In Divorce
Dear Mr, Laskowski and Mr, Colgan:
Mr. Colgan indicated when he filed the certification document on
discovery that discovery was not complete, However, I understand that
he needs to have an income and expense statement from opposing
counsel so that he can make a proposal, Consequently, I assume that
except for the income and expense statement that discovery is complete,
A divorce complaint was filed on April 5, 2000, raising grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and the economic
claim of equitable distribution,
Wife filed a petition on November 12, 2002, raising additional
claims for alimony, alimony pendent elite, and counsel fees, costs, and
expenses,
In accordance with P,R.C,P, 1920,33(b) I am directing each counsel
to file a pretrial statement on or before Monday, February 3,2003, Upon
receipt of the pretrial statements, I will immediately schedule a pre-

NOTE:
Sanctions for failure to file the pretrial statements are set

RE: Minder v, Minder
Cumberland County Diivorce Action
Dear Diane:
Per our convers'ation, my client has now moved to Ohio and she needs the title to the
vehicle she is driving so that sh'9 can get Ohio tags for the vehicle, This needs to be
accomplished by December 3, 2001. You indicated that you don't believe your client will agree to
sign the title to the vehicle, I have indicated to you that by signing the title, your client will in no
way waive his right to equitable distribution of that vehicle, He certainly reserves that issue,
However, lam asking that he sign the tide and return it to my client so that she may make sure
that she is driving an appropriately licensed vehicle, If I have not heard from you by November
29, 2001, I will prepare and pre::;ent a Petition for Special Relief to the court in Cumberland
County regarding this issue. I ~Iope this step is unnecessary,
Very truly yours,
Wiley, Lenox, Colgan & Marzzacco, P,C,

child of the marriage was removed from the Order as being emancipated, As of the
effective date of said Order, Spousal support was continued at a rate of $562,99 per
month, to the present. Husband has no current obligation to provide support pursuant
to a Domestic Relations Order for his daughter. Husband avers that his Wife, the Wife,
is a talented individual, fully capable of earning compensation in her chosen field and
profession, substantially beyond that level of compensation which she presently
receives, Wife is a hair stylist who has advanced training and teaching certification in
hair styling, Further, Husband avers that the Wife has maintained steady and
consistent employment since 1977, and is capable of continuing said employment at a
level to be self-supporting, Post separation, Husband paid a total of $2,986,62 to
Homewide Lending for joint marital mortgage; $1,706,01 to Conseco for joint credit card
consolidation loans; $26,52 for joint utility bills; and $270.00 for joint Chase Mastercard,

Husband acknowledges that he has a defined retirement benefit pension plan
available through the State Employee Retirement System and a related 401 (k) deferred
compensation program, both of which have been identified on the Inventory and
Appraisement attached as Exhibit "A" and expert report attached as Exhibit "B", It is
believed that Wife has a deferred compensation plan; having an estimate value of
$5,036.51 plus interest and/or dividend accruals,
Husband proposes that marital interest attributable to Wife in distribution
hereunder be divided pursuant to a qualified Domestic Relations Order. The terms and
amounts of Husband's Retirement benefits that would be payable to Wife as an
alternate payee after SERS approves the Domestic Relations Order is dependent upon
the options which are selected by the member upon retirement. Husband proposes
that a lump sum withdrawal of an amount required to pay the alternate payee as set
forth below of Husband's contributions and interests be made, At the time of
Husband's retirement, Husband may select his monthly retirement benefit from any
option which is offered by SERS,
It is proposed that Husband retain his deferred compensation program benefit as
a partial offset of the 1995 Toyota Corolla which was retained by Wife as well as the
marital debt paid post-separation by husband. It is further proposed that 50% of the
marital property component of Husband's defined Pension Benefit Plan shall be
allocated to Wife as her equitable distribution portion of this marital asset. The marital
property component shall be calculated as the coverture fraction multiplied by
Husband's retirement benefit on the effective date of Husband's retirement calculated
by using a final average salary for Husband of $40,200, as of March 8, 2000, instead of
Husband's actual then final average salary, Husband's period of Member Service as
defined by SERS, for purposes of the coverture calculation, shall be for the period of
time from July 15,1990 (date of hire) to March 8, 2000 (date of separation), divided by
the total amount of Husband's member service, as defined by SERS, on the effective
date of Husband's retirement.
Husband proposes that his retirement benefits are defined as monies paid to or
on behalf of SERS accepting and excluding disability portion of any disability benefits
paid to Member by SERS or any deferred compensation benefits paid to Husband by
SERS, The amounts to be paid to Wife shall be payable and commence as soon as
administratively feasible on and about the date the Wife enters into a pay status after
approval of the Domestic Relations order, whichever is later.
Husband will provide appropriate authorization for alternate payee in a form
acceptable to SERS, authorizing SERS to release to Wife information concerning
Husband's retirement account with respect to the distributed equitable portion of the
marital assets to Wife, Wife shall not exercise any rights, privileges and options that
are not offered otherwise by SERS, All taxable/non-taxable portions of any benefits
shall be allocated between Husband and Wife according to the distribution provided
4

