hereto marked Exhibit "A" and incorporated by reference herein as
set forth at length,
5. I?ursuant to paragraph 4 of the June 25, 1997 agreement,
Husband is responsible for payment of all unsecured debts
"currently in joint or either single name" of the parties.
6. To date, Husband has failed to comply with this as well
as other provisions of the June 25, 1997 agreement.
7. Accordingly, on September 26, 1997, Wife filed a
I?etition to Enforce Settlement Agreement executed June 25, 1997.
8. As a result, the court, on October 3, 1997 entered an
order directing Husband to file an answer to Wife's petition
within 15 days of service; directing any depositions to be
completed within 35 days of service; directing briefs to be filed
in chambers and scheduling argument to be held on Tuesday,
December 9, 1997,
~. On October 21, 1997, Husband, through his then
attorney, Sandra L. Meilton, Esquire, filed an Answer to
I?etition to Enforce Settlement Agreement.
10, On October 22, 1997 by agreement of the parties,
through their attorneys, depositions were scheduled and not~ced
to both parties to occur on November 21, 1997 at Wife's counsel's
office.
11. Subsequently, on or about November 1, 1997, Husband,
who was an associate attorney with Tucker Arensberg, I?C, was
terminated from his employment.
2
~~
-
~,
12, Accordingly, Wife's counsel was advised by Husband's
then counsel, Sandra Meilton, Esquire that due to this
termination, she believed that she now had a conflict in
continuing to represent Husband and thus, while she would agree
to continue to attempt to negotiate a settlement for an
additional few weeks on Husband's behalf, that she would have to
withdraw as counsel and would not represent Husband at the
scheduled November 21, 1997 depositions.
13, Settlement negotiations however were stymied when
Husband failed to contact attorney Meilton despite her repeated
requests,
14, Olt Thursday. November 20, 1997, Husband's ,current
counsel Sam Andes, Esquire contacted Wife's counsel and advised
that he had just been retained to represent Husband and that as
he was not available he and Husband would not be attending the
depositions scheduled for Friday, November 21, 1997,
15, Accordingly, at the request of both parties, the oral
argument date as well as the due date for briefs has been
rescheduled for January 26, 1998. Depositions have yet to be
rescheduled although counsel for both parties have exchanged
possible dates for the depositions,
16. But for Husband's dilatory conduct in not obtaining
other counsel until the day prior to the scheduled depositions,
this matter would be before the court ready for final
disposition.
3
3d
,.....,
17, At the date of separation, Husband owned an interest in
a profit sharing plan with his then employer, Tucker Arensberg,
I?C, with a vested present value of approximately $11,372.55,
18. Should this court determine the June 25, 1997 agreement
to be binding and enforceable, Husband will be responsible for
paying the unsecured marital debt of the parties,
19. In that event, given the fact of Husband's recent
termination from employment, Wife believes that the only source
of funds to pay said debts will be Husband's interest in his
401(k) plan,
20. However, given Husband's current financial situation
and the fact that Husband is also seriously behind in his child
and spousal support obligation owed to Wife, Wife is concerned
that Husband will withdraw the funds in his 401(k) plan and
dispose of them to defeat his obligations pursuant to the July
25, 1997 agreement or to defeat his child and spousal support
obligation.
21. l?a.R.C,I? 1920.43 provides as follows:
(a) At any time after the filing of the complaint, on
petition setting forth facts entitling the party
to relief, the court may, upon such terms and
conditions as it deems just, including the filing
of security,
(1) issue preliminary or special injunctions
necessary to prevent the removal,
disposition, alienation or incumbering of
real or personal property in accordance with
Rule 1531 (a), (c), (d) and (e); or
(2) order the seizure or at tachment of real or
personal property; or
(3) grant other appropriate relief.

