In the event of abatement of the divorce proceedings prior to retransfer of the
marital dwelling into the joint names of Husband and Wife, Wife would be seriously and
fundamentally prejudiced if the marital dwelling were to be devised by Husband to one of
his homosexual partners or to anyone other than Wife.
WHEREFORE, Wife respectfully requests that your Honorable Court issue a Rule
upon Husband to show cause why he should not be required to retransfer the marital
dwelling into the joint names of Husband and Wife under the general equitable powers of
the Court under the Divorce Code and issue such other relief as may be equitable and just.
COUNT II

Mr. Donald C. Krafsig
1505 High Meadow Lane
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055
Dear Mr. Krafsig:
This will introduce the undersigned as attorney for your wife, Pauline C. Krafsig.
Your wife indicates that the circumstances in your marriage have reached the point
that it has become necessary for her to make the decision to seek an end to the marriage.
We would hope to be able to resolve all of the issues quietly and amicably within
the context of a mutual consent no-fault divorce. However, it appears that you took steps
in 1977 to have the Deed to the marital residence transferred into your name, alone.
Pauline has no recollection of this transaction, and we must insist that the Deed to the
marital dwelling be transferred into the joint names of yourself and your wife as tenants
by the entirety and recorded within ten days of the date of this letter. If we have not
received written confirmation that that has been achieved within that time frame, we will
have no reasonable alternative but to spread the details of your marital misconduct upon
the public record through the medium of our Complaint in Divorce. If you are unwilling
to transfer the marital dwelling into joint names, your wife indicates that she has some
information that she can convey to us involving serious marital misconduct which will be
made a matter of public record by being included in our Complaint in Divorce. If you
transfer the marital real estate into joint names with your wife within the next ten days, it
will not be necessary for us to allege the specific marital misconduct.
If you are interested in discussing the amicable termination of your marital
relationship after transferring the marital residence into joint names, we would urge you
to contact legal counsel and have your counsel contact this office.

Because we are representing your wife, we will not communicate with you orally.
If you choose not to engage counsel, we will respond in writing to any written
communications which you would wish to direct to this office. At the same time, we
must insist that you direct any communications to your wife through this office. Any
attempts to communicate with your wife directly either orally or in writing will be
considered to be criminal harassment and will be prosecuted accordingly. Your wife and
this office regret the necessity of our taking these positions with regard to
communication. However, we see no acceptable alternative under the circumstances.
We earnestly hope that we will be able to resolve by agreement the various issues
presented.
Very truly yours,
Wayne F. Shade

: NO. 01-3079 CIVIL TERM
DONALD C. KRAFSIG,
Defendant
: DIVORCE
: CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DEFENDANT DONALD C. KRAFSIG'S ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR
SPECIAL RELIEF AND ANSWER TO RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
AND NOW, comes the above named Defendant by and through his Attorney, Jay R.
Braderman, Esquire, and respectfully sets forth the following Answer:
1. Admitted as to the identity of the Plaintiff. It is denied that there is any danger to
Plaintiffs personal safety or that she must reside at an undisclosed location. Ifher personal
safety is at risk, proof thereof, if relevant, is demanded.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.

'. . "",",""'" -,- ~"- ..". --""'~ _"-,',,"0'",,, , "~'''",,,,c ,.-
- > ~- '., ,
"li"',~:
6. Admitted.
7. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Defendant is without knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief as to what was wife's "upbringing." It is denied further
that wife was "naIve about sexual issues" and that after reasonable investigation, Defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to wife's naivete. By way of
further denial, the allegations in paragraph 7 of the petition are irrelevant to the issues at hand.
8. Denied. The allegations in paragraph 8 are falsehoods, scurrilous and are irrelevant.
9. Denied. The allegation is a falsehood, scurrilous and not relevant to the instant
proceeding. By way of further denial, there have been infrequent sexual relations during the
marriage because wife's personal hygiene was extremely deficient making her less than desirable
to her husband.
10. Denied. The averment of paragraph 10 is a falsehood, scurrilous and not relevant to
the instant proceedings. By way of further denial, it is averred that wife, for many years, slept
with her clothes on and refused to disrobe in front of her husband.
11. Denied. Defendant Husband was employed in two jobs and was only absent while at
work. He did, however, spend inmunerable hours at home because of all the detailed handwork,
cabinetry and everything else that he did to improve the marital home. In the past twenty-five
-- . ""~>\
years, Husband has only been away from the house overnight on three occasions, two trips to
Virginia, and a trip to the Orange Bowl in December of 2000.
12. Denied.
13. Denied.
14. Denied that Defendant is a homosexual.
15, Denied. After reasonable investigation, Husband is without knowledge or
information as to what Wife "believes." It is specifically denied that Defendant Husband has
engaged in any homosexual relationship. Such averment is scurrilous and is meant to humiliate
and embarrass the Defendant when Wife knows that after 44 years of marriage that her husband
is heterosexual and not homosexual. Moreover, such averment has no relevance to the issue at
hand.
16. Denied. Denied for the same reasons as set forth in paragraph 15 above.
17. Admitted.
18. Admitted.
'^" ; "'-- '. ie, ' "0 ~-e. '
,
,"~ t<':"~'!liM,j
19. Admitted.
20. Admitted.
21. Admitted.
22. Denied. Plaintiff Wife agreed that her husband was much better at handling [mances,
so therefore, he paid the bills and took care of the household finances. Wife, however, was not
deprived of any material items. Her wardrobe consisted of over 1,000 dresses and at least 200
pairs of shoes.
23. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Defendant Husband is without information
and knowledge sufficient to form a belief as to the averment. Even if the averment were true, it
is irrelevant and is not germane to these proceedings.
24. Denied. There was always a vehicle available to Plaintiff. Plaintiff frequently left
the marital home to go with her sister to go on shopping sprees. Moreover, throughout the
marriage, at least up until the time that wife's mother was deceased, who lived with Plaintiff and
Defendant until her death, Wife spent all holidays with her family out of the house and not with
the Defendant. The allegation that wife has been a prisoner is a falsehood, scurrilous and without
foundation and is averred only to embarrass and humiliate the Defendant.

25. Admitted.
26. Admitted. By way of further answer, Defendant, at trial, will present the valid
reasons for doing so. Transfer of the deed to Husband was done with wife's approval and
without coercion.
27. Denied for the reasons set forth in paragraph 26 above. Further denied in that after
reasonable investigation, Defendant Husband is without knowledge or information sufficient to
form a belief of the fact that the allegation that wife was ""unaware" that the marital dwelling
had been transferred.
28. Admitted.
29. Admitted.
30. Admitted. By way of further answer, prior to Husband having an opportunity to
respond to the demand for the transfer ofthe marital dwelling, Wife's attorney filed the within
scurrilous Petition.
31. Admitted that there is no reason to re-transfer the marital dwelling as wife's rights
are protected by her interest in the marital property as well as wife's counsel filing a Lis Pendens
preventing the transfer of the property.

32. Denied in that such averment is a conclusion oflaw to which no response is required.
In further denial, this Court can enter an Order stating that the marital home is marital property,
which protects wife's rights in the event of Husband's decease. Certainly no buyer ofthe real
estate would purchase the real estate without Wife's signature on the deed. Moreover, as stated
above, Wife's attorney has filed a Lis Pendens, all of which adequately protect Wife's rights in
the real estate. Moreover, Husband, through counsel, has consistently advised Wife's counsel
that the marital home, no doubt, is marital property.
33. Denied. Denied in that the "allegation of prejudice" is a conclusion to which no
response is required. It is denied that Husband has any homosexual partners and it is denied that
husband ever made any attempt or discussed any attempt to transfer the property to anyone other
than to a prospective buyer. The allegation that Husband may have a homosexual partner is
vigorously denied and is a scurrilous attack and is made only to embarrass and humiliate him.
WHEREFORE, Husband respectfully requests that your Honorable Court deny the relief
requested of Wife and to further censure Wife and her counsel for alleging such scurrilous
accusations against the husband.
COUNT II
34. The answers of paragraphs 1 through 33 above are incorporated herein by reference
as though fully set forth herein.
.
, "--"''''--.<,l,~~",_'~>>--'''''--^
L 2;~;'
35. Denied. Wife is due to receive very substantial marital property which will more
than enable to pay her counsel fees and other expenses of this litigation. In further answer, many
of the expenses of the instant litigation were unnecessary in that the scurrilous averments added
to the Petition were not appropriate. The Lis Pendens and the fact that Husband, through
counsel, has readily admitted that the house itself is marital property, did not necessitate the Wife
to file the instant Petition and subsequent hearing. All of the legal costs incurred by the wife
were not necessary and she should be liable for her own legal fees and costs, especially since
Defendant Husband has incurred substantial legal fees and costs in his own right in defense of
these scurrilous allegations.

RE: Krafsig v. Krafsig
Dear Mr. Shade:
Please be advised that I represent Donald C. Krafsig. Mr. Krafsig has
shared with me your letter addressed to him of May 8, 2001. If Mrs. Krafsig
chooses to file a Divorce Complaint, be advised that I am authorized to accept
service of the Complaint.
I agree that it would be in the parties best interest to resolve all issues
"quietly and amicably." However, I cannot advise Mr. Krafsig to immediately
transfer the deed to the marital residence to joint names. I will not advise him to
do that particularly subject to the various threats made in your letter. I frankly do
not understand why the transfer of the deed is deemed to be so important when all
property accumulated during the marriage is presumed to be marital property.
In my opinion, your threat to "spread the details of your marital misconduct
upon the public record" would be ill-advised and accomplishes nothing.
If you care to discuss this case in a reasonable and non-threatening manner,
feel free to communicate with me. Also, Mr. Krafsig has in his possession, a tax
refund check made out to himself and his wife in the amount of$I,351.00. Mr.
Krafsig is willing to split the proceeds of that check with his wife. Please advise
what arrangements you suggest to guarantee that both parties receive their share of
the refund.

