1 Q The date of that marriage was what?
2 THE COURT: What year?
3 THE WITNESS: I want to say 1999, sir. Sorry,
4 judge, I am at a loss for dates here.
5 BY MR. GILROY:
6 Q Did you bring that paperwork to look at this
7 morning?
8 A No, I sure did not.
9 Q May 22, 1999, would that be correct?
10 A Yes, sir.
11 Q That is when you married your second wife?
12 A Yes, sir.
13 Q You were living with her in Texas for a period of
14 time?
15 A Yes, sir.
16 Q Moving on to December 2002, at that time was there
17 a change of custody of the two minor children you had with
18 Sally?
19 A Yes, sir, there was. I approached Sally at that
20 time and asked her, because, obviously, she wasn't doing so
21 well financially even with me paying child support and alimony,
22 I had asked her to give me custody of the children at which
23 time I would continue to pay her alimony and would not seek any
24 child support from her in order to give her an opportunity to
25 get back on her feet and, obviously, make conditions better for
10
0 0
1 herself.
2 Q Hold on a second. When you were divorced, was your
3 wife, Sally, working?
4 A Sir, I want to say she was working at Burger King;
5 but to be honest with you, I can't be sure of that.
6 Q When you were divorced where was she living to your
7 knowledge?
8 A With her mother in Carlisle.
9 Q With the two children from your marriage?
10 A That is correct.
11 Q Showing you what has been marked as Plaintiff
12 Exhibit No. 4, is that a custody order entered December 30,
13 2002?
14 A Yes, sir, it is.
15 Q Is that pursuant to an agreement that you and your
16 ex-wife at that point, Sally, signed?
17 A Yes, sir, it is.
18 Q Did that transfer two children from your first
19 marriage into your custody?
20 A Yes, sir, it did.
21 Q Paragraph eight on the second page refers to
22 something of you have this agreement remaining in effect for
23 just one and a half to three years, is that right?
24 A That is correct.
25 Q What was your discussion and understanding with
11
1 your ex-wife at that point with respect to you getting custody
2 of the two children?
3 A The original agreement was that I would continue to
4 pay her a limony but I would probably have custody of the
5 children for one and a half to three years.
6 Q That is what you contemplated at the time?
7 A Yes, sir.
8 Q Once you got custody did your support obligation to
9 Sally Jones with respect to the two children end?
10 A Yes, it did.
11 Q Did you continue to pay her alimony?
12 A Yes, sir, I did.
13 Q The agreement suggested one and a half to three
14 years you having custody, have you had custody of the two
15 children that entire time since then?
16 A Yes, sir, I have.
17 Q Has Sally ever made any efforts to modify or get
18 custody of the children back?
19 A No, sir, she hasn't.
20 Q Is she visiting the children?
21 A Yes, sir, she is.
22 Q Please tell the Court how much she is visiting the
23 children and under what circumstances?
24 A Typically every summer the children are bought up
25 to Carlisle for her to be with. Typically, every Christmas,
12
0 0
1 and again, this depends where I am stationed at, at the time.
2 Obviously, if I am in San Diego, California, it is a little bit
3 more difficult to get the children back to visit her.
4 But every effort has been made to get the children
5 whenever she wanted. Obviously, they are teenagers now, one
6 has a job, o ne is active in basketball. If for any reason the
7 children fee l that they can't visit her due to their
