RE: Lebo
Dear Chris:
I have your letter of 23 August 2007. I spoke to Mr. Lebo about that and he
denies removing money from the 401 (k) Plan. He believes the account has been
frozen and that no one can remove money from it.
I have asked him to provide me with more information and, when I get that,
I will share it with you. In the meantime, if you file something, please be certain I
receive a copy so that I can respond to it.
Sincerely,
L. Andes

Defendant )
IN DIVORCE
PETITION FOR LEAVE TO WITHDRAW AS ATTORNEY FOR DEFENDANT
AND NOW comes Samuel L. Andes, attorney at law, and petitions the court for
leave to withdraw as the attorney of record in this matter for the Defendant Robert A.
Lebo, based upon the following:
1. Petitioner herein is Samuel L. Andes, an attorney at law who maintains his
principal office for the practice of law at 525 North 12th Street in Lemoyne, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
2. The Respondents are the parties and Plaintiff's attorney, whose name and
address appears below.
3. Defendant engaged Petitioner to represent him in this divorce action and
related matters more than a year ago. Since that time, Petitioner has devoted his efforts
to performing his professional obligations to Defendant and to protecting Defendant's
interests in this litigation.
4. As a result of certain actions taken by Defendant, Petitioner is no longer able to
acquit his professional responsibilities to Defendant or to this court. The actions of
Defendant which have created this problem include:
a. Defendant has failed to supply Petitioner economic information
which Petitioner has repeatedly requested.
b. Defendant has repeatedly disregarded and failed to comply with
instructions and advice given to Defendant by Petitioner.
c. Defendant has failed to disclose to Petitioner, fully and accurately,
actions which Defendant has taken contrary to the instructions and advice to
Petitioner.
d. Defendant has failed to communicate with Petitioner as requested
by Petitioner.
5. The ability of Petitioner to perform his professional and ethical duties to
Defendant, to the other parties in this litigation, and to the court has been compromised
by the actions of Defendant.
6. Petitioner has provided a copy of this Petition to the Respondents and believes
that the Respondents will not concur with his request for leave to withdraw as Defendant`s
attorney. -
7. Previous matters in this action have been assigned to the Honorable J. Wesley
Oler.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this court to grant him leave to withdraw as
Defendant`s attorney in this matter.

ALICE F. LEBO, § No.: 07-5488 Civil Trial
Plaintiff §
v. § Civil Action -Law
ROBERT A. LEBO, §
Defendant § DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF/WIFE'S PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
1. The Petitioner is the above-captioned Plaintiff, Alice Lebo, an adult individual residing at
16 Coral Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. The Respondent is the above-captioned Defendant, Robert A. Lebo, an adult individual
residing at 16 Valley Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 who was represented by Samuel
L. Andes, Esquire, but Attorney Andes has filed a Petition to Withdrawal as counsel.
3. The primary marital asset in this matter is a 401(k) account which contained approximately
$122,000.00 but was depleted post separation sometime in June, 2007. A copy of the
statement showing said withdrawal is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A," and
incorporated in by reference.
4. In order to try to trace the proceeds of this $122,000 withdraw from the 401(k) done by
Defendant/Respondent/Husband, Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife has served on Husband's
counsel, a Request for Production of Documents and Interrogatories.
5. Defendant/Respondent/Husband has so far failed and refused to produce any documents,
answer any interrogatories and/or give any information that was requested through counsel
as a result of informal discover and requests by letter.
6. Since the 401(k) account balance of approximately $122,000 was the primary and only real
asset of this marriage, it is absolutely imperative that Plaintiff/Petitioner/Wife learn the
location of said proceeds from the withdrawal of said $122,000 to the extent that any
proceeds still exist and that same be "frozen".
7. Without the relief requested, it is believed that Defendant/Respondent/Husband is likely to
secrete, alienate, spend, give, borrow against and or in some other way deplete whatever is
left of the proceeds so as to deny Plaintiff/Petitioner/Wife access to this marital asset and
any ability to equitably distribute the marital property of these parties.
