master of the completed
agreement from counsel, the Master will prepare an order
vacating his appointment and counsel will then be in a
position to file a praecipe transmitting the record to the
Court requesting a final decree in divorce.
As previously noted, the parties are going
to obtain the divorce under Section 330l(c) of the Domestic
Relations Code. Counsel are charged with filing the
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree within seven (7) days of
today's date. Mr. Miller.
MR. MILLER:

1. plaintiff agrees to pay to Defendant a lump sum
payment of $3,485.00 in consideration of equitable
distribution claims. Said payment shall be made within
seven (7) days from today's date. Payment will be made by
check made payable to Defendant and delivered to
Defendant's counsel within the specified time period.
2. plaintiff shall pay COBRA benefits for Defendant for a
period of 19 months. According to the Central
Pennsylvania Teamster Health and Welfare Fund, the current
rate is $303.00 per month. In the event Defendant, through
her employment, is able to obtain insurance at no cost to
her, Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits shall
end. Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits
shall not extend in any event beyond 19 months. To that
end, Plaintiff agrees to provide coverage during the
19-month period even if said amount increases. The
payment obligation and coverage shall commence the date
that plaintiff provides notice to his employer that the
divorce has been finalized.
3. The parties agree to be responsible for any debts that
are in their name and to that end, agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the other party for any debts that they are
responsible for. Specifically, husband agrees to be solely
responsible for the home equity loan currently against the
property at 445 ponderosa Road, Carlisle, pennsylvania, and
hold Defendant harmless from any responsibility or
obligations under that home equity loan.
4.
fom

The parties agree to waive any
of pension or other retirement
insurance in the other parties
and all claims to any
plans and any fom of
name.
5. Defendant agrees to waive any right, title or interest
that she has to the real estate located at 445 Ponderosa
Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and any other real estate in
Plaintiff's name.
6. The parties agree to cancel the current alimony
pendente lite order through Domestic Relations effective
February 1, 2002. In the event any payments are received
by Defendant as a result of wage attachments after February
1, 2002, appropriate credit will be given to Plaintiff.
7. Defendant agrees to deliver to Plaintiff a military
pistol currently in her possession but owned by Plaintiff.
Plaintiff agrees to register said weapon. The parties
have made arrangements for return of the item, which shall
4
,
.~ ,.,.,
be done no later than ten (10) days from today's date.
Other than the item referenced above, the parties waive any
and all right, title and interest they have to any tangible
personal property in the other person's possession. All
tangible personal property in the possession of either
party shall remain their property.
8. Defendant agrees to withdraw her claim for alimony in
this action.
9. Except as herein otherwise provided, each party may
dispose of his or her property in any way and each party
hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he or she
may now have or hereafter acqui,-e under the present or
future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or
the estate of the other as a result of the marital
relationship including without limitation, statutory
allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to
take against the will of the other, and right to act as
administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will
at the request of the other execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any and all instruments which may be necessary or
advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and
relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.
THE MA9TER:
I neglected, when we began the
remarks on the record, to identify who was in the hearing
room at the time that the agreement was to be placed on the
record. Present are the Plaintiff, John E. Des Laurier,

Vangi Des Laurier, and her counsel Michael A. Scherer.

presence and their understanding of the agreement. Mr.

