No. 913-
CIVIl,
LARRY V. LEE,
Defendant
IN CUSTODY
ItnJ'UL}!,'r I Q!LF.:.QK_.IHLAQ'<<EJ;:!L9~DE;ILQF. _CUSTQPX
AND NOW, the pa.ties, by and through their attorneys,
stipulate and agree as follows:
1. The parties shall have joint legal custody of their
minor child, legal custody being defined as the legal rlght to
make major decisions affecting the upbringing of the child,
including but not limited to medical, religious and educational
decisions. The parties agree to discuss and consult with one
another on these decisions with a view to adopting a harmonious
policy calculated to promoting the child's best interests.
2. Each party has a right to be kept informed of the
child's educational and medical development and shall have a
right of access to the child's educational and medical records.
Each party shall be entitled to complete and full information
concerning the child f.om each other and from any doctor,
dentist, teacher or simila. authority, and to have copies of any
reports, notices or other communications given to either party as
a parent.
3. Each party shall notify the other of any matter relating
to the child which could reasonably be expected to be of
significant concern to the other party.
4. Plaintiff/Mother shall have primary physical custody of
the child.
5. Defendant/Father shall have partial physical custody of
the child, as may be desired and suitably arranged reasonably in
advance between parties, so long as any such time is compatible
with the child's academic schedule where currently enrolled and
her other local activities.
6. Defendant shall have pa.tial physical custody of the
child for reasonable period(s) during the summer; provided that
defendant gives notice to Plaintiff of his exact plans for summer
vacation(s) with the child not later than one month beforehand.
7. With respect to holidays, Plaintiff and Defendant shall
share them consistent with the foregoing terms and conditions for
pa.tial custody, and in the event of any special holidays, they
shall arrange to alternate th~m annually.
8. The parties recognize that the Carlisle area provides
the child with a familiar and congenial environment in which the
child possesses significant relationships with friends,
relatives, teachers and classmates. Therefore, Plaintiff shall
not remove the child from the Carlisle area, or more than fifty
(50) miles from their present residence, for the purpose of
changing the residence of the child to a location outside the
Carlisle area, or for any other reason, without the express
written agreement of the other party, or with leave of the Court
of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania obtained prior
to removing the child and not obtained on an ex parte basis. If
either party desires to establish a residence with the child more
than fifty (50) miles from the present residences, he or she
shall give the other party at least ninety (90) days written
notice in advance of the proposed move and all information
requested by the other party about the proposed move. If the
parties are unable to agree about the proposed relocation, the
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, shall
have exclusive jurisdiction of the parties and the child to enter
an appropriate primary custody/partial custody Order. Neither
party shall relocate with the child unless and until such Order
is entered by the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County.
9. Each party shall have reasonable telephone and mail
access to the child when in the custody of the other parent.
10. Neither party shall impair the other party's right to
custody or interfere with the other parent's custody when the
child is with that parent.
11. Neither party shall disparage the other party in front
of the child, attempt to alienate the affections of the child
from the other party, or allow third parties to attempt to
alienate the affections of the child from the other party.
12. The parties shall not involve the child in any of the
disputes concerning him/her, including but not limited to
financial matters.
13. Day-to-day decisions shall be the responsibility of the
parent having physical custody at that time. Additionally, the
parent having physical custody of the child at the time of an
emergency shall have the right to make any immediate decisions
necessitated by the emergency. However, that parent shall inform
the other parent of the emergency and consult with him/her
regarding the emergency as soon as is practicable. If either
parent should be unreachable at their office or residence, then
that party shall provide the other party with the necessary
information to facilitate notification of an emergency.
14. The foregoing schedule is based upon Plaintiff living in
and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, Wife and
Husband, intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree
as follows:
1. AGREEMENT NOT A BAR TO DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS
This Agreement shall not be considered to bar the rights of
Husband or Wife to a divorce or to such defense as may be
available to either party. This Agreement is not intended to
condone and shall not be deemed to be a condonation on the part
of either party hereto of any act or acts on the part of the
other party which have occasioned the disputes or unhappy
differences which have occurred prior to or which may occur
subsequent to the date hereof. The parties intend to secure a
no-fault divorce pursuant to the provisions of Section 3301(c) of
the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of 1980, as amended.