8. This matter is the subject of a Petition for Preservation of Assets before this Honorable
Court. A Temporary Order was entered into the Court on October 22, 2007. A true and
correct copy of the current order is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B," and incorporated
herein by reference. A hearing in the matter relative to a permanent Order is scheduled for
January 23, 2008. It should also be noted that the withdrawal by
Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo in, June, 2007, was before entry of the
Temporary Order and not after, and, therefore, is not able to be dealt with by a contempt
action.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife, Alice F. Lebo prays the Honorable Court for the
following reliefs
A. That the Court order the Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo to
divulge the whereabouts of whatever is left of the proceeds of $122,388.34,
withdrawn from his TYCO 401(k) in June, 2007;
B. That the Court order the Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo, to turn
over to Plaintiff s counsel, all bank statements and similar documentation showing
the whereabouts of said proceeds and the tracing of same from the withdrawal to
their present location;
C. That the Court order the Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo, to have
his accounts in whatever form in which the remaining proceeds of the said
$122,388.34 withdrawal is currently contained, to be frozen so as to make it such
that he may not alienate, sell, cash in, give, pledge, borrow against or in any other
way adversely affect Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife's interest therein under the Divorce
Code;
D. That the Court order Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo, to fully
comply with the discovery requests filed by Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife and to answer
all such Interrogatories and furnish all such documents requested within thirty (30)
days or suffer sanctions without further Order of Court, such sanctions including
but not limited to payment of attorney's fees;
E. That the Court direct Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo, to pay to
counsel for Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife, the sum of $1,000 in attorney's fees for
bringing this Petition as well as the Petition for Preservation of Assets along with
ongoing attorney's fees thereafter;
F. Such other relief as maybe deemed appropriate-ar~i necessary.

ALICE F. LEBO now ALICE F. SWENGEL, § No. 07-5488 Civil Trial
Plaintiff §
v, § Civil Action -Law
ROBERT A. LEBO, §
Defendant § DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR CONTEMPT AND SANCTIONS
1. Your Petitioner is the above-referenced Plaintiff, Alice F. Lebo now Alice F.
Swengel, an adult individual residing at 16 Coral Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania
17013.
2. The Respondent is the above-referenced Defendant, Robert A. Lebo, an adult
individual residing at 16 Valley Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013.
3. The parties have previously been before the Court regarding their pending divorce
action. The primary asset of the parties' marriage is a 401(k) account in
Husband's name alone. Husband's dissipation of the account was the subject of
a prior Petition for Special Relief filed by Petitioner/Wife on January 9, 2008. A
true and correct copy of Wife's Petition for Special Relief is attached hereto,
marked Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.
4. As a result of the Petition for Special Relief, an Order was entered on January 17,
2008, scheduling the matter for a hearing on January 23, 2008. A true and
correct copy of the Court's Order is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B" and
incorporated herein by reference.
Prior to the scheduled hearing date, Samuel L. Andes, attorney for Robert A.
Lebo filed a Petition to Withdraw as counsel for Respondent citing his inability
to continue to acquit his professional responsibilities to Respondent and the Court
as a result of certain actions of the Respondent, Robert A. Lebo. Samuel L.
Andes, Esquire, was granted leave to withdraw as counsel. Since Januazy 31,
2008, Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, is pro se.
6. Following the hearing held January 23, 2008, an Order was entered requiring
Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, to answer the outstanding Interrogatories and
Request for Production of Documents which had been served upon his counsel
on or about December 13, 2007. In addition, Robert A. Lebo was required to
sign a release in favor of Petitioner's counsel for release of information from
State Farm and Wachovia Bank. Finally, Robert A. Lebo was directed to submit
to a deposition noticed by Petitioner's counsel. A true and correct copy of the
Order is attached hereto, mazked Exhibit "C", and incorporated herein by
reference.
