NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 1. $eparation. It shall be lawful for each party at all times hereafter to live separate and apart from the other at such place as he or she may from time to time choose or deem fit. The foregoing provision shall not be taken as admission on the part of either party of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of the causes leading to them living apart. Each party shall be free from interference, authority and control, direct or indirect, by the other as fully as if he or 1 '. :.IJ I, ...- ~~ __"b ~" ~i!l!'i2 ~ she were single and unmarried. Neither shall molest the other or compel or endeavor to compel the other to cohabit or dwell with him or her. 2. Division of Prooertv. The parties will divide between them, the personal effects, tools, equipment, household furniture and furnishings, and other articles of personal property which have heretofore been used by them, individually or in common. Husband shall retain the 1990 BMW, the mutual fund and stocks, Wife agrees to co- operate in transferring title and ownership of the vehicle. The parties' residence located at 114 Maplewood Avenue, Mechanicsburg, PA, shall become the sole and separate property of Wife. Wife shall assume and be fully responsible for the mortgages on the property. In recognition of Husband's contribution of $25,000.00 from money received from his mother's estate to the purchase price of the property, Wife agrees that at the time of sale of the home that she will split the net proceeds of the property with Husband. Wife agrees to the following terms in reference to the sale of the property: A Wife will not increase the mortgages or permit any liens to arise against the property subsequent to the date of this agreement. This shall not prevent Wife from refinancing the existing mortgages to obtain a more favorable interest rate. In the event a lien arises against the property subsequent to the present time, Wife shall be responsible to pay the full amount of the lien from her sale proceeds. The parties recognize that this provision is to prevent Wife from reducing the net equity of the property prior to sale. B. In the event of Wife's remarriage, she agrees that the parties will share the cost of an appraisal and she shall have the option of purchasing Husband's half interest in the property, with adjustments for the remaining mortgage indebtedness, said purchase to occur 2 .. ~ jJ .I I.. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,:; ---t'gltilllliili:'~-j , within six months of her remarriage. In the alternative, Wife can elect to sell the property within six months of the date of the marriage and equally divide the net proceeds. C. In the event of Husbands death prior to either of the foregoing events, his interest in a right to receive a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the home shall pass to his heirs. In the event of Wife's death prior to either of the foregoing events, her estate, personal representative and heirs shall be subject to paying Husband his net interest in the equity in the property, subject however to the payment of his inheritance transfer tax from his proceeds. 3. Child Custodv and Support. The parties have no children. 4. Alimonv and Spousal Support. Neither party will pay alimony and/or spousal support to the other. 5. Debts.
