2002.
This is the date we set for a conference of the
parties and to take testimony on the factor of marital
misconduct with regard to wife's alimony claim.
Plaintiff, Linda D. Davies, and her counsel Joanne Harrison
Clough, and the Defendant, David S. Davies. Mr. Davies is
not represented by counsel.
After discussion this morning we have
determined that we are not going to proceed with any
testimony on the factor of marital misconduct; however, the
parties have had an opportunity to talk about the economic
issues in this case, specifically, the matters involving
the equitable distribution of assets and the marital debt,
In order to allow us to attempt to preserve
the marital real estate, we are going to have an interim
agreement placed on the record to give the parties an
opportunity to sell the real estate, The real estate is
located at 25 West King Street, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
The details of the conditions regarding the sale and the
escrowing of the deed will be specifically stated on the
1

recor'd by <.Ill.onleY Clou'Jh.

In the m"<.Intime 'II" will work I.uw,u-d
resolving the house: iSf3ue LInd also to Bce if we can
liquidate from any proceeds from the sale of the house,
some or all of the marital debt,
With respect to the
marital debt the Naster is requiring each party to provide
him a list of the current obligations that are due and
owing as of today's date which would include the credit
card companies' name and account numbers. This will allow
us an opportunity when we hopefully have some proceeds from
the sale of the house to identify the creditors and to
immediately arrange for payment of the outstanding credit
card debt.
With respect to other credit that the
parties may be claiming regarding the payment of taxes and
mortgage payments, we will deal with that at the hearing or
at a pre-hearing conference, after counsel and Mr. Davies
~:.
have had a chance to review the credit that each party is
claiming. Therefore, in addition to the statements from
the credit card companies, the Master would require that
each party prJvide the other with a statement as to what
credit each party is seeking for payment of marital debt up
to the end of January 2002.

The r1iwte,' hew been p,'ovided toddY with
dffiddviu; of consent und wdivenJ of notice of intention Lo
request entry of divorce decree which have been niCJned by
both pdrtieo and which will be filed by the Master's office
with the Prothonotary. The affidavits will remain in the
file and will be available upon settlement or ultimately a
Master's report and recommendation for the purpose of the
parties obtaining a divorce under Section 3301(c) of the
Domestic Relations Code.
The economic claims raised in the action are
equitable distribution, alimony, alimony pendente lite and
counsel fees and costs. Attorney Clough,
MS. CLOUGH: The parties have reached an
agreement that they will each execute a deed to the
property at 25 West King Street, Shippensburg,
Pennsylvania, transferring the property from David S.
Davies and Linda D. Davies to Linda D. Davies. They
further agree that attorney Clough will take the deed back
to her office to have it properly notarized and return it
to special Master Elicker who will hold the deed in escrow.
The parties further acknowledge that the
property is currently listed for sale with ReMax in
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and both parties have agreed to
a minimum sale price of $105,000.00 for this property. In
other words, if they receive an offer of $105,000.00 or

debt is paid in full, then that excess cash proceeds shall
be placed in an interest bearing bank account in both
parties' names requiring two signatures for any withdrawal,
or otherwise escrowed according to terms agreed to by both
parties.
The parties further agree that wife and
wife's counsel shall obtain a pension valuation for
husband's civil service pension and retirement benefits and
provide that promptly upon receiving the same to Mr.
Davies. Mr. Davies further agrees to sign an authorization
permitting attorney Clough to obtain copies of information
directly from the federal government and/or civil service
for the purposes of conducting said pension valuation.
The parties further agree that there is
additional personal property presently located at 25 West
King Street which neither party desires to receive in kind
in equitable distribution in this divorce. The parties
have, therefore, agreed to use Hershey's Auction or another
auctioneer if mutually agreed upon to inventory the
personal property at 25 West King Street, Shippensburg,

The parties further agree that after the
sale of the residence and the review of the pension
valuation, they will make a good faith effort to see if
they are able to reach an amicable resolution of all of the
additional issues in this divorce matter. If they are not

agreement but are each specifically preserving any said
arguments for the time of the hearing or settlement
negotiations.