7. By letter dated Januazy 30, 2008, counsel forwarded to Respondent copies of the
previous Orders, the proposed Releases for State Farm and Wachovia for his
execution as well as a Notice of Deposition requiring Respondent's appeazance
for depositions on February 22, 2008. A true and correct copy of the letter and
enclosures are attached hereto, mazked Exhibit "D" collectively, and incorporated
herein by reference.
8. On February 22, 2008, the pazalegal for Petitioner's counsel took a call from
Esther Lebo, Respondent's mother, indicating that Respondent was ill and that he
could not appeaz in counsel's office for the depositions. Esther Lebo inquired as
to whether the depositions could be rescheduled. Counsel for the Petitioner
agreed that the deposition could be rescheduled.
9. In a second conversation between Esther Lebo and the pazalegal on February 22,
2008, a rescheduled date was proposed to Ms. Lebo for the taking of
Respondent's deposition. At that time, Esther Lebo provided her assurance that
Mr. Lebo would be available on Mazch 6, 2008, at 1:00 p.m., the rescheduled
date and time for the deposition. Confirmation of the rescheduling was
forwarded to Respondent on or about February 22, 2008. A true and correct copy
of the letter and Notice of Deposition is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "E" and
incorporated herein by reference.
10. On March 5, 2008, paralegal for Petitioner's counsel took a call from Esther
Lebo, Respondent's mother, indicating that Respondent could not appear in
counsel's office for the depositions.
11. Following consultation with Petitioner's counsel, the pazalegal returned a call to
Esther Lebo informing her that if Respondent would provide Answers to the
Interrogatories that it may not be necessary for Respondent to appeaz for
purposes of taking his deposition. In addition, counsel's pazalegal suggested that
perhaps the location for the taking of the deposition could be moved closer to
Respondent's home rather than in York as originally scheduled. Esther Lebo was
informed that Respondent either needed to appeaz for a deposition or provide
Answers to the Interrogatories on or before Mazch 15, 2008. She further
indicated to Esther Lebo that if Respondent did not comply, a Petition for Special
Relief/Contempt would be filed with the Court. Esther Lebo ultimately hung up
on the pazalegal. A true and correct copy of the pazalegal's Memo to Petitioner's
counsel outlining the conversation with Esther Lebo is attached hereto, marked
Exhibit "F" and incorporated herein by reference.
12. To date, Petitioner's counsel has not received Answers to the Interrogatories nor
any further communication from Respondent or from Respondent's mother,
Esther Lebo, on his behalf.
13. Petitioner's counsel has not received the executed Authorizations for State Farm
and Wachovia from the Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, as Ordered by the Court.
14. Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, has consistently been uncooperative throughout the
entire divorce proceeding to Petitioner's great detriment not only as it relates to
the dissipation of assets but in the expenditure of counsel fees in connection with
Respondent's conduct. Given Respondent's conduct, Petitioner was required to
previously file with the Court a Petition for Special Relief and a Petition for
Preservation of Assets.
15. Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, is in contempt of Court for his failure to comply
with the terms of the Court's Order dated Januazy 24, 2008.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner/Plaintiff, Alice F. Lebo now Alice F. Swengel prays the
Honorable Court for the following relief:
A. That the Court find Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, in contempt of Court for
his violation of and non-compliance with the terms of the Court's Order of
January 23, 2008;
B. That the Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, be immediately required to appear
before this Honorable Court for purposes of divulging the whereabouts of
the remainder of the proceeds of $122,388.34 withdrawn from his TYCO
401(k) in June of 2007;
C. That the Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, be immediately required to turn
over to Petitioner's counsel, all bank statements and similar
documentation showing the whereabouts of said proceeds and the tracing
of same from the date of withdrawal to the present time;
D. That once the proceeds of the 401(k) are located, that the Court Order that
the proceeds be frozen so as to make it such that Respondent, Robert A.
