CARL RICHARD NOLTE,
Plaintiff
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Vs.
NO.
00 - 3382 CIVIL
SARAH E. HEITZMAN NOLTE,
Defendant
IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER:
Today is Thursday, February 13,
2003.
This is the date set for a Master's hearing in the
above captioned divorce proceedings to take testimony on the
claims of equitable distribution, alimony, and counsel fees
and costs.
with respect to the grounds for divorce, the
parties have previously filed affidavits of consent and
waivers of notice of intention to request entry of divorce
decree.
Husband's affidavit was filed on December 3, 2002;
his waiver was filed on February 13, 2003. Wife's affidavit
and waiver were filed on December 9, 2002. The divorce can,
therefore, be concluded under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic
Relations Code.
Present in the hearing are the Plaintiff,
Carl Richard Nolte, and his counsel Jacqueline M. Verney, and
the Defendant, Sarah E. Heitzman-Nolte, and her counsel
Theresa Barrett Male.
The parties were married on September 6,
1980, and separated February 23, 2000.
The parties previously were before the Master
for a hearing on Tuesday, October 1, 2002, regarding an issue
..
"". "'I
" '<, ,- ~, '
-"..-
. .-~,-,~ .
"":-
,
dealing with a claim made by the party's son affecting the
expenditure of funds from a trust. The Master made findings
and entered a recommendation with respect to those issues
which were placed on the record following the hearing.
The Master has been advised that the parties
after negotiations today have reached an agreement with
respect to the outstanding economic issues. The agreement is
going to be placed on the record in the presence of the
parties.
The agreement as placed 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 which may be during the transcription.
The parties are going to return later today to review the
draft for typographical errors, make any corrections as
necessary, and then affix their signatures affirming the terms
of settlement as stated on the record. In any event, when the
parties leave the hearing room today, they are bound by the
terms of settlement as stated on the record even though there
is no subsequent signing of the agreement affirming the terms
of settlement.
Following receipt by the Master of a
completed agreement, the Master will prepare an order vacating
his appointment and counsel can then file a praecipe
transmitting the record to the Court requesting a final decree
in divorce.
, ,
[
" "'.~'

~
Also present in the hearing room is Harry M.
Leister, Jr., who is with Conrad M. Siegel, Inc., actuary and
benefit consultants. He has assisted the parties in review of
husband's distribution of the military pension. It is my
understanding as well that Mr. Leister will be assisting in
preparing a QDRO to distribute the pension on a deferred
basis.
Ms. Male.
MS. MALE:
1. Wife shall retain as her sole, separate, and exclusive
property the following assets:
The Orrstown Bank escrow account, No. 708700379;
Josten's 401(k) account;
proceeds from her Johnson & Johnson 401(k) account;
Lutheran Brotherhood life insurance policy, No.
2682306;
wife also shall retain the tangible personal property
in her possession.
2. Husband shall retain as his sole, separate and
exclusive property the following assets:
C.J. Nolte employee benefit plan;
Lutheran Brotherhood Field Deferred Comp Plan;
Lutheran Brotherhood Field Retirement Plan;
Lutheran Brotherhood Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan;
Lutheran Brotherhood Mutual funds accounts 0007348992,
0007057732, 0980291027.
Husband will retain all Lutheran Brotherhood life
insurance policies with the exception of the policy previously
identified as reserved to wife and the additional whole life
"~ "
.,1
,- -'
- ~-
-1\\i.1~-:
...
insurance policy which will be dealt with in a separate
paragraph.
Husband also shall retain the tangible personal
property in his possession.
3. Wife is awarded 100% of the gross military pay to which
husband is entitled subject to the coverture fraction which is
based on the date of separation at February 23, 2000. Husband
shall have the right to elect any option and shall not be
required to elect a survivor benefit in favor of wife based on
his agreement to provide wife with private life insurance
policy coverage as we will set forth more particularly later
in this stipulation.
The parties shall retain Harry M. Leister, Jr., to
prepare a Domestic Relations Order and the language for the
distribution order necessary to implement this award. The
parties contemplate that wife will receive 50% of the
disposable retired pay directly from the military and that
husband will pay directly to wife 100% of the gross monthly
retired pay times the coverture fraction less the amount paid
directly to wife by the military ("direct payment") .
Husband's agreement to pay wife shall not be diminished by his
subsequent disability or by subsequent election of a survivor
benefit in favor of any future spouse.
If husband applies for and receives disability
retirement pay, he shall pay directly to wife the same amount
net of federal, state, and local income taxes at wife's rate
at which she would be entitled had he not been disabled. The
same treatment applies in the event that husband has his
benefit diminished by the amount of a subsequent survivor
benefit in favor of a subsequent spouse.
The direct payment shall be net of taxes which wife
otherwise would have paid had she been able to receive 100% of
the benefit from the military. In other words, it will be net
of the taxes that wife would have paid on that benefit.
By way of clarification of the tax implications for the
50% direct payment, husband's direct payment will be
calculated based on the tax that wife would have paid had she
received that amount from the government directly; so by way
of illustration, if wife would have paid $100.00 in tax on the
money husband owes her, she will receive a net of that amount
minus that $100.00.
The parties acknowledge that Mr. Leister is present
during the stipulation on the record and that Mr. Leister will
-,~-
I;
.,,- ,c.,", ',,'. ,'i~;~-';On
,~~.....;,,-.'
"
be assisting in drafting a language so that the agreement as
set forth here is put into the appropriate language necessary
for both the divorce decree and distribution order and the
Domestic Relations Order.
4. Husband shall pay to wife as alimony for her support
and maintenance the sum of $1,000.00 a month effective the
date of the decree in divorce. These payments shall be
payable and enforceable through the Cumberland County Domestic
Relations Office. The award shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 3701 of the Divorce Code governing
modification and termination of alimony awards.
5. Husband shall designate and maintain wife as
irrevocable beneficiary of the Lutheran Brotherhood life
insurance policy, No. 2614130 which husband represents and
warrants has a benefit of approximately $110,000.00 as of
today's date. He also shall maintain wife as irrevocable
beneficiary of his SGLI policy currently in effect which
husband represents has a face value of $250,000.00. If that
policy currently is being maintained for the benefit of the
party's son Andrew James Nolte, husband shall change the
beneficiary to wife within thirty (30) days of the date of
this order. Husband shall maintain wife as irrevocable
beneficiary of his AFBA life insurance policy which husband
represents has a face value of $60,000.00. The aggregate of
these life insurance policies is $420,000.00 which is an
amount sufficient to provide protection for wife's entitlement
to the military benefit without the necessity of husband
providing a survivor benefit through the military plan itself.
In the event that husband for any reason is unable to
maintain the policies which we have identified in this
stipulation, he shall secure additional insurance necessary to
meet the $420,000.00 worth of insurance agreed to today.
6. Within 14 days of the date of this order husband shall
place in one account in the name of the parties' son Andrew
James Nolte all funds he is holding for him including the
balance in the aggressive growth fund and the education IRA as
identified by husband during his testimony at the October 1,
2002, Master's hearing.
Within 30 days of the date of this order the parties
shall pay to Andrew James Nolte the sum of $11,359.77 which is
the principle plus interest determined by the Master which the
parties owe to their son. Husband shall pay 60% of that
amount and wife shall pay 40% of that amount.
7. Wife waives her claim to counsel fees.
,'. -
i'.
-,'
""""'~ ,,,,., ",,-.;
"'0_,<

8. The parties shall divide equally the fees incurred for
Mr. Leister's review and preparation of his reports up to and
including his appearance at the hearing today, February 13,
2003. Wife is responsible solely for Mr. Leister's witness
fee as a result of his appearance at the December 2, 2002,
bifurcation hearing. The parties also shall divide equally
Mr. Leister's fees for preparation of the Domestic Relations
Order and the distirbution language on the military benefit
pursuant to Paragraph 3. Both parties shall pay their
portions of the invoice within 14 days of its submission.

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.

