changed circumstances of a substantial and continuing nature.
Said award will be terminated upon the marriage or
cohabitation of the wife or the death of either party. It is
deductible by the husband from his income taxes and income to

alimony is modifiable upon a showing by either party of
changed circumstances of a substantial and continuing nature.
Said award will be terminated upon the marriage or
cohabitation of the wife or the death of either party. It is
deductible by the husband from his income taxes and income to
the wife. There shall be an obligation on each par'ty to
notify the other upon a substantial change in their

month. It is understood that if Blue Cross/Blue Shield raises

is in addition to the total payment of $1,200.00 previously
MS. RUPICH: And do you agree to those terms?
MR. IHJPP: Yes.
MS. HUPICII: And you understand that this is
not something that can be appoaled at this time?
MR. HUPP: Yes.
MS. RUPICII: Tlwt all of the issues are
resolved inclUding equit.able distribution, alimony, and
counsel tees?
MR. RUPP: Yes.
MS. RUPICH: You may not come back at a later
point and make any additional claims?
MR. HUPP: Okay.
MS. RUPICH: And you are in agreement with
those terms?
MR. RUPP: Yes.
I acknowledge that I have read the above
stipulation and agreement, that I understand the terms of
settlement as set forth herein, and that by signing below I
ratify and affirm the agreement previously made and int.end 'to
bind myself to the settlement as a contract obligating myself
to the terms of settlement and subjecting myself to the
.
and fiied affidavits of consBllt and waivers of notice of
intention to request entry of divorce decree sn that the
divorce can be concluded under Section 3301(cl of the
Domestic Reiations Code. Mr. McKnight.
MR. MoKNIGHT:
1. The parties have agreed that from the husband's
retirement proceeds wife will receive the sum of $20,000.00
paid in a lump to be paid through counsel in a reasonable
period of time and lIe will apply for that distribution as
soon as possible. Wife will cooperate with the application
for the retirement benefit.
2. Effective to the date of the divorce, the current order
for spousal support/alimony will be modified to a permanent
alimony amount of $85.00 a month that is terminable by
marriage, cohabitation, or death of either party. It is
deductible by the husband and income to the wife.
In addition, husband will pay a modifiable amount,
modifiable in accordance with the Domestic Relations
guidelines as if it were support but a modifiable amount of
equitable distribution of $588.00 per month. In addition to
that, he will pay the difference between the 5SI payment and
$527.00 effective the date that wife receives her first
monthly SSI payment, whatever the amount is. If the amount
she receives in SSI exceeds $527.00, the amount of equitable
distribution will be reduced by a like amount, so that the
total payment, including the $85.00 for alimony from husband
to wife, will be $1,200.00, $85.00 of which will be paid
through Domestic Relation and the balance of which will be
paid directly from husband to wife each month.
3. In addition to those amounts, husband agrees to pay
directly, on behalf of wife, the Blue Cross/Blue Shield
special care rates, whatever those amounts are and he will
keep t~at in effect until remarriage, cOhabitation, or death
of wife.
4. Husband also agrees to pay wife's share of the loan
that is owed for the deficiency on the home sale. Husband
will hold wife harmless on any claim against that loan.
(A discussion was held off the record.)
II'
THE MASTER: After discussion off the record,
Mr. McKnight is going t.o mako further comments regarding the
propos~d agreement.
MR. MoKNIGHT: At husband's request and with
Wife's consent, he will pay the amount of the special care
Blue Cross insurance directly to wife. Wife will Secure the
plan and notify him of the premium amount and he will pay
that to her every month. It is understood that if Blue
Cross raises their rates, he will likewise pay the increased
amount. This is in addi lion to the total payment of
$l,200.00 previously discussed.
The amount of the payment that is equi.table
distribution will not be affected by bankruptcy filed by
husband. It will be modifiable if husband is laid off and
receiVing unemployment or if he is injured and receives
worker's compensation, but it will not be modifiable if
husband voluntarily quits his employment.
THE MASTER: Ms. Rupich, is there anything
else you want to add or comment about?
MS. RUPleH: Simply that the parties
understand they will be returning to revaluate their
financial status Upon husband's retirement and application
of social security benefits.
