ROBERT WALTER CROCHUNIS,

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA
NO.. 99-7037
CIVIL ACTION-LAW
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT AND SPECIAL RELIEF
1. The Petitioner is Robert Walter Crochunis the Defendant in the above
captioned matter.
2. The Respondent is Lauri Kay Crochunis the Plaintiff in the above captioned
matter.
3. The Defendant filed a Petition on January 14, 2002 for contempt and to
modify a Marital Settlement Agreement, and after hearing before the Court, the Court
entered an Order dated April 17, 2002, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a
part hereof.
4. Pursuant to the terms of the Order, the Plaintiff was required to cooperate in
the sale of the real estate, with the Defendant continuing to pay the mortgage, for
which he would be ultimately reimbursed out of the sale from the Plaintiff's portion of
the net proceeds. Furthermore, the Plaintiff was enjoined from interfering with the
showing of the property by the realtors, or imposing any preconditions on the same.
5. The realtors who testified at the first hearing, have since refused to be
involved in the ultimate sale of the property, as a result of the conduct of the Plaintiff.
6. The Defendant and Plaintiff were forced to find other realtors who were
willing to list and show the property for sale.
7. The Defendant and Plaintiff had retained two separate realtors since the
date of the last hearing, Vince Mellott at B & H Agency in Carlisle, PA, and Patrick
Smith at Homestead Group in Camp Hill, PA.
8. During the past year, the Defendant has continued to have problems
showing the property, as the Plaintiff continues to insist that some showings not
occur, while others occur only under her own conditions.
9. The Plaintiff has been responsible for upkeep and maintenance of the
property. She has failed to do so and the home is depreciating quickly in value
because of it. Both inside and outside of the home are cluttered with her possessions
and the realtors have said this must change, as the property shows very poorly when
she does allow showings to occur.
10. Both realtors are of the present opinion that the property will never sell as
long as the Plaintiff continues to reside in the property, especially if she continues to
reside there with Brian Flinchbaugh, who has continued to threaten both the
Defendant, and potential purchasers, verbally and with his presence.
11. At one point in time in October of last year, an offer was made on the
house for $300,000.00. While the Defendant was willing to accept the offer, the
Plaintiff insisted on making a counteroffer of $325,000.00, which Defendant
reluctantly agreed to do. In the process by Buyers decided not to purchase the
property.
12. Based on the Defendant continuing to make the mortgage payments in
accordance with the Court's Order of April 17, 2002, and on the assumption of a sale
price of $300,000.00, the Plaintiff is now "out of equity" in that she will receive no
funds from the sale of the premises, regardless of her input.
13. There is no logical or legitimate reason for Plaintiff to continue to reside in
the property in which she has no financial interest or stake, and which is continuing
to remain a drain on the finances of the Defendant, while at the same time continuing
to impede the sale of the property.
14. The Defendant has been patient for the past year in attempting to sell the
property, but the Plaintiff has not been cooperative, and continues to reside with a
man in violation of the Marital Settlement Agreement, a man who continues to
impede the sale of the property.
15. Based on the foregoing, the Defendant believes, as do his realtors, that the
property will sell quicker if the house is vacated by the Plaintiff, her possessions and
her paramour immediately, and the Defendant is allowed to put it in saleable
condition.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant requests this Honorable Court to schedule a
hearing, and thereafter, to hold the Plaintiff in further contempt of Court, and to order
the immediate vacation of the Plaintiff, her possessions and her paramour, Brian
Flinchbaugh, from the premises, granting sole possession and ownership of the
property to the Defendant, and to further allow the Defendant to transfer the property
to any buyer without the signature of the Plaintiff.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN RE: PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
ORDER
AND NOW, this /7' day of April, 2002, alter hearing, the court finding that the
plaintiff/respondent is in contempt of the marital settlement order in this case, she is thus
adjudged. Specifically, the court finds that she has obstructed the sale of the marital real estate
forcing the petitioncr/defendant to continue to pay the expenses of maintaining the home for the
benefit of the respondent in excess of the time frame contemplated by either party. An
adjudication of contempt and the imposition of sanctions, including attorneys fees is deferred on
the following terms and conditions:
1. The defendant/petitioner is absolved from any continuing obligation to pay the costs
and expenses of maintaining the marital home pending its sale. Any mortgage payments made
after May 1, 2002, which are paid to prevent foreclosure, shall be reimbursed to the
defendant/petitioncr at the time of the ultimate sale of the real estate as a cost thereof and prior to
the division of the proceeds.
2. The plaintiff/respondent is ordered and directed to execute any and all documents
necessary to list the property for sale at a price not less than $325,000. She is enjoined from
rejecting any reasonable offer made. She is further enjoined from interfering in any way
whatsoever with the view of the premises by prospective purchasers including the setting of
preconditions of any kind. The plaintiff/respondent may avoid the installation of a "lock box" by
assuring her presence at the real estate at such times as it is viewed by prospective purchasers
but, in no event, shall she interfere with the show of the real estate by the real estate agent.
3. The defendant/petitioner shall be permitted to enter onto the marital property with not
less than fourteen (14) days notice for the purpose of retrieving his personal property which is
the subject of these proceedings. He may enter upon the premises of time marital property at any
reasonable time %vith reasonable notice for reasons having to do with the sale of tite real estate.