TRIAL MEMORANDUM OF DONALD C. KRAFSIG
1. HISTORY OF THE CASE
,/
On May 21,2001, the above-named Plaintiff, Pauline D. Krafsig, filed a Complaint in
Divorce in Cumberland County, against the above-named Defendant, Donald C. Krafsig. That
Divorce Complaint was docketed to No. 01-3079 Civil Term. Immediately prior to filing the
Divorce Complaint, the Plaintiff had moved from the marital home.
Soon after filing the Complaint in Divorce Plaintiff Wife filed a Complaint for Spousal
Support! Alimony Pendente Lite. Defendant Husband is 71 years of age, and Plaintiff Wife is 66
years of age. Both are retired from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A hearing before a
Domestic Relatiojls Conference Officer was held on July 19, 2001. At the hearing, it was
determined that Plaintiff Wife had a net income of $1 ,488.00 per month and that Defendant
Husband had a net income of $4,477.00 per month. Wife's earnings were calculated based upon
her Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Retirement. She never invested in, nor is she eligible for
Social Security Retirement Benefits. Husband was determined to have a net income of $4,477.00
per month, which consisted of his Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Pension, plus Social Security
Retirement Benefits.
i , ~'
. .
,-"
,,-~" . >
~
;21;"-
,.,
.
With those net earnings assigned to each of the parties, an Order issued from this Court
requiring Defendant to pay $1,100.00 per month for Alimony Pendente Lite, and $100.00 per
month on arrears. Arrears were set at $2,200.00 as of July 19, 2001, and arrears accumulated
from May 21,2001, the date Wife filed for support!alimony pendente lite. At the hearing,
Defendant Husband argued that the marital expenses, particularly in preserving the primary
marital asset, well exceeded his income, and therefore there should be some consideration of a
reduction in the amount he was to pay for alimony pendente lite.
As aresult of the Order of Court assessing Husband with a net monthly payment of
$1,200.00 to his wife, an Appeal was taken by the Husband for a hearing de novo, which is
scheduled for September 24, 2001, and pursuant to which the instant memorandum is filed.
II. ARGUMENT
It is well settled that under the so-called support guidelines, more particularly
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 1910.16-4, Spousal Support, is an easy
mathematical calculation being 40% ofthe difference, subtracting obligee's monthly net income
from Obligor's monthly net income. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1910.16.5, sets forth
possible deviations from the amount of support. More specifically, that rule states:
191O.l6-5(a) "if the amount of support deviates from the amount of
support determined by the guidelines, the trier of fact shall specifY, in writing, the
guideline amount of support, and the reasons for, and findings of fact justifYing
the amount of the deviation."
Rule 191O.l6-5(b) states in part: "in deciding whether to deviate from the
amount of support determined by the guidelines, the trier of fact shall consider:
(1) unusual needs and unusual fixed obligations; (5) assets of the parties."

;,,~,,~--
~~ -~"~ - ~

'L..'I< 'I
_c,,,,,;,,.:,,' _"'~,
,.
.
This particular support case is most unusual in that the primary marital asset of these
parties, after 44 years of marriage, is the marital home. The parties have owned this home since
1977, and substantially all of marital income and other assets have gone into adding to this home,
by adding floor space to it, fixtures and furnishings. The parties have no other significant assets.
The home consists of approximately 14,000 square feet, has an adjoining outdoor pool and is
located on a little over two acres. It is currently listed for sale with a broker for $1,899,000.00.
Because of the listed price and the fact that there are several rooms in the home that are not yet
completed, it is not likely that a buyer for that amount of money will be found in the immediate
future. Certainly, some reduction in price is contemplated. That reduction in price may come as
a result of the broker's suggestion.
Defendant Husband continues to remain in the home and irrespective of what Wife may
represent, ,she was not forced to remove herself therefrom. Husband relied upon wife's income
as well as other saved assets, which have been dissipated by now, to maintain the home and to
complete other rooms ofthe house. As per exhibits to be introduced at trial, the husband
continues to have certain fixed expenses regarding the home. There are two outstanding
mortgages having about a $150,000.00 balance. Mr. Krafsig is required to pay $2,736.00 per
month on those mortgages. Refinancing those mortgages as continually suggested by Wife's
attorney, is not feasible because of the cost of refinancing and because of Husband's advanced
age. In addition to the mortgage payments, the real estate taxes on the house amount to
approximately $620 per month. The mortgage payments and tax payments alone amount to
$3,356.00 per month. The required payment of the mortgages and taxes do not include other
fixed expenses such as house insurance, utilities and maintenance.
3

'.
- ..'-';'; - "'-~l ' ,.,' ~_,'. ~ j,__
."
An analysis of the parties' joint income and their ability to meet expenses prior to Wife's
voluntary removal Jyom the home, is instructive. Considering Wife's net monthly income at
$1,488.00 and Husband's net monthly income of $4,477.00, that amounted to household income
of$5,965.00 per month. That net joint household income was sufficient to pay the mortgage,
taxes, utilities, and to generally run the household. In addition, there was available in prior years,
at least through the beginning ofthe year 2001, some accumulated savings that the parties drew
uponto meet extra expenses. Those savings have now been dissipated (if necessary at hearing
the source of those savings will be produced). Currently, and in consideration of the existing
support order, Mr. Krafsig has available to him $3,277.00 ($5,965.00 - $$1,488.00 wife's income
-$1,200.00 husband's support obligation). Net income available to Husband, again, is $3,277.00,
which net income to him is less funds than the total cost of the mortgages and real estate tax
payments. IfMr. Krafsig continues to pay the mortgage and real estate taxes, he has no monies
to pay for utilities such as heat, electric, etc., and more importantly has no funds, whatsoever, to
buy himself necessities of life, such as food, medical prescriptions and other medical expenses.
As was stated above, the primary marital asset is the marital home. As a result of this
court's opinion in a companion case, there has already been a deed transfer, whereby the home is
held by both parties as tenants by the entireties. Mr. Krafsig never denied that his wife had a full
marital interest in the real estate.
Introduced as exhibits, will be other fixed expenses of Mr. Krafsig, including
, homeowner's insurance, auto insurance, maintenance costs, including plumbing, lawn care,
refuse cost, etc. By Mr. Krafsig continuing to pay the mortgage and attempting to pay other
costs of maintaining this home, he is indeed preserving the single significant marital asset. Mrs.
Krafsig should help in the preservation of this marital asset and the only way she can help is to
4
-,,,<~"~(111li1
~. .
1,1 ',I
~' I
" , ~
": ,-~ c' '~-~~k.:,~ '
..
.
agree or have the Court order a significant reduction in the amount of alimony pendente lite to be
paid to her.
The home is large enough whereby it may be prudent for Mrs. Krafsig to move back in
and contribute part of her income, as she had done in the past, to the maintenance and
preservation of the marital asset. Mrs. Krafsig was never in any danger from Mr. Krafsig and
according to Mrs. Krafsig, the marriage had eroded many years earlier and apparently they lived
peacefully under the same roof. When the house is sold and the proceeds of that sale equitably
divided, then both parties will be moving from the residence. Mr. Krafsig desperately needs Mrs.
Krafsig's help in continuing to finance, maintain and preserve the house. As Peunsylvania Rules
of Civil Procedure, 1910.16-5 states: unusual needs and unusual fixed obligations may be taken
into consideration, as well as the assets of the parties, when deciding whether or not there should
be a deviation from the support guidelines. It is submitted there should be a substantial deviation
because of the unusual needs and unusual fixed obligations ofMr. Krafsig. The assets of the
parties are primarily this very valuable home and the parties jointly should do whatever they can
to preserve it for distribution of the proceeds of that asset at a later time.
In the event the Court sees fit not to give Mr. Krafsig any relief as requested, Mr. Krafsig
cannot possibly pay the taxes and the mortgages and tend to his personal needs including
purchasing medication for himself, as well as food for his own consumption. The house, if not
sold, through a normal sale, may be lost by mortgage foreclosure or nonpayment of taxes, which,
5

,
of course, may be argued may take a year or two. Nevertheless, Mr. Krafsig must take care of his
personal needs of food and shelter before he makes any additional payments for taxes and
mortgage expense thereafter.

Your Automobile Insurance Policy with Keystone Insurance Company
is coming up for renewal on 06/12/2001. The prices, coverages and
limits are shown on the enclosed Extension Certificate. Please take a
moment to review the amounts listed and to make sure the coverages and
1 imi ts sui t your needs and des ires. The premi urn shown is an annual
premium covering the entire policy year. The billing statement shows
the due date and your payment optlons.
During the past ten years, we have been able to provide the coverages
you desire without the need to increase premiums. We find it necessary
now, however, to take a modest percent increase. The increase will
vary by the coverage you have selected. Rising medical care costs and
auto repair costs continue to push the price we pay for taking care of
you and your car even higher.
We take the trust you have placed in us to take care of your insurance
needs seriously and we will continue to provide quality insurance at
an affordable cost. I wanted to write to let you know that even though
some of the costs we have paid have gone up over 10%, we've worked
hard to keep the increase as small as possible.
If you have any questions please contact your Keystone
Representat i ve whose name and telephone number appear opposi te your
name on the Extension Certificate. Your Keystone Representative would
also like to help you with any other insurance needs you may have.
We at Keystone Insurance Company thank you for your loyalty and
the continued opportunity to serve you. We assure you of our
commitment to provide you with top quallty service.
Sincerely,
~~y~~

THE COURT: Good afternoon.
MR. SHADE: Good afternoon, Your Honor.
MR. BRADERMAN: Good afternoon, Your Honor.
THE COURT: You are seeking an order
5 directing that the property be re-deeded in the name of the
6 parties, is that where we are at?
7 MR. SHADE: As tenants by the entirety, as
S it was before it was somehow otherwise deeded, Your Honor.
9
THE COURT: Okay. I am going to suggest to
10 counsel that that is a very narrow issue, and I know there
11 is a lot of factual disagreement about a whole lot of
12 things that frankly I think are a bit collateral. The
13 issue today is that apparently somehow, and I need to know
14 how, the property went into his name alone.
15 MR. BRADERMAN: That's correct, Your Honor.
16 THE COURT: And remains in his name alone.
17 MR. BRADERMAN: Correct, Your Honor.
IS THE COURT: And provided that's all agreed
19 to, I think I probably understand your arguments with
20 regard to your feeling that it doesn't put her at a
21 disadvantage in this litigation, her contention that it
22 very much does in the event something were to happen to
23 him. Then I need to know where I can go legally. That's
24 also going to be a consideration, whether I have the power
25 to grant the relief requested. I know we have broad
3
c
~
1 equitable powers in the context of divorce cases. So I
2 don't know whether you intend to call her or whether you
3 intend to proceed with him on cross as to how this property
4 got deeded to him.
5 MR. SHADE: My intention was to call him as
6 on cross, Your Honor. And permit me to say briefly in
7 response to your suggestion, that many of our allegations
8 are collateral here. I would --
9 THE COURT: Only to this issue. I didn't
10 suggest that they were irrelevant or whatever
11 MR. SHADE: I understand that, yes, Your
12 Honor. And I agree that they are collateral, but it is our
13 position that they -- to the extent that Your Honor is
14 interested to know it, it illustrates two things. How
15 incredibly naive this wife is in this case to have this
16 happen, and how this happened in 1977. It is relevant to
17 that we would suggest. And it is also relevant to general
18 issues of credibility, where certain fundamental serious
19 allegations are denied in the answer. And we have
20 documentary evidence to show that those denials are false.
21 THE COURT: But let's cross those bridges
22 when we come to them. In the meantime we want to find out
23 how, as I say, how it was the house got transferred.
24
25
MR. SHADE: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: What he claims she knows and

''-'' ,-~"

;.;,.t!i"fu~ '
o
o
1 what she tells me she didn't know.
2 MR. SHADE: Right.
3 MR. BRADERMAN: Your Honor, if I may
4 respond.
5 THE COURT: Certainly.
6 MR. BRADERMAN: First of all, if there are
7 any witnesses, I would request that they be sequestered.
8
THE COURT:
I doubt we have any witnesses in
9 the courtroom or witnesses to the same events, do we?
10
MR. SHADE: The only witnesses I intend to
11 call are the husband as on cross-examination and the wife,
12 Your Honor.
13
THE COURT: Well, we certainly won't
14 sequester one from the other.
15
MR. BRADERMAN: I meant other than the
16 parties, Your Honor. I see a lady sitting in the back of
17 the courtroom, that's why I requested it.
18 Secondly, Your Honor, earlier in the week I
19 advised Mr. Shade that I was prepared to give him a deed or
20 record a deed from Mr. Krafsig to Mr. and Mrs. Krafsig as
21 tenants in common. Because of the estrangement, I think it
22 would be inappropriate for one to inherit from the other.
23 We all recognize that this piece of real estate is the
24 primary marital asset.
25
I understand Mr. Shade's argument. And Mr.

