FORREST F. CRAIG,
Defendant
MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY
AND NOW COMES, the Defendant, Forrest F. Craig, by and through his
Attorney, Jane Adams, Esquire, and moves this Honorable Court as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Patrice D. Craig, (hereinafter referred to as "Wife"), and Defendant,
Forrest F. Craig, (hereinafter referred to as "Husband") were married on October 13,
1978.
2. The above-captioned action was initiated by Wife filing a Complaint in Divorce
on January 27, 2003, which contained a claim for Equitable Distribution, Alimony, and
Alimony Pendente Lite.
3. On May 2, 2005, a Motion to Appoint the Master in the above-captioned case was
filed.
4. On May 19,2005, Wife's attorney signed a discovery certification indicating that
it was anticipated that discovery would be complete within sixty (60) days.
5. Since that time Husband has received and responded to Wife's Interrogatories and
Request for Production of Documents; Husband is not currently aware of any further
discovery requested by Wife.
6. On July 13, 2005, after initially making an informal request for information,
Husband forwarded his First Request for Production of Documents upon Wife. In this
request, Husband asked for the following items:
a. Wife's Federal Income Tax return for 2004 and all attachments.
b. All bank statements in Wife's possession from January 2003 to present.
c. Any and all investment account or account statements in Wife's
possession from any firms other than Merrill Lynch, from January 2003 to
the present.
d. Any of Wife's IRA or Pension account statements from January 2003 to
the present.
7. On September 20, 2005, Husband again requested the above information via a
second copy of the Request for Production of Documents from Wife, which was sent via
certified mail, return receipt requested. (Please see Exhibit A).
8. Wife's counsel never requested an extension of time to complete and return the
Request for Production of Documents.
9. A pre-hearing conference is currently set before the Divorce Master for November
8,2005 regarding discovery. Husband is requesting that Wife's information be provided
before this conference. Husband also wants Wife to list any experts that she plans on
presenting at the hearing as well as information she will need from Husband to provide to
such experts.
10. Husband previously provided Wife with extensive documentation of discovery
regarding the parties' assets which included stock account statements for 28 months. Wife
had already received 20 ofthese copies in duplicate from Merrill Lynch beginning August
2003. The time, effort, and expense expended by Husband in providing this documentation
was extensive. The value of these assets fluctuates. If this matter is delayed further, Husband
will be harmed because he will bear the burden of reproducing a second set of documents if
the first set becomes stale.
I I. Husband knows of no reasonable basis for Wife's delay in providing the requested
information other than to delay the Divorce.
12. After his numerous requests, Husband still has not been provided the requested
information and knows of no other alternative than to request that the Court Order Discovery
of this information.
WHEREFORE, Husband respectfully moves this Honorable Court for the entry of
an Order Compeling Discovery in the above-captioned matter as well as any other relief,
such as Attorney's Fees, that this Honorable Court may deem necessary.

2.
action.
3.
4.
2003.
Petitioner herein is Patrice D. Craig, the Plaintiff in the above-captioned divorce
Respondent herein is Forrest F. Craig, Defendant in the above-captioned divorce
This divorce action was initiated by Petitioner by Complaint filed January 27. 2003.
The parties in this action were married October 13, 1978 and separated on August 18,
5. During the parties' marriage and prior to their separation, Respondent made
application to Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company in May 1990, as a result of which
Respondent obtained a life insurance policy on his life having a base coverage amount of
$200,000.00 and named Petitioner herein the primary beneficiary of such policy.
6. Attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as "Exhibit A" is a statement
from Respondent's life insurance company describing the coverage, amount and beneficiary

designation ofthe above-referenced life insurance policy as of November 8, 2004.
7. In July 2005 it was learned through answers to Interrogatories directed to Respondent
that Respondent had changed the beneficiary of the above-referenced life insurance policy to the
parties' surviving children.
8. The change in beneficiary from Petitioner to the parties' children was done by
Respondent without notice to Petitioner or Petitioner's counselor with the consent of the

although pre-trial statements have not been filed by the parties and a hearing has not been

§666(b)(7)). 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.
Payments 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

applicable) of the employee/obligor's principal place of employment regarding time periods within which you must implement,
the withholding and forward the support payments.
Multiple IWOs: If there is more than one IWO against this employee/obligor and you are unable to fully honor all IWOs due to
Federal, State, or Tribal withholding limits, you must honor all IWOs to the greatest extent possible, giving priority to current
support before payment of any past -due support. Follow the State or Tribal law/procedure of the employee/obligor's principal
place of employment to determine the appropriate allocation method.
Lump Sum Payments: You may be required to notify a State or Tribal CSE agency of upcoming lump sum payments to this
employee/obligor such as bonuses, commissions, or severance pay. Contact the sender to determine if you are required to
report and/or withhold lump sum payments.
Liability: If you have any doubts about the validity of this IWO, contact the sender. If you fail to withhold income from the

any penalties set by State or Tribal law/procedure.

employment, refusing to employ, or taking disciplinary action against an employee/obligor because of this IWO.

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.

Dear Ms. Adams:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Order issued by Judge Placey which, among other
things, schedules a hearing in the above matter to take place on January 23, 2015 at 11:00
o'clock a.m.
It appears that there is an error in the Order since it issues a Rule upon the Plaintiff,
Patrice D. Craig, to show cause why the relief requested should not be granted. This Order was
issued as a result of the New Matter I filed on behalf of Patrice. I believe that the Rule should be
issued upon your client to show cause.
Please give me a call to discuss this matter.

ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S NEW MATTER
AND NOW COMES, Defendant Forrest F. Craig, by and through his Attorney,
Jane Adams, Esquire, and hereby responds to Plaintiff's New Matter, which was filed in
response to Defendant/Petitioner's request to terminate alimony, and in support thereof,
hereby avers as follows:
1. Defendant does have retirement and investment assets, some of which are post -marital
and some which are set aside for his retirement, and he denies that he should have to pay Plaintiff
alimony from such funds.
2. Defendant has no knowledge as to Plaintiffs personal independent financial resources
or her ability to support herself. The parties were divorced in 2006 and he has paid alimony in the
amount of $1600 per month since that time.
3. Plaintiff has remained in a relationship with her paramour since the time of the parties
divorce, a period of at least approximately ten (10) years. Defendant is aware of facts which
would reasonably lead him to believe that Plaintiff is cohabitating with her paramour due to her
long-term extensive daily contact with him, and joint purchase of real estate.
4. Defendant has no knowledge of Plaintiffs health issues. Strict proof is demanded.
5. Denied; the agreement between the parties provided that alimony was modifiable upon
"a substantial change of circumstances" and said alimony would also terminate upon Wife's
cohabitation. There has been a substantial change of circumstances in Husband's health,
employment, and income as well as in Wife's living circumstances.
6. It is admitted that neither party has remarried or died. Defendant has knowledge of
facts, such as Plaintiffs co -ownership of real property with her paramour as joint tenants with
right of survivorship, which reasonably have led him to believe that she is co-habitating and living
in a relationship like husband and wife with her boyfriend of over ten (10) years.
WHEREFORE Defendant Husband requests this Honorable Court terminate alimony.
