MR. SCHERER:
1. The parties own real estate located at 1602 Newville
Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, which was the marital residence.
The parties believe that the approximate fair market value of
the real estate is $120,000.00 and a lien exists on the real
estate with a payoff of approximately $58,500.00 leaving
equity of approximately $61,500.00. Wife shall prepare and
present to husband a deed and husband shall convey all of his
right, title and interest in the marital real estate to wife
within 10 days of the presentation of the deed. Wife shall be
solely responsible to pay all liens, encumbrances, and
assessments which presently exist against the property and she
shall indemnify and hold husband harmless for all future
obligations in connection with the ownership of the marital
residence. With respect to the marital residence, wife shall
refinance the loan which presently creates a lien against the
marital residence within six months from the date that the
deed is delivered to wife.
2. At the time of separation, the parties owned several
motor vehicles. Husband has taken possession and shall have
the right to own the 1985 Ford Ranger, the 1987 Ford Areostar
van and the pop-up camper. Wife shall make no claim against
husband for these vehicles or for the proceeds of the sale of
these vehicles. Husband shall retrieve the pop-up camper
from the marital residence by December 31, 2000. Wife, or
one of the parties' children, have had possession of the 1989
Ford Tempo since the date of separation and wife shall become
the sole owner of this vehicle. Husband shall provide wife
the title to this vehicle within 10 days of the date hereof.
3. The parties owned various bank accounts as of the date
of separation. At the time of separation, the joint accounts
totalled approximately $1,200.00 and the separate accounts in
wife's name alone totalled approximately $6.000.00. Those
accounts have been divided between the parties and neither
party shall make a claim for any money that is in the
possession of the other party which originated from any of
these accounts.
4. The parties received an income tax refund in 1996 and
that refund has been divided between the parties and neither
party shall make a claim against the other for any part of
this refund.
5. Wife has a Roth IRA which is valued at approximately
$1,400.00 and this originated from employment wife had during
the marriage. Wife shall become the sole owner of this
account and husband shall make no claim against wife for this
account.
6. Husband has been employed with the Sprint Corporation
since approximately 1972 and has accrued certain retirement
benefits associated with his employment. Husband presently is
entitled to a defined benefit pension plan which has a present
value of approximately $44,548.00. Husband shall become the
sole owner of this defined benefit retirement plan and wife
shall make no claim against husband for this benefit.
7. Husband also owns a retirement savings plan which has a
present balance of approximately $42,000.00. Part of this
account is marital and part is non-marital. Wife shall be
entitled to a rollover of $15,000.00 from this account into
an account in her separate name, which $15,000.00 rollover
shall become the separate property of wife. With respect to
husband's retirement savings plan. the portion which remains
after $15,000.00 is rolled into wife's separate account, shall
be the sole property of husband and wife shall make no claim
against husband for ownership of the remaining balance of the
retirement savings plan account.
8. Wife began employment with Cumberland County shortly
before the parties separated. Wife presently has retirement
benefits through Cumberland County and is enrolled in a
deferred compensation through Cumberland County, and the
benefits in both of these plans are predominately non-marital.
Wife shall become the sole owner of her retirement benefits
through Cumberland County and her deferred compensation plan
through Cumberland County.
9. The parties owned certain tangible personal property
and household personal property at the time of separation and
the parties have divided between themselves all such items of
tangible personal property. Neither party shall make a claim
against the other for any such personal property which is in
the possession of the either party.
10. Husband presently pays spousal support which is
effectuated through a wage attachment which has been
implemented through the Cumberland County Domestic Relations
Office. Wife shall be entitled to continue to collect the
present spousal support amount through the wage attachment
through the Cumberland County Domestic Relations Office until
December 31, 2000. Wife shall not be permitted to submit any
new claims for unreimbursed medical expenses which accrued to
her after today nor will she file any petition to modify for
an increase in spousal support.
about the agreement that I dictated a few minutes ago?
MRS. THOMAS: I have no questions. I would
just like to say in regards to the refinance issue that the
primary reason for doing that would be to lower that interest
rate, you know provided that the interest rates are down to a
desirable rate; that somehow that could be taken into
consideration with that stipulation, which I understand they
are down now but that they stay down.
THE MASTER: Which means that you need to act
fairly quickly after you get the deed.
MRS. THOMAS: I will have to talk to my loan
officer. That would be the only criteria that would affect
how soon I do it. I will look into it. I will certainly get
educated.
THE MASTER: Is that all right, Mr. Schwartz?
Her concern is that she does not want to have to refinance if
the interest rates go up and she would like to do so within a
time frame, and hopefully within the next six months they will
be fairly stable or will be lower than the 10%.
MR. SCHWARTZ: I think we are more than
willing to be flexible on the time frame. We have other
concerns regarding that. namely the fact that his name is on
that mortgage, and should he go to purchase a home or so forth
that that would be on his credit and. in fact, make it
difficult for him to secure financing to do his own thing.
We are just looking for some time frame where we knoW in the
near future that it will be taken care of and hopefully allow
you enough flexibility with timing and interest rates to do
something that makes sense for you to. That's our position
on that.
MRS. THOMAS: Okay. I understand.
MR. SCHERER: Is it your desire to enter into
the agreement that I dictated a few minutes ago?
MRS. THOMAS: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Craig, could you state your
full name?
MR. THOMAS: Craig Albert Thomas.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Craig, you've been here this
morning and heard the agreement that was put on the record by
attorney Scherer?
MR. THOMAS: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: And you heard the terms of