8 obligations, it is their responsibility to explain to her why,
9 not mine.
10 Q But you try to get the kids up to see their mom?
11 A Yes, sir, I do.
12 Q Do you pay the costs of transportation?
13 A Yes, I do.
14 Q You mentioned San Diego. At one point were you
15 stationed in San Diego and helped pay airfare to get the kids
16 back?
17 A Yes, sir.
18 Q You have been in West Virginia how long now?
19 A Going on two years now, sir.
20 Q Do you anticipate that being your final post of
21 duty?
22 A Yes, sir, I do.
23 THE COURT: Still in the Navy?
24 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir, I am.
25 BY MR. GILROY:
13
0 0
1 Q Are you anticipating that the two children from
2 your marriage with Sally are going to continue with you?
3 A Yes, sir.
4 Q The older child, Kenneth, he is a senior?
5 A Yes, sir.
6 Q What are his plans?
7 A His plans are to go to college, he has gotten three
8 acceptance letters so far.
9 Q Are you working with him as far as finances for
10 college?
11 A Yes, sir. Right now his intentions are to go to
12 college somewhere in West Virginia.
13 Q Do you have intentions on helping to pay for those
14 costs?
15 A Yes, sir, I do.
16 Q Your daughter from the first marriage, she is in
17 ninth grade?
18 A Yes.
19 Q She is pretty settled in with you?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Playing sports at the local high school?
22 A Yes, sir.
23 Q Your intention is to keep custody of her?
24 A Yes, sir.
25 Q Have you ever sought child support from their
14
• •
1 mother since you got custody in 2002?
2 A No, sir, I haven't.
3 Q Is it your intention to seek child support in this
4 case assuming alimony is terminated?
5 A No, sir.
6 Q You are not looking for support from her at this
7 point?
8 A No, sir, I am not.
9 If I can expand on that. It has never been my
10 intention to put her in a financial burden. But having custody
11 of the chi ldren, I would feel her being one of the parents, she
12 would want to take responsibility financially for these
13 children i n some way, shape, or form. Whether the money that I
14 am paying her comes back to me to take care of these children
15 and never ask her for anything, which I haven't, or she start
16 supplying money to these children to help them to see what they
17 need in th e future, whether it is clothes, clothes on their
18 back, you name it, food.
19 Q Has the mother since 2002 provided any support in
20 the nature of paying for athletic camps or trips or anything
21 like that?
22 A No, sir, she hasn't.
23 Q You are still in the military?
24 A Yes, sir.
25 Q What is your position?
15
• •
1 A Sir, currently E8 in the military. I am a hospital
2 corpsman, senior chief, and currently the administrator of a
3 health clinic.
4 Q You have been in the military how many years?
5 A 23 years this January.
6 Q Your plans with respect to retirement are what?
7 A Plan on retiring in March of 2010 and staying in
8 West Virginia area, that will give me 25 years of service.
9 Q Retiring on 25 years?
10 A Yes, sir.
11 Q Two years from now?
12 A Yes, sir.
13 Q At your retirement you will be receiving a military
14 pension, is that correct?
15 A Yes, sir, correct.
16 Q Referring to Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 2, the marital
17 settlemen t agreement, at paragraph 5, is it your understanding
18 that your first wife, Sally, will receive a portion of that
19 military pension at your retirement?
20 A Yes, sir.
21 MR. SCHERER: Objection, relevance.