HEARING ON PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR BIFURCATION
1. Plaintiff Carl R. Nolte ("Husband") and Defendant Sarah E. Heitzman-Nolte
("Wife") were married on September 6, 1980.
2, Husband is 46 years old [dob: 11/09/56],
3. Wife is 43 years old [dob: 06/17/59].
4, On June 15, 2001, Wife filed a counterclaim to Husband's divorce complaint in
which she raised claims for equitable distribution, alimony, and counsel fees and expenses,
5, On July 10, 2001, Wife moved for appointment of the divorce master.
6, Pursuant to his appointment, Master E. Robert Elicker, II directed the parties to
file pretrial statements by April 10, 2002,
7. On Aprilll, 2002, the Master set the pre-hearing conference for July 19, 2002.
.
",
, '
8. On July 19, 2002, following the pre-hearing conference, the Master set October
I, 2002 for a preliminary hearing. 1
9. On August 19, 2002, Husband filed a petition seeking to bifurcate the divorce.
10. By order dated August 26,2002, the Court set December 2,2002 for the hearing
on Husband's bifurcation petition.
11. The Divorce Code provides for bifurcation as follows:
In the event the court is unable for any reason to determine and
dispose of the matters provided for in subsection (b) [existing
property rights and interests between the parties, alimony,
reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses, and any other related
matters] within 30 days after the report of the master has been
filed, it may enter a decree of divorce or annulment. Upon the
request of either party and after a hearing, the court may order
alimony pendente lite, reasonable counsel fees, costs and expenses
and may make a temporary order necessary to protect the interests
of the parties pending final disposition of the matters in subsection
(b),
23 Pa. C.S.A. g 3323 (c).
12. Although section 3323 (c) does not preclude the court from entertaining a
bifurcation petition before the master files a report, see Savage v. Savage,2 the Superior Court
prohibits automatic or pro forma bifurcation. Id. (citations omitted).
1 This hearing proceeded on October 1, 2002, following which the Master entered an opinion
disposing of one issue, Le., the disposition of $10,000,00 which the parties' son, Andrew James
Nolte (dob: 08/18/84) received in 1996 as a bequest under a relative's will.

, .
13. With the exception of less than $1,700.00 in an escrow account, and nominal cash
values in several life insurance policies, the only assets available for distribution are the
following pension and retirement benefits:
a. Husband's military retirement.3
b. Husband's Lutheran Brotherhood retirement plan and
deferred compensation plan.
c. Husband's CJ Nolte Employee Benefit Plan.
d. Wife's Josten's 401(k).4
e. Wife's Johnson and Johnson Savings Plan.s
14. Wife has retained Harry F. Leister, Jr., FSA, an actuary with Conrad M. Siegel,
Inc" to value Husband's pension and retirement benefits.
15.
On October 4, 2002, the master scheduled the equitable distribution hearing for
#I\'A--"rY""
January 16, 2003 at 9:00 a,m.
...............,
16. Entry of a divorce decree, even with a reservation of economic claims, will
extinguish certain rights which enure to Wife under federal law governing military retirement
benefits.
3 Husband is a Lieutenant Colonel in the D.S, Army Reserve.
4 As of March 31,2002, this account had a balance of $2,874.24.
SIn 2001, Wife cashed in this benefit, i.e., $8,949.19, to assist with the purchase of a home
for herself and the parties' son,
3
m!
-~-
"
,
, .
17. Even assuming, arguendo, no prejudice to Wife, judicial economy will be served
by dismissing, or alternatively continuing, the December 2 bifurcation hearing because the
Master already has taken testimony in this case, and will hear the economic claims on January
16, 2003.
Wherefore, Defendant respectfully requests the Court to dismiss Plaintiff's bifurcation
petition. Alternatively, Defendant requests the Court to continue the bifurcation hearing pending
the outcome of the January 16, 2003 equitable distribution hearing,

CARL RICHARD NOLTE,
Plain tiff
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 00 - 3382 CIVIL
vs,
SARAH E. HEITZMAN-NOLTE,
Defendant
IN DIVORCE
(Master's opening remarks and statement of issues placed on the
record by both counse1.)
THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, October 1, 2002. This is the
date set for a hearing to take testimony on an alleged loan from the parties' son
to both parties, the issue of marital misconduct as that factor may affect wife's
alimony claim, and the marital or non-marital status of personality from wife's
family.
Counsel have indicated that the only issue remaining is the
alleged loan from the son; husband is withdrawing the marital misconduct
claim and the parties have settled the tangible personal property issues,
Counsel further indicated that they will not be using any values for the tangible
personal property in the equitable distribution computation,
Present in the hearing room are the Plaintiff, Carl Richard Nolte,
and his counsel Jacqueline M. Verney, and the Defendant, Sarah E. Heitzman-
Nolte, and her counsel Theresa Barrett Male.
This action was commenced by the filing of a divorce complaint on
June 2, 2000, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the
marriage. Counsel are directed to file affidavits of consent and waivers of notice
of intention to request entry of divorce decree within ten (10) days of today's
date. Counsel have also advised the Master that husband has petitioned the
Court to bifurcate the divorce proceedings and that hearing will be held
1
.
-'.
'I
- ".,,;-'-
y
December 2,2002, in front of Judge Oler. Counsel have also indicated that
they are currently in the process of completing the valuations of the pensions.
We are going to take the testimony of the parties and witnesses on
the loan issue and I am going to ask each attorney to state the issue with
respect to the loan on the record and then we will begin the testimony with the
Plaintiff. Ms. Verney.
MS. VERNEY: The Plaintiff's position as indicated in our inventory
and pretrial statement was that there was a $10,000.00 loan from the parties'
son that was used for marital expenses. In preparing for today's hearing, we
will present evidence that shows that $8,650.00 was withdrawn from a joint
marital account that had been designated the son's account. We will also
present evidence that that account now holds $154,00 in it that is a result of
the decline in the stock market.
THE MASTER: Is there any evidence to indicate the nature of the
transaction other than the oral testimony of the witnesses?
MS. VERNEY: Yes, The withdrawal of the $8,650.00.
THE MASTER: All right. You may state your issue, I assume you
are saying this was withdrawn but it was used for marital purposes.
MS. MALE: We have several issues regarding this,
THE MASTER: Excuse me. You are saying it was not used for
marital purposes.
MS. MALE: Our position is that husband unilaterally took money
that was bequeathed to the son, used it for expenses. He did it without wife's
consent; he did it without wife's knowledge. There was no loan as such.
THE MASTER: Do we know what this money was spent for?
2
- .., --~ '
, 'c_~
"
. !,,~ ,., ",-,"
.'0
MS. VERNEY: Yes. We will present evidence to that effect.
THE MASTER: But you are saying it was done without the
knowledge of the son or the wife?
MS. MALE: That's correct. Yes. And, in fact, was not deposited in
an account set up to protect the son's interest in this $10,000.00, It was not
safe guarded for him as it should have been.
(A discussion was held off the record.)
MEMORANDUM
OPINION
The parties and counsel appeared for a hearing on October 1,
2002, to offer testimony on the handling and use of an inheritance received by
the parties' son, Andrew, in November of 1996.
Pursuant to a bequest in a will of a relative of husband's who died
in June of 1996, Andrew received the sum of $10,000.00. This money was
placed in an aggressive growth fund in the names of both husband and wife.
The initial investment was $10,000,00, Andrew would have been 12 years of
age at the time and the money was entrusted to the parents for the son's
benefit.
In 1997 withdrawals were made from the account by husband in
the total amount of $7,800.00. In 1999 an additional $850,00 was withdrawn
from the account by husband so that the total withdrawals amounted to
$8,650.00. Currently the account has around $154.00 as a balance. The
monies were used by the parents of Andrew to pay taxes, credit card debt and
household expenses.
3
"
_, ~: L --_,j..~ - - ,',,-C- ~ .' _~_
I
Prior to the separation of the parties, husband deposited $200.00
into an education savings account for Andrew and post-separation he deposited
$1,000.00 into the same account. The total of $1,200.00 was an effort on
husband's part to repay the monies taken from the account in 1997 and 1999.
The account currently has around $848.00 as a balance, the amount having
been decreased because of market conditions. Consequently, the monies
remaining of the $10,000.00 are $154.00 in the original account and $848.00
in the education account. The pay back to the account by husband ceased
following the year 2001 so that no deposits have been made for Andrew into the
account in 2002.
The Master finds that Andrew is entitled to be made whole and to
be reimbursed for the monies that have been taken from his account. The
question is where those funds are to be paid from considering the contradictory
testimony of husband and wife. Husband claims that he advised wife upon
each withdrawal. Wife claims that shefnew nothing about the account and had
no idea that funds were being taken from the account and placed into their
joint account for purposes of paying household and other expenses. Wife
indicated that husband controlled the financial life of the parties and she
simply assumed that the deposits were made from commissions and other
earnings that husband received as a result of his insurance business.
There is no question that husband is responsible for paying back
funds to Andrew. However, the question remains as to whether or not wife also
shares in the responsibility of seeing that Andrew is reimbursed.
The Master believes that wife was totally oblivious to what was
going on with the account or where the monies were coming from to pay
4
;u_,. '-";.'C-_"
'c- -,_ _> ,_~,.,,_ _-~" ,,;..J--
- "iilk(j
'"
household expenses in 1997 and subsequently the taxes in 1999. However, the
Master does not believe that wife can simply throw up her hands and walk away
from this issue by simply claiming that she was totally uninformed and
ignorant about what was going on with the account. The Master believes that
wife had a duty as a parent to Andrew to know what was being done with the
monies and to also have a responsibility to be aware of what was going on with
the household and family expenses. Her lack of interest and involvement does
not absolve her from responsibility.
Further, the Master believes that wife should also be held
accountable on the basis that she derived a substantial benefit from the use of
the funds. That benefit was payment of marital debt and obligations that
otherwise would have been paid from other sources. The use of Andrew's funds
for the payment of these obligations, which benefited both husband wife,
should be a shared responsibility to Andrew.
The parties, therefore, jointly, owe Andrew $10,000.00 less
$154.00 remaining in the aggressive growth account less $848.00 in the
education account. With respect to husband's obligation, he should be given
credit for the payment of $848.00.1 The interest that Andrew should receive on
the balance due him should be at the legal rate of 6% per annum.
l The Master does recognize that husband paid back $1,200.00; however, those funds decreased in value as
a result of market conditions. However, had husband not withdrawn any funds from the accoWlt, we would
not have any issue regarding market conditions with regard to the paid back money,

