SIMS, Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEA OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA VS. NO. 2536 CIVIL 2001 EILEEN R. SIMS, Defendant IN DIVORCE THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, September 17, 2002. This is the date set for a Master's hearing in the above-captioned proceedings, specifically on the issue of the date of separation of the parties. Present in the hearing room are the Plaintiff, Troy J. Sims, and his counsel, Joanne Harrison Clough, and the Defendant, Eileen R. Sims, and her counsel, Jennifer L. Frechette. Counsel have advised the Master that after negotiations and discussion there is no need to have a hearing on the date of separation issue and, in fact, that the parties have settled all outstanding economic issues pending in the case. with respect to grounds for divorce, although an affidavit under Section 3301(d) was filed along with a counter affidavit, both parties have executed affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to request entry of divorce decree so the divorce could be concluded under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code. .~ '- ~~, " II . n . -"l- 'J~ ,~, ,~ - ,- "-" Defendant filed her affidavit and waiver on September 16, 2002; counsel for the Plaintiff is going to file his affidavit and waiver immediately following our meeting here this morning. Therefore, the divorce will be able to conclude immediately under Section 3301(c). A divorce complaint was filed on April 30, 2001, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. No economic claims were raised in the complaint. On February 6, 2002, an answer and counterclaim were filed by the Defendant. The counterclaim raised the economic issue of alimony. Although no claim for equitable distribution has been raised by either party, the Master has been advised that there will be a statement in the agreement relating to two assets, namely, two vehicles and some cash payment to wife. The agreement is going to be placed on the record in the presence of the parties. The agreement that is placed on the record will be considered the substantive agreement of the parties and will not be subject to any changes or modifications except for correction of typographical errors which may be made during the transcription. Counsel have indicated that they are satisfied to have the matter proceed to the Court without having the parties return to sign the agreement affirming the terms of settlement. The parties are aware that upon their leaving the hearing room today and upon 1"1' , , . ~ --~~", the statement of the agreement on the record, they are bound by the terms of settlement even though there is no subsequent signing of the agreement affirming the settlement. Following the statement of the agreement on the record the agreement will be transcribed and the Master will prepare an order vacating his appointment so that the parties can then file a praecipe transmitting the record to the Court requesting a final decree and divorce under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code. Ms. Clough. MS. CLOUGH: The parties have reached a settlement agreement which they intend to have now reflected on the record. Both parties are agreeing that they will not return to review their transcribed settlement but will indicate their agreement to the terms of the settlement during the course of this transcript and colloquy following: 1. First, both parties agree to waive any claim to alimony pendente lite or alimony as part of this divorce settlement. 2. The parties further agree that wife Eileen R. Sims shall have the right to retain all personal property and household furniture and photographs currently in storage in Colorado and that Mr. Sims shall have the right to receive all of his personal property, tools and his other personal items in storage in Colorado. Mrs. Sims will agree to make the family photographs available to Mr. Sims at his expense should he so elect to have copies made of any of those photographs. 3. Mr. Sims agrees to pay the storage fees associated with the two storage units they are currently renting in Colorado through December 31, 2002. Mrs. Sims is to retrieve her personal items from storage on or before December 31, 2002. Should Mr. Sims elect to retrieve his items later than f,~", _" '7'1~1' ,~ 1 - ""~, "=~J'I December 31, 2002, he shall continue to pay the storage fees associated with his items but shall no longer be obligated to pay any storage fees associated with storing Mrs. Sims' items. 4. The parties further agree that Mrs. Sims shall receive the 1983 Nissan Sentra which is currently titled in both parties' names. Mr. Sims agrees to sign any title and transfer documents necessary to effect a transfer of this vehicle to Mrs. Sims and Mrs. Sims will pay any costs associated with the transfer of that vehicle. 5. Mr. Sims also agrees to pay Mrs. Sims a cash payment of $250.00 within 30 days of today's date in a final property settlement with her in this divorce action. 6. Mr. Sims shall retain the 1994 Chevy pickup truck which is currently titled in Mrs. Sims' name. Likewise, Mrs. Sims agrees to sign any documents necessary to effect the transfer of this vehicle to Mr. Sims at Mr. Sims' sole expense. 7. The title transfers on both vehicles shall be conducted by the parties within 30 days from today's date. 8. Mr. Sims shall retain all his tools that are currently in his possession and/or stored in Colorado in the storage shed. Both parties acknowledge that the travel trailer currently in Mr. Sims' possession is actually titled in his mother's name and that Mrs. Sims is waiving any claims thereto. 