c
o
1 Krafsig's reluctance to transfer the deed upon Mr. Shade's
2 say-so was because of the manner of the demand, saying he
3 was going to spread this information over the public record
4 unless he transferred the deed immediately. But I do have
5 a deed with me, Your Honor, a check to record it. And I

You have in front of you a document marked

11 agree that that is an accurate copy of a deed transferring

A
Q
That wasn't my purpose at all.
I am asking you what your purpose was, sir?
A What had happened here is that I had worked
with a lady by the name of Gertrude Herr at the Liquor
Control Board for many years. And we became friends, and,
Your Honor, I have to refer to some of this stuff so you
9 know where I am coming from. But I am a very handy person.
10 And I did a lot of things at her home for her and things
11 like that. And our friendship grew from this.
12 And she developed cataracts in both her
13 eyes. And she was seventy-five years old. And she didn't
14 have anyone. So when I took her to the doctor's and they
15 said that she would have to be with somebody, she asked me
16 if she could stay with us. And, you know, I talked to
17 Polly about it. And we decided we would take her in.
18 So in those days when you had these
19 operations you had to go in the hospital for at least two
20 days. And, of course, you couldn't bend, and you had to
21 bathe the eyes three times a day. So, anyhow, we brought
22 her to the house, and I took care of her.
23 In the morning I would get up, Mrs. Krafsig
24 wasn't one who liked to get up early, and so I got up
25 early, and I would bathe her eyes before I went to work. I
10
.. .~ ~.-,
,~ '
~~ I'
~'~'"\~ "'L "-,, ~
,~- ,j..
01
o
1 came home at lunchtime to bathe it, and when I come home
2 from work at night. Now, she had one operation in
3 November, and the following in March, so that, you know,
4 until she was really on her feet was long about the end of
5 April, early May. And she asked my wife and I if she could
6 stay with us permanently. And, you know, what were you
7 going to say, but, you know, certainly, we kept her.
8 As it turned out, I kept her for almost
9 eighteen years until she died. And when I decided to build
10 this new house, now she was with us at our previous home.
11 And inflation and everything was occurring. And I had
12 these plans that I had drew to build this home. And I
13 figured that, you know, if I didn't start it then with the
14 interest rate going up I wouldn't be able to do it. So I
15 ventured into this.
16 And what I did I had four homes before this.
17 And with the money that I got from those homes, I
18 accumulated about $40,000.00. I got a construction
19 mortgage for $114,000.00 for this present home. And when I
20 started to build it, everything went wrong. I had only
21 allotted $3,500.00 for my well. My well cost me $7,000.00.
22 I didn't have the money. It was like 35,000 for me. And I
23 had nowhere to go. So I asked my mother if she would help
24 me if she could. She borrowed the money. And she gave it
25 to me. And I paid her back, like $135.00 a month, until I
11
, I
, , "< ,,~ ' :0 '
"j'I~;:
e
o
1 paid back that $3,500.00.
2 When I got into building the place and
3 things were costly like that, I got in a little deeper than
4 I should have. And so I asked her if there is anyway if
5 she could help me, and she said that she would. And that
6 she had a home up on Boas Street. And we kept the home,
7 because I wanted to be sure if she lived with us that she
8 would be happy, that at least she would have a place to go
9 back to. And so we held onto the home. It was good we
10 did, because I sold our former home. And we had to go into
11 her home and live until our house was close to completion,
12 but it was far from that. And it still is I might add.
13 But we -- I mean, things were rough.
14 My heating system wasn't hooked up
15 completely. And I had to use my fireplaces. We didn't
16 even have a kitchen sink. We washed dishes back in the
17 bathroom. And it was very rough for me through that whole
18 situation. So anyhow, Gertrude decided to sell her home.
19 And she got between six to 8,000. I can't tell you exactly
20 how much it was. And she had about $10,000.00 in savings
21 bonds, which she cashed in, and she gave me this -- she
22 wanted to give the money to me, and I wouldn't do that. I
23 told her the only way I would accept it if I could pay her
24 back. It took me six years to pay her back. She lived at
25 my home. I never charged her any board or anything.

o
1 And I want to add, if I may, that I also
2 took care of Polly's mother for nine years and paid off her
3 debts. I took care of her sister. When her sister left
4 home, I took care of her and never charged her a cent. I
5 am presently taking care of my ninety-two year old mother,
6 who will be ninety-two in November. And I have never
7 charged her rent.
8
Now, when Gertrude offered this money to us,
9 I talked with Polly, and we had decided that the rightful
10 thing to do would be to put her on the deed. Maybe she
11 forgets all of this. And we elected to do that, but
12 Gertrude didn't want that to happen, because she said that
13 whatever she had she was going to leave to us anyhow. So
14 at that time, and it so happened that Gertrude's attorney
15 was John Krafsig, Jr. And so the deed was prepared, Polly
16 knew about it. She signed it. And that's how it
17 transpired.
18
Now, that didn't affect me at all. And it
19 certainly didn't affect Mrs. Krafsig at the time, because
20 we had four prior homes. Like I said, the first home, you
21 know, was in my name. And I never done her out. And I
22 don't intend to do her out even today. And I -- I
23 couldn't -- I am sorry, I lost my train of thought. When I
24 said about Gertrude with the home, so anyhow, when the deed
25 was, you know, like I said, when that was changed -- oh, I
13
__.c. ,,''-,'',' -'j, .~." ~ ''''" c_', I "',("
o
.
1 really didn't even remember that the deed was changed until
2 we got your letter. And my attorney, Mr. Braderman, said
3 to me, you know, about this. And, of course, then we got
4 the deed to see what it was. I mean, you know, it really
5 didn't even matter. And, you know, we talked about what
6 you had asked about putting her name on.
7 And I would have really had no objections to
8 that if you hadn't threatened me like you did. And I take
9 that very seriously what you did. And hopefully I am going
10 to pursue that through -- for disbarment. Because, you
11 know, not only did you threaten me, but that was a form of
12 extortion. And, otherwise, we did, we discussed this and
13 elected to put her name on at this point. And now you are
14 fighting this. But that's how it came about.
15
Q
Well, now, you have just explained how it
16 came about, Mr. Krafsig, but you haven't answered my
17 question. My question is what was your purpose in having
18 the property transferred into your name alone?
19 A There was no purpose. That was done
20 mutually by Polly and Gertrude. And, you know, I was an
21 innocent party if you want to know the truth. I had no
22 reason. I never denied her anything or never gave her her
23
share.
I mean, after four homes, you know, sir, I resent
24 you even saying something like that to me.
25 Q How do you spell Gertrude's last name?

I don't like you, you
6 know, trying to accuse me of something that I am perfectly

8 your situation, and you are not cooperating.

Q
Well, what did you say to your wife when you
10 asked her to sign this document, Plaintiff's Exhibit 2?
11
A
She just signed it.
I didn't say anything
12 to her. She knew what it was about. We had discussed it,

22 names of yourself and your wife?

A Yeah. She left on the 7th.
Q Isn't it true that we said in our letter to
you that if you were unwilling to transfer the marital
8 dwelling into joint names, that we had some information
9 involving serious marital misconduct on your part, which we
10 would need to include in our complaint in divorce? Isn't

20 of that letter, please?
21 A We would hope to be able to resolve all of
22 the issues quietly and amicably within the context of a
23 mutual consent no-fault divorce. However, it appears that
24 you took steps in 1977 to have the deed to the marital

MR. BRADERMAN:
THE WITNESS:
Keep on reading.
Pauline has no recollection of
5 this transaction, and we must insist that the deed to the
6 marital dwelling be transferred into the joint names of
7 yourself and your wife as tenants by the entirety and
8 recorded within ten days of date of this letter.
9 If we have not received written confirmation
10 that that has been achieved within that time frame, we will
11 have no reasonable alternative but to spread the details of
12 your marital misconduct upon the public record through the
13 medium of our complaint in divorce. If you are unwilling
14 to transfer the marital dwelling into joint names, your
15 wife indicates that she has some information that she can
16 convey to us involving serious marital misconduct which
17 will be made a matter of public record by being involved in
18 our complaint in divorce. If you transfer the marital
19 estate in joint names with your wife within the next ten
20 days, it will not be necessary for us to allege the
21 specific marital misconduct.

10 nothing. If you care to discuss this case in a reasonable
11 and non-threatening manner
12 MR. SHADE: Excuse me. Your Honor, this is

14 THE COURT: Well, we are going to hear the

Q
Isn't it true that there are two mortgages

That's correct.

Both of those mortgages are at Waypoint

8 mortgages?

A
Yes.
Q
Is your wife's name on the notes for those
A
I am sure they are.
Q
Isn't it true that the first of the two
11 mortgages is a ten year mortgage?
12
A
Yeah. I think I said ten year, if I
13 remember correctly.
14
Q
Isn't it true that the monthly payment is
15 approximately $1,560.00?

That's approximately. It is within that. I
Q
Isn't it true that there are about four
19 years to pay on that mortgage?
20
21
A
Yeah. I would say that's about correct.
Q
Isn't it true that the approximate balance
22 of that mortgage is only $52,000.00?
23
24
A
Yes. That's correct.
Q
Isn't it true that the second mortgage is
25 also a ten year mortgage?

1 A That's right.
2 Q And isn't it true that the monthly payment
3 on that is approximately $1,175.00?
4 A I think it is a little more. I think it is
5 1,176 or something like that and some odd cents.
6
Q
Isn't it true that the balance on that
7 mortgage is approximately $90,000.00?
8 A Perhaps. I haven't gotten a statement to
9 know exactly what it is, but I would say it would be in
10 that range.
11
Q
And there are no other liens against the
12 house, are there?
13
14
A
Q
Not that I am aware of.
So can we agree that the total equity in the
15 marital dwelling then, in accordance with your listing
16 price, is approximately $1,750,000.00?
17 A I would say that's correct.
18 Q Has anyone explained to you that if you were
19 to die before a divorce decree were entered in this case,
20 that your wife would be limited to a third of the equity in
21 the house by taking under the Intestate Act or by electing
22 to take against your will if your will did not give the
23 house to her?
24
25
A

No. I am not really fully aware of that.

