DISCUSSION
A dependent spouse is entitled to support until it is proven that conduct on the part
of the dependent spouse constitutes grounds for a fault divorce. Crawford v. Crawford,
633 A.2d 155 (Pa. Super. 1993). However, where a dependent spouse voluntarily and
without the consent of his/her spouse vacates the marital residence, the dependent spouse has
the burden of proving that his/her spouse's conduct constituted adequate legal cause to justify
the departure from the home. McKolanis v. McKolanis, 644 A.2d 1256 (Pa. Super. 1994).
The Wife left the marital residence on September 5, 2007 after being told by her
husband that he was no longer in love with her. The departure was not, however, without the
consent of the Husband. Although he told her that she did not have to leave that night, it was
clear by the Husband's conduct that he consented to the separation. Within a few days of his
Wife's departure he notified her of the cost of a no-fault divorce, and within a week of the
departure he had changed the locks on the marital home. Within two months his "girlfriend"
was residing with him in the home. Consequently the holding in McKolanis, supra. does not
apply to the facts of this case. Because no conduct on the part of the Wife establishes
grounds for a fault divorce, she is entitled to an award of spousal support.
The Wife has income from two sources. She receives social security disability
benefits of $1,073.70 per month and a monthly pension of $452.12 per month. With this
gross income and a tax filing status of married/separate, the Wife has net monthly income for
support purposes of $1,512.00.'
The Husband has average gross monthly income of $4,296.00. Filing his federal
income tax return as married/separate, he has net monthly income for support purposes of
$3,195.00.2
With no minor children, the spousal support obligation of the Husband is 40% of the
difference of their net monthly incomes,3 or $673.00 per month.4
The Husband pays health insurance coverage on himself and his wife through his
employment, but the cost does not exceed what he would pay for himself alone.s
Consequently no adjustment to the order will be made.
Because an award of spousal support is being entered, the claim for alimony pendente
lite is moot.6
' See Exhibit "A" for the tax deductions from gross income.

6 See Pa. R.C.P. 1910.16-1(c).

RECOMMENDATION
A. The Husband shall pay to the Pennsylvania State Collection and Disbursement Unit
as spousal support the sum of $673.00 per month.
B. The Husband shall pay to the Pennsylvania State Collection and Disbursement Unit
the additional sum of $22.00 per month on arrearages.
C. The Husband shall provide health insurance coverage for the benefit of his wife as
provided through employment or other group coverage at a reasonable cost.
D. The effective date of the order is September 28, 2007.
E. The Wife's claim for alimony pendente lite is dismissed because of the award of
spousal support.

7. The Alternate Payee's award will be calculated as of the date of the Property
Settlement Agreement. The date of the Property Settlement Agreement shall hereinafter be
referred to as the "Valuation Date," with said date being February 23, 2011.
8. The Alternate Payee's interest in the Plan shall be $20,000.00 of the Participant total
vested account balance under the Plan as of the Valuation Date.

DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER
Based upon the entry of a Divorce Decree, a copy of which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A," of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland

Payee's right to receive a portion of the Participant's benefit payable under an employer-
sponsored defined benefit pension plan that is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 as amended ("BRISA"). It is intended to constitute a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order ("QDRO") under section 414(p) of the Code and Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA.
2. The Plan Name and Plan Administrator. The name of the Plan to which this Order
applies is the Ahold USA, Inc. Frozen Pension Plan. Further, any successor plan to the Plan or
other plan(s), to which liability for a provision of the Participant's benefits described below is
incurred, shall also be subject to the terms of this Order. Also, any benefits accrued by the
Participant under a predecessor plan of the employer or any other defined benefit plan sponsored
by the Participant's employer, where liability for benefits accrued under the such predecessor
plan or other defined benefit plan has been transferred to the Plan, shall also be subject to the
terms of this Order. The Plan Administrator is the Plan Committee for the Ahold USA, Inc.
Frozen Pension Plan. All correspondence relating to the qualification of this Order under ERISA
and the Code should be sent to the following address:
Emily Mao

414(p)(5) of the Code and Section 206(d)(3)(F) of ERISA) for purposes of receiving death
benefits payable to a surviving spouse under the terms of the Plan to the extent necessary to