2. EFFECT OF DIVORCE DECREE
The parties agree that unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect after such time as a final decree in divorce may be
entered with respect to the parties.
3. AGREEMENT TO BE INCORPORATED BUT NOT MERGED IN DIVORCE DECREE
Upon either of the parties' recovering a final judgment or
decree of absolute divorce against the other in a court of
competent jurisdiction, the provisions of this Agreement shall be
incorporated by referenca or in substance but shall not be deemed
merged into such judgment or decree. This Agreement shall
3
, ,_.
survive any such final judgment or decree of absolute divorce,
shall be entirely independent thereof, and the parties intend
that all obligations contained herein shall retain their
contractual nature in any enforcement proceedings in any
jurisdiction, whether enforcement is sought in an action on the
contract itself or in any enforcement action filed to the divorce
caption.
4. ADVICE OF COUNSEL
Wife has been represented by W. S. Daniels, Esquire.
Husband has chosen not to retain an attorney notwithstanding the
fact that the attorney for Wife has told him that he has an
absolute right to be represented by an attorney. Husband has
chosen instead to negotiate directly with counsel and with his
Wife. Husband hereby acknowledges that he has done so willingly
and that he fully understands the facts and has been fully
informed and understands that had a Court decided this matter, he
may have received more or less than is provided for in this
Agreement. Husband knowingly waives his right, if any, to
utilize the lack of his legal representation as a basis to attack
the validity of this Agreement. Both parties further acknowledge
and agree that each has fully disclosed their respective
financial situations to the other, including their assets,
liabilities and income; and understand and confirm that they are
relying upon the substantial accuracy of these respective
financial disclosures as an inducement to the execution of this
Agreement. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that,
4
.;.-.,..
'.
after having received such information and with such knowledge
and assurances that except for those certain real and personal
properties specifically addressed herein, their available
resources are truly represented by their respective individual
earning capacities, this Agreement is fair, reasonable and
equitable and that it is being entered into freely, voluntarily
and in good faith and that the execution of this Agreement is not
the result of any duress, undue influence, coercion, collusion
and/or improper or illegal agreement.
5. PERSONAL RIGHTS
Wife and Husband may and shall, at all times hereafter, live
separate and apart. They shall be free from any contract,
restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the
other in all respects as fully as if they were unmarried. Each
may, for her or his separate use or benefit, conduct, carryon
and engage in any business, occupation, profession or employment
which to her or him may seem advisable. Wife and Husband shall
not molest, harass, disturb or malign each other or the
respective families of each other nor compel or attempt to compet
the other to cohabit or dwell by any means whatsoever with her or
him.
6. MUTUAL RELEASES
Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement:
A. Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally
releases and forever discharges the other and the estate of the
other for all purposes from any and all rights and obligations'
5
'i'
\
I
,
which either may have or at any time hereafter have for past,
present or future support or maintenance, alimony pendente lite,
alimony, equitable distribution, counsel fees, costs, expenses
and any other ri<;1ht or obligation, economic or otherwise, whether
arising out of the marital relationship or otherwise, including
all rights and benefits under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of
1980, its supplements and amendments, as well as under any other
law of any other jurisdiction, except and only except all rights,
agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which
may arise under this Agreement or for the breach of any provision
thereof. Neither party shall have any obligation to the other
not expressly set forth herein.
B. Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally
releases and forever discharges the other and his or her heirs,
executors, administrators, assigns, property and estate from any
and all rights, claims, demands or obligations arising out of or
by virtue of the marital relationship of the parties or
otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising. The above
release shall be effective r.egardless of whether such claims
arise out of any former or future acts, contracts, engagements or
liabilities of the other or by way of dower, curtesy, widow's
rights, family exemption or similar allowance, or under the
intestate laws, or the right to take against the spouse's will,
or the right to treat a lifetime conveyance by the other as
testamentary, or all other rights of a surviving spouse to
participate in a deceased spouse's estate, whether arising under,
6
the laws of Pennsylvania, any state, Commonwealth or territory of
the United states, or any other country. It is expressly
understood, however, that neither the provisions of this release
nor the subsequent entry of a divorce decree are intended to
defeat the right of either party to receive any insurance
proceeds at the death of the other of which she or he is the
named beneficiary (whether the beneficiary designation was made
prior or subsequent to execution hereof), nor to defeat the right
of either party to receive any legacy, bequest or residuary
portion of the other's estate under his or her will, or to act as
personal representative or executor if so named by the will of
the other, whether such will was executed prior or subsequent to
this Agreement.
