LARRY STRAWSER,
Plaintiff
vs.
LAURA STRAWSER,
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
N0. 07 - 4034 CIVIL
IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, March 31,
2009. The parties and counsel were at a de novo hearing
before Mr. Rundle this morning and in the process of
meeting, they apparently have reached an agreement with
respect to the divorce issues. The Master notes that a
conference has been scheduled for April 28, 2009, with
counsel. Obviously, if we have an agreement today with the
parties and with counsel present, we will not need to have
the conference on April 28, 2009. Counsel were also
directed to file pre-trial statements by April 17 and the
agreement will obviate the need for having the pretrial
statements filed.
This action was commenced by the filing of a
complaint in divorce on July 3, 2007, raising grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. No
economic claims were raised in the complaint.
An amended complaint was filed on June 2,
2008, raising the economic issue of equitable distribution.
No claims have been raised by either party for alimony or
counsel fees and costs.
Present in the hearing room are the
1
Plaintiff, Larry Strawser, and his counsel Mary A. Etter
Dissinger and the Defendant, Laura Strawser, and her counsel
Marcus A. McKnight, III. Both counsel and the parties have
agreed to return tomorrow morning to sign affidavits of
consent and waivers of notice of intention to request entry
of divorce decree so that the divorce be concluded under
Section 3301 (c) of the Domestic Relations Code. At that
time the parties and counsel will also review the draft of
the agreement.
An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties. The agreement will
be considered the substantive agreement of the parties, not
subject to any changes or modifications except for
correction of typographical errors which may be made during
the transcription. Consequently, when the parties and
counsel return to review the draft of the agreement, they
will not be able to make substantive changes but can make
typographical corrections, if necessary. The parties will
be asked to affix their signatures to the agreement
affirming the terms of settlement as stated an the record.
Upon receipt by the Master of the completed agreement, the
Master will prepare an order vacating his appointment and
counsel can then filed a praecipe transmitting the record to
the Court requesting a final decree in divorce.
The parties were married on April 3, 1971,
2
and separated June 1, 2007. The parties have two children
of the marriage, both of whom are emancipated. Ms.
Dissinger.
MS. DISSINGER:
1. The parties own various items of property, real estate
and personal. They are itemized on Plaintiff's inventory
and appraisement filed February 24, 2009. Without going
through and enumerating all of the items listed on the
inventory and appraisement, the agreement of the parties is
that the marital residence, which is jointly owned, will
become the sole and exclusive property of wife. The
transfer of the deed will take place on or before April 15,
2009. The deed will be prepared by wife's counsel and
provided to husband's counsel and he will promptly execute
it and return it to wife's counsel.
2. With regard to the motor vehicles, each party has in
their possession the vehicle they wish to retain. To the
extent that it is necessary to remove the other spouse's
name from the title to the vehicle in possession of the
other spouse, they agree that they shall accomplish removal
of their name from the title and sign it over to the other
spouse on or before April 15, 2009. Any vehicle that is
encumbered, the spouse receiving that vehicle will assume
the encumbrance and hold harmless the other party. Wife's
vehicle, the 2007 Honda Odessy, is the only one that is
encumbered. When that title becomes available, husband will
execute the title transferring it to wife. In the meantime,
she will maintain and insure that vehicle such that husband
is not identified as owning an uninsured vehicle. If she
fails to do so, she will hold him harmless for her failure
to keep the motor vehicle insured.
In light of the Master's suggestion, wife's
counsel will prepare a power of attorney which husband will
sign authorizing wife to execute the title on his behalf
once the encumbrance is lifted on her motor vehicle.
Husband will sign that within five (5) days of receipt of
the power of attorney from wife's counsel.
3. With regard to the financial accounts of the parties,
wife shall receive all accounts at Orrstown Bank.
Husband will receive his 401(k) which has been
transferred to a Wachovia IRA. Wife relinquishes all of her
3
right, title, and interest in and to that account.
The parties are the owners of a Smith Barney account,
which is titled jointly. That shall become the property of
husband henceforth. Wife hereby relinquishes all of her
right, title, and interest in and to the joint Smith Barney
account.
Husband relinquishes all of his right, title and
interest in and to wife's Roth IRA account at Smith Barney.
It shall henceforth be her sole and exclusive property.
The parties will cooperate in signing any documents
necessary to effectuate the transfer of these accounts to
the party who is to receive ownership of the account.
4. With regard to the household goods, all of the
household goods in the marital residence shall become the
sole and exclusive property of wife with the exception of
some pre-marital items which husband is to receive on or
about April 15, 2009. Those items that husband is to
receive are his grandfather's antique mantle clock, his
photo albums in the attic that are pictures of husband when
he was a child, and his grandmother's water pitcher and
glass set. All personal property remaining in the marital
home will remain wife's and all personal property in
possession of husband will remain his.
5. Husband shall receive the two burial plots that are
owned jointly by the parties. Husband will arrange for the
plots to be transferred to his name. When the cemetery
association has prepared the appropriate documentation, it
will be provided to wife who will, within ten (10) days of
receipt of the document, sign transferring ownership to
husband.
6. Wife is the owner of various accounts at Member's lst,
some owned individually by her and some titled jointly to
husband. All of the Member's lst accounts shall become the