97-5297 CIVIL TERM
The Divorce Code at 23 Pa.C,S, Section 3501 (a)(2) sets forth that the definition
of "marital property" does not Include "property excluded by valid agreement of the
parties entered Into before, during or after the marriage." Section 3105 of the Code
titled "Effect of agreement between parties," provides:
(a) Enforcement...A party to an agreement regarding matters
within the Jurisdiction of the court under this part, whether or not the
agreement has been merged or Incorporated Into the decree, may
utilize a remedy or aanctlon aet forth In this part to enforce the
IIgreement to the same extent as though the agreement had been an
order of the court except as provided to the contrary In tho agreement.
(b) Certain provlalona aUbJect to modlflcaUon.-A provision of
an agreement regarding child support, visitation or custody shall be
subject to modification by the court upon a showing of changed
circumstances.
(c) Certain provlslona not aubJect to modlflcatlon,-In the
absence of a specific provision to the contrary appearing In the
agreement, a provision regarding the disposition of existing property
rights and Interests between the parties, alimony, alimony pendente lite,
counsel fees or expenses shall not be subject to modification by the
court. (Emphasis added,)
Husband's argument that the written agreement signed by the parties on June
25, 1997, is unenforceable because wife allegedly breached the provision regarding
the custody of their children Is without merit. As set forth In Commonwealth ex rei
Velhdeffer v. Velhdeffer, 235 Pa, Super, 447 (1975):
It Is well settled that an agreement between the parties as to
custody Is not controlling but should be given weight taking Into
consideration all the circumstances. , , , A child cannot be made the
subject of a contract with the same force and effect as if It were a mere
chattel has long been established law, (Citation omitted,)
We hold that the custody provision In paragraph 8 of the parties' agreement dated
June 25, 1997, is severable as a matter of law, Husband's allegation that wife

consideration the surrounding circumstances, the situation of the
parties, the objects they apparently have In view, and the nature
of the subject-matter of the agreement.' The court will adopt an
Interpretation that Is most reasonable and probable bearing In
mind the objects which the parties Intended to accomplish
through the agreement.
The Court concluded In Laudlg:
The parties' Intent, as expressed In their post-nuptial agreement In
this case, Is clear, Husband and wife contractually agreed to dispose of
their marital property In a specified manner In the event of Infidelity on
wife's part. Although the contract language does not specifically
address a divorce proceeding, the Intent to preclude any other equitable
distribution becomes clear when the contract Is construed as a whole,
Paragraph seven of the agreement specifically provides that should
other marital misconduct occur, 'the normal divorce laws and settlement
procedures would apply, including the standards setting forth equitable
division of marital property, alimony and the like,'
In the case sub Judice. husband agreed (1) to transfer the marital residence to
his wife without consideration while retaining the mortgage Interest deduction for two
years, (2) that all property and possessions in the house belonged to his wife solely,
(3) to pay his wife $3,000 each month, (4) to pay all unsecured debts and to secure a
consolidation loan In his own name to do so, (5) that his wife would keep one vehicle
and he would keep another, (6) to pay all health Insurance for the children together
with uncovered medical and related expenses and to pay his wife's health Insurance
"until no longer permitted by law or Insurance contract," and (7) to pay all costs and
expenses relating to colleges of choice for both children. This was an all
encompassing agreement resolving the parties' financial affairs including the C08t of
-5-

.
97.5297 CIVIL TERM
college educations for their children,' and the disposition of their real and personal
property, We are satisfied that the parties' Intent as expressed by the comprehensive
terms of their agreement shows that the agreement Is not restricted to the time period
before a final decree In divorce,
Section 3502(e) of the Divorce Code titled "Powers of the court," provides;
If, at Iny time, a party his failed to comply with an order of equitable
distribution, as provided for In this chapter or with the terme of In
agreement I' entered Into between the partlel, after hearing, the
court may, In Iddltlon to Iny other remedy IVlllable under thle part,
In order to effect complllnce with It. order:
(1) enter judgment;
(2) authorize the taking and seizure of the goods and chattels
and collection of the rents and profits of the real and personal, tangible
and Intangible property of the party;
(3) award interest on unpaid Installments;
(4) order and direct the transfer or sale of any property required
in order to comply with the court's order;
(5) require security to Insure future payments In compliance with
the court's order;
(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;
(8) attach wages; or
(9) find the party in contempt. (Emphasis added,)
Having found that the agreement entered Into between the parties on June 25,
1997, Is enforceable, and that defendant has admitted that he Is not In compliance