C. Except for any cause of action for divorce which
either party may have or claim to have, and except for the
obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement and such
rights as are expressly reserved herein, each party gives to the
other by the execution of this Agreement an absolute and
unconditional release and discharge from all causes of action,
claims, rights or demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, which
either party ever had or now has against the other.
7. WAIVER OR MODIFICATION TO BE IN WRITING
No modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof shall
be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties, and no
waiver or any breach hereof or default hereunder shall be deemed
a waive~ of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature.
7
Notwithstanding this provision, under applicable Pennsylvania
law, the parties understand that any provision of this Agreement
relating to child support or to custody shall be subject to
modification by the Court upon a showing of changed
circumstances.
8. LAW OF PENNSYLVANIA APPLICABLE
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
9. AGREEMENT BINDING ON HEIRS
Except as may otherwise be provided, this Agreement shall be
binding and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns.
10. INTEGRATION
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the
parties and supersedes any and all prior agreements and
negotiations between them. ~here are no representations or
warranties other than those expressly set forth herein.
11. OTHER DOCUMENTATION
Wife and Husband covenant and agree that they will forthwith
and within at most ten (10) days after demand therefor execute
any and all written instruments, assignments, releases,
satisfactions, deeds, notes or such other writings as may be
necessary or desirable for the proper implementation of this
Agreement.
8
12. NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless
and until terminated under and pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon strict
performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall
neither affect in any way the right of such party hereafter to
enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any breach of any
provision hereof be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
default of the same or similar nature, nor shall the waiver of
any breach of any provision hereof be construed as a waiver of
strict ,performance of any other obligations herein.
13. SEVERABILITY AND INDEPENDENT AND SEPARATE COVENANTS
The parties agree that each separate obligation contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate and independent
covenant and agreement. If any term, condition, clause or
provision of this Agreement shall be determined or declared to be
void or invalid in law or otherwise, then only that term,
condition, clause or provision shall be stricken from this
Agreement, and in all other respects this Agreement shall be
valid and continue in full force, effect and operation.
Likewise, the failure of any party to meet his or her obligations
under anyone or more of the paragraphs herein, with the
exception of the satisfaction of any conditions precedent, shall
in no way avoid or alter the remaining obligations of the
parties.
9
14. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE
Any notice required by this Agreement to be sent to Husband
shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to him
at 97 Thornberry Road, Winchester, MA 01890, or such other
address as Husband from time to time may designate in writing.
Any notice required by this Agreement to be sent to Wife
shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to her
at 30 Liberty Court, Carlisle, PA 17013, and to W.S. Daniels,
Esquire, at One West High street, Carlisle, FA 17013, or such
other address as Wife from time to time may designate in writing.
15. ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER OF PARTIES
As long as the parties have any minor children or children
attending college, or any obligations remain to be performed
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, each party shall
have the affirmative obligation to keep the other informed of his
or her residence address and telephone number, and shall promptly
notify the other in writing of any change of address by giving
the new residence address and telephone number.
16. APPOINTMENT OF ESCROWEE
Wife and Husband hereby appoint w. S. Daniels, Esquire, to
serve as escrowee hereunder. The escrowee shall not be liable
for errors of judgment, nor for acts due or omitted in good
faith, but only for willful misconduct, fraud or negligence. The
escrowee shall be protected in acting upon any notice,
certificate or other document believed by either to be genuine
and to have been properly executed.