4
Q
Well, can we agree that if she were
5 restricted to a third of the equity, that that would be
6 approximately $600,000.00, less than $600,000.00?
7 A I guess we can assume that. But that
8 wouldn't be, you know. . .
9 Q Has anyone explained to you that if the
10 marital dwelling had not been transferred in your name
11 alone in 1977, that in the event of your death prior to the
12 entry of a decree in divorce, your wife would become the
13 owner of the entire $1,750,000.00 in equity in the house?
14
A
Well, I don't think that would have had
15 happened, because, I mean, if my will would have had
16 anything to do with that, because we had no children. And
17 I had never, and Mrs. Krafsig knows this, fully intended to
18 let everything to her. She is aware of that. I told her
19 that many times. Because we had no children and I didn't
20 feel it was fair that she could split her half with her
21 family. And I wanted my half split with my family and
22 whatever.
23 Q I am not sure I understood what you just
24 said about your will, sir. Are you saying that you have a
25 will in effect right now that gives everything to your

your wife to have to bear the risk of losing more than

Q Do you think that it would be fair for your
wife to have to bear the risk of losing more than
$1,150,000.00 of the value of the major marital asset in
the event of your death prior to the entry of a decree in
divorce?
A Prior to the entry of the decree in divorce
you are saying?
Q Yes.
A I would say no under those circumstances.
Q Isn't it true that prior to her retirement
your wife always turned over her paychecks to you?
A She elected to do that. I never asked her
14 for a check. I want that understood. Never once did I
15 ever ask her for a check. She thought I was the better
16 manager. And she wanted it this way. She wouldn't even
17 participate. She wouldn't even write the checks. She
18 never even would sit down with me to fill out the income
19 tax each year. She left that up to me, because she thought
20 I was the better manager.
21 Q Isn't it true that until the separation your
22 wife turned over her pension check to you every month after
23 her retirement?
24
A
Sometimes. Not all the time. She kept it a
25 few times, you know.

MR. BRADERMAN: Objection, Your Honor. Can
I have an offer of proof? I don't know where we are going
on this.
MR. SHADE: It all relates to what I had
said preliminarily, Your Honor, about the extent to
which -- when the wife comes up and testifies I don't know
anything about this deed. I didn't know I signed the deed.
I don't know anything about this. I am developing --
THE COURT: Yes, that she was out of the
loop in terms of their financial affairs and
MR. SHADE: Exactly. That's it, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Go ahead.
BY MR. SHADE:
Q Can we agree that you managed the family
finances throughout the more than forty years of marital
cohabitation?
A Yes. I handled them because she wanted me
to handle them. I didn't have any other choice. But I
never denied Mrs. Krafsig anything that she ever wanted.
She never left that house that I didn't ask her if she had
enough money or do anything. I ran a very, very fair ship.
There was very little that she was denied.
MR. SHADE: That concludes my questioning as
on cross-examination of the defendant, Your Honor.

DIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. BRADERMAN:
Q Mr. Krafsig, the home was recently listed by
you for that amount of money, is that correct?
A That's correct, sir.
Q And was that listed for that amount of money
upon your consultation with a real estate broker?
A
Q
A
Q
Yes, it was, sir.
Do you want to sell the house?
Most definitely.
And why do you want to sell the house, Mr.
A
Q
A
Q
A
Because I can't afford to keep it, sir.
Referring to Plaintiff's Exhibit --
May I add to that?
Sure.
I want His Honor to know that that has been
23 my life's dream. Your Honor, I worked forty-eight and a
24 half years actually total service with the State. And
25 twenty-five and a half years of that forty-eight I worked a

1 second job. I drew these plans for this home. Everything
2 that I have, Your Honor, went into this home. And I am
3 going to lose it, because I can only maintain what I am
4 presently doing. And now that she is filing for support, I
5 just don't have it to do that.
6 And I understand the home is on the Internet
7 now that you might want to take a look at it and see what I
8 am going to lose under these circumstances. And I have cut
9 back on everything I could cut back on. I cut my own grass
10 now, and I was paying $100.00 a week to get that done. I
11 shouldn't even be doing that, because I got skin cancer.
12 And I shouldn't be out there, but I don't have any choice.
13 I didn't open the swimming pool because it cost $1,000.00.
14 You know, I had the water treated yet to protect that
15 underneath there. And all of these things, it would be
16 nice if I could have had it open for the sale of the
17 property.
18 And I cut back on the telephone service
19 because I just can't afford to do all of this and maintain
20 what I have. And now that the taxes have been raised,
21 there is no way I am going to be able to pay that $5,500.00
22 new tax. I just finished paying the $1,900,00 on the first
23 tax. And, you know, with no help, not so ever, you have to
24 understand something, when Mrs. Krafsig abandoned me she
25 has not to this moment done one blessed thing to help me in

MR. SHADE: Your Honor, I must object
7 to -- I mean, there are a lot of other questions I would
8 like to ask this man that reflects on credibility and so

11 questioning, Mr. Braderman.

Q Did you explain to her at that time, in
1977, why you were transferring the property?
A Well, it was just an open discussion with
the three of us --
Q Who is the third person?

Q
You have answered the question. From 1977
8 until the present listing of the house, did you ever list
9 the house?
10

A
No, sir.
Q
Have you ever done anything to limit what
12 you thought her share would be in that real estate?

A
I would never do that, sir.
Q
Mr. Krafsig, there was a support conference
15 in Cumberland County within the past two weeks, is that
16 correct?

18
A
That's correct, sir.
Q
And as a result of that support conference,
19 you were ordered to pay alimony pendente lite or spousal
20 support?

A
That's correct, sir.
Q
And at the time of that hearing the numbers

Krafsig, do you recall what our argument was to the support
officer as to why you couldn't afford to pay that?
MR. SHADE: Your Honor, once again --
THE COURT: I am assuming it has something
to do with the expense of caring for the house?
MR. BRADERMAN: That's correct.
THE COURT: All right.

Would you repeat that again? I am sorry.
At the time of the support hearing do you
20 recall our argument with the support conference officer as
21 to what you could or could not afford to pay Mrs. Krafsig?

Yes, sir.
And what was, in summary, what was the

1 alimony at this time, because I can't protect our asset. I
2 will have to lose it. And there will be nothing for either

4
Q
Again, your only income is your retirement
5 and your social security, is that correct?
6
A
That is correct, sir.
7 Q Mr. Shade didn't ask you, but I am going to
8 ask you, in addition to the expenses of the mortgage, what
9 are the real estate taxes on that house?
10
A
They are now up in the 7,000 something.
11 There is a brochure that I have here that has the accurate
12 amount of them, sir.
13 Q Would that be another five or $600.00 a
14 month that it would cost you?
15 A Well, definitely. It is really going up
16 since it is being reassessed. That's correct, sir. And I
17 have to pay that by November 1st --
18 Q Would it be fair to say, Mr. Krafsig, that
19 if you continue to pay both mortgages, the real estate
20 taxes, and pay Mrs. Krafsig $1,200.00 a month, how much
21 money would be available to you for let's say utilities in
22 the home or for food for yourself?
23
A
About $500.00 at the very most. And, I
24 mean, that don't take care of all the other utilities and

5 find out why there is an urgency in listing the home. I

MR. BRADERMAN: Thank you, Your Honor. I
8 will abbreviate it.
9 THE COURT: I would be very surprised if she
10 would oppose the sale of the home. Though what comes of
11 the proceeds is always a squabble in these cases.

14 Q Mr. Krafsig, after receipt of the domestic
15 relations order did you instruct me to take an appeal?

Well, because her half would go to her, and

RECROSS EXAMINATION

Q I understood you to say that you have not
done anything to limit what your wife would receive out of
this house. Was that your testimony?
A Certainly.
Q Have you changed your will since your wife
left?
A
No. I haven't yet. I am in the process,
but I haven't yet.
Q You are in the process of reducing your
wife's inheritance?
A
Well, certainly. Why would I want to do
15 that if she is divorcing me?
16 Q And you would not consider that limiting her
17 interests in the marital real estate?
18 A I said, sir, that I haven't done it as of
19 this moment. It has not been completed.
20 Q Isn't it true that at the hearing in the
21 Domestic Relations Office we asked you if you had
22 considered refinancing these very high equity mortgages, so
23 as to reduce the payments that you have every month?
24 A Yes. You asked me that, but it didn't make
25 much sense to me. When I have a ten year mortgage and a

1 lower interest rate to turn around and take a thirty year
2 mortgage. And I will be 102 years old. You know, and it
3 is even questionable that I could get a mortgage like that.
4
Q
Well, of course, if the house were sold, you
5 wouldn't have a mortgage when you were 102 years old, would
6 you?
7
A
If it is sold, certainly. But you fail to
8 realize there is a lot to be done. You never saw my home,
9 so you don't know what the situation is. I have to have a
10 special buyer that's going to want to buy this place,
11 because there is a lot to complete it. And this could go
12 on for quite awhile.

You have kept on referring, Mr. Krafsig, to

20 program, in other words, you put -- it would appear to me,
21 that you put your joint assets and your income to this home
22 over the years?

Certainly. You know, she shared that with

No, sir.

Whereupon, PAULINE D. KRAFSIG, having
been duly sworn, testified as follows:
DIRECT EXAMINATION
Q
State your name, please?
A
Pauline D. Krafsig.
Q
Did you leave the marital dwelling on May 7,
A
I did.
Q
Does your husband know where you are living
A
No.
Q
Do you need to keep it that way?
A
Yes, I do. For my own protection.
Q
Are you satisfied to have any communication
16 concerning this case addressed to my office?
17
18
A
Yes.
Q
Prior to the marriage were you raised in a
19 strict Roman Catholic home?
20
21.
22 school?
23
24
A
Yes, I was.
Q
Did you attend Roman Catholic boarding
A
Yes, I did.
Q
As a result of your upbringing, would you
25 describe yourself as extremely naive about sexual matters?

Q

How long did you know your husband before
3 the marriage?
4
5
A
Q
Approximately three years.
On your wedding night did your husband tell
6 you anything about his ability to have sexual relations?
7
MR. BRADERMAN: Objection.
8 THE COURT: I really don't want to get into
9 a whole lot of detail on this.
10 MR. BRADERMAN: It is totally irrelevant,
11 Your Honor, to the issue at hand. What their sex was or
12 lack of sex or sexual preferences is not relevant to this
13 hearing.
14 THE COURT: And I am not being a prude about
15 it, Mr. Shade, but it is no more relevant than if he had a
16 girlfriend on the side. I mean, no matter what the reason
17 is that. ..
18
MR. SHADE: Your Honor, I understood Your
19 Honor to indicate at the outset of the hearing that you
20 would consider
21 THE COURT: Well, she can tell me, and if I
22 believe her, she is being credible about it, that she
23 didn't know what was going on in the marriage. I am
24 concerned about her knowledge and understanding of their
25 financial and property matters, not their sex life.

MR. SHADE: Well, now, I am personally

3 has testified under oath and threatened to seek to have me
4 disbarred over matters that --
5
THE COURT: Well, you and he can work that
6 out. I have no power to disbar anybody.
7 MR. SHADE: I understand.
8 THE COURT: And I assure you that won't
9 happen from this bench. Matters that need to be pursued in
10 other tribunals can be pursued in other tribunals. I have
11 my hands full dealing with the issue at hand today. I want
12 to know how she signed a deed and didn't know what she was
13 doing.
14
MR. SHADE: And part of how naive she was
15 has bearing on her credibility.
16
THE COURT: Sure. She went to Roman
17 Catholic school, and they have had no sex life together.
18 Now tell me some other things about her naivety.
19 BY MR. SHADE:
20
Q
Was it going to be a hardship for you to
21 move from the marital dwelling with your limited resources
22 and your limited experience in life?
23
A
Yes. It certainly was.
24
Q
Do you have a driver's license?