9. Finally, except as herein otherwise provided, each party may dispose of his or her property in any way and each party hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he or she may now have or hereafter acquire under the present or future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or the estate of the other as a result of the marital relationship including without limitation, statutory allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to take against the will of the other, and right to act as administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will at the request of the other execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments which may be necessary or advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEA OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA vs. NO. 2536 CIVIL 2001 EILEEN R. SIMS, Defendant IN DIVORCE THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, September 17, 2002. This is the date set for a Master's hearing in the above-captioned proceedings, specifically on the issue of the 'date of separation of the parties. Present in the hearing room are the Plaintiff, Troy J. Sims, and his counsel, Joanne Harrison Clough, and the Defendant, Eileen R. Sims, and her counsel, Jennifer L. Frechette. Counsel have advised the Master that after negotiations and discussion there is no need to have a hearing on the date of separation issue and, in fact, that the parties have settled all outstanding economic issues pending in the case. With respect to grounds for divorce, although an affidavit under Section 3301(d) was filed along with a counter affidavit, both parties have executed affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to request entry of divorce decree so the divorce could be' concluded under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code. ~=,~ ..co- .,_ ._, _e '_' .<_ _" ~",__",_",._~_ ~C'~'_-,___~_",~_,_ "--' Defendant filed her affidavit and waiver on September 16, 2002; counsel for the Plaintiff is going to file his affidavit and waiver immediately following our meeting here this morning. Therefore, the divorce will be able to conclude immediately under Section 330l(c). A divorce complaint was filed on April 30, 2001, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. No economic claims were raised in the complaint. On February 6, 2002, an answer and counterclaim were filed by the Defendant. The counterclaim raised the economic issue of alimony. Although no claim for equitable distribution has been raised by either party, the Master has been advised that there will be a statement in the agreement relating to two assets, namely, two vehicles and some cash payment to wife. The agreement is going to be placed on the record in the presence of the parties. The agreement that is placed on the record will be considered the substantive agreement of the parties and will not be subject to any changes or modifications except for correction of typographical errors which may be made during the transcription. Counsel have indicated that they are satisfied to have the matter proceed to the Court without having the parties return to sign the agreement affirming the terms of settlement. The parties are aware that upon their leaving the hearing room today and upon " ~.. ,-" -~ -, 'cP'-t~ , ,--'"_...,.- the statement of the agreement on the record, they are bound by the terms of settlement even though there is no subsequent signing of the agreement affirming the settlement. Following the statement of the agreement on the record the agreement will be transcribed and the Master will prepare an order vacating his appointment so that the parties can then file a praecipe transmitting the record to the Court requesting a final decree and divorce under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code. Ms. Clough. MS. CLOUGH: The parties have reached a settlement agreement which they intend to have now reflected on the record. Both parties are agreeing that they will not return to review their transcribed settlement but will indicate their agreement to the terms of the settlement during the course of this transcript and colloquy following: 1.

Robert Elicker, II, Esquire 9 North Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 Re: Sims v. Sims No. 01-2536, In Divorce Dear Master Elicker: I received your letter of June 12,2002 and am writing in response to the issue regarding the parties' date of separation. It is our position that the parties finally separated in January of 2001. While they were not physically living in the same house since April of 1998, it was not until January of 2001 that Mr. Sims informed Mrs. Sims that they would no longer be husband and wife and that he did not intend to move in with her and the children. Until that time, Mrs. Sims was expecting Mr. Sims to join her and the children based on his representations. The parties had agreed that Mrs. Sims and the children would move back to Pennsylvania from the Western United States area, and that Mr. Sims would follow. Therefore, I believe you must set a hearing to resolve the date of separation issue. I I[ II 1:1 !'i ,I Please feel free to call me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Jen . er 1.

I assume by this tirne that counsel have communicated and that all information relative to the c1airn of alirnony has been exchanged. However, there appears to be an issue with regard to date of separation and I need to have counsel address that issue. I have not determined frorn the file when the Defendant c1airns the parties separated although the Plaintiff c1airns that the separation occurred in April of 1998. Please advise rny secretary irnrnediate1y as to whether or not we need to schedule a hearing on date of separation before proceeding with a directive for pretrial staternents to address the econornic issue of alimony raised in the pleadings.