17 A Yes, that is a food allowance solely from the
18 military m ember. BAS is not granted when you are assigned to a
19 ship or an y place that offers a facility to feed you.
20 Q How much is that?
21 A That is $279.88.

15 A No, my oldest son hasn't shown a desire to drive
16 and my dau ghter is currently trying to get her permit.
17 Q You have a loan on that car?
18 A No, sir, paid off that loan. I currently took out
19 a loan for a new motorcycle. The payments will start next
20 month and they are --
21 Q Shown on there as?
22 A $800.
23 Q Part of the loan paid through Carlisle on that
24 allotment?
25 A Yes, sir, that will come right out of that money,
20
I yes, sir.
2 Q On page 2 of your income and expense statement in
3 the right-hand column you are showing expenses for college at
4 that point, you list a total of $630?
5 A Yes, sir, correct. My son in his twelfth grade

23 A Yes, sir.
24 Q How did she do in school as compared to you?
25 A I believe Sally's grades were a lot better than
21
0 0
1 mine when we were in high school.
2 Q Both in the Carlisle area?
3 A Yes, sir, both graduated together in Carlisle.
4 Q Does she have any disabilities either physical or
5 emotional that would limit her ability to get a job?
6 A No, sir, not that I am aware of.
7 Q When custody was transferred of the two minor
8 children to you back in 2002 where, if you know, was Sally
9 living th en?
10 A At that point in time I believe she was living with
11 her siste r and her sister's husband.
12 Q Since that time you understand she has had two
13 other chi ldren?
14 A Yes, sir.
15 Q Not married though, she is not married?
16 A That is correct, sir.
17 Q We will find out from her, but you understand she
18 is simply working at Burger King?
19 A Yes, sir.
20 Q Do you know anything that would prohibit her from
21 going out and getting a job over the past few years that would
22 pay benefits and be a better paying position?
23 A No, sir, I don't.
24 Q Why didn't you seek child support from your ex-wife
25 when you h ad the kids?
22
0 0
1 A Sir, at the time that I asked for the kids and said
2 that to Mr. Scherer's office, who drafted the paperwork, it was
3 never my intention to put her in a bad financial state. But
4 the way I explained it was give me the kids, I will continue to
5 pay alimony and give you a chance to get back on her feet.
6 I have had the kids five years now and it seems
7 like Sally's situation continually gets worse, due to poor
8 choices, than gets better.
9 She has had two children out of wedlock, which,
10 obviously, that can be a huge financial burden. Obviously,
11 mine has gotten better over time, but I choose to do the right
12 things in the military to get promoted and make things better
13 for my family, which include Kenny and Ashley.
14 Q You are asking the Court to terminate alimony at
15 this point?
16 A Yes, sir, I am.
17 Q Understanding that if the Court did terminate
18 alimony, you could then walk out the door and seek child
19 support, is it your intention not to seek child support?
20 A No, sir, I have no intention to seek child support.
21 Q If the Court was so inclined, would you be
22 satisfied if the Court merely suspended your alimony obligation
23 as long as the children are still a minority and kept it
24 suspended as long as you had custody and did not seek support?
25 A Yes, sir, I would be willing to do that.

9 Q I understand, Mr. Jones, that you were an E3 when
10 you married Sally?
11 A That is correct.
12 Q Your present grade is an E8?
13 A Yes, sir.
14 Q Have you received additional training in the
15 military that has qualified you for promotions?
16 A Yes, sir, I have been to school. I am an
17 independent duty corpsman, which allows me to go out on a ship
18 solely without a doctor or a nurse and basically treat war
19 causalities. There is no equivalent to that in the civilian
20 sector.
21 Q Is that schooling within the military?
22 A Yes, sir, it is within the military.
23 Q You suggested that perhaps Sally was under-employed
24 as a worker at Burger King. Are you aware of the skills that
25 she has that would qualify her for a job paying more than
24
0 0
1 Burger King?
2 A Yes, sir, even benefits. I have got a 17-year-old
3 son who just got a cashier job as a GS grade in the commissary.
4 My father worked at the commissary here at Carlisle. He was
5 produce manager, and at one point in time after the divorce had
6 offered Sally that he would help her get a job there. She
7 chose not to do that.
8 But I just would like to say if my 17-year-old son
9 can go out and get a job as a GS4 which at full-time qualifies
10 you for benefits and making every bit as much money as she has
11 at Burger King, I believe she has got the skills to do it also
12 and isn't even in high school.
13 Q You are saying he makes about $10 an hour as a
14 cashier?
15 A He is making $9 an hour as a cashier right now,
16 yes, sir, part-time.
17 Q The housing that you live in, it is supplied by the
18 military?
19 A No, sir, it is actually owned by what they call
20 Lincoln military housing, which is a private venture. They
21 basically buy all military housing across the U.S. Though it
22 is still on a military installation, the agreement when they
23 bought the housing out was anybody living in this housing would
24 have to forfeit their entire basic allowance for housing to
25 live there.