Q
A
When did you first get a driver's license?
In November of 1991, the same year that I
retired.
Q That was after you were married for
thirty-three years?
A Yes.
Q Why did you not have a license before that?
A Because we had only one car. And my husband
worked so many jobs, he didn't particularly want me to
10 drive. And he did the driving.

Q How did you go about getting your driver's
license in 1991?
A Before I retired a friend at work was
talking to me, and my husband was having health problems.
And he convinced me that I should get a driver's license.
Q When you say he convinced me, who do you
mean he?
A
Q
A
Q
A
Q
He was a co-worker.
Not your husband?
Not my husband, no.
Go ahead.
A co-worker.
Yes.
24 A And he made it possible for me to go and
25 take my driver's test, to obtain application for a driver's

1 license. And I had a driver's training school come and
2 pick me up on my lunch hours and took driver's training
3 until I passed my test.
4
Q
At that time did you live out in the
5 country?
6
A
Yes. At the same residence where I am -- or
7 where I was.
8
Q
Were you concerned that if your husband got
9 too ill to drive that you needed to be able to drive him?
10
A
Absolutely.
11
Q
And yourself?
12
A
Yes.
13
Q
After you got your license in 1991, would
14 your husband let you drive the car?
15
A
Again, the car was the only car. I really
16 didn't have opportunities to drive it.
17
Q
Have you driven a car since you retired in
18 1991?
19
A No. I have not.
Q Do you have an automobile now?
A No.
Q Do you want to be able to get an automobile?
A Yes, I do.
Q After you retired, did you retain any of
20

Until you engaged counsel in this case, were
you aware that the marital dwelling had been transferred
into the name of your husband alone?
A No. I was not.
Q Would your husband ask you to sign things
throughout the marriage?
A Yes. But I trusted him.
Q When he would ask you to sign things, would
you just sign them?
A Because I had no reason to doubt him.
Q Do you ever recall your husband explaining
to you the document he was asking you to sign was
transferring to him all of your interests in the marital

7
8
A
Yes.
MR. SHADE: Cross-examine.
9 THE COURT: Before you do that, because you
10 may want to follow-up on this, Mr. Braderman.
11 MR. BRADERMAN: Yes, Your Honor.
12 THE COURT: I know I said we weren't going
13 to get into this, but in deference to Mr. Shade's professed
14 predicament with regard to having been accused of making
15 false application. Let me just ask you a couple of
16 questions so we don't go into this in perhaps unnecessary
17 detail .
18 Is it your testimony today that you have
19 never had sexual relations with your husband?
20
21
22 now is this?
23

25
THE WITNESS: Yes.
THE COURT: And how many years of marriage

1 THE WITNESS: It was forty-four years.
2 THE COURT: And your petition says you have
3 never seen this man totally in the nude. Is that also
4 true?
5
6
7
THE WITNESS: That's correct.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. SHADE: Excuse me, Your Honor, in light
8 of the questions that you just asked --
9 THE COURT: Well, that was my point in
10 asking them. I was trying to tailor it to find out what I
11 felt I needed without -- but if you feel there is something
12 absolutely essential that must be pursued in light of
13
14
that, fine.
MR. SHADE: I just want to say for the
15 record, Your Honor, that this man in his answer has denied
16 all of that. And I want the record to show that I have
17 documentary evidence in his own --
18
19
MR. BRADERMAN: Objection.
THE COURT: Well, if he tries to have you
20 disbarred, then you will defend on that basis. I repeat
21 again, that question is not before me.
22
MR. SHADE: I understand, Your Honor. But I
23 just want to say for the record that I have documentary
24 evidence in his own hand
25

MR. SHADE: That would show his

4
MR. BRADERMAN: I object to that argument,
5 Your Honor, about documentary evidence.
6
THE COURT: Mr. Braderman, this is pushing,
7 you know, a little bit. It was your client who sat there
8 and threatened to disbar this man. You are putting me in a
9 tough position.
10 MR. BRADERMAN: That did not come from me,
11 Your Honor.
12
THE COURT: Well, sit down. We are going to
13 stop the whole thing right there. Go ahead.
14 Cross-examine. And I appreciate that, Mr. Braderman. It
15 did not come from you. And that was an appropriate
16 observation on your part. Go ahead.

1 Q Do you recall signing this before a notary?
2 Your name is listed, Donald C. Krafsig and Pauline Krafsig,
3 his wife?
4 A Yes, I did.
5 Q Would you go to the page before that? Is
6 that your signature?
A
Yes, it is. But I was not aware of the full
context of what I was signing.
Q That's your recollection of what happened in
19777
A
Q
That's correct.
Do you recall where the deed was signed?
Was it signed in an office, at your home, in front of a
notary? Do you recall where you signed it?
A I believe it was -- I believe it was
in -- it was witnessed by the notary, but I believe it was
in his brother's office.
Q That would be John Krafsig's office?
A That's correct.
Q And do you recall how you got to the office?
A Well, the only way I had of getting anywhere
was my husband.
Q And you went with your husband?

I am sorry. I can't say that I can say that
there were others, because I don't remember.

to signing this?

No. Because I figured I wouldn't be asked
15 to sign something if it was going to be detrimental to
16 myself.

A
Because of academic achievement?
Yes.
Go ahead. I am sorry.
Then I went into the Bureau of Statistics,
12 the Liquor Control Board. From there I went to the Bureau
13 of Licensing. I was a keypunch operator there. I went
14 from the Bureau of Licensing into the Bureau of Liquor
15 Enforcement, where I was what they called -- well, first I
16 was a report examiner. Then I was a legal assistant. And
17 the Bureau of Enforcement was taken over in the '70's, the
18 1970's, by the State Police. And I retired from that
19 Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, in the Bureau of the
20 State Police.
21 Q You said you were a legal assistant. How
22 long were you a legal assistant, approximately? You don't
23 have to be exact.
24 A Well, I know I was with the State Police for
25 three or four years. And prior to that I would say about

2
Q
Would it be fair to say that you would
3 recognize a legal document, such as a deed, if you saw it?
4 A Yes.
5 Q You mentioned your husband didn't want you
6 to drive. Was that for safety purposes, or he just didn't
7 want you to drive?
8
A
I don't know whether
I don't know what it
9 was just exactly. But he preferred to do the driving. He
10 was a good driver, so I...
11
Q
Did you drive together to work in the
12 morning?
13
A
Yes.
14
Q
And did you drive home from work together?
15
A
Not always, no. His father took me home
16 many times earlier in our marriage. And also a man who
17 worked for us took me home.
18
Q
At times?
19
A
Different times. When Don was not able to
20 do it.
24
Q You heard your husband testify about working
more than one job. Did he sometimes have two jobs during
the marriage?
A Yes, he did.
Q What else did Mr. Krafsig do other than

And Mr. Krafsig was paid for that work?
Yes.
And to your knowledge did the proceeds of
7 that work go into the family accounts?
8 A As far as I knew.
9
Q
Prior to filing for divorce in May of this
10 year, did you ever file for divorce against your husband
11 prior to May of this year?
12 A No.

Q
Do you think it is a good idea that the
14 house be sold, Mrs. Krafsig?
15
16
A
Q
I do, yes.
will you agree that that is the primary
17 marital asset or the only marital asset of substance?
18 MR. SHADE: Objection, Your Honor. We have
19 outstanding discovery on that issue. We would have no way
20 of knowing one way or the other.
21 THE COURT: Well, if she doesn't know, she
22 will tell us. Go ahead.

Q
For example? Tell us what you think there
5 is that might be a marital asset that you don't know about
6 or that we don't know about, if you know?
7

I don't know, so I can't really answer that
8 question truthfully.
9
Q
Would it be fair to say to your knowledge,
10 Mrs. Krafsig, that over the past twenty-five years at
11 least, since you have owned the present home, that
12 primarily all your savings and income went into improving
13 that house?
14
15
A
Yes.

After you moved out, Mrs. Krafsig, out of
16 the home in May, through your counsel, were certain
17 personal items asked for?

And were they made available to you?

Q
Were those things made available to you?
They were.
And you have gotten those items?
Yes.
And you have had no trouble having access to
the house for you and relatives to pick those items up?
A The way it has been working, there is an
answering service I am told now, that when my
brother-in-law calls, the answering service is apparently,
the voice on that, is that of another person other than
Don. And he seems to be controlling when someone can or
can't come in and get anything.
Q Is there anything in that home, other than
furniture, is there anything in that home that you want
that you have been unable to obtain?

There have been several things, yes.
Would you tell us what they are?

6 MR. BRADERMAN: I didn't understand.

13 until I got them on sales before I bought them. So I was
14 not extravagant.
15
Q
I didn't say you were. Were your purchases
16 of clothing or jewelry, were they ever limited by Mr.
17 Krafsig?
18
A
No. But then I tried to do my best to keep
19 them within reason.
20
Q
So he never told you how much you could or
21 could not spend on yourself?
22
A
I had no money myself. So consequently when
23 I wanted something I would ask him.
24
25
Q
If you could get it?
A
If I could, but it didn't always work out

A
Yes.
5 Q How did you get the money then to go to a
6 department store to buy clothing, or did you charge it or
7 write a check?
A
Q
A
It was through a charge.
And you had the charge cards?
I had one.
Q And what charge card was that?
A That was Pomeroy's, which is now Bon-Ton.
Don had one for Boscovs and one for Sears in his name.
Q Were you allowed to use those also?
A If the need be, but I didn't.
Q I don't want to dwell on this, Mrs. Krafsig.
I just want to get a picture. So you had freedom basically
to go out and buy the clothing that you needed or
accessories that you needed? You didn't have to ask Don's
permission, did you?
A
I had to have some way of getting there.
22 Q Okay. But you didn't have to ask his
23 permission to go to the Bon-Ton, did you? You would ask
24 him to take you to the Bon-Ton?
25 A Yes. Because I had no other way of getting

2
Q
And then when the bills came in on the
3 charges, Mr. Krafsig would pay those presumably, because he
4 took care of the finances in the home?
5
A
Yes. But I took care of -- I mean, it was
6 not -- they weren't purchases made only for myself.
7
Q
I understand that. And you were satisfied
8 with that arrangement?

A
I trusted him completely.

Okay.

MR. BRADERMAN: I have no further questions.
12
THE COURT: Anything else, Mr. Shade?
13
MR. SHADE: Nothing further, Your Honor.
14
THE COURT: Ms. Krafsig, you do seem to have
15 some recollection then of going to John Krafsig's office
16 and signing the deed in front of a notary. Do you recall,
17 and search your memory as best you can, do you recall
18 whether you were told anything about why you were being
19 asked to sign the paper?
20
THE WITNESS: No. It was something I felt
21 that if Don felt that it was something that needed to be
22 done I went along with it, because he managed the finances.
23 And I thought it had to be valid or he wouldn't have, you
24 know, thought we should have done it.

11 whether it is necessary to recall Mr. Krafsig other than to

13 transferring the property. I would just call Mr. Krafsig

MR. SHADE: Nothing, Your Honor.