other benefit.
10. Payments. If for any reason the Plan fails to make the payments required to the
Alternate Payee pursuant to this Order and makes the full payment to the Participant, it is the
Participant's obligation, and he or she hereby agrees to make sure payment to the Alternate
Payee, and to so notify the Plan Administrator of the error, and to continue to make the required
payments to the Alternate Payee until such time as the administrative error is corrected. If the
Participant fails to notify the Plan Administrator or fails to make the payments necessary to the
Alternate Payee, the Participant hereby authorizes the Plan Administrator to withhold future
payments from the Plan until such time as the amounts owed to the Alternate Payee are
recouped.
11. Savings Clause. This Order is not intended and shall not be administered to require
the Plan to provide any benefit, any form of benefit, or any other option that is not otherwise
provided for under the terms of the Plan. Nor is this Order intended and shall not be
administered to require the Plan to provide increased benefits, determined on an actuarial
equivalency basis. Nor shall this Order require the payment of benefits to the Alternate Payee
that are required to be paid to another alternate payee under the terms of a qualified domestic
relations order previously submitted to the Plan Administrator and determined to be a qualified
domestic relations order. This Order is not intended and shall not be administered to violate the
terms of ERISA, the Code and, any other applicable statute or regulations.
12. Certification of Necessary Information. All payments made pursuant to this Order
shall be conditioned on the certification by the Alternate Payee and the Participant to the Plan
Administrator of such information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably require from such
parties to make necessary calculation of the benefit amounts contained herein.
13. Continued Qualified Status of Order. It is the intention of the parties that this QDRO
continue to qualify as a QDRO under the Code and ERISA, and that the Plan Administrator shall
reserve the right to reconfirm the qualified status of the Order at the time benefits become
payable hereunder.
14. Tax Treatment of Distributions Made Under This Order. For purposes of Section
402(a) and Section 72(t) of the Code, any Alternate Payee who is the spouse or former spouse of
the Participant shall be treated as the recipient of any distribution or payments made to the
Alternate Payee under the terms of this Order, and as such, will be required to pay the
appropriate income taxes on such distribution.
15. Continued Jurisdiction: In the event that this Order is held not to be a qualified
domestic relations order within the meaning of applicable law and the Plan, this Court retains
jurisdiction over this matter and the parties agree to request this Court to modify this Order so
that it does comply with all relevant provisions of law.
16. Effect of Plan Termination. In the event that the Plan is terminated, whether on a
voluntary or involuntary basis, and the Participant's benefits become guaranteed by the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), the Alternate Payee's benefits, as stipulated herein,
shall also be guaranteed to the same extent in accordance with the Plan's termination rules and
the same ratio as the Participant's benefits are guaranteed by the PBGC.
17. Fees. The Plan, its sponsor, contributing employer, fiduciaries and administrators
shall not be responsible for any costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by the
Participant or Alternate Payee in connection with obtaining or enforcing a determination that this
Order is a QDRO.

the other in enforcing their rights hereunder, or to seek such other remedies or relief as may be
available to him or her.
21. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION:
It is specifically understood and agreed that this Agreement constitutes an equitable
distribution of property, both real and personal, which was legally and beneficially acquired by
Husband and Wife or either of them during the marriage as contemplated by The Act of
December 19, 1990 (P.L. No. 1240, No. 206) known as "The Divorce Code," 23 P.S. 3501 et
seq. of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and as amended.
22. SUMMARY OF EFFECT OF AGREEMENT:
It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto, and each party
accepts the provisions herein made in lieu of and in full settlement and satisfaction of any and all
of said parties' rights against the other for any past, present and future claims on account of
support, maintenance, alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs and expenses,
equitable distribution of marital property and any other claims of each party, including all claims
raised by them in the divorce action pending between the parties.
23. TAX CONSEQUENCES:
By this agreement, the parties have intended to effectuate and have equitably divided
their marital property. The parties have determined that such equitable division conforms to a
right and just standard with regard to the rights of each party. The division of existing marital
property is not, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, intended by the parties to
constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets and the division is being effected without the
introduction of outside funds of other property not constituting a part of the marital estate.

Each party shall, at any time and from time to time hereafter, take any and all steps and
execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other party any and all further instruments and/or
documents that the other party may reasonably require for the purpose of giving full force and
effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
25. RECONCILIATION:
The parties shall only effect a legal reconciliation which supersedes this agreement by
their signed agreement containing a specific statement that they have reconciled and that this
agreement shall be null and void; otherwise, this agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Further, the parties may attempt a reconciliation, which action, if not consummated by the
aforesaid agreement, shall not affect in any way the legal effect or this agreement or cause any
new marital rights or obligations to accrue.
26. SEVERABILITY:
The parties agree that the separate obligations contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be interdependent. If any term, clause, or provision of this Agreement shall be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the parties
agree that the Agreement may be reviewed and renegotiated in order to fulfill as closely as
possible the purpose of the invalid provision. Notwithstanding any release contained herein, the
parties intend that they may reinstate any and all economic claims to the extent available under
the Divorce Code of 1980. Further, any court of competent jurisdiction may, under the equitable
provisions and purposes of the Divorce Code, reinstate any economic claim which was available
at the time of the parties' separation or avoid any waiver herein contained to renegotiate or
effectuate as nearly as possible the purpose of the unenforceable provision.
27. NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT:
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until terminated under
and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon strict
performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect the right of such
party hereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any breach of any provision hereof be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature, nor shall it be
construed as a waiver of strict performance of any other obligations herein.
28. INTEGRATION:
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes any
and all prior agreements and negotiations between them. There are no representations or
warranties other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement shall survive integration
by any court into any judgment for divorce and shall continue to have independent legal
significance as written contract separate from such judgment for divorce and may be enforced as
an independent contract.
29. EFFECT OF DIVORCE DECREE:
The parties agree that unless otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect after such time as a final decree in divorce may be entered with
respect to the parties.
30. NOTICES:
Any and all notices given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent registered mail,
return receipt requested:

31. WAIVER OR MODIFICATION TO BE IN WRITING:
No modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by both parties and no waiver of any breach hereof or default hereunder shall be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature.
32. CAPTIONS:
The captions of this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for
reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope and intent of this Agreement, nor in
any way effect this Agreement.

their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

referred to as the "Valuation Date," with said date being February 23, 2011.
8. The Alternate Payee's interest in the Plan shall be $20,000.00 of the Participant total
vested account balance under the Plan as of the Valuation Date.
9. The Alternate Payee's award is entitled to earnings (dividends, interest, gains, and

other Party. In the event that the Plan Administrator inadvertently pays to the Participant any
benefits that are assigned to the Alternate Payee pursuant to the terms of this Order, the

Payee who is the spouse or former spouse of the Participant will be treated as the recipient of any
distributions or payments made to the Alternate Payee under the terms of this Order, and as such,