The Master intends that upon a final recommendation in these
proceedings, that the funds that are due Andrew plus interest from each parent
shall be deducted from each of the parties' share of the assets subject to
equitable distribution.

Militarv Retirement Svstem
The Military Retirement System is a defined benefit pension plan. The figure that is marital
property for divorce purposes is the present value of the benefits earned during the marriage.
The estimated monthly pension to start at age .60 depends upon the option elected with respect
to the provision of survivor benefits. The estimated monthly pension is $2,530.98 with Option A
(no provision of survivor benefits), $2,290.54 with Option B (survivor benefits deferred until the
60th birthday Of the member ,if death occurs before age 60 or if death occurs after age 60, the
survivor benefits start on the date of death), and $2,256.37 with Option C (survivor benefits
commencing upon the date of death of the member), The last two pension figures are based
upon providing the maximum survivor benefits, i.e., 55% of full retired pay until the surviving

spouse reaches age 62 and 35% of the full retired pay after the date the surviving spouse attains
age 62.
As previously indicated, Mr. Nolte received a severance payment of $30,000 in 1990. Upon
retirement, his monthly pension will be reduced. The reduction from his pension each month is
an amount based on the service for which his severance pay was received until the total amount
deducted equals the amount of the severance pay.
The monthly pensions previously quoted are based upon 4,905 total retirement points. It is
necessary to multiply the present value of the net pensi()n (after adjustment for the $30,000
severance payment) by a "coverture fraction" in order to determine the present value of the
pension earned during the marriage. The numerator ofthe "coverture fraction" is 4,147 (the
estimated retirement points earned during the marriage) and the denominator is 4,905 (the
total retirement points earned from June 2, 1979, until April 18, 2002. Thus, the "coverture
fraction" is .85 (4,147 divided by 4,905).
The following table shows the estimated monthly pension, the deduction from the monthly
. pension for the $30,000 severance payment and the duration of such deduction, the net monthly
pension, the present value of the net pension, the "coverture fraction" and the present value of

information with respect to the three options that he might elect concerning survivor benefits.
Under Option A no survivor benefits would be provided. Under Option B the survivor benefits
would be deferred to the member's 60th birthday if he died before his 60th birthday or such
benefits would commence onthe date of death if he died after his 60"'birthday. Under Option C
the survivor benefits would commence on the date of death of the member.
There is a value of the survivor benefits in the event Option B or Option C were elected. I
calculated this present value assuming such benefits would be provided to Sarah Heitzman-
Nolte, who was born on June 17, 1959, The present value of the survivor benefits are as follows:
Option A
Ontion B
Ontion C
Present Value Survivor
Benefits
$0
$50,694
$55,267
The calculations are based upon providing the maximum survivor benefits, i.e., 55% of the full
retired pay until the surviving spouse reaches age 62 and 35% of the full retired pay after the
.. date the surviving spouse attains age ,62.
Surviving spouse benefits are not payable if the surviving spouse remarries before age 55.
The present value calculations have been based upon the assumptions promulgated by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for annuity valuations except that I did not increase the
interest rate after 20 years. The interest rate is 5.1% per year and the mortality is in
accordance with the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table for males with this table rated six
years for females.
The calculation of the present value of the survivor benefits has been made in accordance with
the Palladino case.
In my opinion, these assumptions are appropriate for the purpose of determining the present
values.
Lutheran Brotherhood Benefits
As previously indicated, Mr. Nolte has certain paid-up benefits under three different plans.
Each oftheseplans is a defined contribution pension plan. Since all of the service occurred
during the marriage and since the date of termination of employment occurred before the date
of separation, the current account balance under each ofthe plans is marital property.
The following table shows the account balance as of January 29, 2003, under the three different
plans:

It should be noted that the Field Deferred Compensation Plan and the Voluntary Deferred
Compensation Plan are non-qualified plans. The Field Retirement Plan is a qualified plan.
C.J. Nolte Co. Emplovee Benefit Plan
This plan is also a defined contribution plan. The figure that is maritalpropertyis the account
balance on the date 'of separation accumulated with investment results only.
The data previously indicated shows an account balance as of February 27, 2000, of $3,523.
This date is relatively close to the date of separation of April 1, 2000,
I obtained the invel!tment results for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. Making an adjustment for
the first two months of the year 2000, Ihave estimated that the total investment return on the
February 27,2000, account balance from that date until December 31,2002, was (-)38.32%.
This means that the account balance as of February 27, 2000, a date relatively close to the date
of separation, of $3,523 would have declined by 38.32% or to afigure of $2,173 as of
December 31, 2002.

By letter dated March 28, 2002, Wife renewed her request that Husband supplement the
financial information he has supplied her prior counsel. Husband did not provide this
information in advance of the April 8, 2002 pretrial statement filing date. On April 9, 2002,
Wife received Husband's pretrial statement, which contains some of the information Wife

requested. Wife expressly incorporates by reference the updated property values set out in
Husband's pretrial statement, subject to confirmation in advance of trial.

Wife
Wife reserves the right to call additional witnesses to testify regarding the value and the
transferability of Husband's retirement benefits.
Exhibits
Wife incorporates by reference the statements attached to Husband's pretrial statement, subject
to securing updated statements as she has requested. Wife reserves the right to supplement this
in advance of trial, with notice to Husband. Wife also reserves the right to introduce exhibits
for impeachment and rebuttal.
2 Husband's pretrial statement claims the parties owe a personal loan to their son, AI, in the
amount of $10,000. This apparently is in response to a written inquiry by counsel, on AI's
behalf, regarding the $10,000 bequest which AI received in 1996. See attached Exhibit 2.
4
Proposed Resolution
L Based on the section 3502 factors, Wife is entitled to 60% of the marital assets.
2. Application of the section 3701 factors results in an alimony award of $500.00 per
month, provided Husband continues to support AJ, Absent ongoing child support, Wife's
alimony requirement will increase substantially.
3. Wife is entitled to recover the legal fees and expenses she has incurred,
Wife cannot provide a more specific proposal until Husband updates the values of the assets
under his control. Additionally, if Wife receives any portion of Husband's military benefits, she
will need the award secured and/or collateralized.