MR. SHADE: That is all the evidence we
have, Your Honor.

MR. RUNDLE: The next case is No. 11,

3 MR. BRADERMAN: Good afternoon, Your Honor.
4 THE COURT: Good afternoon.
5
MR. RUNDLE: This is an APL case, Your
6 Honor. Mrs. Krafsig filed for APL on May the 21st of 2001.
7 Following a conference at the Domestic Relations Office a
8 recommended order in the amount of $1,100.00 per month,
9 effective May 21, was entered. The defendant has requested
10 the hearing de novo.
11
MR. BRADERMAN: Your Honor, may Mr. Krafsig
12 take the stand?
13 THE COURT: Sure.
14 MR. SHADE: I am a little confused about the
15 order here.

MR. BRADERMAN: It is our appeal.

19 doesn't matter. I don't care. Go ahead.
20 Whereupon, DONALD C. KRAFSIG, having been
21 duly sworn, testified as follows:

4 DIRECT EXAMINATION
5 BY MR. BRADERMAN:
6
Q
Mr. Krafsig, I show you an exhibit, which
7 has not been marked, but I guess we can say Mr. Krafsig's
8 exhibit or Defendant's Exhibit No.1, which is an income
9 and expense statement. Do you have that before you?
10 A Yes, sir.
11 Q And I am not going to go through every entry
12 obviously. Does that accurately reflect your monthly
13 income on page one, being pension income of $3,452.00 a
14 month, plus social security income -- social security
15 retirement income of $1,225.00 a month? Is that an
16 accurate reflection of your monthly income presently?
17
A
Is this the correct one?

Q

Oh, I am sorry.

your present monthly income, consisting of pension income
of $3,452.00, plus social security retirement benefits of
$1,125.00?
A Yes, sir.
Q Also on that page, being page one, there is
a listing of a checking account and a savings account as
being property owned. Do you see that?
A
Q
Yes, sir.
Are they the present balances in those
10 accounts?
11 A Yes, sir. There is a $25.00 deduction on
12 the credit union for information I just obtained that will
13 be deducted from that, but it is right otherwise.

Those two accounts are in your name,

names. Do you see that also -- Mr. Krafsig, refer to the
first page. And where it says property owned, it says real
estate jointly held, at the bottom right-hand side of the
page, real estate and there is an X.
A Okay. I am sorry.
Q Is that the marital home?

Yes, sir.

Q
Well, we started on June the 5th I believe.
Have you had any offers?
No offers as yet.
Are you willing to reduce the price of the
21 home?
22 A It can be negotiable, of course.
23 Q Would you please refer to page three of the

2 Q And you will see on the left-hand side there
3 is a list of expenses, do you see that?
A
Yes, sir.
Q And there is a mortgage under home, which is
mortgage, of $2,736.00 a month. Is that the correct
mortgage payment you are making?
A Yes, sir.
Q And do I understand correctly that consists
of two separate mortgages?
A That's right, sir.
Q And could you tell the Court approximately
how much you pay monthly on each mortgage?
A The first mortgage is like $1,560.00, less a
few cents, and the second mortgage is I think $1,126.00
and some odd cents too.
Q So the combined payment is $2,736.00 a
month?
A
Q
That's right, sir.
Could you advise us as to the approximate
21 balance on each of those mortgages?
22 A Well, the first mortgage I understand is
23 approximately about $50,000.00. And the second mortgage I
24 think is between eighty and ninety I would say.

A
Approximately four years.
2 Q And how many years of payment remain on the
3 second mortgage?
4 A I think about eight.
5 Q Mr. Krafsig, at prior proceedings you have
6 heard inquiries about refinancing mortgages?
7
A
That's correct, sir.
8 Q Why haven't you attempted to refinance those
9 two mortgages?
A Well, first of all, because of my age.
Q What is your age, Mr. Krafsig?
A I am seventy-one. And, secondly, because I
really don't have the money to pursue something like that.
And, thirdly, I don't think it would really be to my
advantage, because there is more going against the
principal than paying the interest. And I just don't feel
that I could afford to do it in any event.
Q So refinancing wouldn't necessarily be to
obtain more money, it would be to extend your payments and
lower them presumably?
A
That's correct. But to get a thirty year
22 mortgage, I would be a hundred and one years old, and I
23 don't know if they would even give me one.
24
Q
Mr. Krafsig, I note that there is a listing

for heat?
A Yes. But that's incorrect. Last season I
was paying 321, but now they have increased it to 503.
Q
Is that for eleven months or twelve months?
A I would say for twelve months.
Q And, again, I told you I was not going to go
through every entry, which I am not. I would ask you to
look at real estate taxes, listed at $620.00 a month. Is
that a fair figure?
A That's correct, sir.
Q And real estate taxes are not included in
your mortgage payment. They are not escrowed, is that
correct?
A No, sir.
Q Are your real estate taxes current?
A The first tax is. I paid the $1,920.00 and
something I paid -- I think it was in June. But I have the
big taxes pending. That's like
Q Well, I will get into that later.
A Okay. I think it was 5,500 and something.
Q
To summarize, Mr. Krafsig, on page one your
22 net taxable income annually is $53,724.00, is that correct?
23
24
A
Q
That's correct, sir.
And your monthly net income would be

And looking at page --
That includes the social security.
Yes, it does.
Yes, sir.
6 Q Looking at page three, with our itemization
7 of all your expenses, is it a fair statement to say that
8 your monthly expenses far exceed your income?
A
Q
Without question.
And to be fair, Mr. Krafsig, one of the
expenses you have listed is APL at $1,200.00 a month.
That's included in your monthly expenses, is that correct?
A That's correct, sir.
Q And that is on the bottom right-hand side of
page three?
A They garnished my retirement for that.
Q Mr. Krafsig, I am going to ask you to pick
up the other group of documents, the top page being the
2000 tax return?
A This is 1999. This isn't the 2000.
Q Then I gave you the wrong one.

benefits listed under line 20A and 20B, is that correct?

3 Q Do I assume correctly that during the year
4 2000 that you had a substantial amount of money in that
5 account?
A
I can't tell you exactly how much, but, I
mean, it was more than I have now, that's for sure.
Q If I told you, Mr. Krafsig, from the review
of your records that at the end of December of 2000 you had
approximately $18,000.00 in that account, would that be a
correct statement?
A
Yes, sir.
13 Q And what has happened with that $18,000.00?
14 A Well, I have a lot of people who work for me
15 to complete the home, and it takes quite a bit. When you
16 have a plumbe~, for example, it is like $40.00 an hour.
17 And I have been, you know, trying to get the house
18 completed, so, you know, that we could sell it one day, but
19 that's where the money went. In fact, I had to cut back in
20 April--

A No. It is $308.00.
Q Next document, Mr. Krafsig. You had
mentioned that your budget amount for oil is 503 a month?

2 A No, I haven't, sir. In fact, this gentleman
3 called me on Friday wanting to know when I was going to pay
4 this, because the service was began in the beginning of
5 May. And I told him that, you know, I was coming before
6 the court today, and I would get back to him.
Q
I just gave that as an example of an invoice
you c3n't pay, Mr. Krafsig. Do you have other items of
maintenance or ongoing expenses, such as the sewer, rental,
and that type of thing?
A Oh, definitely. With the well, you know, my
well is very deep. And I have that expense as well as my
water softener plus, you know, lawn maintenance, which I
can't afford to do now. I had to discontinue that.
Q Who mows the grass?
A Well, myself and some of my friends have
been helping me, because I have the house up for sale and I
have to keep it looking at least decently.
Q
Next item
20 A May I add something? That I really
21 shouldn't be doing that because I have been battling skin
22 cancer for years. And I also, about three years ago,
23 developed a nerve disorder in my feet. And I am having
24 difficulty, great difficulty now, because of the pain and
25 everything. So I really shouldn't be doing this, but I

Q On the home?

Q And what's the annual premium?

on installment payments.
Q What kind of vehicle do you drive, Mr.
Krafsig?
A It is a 1985 Buick Regal. I have 106,000
miles on it.
Q Recently, Mr. Krafsig, I had sent you a copy
of a letter from Mr. Shade, your wife's attorney, and also
enclosing an invoice. I think Mr. Shade will be talking
about it later, an invoice or an estimate for crowns and a

1 bridge for your wife for $2,880.00. And that was an
2 estimate only, correct?
3
A
I understand it to be that way, sir.
4
Q
Can you afford to contribute or pay any of
5 that?
6
A
I don't have any money to pay anything with.
7 I am barely, barely making it. And I am not going to be
8 able to make it, you know, if it goes on beyond another
9 month.
10
Q
You are under oath, Mr. Krafsig. Other than
11 the moneys listed in your income and expense statement, do
12 you have any other moneys?
13
A
I have reported everything I have here. I
14 have nothing but what you see there.
15
Q
Very briefly. Certainly on your limited
16 income and your wife's limited income, especially since
17 retirement, you have been able to make substantial
18 improvements to the home, whereby you have hopefully a home
19 worth over a million dollars, is that correct?
20
A
Yes, sir.
21
Q
And other than your salaries and
22 retirements, is it not true that over the years that there
23 have been other sources of income? You have received lump
24 sum amounts?
25
A
Oh, yes, from...

Q
Okay. And those sources are no longer
2 available, are they?
3

A
No, sir.
Q
For example, Mr. Krafsig, in 1988 did you
5 receive $88,000.00?
6
7
8
A
Yes, sir.
Q
And why did you receive $88,000.00?
A
That was a settlement on a suit that I had
9 with the workmen's compo
10
11
12
Q
That was a worker's compensation payoff?
A
That's correct, sir.
Q
When you retired in 1991 did you withdraw
13 any lump sum amounts from your retirement account?
14
15
16
17

19
20 she not?

24
A
Yes, sir, I did.
Q
And how much did you withdraw?
A
Well, I withdrew
Q
Approximately?
A
Approximately, over 60,000.
Q
And your wife retired at the same time, did
A
Yes, sir.
Q
And she withdrew from her retirement how

Q Does $38,000.00 sound about right?
A That sounds correct, yes.
Q And at the time you retired, after you had
so many years in, did the Commonwealth also pay you for
your vacation -- unused vacation and sick leave?
that?
A Yes, they did, sir.
Q And how much did you receive on that?
A I got over $22,000.00.
Q
And did your wife receive any money for
A Yes, she did.
Q But we don't know how much?
A I don't recall how much, but it might have
been anywhere between eight to 12,000. I am just guessing
though.
Q And at one time, subsequent to your
retirement, you did refinance on the mortgages or on one
mortgage, and you received some extra money to do
improvements to the home at that time, is that correct?
A An additional like 35,100 I believe it was.
Q I haven't added up all these sums. Where
did this money go?
A It went into the home or on --

Q And then you drew from that?
A Or the bank, either one.
Q Did you get interest on those moneys?
A Yes, sir.
Q Mr. Krafsig, what is the state of your
health?
A Well, I am not really that well. I have a
lot of problems with my blood pressure for one thing. But
I have been battling skin cancer. I just recently had
another one I have had a melanoma. And I don't know
what my future lies ahead for me.
Q Do you take any medications?

15 pressure medicines. And I take

that one that's on the market?

