by them jointly, after discussion and consultation with each other, with a view
toward obtaining and following a harmonious policy in the child's best interest.
Each party agrees not to impair the activity or circumstance concerning their child
that could reasonably be expected to be of concern to the other. Day to day
decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent then having physical custody.
13
With regard to any emergency decisions that must be made, the parent having
physical custody of the child at the time of the emergency shall be permitted to
make any immediate decisions necessitated thereby. However, that parent shall
inform the other of the emergency and consult with him or her as soon as
possible. In accordance with 23 Pa. C.S.A. §5309, each party shall be entitled to
complete and full information from any doctor, dentist, teacher, professional or
authority and to have copies of any reports or information given to either party as
a parent as authorized by statute.
b) Each party agrees not to attempt to alienate the affections of the
child from the other and will make a special conscious effort not to do so. Each
party shall refrain from making derogatory comments about the other in the
presence of the child and, to the extent possible, shall not permit third parties
from making such comments in the presence of the child.
c) The parties shall share physical custody of their minor child as
follows:
i) The minor child will reside with Husband in Pennsylvania
except for the times he is with Wife in California.
ii) The minor child will reside with Wife in California when the
child is off from school for the Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays, and
for four weeks during the summer months.
iii) Should Wife return periodically to Pennsylvania to visit, the
minor child shall reside with Wife during those times. During the school term,
14
Wife will transport the child to and from school. Appropriate notice shall be given
to Husband of Wife's impending visits.
iv) Wife will pay all airfare costs for the minor child's
transportation between Pennsylvania and California.
v) Should either party desire to relocate more than fifty (50)
miles from their present Pennsylvania and California residences respectively, at
least sixty (60) days' written notice must be given to the other party so that
modified custody arrangements may be negotiated and if unable to come to an
agreement, either party may petition the Court to decide a new custody
arrangement.
d) Husband shall be solely responsible for maintaining medical, dental
and vision insurance for the child through his post-high school education to an
age as allowed by Husband's plan or plans.
27. ALIMONY AND SUPPORT
The parties acknowledge and agree that no alimony, alimony pendente lite
or spousal support is due or should be paid by one party to the other; and each
irrevocably waives entitlement, right and/ or claim both now and if the future
thereto. Neither party intends to file a claim for child support, recognizing
however that entitlement to and the amount of child support is never final.
Nevertheless, Wife agrees to pay to Husband $600.00 a month toward support of
the minor child.
28. ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENT
15
Each of the parties shall on demand execute and deliver to the other any
documents necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions and purposes of
this Agreement. If either party fails on demand to comply with this provision, that
party shall pay to the other all attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses
reasonably incurred as a result of such failure.
29. WIFE'S DEBTS
Wife represents and warrants to Husband that since the parties'
separation she has not and in the future she will not contract or incur any debt or
liability for which Husband or his estate might be responsible and Wife shall
indemnify and save Husband harmless from any and all claims or demands
made against him by reason of debts or obligations incurred by her.
30. HUSBAND'S DEBTS
Husband represents and warrants to Wife that since the parties'
separation he has not and in the future he will not contract or incur any debt or
liability for which Wife or her estate might be responsible and Husband shall
indemnify and save Wife harmless from any and all claims or demands made
against her by reason of debts or obligations incurred by him.
31. WAIVERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST ESTATES
Except as herein otherwise provided, each party may dispose of his or her
property in any way, and each party hereby waives and relinquishes any and all
rights he or she may now have or hereafter acquire, under the present or future
laws of any jurisdiction, to share in the property or the estate of the other as a
result of the marital relationship, including without limitation, dower, curtsy,
16
statutory allowance, widow's allowance, right to take in intestacy, right to take
against the Will of the other, and right to act as administrator or executor of the
other's estate, and each will, to the request of the other, execute, acknowledge,
and deliver any and all instruments which may be necessary or advisable to carry
into effect this mutual waiver and relinquishment of all such interests, rights and
claims.
32. REPRESENTATION
The provisions of this Agreement and their legal effect have been fully
explained to Wife by her attorney, Jay R. Braderman, Esquire. Husband
chooses not to be represented by counsel but is of full age and sui juris. The
parties acknowledge that they fully understand the facts and have been fully
informed as to their legal rights and obligations, and they acknowledge and
accept that this Agreement is, in the circumstance, fair and equitable and that it is
being entered into freely and voluntarily, after having received such advice and
with such knowledge and that execution of the Agreement is not the result of any
duress or undue influence and that it is not the result of any collusion or improper
or illegal agreement or agreements.
33. TAX PROVISIONS
The parties believe and agree that the division of property heretofore
made by this Agreement is a non-taxable division of property between co-owners
rather than a taxable sale or exchange of such property. Each party promises
not to take any position with respect to the adjusted basis of the property
assigned to him or her or with respect to any other issue which is inconsistent
17
with the position set forth in the preceding sentence on his or her federal or state
income tax returns.
The parties have in the past filed joint federal and state tax returns. Both
parties agree that in the event any deficiency in federal, state or local income tax
is proposed, or any assessment of any such tax is made against either of them,
each will indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any loss or
liability for any such tax deficiency or assessment and any interest, penalty and
expense incurred in connection therewith. Such tax, interest, penalty or expense
shall be paid solely and entirely by the individual who is finally determined to be
the cause of the misrepresentations or failures to disclose the nature and extent
of his or her separate income on the aforesaid joint returns.
34. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties and there
are no representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings other than those
expressly set forth herein.
35. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
36. INDEPENDENT SEPARATE COVENANTS
It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto
that each paragraph hereof shall be deemed to be a separate and independent
covenant and agreement.
37. VOID CLAUSES
18
If any term, condition, clause, or provision of this Agreement shall be
determined or declared to be void or invalid in law or otherwise, then only that
term, condition, clause or provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and in
all other respects this Agreement shall be valid and continue in full force, effect
and operation.
38. DOMESTIC RELATIONS CODE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
PENNSYLVANIA
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each party waives any claim
they may have against the other under the Domestic Relations Code or other
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania including, but not limited to, spousal
support, alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs and equitable
distribution of marital property.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, have hereunto set their hands and seals the day and year first above
written.