10
17. BANKRUPTCY OR REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS
In the event that either party becomes a debtor in any
bankruptcy or financial reorganization proceedings of any kind
while any obligations remain to be performed by that party for
the benefit of the other party pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, the debtor spouse hereby waives, releases and
relinquishes any right to claim any exemption (whether granted
under state or federal law) to any property remaining in the
debtor as a defense to any claim made pursuant hereto by the
creditor-spouse, and the debtor-spouse hereby assigns, transfers
and conveys to the creditor-spouse an interest in all of the
debtor's exempt property sufficient to meet all obligations to
the creditor-spouse as set forth herein, including all attorney's
fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of this paragraph or
any other provision of this Agreement. No obligation created by
this Agreement shall be discharged or dischargeable, regardless
of federal or state law to the contrary, and each party waives
any and all right to assert that any obligation hereunder is
discharged or dischargeable.
18. EFFECT OF DIVORCE
The parties also specifically agree that the payments called
for in this Agreement are not intended to be a debt which is
affected by a discharge in bankruptcy. They further specifically
intend that Husband's obligations under the terms of this
Agreement shall not be subject to discharge in bankruptcy because
they acknowledge that such are necessary for wife to meet her
11
financial obligations and to support and maintain her standard of
living and that of the parties' children. Husband represents
that there are no bankruptcy proceedings presently pending in
which he is involved. Husband expressly agrees not to file a
bankruptcy action pr.ior to the completion of his obligations
pursuant to this Agreement. This debt shall not be discharged in
a bankruptcy action filed by or on behalf of Husband.
If Husband files for bankruptcy, this Agreement shall
constitute conclusive evidence of the parties' intent that the
obligations of this paragraph are in the nature of maintenance
and are not dischargeable under current bankruptcy law or under
any amendment thereto. Further, if Husband institutes any action
in bankruptcy or any other bankruptcy proceeding is instituted in
which Wife's right to these monthly payments becomes a matter for
judicial review, Husband agrees to consent to any motion filed by
Wife with the bankruptcy courts wherein she may request that the
bankruptcy courts abstain from deciding the dischargeability of
this obligation and any other obligations to her hereunder in
order to allow the appropriate Court of Common Pleas to rule upon
this issue.
19. CUSTODY
The parties agree that legal and primary physical custody of
Mical K. Lee shall be with Wife. Husband shall have liberal
partial physical custody rights in accordance with a schedule to
be agreed upon by the parties which shall be consistent with the
child's best interests and welfare, Husband shall also have
12
unrestricted telephone access to the child.
20. SHARED CUSTODY
The parties agree that they will share legal custody of
Mical K. Lee, legal custody being defined as the legal right to
make major decisions affecting the best interests of a minor
child including, but not limited to, medical. religious and
educational decision. Wife shall have primary physical custody
of Mical K. Lee, with Husband to have partial physical custody
rights in accordance with a schedule to be agreed upon by the
parties which shall be consistent with the child's best interests
and welfare.
21. CUSTODY COURT ORDER
The parties agree that they will forthwith execute and will
cause their attorney to execute the stipulation for the entry of
a court order by agreement which is attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit "A," STIPULATION FOR AN AGREED ORDER OF CUSTODY.
22. CHILDREN'S PREFERENCES
Wife and Husband recognize that the children may have wishes
and preferences of their own with respect to the custody
arrangements and Wife and Husband agree to give reasonable
consideration to those preferences.
23. DISCLOSURE OF CHILDREN'S LOCATION
At all times, Wife and Husband agree to keep each other
fully informed as to the precise location of the children,
including the address and telephone number where the children can
be reached.
13
24. TELEPHONE AND HAIL ACCESS
At all times, Wife and Husband agree that they shall provide
each other with reasonable telephone and mail access with their
children.
25. CHILD SUPPORT
Both parties understand, acknowledge and agree that they
have no right to bargain away their mutual obligations of
providing adequate support for their minor children. Therefor,
the custodial parent reserves the right to seek child support
from the non-custodial parent as may be required in the best
interests of their minor child, and based upon parties'
respective earning capacities. Should child support payments be
necessary for the proper welfare of their minor child, parties
agree that same shall be determined in accordance with then-
effective applicable gUidelines set forth in current Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure.
26. POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION
It is the intention of both parties that their children
shall be afforded an opportunity to have post-secondary education
if academically able and desirous of doing so. Accordingly, the
parties agree that they are willing to provide equitably for
same, and shall determine their respective contributions to the
cost of said children's post-secondary education by agreement
based upon parties' then-existing financial circumstances.