7 MS. CONLE~: Yes, Your Honor. However, I do
B have a preliminary matter that I would like to bring to the
9 Court's attention.
10 THE COURT: okay.
11 MS. CONLE~: That is, Your Honor, I had
12 served upon Mr. DiLeonardo notice to produce requesting
13 various financial records from him for the purposes of this
14 hearing, I would like to pass a copy of that to you, as well
15 as a letter I received from Hr. DiLeonardo on this date
16 indicating that he objected to the production of these
17 documents.
1B 'fHE COURT: All right.
19 MR. DiLEONARDO: Judge Bayley, your copy ot
20 the objection is here.
21 THE COURT: What records were you seeking?
22 MS. CONLE~: Financial records, ~our Honor,
23 both personal accounts and accounts through his law

25 proceedings as we're attempting to entorce a marital

2 THE COURT: Do you think they are necessary

4 MS. CONLEY: Yes, I do, Your Honor.
5 THE COURT: Let's then argue this out off the
6 record because that is argument.
7 (Whereupon, argument was held off
8 the record.)
9 THE COURT: Do you wish to put on any
10 testimony in regards to tho matter in which you believe this
11 order should be enforced, or do you want to just simply
12 argue that point?
13 MS. CONLEY: Well, I did have testimony
14 plunned, Your Honor.
15 THE COURT: I will take test.imqny. The
16 reason we are here is it says hearing in the rule, and

1 DIRECT EXAMINATION
2 BY MS. CONLEY:
3 Q Please state your name and address for the
4 record.
5 A Cathy DiLeonardo, 6 Charisma Drive, Camp
6 Hill, Pennsylvania.
7 (Whereupon, Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 1
8 was marked for identification.)
9 BY MS. CONLEY:
10 Q Cathy, I'm hand.i.ng you what's been marked as
11 Plaintiff's Exhibit No.1. Can you identify that, please?
12 A This is the agreement that John and I entered
13 into in July.
14 Q Pursuant to paragraph one of that agreement,
15 Mr. DiLeonardo is to transfer the house to you, correct?
16 A That's correct.
17 Q Has he done that?
18 A No, he has not.
19 Q Would you request that the Court direct him
20 to do so immediately?
21 A Yes.
22 Q Now, pursuant to paragraph three of the
23 agreement, he's to pay you $3,000.00 per month, correct?
24 A Correct.
25 Q Has he been doing that?

jp3
~
r,
1 A NO, he has not.
:I Q When was the last time you received a payment
3 from him pursuant to this agreement?
4 A September 15th I received a payment for
5 $1500.00.
6 Q And how much -- okay, 1500. Then after that
7 he didn't pay anything more under that portion of the
8 agreement?

15 BY MS. CONLEY:
16 Q Did you thereafter file for support?
17 A Yes, I did.
18 MR. DiLEONARDO: Your Honor, at this point I
19 would object to anything on the support proceedings.
20 THE COURT: Why?
21 MR. DiLEONARDO: Because, Your Honor, the
22 court proceedings, the existence of them, should have
23 vitiated or should have removed jurisdiction from this Court
24 to enter the final order it is proposing. I understand that
25 Your Honor disagrees with me on that. I don't want to argue
A No, he did not.
Q Did you --
THE COURT: When did you get that?
THE WITNESS: september 15th.
THE COURT: September 15th?
THE WITNESS: Yes.

".....
I"~,
1 about it.
2 THE COURT: But I might well agree with you
3 that anything be paid toward the support should be offset
4 against the 3,000. I am wondering why you are objecting.
5 MR. DiLEONARDO: Your Honor, I would
6 stipulate to the records of the Domestic Relations Office to
7 the extent that you need to determine that, and I would, of
8 course, request that. But that is a judicial record that's
9 not necessary to receive testimony from a private party
10 11 tigant.
11 THE COURT: If it can be stipulated to, I
12 will take it. If it cannot, then I have got to do it.
13 Maybe you can stipulate. 00 you want to see whether you can
14 stipulate?
15 MS. CONLEY: stipulate to the entry of this?
16 THE COURT: As to the support order and how
17 much has been paid on it over what period of time.
18 MS. CONLEY: Sure.
19 THE COURT: If you can stipulate to it, I
20 will take it. If you cannot, I will take the evidence from
21 this witness. Just everybody stay where they are. I will
22 walk off and let my
23 MR. DiLEONARDO: Your Honor, if we can just
24 go off the record for a second.

