I Mary Morgan am requesting for part of Donald W. Morgan
Jr.'s retirement plan. In 2010 took out $15,592.71 from my
401k plan to try and save the home that is in both of our names
from going in to foreclosure. Due to unfortunate circum
stances I was not able to do so. Donald contributed no money
for the first mortgage during the time of our separation and
paid $170.00 toward the second mortgage. I have all the
documentation to show for this claim. The home is now in
foreclosure and the children and I have moved out.
Thank you,

MARY E. MORGAN,
Defendant IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, March 13,
2012. This is the date set for a hearing in the
above-captioned divorce proceedings. This action was
commenced by the filing of a complaint in divorce on May 4,
2007, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown
of the marriage. Husband has filed an affidavit under
Section 3301(d) of the Domestic Relations Code on April 29,
2011. The affidavit averred a separation in excess of two
years, from January 2007.
Wife filed a counter-affidavit on August 2011
indicating that she wished to claim economic relief.
However, wife has not filed a claim for equitable
distribution as such and there are no other economic claims
filed in the action. The reason that this matter has been
referred to the Master by Judge Ebert was because of a
summary statement which wife attached indicating that she
was trying to save the home from foreclosure and that she
had paid monies out of a 401(k) to attempt to accomplish
saving the home. Ultimately, the house went into
foreclosure and the parties were left with debt, which wife
1
has paid on her behalf, and husband is currently paying a
Visa card with a balance of approximately $2,800.00. The
parties also each have a 401(k) account. Husband's 401(k)
date of separation balance was $13,231.00 and the date of
separation balance for wife's 401(k) was approximately
$18,000.00.
After discussion with the parties this
morning, it is the Master's suggestion, and will be the
Master's recommendation, that the parties stay in the
position in which they are currently in without either party
being obligated to pay any sum of money to the other party.
The circumstances out of which this arose are unfortunate
but there simply was not enough money to retain the real
estate and wife had to let the property go into foreclosure.
She did have the benefit, as pointed out, of having a place
to live with the children for a period of time until she had
to vacate the premises. Husband was making some
contribution too toward a second mortgage as well as paying
child support and providing medical insurance for the
benefit of the three children.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the Master's recommendation that the parties
maintain the status quo; that is, each party is responsible
for the debt that has been discussed herein, with husband
2
continuing to pay the balance on the Visa card. Further,
each party will maintain his or her own 401(k) account,
which has been referenced by Mr. O'Connell in the statement,
and the divorce can be concluded under Section 3301(d) of
the Domestic Relations Code inasmuch as the parties have
been separated for a period in excess of two years.
Without having to go through the formality of
having this report filed with the parties entitled to take
exceptions, which would further prolong the proceedings, the
Master is going to ask each of the parties if they are
willing to have this agreement entered as a final resolution
of their outstanding issues in the divorce action and allow
the matter to proceed to the Court for a final decree in
divorce.
Mr. Morgan, you heard my statement on the
record, do you understand it?
MR. MORGAN: Yes.
THE MASTER: Are you willing to allow this to
proceed without the filing of exceptions so that a divorce
decree can be entered?
MR. MORGAN: Yes.
THE MASTER: And you are willing to maintain
the status quo as referenced in the statement that I have
made on the record?
MR. MORGAN: Yes.

THE MASTER: Mrs. Morgan, you have heard the
statement that I have made on the record?
MS. MORGAN: Yes.
THE MASTER: Do you understand it?
MS. MORGAN: Yes.
THE MASTER: And are you willing to let the
divorce proceed without the opportunity to file exceptions
so that this matter can be resolved with a final decree in
divorce?
MS. MORGAN:

As a final resolution of all
Yes.