Lebo, may not alienate, sell, cash in, give, pledge, borrow against or in
any other way adversely affect Petitioner's interest therein under the
Divorce Code;
E. That the Court require Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, to immediately
execute the appropriate Releases/Authorizations for State Farm and
Wachovia Bank;
F. That the Court require Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, to pay counsel fees to
Petitioner's counsel in the amount of $1,000.00 for the preparation and
presentation of the within Petition;
G. That the Court require Respondent, Robert A. Lebo, to pay additional
counsel fees in the amount of $1,000.00 imposed upon him as sanctions
for his contempt of Court;

statement showing said withdrawal is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A," and
incorporated in by reference.
4. In order to try to trace the proceeds of this $122,000 withdraw from the 401(k) done by
Defendant/Respondent/Husband, Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife has served on Husband's
counsel, a Request for Production of Documents and Interrogatories.
EXHIBIT
Defendant/Respondent/Husband has so far failed and refused to produce any documents,
answer any interrogatories and/or give any information that was requested through counsel
as a result of informal discover and requests by letter.
6. Since the 401 {k) account balance of approximately $122,000 was the primary and only real
asset of this marriage, it is absolutely imperative that Plaintiff/Petitioner/Wife learn the
location of said proceeds from the withdrawal of said $122,000 to the extent that any
proceeds still exist and that same be "frozen".
7. Without the relief requested, it is believed that Defendant/Respondent/Husband is likely to
secrete, alienate, spend, give, borrow against and or in some other way deplete whatever is
left of the proceeds so as to deny Plaintiff/Petitioner/Wife access to this marital asset and
any ability to equitably distribute the marital property of these parties.
8. This matter is the subject of a Petition for Preservation of Assets before this Honorable
Court. A Temporary Order was entered into the Court on October 22, 2007. A true and
correct copy of the current order is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B," and incorporated
herein by reference. A hearing in the matter relative to a permanent Order is scheduled for
January 23, 2008. It should also be noted that the withdrawal by
Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo in, June, 2007, was before entry of the
Temporary Order and not after, and, therefore, is not able to be dealt with by a contempt
action.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner/Plaintiff/~Wife, Alice F. Lebo prays the Honorable Court for the
following relief:
A. That the Court order the Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo to
divulge the whereabouts of whatever is left of the proceeds of $122,388.34,
withdrawn from his TYCO 401(k) in June, 2007;
B. That the Court order the Respondent/DefendantlHusband, Robert A. Lebo, to turn
over to Plaintiff s counsel, all bank statements and similar documentation showing
the whereabouts of said proceeds and the tracing of same from the withdrawal to
their present location;
C. That the Court order the Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo, to have
his accounts in whatever form in which the remaining proceeds of the said
$122,388.34 withdrawal is currently contained, to be frozen so as to make it such
that he may not alienate, sell, cash in, give, pledge, borrow against or in any other
way adversely affect Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife's interest therein under the Divorce
Code;
D. That the Court order Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo, to fully
comply with the discovery requests filed byPetitioner/Plaintiff/Wife and to answer
all such Interrogatories and furnish all such documents requested within thirty (30)
days or suffer sanctions without further Order of Court, such sanctions including
but not limited to payment of attorney's fees;
E. That the Court direct Respondent/Defendant/Husband, Robert A. Lebo, to pay to
counsel for Petitioner/Plaintiff/Wife, the sum of $1,000 in attorney's fees for
bringing this Petition as well as the Petition for Preservation of Assets along with
ongoing attorney's fees thereafter;
F. Such other relief as maybe deemed appropriat~.anji necessary.

This letter will serve to confirm the conversations I had with your mother, Esther
Lebo, this date. It is our understanding that you are currently experiencing some health
problems that precluded your attendance at the deposition this date. In addition, there
was a great deal of uncertainty with regard to impending winter weather which may have
made travel difficult. Accordingly, Attorney Menges agreed to a rescheduling of the
depositions. Your deposition will now occur and be taken on Thursday, March 6, 2008,
at 1:00 p.m. in our York office. I understand from your mother that your schedule is
open for that date.