2 held ott the record.)
3 THE COURT: You are marking an exhibit?
4 MS. CONLEY: Correct, Your Honor.
S THE COURT: And you are representing to me it
6 is what?
7 MS. CONLEY: It's based on two things
8 basically, the agreement which directed him to pay $3,000.00
9 a month. So it just includes a little summary of what he
10 owes pursuant to that agreement. Then the second category
11 is the amount owed per the order ot court, per the support
12 court.
13 THE COURT: And it tells me what the order is
14 and what has been paid?
15 MS. CONLEY: It tells you what it was, what
16 it is, what was due through February of '98, and then I just
17 subtracted the difference because I agree with you, Your
18 Honor, that anything that is payable on support oftsets his
19 $3,000.00 per month obligation.
20 THE COURT: And mark that as Exhibit No.2.
21 (Whereupon, Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 2
22 was marked tor identification.)
23 THE COURT: Do you stipulate that at least
24 the tigures on the document are correct and how they should
25 be calculated regarding this is not part at the stipulation?

r,
1 MR. DiLEONARDO: Right. If I understand it,
2 Your Honor, everything else on the back page is records of
3 Domestic Relations, everything but the front page, correct.
4 MS. CONLEY: Correct.
5 MR. DiLEONARDO: And the front page is your
6 summary, mathematical arithmetic summary, of those orders
7 and of the agreement, the agreement of the first part and
8 the order of the second part. It doesn't seek to offset one
9 against the other. It just sets them forth as they would be
10 if you added them up from day one.
11 MS. CONLEY: It shows actually what the
12 offset would be.
13 MR. DiLEONARDO: Okay. Very good. That's
14 the last line that shows the offset?
15 MS. CONLEY: Correct.
16 MR. DiLEONARDO: But these are just the
17 arithmetic calculations?
18 MS. CONLEY: Correct.
19 MR. DiLEONARDO: This next one is the offset?
20 MS. CONLEY: That's the difference between
21 what you owed.
22 MR. DiLEONARDO: Right. Then the last one is
23 YClur summary of what the rest of these documents show?
24 MS. CONLEY: Correct.

7 MS. CONLEY: No. I will just sum it up when
8 we get to the end. Would you like a copy --
9 THE COllRT: I have one question for you. No,
10 I will do it later. I have one question for you. You say
11 you received $1500.00 on September 15?
12 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir.
13 THE COURT: Did you re,ceive the $3,000.00 per
14 month under the terms of the agreement before that?
15 THE WITNESS: Yes.
16 THE COURT: I am going to make a note of
17 that.
18 THE WITNESS: It was payab10 twice a month,
19 so it was 1500 two times a month.
20 MS. CONLEY: Are you ready, Your Honor?
21 THE COURT: Yes. Go ahead.
22 BY MS. CONLEY:
23 Q Now, Cathy, pursuant to paragraph four of
24 that agreement, Mr. DiLeonardo is to pay all of the
25 unsecured marital debt, is that correct?
THE COURT: So stipulated and Exhibit No. 2
is a~mit.ted in the record. I will let you sum this up
afterwards. I do not have to get the figures in now.
MS. CONLEY: Thank you, Your Honor. Then I
won' t request any testimony from Mrs. DiLeonardo.
11