27. HEALTH INSURANCE AND MEDICAL EXPENSES--CHILDREN
Wife shall provide full health care insurance coverage for
14
the benefit of the dependent children. Wife shall be responsible
for payment of the routine noncovered medical and/or dental
expenses for the dependent children. Wife and Husband agree to
be jointly responsible for any extraordinary medical and/or
dental expenses for the dependent children, provided that, except
in an emergency situation, the decision to incur extraordinary
medical and/or dental expenses shall be a joint one between the
parties and Husband agrees not to withhold his consent for any
such expenses which are reasonably necessary.
28. TERMINATION OF CHILD SUPPORT
Husband's child support obligations shall terminate in the
event of his death so long as he has complied with the insurance
provisions of this Agreement. If Husband fails to maintain the
required insurance, his child support obligations under this
Agreement shall be an obligation of his estate.
29. MODIFICATION OF SUPPORT PAYMENTS
It is the intention of the parties that the support payments
set forth herein shall be subject to modification in the event of
a substantial change of circumstances, as provided by applicable
law. The parties agree that a substantial change in the custody
arrangement which is presently in effect shall be considered a
substantial chage of circumstances warranting modification of the
payments. In the event of the parties' inability to agree upon
mOdification, the matter shall be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
15
30. ALIMONY
Upon entry of the decree in divorce between the parties, and
for a term of six (6) years thereafter, Husband shall pay Wife
alimony, in the amount of $2,000.00 per month for 36 months, and
the amount of $1,500.00 per month for the next 36 months. Such
payments shall be due and payable to Wife on or before the first
day of each and every month commencing with the first day of the
month following divorce.
Should Husband default on payment of the parties' joint
liability owed to the First National Bank of Greencastle as set
forth in Paragraph 43 herein, and should said Lender demand
payment from Wife in part or in whole, the parties agree that
Husband shall pay compensatory and additional alimony to Wife
monthly. The amount shall be as prescribed per the terms of
their Demand Grid Note dated March 10, 1994 and amended by their
Modification Agreement dated August 1, 1997, as the same may
change from time to time in accordance with applicable provisions
therein until payoff to Lender is completed.
31. COST OF LIVING INCREASE
The payments due Wife as alimony pursuant to this Agreement
shall be annually adjusted for inflation as of January 1 of each
year. The new amount payable will be the base payment (as
defined herein) plus the base payment multiplied by the
percentage increase in prices over the preceding twelve months in
the Revised Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners and
clerical workers in south Central Pennsylvania prepared by the
16
Department of Labor. The base payment will be the original
monthly payment plus any adjustments for all prior years, and in
no event shall same be adjusted downward.
32. ALIMONY PAYMENTS TO BE NONMODIFIABLE
The parties hereby confirm that they have negotiated their
overall agreement based upon nonmodifiability of the alimony
payments set forth in Paragraph 30, and that it is their specific
agreement and understanding that they said payments shall not be
subject to modification by any court as to either duration or
amount, for any reason, except as specifically set forth in this
Agreement.
33. PROVISIONS IN THE EVENT OF BANKRUPTCY
It is expressly understood and agreed that Wife has accepted
the provisions of this Agreement relating to alimony for and in
consideration of Husband's obligation to make the other payments
required under this Agreement. In the event that Husband shall
file for bankruptcy and seek to discharge the claims of
creditors, then and in that event (a) Husband shall send a copy
of the Petition for Bankruptcy to Wife; (b) notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, or of the Divorce Code of
1980, as amended, Wife shall have the right to file a Petition to
Modify Alimony and to seek an increase in the alimony payable to
Wife in accordance with the provisions set forth in Paragraph 30
herein; and, {c} Husband shall not request the Bankruptcy Court
to discharge the claims of Wife pursuant to this Agreement.
Husband further agrees that if he received a discharge in
17
bankruptcy, he shall execute a Reaffirmation Agreement as
provided for in Section 524(c} of the United States Bankruptcy
Code, reaffirming his obligations to Wife and children under this
Agreement.