herein, In no event shall Wife have any benefits or rights which are available to the
member by virtue of the distribution herein. Wife shall be entitled only to specific
benefits which are offered. Any and all other rights, privileges and options offered but
not granted to the Wife by this said distribution are preserved for Husband,
It is further proposed that the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania retain jurisdiction to amend the Domestic Relations Order only for
purposes of establishing or maintaining it as a Domestic Relations Order; providing
further that no amendment shall require SERS to provide any type or form of benefit, or
any option not otherwise provided by SERS and that no further amendment or right of
the Court will be provided for an amendment will invalidate said Order. The qualified
Domestic Relations Order will take effect immediately upon approval by SERS and shall
remain in effect until further order of Court.

Based upon a straight line interpolation, I determined the estimated data under the State
Employees' Retirement System as of March 8, 2000, the date of separation, as follows:
1. Years of service - 9.64.
2. Accumulated contributions plus interest - $19,267.
3. Final average salary - $40,200.
Currently, James M. Minder is 46 years of age (age nearest birthday).
The State Employees' Retirement System is a defined benefit pension plan. The pension
benefit provided upon retirement is based upon the final three-year average salary and the
years of service.
Normal retirement for James M. Minder is age 60.
The figure that is marital property for divorce purposes for a defined benefit pension plan is the
present value of the pension earned during the marriage.
The following table shows the pension benefit earned as of March 8, 2000, adjusted for
retirement at ages 60 and 62, and the present value of the pension earned during the marriage:

The pension benefit earned as of March 8,2000, was earned during the marriage.

The present value calculations are based upon the assumptions promulgated by the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation for annuity valuations except that mortality was not taken into
account prior to the commencement of the pension. The interest rate is 5.3% per year for 25
years followed by 4.25% per year. The mortality is in accordance with the 1983 Group Annuity
Mortality Table.
In my opinion, the assumptions promulgated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for
annuity valuations are appropriate for the purpose of determining the present values.
The figures in this report take into account the legislation signed by Gov. Tom Ridge on
May 17, 2001, increasing the pension multiplier from 2.0% to 2.5%.
The Deferred Compensation Program is a defined contribution pension plan. The figure that is
marital property is the account balance on the date of separation accumulated with investment
results only from that date until the current date.
Based upon the data previously described, I determined that the account balance as of March 8,
2000, the date of separation, amounted to $5,297. Accumulating this figure with investment
results only provides for an accumulated amount as of June 30, 2002, of $6,540.

Re: Benefit Information for Margaret Minder
Dear Mr. Colgan:
As requested, following are the benefits that Margaret Minder (SSN 169-52-3590) has with the J.C.
Penney Company, Inc as of December 3, 2002.
.J C pp.nD~.y Company" IDe ppn~ion P19n-

Single Life No Death Benefit: $73.09
Lump Sum: $9,983.69
Age 55:

Account Balance: $12,891.59 as of November 19, 2002
Outstanding Loan Balance: $0.00
Also, as requested, enclosed is model QDRO language that you may use to assist you in preparing a
QDRO for the J. C. Penney Company, Ine. Pension Plan and the J. C. Penney Company, Inc.
Savings, Profit-Sharing and Stock OwnershiP Plan. While the use of each model language will
expedite the approval process, you may find it necessary to modify each language in order to
conform with the intent of the parties and to the applicable p , . ce decree, to the
extent that these models do not otherwise conform. EXHIBIT
F-
'I"
--
'---.
'-. ~i
,- -::
Again, while each model QDRO meets the technical requirements for QDROs under Section
414(P) of the Internal Revenue Code, we cannot guarantee that it conforms to all of the applicable
provisions of the subj ect divorce decree regarding the division of assets under this pension plan. It
is therefore your responsibility, as the drafting attorney, to be sure that the parties' intent is properly
stated under the terms and provisions of each QDRO.
If you have any questions regarding the drafting of qualified domestic relations orders, as they apply
to this case, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Also, feel free to submit each QDRO in draft form prior to their execution with the court. I can pre-
approve each language for you in the event they require further changes or clarification.
Enclosed is a copy of J.C. Peuney's procedures and policies regarding the review and
administration of Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.
Very truly yours,
