VII. PROPOSED RESOLUTION OF ECONOMIC ISSUES.
Plaintiff has physical custody of the children and no longer resides in the marital home. Defendant currently
resides in the couple's rental property, which is adjacent to the marital home. Defendant, after one year of
separation, chose to move into the rental property although had already purchased an alternate residence.
Plaintiff desires that the two properties should be sold and net proceeds divided. If Defendant wishes to retain
possession of 48 N. East St property he must sell property at 46 N. East St and assume the loss of proceeds in
the sale. (All equity is in the 48 N. East St. property).
,
Defendant removed marital property desired at time of departure from the marital home. Defendant
removed most marital property worth any monetary value. Nonetheless, Plaintiff requests personal possessions
to be divided as currently held in possession.
Plaintiff would like to retain title and possession of the 1994 Chevrolet Lumina APV Van as well as the
1997 Chevrolet Lumina Sedan. Defendant may retain the 1994 Chevrolet S I 0 pickup. The 1994 Chevrolet
Van as well as the 1994 Chevrolet SIO pickup are both paid off. Plaintiff has been paying off the loan on the
1997 Chevrolet Sedan since the date of separation and would continue to .do so.
Plaintiff requests that Defendant's pension be divided 50% to Plaintiff, 50% to Defendant. Plaintiff would
retain 100% interest in her pension benefits, which are of substantially less value than Defendants.
.
Debts would be assumed by parties as currently being paid, with joint debts to be refinanced into assuming
party's name immediately.

Certified General Appraiser
GA-000014-L
PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the Market
Value of the subject property as of November 10, 2000.
Market Value, as defined by the courts, is the most
probable price estimated in terms of money which a property
will bring if exposed for sale in the open market, allowing a
reasonable time finding a purchaser who buys with knowledge of
all the uses to which it is adapted and for which it is
capable of being used.
Frequently, it is referred to as the price at which a
willing seller would sell and a willing buyer would buy,
neither being under abnormal pressure.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and Best Use is defined by the Appraisal
Terminology and Handbook, published by the Appraisal
Institute, as "the most profitable likely use to which a
property can be put". The opinion of such use may be based on
the highest and most profitable continuous use to which the
property 1S adapted and needed, or likely to be in demand, in
the reasonable near future.
However, elements affecting value that depend upon events
or a combination of occurrences which, while within the realm
of possibility, are not fairly shown to be reasonably
probable, should be excluded from consideration. Also, if the
intended use is dependent on an uncertain act of another
person, the intention cannot be considered.
Based on
neighborhood,
of the subject
the above definition and after seeing the site,
and area, it is my opinion that the present use
is its Highest and Best Use.

THE COST APPROACH
The Cost Approach to value is based on the principle of
substitution, which proposes that an informed buyer will pay
no more than the cost of providing a substitute property with
similar utility. '
In estimating the cost of providing a substitute, the
following functions are completed. . The cost of the
improvements, as if new, is estimated. Loss of value due to
physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and external
depreciation, if applicable, is deducted to represent the cost
of a substitute depreciated. The land and the value of
depreciated site improvements is added to obtain a value
indication of the real estate.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
In arriving at this conclusion of the value of the
subject property, the appraiser made a survey of properties
that have sold in the area of the subject property.

CORRELATION
Correlation may be defined as "the bringing together of
parts in a proper relationship." The parts of this appraisal
report are the following approaches to value your appraiser
used:
Value Indicated by Cost Approach
Value Indicated by Sales Comparison Approach
$58,000
$59,000
These approaches are representative of the market value
of the subject property. I have carefully reexamined each
step in each method, and I believe the conclusions accurately
reflect the attitude of typical purchasers of this type
property in this neighborhood. It is my belief that this
reexamination has confirmed the original conclusions.
The Cost Approach will result in an excellent estimate if
all elements are figured accurately, because no prudent person
will pay more for a property than the cost to produce a
substitute property with equal desirability and utility.
Purchasers of the type of dwelling typical of the subject
property are more concerned with amenities than with
hypothetical replacement of the property. The value of the
cost approach is not disregarded, but given less weight
because more errors in judgement can be made in this approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach was based on several recent
sales of properties similar to that of the subject, all of
which are located in the same general area. The adjusted
sales prices are most consistent under comparison. This
approach is the most reliable because it reflects the
reactions of typical buyers and sellers in the market.
Therefore, as a result of this appraisal and analysis, it
is this appraiser's considered judgement and opinion that the
Market Value of the subject property, as of November 10, 2000,
is:
FIFTY-NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS
$59,000

PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the Market
Value of the. subject property as of November 10, 2000.
Market Value, as defined by the courts, is the most
probable price estimated in terms of money which a property
will bring if exposed for sale in the open market, allowing a
reasonable time finding a purchaser who buys with knowledge of
all the uses to which it is adapted and for which it is
capable of being used.
Frequently, it is referred to as the
willing seller would sell and a willing
neither being under abnormal pressure.
price at which a
buyer would buy,
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and Best Use is defined by the Appraisal
Terminology and Handbook, published by the Appraisal
Institute, as "the most profitable likely use to which a
property can be put". The opinion of such use may be based on
the highest and most profitable continuous use to which the
property ~s adapted and needed, or likely to be in demand, in
the reasonable near future.
However, elements affecting value that depend upon events
or a combination of occurrences which, while within the realm
of possibility, are not fairly shown to be reasonably
probable, should be eXCluded from consideration. Also, if the
intended use is dependent on an uncertain act of another
person, the intention cannot be considered.
Based on
neighborhood,
of the subject
the above definition and after seeing the site,
and area, it is my opinion that the present use
is its Highest and Best Use.

THE COST APPROACH
The Cost Approach to value is based on the principle of
substitution, which proposes that an informed buyer will pay
no more than the cost of providing a substitute property with
similar utility.
In estimating the cost of providing a substitute, the
following . functions are completed. The cost of the
improvements, as if new, is estimated. Loss of value due to
physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and external
depreciation, if applicable, is deducted to represent the cost
of a substitute depreciated. The land and the value of
depreciated site improvements is added to obtain a value
indication of the real estate.

are the following approaches to value your appraiser
Value Indicated by Cost Approach
Value Indicated by Sales Comparison Approach
$62,000
$57,000
These approaches are representative of the market value
of the subject property. I have carefully reexamined each
step in each method; and I believe the conclusions accurately
reflect the attitude of typical purchasers of this type
property in this neighborhood. It is my belief that this
reexamination has confirmed the original conclusions.
The Cost Approach will result in an excellent estimate if
all elements are figured accurately, because no prudent person
will pay more for a property than the cost to produce a
substitute property with equal desirability and utility.
Purchasers of the type of dwelling typical of the subject
property are more concerned with amenities than with
hypothetical replacement of .the property. The value of the
cost approach is not disregarded, but given less weight
because more errors in judgement can be made in this approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach was based on .several recent
sales of properties similar to that of the subject, all of
which are located in the same general area. The adjusted
sales prices are most consistent .under comparison. This
approach is the most reliable because it reflects the
reactions of typical buyers and sellers in the market.

is this appraiser's considered judgement and opinion that the

RE:
Sheri Gossard vs. Larry Gossard
No. 00 - 4656 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Kayer and Mr. McKnight:
Mr. Kayer returned the document regarding certification of discovery on February
28,2001, indicating that discovery is complete. Mr. McKnight has not returned a
certification document; however, I am going to assume that there are no outstanding
discovery matters which need to be addressed in this case and that we will be able to
proceed with a directive for pretrial statements.
A divorce complaint was filed on June 29, 2000, raising grounds for divorce of
irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. No economic claims were raised in the
complaint. On February 22, 2001, the Defendant filed a petition for economic relief
raising the economic claims of equitable distribution and counsel fees and expenses. No
claim has been raised by either party for alimony.
In accordance with P.R.C.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing each counsel to file a
pretrial statement on or before Tuesday, May 29,2001. Upon receipt of the pretrial
statements, I will immediately schedule a pre-hearing conference with counsel to discuss
Ib ,,,.

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

FAILURE TO FILE PRETRIAL STATEMENTS AS DIRECTED
BY THE MASTER MAY RESULT IN THE MASTER'S

the parties.
In the hearing room are the Plaintiff, Sheri

Larry Gossard, and his counsel Marcus A. McKnight, III.
This action was commenced by the filing of a
divorce complaint on June 29, 2000, raising grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. No
economic claims were raised in the complaint.
On February 22, 2001, the Defendant filed a
petition for economic relief raising the economic claims of
equitable distribution and counsel fees, costs and expenses.
The Master has been provided affidavits of
consent and waivers of notice of intention to request entry of
divorce decree and Defendant's marriage counseling affidavit
signed by the parties and dated today.
The affidavits and
waivers will be filed by the Master's office with the
Prothonotary's office and the divorce will be able to proceed

morning to review the draft for typographical errors, make
any corrections as necessary, and then sign the agreement
affirming the terms of settlement as stated on the record at
this time.