Plaintiff
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEA OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Vs.
NO. 00 - 1822 CIVIL
MARl VANGI DES LAURIER,
Defendant
IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER:
Today is Wednesday, January 30,
2002.
This is the date set for a hearing to take
testimony on the date of separation of the parties. The
Master has been advised, however, that counsel and the
parties have reached an agreement with respect to all of
the outstanding economic issues and wish to proceed with a
statement of the agreement on the record and ultimately
conclude the divorce by the signing and filing of
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree.
The divorce action was initiated by complaint
filed on March 24, 2000.
The complaint raised grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage; no
economic claims were raised in the complaint.
On January 16, 2001, the Defendant filed a
petition for alimony pendente lite; on October 8, 2001, the
Plaintiff filed an amended complaint raising the economic
claim of equitable distribution; on October 18, 2001 the
Defendant filed a counterclaim raising the economic claim
of alimony.
No claims have been raised in the action for
1
-" ~', ---
counsel fees and costs.
The parties were married by acknowledging a
common-law marriage pursuant to an affidavit dated July 2,
1998, and signed by both parties. The affidavit was sworn
to and subscribed before a notary public on July 2, 1998.
Pursuant to the affidavit, the date of the affidavit is the
date of the marriage of the parties. The affidavit is
made a part of these proceedings. The affidavit is in the
Master's file but has not been clocked in or filed with the
Prothonotary.
There was an issue that was raised at the
conference on December 11, 2001, regarding the date of
separation. Husband averred that the date of separation
was November 5, 1999, and wife averred the date of
separation was March 31, 2000. Counsel have indicated
that they do not believe that it is necessary that we
specifically arrive at a date of separation inasmuch as the
economic issues have been resolved and the date of
separation will not be relevant to determining valuations
in the case.
An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties. The agreement as
stated on the record will be considered the substantive
agreement of the parties not subject to any changes or
modifications except for correction of typographical errors
2
:"D
-'. ~.
which may be made during the transcription. The agreement
as placed on the record will be transcribed and then will
be sent to counsel and the parties to review for
typographical errors, any corrections of typographical
errors will be made, and then the agreement will be
presented to the parties and counsel for signature. The
purpose of signing the agreement will be to affirm the
terms of settlement as stated on the record. It is
specifically noted, however, that when the parties leave
the hearing room today, even though there is not a
subsequent signing by the parties to affirm the terms of
settlement, they are bound by the terms of the agreement as
stated on the record at this time.
Upon receipt by the Master of the completed
agreement from counsel, the Master will prepare an order
vacating his appointment and counsel will then be in a
position to file a praecipe transmitting the record to the
Court requesting a final decree in divorce.
As previously noted, the parties are going
to obtain the divorce under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic
Relations Code. Counsel are charged with filing the
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree within seven (7) days of
today's date. Mr. Miller.
MR. MILLER:

1. plaintiff agrees to pay to Defendant a lump sum
payment of $3,485.00 in consideration of equitable
distribution claims. Said payment shall be made within
seven (7) days from today's date. Payment will be made by
check made payable to Defendant and delivered to
Defendant's counsel within the specified time period.
2. Plaintiff shall pay COBRA benefits for Defendant for a
period of 19 months. According to the Central
Pennsylvania Teamster Health and Welfare Fund, the current
rate is $303.00 per month. In the event Defendant, through
her employment, is able to obtain insurance at no cost to
her, Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits shall
end. plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits
shall not extend in any event beyond 19 months. To that
end, Plaintiff agrees to provide coverage during the
19-month period even if said amount increases. The
payment obligation and coverage shall commence the date
that Plaintiff provides notice to his employer that the
divorce has been finalized.

The parties agree to waive any and all claims to any
of pension or other retirement plans and any form of
insurance in the other parties name.
5. Defendant agrees to waive any right, title or interest
that she has to the real estate located at 445 ponderosa
Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and any other real estate in
Plaintiff's name.
6. The parties agree to cancel the current alimony
pendente lite order through Domestic Relations effective
February 1, 2002. In the event any payments are received
by Defendant as a result of wage attachments after February
1, 2002, appropriate credit will be given to Plaintiff.
7. Defendant agrees to deliver to Plaintiff a military
pistol currently in her possession but owned by Plaintiff.
Plaintiff agrees to register said weapon. The parties
have made arrangements for return of the item, which shall

Other than the item referenced above, the parties waive any
and all right, title and interest they have to any tangible
personal property in the other person's possession. All
tangible personal property in the possession of either
party shall remain their property.
8. Defendant agrees to withdraw her claim for alimony in
this action.
9. Except as herein otherwise provided, each party may
dispose of his or her property in any way and each party
hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he or she
may now have or hereafter acquire under the present or
future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or
the estate of the other as a result of the marital
relationship including without limitation, statutory
allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to
take against the will of the other, and right to act as
administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will
at the request of the other execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any and all instruments which may be necessary or
advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and
relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.