MS. CLOUGH: It is specifically understood
that special Master Elicker and/or counsel for wife will
notify husband when the proposed settlement date is to
occur and husband shall provide special Master Elicker with
written authorization to release the deed pursuant to the
terms set forth in this agreement and said written
authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.
THE MASTER:
Mr. Davies. have you heard the
statement on the record?
MR. DAVIES: Yes, I have.
THE MASTER: Do you understand it?
MR, DAVIES: Yes.
THE MASTER: Do you have any questions about
it?
MR. DAVIES: The only modification that I
would like to make is the sale of the furniture -- the
proceeds from the sale of the furniture to be used to pay
the highest interest credit card debt instead of putting it
in an account at 2% or 3%, payoff an account where we are
paying 20% or 21% --
THE MASTER: Is that acceptable to use the
proceeds from the sale of the personality to pay on one of
the credit cards?
MS. CLOUGH: Yes, as long as it says to be
placed in escrow to be used to do that,

DA'rE :
HandilY, November 19. 2001
Present fot. the Plaintiff, Linda D. Davie:;. is
attorney Joanne Harrison Clough. The Defendant, David S.
Davies, is appearing pro se.
'rhis action was cOllullenced by the filing of a
complaint in divorce on November 30, 1998, raising grounds
for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
Both parties will sign affidavits of consent and waivers of
notice of intention to request entry of divorce decree so
that the divorce can be concluded under Section 3301(c) of
the Domestic Relations Code. No economic claims were
raised in the complaint.
On October 19, 2000, an amended complaint was
filed raising economic issues of equitable distribution,
alimony, alimony pendente lite. and Counsel fees and costs.
With respect to the factor of marital misconduct as that
may affect wife's alimony claim, we are going to schedule a
separate hearing on that issue to include testimony
regarding any extra marital relationships of the parties
and the claim of "indignities" that wife has raised against
husband regarding his conduct. Counsel and Hr. Davies are
directed to provide each other a list of witnesses as to
who will testify if it is to be persons other than the
parties themselves. The list of witnesses should be
provided at least three (3) weeks prior to the scheduled
date of hearing.
With respect to the affidavit of service, the
Haster has requested that Counsel provide the return
receipt card to be attached as part of Exhibit A and that
the affidavit be re-filed or clocked in with the
Prothonotary shOwing the date of the filing of the return
receipt card with the courthouse file.
Wife is 43 years of age and resides at 330
Belford Court, Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania 16066 where

of $2,600.00 per I!\onth. The order Wi.H, entered october 16,
2001. Wife has not raised any health is"ue".
Husband is 45 years of age aod currently resides
in Marion. Illinois, in a home owned by a friend's parent.
Ile lives alone. Ilis l1Iailing address is 1',0. !lox 205,
Marion, Illinois 62959. There is an emancipated child of
the marriage. Jason, who is involved with the dissipation
of marital assets. The Master is going to request that he
be subpoenaed to come to the hearing that we are going to
schedule on marital misconduct for the purpose of having
him offer testimony about the assets which he has allegedly
taken from the parties' estate, Mr. Davies has indicated
that he has been seeing a psychiatrist at philhaven, having
last seen the doctor around two months ago. The Master has
pointed out that there is a distance problem inasmuch as
Mr. Davies is living in Illinois, so we will have to
determine at some point if he claims any health issue
disability whether or not he is going to be able to
continue treatment outside of Pennsylvania. In any event,
he is claiming that he is taking an antidepressant drug,
paxil.
The parties own property at 25 West King Street,
Shippensburg, pennsylvania, which is listed for sale for
$129,000.00. Wife has been making the mortgage paymentS
recently in the amount of approximately $800.00 per month.
The payoff on the mortgage with Orrstown Bank is around
$65,000.00.
Also listed on the pretrial statement of wife
(husband did not file a pretrial statement) are two
vehicles, a 1994 Chrysler Minivan and a 1995 Pontiac
parisienne.
There are also listed as assets a VSIP separation
bonus, an unused sick leave value, and a civil service
pension value. Mr, Davies has raised issues regarding the
values used by wife; if he disputes the values that she has
used, he should contact a pension analyst to provide
information as to the values that he thinks should be
assessed for those assets. Specifically, he also has
indicated that there should be no value placed on unused
2
sick ledvu and indicated thdt he will provide un the
federdl rU<JulaLion reqilrdinq thdt mdttet'.
'J'h(!c.e hd!; been di!.lkil"'dlQ values pluced on the
l<.lOCJlble 1)('t'::on,11 IH'Operty by the pdt"! IL'''. \'Iu neeel to (jut

