Agreement have been determined in contemplation of the child c:ustodyprovisions prescribed herein.
Therefore, it is agreed that HUSBAND shall not at any time seek child support from WIFE.
HUSBAND acknowledges and agrees that this paragraph, together with Paragraph 24 of this
Agreement, constitutes satisfactory and sufficient financial support for the children including, but not
limited to, food, clothing, shelter and all other factors considered by the Pennsylvania Child Support
Guidelines. HUSBAND shall continue to provide health insufat1,;e for the children and shall be solely
responsible for the payment of any and all premiums associated with that coverage. Furthermore,
HUSBAND shall be solely responsible for payment of the first $250.00 per year, per child, in
unreimbursed medical expenses. After HUSBAND has paid the first $250.00 per year, per child,
unreimbursed medical expenses shall be divided between the parties with HUSBAND paying 74% and
WIFE paying 26%.
In the event that HUSBAND does seek child support and WIFE is directed by a court to pay
child support to HUSBAND, the alimony payable to WIFE under the terms of this Agreement shall be
increased by $1.00 for each dollar of child support awarded to HUSBAND.
It is further agreed that WIFE will not seek child support for as long as the child custody
provisions of this Agreement remain in effect. In the event that the child custody provisions
prescribed herein are altered for any reason, which may include HUSBAND's health, so that WIFE
assumes primary physical custody of the children, then WIFE shall be entitled to seek lawful child
support from HUSBAND, but the alimony provisions set forth in Paragraph 24 hereof shall likewise
be modified as provided in that Paragraph.
In the event that WIFE is awarded child support pursuant to an Order of Court after all
alimony provisions of this Agreement have been satisfied, it is agreed that HUSBAND shall be
entitled to a credit of $340.91 per month for each month of child support he is directed to pay.
24. ALIMONY: Commencing on December 1, ,2004, and ending on November 1,
2006, HUSBAND shall pay WIFE $1,050.00 per month as alimony, Said alimony payments shall
be payable directly to WIFE on the first day of each month.
Additionally, HUSBAND shall pay WIFE alimony in the lump sum of $11,250.00 on
December 1,2006, and an additional lump sum of$II,250.00onJanuary2, 2007. The parties agree
that these lump sum payments constitute alimony and not equitable distribution, and that they are
being paid as a lump sum at HUSBAND's request in order to decrease the term of his alimony
obligation.
In the event that WIFE gains primary physical custody of the children and HUSBAND is
directed to pay child support to WIFE, the monthly alimony payable to WIFE under the terms of this
Agreement shall be reduced by one dollar for each dollar of child support awarded to WIFE,
provided, however, that in no event shall the monthly alimony payable to WIFE be reduced to less
than $493.00 per month through November 1, 2006. Additionally, in the event that WIFE is
receiving child support pursuant to an Order of Court at the times that the lump sum alimony
payments are due on December 1,2006, and January 2,2007, then each payment shall be reduced
to $5,000.00.
The alimony provided for herein shall be non-modifiable, except as expressly provided
herein. All alimony payments shall be includable to WlFE as income and deductible to HUSBAND
as income for purposes of taxation in the years that payments are made. Alimony shall terminate
upon WIFE's cohabitation as that term is defined in the Pennsylvania Divorce Code. It is agreed that
HUSBAND shall pay alimony directly to WlFE. However, should HUSBAND miss a monthly
payment to WlFE or make a payment more than thirty (30) days late under the terms of this
Agreement, it is agreed that an Order for alimony will be entered with the Cumberland County Court
of Common Pleas and enforced through the Domestic Relati.ons Section of that Court.
25. MARITAL DEBT: Each party shall remain sole and exclusive responsibility for the
payment of any and all debt in his or her individual name. The parties specifically represent that they
are aware of no outstanding debt in the joint names of both parties. To the extent that any such joint
debt may exist, said debt shall be assumed by the party to whom request for payment has been sent
up to the effective date ofthis Agreement. The party assuming any such debt shall indemnifY and
hold the other party harmless against any liability resulting therefrom.
26. BANKRUPTCY OR REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS: In the event that
either party becomes a debtor in any bankruptcy or financial reorganization proceedings of any kind

right to claim any exemption (whether granted under State or Federal law) to any property remaining
in the debtor as a defense to any claim made pursuant hereto by the creditor spouse as set forth
herein, including all attorney fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of this paragraph or any

executor of the other's estate, and each will, at the request of the other, execute, acknowledge and

