vs.
GREGG R. CARIGNAN,
Defendant
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
1) Petitioner is Karen A. Carignan, the Plaintiff in the above captioned
action.
2) Respondent is Gregg R. Carignan, the Defendant in the action.
3) The parties have separated and the Petitioner and the three children have
remained in the marital residence located at 6495 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg PA
17055. The children are: Cassandra Lee Carignan, age 16, born 10/19/83; Chase
Spencer Carignan, age 14, born 10/22/85; and Carra Lynn Carignan, age 12, born
12/1/87. Petitioner was awarded possession of the home by an Order of Court on
August 16, 2000.
4) The Petitioner has income from a disability in the amount of $539.00 per
month. The Respondent has not been assisting with support of Petitioner or the
children.
5) The Petitioner and Respondent in the course of the last fifteen years had
built a successful and profitable nursery and landscaping business, known as Gregg's
Nursery and Garden Center, operating out of a leased premises at 450 Gettysburg
Pike, Mechanicsburg PA. Recently, the Respondent has excluded the Petitioner from
the business using the fact that only his name was on the lease. The lease was
~
< .
~ "
"'" "
-",,,'"~'~ ,-',
~ ~',
obtained during the parties' marriage and constitutes marital property. The day to day
,
I,;
operations of the nursery, including supervision of employees, bookkeeping, sales,
ordering and customer relations were all performed or directed by the Petitioner. The
landscaping work and physical labor were performed by the Respondent.
6) Since the Petitioner's exclusion from the business the business is failing.
The actions by Respondent have resulted in the landlord attempting to take possession
of the property prior to the end of the lease. The landlord will retake possession of the
business premises on March 1, 2001, unless he is able to take possession earlier
because of a breach of the lease. Petitioner incorporates the action brought by Adam
Thomas against Gregg Carignan.
7) Petitioner avers that Respondent's neglect of the business will result in
the loss of a valuable 'marital asset. The Respondent has collected a large amount of
items at the business location, which items constitute marital property.
8) The Respondent is incapable of permitting the sale of these marital items
prior to the end of the lease because of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. This same
disability led to Respondent's lengthy history of litigation with Silver Spring Township
and the ultimate clean up and disposal of the items located at the parties residence.
Wherefore, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1920.43, the Petitioner respectfully requests:
A) That she be permitted to operate the business and conduct a sale or
auction of the items prior to the end of the lease,
B) that the Respondent account for the operations of the business during the
time he excluded Petitioner from the business. and,
C) such other relief as deemed necessary by the Court.

vs.
GREGG R. CARIGNAN,
Defendant
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
1) Petitioner is Karen A. Carignan, the Plaintiff in the above captioned
action.
2) Respondent is Gregg R. Carignan, the Defendant in the action.
3) The parties have separated and the Petitioner and the three children have
remained in the marital residence located at 6495 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg PA
17055. The marital residence is the only home the children have known. The children
are: Cassandra Lee Carignan, age 16, born 10/19/83; Chase Spencer Carignan, age
14, born 10/22/85; and Carra Lynn Carignan, age 12, born 12/1/87.
4) The Respondent is a very disturbed individual who has carried on a
twelve year feud with the Township and the Cumberland County Court. He has been
found in contempt of court multiple times and jailed multiple times in reference to the
storage of junk at the marital home. Petitioner incorporates those proceedings herein.
5) The Petitioner, with the assistance of friends and a local church, is in the
process of finishing the removal of the junk on the property and renovating the home so
she and the children can have a decent home.
6) The Respondent has come on the property and created problems for the
Respondent and the children. He has threatened that he will have the Petitioner and
_J . r '.-'_._0" ~ --" < _ . ,
.'^"-~,
r
..
the children thrown off the property. On August 9, 2000 he popped up out of the
bushes. He said nothing to the children or the Petitioner. He then began videotaping
the contents of the dumpsters utilized by the Petitioner to dispose of the accumulated
junk. After years of fighting the cleanup orders he began moving things such as
automobile engines, with fuel and motor oil still in them, into the home. These are the
items that Petitioner is disposing of. Because of the Respondent's bizarre behavior the
volunteers assisting the Petitioner are withdrawing their support, fearful that the
Respondent will involve them in legal actions.
7) Petitioner needs sole and exclusive possession of the home and the land
around it to provide a safe and secure home for herself and the children. The land
consists of 20,034.52 square feet with a 1 Yo story brick dwelling as depicted in a
subdivision plan. The relevant portion of the plan is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
Wherefore, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1920.43, the Petitioner respectfully requests:
A) That she be granted exclusive possession of the marital residence,
B) that pending a hearing on this matter that she be given temporary
exclusive possession of the property located at 6495 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg PA.
and,
C) such other relief as deemed necessary by the Court.

Respondent is Gregg R. Carignan, the Defendant in the action·
The parties have separated and the Petitioner and the three children have
remained in the marital residence located at 6495 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg PA
17055. The marital residence is the only home the children have known. The children
are: Cassandra Lee Carignan, age 16, born 10/19/83; Chase Spencer Carignan, age
14, born 10/22/85; and Carra Lynn Carignan, age 12, born 12/1/87.
4) The Respondent is a very disturbed individual who has carried on a
twelve year feud with the Township and the Cumberland County Court. He has been
found in contempt of court multiple times and jailed multiple times in reference to the
storage of junk at the marital home. Petitioner incorporates those proceedings herein.
5) The Petitioner, with the assistance of friends and a local church, is in the
process of finishing the removal of the junk on the propert3/and renovating the home so
she and the children can have a decent home.
6) The Respondent has come on the property end created problems for the
Respondent and the children. He has threatened that he will have the Petitioner and
the children thrown off the property. On August 9, 2000 he popped up out of the
bushes. He said nothing to the children or the Petitioner. He then began videotaping
the contents of the dumpsters utilized by the Petitioner to dispose of the accumulated
junk. After years of fighting the cleanup orders he began moving things such as
automobile engines, with fuel and motor oil still in them, into the home. These are the
items that Petitioner is disposing of. Because of the Respondent's bizarre behavior the
volunteers assisting the Petitioner are withdrawing their support, fearful that the
Respondent will involve them in legal actions.
7) Petitioner needs sole and exclusive possession of the home and the land
around it to provide a safe and secure home for herself and the children. The land
consists of 20,034.52 square feet with a 1% story brick dwelling as depicted in a
subdivision plan. The relevant portion of the plan is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
Wherefore, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1920.43, the Petitioner respectfully requests:
A) That she be granted exclusive possession of the marital residence,
B) that pending a hearing on this matter that she be given temporary
exclusive possession of the property located at 6495 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg PA.
and,
c)
such other relief as deemed necessary by the Court.

ordering and customer relations were all performed or directed by the Petitioner. The
landscaping work and physical labor were performed by the Respondent.

The actions by Respondent have resulted in the landlord attempting to take possession
of the property prior to the end of the lease. The landlord will retake possession of the
business premises on March 1, 2001, unless he is able to take possession earlier