dlld dutL'nlllr,,' who heW the it<:llIs dlld tlw vdlue of the
pecsondlty each party hun in his or llec possession.
Finally, wife has listed some marital debt which
is based on credit card loans with Chase, First Union,
Dauphin and the Patriot Federal Credit Union. Mr. Davies
also indicated that there is other llIarital debt, including
a promissory note which the parties signed in favor of
husband's parents in the amount of $10,000.00. Mr. Davies
needs to provide a list of the debt which is outstanding
and also to provide us a statement showing what he has paid
on account of the marital debt since separation so any
appropriate credit can be applied on account of debt which
he has paid. Likewise, any marital debt which wife has
paid since separation will be computed at the time we do
the final distribution and allocation.
Attorney Clough has requested that Mr. Davies
provide a copy of the promissory note which the parties
apparently signed in favor of his parents.
In order to get this case ready for
hearing/conference, the Master is directing that Mr. Davies
file a pretrial statement to provide values on the assets
which have been listed on Ms. Clough's statement and to
include any other additional items which he thinks are
appropriate as marital property. He is also directed to
provide a list of the marital debt and a statement as to
what debt he has paid since separation. wife can also
provide a list of the payments she may have made on marital
debt as well.
With respect to the tangible personal property,
each party should provide the other with a list and then
determine if it is necessary to have the property appraised
if the parties cannot agree as to values and make a
distri.bution between themselves as part of a resolution of
the marital tangible property. Part of this issue involves
the property which has allegedly been taken by the son and
the Master has indicated that that property should most
likely be removed from the total values since it is not
available for distribution and not available for appraisal.
In any event, however, we are going to hear the testimony
3
of the :;on <l:: to ....hill. if ,my, P/OIH,'ny h.. hd:: 1,1I~(,11. It
is obviou:: lllilt he Ill<lY eho:;e lo invokc' hi:: /'iqhl:: under llh'

information on the d5!.iCt5 listed by hi::; "./lf4~ dl: folIo'"",:;:

Accumulated unused sick le<.lve;
Pension (Civil Service retirement)
Mr. Davies indicated that the son has taken
possession of the Pontiac parisienne; we need to have a
value on the Chrysler 11inivan which \...ife ha:'; in her
possession.
Mr. Davies is also directed to file a current
income statement. Both parties are directed to provide
each other and the Master a copy of their 2001 tax returns.
A conference/hearing is scheduled for Thursday,
January 31, 2002, at 9:00 a.m,. The conference will allow
a review and discussion of the assets and valuations that
the parties are going to develop between now and that date.
The parties are also requested to share the information
that is developed with each other, specifically Mr. Davies
should provide wife's counsel with copies of all of the
documents which he is to gather to prepare for the
conference and those documents should be provided at least
two (2) weeks prior to January 31, 2002. If wife likewise
provides any additional data to be included in her
settlement discussion, she should provide the information
to husband two (2) weeks prior to the conference date.
Also, on that date, for the hearing part of the
meeting, we are going to hear testimony, if the parties
choose to offer testimony, on the factor of marital
misconduct as that factor may affect wife's alimony claim,
and we will also have an opportunity to hear any testimony
which the parties may want to elicit from Jason regarding
the dissipation and disposition of certain items of
household tangible personal property. Also, the
conference will allow the parties an opportunity to discuss
the situation regarding Jason with him being present as
part of the discussion, A subpoena will be issued from
Cumberland County, pennsylvania, for Jason Davies. The
parties will share the cost of the subpoena and in
4
determining thv dllocc.ition of the costs in these
proceeding:;, the Ma:;ter wi J 1 make a finding that the cost
of the subpoena and service will be divided equally between
the partieo.;.
