future acquisitions of capital assets and income; the sources of income of both parties,
including but not limited too medical, retirement, insurance or other benefits; the
contribution or dissipation of each property, including the contribution of each spouse as
a homemaker and caretaker of the children; the value of the property set apart to each
party; the shared responsibility for all of the debts of the parties; the standard ofliving of
the parties established during the marriage; and the economic circumstances of each party
at the time the division of property is to become effective.
The division of existing marital property is not intended by the parties to
constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets, and the division is being effected
without the introduction of outside funds or other property not constituting marital
property. The division of property under the Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all
marital rights of the parties.
14. INTENDED TAX CONS,EQUENCES. By this Agreement, the parties have
5
-
'I ., . '.
~
... ~~j,
intended to effectuate an equal division of their marital property in accordance with the
Pennsylvania laws pertaining to divorce and equitable distribution. The parties have
determined that such equitable division conforms to a right and just standard with regard
to the rights of each party. The division of existing marital property is not intended by
the parties to constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets and the division is being
effected without the introduction of outside funds or other property not constituting the
marital estate. As a part of the equitable division of the marital properties and the marital
settlement herein contained, the parties agree to hold each other free and hannless from
all income taxes assessed against the other resulting from the division of the property as
herein provided.
15. TAX FILINGS. All federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed by
the parties have been filed, and all federal, state and local taxes required to be paid with
respect to the periods covered by the returns have been paid. Neither party has been
delinquent in the payment of any tax, assessment, or governmental charge. Neither party
has had any tax deficiency proposed or assessed against him or her, nor has executed any
waiver of the statute of limitations on the assessment or collection of any tax.
IS.A. In the event that there be any deficiencies in state or federal income
taxes, including penalties and interest, related to the joint income tax returns of the parties
for years prior to tax year 2004 (the year of the divorce decree), it is agreed that the
parties shall be proportionately entitled to any refund due to the parties for those years.
Accordingly, the parties shall be proportionately responsible for the payment of any and
all costs of defending the parties against any asserted deficiencies, or of prosecuting any
refund claim. Both parties agree to cooperate fully in filing any and all necessary
pleadings and documents, including protests, petitions, refund claims, and powers of
attorney.
16. ALIMONY. HUSBAND shall pay to WIFE the sum offorty-two (42%)
percent of his gross monthly military retirement. WIFE shall also be entitled to forty-two
(42%) percent of any cost of living increases.
The forty-two (42%) percent figure represents the equivalent of fifty-five (55%)
percent of the marital portion of the retirement. The parties were married for 206 months
6
. ~
; I
--'
of HUSBAND's total 266 months of service, or seventy-seven (77%) percent of his total
service time. The alimony payment represents fifty-five (55%) percent of the marital
portion (seventy-seven (77%) percent) of his gross monthly amount.
!tis the parties' intention that WIFE's alimony be paid directly to her by the
military as a gross monthly amount, from which she will be responsible for the payment
of any and all taxes due. Likewise, HUSBAND's gross monthly retirement shall be
reduced by the amount paid to WIFE.
The parties hereby specifically agree that this alimony provision is non-
m0difiable for such time as HUSBAND continues to receive a military retirement benefit.
The payment provisions hereof have been negotiated to take into account the parties'
overall economic circumstances, including the equitable distribution of property provided
for herein, and were agreed to by the parties with the specific understanding that neither
the amount nor the duration thereof shall be subject to modification for any reasons,
including material changes in financial circumstances, employment status or marital
status of either party. The understanding was an inducement and condition precedent to
the execution of the overall Agreement.
17. LIFE INSURANCE. For so long as HUSBAND is able to do so at no cost to
himself, he hereby agrees to designate WIFE as the irrevocable primary beneficiary on a
life insurance policy insuring the life of HUSBAND as provided by his employer. In the
event that such life insurance policy ceases to be available to HUSBAND at no cost
through his employer, WIFE may elect to pay any premium necessary to keep the policy
in effect.
18. SPOUSAL SUPPORT. The parties aclmowledge that HUSBAND is currently
paying spousal support in the amount of $600.00 per month through the Cumberland
County Domestic Relations Office. The parties agree that said payments shall cease
effective on the date of this Agreement, at which time said Order shall terminate. Upon
execution of this agreement, WIFE shall immediately file a Petition to Terminate the
spousal support order. Any payment(s) made by HUSBAND after that date, not on
arrears on the account, shall be deducted from HUSBAND's obligation to WIFE pursuant
to Paragraph 16 hereof. In the event WIFE receives spousal support payments pursuant
7

. ~- - .;;
~ ~
. J 1--.

DAVID LEE ZOELLER,
Defendant
PLAINTIFF'S PRE-TRIAL STATEMENT
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, David Lee Zoeller, by and through his
attorney, Kathy M. Shughart, Esquire, and files his Pre- Trial Statement pursuant to Rule
1920.33(b) as follows:
1. Defendant's Inventory and Appraisement was filed on August 25, 2003.
2. Defendant does not anticipate calling any expert witnesses at this time but
reserves the right to call any expert witnesses in rebuttal or to amend this list to include
expert witnesses and in such event would notify Plaintiff of such witnesses prior to trial.
3. Defendant will testify on his behalf as to the valuations and circumstances
surrounding the acquisition of the marital assets set forth in his Inventory and Appraisal;
about the debts and liabilities of the parties as set forth on his Inventory and
Appraisement; as to the circumstances surrounding the parties' separation; and to the
standard ofliving and conduct during the parties' marriage. He reserves the right to call
any additional witnesses and will notify Plaintiff of such witnesses prior to trial. He
further reserves the right to call witnesses for rebuttal as needed.
4. Defendant may submit copies of the following documents as exhibits:
"
,
"~'" " [" I
~--
J
(1) documents relative to his military retirement income.
(2) bank account statements
(3) pension statements
(4) documentation regarding the parties' marital debt and payment thereof
Plaintiff reserves the right to call any additional witnesses and will notify
Defendant of such witnesses prior to trial.
5. Defendant filed an Income and Expense statement on August 25, 2003.
6. Defendant has not had his military pension or SERS retirement valued.
7. Defendant has not made a claim for counsel fees and disputes Plaintiffs
request for attorney fees.
8. The marital debts are set forth in Defendant's Inventory and Appraisement
and include the following:
AllFirst - $12,400.00
Washington Mutual - $610.00
Capital One Mastercard - unknown
CitiFinancial - $7,575,00
Fleet - $4,'312.00
Discover - $2,103.00
Sears - $1,778.00
Spiegal/FCNB - $817.00
American Express - $2,240.00
IRS - $4,726.00
Optima - $1,940
First USA VISA - $6,033.00

9. There are virtually no assets of this marriage other than the marital portion
of Defendant's military pension and his SERS retirement benefits. By contrast there is a
,',;P, J''''~",_~
~ ~~" '';',
,
- '- ~ '
_<,<;1. = ':,-1'
,-~ . ,'..
,",
.~
large amount of marital debt, the majority of which Defendant has paid. The SERS
retirement is not available to Plaintiff until Defendant retires, and thus must be addressed
through a QDRO. Defendant's military retirement was treated as a source of income for
support purposes and is not properly treated as both an income stream and a marital asset.
Thus, Defendant proposes an award of alimony. Defendant suggests the following
distribution of marital assets:
(I) Each party to retain the personal possessions currently in his or her
possession.
(2) Plaintiff to receive fifty percent of the marital portion of Defendant's
SERS Retirement via deferred distribution through a QDRO.
(3) Defendant to be responsible for sixty percent of the total marital debt,
a portion of which has been paid subsequent to the parties' separation.
(4) Defendant to pay Plaintiffthe sum of $300.00 per month in alimony
for five years.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Diana Zoeller v. David Lee Zoeller
No: 01-1785 Civil Term
Dear Master Elicker:
Following our pre-trial conference on March 4, 2004, you requested that we
provide you with an update on our settlement efforts at the end of the month. Although
we have a proposed settlement offer on the table and have provided Attorney Dolgos with
the information she requested at the pre-trial concerning COBRA coverage, we have not
had any response to the settlement proposal since we left your office. Thus, I would
suggest that this matter may have to be scheduled for a conference or hearing.
I would note that I am on vacation from April 16, 2004 through April 26, 2004.
Thank you for your consideration.
Cordially,

Re: Diane Zoeller vs. David Lee Zoeller
No. 01-1785 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Ms. Dolgos and Ms. Shughart:
Both counsel have certified that discovery is complete. Therefore, I do not expect
to be dealing with discovery issues at the time ofthe pre-hearing conference. I also
assume that grounds for divorce are not an issue and that the parties will either sign
affidavits of consent or have been separated for a period in excess of two years.
A complaint in divorce was filed on March 27, 2001, raising grounds for divorce
of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and the economic claim of equitable
distribution. Although the motion for appointment of Master indicates that economic
claims before the Master are alimony, alimony pendente lite, and counsel fees and costs
in addition to equitable distribution, no claims have been made except for equitable
distribution.
In accordance with p.R.e.p. 1920.33(b) I am directing each counsel to file a pre-
trial statement on or before Monday, January 5, 2004. Upon receipt ofthe pretrial
J~ '"
lei
"d
.
Ms. Dolgos and Ms. Shughart, Attorneys at Law