RE: DES LAURlER v. DES LAURlER
No. 00 - 1822, In Divorce
Dear Mr. Elicker:
I have instructed my client to execute the Agreement dictated in your office on January
30, 2002, and will then be forwarding the same to Attorney Scherer for his client's signature. In
response to ,his correspondence dated February 22, 2002, there is a dispute between the parties as
to AJ.>L,aqears aiid whether orIiot they were affected by the agreement of the parties. However,
Ibeliey.e.fuat the issue of APL arrears must be handled through Domestic Relations. Therefore, I
belieVe 'that scheduling another hearing in this matter is not necessary where the parties have
reached an agreement as to all issues before you.
I have also enclosed payment to Traci Colyer in the amount of $12.50, to cover my
client's portion of the transcription fee.
In the event you have any questions or concerns with regard to the above, please do not
hesitate to contact the undersigned.

9 North Hanover Street

RE: Des Laurier v. Des Laurier
Dear Mr. Elicker:
Mr. Des Laurier has indicated that it was his understanding that the APL arrears
of approximately $3,000.00 were to be satisfied as a result of the Agreement we
attempted to reach in your office on January 30, 2002. My client did not intend to
forgive the arrears by virtue of the attempted Agreement. Since Mr. Des Laurier is
relying on the Agreement to satisfy the arrears, obviously the Agreement is lacking in
an essential term and therefore the Agreement is unenforceable. As such, I believe a
new hearing should be scheduled in your office to proceed with this case.
Mr. Des Laurier has not paid the $3,485.00 required by paragraph 1 of the
Agreement and this has delayed my client's plans. I don't believe Mr. Des Laurier can
expect the Agreement to be enforceable when he has not complied with it.
Further, it is inconceivable to me that my client would have negotiated to receive
a $3,485.00 payment from Mr. Des Laurier under paragraph 1 of the Agreement when
that was the approximate amount of the APL arrears and that is what she would have
been entitled to without negotiating for anything.
The present dispute is going to require additional court intervention and the
passage of time is going to further complicate the attempted Agreement and it is my
position that its unfair to try hold my client accountable for some terms of the
Agreement while Mr. Des Laurier hasn't complied with other terms of the Agreement.

RE: DES LAURIER v. DES LAURIER
No. 00 -1822, In Divorce
Dear Mr. Elicker:
After discussing the matter with my client, he is willing to concede the validity of the
Common Law Marriage Affidavit signed by the parties on July 2, 1998, and agree to use that
date as the commencement of the marriage relationship. I have enclosed a copy of the document
for your reference.
I wouia' therefore request that we proceed with addressing the date of separation issue and
economic claims.' .
I have sent a copy of this correspondence to Attorney Scherer and trust that he does not
have an objection to this proposal. I look forward to your office's reply.
Very truly yours,
IRWIN, McKNIGHT & HUGHES

RE: John E. Des Laurier vs. Mari Vangi Des Laurier
No. 00 - 1822 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Miller and Mr. Scherer:
1 received a letter from Mr. Scherer dated October 22, 2001, in response to my
letter to counsel of October 19,2001. Although Mr. Scherer's response essentially deals
with the request that he needs more time to review the file with his client, nevertheless,
Mr. Miller has not responded. If counsel review my letter of October 19, 2001, they will
see that my inquiry basically dealt with how we are going to proceed with the common-
law marriage issue if that issue is to be litigated. Consequently, I am writing to request
that counsel direct their response to me regarding the common-law marriage issue and
procedure. Once that matter has been resolved, either through agreement or hearing, then
we will decide how we will proceed with regard to the pending economic claims, pretrial
statements, conferences, etc.
Very truly yours,
E. Robert Elicker, II