MEMO
TO: NCM
FROM: BAK
RE: Lebo/Swengel
DATE: 03/05/08
As per your instruction, I called Esther Lebo back. I informed her that if
Mr. Lebo would answer the Interrogatories that were.served upon him back in October or
November of 2007, that you may not even need to take Mr. Lebo's deposition. I
informed her that the answers to the Interrogatories were long overdue as Mr. Lebo had
thirty (30) days to respond to them following his receipt of them. I further communicated
to her that perhaps Mr. Lebo's deposition could be taken at a location closer to his home
rather than in York. She offered no response. I told her that Mr. Lebo either needed to
appear for a deposition or provide answers to the Interrogatories on or before March
15th. If he did not comply, I informed her that you would be filing a Petition for
Contempt with the Court. She attempted to engage me in an argument as to the history of
this case, her son's medical condition, the interrogatories, the deposition, etc. Since she
was argumentative, I somewhat cut her short, reiterated your offer of the deposition
and/or answers before March 15th or contempt was going to be filed. She hung up on me.
Her number is 243-6269

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
ROBERT A LEBO,
Defendant 07-5488 CIVIL TERM
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 18th day of December, 2008, upon
consideration of Plaintiff's Petition for Special Relief and
following a hearing held on this date, the Court finds that the
Defendant has intentionally, voluntarily, and willfully failed to
comply with the terms of the Order of Court dated January 24, 2008,
and he is consequently adjudicated in contempt.
The Defendant is sentenced to undergo imprisonment in
the Cumberland County Prison for a period of 4 months. The
condition of purge with respect to this sentence is that the
Defendant within 20 days of today's date serve upon Plaintiff's
counsel, without objection, the following: (a) answers to
Plaintiff's outstanding interrogatories and copies of the documents
requested in Plaintiff's outstanding request for production of
documents, in verified form in accordance with the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure, (b) a release authorizing and directing
State Farm Insurance Company to release any information requested
by Plaintiff's counsel regarding any life insurance policies issued
on the Plaintiff's life; and (c) a release authorizing and
directing Wachovia Bank to release any information requested by
Plaintiff's counsel regarding any account of Defendant, including
any certificate of deposit, at the said bank, for the period from
June 1, 2007, to the present.
In addition, the Defendant is directed to pay to
Plaintiff as reimbursement for attorney's fees associated with the
present Petition the sum of $1,000 within 30 days of today's date.
Since the condition of purge with respect to the
Defendant's sentence of imprisonment can be complied with within a
period of 20 days from today's date, commencement of service of the
period of imprisonment provided for herein shall be on Thursday,
January 22, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. at which time the Defendant is
directed to present himself in Courtroom No. 1, Cumberland County
Courthouse, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, without further order of Court
for the purposes of commitment of sentence. In the event that
Plaintiff's counsel has notified the Court by a formal filing that
the Defendant has met the conditions of purge herein by that date,
the Defendant need not appear.

PETITION FOR SPECL~I, RELIEF AND/OR FOR INTERVENOR
~+
AND NOW, TO WIT, this day of ~~~\~~~~ , 200 ,comes the
Plaintiff, ALICE F. LEBO now ALICE F. SWENGEL, by and through her attorney, N.
Christopher Menges, Esquire, his attorney, and files this Petition, whereof the following is a
statement:
1. ALICE F. LEBO now ALICE F. SWENGEL is the Plaintiff (hereinafter
referred to as "Wife") in the above-captioned action.
2. ROBERT A. LEBO is the Defendant (hereinafter referred to as "Husband") in
the above-captioned action.
3. The parties were married on November 21, 2003, and Plaintiff/Wife filed a
Complaint in Divorce on September 17, 2007.
4. Plaintiff/Wife filed a Petition for Preservation of Assets with the Court on
October 18, 2007, alleging that the parties' marital estate consisted virtually only of
Defendant/Husband's 401(k) account.
5. On October 22, 2007, the Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr., Judge, entered an Order
barring Defendant/Husband from in any way depreciating, transferring, reclassifying or
tampering in any way with the value, type or substance of his 401(k) Plan. Defendant/Husband
was directed to provide an immediate accounting of all funds Defendant/Husband removed from
the account. Lastly, the Court directed that Defendant/Husband's 401(k) account be frozen and
withdrawals by Defendant/Husband or anyone on Husband's behalf be prohibited.