Re: Nolte v. Nolte (# 2000-3382 Civil Term)
Dear Bob:
Under separate cover, I forwarded to you a copy of my praecipe entering my appearance on
behalf of Sarah Nolte, the defendant in the above-referenced action. As I also advised Tracy
last week, Ms. Nolte's prior counsel, Carol Lindsay, previously filed a discovery certification,
indicating that there were no outstanding discovery requests, but that the asset values needed to
be updated.
My review of her file confmns that the asset values must be updated. Additionally, however,
some of the assets have not been valued at all, nor is there an asset schedule identifying the
marital estate. Based on my discussions with Jackie Verney, I am confident that counsel can
address this issue and proceed without the need for formal discovery.
If you have any questions regarding this, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Theresa Barrett Male

Re: Nolte v. Nolte
Dear Jackie:
I am forwarding this letter to you at Andrew James (AJ) Nolte's request. He informs me that
he received a bequest in the amount of $10,000.00 several years ago from Emil Friesenhahn.
According to AJ, your client claims that he used some portion of this bequest, and placed the
balance in an "educational account" which did poorly because of the stocks in which he invested
the monies. Assuming that AI did receive a bequest under Mr. Friesenhahn's will, I doubt that
AI's father, or mother, were entitled to any portion of the bequest. Additionally, the funds
should not have been deposited in any high risk investment vehicle.
In order to ascertain AI's rights regarding this matter, I need the following:
L A true and correct copy of Emil Friesenhahn's last will and testament.
2. A copy of the front and the back of the check disbursed from the estate to AI or his
parent( s).
3. A history of the account into which the funds were invested, including the opening date,
opening balance, and disbursements if any.
4. Current statement of the account.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Theresa Barrett Male

RE: Carl Richard Nolte vs. Sarah E. Heitzman-Nolte
No. 00 - 3382 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Ms. Verney and Ms. Male:
I received a letter from attorney Male who now represents the Defendant advising
that certain asset values need to be updated. This is consistent with Ms. Verney's
,~,
understanding with regard to certain assets. However, attorney Male also advises that
there are some assets that have not yet been valued "nor is there an asset schedule
identifying the marital estate". However, based on attorney Male's comment that she is
confident that these issues can be addressed without formal discovery motions, I am
going to proceed with a directive for pretrial statements, taking into account with regard
to setting a date for filing, that some matters still need to be resolved regarding the
valuation of assets.
A divorce complaint was filed on June 2, 2000, raising grounds for divorce of
irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. No economic claims were raised in the
complaint.
On June 19,2001, an answer and counterclaim were filed raising the economic
claims of equitable distribution, alimony, and counsel fees.
In accordance with PRC.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing each counsel to file a
pretrial statement on or before Monday, April 8, 2002. Upon receipt of the pretrial

statements, I will immediately schedule a pre-hearing conference with counsel to discuss
the issues and; if necessary, schedule a hearing. As counsel note, I have given some extra
time for counsel to prepare the pretrial statements taking into account the need to update
values and have other assets valued.
Very truly yours,
E. Robert Elicker, II
Divorce Master
NOTE:
Sanctions for failure to file the pretrial statements are set
forth in subdivision (c) and (d) of Rule 1920.33.
THE ORIGINAL PRETRIAL STATEMENT SHOULD BE FILED
IN THE MASTER'S OFFICE AND A COPY SENT DIRECTLY
TO OPPOSING COUNSEL.
FAILURE TO FILE PRETRIAL STATEMENTS AS DIRECTED
BY THE MASTER MAY RESULT IN THE MASTER'S
APPOINTMENT BEING V ACA TED.

Re: Nolte v, Nolte (# 2000-3382 Civil Term)
Dear Bob:
Under separate cover, I forwarded to you a copy of my praecipe entering my appearance on
behalf of Sarah Nolte, the defendant in the above-referenced action, As I also advised Tracy
last week, Ms. Nolte's prior counsel, Carol Lindsay, previously filed a discovery certification,
indicating that there were no outstanding discovery requests, but that the asset values needed to
be updated.
My review of her file confirms that the asset values must be updated. Additionally, however,
some of the assets have not been valued at all, nor is there an asset schedule identifying the
marital estate. Based on my discussions with Jackie Verney, I am confident that counsel can
address this issue and proceed without the need for formal discovery,
If you have any questions regarding this, please let us know.
Sincerely,

Dear Judge Oler:
It is my understanding that the Court has inquired regarding my position on the motion to
continue the pending support and divorce matters, based on Mr. Nolte's milil<try deployment
to Iraq.
I do not oppose the request provided that thA Court p.ntArs the enclosed orders for attachment
of Mr. Nolte's income to satisfy his child support and his alimony obligations during his
deployment.

counterclaim to husband's divorce complaint where she
raised issues of equitable distribution, alimony, counsel
fees, and expenses.
On July 10th wife moved for appointment of a
Divorce Master.
Pretrial statements were filed with Mr.
Elicker on April 10th, 2002. A pre-hearing conference
with the Divorce Master was held July 19th, 2002. A
preliminary hearing with the Divorce Master was held
October 1st, 2002. On August 19th husband filed this
petition seeking to bifurcate the divorce. This Court set
today's date for the hearing on husband's bifurcated
petition.
The extent of marital assets are $1700.00
escrow account, nominal cash values of several life
insurance policies, and the following pension and
retirement benefits. Husband's military retirement,
husband's Lutheran Brotherhood Retirement Plan and deferred
compensation plan. Husband's, C.J. Nolte employee benefit
plan, wife's Johnson 401(k) and wife's Johnson and Johnson
savings plan.
Harry M. Leister, Jr., is valuing the
pensions and retirement benefits. The hearing on
equitable distribution in front of the Divorce Master is
scheduled for January 16th, 2003, at 9 a.m.
THE COURT:
Ms. Male, are those

"C"
1 stipulations satisfactory?
2 MS. MALE: Yes, Your Honor, and just so the
3 record is clear, I would note that the facts as read by
4 counsel were essentially set out in paragraphs 1 through 15
5 of the Defendant's Motion To Dismiss or Continue The
6 Bifurcation, and were admitted in Defendant's answer to
7
8
that motion, which was filed today.
THE COURT:
All right.
As you point out,

1 Q Ms. Nolte, you were here during the
2 stipulation of the facts read into the record by
3 Ms. Verney, were you not?
A
Yes.
5 Q And do you agree with the facts as she read
6 them into the record?
A
Q
I do.
Who lives with you at your home?
A My son Andrew, when he's not at school.
Q Where do you work currently?
A I'm a Staffing Specialist at Manpower on
Walnut Bottom Road.
Q How long have you been employed there?
A I started in July of 2000. A little over 2
years.
Q Have you and Mr. Nolte been married
throughout his military service career?
A Yes, we have.
Q Was he in the military before you married
him?
A
Yes, he was.
He graduated and was
commissioned on June 7th, 1979, and we didn't get married
until September 6th of 1980. So there was a short time in
there before we were married that he was in the military.
Q
And from what period of time from 1979
7
"
-
~.
1 forward was he in the active military?
2 A He was in the active military until the
3 spring of 1994.
4 Q And what happened in the spring of 1994?
5 A Well, essentially the way it works is that
6 he was passed over and so he didn't make his next
7 promotion, and he actually -- he left active duty. You
8 know, they asked him to leave.
9
And what did he do then after leaving the
Q
10 active military?