"""
~,
1 A That's correct.
2 Q How was he to do that?
3 A He was to secure a loan in his own name so
4 that my name wouldn't be associated with the debt anymore
5 and pay them off.
6 Q Has Mr. DiLeonardo done that?
7 A No, he has not.
8 (Whereupon, Plaintiff's Exhibit No.3
9 was marked for identification.)
10 BY MS. CONLEY:
11 Q Cathy, I'm showing you
12 MR. DiLEONARDO: No objection, Your Honor.
13 We'll stipulate to Exhibit 3.
14 BY MS. CONLEY:
15 Q What's been marked as Exhibit No.3, can you
16 tell me what that exhibit evidence is?
17 A This is a list of current debts and balance
18 amounts as of August of 1997.
19 Q Were these the debts that Mr. DiLeonardo was
20 to pay after separation?
21 A Yes.
22 THE COURT: Exhibit 3 is admitted.
23 BY MS. CONLEY:
24 Q Now, have these debts been reduced since
25 August of 1997?
12
~
1""",
1 A No. I think, as a matter of fact, they might
2 be higher.
3 Q Why are they higher?
4 A They are higher because I can't afford to
5 make payments on them, and the interest and whatever
6 penalties they assign when you don't pay them have accrued
7 on this since this time so they are much higher.
8 Q Have you made any charges on any of these
9 accounts?
10 A No, I have not. As a matter of fact, I
11 cancelled all of the cards.
12 Q Have you made any payments towards these
13 debts?
14 A I started making less than the minimum
15 payments, whatever I could pay, because this is reflecting
16 on my credit rating at this point because he hasn't paid
17 them off or made any arrangements to pay them. I had to do
18 something, and I paid $10.00 a month on most of them.
19 Q In addition to the Court directing Mr.
20 DiLeonardo to pay these debts in full, would you like to be
21 reimbursed for any payments that you've made since
22 separation?
23 A Yes.
24 Q Under the agreement, Mr. DiLeonardo is to
25 transfer the 1989 --
13
fa
"-'
,.-
1 THE COURT: Let me go back a moment. Do you
2 know what that is, how much that is?
3 THE WITNESS: No, I'm sorry, I don't.
4 THE COURT: Are we talking a few hundred
5 bucks with this $10.00 a month?
6 THE WITNESS: Yes.
7 THE COURT: Go ahead.
8 MS. CONLEY: Thank you.
9 BY MS. CONLEY:
10 Q Has Mr. DiLeonardo transferred the 1989 Sable
11 to you?
12 A No, he has not.
13 Q Why not?
14 A Mr. DiLeonardo was going to get the Sable
15 title. Apparently it's been lost or we couldn't locate it,
16 and he was going to expedite that request through Pat Vance.
17 He did nothing, I guess, to get the title and so it hasn't
18 been transferred.
19 Q Have you taken steps to get the title on your
20 own?
21 A Yes. I'm going down to PennDOT to attempt to
22 get the title. I have to go down there.
23 Q Once you receive that title, would you like
24 the Court to direct Mr. DiLeonardo to execute it?
25 A Yes.
14
""'"
,....,
1 Q NoW, Cathy, pursuant to paragraph six of the
2 agreement, Mr. DiLeonardo is to maintain health insurance
3 coverage for you and the children. Has he done that?
4 A No, he has not.
5 Q Con you explain?
6 A Pardon me.
7 Q Explain. When did it terminate?
8 A It terminated when he was terminated from his
9 position. At that time I had received a notice. He was
10 supposed to COBRA the insurance and keep the children and I
11 covered. When I received the notice, he simply said that
12 wasn't really a COBRA notice and he was going to take care
13 of it. And, in fact, the insurance had lapsed, and we were
14 without coverage until I secured employment.
15 Q So are the children covered now?
16 A They are covered now because I'm working.
17 Q And are you covered now by health insurance?
18 A Yes.
19 Q And it is through your employment?
20 A Yes, it is.
21 Q And are you paying for that coverage?
22 A Yes, I am.
23 THE COURT: Go back. Terminated, terminated
24 from what?
25 THE WITNESS: John?
15
~~
~
1 THE COURT I Yes.
2 THE WITNESS: He was fired from his job.
3 THE COURT: Where?
4 THE WITNESS: At Tucker Arensberg. It was a
5 law firm.
6 THE COURT: Tucker Arensberg?
7 THE WITNESS: Yes. It was a Pittsburgh based
8 law firm.
9 (Whereupon, Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 4
10 was marked for identification.)
11 BY MS. CONLEY:
12 Q Cathy, I'm showing you what's been marked as
13 Plaintiff's Exhibit No.4. Can you identify that for me,
14 please?
15 A I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
16 Q Can you identify that for me, please?
17 A This is a paycheck stub of mine.
18 Q And what is the date of the stub?
19 A January 30th.
20 Q And does that stub indicate the amount that
21 you're paying for health insurance coverage for yourself and
22 your children?
23 A Yes, it does.
24 Q And what is that cost?