Revelant, Esquire, of Wiley, Lenox, Colgan & Marzzacco, P.C., and files the instant Petition for
Enforcement of Marital Settlement Agreement, and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Petitioner / Plaintiff is Becky S. Eshleman (hereinafter referred to as "Wife"),
who currently resides at 1077 Nanroc Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent / Defendant is Frederick M. Eshleman, Jr. (hereinafter referred to as
"Husband"), who currently resides at 307 East Marble Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
3. On December 20,2002, Wife filed a Complaint in Divorce under Section 3301(c)
of the Divorce Code.
4. On January 13, 2005, the parties entered and executed a Marital Settlement
Agreement, which was filed with the Court on January 18, 2005. A copy of the Marital
Settlement Agreement is marked Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated by reference
herein.
5. Per the terms of Paragraph Twenty-Four (24) of the Marital Settlement
Agreement, Husband was to. pay Wife alimony in the amount of$1,050.00 per month from
..
.,
December 1,2004 through November 1,2006. Additionally, Paragraph 24 states "HUSBAND
shall pay to WIFE alimony in the lump sum of$11,250.00 on December 1,2006, and an
additional lump sum of$II,250.00 on January 2,2007."
6. Husband made the monthly alimony payments through November 1, 2006.
7. Husband also paid to Wife approximately $2,500.00 in December 2006.
8. Wife has not received further payments to date from Husband and Wife is due
approximately $20,000.00.
9. The undersigned forwarded a letter dated January 19,2007 to Husband, with a
courtesy copy to his attorney of record, Gary French, Esquire, providing an extension until
February 20, 2007 to make payment in full. A copy of said correspondence is attached hereto,
incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit "B."
10. Wife, through conversations directly with Husband, was informed that Husband is
expecting a substantial check on a contract through his business, and would pay her upon receipt
of that check, which was expected February 28,2007.
11. Wife provided Husband an additional extension until March 9, 2007 to make

are forthcoming.
13. Wife has provided Husband ample opportunity to make payments as required by
the Marital Settlement Agreement dated January 13,2005.
14. Husband has failed to abide by his obligations under the Marital Settlement
Agreement.
15. Due to Husband's failure to abide by the terms of the Agreement, Wife was
required to obtain an attorney and expend legal fees for enforcement of the Agreement.
16. Though Paragraph 24 of the Agreement provides that an Order for alimony may
be entered and enforced through the Domestic Relations Section, it is the undersigned's
understanding that Domestic Relations will only order alimony payable through Domestic
Relations and garnish wages with an Order from the Court.
17. Per Paragraph 28 of the Agreement:
If either party breaches any provision of this Agreement, the other party
shall have the right, at his or her election to sue for damages for such
breach or seek such other remedies or relief as may be available to him or
her, and the party breaching this contract shall be responsible for payment
of reasonable legal fees and costs incurred by the other in enforcing their
rights under this Agreement.
18. Section 3502(e) of the Divorce Code reads, in pertinent part:
If, at any time, a party has failed to comply with an order of equitable distribution,
as provided for in this chapter or with the terms of an agreement as entered into
between the parties, after hearing, the court may, in addition to any other remedy
available under this part, in order to effect compliance with its order:
(1) enter judgment; . . .
(3) award interest on unpaid installments; . . .
(6) issue attachment proceedings, directed to the sheriff or other proper officer of
the county, directing that the person named as having failed to comply with the
court order be brought before the court, at such time as the court may direct. If the
court finds, after hearing, that the person willfully failed to comply with the court
order, it may deem the person in civil contempt of court and, in its discretion,
make an appropriate order, including, but not limited to, commitment of the
person to the county jail for a period not to exceed six months;
(7) award counsel fees and costs;
(9) find the party in contempt.
WHEREFORE, Wife respectfully requests This Honorable Court to direct as follows:
A. Husband shall pay to Wife the amount of $20,000.00 plus interest from December
1,2006, due and owing within ten (10) days of the date of this Order;
In the alternative, an Order shall be entered payable through Domestic Relations
for $20,000.00 plus interest and Husband's wages garnished;
B. Husband shall pay to Wife's counsel the amount of reasonable counsel fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the filing, preparation, and disposition of the instant
Petition; and
C. Any other equitable relief the Court deems appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Eshleman v. Eshleman - Divorce
Dear Mr. Eshleman:
Becky has brought to my attention that she has not received the lump sum alimony
payments that you are obligated to pay pursuant to the Marital Settlement Agreement dated
January 13,2005. As you know, Paragraph #24 of the Marital Settlement Agreement required
you to pay a lump sum of$11,250.000n December 1,2006 and $11,250.00 on January 2, 2007.
Ms. Eshleman has not received these payments, but for $2500.00 paid in December 2006.
Ms. Eshleman is agreeable to extending time for you to pay the total amount of
$20,000.00 until February 20,2007. If she does not receive payment in full by this date, I will
have no choice but to proceed with the filing of a petition to the court to enforce the terms of the
Marital Settlement Agreement, with a request that you pay her counsel fees as permitted by
Paragraph 28.
Thank you for your attention.
Very truly yours,
WILEY, LENOX, COLGAN & MARZZACCO
