HUSBAND and WIFE declare that they have each had a full and fair opportunity to
obtain independent legal advice of counsel of their selection. WIFE has been independently
represented by Barbara Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire. HUSBAND has been previously represented
in this matter by Carl G. Wass, Esquire and has consulted with John J. Connelly, Jr., Esquire in
regard to the terms of this Agreement. HUSBAND has chosen instead to negotiate directly with
counsel and/or with his WIFE. HUSBAND hereby acknowledges that he has done so willingly
and that he fully understands the facts and has been fully informed and understands that, had a
Court decided this matter, he may have received more or less than is provided for in this
Agreement. HUSBAND knowingly waives his rights, if any, to utilize the lack of his legal
representation as a basis to attack the validity of this Agreement. Each party further declares that
they are executing this Agreement freely and voluntarily, having obtained such knowledge and
disclosure of their legal rights and obligations. Each party acknowledges that this Agreement is
04/23/2002
fair and equitable and is not the result of any fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence or
collusion.
2. PERSONAL RIGHTS
HUSBAND and WIFE may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. Each
shall be free from all control, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other in

provisions of this Agreement. Each may reside at such place or places as she or he may select.
Each may, for his or her separate use or benefit, conduct, carry on and engage in any business,
occupation, profession or employment which to him or her may seem advisable. This provision
shall not be taken, however, to be an admission on the part of either HUSBAND or WIFE of the
lawfulness of the causes which led to, or resulted in, the continuation of their living apart.
HUSBAND and WIFE shall not molest, harass, or malign the other or the respective families of
each other, nor compel the other to cohabit or dwell in any manner with him or her, nor in any
way interfere with the peaceful existence, separate from each other.

04/23/2002
means of discovery available through the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. The parties
acknowledge that they have had the right to have property fully appraised. Each party is fully
satisfied that no additional information is necessary for the execution of this Agreement.

upon the granting of a Divorce Decree to either party by the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin
County, Pennsylvania, or any other Court of competent jurisdiction. This Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect even if the parties reconcile, cohabit as HUSBAND and WIFE, or
attempt a reconciliation. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and there shall
not be a modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof unless the parties, in a writing signed
by both parties, execute a statement declaring this Agreement or any term of this Agreement to
04/23/2002 4
be null and void. Both parties hereto agree that this Agreement may be incorporated by
reference but shall not be deemed merged into any judgment or decree for divorce obtained by
either party.
6. OTHER DOCUMENTATION
HUSBAND and WIFE covenant and agree that upon request of the other party, they will
forthwith execute and deliver to the other party, any and all written instruments, assignments,
releases, satisfactions, deeds, notes or such other writings as may be necessary or desirable for
the proper effectuation of this Agreement.

other rights of a surviving spouse to participate in a deceased spouse's estate, whether arising
under the laws of Pennsylvania, any state, commonwealth or territory or the United States, or
any other country. It is expressly understood, however, that neither the provisions of this release
nor the subsequent entry of a divorce decree are intended to defeat the right of either party to
receive any insurance proceeds at the death of the other of which she or he is the named
beneficiary (whether the beneficiary designation was made prior or subsequent to execution
hereof), nor to defeat the right of either party to receive any legacy, bequest or residuary portion
of the other's estate under his or her will, or to act as personal representative or executor if so
named by the will of the other, whether such will was executed prior or subsequent to this
Agreement.

to have, and except for the obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement and such rights
as are expressly reserved herein, each party gives to the other by the execution of this Agreement
an absolute and unconditional release and discharge from all causes of action, claims, rights or
demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, which either party ever had or now has against the
other.

and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

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 the provisions of this
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar
nature, nor shall such failure be construed as a waiver of any other term, condition, clause or
provision of this Agreement.
12. BREACH
If either party breaches any provision of this Agreement, the other party shall have the
right, at his or her election, to sue for damages for such breach or seek such other remedies or
relief as may be available to him or her, and the party breaching this contract shall be responsible

Plaintiff
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
03-6256 CIVIL ACTION LAW
IN CUSTODY
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Benjamin M. Gill November 6, 2000 Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on April 3, 2008, with the following individuals
in attendance: the Father, Kent M. Gill, with his counsel, P. Richard Wagner, Esquire, and the Mother,
Anne M. Johnson, with her counsel, Barbara Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire.
3. This Court previously entered an Order in this matter under which the Mother has primary
physical custody of the Child and the Father has substantial periods of partial custody. Following the
most recent custody conciliation conference, the parties obtained a custody evaluation from Deborah
Salem as the Father was requesting equally shared custody and the Mother requested a continued
primary arrangement.
4. The parties were not able to reach an agreement as to ongoing custody arrangements for the
Child, despite the assistance of the evaluator's written custody recommendations, and therefore, it will
be necessary to schedule a hearing in this matter.
5. The Father's position on custody is as follows: the Father believes it would be best for the
Child to spend equal time with both parents. The Father also would like the opportunity to enroll the
Child in activities in the Father's area of residence so that the Child can make friends and contacts
when at his residence as well.
6. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: the Mother believes that the current primary
custodial arrangement has worked well for the Child and does not believe there is a reason to alter it at
this time.
7. The parties acknowledged having significant problems in communicating with each other
and that their parenting effectiveness is suffering as a result. The parties were very receptive to the
possibility of participating in co-parenting counseling to address that issue. However, when it became
evident that a hearing would be necessary, it was determined that the co-parenting counseling would be
most effective following resolution by the Court. Therefore, it is recommended that the Court address
the issue of co-parenting counseling as part of the determination on the custodial issues.
8. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing in this
matter. It is anticipated that the hearing will require at least one-half day.