20

23

25
A
He went to work for the Lutheran Brotherhood
in Geneva, New York. That's when we were living in Geneva.
Q At some point thereafter, did he enlist in
the reserves?
A Actually I had that date wrong. It was 1990
that he got out of the active military, and in 1994 he went
back into the reserves when we lived in Buffalo, New York.
So there's a time span of about 4 years that he was in the
inactive reserves.
Q And from that point until the time the two
of you separated, was he in the reserves then?
A He was in the active reserves from 1994
until the time that he left in September of -- February of
2000.
Q During the course of your marriage, and
8
. .<<
- ~ ,
1
before you separated, did you, through your husband,
2 acquire information regarding benefits that accrue to you
3 as a military spouse?
4
A
Yes.
5
What is your understanding of those
Q
6 benefits, Sarah?
7
With the exception of the fact that there
A
8 might have been a stop placed on retirements for the
9 military police at this point, when he's collected enough
10 points toward retirement and he has enough good years of
11 service and enough good -- enough time served, he can put
12 in what's called an intention to retire.
13 In other words, he puts in a paper that says
14
1'm intending to retire.
1'm not taking anymore active
15 reserve assignments, and I intend to retire. And at that
16 time then he designates who his beneficiary is going to be
17 or who will receive it, the retirement, should he --
18 something happen to him if he dies, but he doesn't start
19 collecting his retirement until he turns age 62.
20 At that time, when he starts -- when he
21 starts collecting it, then obviously we would both have it
22 if we were married, but if we're not married, then I can
23 have a portion of it because the marriage has lasted for 20
24 years, and he has 20 years of service.

percent of the retirement.
That has to be a part of the

I
1
as a military spouse, if you get divorced?
2
A That I am entitled to 50 percent, up to 50
4 divorce decree based on what -- the information that I
5 found and that I understood, and that if it's not then we
6 can't go back and change it. So that would be not to my
7 benefit.
8
Q
And is that essentially your objection to
9 Mr. Nolte's bifurcation petition at this point?
10
A
Absolutely.
Because that's still being
11 litigated, and we haven't come to any final conclusion on
12 that. We don't have all of the information back from the
13 military.
14
Q
Do you have medical insurance through your
15 employer?
16
A
Yes, I do.
17
Q
Does that cover just you?
18
A
Yes, ma'am, it does.
19
Q
Are you and Mr. Nolte beneficiaries of
20 certain life insurance policies that you each have?
21
A
To the best of my knowledge, unless
22 Mr. Nolte has changed the beneficiaries on those policies.
23
Q
unless he's changed them, you still are. Is
24 that your answer?
25
A
Yes. That's my answer. When he left I
10
, ~
I..
j
;
1 still was. If he's changed them he has not notified me of
2 that.
3
Q
Okay.
If, in fact, both of you are still
4 beneficiaries of your life insurance policies, is it your
5 understanding that entry of the divorce decree will
6 extinguish those rights also?
7
A
Yes, it would because I would be listed as
8
spouse, and I am no longer spouse.
And one of those
9 policies -- the point of having that policy also was that
10 if Mr. Nolte dies before he would start collecting the
11 retirement, then I would be entitled to nothing from the
12 military because in order to get that benefit he would have
13 to actually be collecting it. So at the time that he would
14 retire and begin collecting it, then that's when it becomes
15 available to me as well.
16 If he would die before that, then there is
17
no benefit.
So the insurance policy was to cover that
18 time span, if something happened to him in that time span
19 that I would still have some kind of retirement benefit.
20
Q
Are you entitled, as far as you know, Sarah,
21 to any benefits for PX, commissary, exchange, anything like
22 that by virtue of your status as a military spouse?
23
A
It depends upon how long you're married and
24
how long his time of service is.
I'm not really positive
25
about that one way or the other.
Currently I have an I.D.
11
~
1 card.
2 Q What is your understanding of your ability
3 to use the I.D. card if the two of you are divorced?
4 A I would no longer have that I.D. card.
5 MS. MALE: Thank you. Cross.
6 CROSS EXAMINATION
7 BY MS. VERNEY:
8 Q Ms. Heitzman-Nolte, let me make sure I
9 understand your understanding of the military benefits.
10 You would not be entitled to any portion of his military
11 retirement that preexisted to your marriage. Is that your
12 understanding?
13 A It has to overlap. You have 20 years of
14 service overlapping with 20 years of marriage.
15
16
17
Q
A
Q
Okay.
Minimum.
Okay.
From 1990 to 1994 there was a lapse
18 in service, wasn't there?
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
A Right.
Q So those 4 years wouldn't be counted?
A He wasn't collecting points towards
retirement at that point. It's done on a points basis.
Q So if you delete those 4 years, you don't
have 20 years, do you, of being married and overlapping
service?
12
0"
1 A You have to have a 20 year marriage and 20
2 years of service. They don't necessarily have to overlap.
3
4
5
6
7
8
Q
A
Okay.
I am entitled to 50 percent of the
retirement.
Q
And does the 20 years end at your separation
date?
A
No.
9 Q When he left the military in 1990, did he
10 withdraw $30,000.00?
11 A He didn't withdraw $30,000.00. He was
12 given a severance pay. It was not $30,000.00. It was
13 actually more like $24,000.00, and whether that has to be
14 paid back at this point, I do not know. All that would do
15 is they'll take out X amount. If his retirement benefit is
16 going to be $1200.00 a month, then they'll take out -- to
17 pay that back they'll take out like $200.00 out of that,
18 take 200 of it off until that 24,000 is paid back.
19 Q Let me understand, did you correct yourself
20 to say that he couldn't -- he couldn't receive retirement
21 until age 60?
22
23
24
25
A
Q
Sixty-two.
It's not age 60?
A Well, I thought it was 62, but maybe it's
He has to put in his 20 year letter and state that
60.

he's eligible to retire, and at the time that he turns the
age, I'm not a legal expert and I didn't write the laws
regarding this, but I thought it was 62, but maybe it's 60.
Maybe I'm thinking Social Security.
Q Okay. Now, you talked about life insurance
policies. Do you know the cash value of those life
insurance policies?
A I don't get the statements on his policies.
Q They weren't listed in the divorce inventory
that was filed?
A I didn't review that before I came actually.
I know that he has a loan on his policy. I'm paying back
the loan on mine.
Q
And didn't that inventory also indicate who
15 the beneficiary was?
16 A It could have, but I didn't review that for
17 this. And he could have changed it. That was in June.
18 Q Now, you talked about the PX and the
19 commissary. How frequently do you use those benefits?
20 A I probably go to the commissary a couple
21 times a month, and I go to the PX probably once a week.
22 Q And the advantage to that?
23
24
25
A
Q
Price.
It's less expensive.
There's no tax. Isn't that the only
difference?
14
j--
--I:
1 A No. It's less expensive too. The prices
2 are less, and there's no tax.
3 Q Now, you talked about your spousal benefits
4 to his retirement. Do you agree that if he's not
5 receiving retirement, then you're not entitled to --
6 whether you were an ex-spouse or former spouse, you're not
7 entitled to anything?
8 A I don't understand the question.
9
Q
I think you testified that that's why there
10 were life insurances in effect.
11
A
There is no benefit until he starts
12 receiving it.
13
14
Q
That was my question. So you agree that
if he died today before receiving
there is no
15 retirement, you wouldn't be entitled to any survivor
16 benefits?
17 A Ms. Verney, if your husband worked for the
18 State and he died before he started collecting his
19 retirement, you may not get any either. That's just the
20 way the military works, and that's why we have the life
21 insurance policies.
22 Q And so you would be protected in that event
23 if you were still listed as the beneficiary?
24
25
A
But it's listed as spouse and former spouse.
So I don't know. It depends upon how the wording is.

would be protected what?

A Of the life insurance policy?
Q Yes.
A
Q
Yeah.
Okay.
If that hasn't been changed.
And the survivor benefit plan is not
selected until he would actually apply for retirement?
A No, ma'am. That needs to be a part of the
divorce decree. The former spouse's protection act was
very clear that in order for me to be the beneficiary of
or to have the spousal protection act, in order to continue
to receive the retirement, if he dies after he begins to
receive the retirement, I have to be listed at the time
that the divorce decree is entered.

11 A Well, I don't have -- I don't really know.
12 All I know is that l've worked with military pensions

A

Q Would you briefly explain, Mr. Leister, the
type of benefit this is?
A It's what we call a defined benefit plan.
It's a plan under which he's promised a certain benefit in
his particular case to start at age 60 based upon the
retirement points he has accumulated and based upon the pay
then for the job that he's in.
Q Is that a plan that will pay him a monthly
amount once the payments go into pay status?
A
Yes.