1 insurance program?
2
A
Well, we get a $7.00 rebate from the State,
3 but that don't cover, you know, only when they are generics
4 that you get it for seven. You have to pay -- I think
5 Hytrin alone costs me like thirty some dollars for a one
6 month supply.
7
Q
So, Mr. Krafsig, on the income and expense
8 statement, we have estimated your monthly prescription
9 costs at $60.00, is that net cost to you?
10
A
Well, it don't always stay at that.
11 Sometimes it is more, but, you know, that's the amount that
12 it costs me. I have been trying to take it every other day
13 to make it extend a little further. And I shouldn't be
14 doing that, but I am, because I have no other choice.
15
Q
When you go to the doctor, is that paid for
16 by insurance?
17
A
Yes, sir.
18
Q
It is?
19
A
In not all instances. You have that $100.00
20 deductible that you have got to pay. Then you run into
21 some occasions that you have to pay, you know. But that's
22 not excessive.
23
Q
Mr. Krafsig, if you pay the mortgage -- the
24 mortgages, and you pay the taxes on the home on a regular
25 monthly basis, do you have any money left over for food or
24

1 maintenance for yourself?
2
A
You have to be kidding me. No, there is
3 nothing, nothing.
4
Q
When you and Mrs. Krafsig lived together in
5 that home, your combined net income was about $6,000.00 a
6 month, is that correct?
7
8
9
10
A
Yes --
Q
Is that correct?
A
Yes, sir.
Q
And without consideration of those other
11 funds that you deposited in the PSECU account over the
12 years, was $6,000.00 a month enough to take care of all of
13 these expenses?
14
15
A
You said without the others, yes.
Q
And Mrs. Krafsig willingly contributed her
16 retirement income to the family household, did she not?
17
18
A
Yes, she did, sir.
Q
And you deposited your money into the
19 household expenses also?
20
21
A
That's correct.
Q
Do you want to stay in the house, Mr.
22 Krafsig, until it is sold?
23
24
A
Until it is sold.
Q
And why do you want to stay in the house
25 until it is sold?

, ~
~:" ,,' I
'-" '"_0 ;..''''-~' '" ,''-0,' ""'-'~"-'
o
o
1 A Well, to protect the asset. That's all I
2 have. I worked forty-eight and a half years one job and
3 twenty-five and a half years three other jobs. This is my
4 whole life.
5
Q
Now, your mother resides there too, does she
6 not?
7
8
9
A
Q
A
Yes, sir.
How old is your mother?
She will be ninety-two November the 7th.
10 Q And she doesn't contribute, does she, to the
11 household expenses?
12 A Not really. She helps like if she wants
13 something from the store or things that, you know, her
14 personal things, you know, she pays for that. But I don't
15 charge her no board or anything like that.
16 Q And your mother living there is not unusual
17 because Pauline's mother lived there for a period of time
18 also, did she not?
19 A I took care of her mother for nine years and
20 never charged her a nickel. I also took care of her sister
21 when she left home and she had nowhere to go. I also took
22 care of her and never charged her a nickel either.
23 Q So to summarize, Mr. Krafsig, with your
24 obligation to pay Mrs. Krafsig $1,200.00 a month, something
25 has to suffer, is that correct?
26
. ~
" i1~~ ~ _I

4 MR. BRADERMAN: Cross-examine.

Q
Do you agree that your wife, the plaintiff
8 in this case, was born on September 30th, 1934, and
9
10
is
what does that do for us -- sixty-six years of age?
A
Yes. Next week I think is --
11 Q Right. And you have indicated your age is
12 seventy-one. You were born on May 6th, 1930, sir?
13 A That's right, sir.

were married on June 8, 1957?

Q Has this been the only marriage for both of
you?
A Yes, sir.
Q And have you and your wife been married
continuously from June 8th, 1957, to the present time?
A What do you mean by continuous, sir?
Q You have never been divorced or remarried?
A
Q
No.

2 Q Now, you stated here moments ago that this
3 house is your whole life. Isn't it true that in response
4 to your counsel's question in the hearing on special relief
5 in this court on July 27, 2001, that you stated that the
6 marital dwelling was your life's dream?
A
Well, it was a dream. And, also, it became
a reality.
Q And isn't it true that you stated in that
same cross-examination that you thought that it would take
a special buyer in order to enable you to be successful in
selling this property?
A
Yes. I said that, because it will. And it
14 is going to take someone -- and I am going to probably have
15 to be part of it, because there is a lot of work that's
16 undone. I drew the plans and everything. So I know more
17 about it than anyone else.
18 Q Isn't it true that you stated in that same
19 cross-examination that you think that it will take quite
20 awhile to sell the marital dwelling?
21
A
Well, you never know that, sir, you know, it
22 depends. I have had a couple look at it who have the
23 money. And so I don't know whether they will make a
24 decision to take it or not. So you don't know from one day

Q
Isn't it true that that is what you stated
then, sir?
A I stated it because I wasn't involved in it
as much as I am now.
Q Other than these two mortgages that you have
testified to, isn't it true that there are no other liens
against the marital residence?
A
Not that I know of, sir.
Have you made any attempts at all to look
Q
10 into refinancing the marital dwelling?
11 A Not at this point, because I don't feel that
12 it really is to my advantage. Plus, like I said to you
13 previously, I don't have the money to do it.
14
Q
Well, how can you sit there and say that you
15 don't have the money to do it when you haven't even asked
16 anybody how much money it will take?
17 A Because I have been through are-mortgage
18 already, and I have that experience.
19 Q Well, now, you say that you don't think it
20 would be to your advantage to do it, by that isn't it true
21 that you mean that you don't want to get into a situation
22 where you are paying less per month on principal than you
23 are now? That's what you mean when you say that, isn't it?

1 house get paid for and not have to re-mortgage at a higher
2 interest rate and...
3
Q
Well, you have already said that you can't
4 afford to pay the two mortgages that are in existence now,
5 haven't you? Isn't that what you said today?
6
A
I am having a difficult time I said. You
7 hear that I did pay it for October.
8
Q
Well, since you haven't checked with anybody
9 about refinancing this house
10
A
I said not as yet.
11
Q
Isn't it true that nobody has obviously told
12 you that you could not refinance it because of your age,
13 have they?
14
A
I haven't inquired, like I told you, at this
15 point.
16
Q
Are you suggesting to us today that you
17 would rather not take medication that you need for your
18 health than to even look into what it would take to
19 refinance this house?
20
A
Yes. I am saying that, but I have been
21 taking my medication every other day. And I think your
22 client will vouch, you know, about how she has, you know,
23 lived with me that many years. She knows how I am about
24 medicine. And, yes, I have been taking it every other day,
25 but not with the doctor's okay. I have just been doing it,

1 because I just don't have the money to pursue, you know, to
2 keep getting it.
3
Q
You said that you didn't want to refinance
4 the house because you didn't want to be 101 years old when
5 the thirty year mortgage will be paid off, but, obviously,
6 the mortgage will get paid off when it gets sold. Do you
7 understand that concept?
8
A Well, may I ask you something?
Q No, sir. Please, answer my question.
A Repeat it again, please.
Q Well, you have said that one of the reasons,
9
10
11
12 as I understand it, that you don't want to even look into
13 refinancing this house is because you don't want to be
14 paying on a mortgage until you are 101 years old. And I am
15 asking you don't you acknowledge that if this house gets
16 sold, and if you are serious about wanting to go sell this
17 house, that when it is sold the mortgage will be paid off
18 completely? Do you understand that?
19
A
I understand that, yes. But I didn't say
20 that.
21
Q
What did you say, sir?
22
A
I said that I am trying to -- I am waiting
23 for somebody to come by and maybe get an offer. And if it
24 is a reasonable offer, then I will clear it with Mrs.
25 Krafsig. And we will sell it, and that will be it. But to

go ahead and to re-mortgage, I just don't feel that I can
do that.
Q It is just something you don't want to do,
isn't it?
A
No. It is not something I don't want to do,
sir. I said to you that I would look into it, and I intend
to do that.
Q Well, wait a minute. We have been asking
you to look into it now for months, haven't we?
A Well, you are not, you know, I didn't know
you were an authority on the financial basis. I will look
into it if I, you know, when the time comes. I will do
that.
Q
Well, isn't it true that since July we have
expressly, orally and in writing asked you to look into it?
A Well, you have been trying to tell me to do
that. You have wrote in a letter. And you also brought it
up at the Domestic Relations hearing. But you have to
understand something, sir, you know, I didn't get where I
am today by listening to you.
Q Now, you indicated on direct examination
that you are willing to reduce the price of the house for
23 its sale, do you remember that?
24 A I said it is negotiable, yes, sir.

8 Defendant's Exhibit 1, sir, the second -- excuse me, the
9 last page of that, sir. Would you consult that, please,
10 page three. Do you see where it says mortgage/rent $100.00
11 a month?
12
13
14
A
Q
Yeah.
What is that?
MR. BRADERMAN: Your Honor, if I may
15 explain. They are in the wrong -- when it was typed -- the
16 mortgage is 2736 --
17 MR. SHADE: I am satisfied --
18 MR. BRADERMAN: $100.00 a month should be
19 maintenance, Your Honor. I apologize.
20 MR. SHADE: I am satisfied with that.
21 MR. BRADERMAN: I apologize.

Q
Going back to this mortgage issue, sir.

Q Well, if there were a concept by which you
could actually borrow the major portion of the equity of
that house or at least what you needed from it, as a
retired person would you have any interest in that concept?
A Well, without having any knowledge of it, I
think it would be hard for me to answer for you, because I
don't really know what advantage it would be for me.
Q Did Jon Donmoyer have financial problems
between 1996 and 2001?
A
Q
Yes, sir. He ran into bankruptcy.
What was the nature of his problems? What
12 put him in bankruptcy?

14 in over his head.

Q But you know he declared bankruptcy?
A I know he declared bankruptcy, that's right.
Q When did he do that?
MR. BRADERMAN: Your Honor, just an
objection. I understand this is a de novo hearing. But I
don't recall any direct testimony with regard to a Jon
Donmoyer, so I don't know
THE COURT: I don't even know who he is or

1 why this is at all important to this.
2 MR. SHADE: This is part of the reason why
3 it gets a little awkward when he took the stand first. If
4 we would have gone first, we would have established that
5 Jon Donmoyer is Mr. Krafsig's homosexual lover. And that
6 in the discovery --
7
8
MR. BRADERMAN: Objection.
MR. SHADE: In the discovery that we have
9 been given already involving the check ledgers of Mr.
10 Krafsig, to which we never had access before, between
11 1996 -- between January 1, 1996, and May of this year, Mr.
12 Krafsig gave Mr. Donmoyer more than $20,000.00.
13 THE COURT: Well, why don't you just ask him
14 whether that's true, and then we will move on. Either he
15 gave that much money to this individual, and I frankly
16 don't care what the reason is
17
MR. BRADERMAN: Your Honor --
18 THE COURT: Or he didn't give the money
19 MR. BRADERMAN: And that's a scurrilous
20 remark about it being a homosexual partner. That's not
21 true, Your Honor.
22
THE COURT: He hasn't made any comment about
23 that, and he has not been asked to.