that agreement?
MR. THOMAS: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: And you had the opportunity to
discuss those terms yesterday as well as other times with
counsel?
MR. THOMAS: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: And do you have any questions
or concerns with the agreement as stated here this morninq?
MR. THOM/.S: No.
THE MASTER: Do you understand the agreement?
MR. THOMAS: Yes.
I acknowledge that I have read the above
stipulation and agreement, that I understand the terms of
settlement as set forth herein, and that by signing below I
ratify and affirm the agreement previously made and intend to
bind myself to the settlement as a contract obligating myself
to the terms of settlement and subjecting myself to the
methods and procedures of enforcement which may be imposed by
law and in particular Section 3105 of the Domestic Relations
Code.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
vs.
NO. 97 - 1124 CIVIL
CRAIG A. THOMAS,
Defendant
IN DIVORCE
RE:
Pre-Hearing Conference Memorandum
DATE:
Monday, August 14, 2000
Present for the Plaintiff. Phyllis E. Thomas,
is attorney Michael A. Scherer, and present for the Defendant,
Craig A. Thomas, is attorney Mark D. Schwartz.
This action was commenced by the filing of a
divorce complaint on March 4, 1997, raising grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Counsel
have indicated that the parties will sign and file affidavits
of consent and waivers of notice of intention to request entry
of divorce decree so that the divorce can be concluded under
Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code.
On February 29, 2000, the Plaintiff filed a
petition ralslng the economic claim of equitable distribution.
No claims for alimony or counsel fees have been raised by
either party.
The parties were married on December 2, 1972,
and separated April 11, 1997. The parties have three
children. all of whom are emancipated.
Wife is 47 years of age and resides at 1602
Newville Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. where she lives with a
male friend. She is a high school graduate and currently
works in the assessment and finance office for Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania. Her net biweekly income is $624.46.
She is currently receiving spousal support in the amount of
$411.00 per month. She has not raised any health issues.
Husband is 48 years of age and resides at 301
Nealy Road, Newville, Pennsylvania. Mr. Schwartz has
indicated he is not aware if anyone currently residing with
husband. Husband is a high school graduate. He is a data
technician at Sprint and after looking at his pay stub, which
is attached to a pretrial statement filed today, the Master is
unable to determine with accuracy the net biweekly income of
husband but suggested perhaps it might be around $1,300.00.
Mr. Schwartz is going to clarify a number of items on the pay
stub for us so we can understand the deductions. He will
then provide a written memo to counsel and the Master
explaining the pay stub so we can accurately get a net
biweekly income amount. The support office had concluded
that the net monthly income. based on an order entered May 6.
1997, was $3,500.00. Consequently, the numbers that the
Master has suggested do not seem to reflect the numbers that
the support office determined the income to be. Husband has
not raised any health issues.
The parties own real estate at 1602 Newville
Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. where wife is living. Mr.
Scherer had a market analysis completed in 1998 suggesting a
value of $120,000.00. Counsel have discussed the possibility
of having the property appraised; however. Mr. Schwartz will
talk to his client to determine if he is willing to stipulate
to the $120,000.00 market analysis number that Mr. Scherer has
suggested. The property is subject to a mortgage with a
payoff of a little less than $60.000.00.
The parties had some Cornerstone Bank
accounts and husband received the proceeds from three
accounts totalling approximately $1,100.00 and wife received
the proceeds of an account in the amount of approximately
$6,000.00.
The parties distributed a 1996 income tax
refund between themselves. We are not certain how that
distribution was determined but husband received $1.200.00 and
wife $300.00.
A review of the vehicles that have been
listed on the pretrial statements, including the 1995 Ford
Ranger of husband, would indicate that husband has received
value in excess of wife of around $1.200.00. Counsel are
going to review the vehicle situation to see how they want to
approach the values for the equitable distribution
computation.
Husband has been a participant in the pension
plan with Sprint since his employment began in 1972. He is
also participating in a savings plan. The Master, in
reviewing the analysis that was attached to the pretrial
statement. commented that he felt the numbers seemed low and
Mr. Scherer is going to review the pension analysis with the
analyst. For instance, the analysis should be as of the date
of separation and it does not appear to have been done as of
that date. That is one example of where there may be some
reason for questioning the values suggested. Mr. Scherer is
also going to contact Sprint to request an explanation of the
/
pension and savings plan. We have a dollar amount for the
savings plan as of the date of separation but we need to
update that marital portion to the present using an interest
factor. Counsel can see if they can determine what the plan
consistently has been earning over the last three to five
years.
Counsel have advised that there will be no
issue with regard to value for household tangible personal
property.
Wife is in possession of a Roth IRA with a
value of around $1,500.00.
In addition to the mortgage. the marital debt
based on husband's pretrial statement consists of a home
equity loan, a credit card loan, a student loan, and a loan
from his parents. We need to have documentation on these
loans. With respect to the loan from Mr. Thomas' parents,
wife claims that she knew nothing about the money being paid
to husband and does not acknowledge that she has any
obligation on any alleged debt to the parents. We need to
find out if both parents signed the student loan documents to
obligate themselves for the daughter's college expenses.
Husband has claimed that he paid the home equity loan and the
credit card loan and we need documentation to show the amount
of money that was owed at separation and evidence of husband's
payments.
The Master has suggested to counsel that we
have a settlement conference to see if we can resolve the
outstanding equitable distribution claim. In order to give
counsel an opportunity to prepare the case based on the issues
that remain, the Master is going to schedule a settlement
conference for Wednesday, November 1, 2000 at 9:00 a.m.
Notices will be sent to counsel and the parties.

