3. PERSONAL PROPERTY. The parties declare and agree that they have, prior to the
execution of this Post-Nuptial Agreement (the "Agreement"), voluntarily agreed to divide and
have physically divided and distributed between themselves all of the parties' personal property
which they acquired either before or during their marriage, except as noted below, whether or not
said property is or would be deemed to be marital property under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code

years ago and Husband moved from the marital residence on August 15, 2009. During the
period of time that Husband had exclusive possession and use of the marital residence he paid

Both parties agree to cooperate fully and participate in the preparation; marketing; and
sale of the marital residence as necessary and neither party shall be unreasonable in the process
nor shall he or she in any way prevent or delay the sale of the marital residence. It is specifically
agreed that Wife shall take the lead in communicating with the professionals involved in the sale
of the marital residence and Wife's decisions shall control on any disputed issues that arise
throughout the process.
If at any time either party should fail to contribute his or her respective portion of the
expenses required for the marital residence pending its sale, five (5) days' notice of the
deficiency shall be given to the breaching party. If the breaching party fails to cure the default
within five (5) days of the date the notice postmarked, then the other party shall have the right at
his or her election to make the payment for the mortgage or other expense. If either party must
make any payments for the mortgage or other expenses related to the marital residence that are
the obligation of the other party this Agreement, then the paying party shall be entitled to

shall be made by direct payment at a rate of $500.00 per month plus six percent (6%) per annum
interest until the obligation is paid.

parties agree to terminate their marriage by mutual consent and each agrees to execute and
deliver promptly concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the necessary affidavits,
waivers and consents in the Divorce Action.
13. TAX IMPLICATIONS AND MATTERS. The parties agree that they shall
hereinafter file separate income tax returns. Because Husband had exclusive possession of the
marital residence for more than two years prior to it being listed for sale, it is specifically agreed

expenses related to the marital residence as deductions on his income tax returns.
The parties agree that in the event it is determined that there is any future tax liability of
the parties, which liability relates to any year the parties were married and filed jointly, then in

and in full and final settlement and satisfaction of all claims and demands that they may now

ANSWER TO PETITION TO ENFORCE POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Stephen J. Overmiller, by and through his counsel, Linda
A. Clotfelter, Esquire, who responds to Petitioner's Petition to Enforce Post-Nuptial Agreement
as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Petitioner was to receive
certain items but it is denied that Respondent was deficient in any way in meeting his obligations
per the parties' Marital Settlement Agreement ("MSA" ). It is specifically denied that
Respondent did not give Petitioner all of the photos on computer files. Petitioner acknowledged
in correspondence that she has the photos since 2004 which was the year the parties first
obtained a digital camera. She sought the computer files of photos of years prior to 2004 but all
that exists from that time are some video stills that were delivered to her with the 2004 to present
photos. There are no other data files of photos to be delivered to Petitioner. Her request is
impossible to meet and must be denied with attorney's fees granted to Respondent due to the
frivolousness of her request.
It is also denied that the personal property items designated to Petitioner in the MSA
were to include each and every item of decor that the parties owned individually or jointly. In
further answer hereof, Petitioner received all the decorations she requested including the
Longaberger Baskets and Boyd's Bear Collection as well as those she removed from the
residence when she moved three (3) years ago. Additional items were also given to Petitioner
voluntarily by Respondent subsequent to her move and prior to the execution of the MSA and
most recently she was given the remaining decorations subsequent to the execution of the MSA.
It must be noted that Respondent's non-marital property gifted to him or obtained by him
subsequent to the date of separation of the parties would not be included in any items to be
delivered to Petitioner. Respondent has previously requested that Petitioner give notice of the
items she feels she is missing, and to date, she has not done that. Again - Petitioner's request is
frivolous and it must be denied with attorney's fees awarded to Respondent.
4. Denied. It is specifically denied that Respondent has failed in any way to provide
the requisite home decorations to Petitioner. See Response to paragraph three, above. Strict
proof of the allegations of this paragraph is demanded at trial.
5. Denied. It is denied that Respondent has failed in any way to provide copies of
the requisite photos in the form of computer files. In further answer hereof, Respondent has
provided to Petitioner copies of ALL the pertinent computer files including video stills. The
photo files she seeks predating 2004 do not exist. There are no other data files of photos to be
delivered to Petitioner. Her request is impossible to meet and must be denied with attorney's
fees granted to Respondent due to the frivolousness of her request.
6. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Petitioner requested that
the photographs be produced but it is denied that the production of those photographs did not
take place. In further answer hereof, Respondent delivered ALL of the photographs stored on
computer files to Petitioner. Petitioner's request is ludicrous as she seeks photo files that do not
exist. Thus, strict proof of the allegations of this paragraph is demanded at trial.
7. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted only that the terms of the
Agreement speak for themselves. Any implication therein that Respondent should in any way be
required to pay attorneys fees and costs for the filing of Petitioner's frivolous Petition are
specifically denied and strict proof of the allegations of this paragraph are demanded at trial. In
fact, Respondent should be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees for having to respond and
defend this frivolous Petition.
8. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that concurrence was sought
but it is denied that concurrence was necessary as Respondent previously met the requests and as
such, Petitioner's Petition to Enforce MSA was not necessary.
9. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Judge Bayley executed the
Divorce Decree but it is denied that he is the only Judge that has dealt with this family and their
issues. In further answer hereof, Judge Ebert has heard this families issues regarding child
custody.
WHEREFORE, Respondent, Stephen J. Overmiller, respectfully requests that this court
enter an Order as follows:
a. Dismissing Petitioner's Petition to enforce MSA;
b. Denying Petitioner's request for attorney's fees, costs and expenses;
C. Awarding Respondent reasonable attorney's fees and costs in the sum of $500.00
for having to prepare this response and appear before the court on Petitioner's
frivolous Petition; and
d. Granting such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.