Q So I see from your income expense statement you pay
$1077 per month for rent, is that the same number you told us
for BAH?
A Yes, sir, it is.
Q Is one of the two of them BAH or BAS not taxed for
Federal income tax purposes?
A BAH is not taxed, unless you are claiming earned
income credit.
Q With regard to child support, you realize that at
any time you had primary custody of Ashley and Kenneth, Jr.,
that you could have filed for child support?
A I do realize that, but that has never been my
intention. My intention was never to take any money from Sally
whatsoever.
Q I took a look at your leave and earning statement
and I think you told us that, correct me if I am wrong, that
your monthly income is $4,347?
A Sir, my base pay is $4,347. Total month income
would be $5,704.18. That would include basic allowance for
housing and basic allowance for subsistence.
Q So annually that would be roughly $60,000?
A Yes, sir, just short therewith.
Q Which is about $12,000, which is the BAH untaxed
for Federal income tax?
A Yes, sir.

marked as Respondent's Exhibit No. 4, and I will tell you that
it is your W-2 from the year 1997 along with your federal
income tax return for 1997, can you take a look at that,
please.
A Yes, sir, I haven't seen it in awhile.
Q You agree with me that your income now is more than
double what it was in --
A I would agree with that if basic allowance for
housing was also included in on this W-2, which it is not, just
as my current one does not list basic allowance for housing.
Yes, it has doubled, it has gone from 27,000 to
42,000.
MR. SCHERER: Thank you, Mr. Jones, I don't have
any other questions.
THE COURT: Any redirect?
REDIRECT EXAMINATION

Q Mr. Jones, you mentioned your wife getting a job
and made reference to your father working at the commissary.

Q If you got a job out there would you have health
benefits?
A Yes, sir.
Q Would your hourly rate increase regularly with cost
of living, et cetera?
A Yes, sir, it would.
Q Again, referring to R-4, which is basically your
W-2 for the year '97, your total salary on that was $27,600, is
that right?
A That is correct.
Q For tax purposes?
A Yes, sir.
Q Referring to Plaintiff's Exhibit 5 which is your
W-2 for '06, your taxable salary is $42,789?
A Yes, sir.

§666(bx7)). If a Federal tax levy is in effect, please notify the sender.
Combining Payments: When remitting payments to an SDU or Tribal CSE agency, you may combine withheld amounts from

obligor's portion of the payment.
'ayments To SDU: You must send child support payments payable by income withholding to the appropriate SDU or to a
Tribal CSE agency. If this IWO instructs you to send a payment to an entity other than an SDU (e.g., payable to the custodial
)arty, court, or attorney), you must check the box above and return this notice to the sender. Exception: If this IWO was sent

CSE Agency Case Identifier: (See Addendum for case summary) Order Identifier: (See Addendum for order/docket information)
Withholding Limits: You may not withhold more than the lesser of: 1) the amounts allowed by the Federal Consumer Credit Protection
Act (CCPA) (15 U.S.C. 1673(b)); or 2) the amounts allowed by the State or Tribe of the employee/obligor's principal place of
employment (see REMITTANCE INFORMATION). Disposable income is the net income left after making mandatory deductions such
as: State, Federal, local taxes; Social Security taxes; statutory pension contributions; and Medicare taxes. The Federal limit is 50% of
the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another family and 60% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting
another family. However, those limits increase 5% - to 55% and 65% - if the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the State
or Tribe, you may deduct a fee for administrative costs. The combined support amount and fee may not exceed the limit indicated in
this section.
For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal employers/income
withholders who receive a State IWO, you may not withhold more than the lesser of the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which
the employer/income withholder is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the CCPA (15 U,S.C. 1673 (b)).
Depending upon applicable State or Tribal law, you may need to also consider the amounts paid for health care premiums in
determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits.
Arrears greater than 12 weeks? If the Order Information does not indicate that the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then the
Employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage.