6
7
8
9
A
It will never be paid unless there's a
survivor benefit.
Q
All right.
And if there is a survivor
benefit, what happens to the retirement plan?
A
Well, there's three different kinds of
survivor benefits.
He's covered under this reserved
component.
I think initially he had like about 10 or 11
10 years of active service, and then he's been in the reserves
11 since then. So like I mentioned before, his pension,
12 whenever it commences, will be based upon the retirement
13 points, and of course, when you're in active service your
14 365 retirement points a year. Typically in the reserves
15 it's like 75 to 90 or something like that a year.
16 Anyhow, under this pension he's covered
17 under, after completing 20 qualifying years -- and I've
18 been told by the military, I've called someone, and he told
19 me --
20 MS. VERNEY: Objection, hearsay.
21 MS. MALE: Your Honor, any information that
22 Mr. Leister has acquired by virtue of either correspondence
23 or telephone contacts with members of the military would be
24 incident to his general practice in terms of valuing and
25 assessing pension benefits, and it certainly would qualify
21
,~""
~
1 under a number of the hearsay exceptions, including the
2 business record exception. l'd be happy to lay more of a
3 foundation in order to get passed the objection, if
4 necessary.
5 THE COURT: You're not really introducing
6 it for the truth of the statement, aren't you simply saying
7 he normally in the course of his profession relies on this
8 kind of information to value pensions?
9
10
11
12
13
MS. MALE: That's correct, Your Honor.
THE COURT:
You wouldn't be admitting it
for the truth of the statement?
MS. MALE:
THE COURT:
That's correct, Your Honor.
With that limitation, I will
14 overrule the objection.
15
16 BY MS. MALE:
MS. MALE:
Thank you, Your Honor.
17
Q
Would you please continue, Mr. Leister?
18 A Yes. What I was saying is that as of April
19 of this year he had what is called 19 qualifying years.
20 At the completion of 20 qualifying years he can elect two
21 different survivor benefits. He can elect that if he dies
22 then there's an immediate benefit payable to the surviving
23 spouse or he can make another election that if he dies
24 before age 60, there would be a spousal benefit, but it
25 wouldn't be payable until he would have been aged 60. See

one is immediate. The other one starts at age 60.
And then the other option is to not elect a
survivor benefit to him until he's age 60. I think right
now he's about 46 years of age. So roughly 14 years from
now when the pension would go into pay status, then he
could elect a survivor benefit also. If he didn't elect
option B or E upon completion of 20 qualifying years.
Q I want to make sure that I understand this
point, Mr. Leister. Currently Mr. and Mrs. Nolte are
still married. They have not been divorced. If they are
divorced -- excuse me. If they are still married at the
time that he puts in the 20 year election, does he have the
right to have an immediate benefit to her as the surviving
spouse?
A
Q
Yes.
Okay.
And then would he also have the
right to elect the payments -- the survivor benefit to
start when he reaches age 60?
A Yes.
Q What happens to that survivor benefit if the
parties are divorced before he makes that election?
A Well, there isn't any survivor benefit.
THE COURT: I'm sorry, I didn't hear that.
THE WITNESS: There is not any survivor
25 benefit if there is not a spouse, and if there is not

1 Q Could you explain briefly the difference
2 between a qualified and a nonqualified plan?
3 A Well, a qualified plan is one that is
4 qualified in Section 401(e)in the Internal Revenue Code,
5 and a qualified plan must permit the use of a Qualified
6 Domestic Relations Order to accomplish a deferred
7 distribution. And a nonqualified plan is not subject to
8 the Internal Revenue Code, and you don't -- it won't honor
9 a Domestic Relations Order relating to a deferred
10 distribution.
11
Q
Now, as that relates to this particular
12 case, if Mr. Nolte has a nonqualified plan through the
13 Lutheran Brotherhood will Mrs. Nolte be able to receive any
14 portion of that benefit through a Domestic Relations Order?
15 A No, not under the unqualified plan.
16
Q
If the Court enters a divorce decree with a
17 reservation of economic interests, will that extinguish her
18 right under that plan?
19
A
Well, I don't know what you mean.
I don't
20 know what you mean by that.
21 Q Is there any survivor component to the
22 qualified or the nonqualified plans, if you know?
23 A Well, I am almost -- I'm certain I have
24 information concerning the nonqualified plan in my file,
25 and I don't know. I don't know if there would be a

9 CROSS EXAMINATION
10 BY MS. VERNEY:
11
Q
Mr. Leister, I want to make sure I
12
understand what you testified to.
Mr. Nolte wouldn't be
13
entitled to any military retirement until he's put in 20
14
years of service?
15
16
A
That's right.
Q
And was it your testimony that he only, as
17 of April of 2002, had 19 qualifying years?
18
A
That's what I was told, and I wrote to the
19 military retirement system to have that confirmed in
20 writing, and I didn't get an answer yet.
21
Q
So by the information you have now, he's not
22 entitled to any retirement until next April?
23
24 yes.
25
A
That's when he vests. We call it vesting,
Q
And so it just goes to include also that

Mrs. Nolte presently has no rights to any retirement,
including the survivor benefit election; is that correct?
A Right now, that's right.
Q And so it would -- it would be to her
advantage to drag this divorce out until April of 2003?
A It would be to her advantage to drag it out?
Well, it might be to her advantage to if she were
interested at all
if there's going to be any kind of a
deferred distribution where she might be provided survivor
benefits, it would be worthwhile that that be done. And
that could be done now, I think.
Q Okay. Nothing prevents a Divorce Master
from taking into consideration both the military pension
value and this nonqualified plan, and issuing an order
disregarding those to Ms. Nolte, but to substitute the
value to Ms. Nolte; isn't that correct?
A I think -- I don't quite understand your
question.
Q
Well, I think you testified first that --
Mr. Nolte, his retirement right
correct me if I'm wrong.
now has no value?
A
Q
That's not correct.
It does have a value.
Okay.
What value does it have?
If you
A
I haven't valued it yet, but obviously there
27
, "",
1 is a good probability that he'll earn enough points, as of
2 April of 2003, to vest, and there's a good probability
3 he'll live to age 60 to collect the monthly pension, and
4 that has a value. I mean if you went to an insurance
5 company and say I want to buy an annuity now of 200 or
6 $400.00, whatever, you start at 60, they would charge you
7 for that.

Q
Right.
But when you value this pension,
are you going to value it as of the date that you receive
the information?
A I'm going to value it as of the date that I
do the evaluation yes.
Q
And if that date was today what value would
it have?
A
I can't tell you that it would have a value.
I mean I can do it on the assumption that he's going to
have enough of retirement points as of April of 2003 to
have the 20 qualifying years. Then I can calculate what
the pension would be at age 60 based just on those 20
years, and then I can determine the worth for a male 46 of
a certain dollar pension to start at age 60.
Q Are you also aware that Mr. Nolte withdrew
$30,000.00?
A
Yes, I am.
Q
Okay.
Not 24,000?

by the military?
A Again, that's one thing I went to the
That information would be verified
military about, about the payment and the amount, when it
was paid, and how this will effect his monthly pension
under the military retirement system.
Q And again, if you had to value it as of
today, the military pension, does it have any value?
A
Q
Yes.
What is it?
You're telling me you don't
15 know that?
16

I didn't --

Q

Yes.
And that he's going to continue service?
Yes.
At some point?

into account because again what I value is only based on
the retirement points earned during the marriage.
I believe his active service started like a
year or so before they were married. So I won't take into
account those retirement points, and I will only take the
retirement points up until the date of separation. So I
will calculate the portion of the monthly pension just
attributable to those retirement points.
Q And you're also aware that there was a four
year break in service; is that correct?
A
I saw that.
Yes.
12 Q Okay. Now, are you familiar with the 20
13 year 20 year rule for former spouse's benefits?
14 A Somewhat, yes.
15
Q
And can you tell me what that is?
16 A Well, you have to have been married 20 years
17 and be in the service for 20 years.
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
Q
And Mr. Nolte doesn't have that 20 years
right now?
A That's right.
Q And in fact, the 20 years also for the
former spouse, is that during the 20 years of military
service?
A
Q
That's my understanding.
So the break of 4 years service and the
30
-
J_
-
1 separation date only gives Mrs. Nolte 16 years?
2 A That's right.