RE: John E. Des Laurier vs. Mari Vangi Des Laurier
No. 00 . 1822 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Miller and Mr. Scherer:
Although there is some issue between counsel about how much time is
needed to complete discovery, nevertheless, I think we have an issue that
needs to be addressed first and that is the existence of the aLLeged common-
law marriage. Consequently, I am addressing that issue in this letter to ask
counsel to determine whether they want to have the matter of the common-
law marriage heard by one of the judges; (that was recently done by Judge
Guido, I believe), or whether you want to have the matter heard here in the
Master's proceedings. I have heard common-law marriage issues previously and
on occasion I believe, a judge has heard the issue.
I would request that counsel address the procedure that they want to
foLLow with regard to the common-law marriage issue. If the matter is to be
heard by me, then we need to schedule a hearing on that issue before we get
into any economic issues in the case. I would ask that you contact me
regarding your intentions as to how to proceed. If we are going to proceed in
this office, I would require that you each provide me a list of witnesses that
you are going to present and that list also should be shared with opposing
counsel.

I will look forward to hearing from counsel regarding the common-law
marriage issue promptly so we know how we should proceed. After the
common-law marriage issue has been resolved either with me or one of the
judges, we will then begin to address the economic claim pending.
Very truly yours,

RE: Des Laurier v. Des Laurier
No. 2000-1822 Civil Term
In Divorce
Dear Messrs Miller and Elicker:
I am in receipt of Douglas' October 18, 2001 letter.
Prior counsel may have discussed the issues of the date of separation, existence
of common law marriage and assets and liabilities, but I am not familiar with all of these
issues. My client reported to me when I met with her that the date of separation was
approximately March 31, 2000. This means she would not be forced to consent to a
divorce prior to March 31, 2002. As such, I don't believe the time I have requested to
get familiar with the case is unreasonable. My client's former attorney, Sam Milkes, left
the private practice of law and as such, my client was forced to hire new counsel.
Therefore, she is not intentionally delaying the case.
Very truly yours,
O'BRIEN, BARIC & SCHERER

Enclosed please find my Certification regarding discovery in the above-captioned
matter.
I am attempting to locate Sam Milkes' mailing address so that he can sign a
Withdraw of Appearance.
I will review the case in the coming weeks to determine what, if any, discovery I
may need. I am also preparing an Answer and Counterclaim wherein I will be making a
request for the defendant to receive alimony.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

RE: DES LAURlER v. DES LAURIER
No. 00 - 1822, In Divorce
Dear Mr. Elicker:
Enclosed herewith please fmd the requested certification executed on behalf of the
Plaintiff in the above-referenced matter.
In response to the statements provided by the Defendant's new legal counsel, Michael A.
Scherer, Esquire, I would dispute that this matter needs to be delayed until December 15,2001.
While certainly time should be given for Attorney Scherer to obtain and review the file, I would
submit that the respective positions of the parties with regard to date of separation, existence of
common law marriage, and assets and liabilities have already been discussed between prior
counsel for both parties. I believe that further delay is therefore unnecessary and will only serve
to increase the APL being paid to Defendant.
I would therefore request that pretrial matters be scheduled as soon as possible.
Very truly yours,
IRWIN, McKNIGHT & HUGHES

RE: Des Laurier v, Des Laurier
Dear Mr. Elicker:
I have reviewed the transcription of the Agreement you forwarded to me recently
in the above-captioned matter.
The only matter which the Agreement does not address are alimony pendente
lite arrears which my client informs me exist in this case, Although paragraph 6 states
that the APL Order is to terminate February 1, 2002, my understanding would be that
any arrears on that obligation would continue to be collected until paid in full.
Otherwise, the Agreement appears acceptable to me and I will have my client
sign it when forwarded to me. Also enclosed is Traci's payment in the amount of
$12,50,
Very truly yours,