Q So ever.y two weeks you pay 10.33 for health
and 1.25 for dental?
A That's correct.
Q Do you want the Court to direct Mr.
DiLeonardo to reimburse you for the cost of this insurance?
A Yes.
Q Has Mr. DiLeonardo pursuant to paragraph six
paid all of the uninsured medical costs of the children as
he is to do?
A No, he has not.
Q What has he not paid?
A Specifically, he hasn't paid the orthodontic
bills. Our one daughter has been in braces now for a year
and a half, and I believe the last payment was in September.
So as of that date, the orthodontist hasn't been paid.
Q So would you like the Court to direct him to
make those payments?
A Yes.
THE COURT: Do you have an idea what the
balance is?
THE WITNESS: We were paying something close
to $90.00 a month, and so that would be for October,
November, December, January, and February to bring it
current.

19 pursuant to section 3502 of the Divorce Code.
20 THE COURT: wait a minute. This was a suit

to determine whether he was liable under the agreement. I
am not going to deal with attorney's fees at this moment.

1 You've had an opportunity to review paraqraph eight. Would
2 you please indicate what you have read.
3 MS. CONLEY: Your Honor, I'm going to object.
4 The Court has already determined that custody is not a
5 relevant factor to the enforcement of this agreement.
6 THE COURT: sustained.
., MR. DiLEONARDO: Your Honor, if I may place
8 on the record, what Your Honor has also put on the record is
9 that the agreement is to be considered as an entirety, and
10 in order for Your Honor to fashion an order correctly in
11 enforcement, I think it's important to understand why the
12 order wasn't complied with initially. The questions will be
13 brief, and the questions will be directed to that point
14 even though some of the answers I'm sure I won't like to
15 hear.
16 THE COURT: The objection is sustained. I
17 understand what you are saying. I understand there is a
18 disagreement regarding custody, and hopefully the two of you
19 can work that out or get it squared away.
20 MR. DiLEONARDO: I understand. Your Honor,
21 may I -- well, I'll ask the next question. I'm not trying
22 to be vexatious with the Court's order. I will not refer to
23 the agreement.

4 to permit me visitation with the children in accordance with
~ the terms of the order?
6 MS. CONLEY: Objection.
7 THE COURT: The objection 18 sustained. It
8 goes to the same thing as I just ruled on.
9 MR. DiLEONARDO: Thank you.
10 BY MR. DiLEONARDO:
11 Q Did you ever, to the best ot your knowledge,
12 plead or indicate in any ot the other proceedings which you
13 have initiated that thore was all order of -- that there was
14 a settlement agreement, a property agreement and/or a
15 custody agreement, it you know?
16 A I'm not sure I understand what you are
17 asking.
18 Q This agreement which we are here in front of
19 Judge Bayley today to determine what order of enforcement he
20 will tashion, that is Q property or settlement agreement or
21 custody and property agreement.
22 To the best of your knowledge, did you ever

1 A Well, I know in the support hearing we raised
2 the issue that we had this agreement, and we were not, you
3 know -- we were not going to just agree to the lesser amount
4 on the support order in lieu of this, and I'm really not
5 sure in the custody action
6 MS. CONLEY: Your Honor, I object. I don't
7 see how this is relevant.
8 THE COURT: sustained.
9 MR. DiLEONARDO: Your Honor, on the basis of
10 the answer she just gave, may I ask one question?
11 THE COURT: Go ahead. Follow it up.
12 BY MR. DiLEONARDO:
13 Q I'm going to show you a certified copy of the
14 complaint in support.
15 THE COURT: In this case?
16 MR. DiLEONARDO: No, the complaint in
17 support. She just made mention that she raised it in a
18 support hearing, Your Honor. I'm going to ask her if
19 THE COURT: I see no reason to because she
20 has agreed through counsel that any payments made through
21 the support order must be offset against the 3,000, which is
22 consistent with what I believe would be the law and
23 appropriate.
24 MR. DiLEONARDO: Well, consistent then, Your
25 Honor, with our stipulation may we make a complaint in
23

15 testimony?
16 MS. CONLEY: That's it, Your Honor.
17 THE COURT: Any testimony from you, sir?
18 MR. DiLEONARDO: Would I understand, Your
19 Honor, the testimony would be ro1ated to how Your Honor
:10 should tlIshion an order to enforce the petition?
21 THE COURT: No. I am only going to what the
:12 special relief should be at this time. I am not dealing
:13 with enforcement becaUMe if the order I enter now is not