25
Q
And under the survivor benefit plans, is she
entitled to that benefit with only 16 years?
A Oh, yes. Through the survivor benefit, to
have benefits paid to an alternate payee from a military
retirement system, the only thing that is required is that
there be a 10 year military service and a 10 year marriage
overlapping. The 20, 20, does not apply. The 20, 20
applies to other commissary benefits and health benefits.
Q Okay. So under the 10, 10 rule, is it your
opinion that Mrs. Nolte would qualify at this point?
A Yes.
Q But the retirement has not vested?
A
Q
That's right.
In your language?
A That's right.
Q So again if Mr. Nolte died today, God
forbid, Mrs. Nolte would not be entitled to anything?
A Well, if he died today there -- and there
were deferred distribution, in fact she would never get the
benefit.
Q
Okay.
My question that you had trouble
understanding, let me rephrase it. If you have a value of
a military pension that you're going to arrive at, you're
31

5

~
going to have a value of this nonqualified plan, and let's
assume a divorce decree is entered, nothing prevents the
Divorce Master from still equitably distributing the assets
that include the values of those two retirements; is that
correct?
A
Q
That's correct.
Well, that's true.
Okay.
Even if a divorce decree was entered
and she may not have any legal rights to those benefits if
a decree of divorce is entered, prior to equitable
distribution?
A
will you say that again?
THE COURT: Maybe it would help, Mr.
13 Leister, if we explained that the proceeding today is on a
14 motion to bifurcate the divorce so that the divorce decree
15 could be entered at this time, but the equitable
16 distribution decree could be months or even years down the
17 road. So that's the context in which Ms. Verney is asking
18 the question.
19

THE WITNESS:
Can that be done?
BY MS. VERNEY:
Q
Yes.
A Yes, that could be done.

economic rights would still be protected through the
equitable distribution?

A It could be except she could lose out on
having survivor benefits.
Q But you will have a value on that, won't
you?
A
I will have a value on that?
Well, I can
value survivor benefits, but if she's not going to be
provided any survivor benefits, I don't quite -- I will
have a value of the survivor benefits.
Well, I guess --
let me put it this way.
If we're talking about say now April of next
year when he presumably will have 20 qualifying service
years, at that time he can elect certain survivor benefits,
and -- and if he's married he can elect the spouse
benefits. If he's not married he can't elect those, and he
gets a window.
He gets a letter within 30 or 60 days that
he has 30 days to elect it, and if that's not exercised, he
can never elect a survivor benefit.
So that's -- that is
19 the option, Band E, the ones that will go into effect if
20 he died before he was age 60. He would still have the
21 opportunity at age 60 to elect survivor benefits.
22 Q But he doesn't get that election by law
23 until April of 2003?
24
25
A
Q
That's right.
Okay.

A On completion of 20 qualifying years, yes.
Q Okay. Do you know how the army -- what
document the army uses or any military -- branch of
military service uses to payout that retirement? And
maybe --
A I don't know what you mean.
Q I'll give you a hint. Is it the divorce
decree or is it a Qualified Domestic Relations Order that
the military would make out certain payments?
A Oh, you mean -- now you're talking about
deferred distribution where some payments of the military
retirement system --
Q Yes, sir.
A
Basically it's a Domestic Relations Order.
MS. VERNEY: That's all I have.
THE COURT: Ms. Male.
MS. MALE: Thank you.
REDIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MS. MALE:
Q Mr. Leister, the military pension that you
have described here, the defined benefit plan, is this a
similar plan to the State employees plans where members
must complete a certain number of years of service, at
which point they are eligible to have payments made to
them?

A
Yes.
2 Q And does the fact that Mr. Nolte right now
3 -- does the fact that he hasn't yet reached the 20 years
4 for electing the surviVor benefit change the fact that his
5 pension benefit has a value currently?
A
Q
No.
Okay.
Is it the present value of that
benefit that we have asked you to assess for divorce
purposes?
A Yes.
Q And if, in fact, we have to defer the
distribution, is there any way, other than the survivor
benefit process that you have described, to protect
Mrs. Nolte's ability to collect that?
A
Q
I wouldn't know how.
If Mr. Nolte were to be divorced, which he's
17 asking the Court to do, to enter a divorce decree now, and
18 have the economic issues reserved later, if he remarries,
19 what effect, if any, does the remarriage and the new spouse
20 have on Mrs. Nolte's survivor benefit?
21
A
Well, I think he would be eligible to name
22 her as the beneficiary of the survivor benefit, and you can
23 only have one survivor benefit. I mean survivor benefit
24 for one person.
25
Q
Okay.

Q
But if he's not able to cover Mrs. Nolte
currently, and he remarries and has a new spouse, and he
names that new spouse, will that eliminate Mrs. Nolte's
ability to collect that retirement benefit?
A To collect surviving spouse benefit, yes.
Q Surviving spouse benefits?
A Yeah, she can still share in the monthly
pension when it started, if there's a Domestic Relations
Order put into effect.
MS. MALE: Thank you, Mr. Leister.

1 Q Again, sir, 1'm not sure you understand.
2 We're asking to bifurcate the divorce today by entering a
3 divorce order, but to reserve all economic issues for
4
consideration in front of the Divorce Master.
And, again,
5 my question is, all of the economic issues that Mrs. Nolte
6 may have, is it your understanding they could still be
7 dealt with in equitable distribution?
8 A All except perhaps survivor benefits. I
9 mean, yes, you can share in the monthly pension, and I
10 don't know if there is any survivor benefits under this
11 nonqualified Lutheran Brotherhood plan, but if there is,
12 she would be precluded from benefiting from those.
13
Q
But, again, in equitable distribution,
14 wouldn't the value of those benefits be considered by the
15 Master in his ultimate distribution?
16 A Yes. If survivor benefits were going to be
17 provided, I would value those. I would value his pension
18 and all so that all that information would be available to
19 divy up the assets, yes.
20 Q And again, right now Mr. Nolte is not
21 entitled to any survivor benefits; is that correct?
22 A Right now he cannot elect any survivor
23 benefits, yes.

Q
A
Can you tell me why?
I'm a military policeman, and my specialty's
3 in short supply in the military, and they put stop laws on

Q
A
2009.
Now, are there exceptions to that order?
The only exception would be if there was
10 some sort of handicap or injury in which I couldn't perform
11 the duty anymore.
12 Q And then you would be discharged from the
13 army?

A
Yes.
MS. VERNEY: That's all I have.
THE COURT: You are in the army reserves?
THE WITNESS: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: And what is your rank?
THE WITNESS: I'm a colonel, sir.
THE COURT: Let's see, Ms. Male.
21 MS. MALE: Thank you, Your Honor.
22 CROSS EXAMINATION
23 BY MS. MALE:
24
Q
You had been on active duty at some point
25 during the year 2002; is that correct?
7
.
I
~.
,-.
~'-~ ~ r f
1
A
That's correct.
2
Q
And currently you are -- are you just on
3 reserve duty?
4
A
Correct.
Q
A
Q
A
Q
any time in
A
Q
13 to work for C.J. Nolte Company in your civilian job and do
14 your reserve training once a month?
15
A
As far as I know right now, that's the way
16 it will be.
17
Q
Now, you testified, Mr. Nolte, that you
18 currently are paying support to your wife of $882.00 per
19 month?
20
A
Correct.
21
Q
And you are aware, are you not, sir, that
22 those payments, because they are made subject to a court
23 order, are treated as alimony for federal income tax
24 purposes and deductible to you; is that right?
25
A
Yes.
8
9 Q You indicated that you want the case
10 bifurcated so that you can get remarried; is that correct?
11
12
13
14
15
16
,'c,,_'
17
18
" ~~
j.
1 Q And that tax deduction for those payments
2 will continue for you whether you are remarried or not;
3 isn't that correct?
4 A As far as I know, yes.
5 Q The fact that you would get remarried
6 doesn't change the fact that you can deduct those payments
7 on your tax return, does it?
8
A
As far as I know, that's correct.
A Yes, ma'am.
Q Have you set a wedding date?
A Not yet, ma'am.
Q Are you currently living with the woman that
you intend to marry?
A
No, I'm not.
Q
And is there any type of a deadline that you
have with respect to a remarriage?
For example, are you
19 expecting a child with this woman?
20
A
No, I'm not.
21 Q So there is no deadline coming up that you
22 need to meet in order to be remarried; is that right?
23
24 no.
25
A
Not that I -- as I understand the question,
MS. MALE: Nothing else, Your Honor.

REDIRECT EXAMINATION
3 BY MS. VERNEY:
4 Q Mr. Nolte, the deployability for the
5 reserves the last time you were deployed to active duty,
6 how much notice did you receive?
7
8
A
Q
A week.
The conditions that led to that deployment,
9 do similar conditions exist now?

