are within the exclusive knowledge and under the exclusive control
of the Respondent, RODNEY A. MILLER.
4. The Respondent, RODNEY A. MILLER, is also a shareholder,
partner or owner of unknown interests in various business entities,
including, without limitation, Glenn Miller Beer And Soda Warehouse
Inc., Glenn Miller Meats And Deli, and 1029 Associates Inc., all of
which ownership interests have been acquired during the course of
the marriage of the parties, rendering them marital assets subject
to equitable distribution by this Honorable Court.
5. The aforesaid business ownership interests are within the
exclusive knowledge and under the exclusive control of the
Respondent, RODNEY A. MILLER.
6. The aforesaid business interests are family-owned
businesses held exclusively by Respondent, RODNEY A. MILLER, and
other members of his immediate family.
7. Respondent's unrestricted access to and control over the
marital assets of the parties, including any bank accounts, stocks,
certificates of deposit, Individual Retirement Accounts, pension or
retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts or business ownership
interests would permit him to withdraw and dissipate or secrete all
or a substantial portion of the marital funds or to divest himself
of his business ownership interests, thereby jeopardizing
Petitioner's rights of equitable distribution of the said assets.
2
8. The petitioner seeks the entry of an Order Of Court,
pursuant to ~~3323(f) and 3505(a) of the Divorce Code, 23 Pa. C.S.
~~3323(f) and 3505(a), and Pa. R.C.P. 1920.43(a) enjoining and
prohibiting Respondent, RODNEY A. MILLER, from transferring,
conveying, selling, encumbering, or dissipating in any fashion any
marital assets of any nature and however titled, including, without
limitation, all bank accounts, stocks, certificates of deposits,
Individual Retirement Accounts, pension or retirement accounts,
401(k) accounts, and business ownership interests in any entity
pending final resolution of all economic claims.
9. In order to avoid permanent and irreparable prejudice to
the Petitioner's rights of equitable distribution, petitioner
believes and therefore avers that it is imperative that this
Honorable Court enter an immediate Temporary Order enjoining and
prohibiting Respondent from transferring, conveying, selling,
encumbering, or dissipating in any fashion any marital assets of
any nature and however titled, until such time as a hearing can be
held on this matter.
10. At the time of the separation of the parties, petitioner
believes and therefore avers that Respondent was the owner and
insured on various life insurance policies and was the owner and/or
participant in various pension or retirement accounts, 401(k)
accounts, or Individual Retirement Accounts, of which it is
believed that petitioner was the designated beneficiary.
3
,
11. Since the birth of the parties' children, who are now
aged 5 and 3, the petitioner has been a full-time homemaker and
mother.
12. In the event of the death of Respondent, RODNEY A.
MILLER, the only wage earner and sole support of the family,
petitioner and the children would be left destitute and unable to
meet their reasonable needs.
13. Petitioner is concerned about whether Respondent will
continue to pay required premiums or to take other steps necessary
for the continued maintenance of any such life insurance policies
or whether he will change his beneficiary designations for such
policies, pension or retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts, or IRA
accounts.
14. Pursuant to 23 Pa. C.S. ~3502(d), petitioner requests
that the Court enter an Order directing Respondent to maintain all
insurance policies on his life, paying all necessary premiums
thereon as due and designating petitioner as the primary
beneficiary and the two children of the parties as the contingent
beneficiaries of said policies, pending final resolution of the
economic claims of the parties.
15. In order to protect Petitioner's equitable distribution
claims in any pension or retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts, or
Individual Retirement Accounts of the Respondent and to protect the
economic welfare of Petitioner and the minor children of the
4
.
parties in the event of Respondent's death, Petitioner also
requests that Respondent be prohibited from transferring any funds
or making any withdrawals from or loans against said accounts and
that he be directed to maintain Petitioner as the primary
beneficiary and the minor children of the parties as the contingent
beneficiaries thereof, pending final resolution of all economic
claims.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to immediately enter an Order issuing a rule upon
Respondent, RODNEY A. MILLER, to show cause, if any he has, at a
hearing on this Petition, why the relief requested herein should
not be granted. Further, petitioner requests the entry of an Order
temporarily enjoining and prohibiting Respondent, pending hearing,
from transferring, conveying, selling, secreting, encumbering, or
dissipating in any fashion any marital assets of any nature and
however titled, including, without limitation, all bank accounts,
stocks, certificates of deposits, Individual Retirement Accounts,
pension or retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts, and business
ownership interests of any nature in any entity, however titled.
Petitioner also seeks the entry of an Order of Court following
hearing permanently enjoining and prohibiting Respondent as
follows:
A. From transferring, conveying, selling, secreting,
encumbering, or dissipating in any fashion any
marital assets of any nature and however titled,
including, without limitation, all bank accounts,
stocks, certificates of deposits, Individual