statements, I will immediately schedule a pre-hearing conference with counsel to discuss
the issues and, if necessary, schedule a hearing.
Very truly yours,
E. Robert Elicker, II
Divorce Master
NOTE:
Sanctions for failure to file the pretrial statements are set
forth in subdivision (c) and (d) of Rule 1920.33.
THE ORIGINAL PRETRIAL STATEMENT SHOULD BE FILED
IN THE MASTER'S OFFICE AND A COPY SENT DIRECTLY
TO OPPOSING COUNSEL.
FAILURE TO FILE PRETRIAL STATEMENTS AS DIRECTED
BY THE MASTER MAY RESULT IN THE MASTER'S
APPOINTMENT BEING V ACA TED.

RE: Diane Zoeller v. David Lee Zoeller
No. 01-1785 Civil, In Divorce
Dear Mr. Elicker:
Enclosed please fmd the Pre-trial Statement for the above-referenced case. As I
explained to Traci on Friday, January 16, 2004, I had just received your correspondence
dated December 10,2003. The envelope was addressed properly and was postmarked on
December 10, 2003, so only the post office knows why it took so long to get to me. My
best guess is that it was placed in the incorrect post office box initially.
I hope that you will accept this Pre-trial Statement despite the fact that it is filed
after your requested date of January 5, 2004. Although I am putting this correspondence
in the mail on January 19, 2004, due to the holiday, it will not actually be picked up until
January 20, 2004.
Thank you for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you
have any questions or concerns.

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR CONTEMPT AND FOR SANC IS
- '
.~~ ~y
-C --- ~7
--<
AND NOW comes Defendant, David Lee Zoeller, by and through his counsel, Kathy M.
Shughart, and files this Emergency Petition For Contempt and For Sanctions, based upon the
following:
1. Plaintiff and Defendant were involved in this divorce action which was resolved by an
agreement between the parties on November 3, 2004.
2. A true and correct copy of the Marital Settlement Agreement, which was incorporated but
not merged in the Divorce Decree, is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as
Exhibit "A."
3. Paragraph 9A of the Marital Settlement Agreement provides for the distribution of
Defendant's retirement with the State Employees Retirement System. See Exhibit "A."
4. Paragraph 28 of the Marital Settlement Agreement sets forth the parties' agreement to
cooperate in the execution of documents or further instruments which are required to implement
the terms and provisions of the Agreement. See Exhibit "A."
5. Defendant is prepared to retire, but can not do so until an Order is entered directing the
State Employees Retirement System regarding the distribution of his retirement.
6. The State Employees Retirement System approved the form of the Stipulation for
Domestic Relations Order by correspondence dated May 24, 2010. A true and correct copy of
said correspondence is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit "B."
7. A true and correct copy of the Stipulation for Domestic Relations Order is attached hereto
and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit "C."
8. Counsel for Plaintiff, C. Doran Vance, Jr., received copies of correspondence between
Defendant's counsel and The State Employees Retirement System dated May 13, 2010, May 19,
2010, May 19, 2010, and May 24, 2010. A true and correct copy of the correspondence dated
May 13, 2010, is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit "D." A true
and correct copy of the correspondence dated May 19, 2010, is attached hereto and incorporated
by reference herein as Exhibit "E." A true and correct copy of the correspondence dated May
20, 2010, is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit "F." See, Exhibit B.
9. On May 25, 2010, Defendant's counsel sent the final Stipulation for Domestic Relations
Order to Plaintiff s counsel for execution by his client. A true and correct copy of said
correspondence is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit "G."
10. Defendant's counsel did not receive a response and telephoned Plaintiff's counsel, and
left a voice message, on or about late June 2010.
11. During a telephone conversation on a subsequent day, Plaintiff's counsel advised
Defendant's counsel that she should contact Plaintiff directly.
12. Several days later, Plaintiff's counsel provided Defendant's counsel, via a voice message,
with an address for Plaintiff.
13. On or about July 6, 2010, Defendant's counsel mailed the Stipulation for Domestic
Relations Order to Plaintiff for her review and execution. A true and correct copy of said
correspondence is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit "H."
2
14. Plaintiff did not respond and on or about September 13, 2010 Defendant's counsel again
mailed the Stipulation for Domestic Relations Order to Plaintiff for her review and execution. A
true and correct copy of said correspondence is attached hereto and incorporated by reference
herein as Exhibit "I."
15. Plaintiff has failed to respond to Defendant's requests to execute the Stipulation for
Domestic Relations Order in violation of the terms of the Marital Settlement Agreement.
16. Defendant is being unfairly burdened and prejudiced because he is unable to retire until