24
25
A
They're actually more heightened now than
they were at that time.
Q And why is that?
A Because of the current situation in Iraq.
Q And you did mention in your direct
examination that military police only received that stop
order?
A There are other specialties. Military
police is one of the first. Engineers, special forces.
There are some other specialties in the military that has
the stop laws.
Q And if you are deployed, do you know, would
it be back to Washington as before?
A Probably not.
Q Where would you be deployed?
A I could only guess, but it would probably be
10
-
~~
~>r
1 overseas.
2
Q
And what do military police do during a war
3 action?
4
A
My specialty is internal resettlement, and
5 what we do is we run prisoner war camps, detention camps,
6 and resettlement camps for refugees.
7
Q
Now, in your response to Ms. Male regarding
8 the deadline through your marriage, is there a deadline in
9 your mind?
10 A We would like to be able to file joint taxes
11 this year. So in my mind that would be a deadline.
12 Q And in the event that you were deployed,
13 would you like to get married before the deployment?
14 A Yes, I would.
15
16
MS. VERNEY: That's all I have.
THE COURT: Ms. Male.
17 RECROSS EXAMINATION
18 BY MS. MALE:
19 Q Mr. Nolte, the one week notice of your
20 deployment to Washington that you've just testified about,
21 that was a voluntary deployment, was it not?
22
A
That's correct.
23 Q So the one week notice really doesn't mean
24 anything. You volunteered for that duty; isn't that
25 correct?
11
1 A In that case, but there were other one week
2 notices at the same time that were not voluntary.
3
4 voluntary?
5
6
Q
In your particular case, however, it was
A
Q
Correct.
And just so I understand your testimony,
7 regardless of your counsel's questions, you are under
8 absolutely no notice from the government about being
9 deployed anywhere at this point; isn't that correct?
10 A That is correct.
11 Q Your unit is being disbanded, the unit to
12 which you are currently assigned?
13
A
It will be deactivated in 2003.
However,
14 they brought some units back in Desert Storm that had
15 already been deactivated. October 2003.
16
Q
You've indicated that one of the other
17 reasons you wanted to get divorced is to file a joint tax
18 return with your new spouse. You have a house; is that
19 correct, sir?
20
21
22
23
A
Q
A
Q
Yes.
And a mortgage?
Yes.
And you, therefore, have an ability to take
24 a deduction for your mortgage interest on your tax return;
25 is that correct?
12
."",.....~ ~".~
1
A
Yes.
2 Q So in addition to the alimony deduction that
3 you already have, regardless of whether you would be
4 married or not, you also have a favorable tax situation by
5 virtue of owning your own home; is that correct?
6
A
I have a home that I can deduct the interest
7 on, yes.
8 Q And neither of those are contingent on your
9 remarriage; is that correct?
10 A That's correct.
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
MS. MALE: No further questions, Your Honor.
MS. VERNEY: Just one, Your Honor.
REDIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MS. VERNEY:
Q Your tax advantage, is that -- well, explain
to me why you think there's a tax advantage to remarrying
and filing jointly.
A Well, I would be filing single if I did not
19 remarry, and there's a there's higher tax burdens. I'm
20 in a higher tax bracket. Those types of things.
21 MS. VERNEY: That's all I have.
THE COURT:
MS. MALE:

1. Admitted. By way of further answer, the order speaks for itself.
2. Admitted. By way of further answer, the order speaks for itself.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. After reasonable investigation, Defendant is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this averment, and therefore denies this averment.
By way of further answer, Defendant believes and therefore avers Plaintiff testified at the
bifurcation hearing that he and his paramour had not set a wedding date. Additionally, even
assuming, arguendo, that the court had granted Plaintiff's bifurcation petition, Defendant would
have been entitled to fIle an appeal to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, which appeal would have
stayed entry of the divorce decree. Plaintiff therefore would not have been able to marry anyone
because he and Defendant would still have been married.

6. After reasonable investigation, Defendant is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this averment, and therefore denies this averment.
By way of further answer, Defendant incorporates by reference the averments set forth in the
preceding paragraph.
7. Defendant admits that the parties have lived separate and apart since 2000.
Defendant denies any implication that the length of the separation is attributable to Defendant.
By way of further answer, Defendant is the party who filed the economic claims and the motion
for appointment of the master, thereby moving the case forward even though she is not the
plaintiff in this matter.
8. This paragraph states a prayer for relief to which no responsive pleading is
required.
Wherefore, Defendant respectfully requests the Court to deny Plaintiff's motion for
reconsideration.

ANSWER TO MOTION TO DISMISS OR ALTERNATIVELY, CONTINUE HEARING
ON PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR BIFURCATION
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff/Petitioner, Carl R. Nolte, by and through his attomey,
Jacqueline M. Verney, Esquire and files his answer to Defendant/Respondent's Motion to
Dismiss or, Alternatively, Continue Hearing on Plaintiffs Petition for Bifurcation and in support
thereof presents the following:
I. ~ 15. Admitted.
16. Denied. It is denied that entry ofa divorce decree would extingui~h Wife's rights
governing military retirement benefits. By way of further answer, Husband's Military retirement
is not available to either party presently because Husband has not retired. Upon retirement,
Husband has the option to elect a Survivor Benefit package. At that time, the survivor would be
identified. It is only available upon Husband's retirement from the military.
17. Denied. It is denied that judicial economy will be served by continuing the
bifurcation hearing. By way of further answer, Husband and Wife have been separated since
February 23, 2000, a period of two years 9 months. Further delay in the entry ofa divorce decree
will prejudice Hnsband in his life plans.

I. BACKGROUND
The parties were married on September 6,1980 in New Yprk. The parties separated on
February 23, 2000 and have been living separate and apart since that time. On June 2, 2000,
Husband filed a divorce complaint alleging irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Acceptance
of service by Carol Lindsay, Esquire was dated June 13, 2000.
Carol Lindsay, Esquire filed an Answer and Counterclaim on June 19,2001 raising the
economic claims of equitable distribution, alimony and counsel fees.
By Order dated June 7, 2001, Husband pays child support in the amount of $750.00 per
month and Wife receives $540.00 per month in spousal support. Wife filed an appeal from that
Order that has been postponed generalIf, pending the return of Husband from active military
duty. Husband is a salesman for CJ Nolte Co, a family owned business, and also is a Lieutenant
Colonel in the Army reserve. He is presently ~ve duty in Washington, DC. He is expected
to retum to civilian employment in June, 2002.

legal fees. Wife switched counsel which has resulted in additional legal fees for which Husband
does not believe he should be responsible. Husband has made a reasonable offer conceming
alimony, which Wife has rejected
7. Items in Dispute:
All marital property.
8. Marital Debt:
See attached Inventory and Appraisement.
9. Proposed Resolution:
Husband proposed a 50% of his Lutheran Brotherhood retirements and 50% of his total
Army pension, waiver of Wife's retirement. He has offered alimony in the amount of $500.00
per month for several years. Although not legally obliged, he has also offered a generous
contribution to his son's college tuition, expenses and spending money.
Since retaining new counsel, Wife has not responded to the proposed settlement offer.

UNE OF CREDIT ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Important Information About Your Account Charges:
We compute the FINANCE CHARGE on your account by applying the periodic rate to the "average claily balance" of your account (including current
transactions). To get the "average daily balance," we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new loans, and subtract any payments,
credits, unpaid finance charges, and unpaid insurance premiums. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and
divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance."
If a "finance charge adjustment" is shown on this statement, we computed this portion of the FINANCE CHARGE by multiplying the principal amount to which
the adjustment applies by the periodic rate which applied in the billing cycle for which the adjustment was made and by the number of days for which the
adjustment was made.
Billing Rights Summary

If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction on your statement, write us on a separate sheet at the address

(2) The dollar amount of the suspected error.
(3) Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are unsure about.
You do not have to pay any amount in question while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the amounts on your statement that are not in
question. While we investigate your question, we cannot report you as delinquent or take any action to collect the amount in question.
This is a summary of your rights; a full statement of your rights and the bank's responsibilities under the Federal Fair Credit Billing Act will both be sent to you
