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. E. Robert Elicker, II Divorce Master ~ TINA L.