the parties established during the marriage; and the economic circumstances of each party

to the rights of each party. The division of existing marital property is not intended by

waiver of the statute of limitations on the assessment or collection of any tax.
15.A. In the event that there be any deficiencies in state or federal income
taxes, including penalties and interest, related to the joint income tax returns of the parties
for years prior to tax year 2004 (the year of the divorce decree), it is agreed that the
parties shall be proportionately entitled to any refund due to the parties for those years.
Accordingly, the parties shall be proportionately responsible for the payment of any and
all costs of defending the parties against any asserted deficiencies, or of prosecuting any
refund claim. Both parties agree to cooperate fully in filing any and all necessary

percent of his gross monthly military retirement. WIFE shall also be entitled to forty-two
(42%) percent of any cost of living increases.

percent of the marital portion of the retirement. The parties were married for 206 months
6
of HUSBAND's tota1266 months of service, or seventy-seven (77%) percent of his total
service time. The alimony payment represents fifty-five (55%) percent of the marital
portion (seventy-seven (77%) percent) of his gross monthly amount.

reduced by the amount paid to WIFE.
The parties hereby specifically agree that this alimony provision is non-
modifiable for such time as HUSBAND continues to receive a military retirement benefit.

overall economic circumstances, including the equitable distribution of property provided
for herein, and were agreed to by the parties with the specific understanding that neither
the amount nor the duration thereof shall be subject to modification for any reasons,
including material changes in financial circumstances, employment status or marital
status of either party. The understanding was an inducement and condition precedent to
the execution of the overall Agreement.

himself, he hereby agrees to designate WIFE as the irrevocable primary beneficiary on a
life insurance policy insuring the life of HUSBAND as .provided by his employer. In the
event that such life insurance policy ceases to be available to HUSBAND at no cost
through his employer, WIFE may elect to pay any premium necessary to keep the policy
in effect.

paying spousal support in the amount of $600.00 per month through the Cumberland

spousal support order. Any payment(s) made by HUSBAND after that date, not on
arrears on the account, shall be deducted from HUSBAND's obligation to WIFE pursuant
to Paragraph 16 hereof. In the event WIFE receives spousal support payments pursuant
7
to the Domestic Relations Order currently in effect after the date of this Agreement, she
shall reimburse HUSBAND for the amount of such payments. As of the date of
execution, WIFE shall not be entitled to make any other claims for, and expressly waives

9. Member hereby nominates Alternate Payee as an irrevocable beneficiary to the
extent of Alternate Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement benefit
for any death benefits payable by SERS. This nomination shall become effective upon
approval by the Secretary of the Retirement Board, or his authorized representative, of

balance of any death benefit remaining after the allocation of Alternate Payee's equitable
distribution portion ("Balance") shall be paid to the beneficiaries named by Member on