RE: Phyllis E. Thomas vs. Craig A. Thomas
No. 97 - 1124 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Scherer:
I received a praecipe for equitable distribution filed with the
Prothonotary on February 9, 2000. This apparently was in response to
my letter of February 4, 2000, indicating that no economic claims were
raised in the pleadings.
Please refer to Rule 1920.11, which outlines what pleadings are
allowed in a divorce case. After looking at the rules I conclude that
economic claims are to be raised in a complaint, counterclaim or
petition. I do not see any provision in the rules that a praecipe is a
pleading nor do I see any specific reference to a claim being allowed to be
raised by a praecipe.
Consequently, I request that you file an appropriate pleading
raising equitable distribution after which I will issue a directive for the
filing of pretrial statements.
I understand that you may consider my approach technicalj

be a qualified domestic relations order ("QDRO") within the meaning of Section 414(p)
of the Code and Section 206(d) of ERISA, a separate account shall be established
under the Plan for the benefit of the Alternate Payee (referred to in this Order as the

and the Participant's accrued benefit shall be reduced by, an amount determined in the
preceding paragraph. The Plan Administrator shall send a letter to the Alternate Payee

Alternate Payee. the amount assigned under this order shall be paid to the Alternate
Payee's estate.

Participant designates the Alternate Payee as a beneficiary in accordance with the
terms of the Plan.
10. Administration of the Order. A true copy of this Order shall be served
on the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall determine, within a reasonable
period of time after the delivery of this Order, whether the Order is a QCRO. The
Participant, the Alternate Payee, and the court intend this Order to be QCRO. The
parties agree that their mutual intent is to provide the Alternate Payee with a benefit
under the Plan that fairly represents the Alternate Payee's marital share of the benefits
as described under Paragraph 4. If this Order is determined not to be a QORO, the
Plan Administrator shall inform the parties of the reasons for that determination. The
Court retains jurisdiction to amend the Order for purposes of establishing its status as a

shall treat the Alternate Payee as a distributee of the Plan for purposes of all notices
and election opportunities provided by the Plan to its participants, The Plan
Administrator shall provide the Alternate Payee with annual reports and such other

Payee which are required to be paid to another Alternate Payee under another Order