1 through at least May of this year that you gave Jon
2 Donmoyer more than $20,000.00 in checks, payable to him, as
3 well as wire transfers from the checking account about
4 which you have testified here today?
5
A
Yeah, the way you are putting it. What I
6 have done, that money that I gave Mr. Donmoyer was for tile
7 work that he had done. There was one occasion where I was
8 supposed to go out to St. Louis, and I wire transferred him
9 money so he could pay for the flight for me and my lodging,
10 because he had a one bedroom apartment, and I didn't want
11 to stay there.
12 I was going to stay down in what they call I
13 think the Train Station. And I couldn't go, I had to have
14 some surgery, and I couldn't go. And so I got the majority
15 of that money back. But any of the other money was used
16 towards mostly for the tile. I did help him with some
17 other things when, you know, the boy had no money, but it
18 didn't total that.
19 I also want to point out the fact that he
20 did that on the condition that it would be a loan unless he
21 could do some of the tile work. Now, maybe Mrs. Krafsig is
22 not versed in this enough or you yourself, but the home of
23 my caliber you have to have tile work done in your home.
24 And that young man has put down over 3,000 square feet of
25 tile to this point. And if you check for just floor
36
"'

h'
o
o
1 tiling, what it costs, anywhere from six to $9.00 a square
2 foot, you are talking about $21,000.00. And there is no
3 way that I have compensated Jon for $21,000.00. And I
4 resent that, for you even to imply something -- without
5 asking me first what that money was spent on.
6 And when we took our trip to see the ball
7 game, I asked Mrs. Krafsig specifically if that would be
8 okay. And she said that being I was never away from that
9 house in twenty-five years that I deserve that. And now it
10 seems very difficult for me to see that being thrown in my
11 face, when some of that money that Jon had was I advanced
12 him so he could get paid for the tickets and for the
13 lodging and things like that. And that was a reward for
14 what he had done, and Mrs. Krafsig knows that.
15 Q Mr. Krafsig
16 A But don't say to me that I gave him
17 $20,000.00 like it was given to him. That's not true
18 whatsoever.
19 Q When did Mr. Donmoyer start laying tile in
20 the marital dwelling?
21
22
A
Q
Three, four years ago.
And isn't it true that at the time he
23 started laying tile he had no experience in how to do that
24 at all?
25
A
I wouldn't say that, sir, because he did

o
1 some work when he lived in Virginia. He did his own
2 bathroom, a beautiful job. He did his mother and dad's
3 place, their bathroom as well. And he does a very nice
4 job.
5 In fact, if I may, Your Honor, I have a
6 picture here that I could show you of the work that he has
7 done. I have it in my briefcase. May I get it, sir?
8 MR. SHADE: That really doesn't go --
9 THE WITNESS: Well, I think it is important,
10 Your Honor --
11
THE COURT: Move onto some other line. This
12 is bogging down. He says he makes so much money. He can't
13 afford to pay your client alimony. Now, I assume that you
14 are going to argue contrary-wise. It doesn't take me that
15 long to get a handle on these issues.
16 MR. SHADE: Well, this is the evidence to
17 develop that, Your Honor.
18 BY MR. SHADE:
19
Q
Isn't it true that you also paid Jon
20 Dunmoyer's student loans?
21 A Yes. That was our agreement. He had no
22 health insurance. This is what his payment was. He had no
23 health insurance, and I offered to do that because I wanted
24 him to have it, because, you know, I couldn't let the boy
25 go with no health insurance. And I paid his automobile

AFTER RECESS

THE COURT: I agree with Mr. Shade, that we

12 have been. And we must move this testimony along. Go
13 ahead.
14
MR. SHADE: With all due respect, Your
15 Honor, I will try to be brief. But I beg leave for just a
16 few more questions about Jon Donmoyer.
17
THE COURT: Sure.

19
Q
Isn't it true that Jon Donmoyer has a
20 bedroom at the marital dwelling?
21
A
Jon stays in one of the guest rooms only
22 when he is working there. He does not live there.

Q
Does he have his own apartment?

1 A That's in Annville, Pennsylvania. It is

4 to do that.
5 Q Mr. Krafsig, I am handing you documents
6 marked for identification as Plaintiff's Exhibits 9 and 10.
7 And I would ask you first to take a look at No.9, sir?
8
A
Yes.
9 Q And ask you if that is an accurate copy of a
10 page of your checking account register covering the latter
11 half of 1998?
12
A
Yes.

20 Pennsylvania National to Financial Trust. The bank merged
21 and changed names.
22 Q Okay. That's all I want to know. And isn't
23 it true that the next line below that refers to wire

when she retired if I remember.
Q And she worked there from the time she was

that's what that money is in there for. And, you know,
that's what I am hoping it is going to be used for, to take
care of her if she needs it.
Q Isn't it true that you borrowed money from
your mother within the last five years?
A Borrowed money, maybe you could be more
specific when you are saying borrow.
Q Have you borrowed any money from your mother
within the last five years?
A I have but very minimal -- I mean, a very
small amount of money.
Q What do you call a very small amount?
A Oh, I can't tell you that. I just -- I
don't remember everything.
Q The bottom line is whenever you need any
money that your mother has, that's in joint names with
yourself and your mother, you have access to it, don't you?
A I wouldn't do that. My mother would have to
authorize that. I wouldn't even think of doing something
like that. I don't like you to even insinuate such a
thing.
Q
But all you have to do is ask, isn't that
true?

A
Q
No.
So these joint accounts are strictly your
11 mother's money?
12 A Her money, yes, right. And the only reason
13 she put my name on is because of the age and you know
14 what's happening at this stage in life. I never, until my
15 mother came with me, I never even asked my mother how much

Q Are you satisfied to have any communications
concerning this case addressed to my office?
A Yes.
Q You have in front of you a document marked
for identification as Plaintiff's Exhibit 1. And I will
ask you if that is an accurate copy of your income and
expense statement?
A
Q
Yes.
You do not receive your own social security,
A
Q
No, I don't.
Why is it that your husband receives social
13 security but you do not?
14 A When I started with the State they hadn't
15 adopted social security yet. And when they did, they had a
16 representative working at the Liquor Board, where we were
17 employed, counsel us and tell us that because my husband's
18 income was greater, it would be useless for me to have
19 social security deducted from my paycheck. So I never
20 elected to have it taken out.

A
Q
My attorney.
Okay. And with regard to the other list,
being the checking account totals and distributions to Jon
Donmoyer, did Mr. Shade or Mr. Shade's office prepare that?
A Yes.
Q So you don't know whether it is accurate or
not, do you?
A (No response.)
Q You don't have to answer.
Mrs. Krafsig, please refer to your Exhibit
No.1, where you have your monthly electric charge at
$250.00 a month. Is that just an estimate?
A Yes. I had previously stated some of these
were estimated charges.
Q And oil at $200.00 a month. Is that home
heating oil or apartment heating oil?
A Actually it was a home.
Q Without telling us where you are living, are
you paying any rent presently?

No.

you have an oil charge?
A At this point I just relinquished my
apartment and have made a security deposit upon another.
Q And is it still your estimate that your heat
and electric expense combined is going to be about $450.00
a month?
A I would say so.
Q How many square feet in this apartment?
A I don't really know that.
Q And does your apartment include any
utilities, or do you have to pay utilities separately?
A
My former one I had to pay them.
Q How about this apartment, do you have to pay
water at $50.00 a month for your new apartment?
A Yes.
Q And sewer at $25.00 a month?
A Yes.
Q
A
That's going to be your cost monthly?
Yes.
20 Q And you have listed home owner's insurance
21 at $60.00 a month. Have you checked into obtaining a
22 policy for home owner's insurance?
23 A That's an approximate amount. However, I
24 feel that that's a true figure.

A From information obtained from others,

Q So tenant insurance in the apartment is
going to be about $720.00 a year?
A I would say so, yes.
Q Now, automobile payments at $500.00 a month,
have you looked at automobiles that you are interested in
purchasing?
A I haven't, no.
Q So that's strictly an estimate at $500.00 a
month?
A I would say it is an estimate.
Q Now, the dentist you have at $500.00 a
month. Are you saying it is going to run you $6,000.00 a
year for the dentist?
A I don't know how long this work will
continue.
Q
Clothing at $350.00 a month. Historically
19 when you lived with Mr. Krafsig, is that what you spent on
20 clothing every month?
21 A I lived with him for over forty-four years.
22 It is a little hard to answer that.
23 Q Did you hear my question? You have clothing
24 listed at $350.00 a month. Is that what you historically
25 spent a month for clothing when you lived with Mr. Krafsig?

16 A (No response.)
17 Q Is that what you spent during the time you
18 lived with Mr. Krafsig at the beauty shop?
19 A When I lived in the marital dwelling with my
20 husband the person who came out there to do the beautician
21 work was a friend of the family. And those rates that she
22 charged were way below what the actual going rate is for a
23 beautician to charge.

I have a scalp problem. I am losing my
hair.
Q
Is that a problem you just recently
4 developed?
A
It started about three years ago.
Q With regard to having your hair done, with
regard to buying clothes and these other expenses that you
have listed, did Mr. Krafsig ever prevent you from spending
any money on those items?
A He never tried to prevent me, but then I
never did, because I tried to do it myself.
Q Oh, so you didn't have these expenses while
you were living with Mr. Krafsig. I just want to
understand your testimony.
A The very last year the friend of the family
that came to do Don's mother's hair started to do mine.
Before that I took care of my own.
Q Mrs. Krafsig, is it not true that you could
come and go in the home and spend money as you deemed
appropriate?
A
Q
Not really.
Did you ever go to Atlantic City to the
casinos?
A
That was not something that I really paid

If he --

Can you answer yes or no?

No.

Q Did you see any point in going out and
shopping for a car until you would know what the outcome of
this appeal was going to be here today?
A That's exactly -- I mean, that's why -- I
mean, how could I do something like that?
Q And once again, while you accumulated this
couple thousand dollars over the last couple months, that's
while you were living in an un-air conditioned apartment
with no car?

with whom your husband is associating as a danger to you.
Who is that person?
A His name is Jon Donmoyer.
Q That's the same Jon Donmoyer we have
testified about here earlier today?
A Yes.
Q Has he actually directly threatened you?
A A week prior to my leaving the premises I
was in the kitchen doing the dishes. And I had a large
butcher knife laying across the dish rack. And he took it
and came up behind me and he said -- and he went like this
with the knife in front of me, and he said you didn't know
I could be dangerous did you. And he was not laughing. He

Q
And who told you that?
A I was there. I could see what he did.
Q In the four years that he worked in the home
did he ever threaten you other than that last incident that
you considered to be a threat?
A I was always very uneasy around him.
Q Did you tell your husband you were uneasy?
A No. Because I thought maybe I was imagining
it at first, but --
Q You never told your husband you were uneasy
around him, did you? Did you ever tell your husband to get
rid of Jon Donmoyer?
A When he came back from his trip that he
took, I told him what I found in his jacket. In fact, I
gave them to him to look at. And he said to me, I hope you
haven't shown this to anyone because you could ruin me.
Q
You are under oath. Did Mr. Krafsig say
