TINA L. KENNEDY, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
vs. NO. 98 - 4167 CIVIL
EDWARD R. KENNEDY,
Defendant IN DIVORCE
RE: Pre-Hearing Conference Memorandum
DATE: Wednesday, December 30, 1998
Present for the Plaintiff, Tina L. Kennedy, is
attorney Hubert X. Gilroy. Also present is the Plaintif.f, Tina
L. Kennedy, and the Defendant, Edward R. Kennedy, who is not
represented by counsel and is appearing pro se.
A divorce complaint was filed on January 23, 1998,
raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the
marriage and indignities. The parties have indicated that they
will both sign affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of
intention to request entry of divorce decree prior to the
hearing so that the divorce can be concluded under section
3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code.
The complaint also raised the economic claims of
equitable distribution, alimony, alimony pendente lite, and
counsel fees and costs. The parties have indicated that they
will not offer any testimony on the factor of marital misconduct
as that factor may affect wife's alimony claim.
The parties were married on December 19, 1987, and
separated in February 1997. They are the natural parents of one
child, Alyssa, who is nine years old and lives with the father.
Wife has two children of a prior relationship, one
of those children, a daughter, Sheena, lives with her. The
other child of that relationship, a son, is emancipated.
Wife is 38 years of age and resides at 5400 Spring
Road, Apartment 4, Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania 17090. As
previously noted, she lives with the daughter of a prior
relationship and her brother, Larry Israel. Wife has a GED but
is currently unemployed because of a disability arising out of
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She has a medical card and is receiving
$152.00 every two weeks from assistance. She is able to live in
her present apartment because it is owned by her grandmother and
she is not currently paying rent. She is paying $25.00 a month
on arrearages for a support order that had existed for Dustin,
her son from a prior relationship. She is currently not
receiving nor paying any other support or alimony pendente lite.
Wife, when she was working, had been employed with Gancom
through JFC and was working as a mail sorter. She indicated
that she had been offered a position with that company but
because of her illness was not able to take a full-time
position. She did indicate that her prognosis does look hopeful
and that she should be continuing treatment and will be able at
some point to resume employment.
Husband is 31 years of age and resides at 128 Woods
Road, Newville, Pennsylvania, where he lives with the daughter
Alyssa. He is a high school graduate and is self-employed as a
laborer in the construction field. He reported a 1997 gross
income of $33,000.00 and a net of $20,515.00. His explanation
for the large amount of deductions was because he had to buy a
number of tools in order to engage in his trade. The Master is
directing Mr. Kennedy to provide a copy of his 1998 tax return
to Mr. Gilroy and to the Master to be filed with the Court and
Mr. Gilroy by February 15, 1999. Mr. Kennedy does not currently
have any medical insurance but has applied for medical
assistance for the daughter who is living with him. Mr. Kennedy
has not raised any health issues.
The parties own real estate at 128 Woods Road,
Newville, Pennsylvania, which was appraised in April 1998
showing a market value of $115,000.00. Mr. Kennedy has been in
contact with Century 21 Piscioneri and the suggested listing
price for that property is $121,900.00 and Mr. piscioneri is
going to contact Mr. Gilroy about getting his client's signature
on the listing agreement. There is some issue perhaps about the
condition of the septic system and an unfinished bathroom in the
property and whether or not these items need to be attended to
prior to being able to attract a purchaser. Mr. Gilroy and the
realtor will discuss that issue along with the parties to see if
any remedial action can be taken in order to make the property
more attractive to a potential buyer. The property is subject
to a mortgage in favor of Keystone Finance with a payoff of
around $65,000.00. The mortgage payment is $600.00 per month
and does not include taxes and insurance. There is also a home
equity lien against the property in favor of Beneficial and that
payoff appears to be around $13,690.00. Mr. Kennedy indicated
he is paying $250.00 a month on that loan. Mr. Kennedy has
indicated that both the mortgage payment and the home equity
loan are current. Obviously, however, because of the expenses
related to the property and there being no other way to
accomplish a distribution of the marital assets, the parties
need to get the house listed for sale and on the market so that
debts can be paid against the house and there will be some funds
for each of the parties for distribution in the divorce action.
There is a claim by husband's parents against the
parties for monies they allege were loaned to the parties at the
time the home was purchased and later on as the home was being
improved. The amount of that claim is around $25,000.00 and
husband's parents have contacted Robert M. Frey who has written
a letter to Mr. Gilroy asserting the claim. Mr. Gilroy's
position is that there does not appear to be any evidence of the
loans and he has indicated to Mr. Frey that Mr. Frey can raise
the matter in a lawsuit and have the Court dispose of the issue
regarding the claim of husband's parents. Hopefully that matter
will be resolved prior to the equitable distribution hearing in
this case, otherwise, the Master will have to defer any action
pending the resolution of the claim by husband's parents. Also,
if they do intervene in the divorce action, then they become
indispensable third parties in the case and the Master will have
to withdraw.
Wife has a 1988 Chevrolet spectrum which she has
valued at $500.00. The other narital assets include some
household furnishings, some tools, and a topaz ring. Mr.
Kennedy indicated that he is really not interested in pursuing
any of those assets, being mainly concerned with resolving the
house issue.
The parties also have other debts which include
Members 1st, Beneficial, Wards, Sears, and Lowes. Mr. Kennedy
indicated today that on January 11, 1998, a hearing is going to
be held in the bankruptcy court pursuant to his request to
discharge his obligations to those creditors on those debts.
Mr. Gilroy was not aware of this pending bankruptcy action and
will have to consider whether or not he wants to involve his
client in the request for discharge since she ultimately, if she
is not discharged, will be primarily liable on the remaining
debts.
A hearing is scheduled for Friday, July 9, 1999, at
9:00 a.m. Notices will be sent to counsel and the parties.

Re: Kennedy v Kennedy
Dear Bob:
Enclosed is my pre-hearing memo in the above case.
Paul B. Orr, Esquire was communicating with me on behalf of Mr, Kennedy, Paul has
recently suggested that he will not be representing Mr. Kennedy in the event this case goes
to a hearing, Accordingly, I am copying Attorney Orr and Mr. Kennedy with this
memorandum.
I would not want Mr. Kennedy's delay in filing a pre-trial statement to delay the ultimate
scheduling of hearing in this case, Accordingly, in the event Mr. Kennedy does not file a
pre-trial statement, would you kindly proceed with scheduling this matter for a prp.-hearing
conference,
dch

Re: Kennedy v Kennedy
Dear Bob:
The Kennedy's have an agreement to sell the real estate at a sale price of $112,500.00,
Settlement is scheduled for June 30th, Naturally, the home has to pass any septic and any
other inspections, I will keep you advised of any developments. If we can sell the real

I understand you are handling a real estate transaction next Monday at 1 :00 p.m.
involving the sale of Edward and Tina Kennedy's property,
I am representing Tina in a divorce. Mr. Kennedy is unrepresented in the divorce.
The parties do not have an agreement with respect to the distribution of the proceeds of
the real estate. Accordingly, I anticipate that the monies be held in escrow post
settlement. We will be happy to hold the monies in our escrow account.
I ask that you provide me with a copy of the HUD-I settlement sheet once it is prepared.