sole and exclusive property of wife.
Wife's M&T accounts shall become her sole and exclusive
property.
The joint certificates of deposit at Member's lst shall
become wife's sole and exclusive property as well.
7. The parties, during the marriage, sold a cabin in
another county. The agreement for sale required three
payments to be made in three different years. The first
4
payment has already been received by the parties and
distributed. The second payment has been received by
husband and is currently in an account. Upon execution of
this agreement, husband shall divide that account equally
with wife and pay her $1,000.00 on account of the cemetery
plots. Upon receipt by husband of the last payment of the
cabin, he will promptly, within two weeks of receipt,
disburse to wife one-half the proceeds from that last
payment.
8. The parties further agree that whatever order is
entered by the Support Master today will expire and
terminate on May 1, 2009. In the event that the Support
Master indicates that there is no support due and owing to
wife, then that is not an issue. In the event the Support
Master orders some amount of support through May 1, 2009,
the order will terminate automatically on May 1, 2009, by
agreement of the parties. If it is spousal support, it will
convert to alimony pendente lite through May 1, 2009, if a
decree in divorce is entered before May 1, 2009, and
terminate on May 1, 2009. If there is an arrearage due and
owing to wife under the support order entered in this county
to their support docket number, this agreement does not
waive or relinquish the right of wife to collect those
arrearages.
9. With regard to marital debt, there is only the debt
owed on wife's car. There is an obligation due and owing to
the parties by their adult son. It is in the nature of a
mortgage on the residence wife is to receive. The parties,
during the marriage, permitted their son to use their
residence as collateral for him to obtain a mobile home.
It has been the agreement of the parties and continues to be
that the son will pay that mortgage. By this agreement,
the parties agree that the payments are due and owing from
the son to wife exclusively and that it shall be wife's
responsibility to collect that debt for her sole benefit.
Husband does not have any right hereafter to seek to enforce
the payment agreement between him and their son. That
shall be only wife's privilege and responsibility. Wife
has assumed the obligation to pay the mortgage in the event
that their son does not repay her.
Husband will release his lien on the title of the
mobile home when the debt has been been paid in full to
wife. Inasmuch as wife is receiving the payment from the
son for the lien against the real estate, she will indemnify
and save husband harmless on account of any claims which may
be made by the lien holder against husband.
5
10. Husband will maintain ownership of his life insurance
policies and wife will maintain ownership of her life
insurance policies and each party can designate whomever
they wish as a beneficiary of those policies.
11. Except as herein otherwise provided, each party may
dispose of his or her property in any way and each party
hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he or she
may now have or hereafter acquire under the present or
future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or
the estate of the other as a result of the marital
relationship including without limitation, statutory
allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to
take against the will of the other, and right to act as
administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will
at the request of the other execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any and all instruments which may be necessary or
advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and
relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.
MS. DISSINGER: Mr. Strawser, have you heard
the agreement that I dictated and the supplements that Mr.
McKnight made to the record in terms of your agreement with
your wife?
MR. STRAWSER: Yes.
MS. DISSINGER: Do you understand everything
that we have said today?
MR. STRAWSER: Yes.
MS. DISSINGER: And the agreement that we
have represented to the Court as being your agreement with
your wife, is that your agreement?
MR. STRAWSER: Yes.
MS. DISSINGER: Do you have any questions
about anything that has transpired in this room today?
6
MR. STRAWSER: No.
MS. DISSINGER: And you are satisfied that
this agreement should become an order of Court and you will
forever be bound by its terms?
MR. STRAWSER: Yes.
MS. DISSINGER: Tomorrow you cannot
Monday-morning quarterback it, you understand that?
MR. STRASWER: Yes.
MR. McKNIGHT: Laura, did you hear all of the
provisions of the agreement that we reached today?
MS. STRAWSER: Yes.
MR. McKNIGHT: And are you willing to make
that your agreement to resolve all issues in this case?
MS. STRAWSER: Yes.
MR. McKNIGHT: Are you satisfied with the way
I have represented you throughout this process?
MS. STRAWSER: Yes.
MR. McKNIGHT: And you are willing to enter
into this agreement and forever waive any other rights you
have to the marital assets?
MS. STRAWSER: Yes.
THE MASTER: Thank you very much.
I acknowledge that I have read the above
stipulation and agreement, that I understand the terms of
7
settlement as set forth herein, and that by signing below I
ratify and affirm the agreement previously made and intend
to bind myself to the settlement as a contract obligating
myself to the terms of settlement and subjecting myself to
the methods and procedures of enforcement which may be
imposed by law and in particular Section 3105 of the
Domestic Relations Code.

An amended complaint was filed on June 2,

No claims have been raised by either party for alimony or

Present in the hearing room are the
1
Plaintiff, Larry Strawser, and his counsel Mary A. Etter
Dissinger and the Defendant, Laura Strawser, and her counsel
Marcus A. McKnight, III. Both counsel and the parties have
agreed to return tomorrow morning to sign affidavits of

Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code. At that

An agreement is going to be placed on the

affirming the terms of settlement as stated on the record.
Upon receipt by the Master of the completed agreement, the

counsel can then filed a praecipe transmitting the record to

The parties were married on April 3, 1971,

MS. DISSINGER:
