CHRISTOPHER L. DOVE, NO. 07-6752 CIVIL TERM
Defendant IN DIVORCE
PETITION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
AND NOW, comes Petitioner, Janet L. Dove, by and through her counsel of
record, Bradley L. Griffie, Esquire and the law firm of Griffie & Associates, and petitions
the Court as follows:
1. Your Petitioner is the above named Plaintiff, Janet L. Dove, an adult individual
currently residing at 505 North Pitt Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
2. Your Respondent is the above named Defendant, Christopher L. Dove, an adult
individual currently believed to be residing at 803 Gardner Drive, Alpharatta,
Georgia, and who is represented in these proceedings by Sean M. Shultz, Esquire
of 11 Roadway Drive, Suite B, Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
3. The Respondent herein was employed with the Federal Government during the
parties' marriage and established a substantial benefit through the Civil Service
Retirement System (CSRS) and created substantial savings in the Thrift Savings
Plan (TSP) with the Federal Government.
4. The CSRS and TSP funds are the principal assets to be distributed in equitable
distribution in the instant proceedings.
5. At the time of the parties' separation in the Fall of 2007, Respondent voluntarily
left his employment with the New Cumberland Navy Depot and began receiving
pay based upon his accumulated sick leave.
6. Respondent has advised Petitioner that he has exhausted his accumulated sick
leave and is now securing pay through his accumulated personal leave.
7. Respondent has advised Petitioner that when his personal leave is exhausted,
which Petitioner anticipates will be by mid-September, 2008, he intends to
exhaust his TSP funds.
8. The TSP funds are marital assets.
9. If Respondent is permitted to exhaust his TSP funds, a substantial asset that
should be available for a percentage distribution to Petitioner will be unavailable
and there will be no means by which that marital asset can be replaced.
10. To the best of Petitioner's knowledge and belief, Respondent simply has chosen
not to be employed in any capacity and, rather, has chosen to exhaust his sick
and personal leave, and ultimately intends to exhaust marital assets, such as the
TSP, rather than secure employment.
11. Petitioner will be irreparably harmed if Respondent is permitted to use his TSP
funds.
12. Petitioner has sought the consent of counsel for Respondent and Respondent and
has been advised that they do not concur in this request.
13. There have been no prior proceedings before the Court in these matters and,
therefore, there is no Judge assigned to this case, nor has any Judge engaged in
any legal determinations in this matter.
A,
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests your Honorable Court to issue a Rule upon
Respondent to show cause, if any he has, as to why he should not be enjoined from
withdrawing funds from his TSP or his CSRS plan until such time as this divorce matter,
including equitable distribution, is resolved appropriately apportioning those two funds,
as well as other relief as the Court deems just and proper.

standard of living of the parties established during their marriage; the economic circumstances of

property is to become effective; and whether the parties will be serving as the custodian of any
dependent minor children.

outside funds or other property not constituting marital property. The division of property under

benefit for the Alternate Payee which is required to be paid to another Alternate
Payee under another Order previously determined to be a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order. Any provisions of this Order which appear to be otherwise shall
be null and void and have no effect. Alternate Payee's rights to receive benefits

Participant and the Alternate Payee of such a determination. Until such time as a
determination has been made, the United States Office of Personnel Management

Code and Section 206(d)(3)(h) of ERISA. If the United States Office of
Personnel Management determines that this Order is not a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order, then they shall notify the Participant and Alternate Payee of such
determination and reason therefore, allowing for an amended Qualified Domestic
Relations Order to be filed.
21. In the event that any provision of this Order prevents this Order from qualifying
under the requirements of the Plan for the division and transfer of the retirement
annuity of Participant pursuant to federal law, the parties shall cooperate in
having this Order modified to meet the requirements of the Plan consistent with
the intent of this Order, said modifications, if any, to be entered nunc pro tunc.

increased to 55% and that 60% limit is increased to 65% if the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the State, you may
deduct a fee for administrative costs. The support amount and the fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section.
Arrears greater than 12 weeks : If the Order Information does not indicate whether the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then the
employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage. For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts
allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal employers who receive a State order, you may not withhold more than the lesser of
the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which the employer is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the
CCPA (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)). Depending upon applicable State law, you may need to take into consideration the amounts paid for health
care premiums in determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits.