6. Plaintiff/Wife later learned that Defendant/Husband withdrew the entire proceeds
of his 401(k) Plan in the amount of $122,854.38 sometime during the month of June, 2007.
7. Plaintiff/Wife filed a Petition for Special Relief on January 9, 2008, seeking an
Order directing Defendant/Husband to answer outstanding discovery requests, including
disclosure of the whereabouts of the funds withdrawn by DefendantlHusband from the 401(k)
account.
8. On January 24, 2008, following a hearing on Plaintiff/Wife's Petition for Special
Relief, an Order was entered by the Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr., Judge, directing
Defendant/Husband to answer all outstanding discovery requests, execute appropriate releases
authorizing Plaintiff/Wife's counsel to obtain additional information and submit himself for
purposes of the taking of his deposition.
9. On August 13, 2008, Plaintiff/Wife filed with the Court a Petition for Contempt
and Sanctions due to Defendant/Husband's failure to comply with the Court's Order of January
24, 2008, and as a result a hearing was scheduled.
10. A hearing was conducted by the Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr., on December 18,
2008.
11. At the time of the hearing, Defendant/Husband admitted that he gave to his
mother, Esther Lebo, the sum of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($50,000.00) Dollars from the
proceeds of his 401(k) account and that said proceeds were used by Esther Lebo to pay down the
outstanding mortgage on her home located at 16 Valley Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
12. Under the Pennsylvania Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (12 Pa.C.S. § 5101 et
seq), Esther Lebo's receipt of the sum of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($50,000.00) Dollars,
fraudulently given to her by Defendant/Husband, when said funds were a part of the marital
estate, is a fraudulent transfer.
13. Under the Pennsylvania Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, a transferee of a
fraudulent transfer can be sued and/or joined as a party.
14. Under the Divorce Code, the Divorce Court has broad powers of equity injoining
a party as a defendant.
15. Under the Pennsylvania Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Defendant/Husband
has been rendered insolvent, thus making the transfer fraudulent and, as a result, Plaintiff/Wife is
entitled to the transfer being set aside and/or a lien and/or execution against the transferee's real
property located at 16 Valley Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, said real estate being currently titled
in the name of Esther Lebo.
16. In order to address Defendant/Husband's gift to his mother, Esther Lebo, of said
marital funds, and in order to try to retrieve said marital funds from Esther Lebo,
Defendant/Husband's Mother, it is requested that Esther Lebo be joined as an intervenor.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Wife, Alice F. Lebo now Alice F. Swengel, requests this
Honorable Court join Esther Lebo as an Intervenor with regard to the above captioned action;
and, further, that this action be listed in the lis pendens against Esther Lebo and against her real
estate at 16 Valley Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, as a lis pendens.

Defendant DIVORCE
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO REQUEST ENTRY
OF §3301(d) DIVORCE DECREE
TO: Robert A. Lebo
(Defendant)
16 Valley Street
Carlisle, PA 17013
You have been sued in an action for divorce. You have failed to answer the complaint or file a
counter-affidavit to the §3301(d) affidavit. Therefore, on or after January 6, 2010, the other party can
request the court to enter a final decree in divorce.
If you do not file with the Prothonotary of the court an answer with your signature notarized or
verified or acounter-affidavit by the above date, the court can enter a final decree in divorce. A counter-
affidavit which you may file with the Prothonotary of the court is attached to this notice.
Unless you have already filed with the court a written claim or economic relief, you must do so by
the above date or the court may grant the divorce and you will lose forever the right to ask for economic
relief. The filing of the form counter-affidavit alone does not protect your economic claims.
YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS PAPER TO YOUR LAWYER AT ONCE.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LAWYER OR CANNOT AFFORD ONE, GO TO OR
TELEPHONE THE OFFICE SET FORTH BELOW TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU
CAN GET LEGAL HELP.