Dear Michael:
Enclosed please find the original agreement from the Divorce Master conference, which has been
executed by my client. Please have your client execute the agreement and forward the original to the
Divorce Master's office and a copy of the executed agreement to my attention. Please also either file
your client's affidavits and consents or forward the same to me for recording. Once I am in receipt of the
agreement and either the original affidavits and consents or notice .of their filing, I will forward the check
in the amount of $3,485.00 to your attention, Please advise as to whom I should make the check payable,
I am also recently in receipt of your correspondence to the Divorce Master dated March 15,2002,
I certainly disagree with you as to the need for another hearing before the Divorce Master. As we have
already discussed, my client is willing to attempt to resolve the arrearage issue, potentially by making a
second lump sum payment, if your client will be reasonable in working out a settlement. To that end, I
believe we should determine both the amount of funds being held by Domestic Relations since February
1, 2002 and the exact arrearage amount In the event your client is not willing to be reasonable in this
matter, it is my opinion that this is a matter to be addressed by Domestic Relations and not the Divorce
Master, '
In the event you have any questions or concerns with the above, or in the event your client is
willing to offer a resolution to this matter, please contact me, Otherwise, I trust you will be forwarding
the documents as requested above, Please note that I am forwarding a copy of this correspondence to the
Divorce Master for his reference.
Very truly yours,
IRWIN, McKNIGHT & HUGHES

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEA OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Vs.
NO. 00 - 1822 CIVIL
MARl VANGI DES LAURIER,
Defendant
CO,oy
IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: Today is Wednesday, January 30,
2002.
This is the date set for a hearing to take
testimony on the date of separation of the parties. The
Master has been advised, however, that counsel and the
parties have reached an agreement with respect to all of
the outstanding economic issues and wish to proceed with a
statement of the agreement on the record and ultimately
conclude the divorce by the signing and filing of
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree.
The divorce action was initiated by complaint
filed on March 24, 2000.
The complaint raised grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage; no
economic claims were raised in the complaint.
On January 16, 2001, the Defendant filed a
petition for alimony pendente lite; on October 8, 2001, the
Plaintiff filed an amended complaint raising the economic
claim of equitable distribution; on October 18, 2001 the
Defendant filed a counterclaim raising the economic claim
of alimony.
No claims have been raised in the action for
1
"
..
counsel fees and costs.
The parties were married by acknowledging a
common-law marriage pursuant to an affidavit dated July 2,
1998, and signed by both parties.
The affidavit was sworn
to and subscribed before a notary public on July 2, 1998.
Pursuant to the affidavit, the date of the affidavit is the
date of the marriage of the parties.
The affidavit is
made a part of these proceedings.
The affidavit is in the
Master's file but has not been clocked in or filed with the
Prothonotary.
There was an issue that was raised at the
conference on December 11, 2001, regarding the date of
separation. Husband averred that the date of separation
was November 5, 1999, and wife averred the date of
separation was Marc~ 31, 2000. Counsel have indicated
that they do not believe that it is necessary that we
specifically arrive at a date of separation inasmuch as the
economic issues have been resolved and the date of
separation will not be relevant to determining valuations
in the case.
An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties. The agreement as
stated on the record will be considered the substantive
agreement of the parties not subject to any changes or
modifications except for correction of typographical errors
2
-~,~
~
which may be made during the transcription. The agreement
as placed on the record will be transcribed and then will
be sent to counsel and the parties to review for
typographical errors, any corrections of typographical
errors will be made, and then the agreement will be
presented to the parties and counsel for signature. The
purpose of signing the agreement will be to affirm the
terms of settlement as stated on the record. It is
specificallY noted, however, that when the parties leave
the hearing room today, even though there is not a
subsequent signing by the parties to affirm the terms of
settlement, they are bound by the terms of the agreement as
stated on the record at this time.
Upon receipt by the Master of the completed
agreement from counsel, the Master will prepare an order,
vacating his appointment and counsel will then be in a
position to file a praecipe transmitting the record to the
Court requesting a final decree in divorce.
As previously noted, the parties are going
to obtain the divorce under Section 330l(c) of the Domestic
Relations Code. Counsel are charged with filing the
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree within seven (7) days of
today's date. Mr. Miller.

1. Plaintiff agrees to pay to Defendant a lump sum
payment of $3,485.00 in consideration of equitable
distribution claims. Said payment shall be made within
seven (7) days from today's date. Payment will be made by
check made payable to Defendant and delivered to
Defendant's counsel within the specified time period.
2. plaintiff shall pay COBRA benefits for Defendant for a
period of 19 months. According to the Central
Pennsylvania Teamster Health and Welfare Fund, the current

her employment, is able to obtain insurance at no cost to
her, Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits shall
end. Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits
shall not extend in any event beyond 19 months. To that
end, plaintiff agrees to provide coverage during the
19-month period even if said amount increases. The
payment obligation and coverage shall commence the date
that plaintiff provides notice to his employer that the
divorce has been finalized.
3. The parties agree to be responsible for any debts that
are in their name and to that end, agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the other party for any debts that they are
responsible for. Specifically, husband agrees to be solely
responsible for the home equity loan currently against the
property at 445 ponderosa Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and
hold Defendant harm~ess from any responsibility or
obligations under that home equity loan.

ATTACHMENT
Plaintiff and Defendant reached an agreement on January 30, 2002, at a Divorce Master's
Hearing scheduled in the above referenced action, The parties specifically agreed, as noted in
Paragraph 6 of the Master's Report, to cancel the current APL Order as of February I, 2002.
The Master's Report on page 3 further states that: "It is specifically noted, however, that when
the parties leave the hearing room today, even though there is not a subsequent signing by the
parties to affirm the terms of settlement, they are bound by the terms of the agreement as stated
on the record at this time." The agreement has been signed by Defendant and forwarded to
Plaintiff who has failed and refused to sign the same, Plaintiff has requested another hearing
before the Divorce Master which is not scheduled until June 4, 2002, because of the Master's
schedule and Plaintiffs vacation to Colorado, This delay will be a considerable hardship for
Defendant and will delay fmalization of the divorce as well as allow Mrs. DeLaurier to continue
to receive APL payments despite their agreement to the contrary,

NEW MATTER
23, After the parties attempted to reach an Agreement on January 30, 2002, it
came to undersigned counsel's attention that the Petitioner owed the Respondent
approximately $3,000,00 in APL arrears, which the Agreement does not address.
24, Undersigned counsel promptly contacted counsel for the Petitioner to
make certain that it was Petitioner's understanding that the support arrears would be
paid in full by Petitioner through a wage attachment in addition to the other obligations
set forth in the Agreement the parties attempted to reach,
25, Petitioner's counsel informed undersigned counsel that Petitioner did not
intend to pay the support arrears in addition to the other obligations in the Agreement,
which is set forth in a letter from Petitioner's counsel dated February 15, 2002, and is
attached as "Exhibit A"
26, Undersigned counsel then learned that Petitioner had directed the
Domestic Relations Office to stop charging the Respondent for APL and further to
discontinue the wage attachment against Petitioner. Without the wage attachment
against Petitioner, Respondent would not be in a position to collect the APL arrears
which she believes are due her.
27, Undersigned counsel thereafter contacted Domestic Relations and
indicated that undersigned counsel does not believe that there is a complete
Agreement and that Respondent therefore refused to sign the written Agreement and
thereafter Domestic Relations began re-charging Petitioner for APL and re-initiated the
wage attachment against Petitioner.
"---~-'''' .
.', _'._. ~. R"'_--,,-..,<<:,,_-~..--. , _"_._,,, " ~~
,<
",-,
28, In late March or April, 2002, Petitioner's counsel advised undersigned
counsel that Petitioner now took the position that he is agreeable to pay the support
arrears but he wants the payments made since January 30, 2002, to be applied to APL
arrears only and not actual APL despite the fact that the parties have remained married
during the period in question and despite the fact of Petitioner's initial refusal to agree
to pay the arrears was what caused this delay,
29, Had Petitioner simply agreed to pay the arrears which he owed
Respondent on January 30, 2002, this delay would not have occurred and since
Petitioner is now agreeing that he will be responsible to pay the arrears, the delay
occasioned by Petitioner's actions have caused the damages Petitioner cites in his
Petition For Special Relief.
30, The Divorce Master has been appointed in this matter.
31, The appointment of the Divorce Master in this matter has not been
vacated,
32, The Divorce Master has convened a conference for June 4, 2002 to
address the exact matter raised in Petitioner's Petition For Special Relief.
33, Respondent is willing to sign the Agreement in question provided
Petitioner agrees to continue to pay the full amount of the arrears owed as is indicated
at the Domestic Relations Office through a wage attachment.

RE: DESLAURIER v. DESLAURIER
No. 00 - 1822, In Divorce
Dear Michael:
. In response to your correspondence of February 14, 2002, my recollection is that during
our discussions we had referenced the issue regarding when the APL award should have started
and how that issue was not explicitly addressed by Judge Hess. Furthermore, the draft
agreement through the Divorce Master states that the APL order through Domestic Relations
would be cancelled effective February I, 2002. As this was to be a comprehensive settlement of
the issues, it was my understanding that any arrearage was being waived,
It is my further understanding that this was part of the reason for Mr. Des Laurier's
agreement to provide an initial lump sum payment. I do not believe he would have agreed to pay
$3,485.00 up front and then agree to pay the arrearage on top of that as well.
I will be contacting my client to further discuss this matter, but I do not believe that your
client's position that she is entitled to both figures will be acceptable. As I had also mentioned to
you, I am holding my client's payment of $3,485.00. Please contact me in the event you have
any questions with regard to the above, or in the event your client has another proposal.
Very truly yours,
IRWIN, McKNIGHT & HUGHES

JOHN E. DES LAURIER,
Plaintiff
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEA OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Vs.
NO. 00 - 1822 CIVIL
MARl VANGI DES LAURIER,
Defendant
IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER:
Today is Wednesday, January 30,
2002.
This is the date set for a hearing to take
testimony on the date of separation of the parties. The
Master has been advised, however, that counsel and the
parties have reached an agreement with respect to all of
the outstanding economic issues and wish to proceed with a
statement of the agreement on the record and ultimately
conclude the divorce by the signing and filing of
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree.
The divorce action was initiated by complaint
filed on March 24, 2000.
The complaint raised grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage; no
economic claims were raised in the complaint.
On January 16, 2001, the Defendant filed a
petition for alimony pendente lite; on October 8, 2001, the
plaintiff filed an amended complaint raising the economic
claim of equitable distribution; on October 18, 2001 the
Defendant filed a counterclaim raising the economic claim
of alimony.
No claims have been raised in the action for
1
,
~ , ,
~~
I
I
~
~
counsel fees and costs.
The parties were married by acknowledging a
common-law marriage pursuant to an affidavit dated July 2,
1998, and signed by both parties.
The affidavit was sworn
to and subscribed before a notary public on July 2, 1998.
Pursuant to the affidavit, the date of the affidavit is the
date of the marriage of the parties.
The affidavit is
made a part of these proceedings.
The affidavit is in the
Master's file but has not been clocked in or filed with the
Prothonotary.
There was an issue that was raised at the
conference on December 11, 2001, regarding the date of
separation. Husband averred that the date of separation
was November 5, 1999, and wife averred the date of
separation was March 31, 2000.
Counsel have indicated
that they do not believe that it is necessary that we
specifically arrive at a date of separation inasmuch as the
economic issues have been resolved and the date of
separation will not be relevant to determining valuations
in the case.
An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties.
The agreement as
stated on the record will be considered the substantive
agreement of the parties not subject to any changes or
modifications except for correction of typographical errors
2
. .
~.~
which may be made during the transcription. The agreement
as placed on the record will be transcribed and then will
be sent to counsel and the parties to review for
typographical errors, any corrections of typographical
errors will be made, and then the agreement will be
presented to the parties and counsel for signature. The
purpose of signing the agreement will be to affirm the
terms of settlement as stated on the record. It is
specifically noted, however, that when the parties leave
the hearing room today, even though there is not a
subsequent signing by the parties to affirm the terms of
settlement, they are bound by the terms of the agreement as
stated on the record at this time.
Upon receipt by the Master of the completed
agreement from counsel, the Master will prepare an order
vacating his appointment and counsel will then be in a
position to file a praecipe transmitting the record to the
Court requesting a final decree in divorce.
As previously noted, the parties are going
to obtain the divorce under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic
Relations Code. Counsel are charged with filing the
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree within seven (7) days of
today's date. Mr. Miller.
MR. MILLER:

.-
1. Plaintiff agrees to pay to Defendant a lump sum
payment of $3,485.00 in consideration of equitable
distribution claims. Said payment shall be made within
seven (7) days from today's date. Payment will be made by
check made payable to Defendant and delivered to
Defendant's counsel within the specified time period.
2. Plaintiff shall pay COBRA benefits for Defendant for a
period of 19 months. According to the Central
Pennsylvania Teamster Health and Welfare Fund, the current
rate is $303.00 per month. In the event Defendant, through
her employment, is able to obtain insurance at no cost to
her, Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits shall
end. Plaintiff's obligation to provide COBRA benefits
shall not extend in any event beyond 19 months. To that
end, Plaintiff agrees to provide coverage during the
19-month period even if said amount increases. The
payment obligation and coverage shall commence the date
that Plaintiff provides notice to his employer that the
divorce has been finalized.
3. The parties agree to be responsible for any debts that
are in their name and to that end, agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the other party for any debts that they are
responsible for. Specifically, husband agrees to be solely
responsible for the home equity loan currently against the
property at 445 Ponderosa Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and
hold Defendant harmless from any responsibility or
obligations under that home equity loan.
4.
form
life
The parties agree to waive any
of pension or other retirement
insurance in the other parties
and all claims to any
plans and any form of
name.
5. Defendant agrees to waive any right, title or interest
that she has to the real estate located at 445 ponderosa
Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and any other real estate in
Plaintiff's name.
6. The parties agree to cancel the current alimony
pendente lite order through Domestic Relations effective
February 1, 2002. In the event any payments are received
by Defendant as a result of wage attachments after February
1, 2002, appropriate credit will be given to Plaintiff.
7. Defendant agrees to deliver to plaintiff a military
pistol currently in her possession but owned by Plaintiff.
Plaintiff agrees to register said weapon. The parties
have made arrangements for return of the item, which shall
4
'.~:!,. ~~
'-,
,
be done no later than ten (10) days from today's date.
Other than the item referenced above, the parties waive any
and all right, title and interest they have to any tangible
personal property in the other person's possession. All
tangible personal property in the possession of either
party shall remain their property.
8. Defendant agrees to withdraw her claim for alimony in
this action.
9. Except as herein otherwise provided, each party may
dispose of his or her property in any way and each party
hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he or she
may now have or hereafter acquire under the present or
future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or
the estate of the other as a result of the marital
relationship including without limitation, statutory
allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to
take against the will of the other, and right to act as
administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will
at the request of the other execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any and all instruments which may be necessary or
advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and
relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.
THE MASTER:
I neglected, when we began the
remarks on the record, to identify who was in the hearing
room at the time that the agreement was to be placed on the
record. Present are the Plaintiff, John E. Des Laurier,
and his counsel Douglas G. Miller, and the Defendant, Mari
Vangi Des Laurier, and her counsel Michael A. Scherer.
Both parties were present when we began the statement of
the agreement on the record and are still in the hearing
and are going to be addressed on the record regarding their
presence and their understanding of the agreement. Mr.
Miller.