Member's death.
(a) If the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form filed by Member prior to Member's
death (a) predates any approved Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation
and Agreement, and (b) names Alternate Payee as a beneficiary, then: (1) the terms of
the Domestic Relations Order shall alone govern Alternate Payee's share of any death
benefit, and (2) for purpose of paying the Balance via the last Nomination of
Beneficiaries Form filed with the Retirement Board prior to Member's death, Alternate
Payee shall be treated as if Alternate Payee predeceased Member. No portion of the
Balance shall be payable to Alternate Payee's estate.
(b) In addition, Member shall execute and deliver to Alternate Payee an
authorization, in a form acceptable to SERS, which will authorize SERS to release to
Alternate Payee all relevant information concerning Member's retirement account.
Alternate Payee shall deliver the authorization to SERS, which will allow the Alternate
Payee to check that she has been and continues to be properly nominated under this
paragraph.
10. Member may select any retirement option offered by SERS under the Retirement
Code at the time Member files an application for retirement allowance with SERS.
11. In the event of the death of Alternate Payee prior to receiving all payments
payable to her from SERS under this Order, any death benefit or retirement benefit
payable to Alternate Payee by SERS shall be paid to the Alternate Payee`s estate to the
extent of her equitable distribution share.
12. Alternate Payee may not exercise any right, privilege or option offered by SERS.
SERS shall issue individual tax forms to Member and Alternate Payee for amounts paid
to each.
13. In no event shall Alternate Payee have greater benefits or rights other than those
which are available to Member. Alternate Payee is not entitled to any benefit not
otherwise provided by SERS. Alternate Payee is only entitled to the specific benefits
offered by SERS as provided in this Stipulation and Agreement. All other rights,
privileges and options offered by SERS not granted to Alternate Payee by this Stipulation
and Agreement are preserved for Member. Member and Alternate Payee acknowledge
that benefits paid pursuant to this Stipulation and Agreement are and shall remain subject
to the Public employee Pension Forfeiture Act, 43 P.S. § 131 1, et seq.
14. It is specifically intended and agreed by the parties hereto that this Order:
(a) Does not require SERS to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not
otherwise provided under the Retirement Code;
(b) Does not require SERS to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of
actuarial value) unless increased benefits are paid to Member based upon cost of living or
increase based on other than actuarial values.
15. The parties intend and agree that the terms of this Stipulation and Agreement shall
be approved, adopted, and entered as a Domestic Relations Order
16. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, shall retain
jurisdiction to amend any Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and
Agreement, but only for the purpose of establishing it or maintaining it as a Domestic
Relations Order; provided, however, that no such amendment shall require SERS to
provide any type or form of benefit, or any option not otherwise provided by SERS, and
further provided that no such amendment or right of the Court to so amend will invalidate
this existing Order.
17. Upon entry as a Domestic Relations Order, a certified copy of the Domestic
Relations Order and this Stipulation and Agreement and any attendant documents shall be
served upon SERS immediately. The Domestic Relations Order shall take effect
immediately upon SERS approval and SERS approval of any attendant documents and
then shall remain in effect until further Order of Court.
WHEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms of this Stipulation
and Agreement, do hereto place their hand and seals.

RE: Zoeller v Zoeller
Cumberland County No. 01-1785 Civil Term
Domestic Relations Order
Dear Ms. Shughart:
Please be advised that your May 13 correspondence to Debra Murphy has been
referred to me for review. Upon examination of the draft Domestic Relations Order
("DRO") enclosed with your letter, I have determined that the following changes are
necessary in order for the DRO to be acceptable to SERS:
Please add the following paragraph to the DRO:
"In no event shall Alternate Payee have benefits. or rights greater than those
that are available to Member. Alternate Payee is not entitled to any benefit
not otherwise provided by SERS. Alternate Payee is only entitled to the
specific benefits offered by SERS as provided in this Stipulation and
Agreement. All other rights, privileges and options offered by SERS not
granted to Alternate Payee by this Stipulation and Agreement are preserved
for Member. Member and Alternate Payee acknowledge that benefits paid
pursuant to this Stipulation and Agreement are and shall remain subject to
the Public Employee Pension Forfeiture Act, 43 P.S. §1311, et seq."
Additionally, please make sure that valid Social Security Numbers for both the
Member and Alternate Payee are either included in the DRO or submitted with the
certified copy of the DRO. SERS cannot process payment without valid Social Security
Numbers for both Member and Alternate Payee.
EXHIBIT E
Kathy M. Shughart, Esq.
May 19, 2010
Page 2
After preparing a new draft of the DRO incorporating the changes set forth above,
please send me a copy of the revised draft for further review. Kindly note that SERS is a
governmental pension plan not subject to .the Qualified Domestic Relations Order rules
established by ERISA and the Retirement Equity Act. In the absence of an approved
DRO or court order freezing the benefit, a member of SERS cannot be prevented from
exercising the rights granted by the State Employees' Retirement Code, including the
right to make irrevocable retirement option elections. In the event a member of SERS
enters pay status prior to the entry and approval of a DRO, SERS cannot withhold the
alternate payee's share from benefit payments made to the member prior to approval of
the DRO or make retroactive payments to the alternate payee after the DRO is approved
and placed on file.
Of course, if you have questions or concerns regarding this matter please do not
hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation.
Sincerely,
....

authorization, in a form acceptable to SERS, which will authorize SERS to release to

offered by SERS as provided in this Stipulation and Agreement. All other rights,
privileges and options offered by SERS not granted to Alternate Payee by this Stipulation
and Agreement are preserved for Member. Member and Alternate Payee acknowledge
that benefits paid pursuant to this Stipulation and Agreement are and shall remain subject
to the Public employee Pension Forfeiture Act, 43 P.S. § 1311, et seq.
14. It is specifically intended and agreed by the parties hereto that this Order:
(a) Does not require SERS to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not
otherwise provided under the Retirement Code;

actuarial value) unless increased benefits are paid to Member based upon cost of living or
increase based on other than actuarial values.

be approved, adopted, and entered as a Domestic Relations Order.
16. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, shall retain
