IN DIVORCE
,Y RELIEF - EXCLUSIV
HOME AND REIMBURS
1. The parties hereto are Husband and Wife having been joined in marriage on
November 23, 1996.
2. The parties separated in November 2007, when Respondent left the marital
home and established a residence for her at 1818 West Highland Street, Allentown,
Pennsylvania.
3. Respondent is represented by Jeffrey R. Boyd, Esquire of Boyd & Karver, 17
East Philadelphia Avenue, Boyertown, Pennsylvania 19512, although Mr. Boyd has not
entered an appearance in the divorce.
4. Upon information and belief, Respondent is employed at an adult club and is
involved with controlled substances.
5. For a couple of hours every three (3) weeks or so, Respondent has been
SAMIS,
LINDSAY
nrtom.?vsnrtww

Carlisle, PA
returning to the marital home to see the parties' child, Walter William Braithwaite, born
December 19, 2000. Petitioner has permitted the return as a safer alternative to
Respondent taking the child away from the Carlisle area.
6. When Petitioner returns to the marital home, however, she behaves in an
erratic, violent way in front of the child; breaking items, screaming, causing the child to cry
and causing the State Police to be called.
7. Specifically, on or about May 22, 2008, State Police were called and removed
Respondent from the martial home.
8. On October 20, 2008, once again, Respondent came to the martial home to
see the parties' child and, before the Petitioner returned home at 6:00 PM, had downloaded
Petitioner's emails and forwarded them to her boyfriend. When Petitioner objected, she
became argumentative, screamed at the parties' child that she "hates his guts", smashed a
candle holder against the wall in the garage causing the parties' son to be upset, and to call
his grandparents for help. Once again, the State Police were called. Before they arrived,
Respondent fled the marital home.
9. Petitioner believes and therefore avers that he and his son require the
peaceful and use of the home pending equitable distribution.
10. In early November 2008, Petitioner received a statement on his business
basic checking account which account was opened subsequent to the parties' separation in
November 2007. The statement revealed that on or about October 2, 2008, Respondent,
while visiting in the marital home, accessed Petitioner's ATM card and use the information
thereon to make several charges in the course of October 2008. The charges are
highlighted in yellow on Exhibit "A", attached hereto, and include, on October 20, 2008, a
payment to Respondent's attorney.
11. Immediately upon notice of the theft, Respondent had his business basic
checking account ATM card and password changed, but not before Respondent had
charged purchases of clothing totaling $1,376.05.
12. Petitioner avers that Respondent was absolutely not privileged to access his
SAIDIS,
FLOWER &
LINDSAY
A770SNEY -Aitww
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA
business account and that such an access is a theft by deception.
13. The local police are unwilling to prosecute the case since the parties are
engaged in divorce litigation, but Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to order the
Respondent to reimburse him for the charges she made using his account information.
14. Counsel for Respondent disagrees with the Relief requested.
15. No Judge has been assigned to this case.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court to issue a Rule upon
Respondent to show cause as to why Petitioner should not have exclusive possession of the
marital home and why Respondent should not be required to reimburse him in the amount of
$1,345.75 for unauthorized use of his ATM card.

discharged by Husband pursuant the Bankruptcy Code. It will however be a debt of his estate in
the event of Husband's death.
2: Wife will pay to Husband $1,000.00 within thirty (30) days of the date of this
Agreement.
Each party shall pay the outstanding joint debts as set forth herein and further agrees to

of them by reason of such debts or obligations.

debt since the date of separation on November 1, 2007, the party who incurred said debt shall be
responsible for the payment thereof regardless of the name in which the debt may have been

C: Future Debt: From the date of this Agreement, neither party shall contract or

demands made against him or her by reason of debts or obligations incurred by the other party.

a 2005 Buick LaCrosse encumbered by a lien in favor of M and T Bank. The vehicle is actually
titled in the name of Husband's father and the loan is in his name. Wife will make all payments on
account of the loan to purchase the Buick LaCrosse in a timely manner and, upon payment of the
loan in full, Husband's father will execute the title transferring to Wife all of his interest in the 2005
Buick LaCrosse and any other documents necessary to have the vehicle properly registered in
Wife's name with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Wife will hold harmless and
indemnify Husband and his father from any loss thereon.
(6) TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY: The parties hereto mutually agree that they
will effect a satisfactory division of the furniture, household furnishings, appliances, tools and other
household personal property between them, so that each of them receives 50% of the value of
those furnishings, and they mutually agree that each party shall from and after the date of that
division shall be the sole and separate owner of all such property presently in his or her
possession whether said property was heretofore owned jointly or individually by the parties
hereto. This Agreement shall have the effect of an assignment or bill of sale from each party to
the other for such property as they may retain after the division set out herein.
(7) INTANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY: Each party hereby relinquishes any right,
title or interest he or she may have in or to any intangible personal property currently titled in the
4
name of or in the possession of the other party, including, but not limited to, stocks, bonds,
insurance, bank accounts, individual retirement accounts, employment benefits including
retirement accounts, savings plans, pension plans, stock plans, 401 K plans and the like.

physical custody at the following times:
(a) On alternating weekends from Friday at 6:00 PM until Sunday at 6:00 PM
(b) On the alternating holidays of New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of
July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving, commencing in 2009 with Mother having custody of the
child on New Year's Day. Time with the child on the holidays set out shall be from 9:00
AM until 8:00 PM;
(c) On alternating Christmas holidays from noon on Christmas Eve until 8:00
PM on Christmas Day, commencing in 2009 when Mother will have custody over the
Christmas holiday;
(d) For one month without interruption during the summer during which time
either party may travel out of the United States with the child so long as the other party
agrees in writing.
(e) Wife will provide transportation for all periods of partial custody.
The terms of this Custody Agreement can be modified as the parties can agree and, in the
event that they cannot agree, either party may seek modification through a Petition to the Court of
Common Pleas of Cumberland County. The child's passport shall be kept by Father, but provided
to Mother in the event that the child will be traveling overseas.
5
(9) CHILD SUPPORT: The parties hereby waive their right to child support
understanding that such an agreement may be unenforceable by the courts.
(10) ALIMONY: Husband will pay to Wife Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) per month
for a period of thirty (30) months commencing the first day of January, 2009 and continuing on
the first day of each subsequent month. Said payment is made as assistance to Wife with her
automobile payment and shall be taxable to her and deductible to Husband. Until the vehicle
loan is paid off, Husband will make the $300. per month payment directly to the lender on
Wife's behalf.
Alimony will terminate upon the occurrence of one of the following:
1. The death of Wife;
2. The death of Husband;
3. The completion of the 30 month payments; or
4. In the event Wife becomes delinquent on her car payment by 45 days or
more; or
5. In the event that Wife fails to pay to Husband the $1,000.00 owed to him
according to the terms of paragraph (4) above.
The parties acknowledge that they know one another's Social Security Number.
Alimony payments shall be deductible from Husband's gross income for the purpose of filing
federal income tax returns and includible in Wife's gross income for the same purpose.
The alimony payment set out herein shall be payable to the Office of Domestic Relations
of Cumberland County or the Office of Domestic Relations of a county having jurisdiction over
Husband. Enforcement shall be by attachment of Husband's wages. In the event that an
overpayment in the amount of alimony is made, Wife will refund said overpayment to Husband
6
within ten days of receipt and notice of its payment in error.

notified of his or her right to consult with counsel of his or her choice, and have been provided a

request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party any and all further
instruments that may be reasonably required to give full force and effect to the provisions of this

assessment and any interest, penalty and expense incurred in connection therewith. Such tax,
interest, penalty or expense shall be paid solely and entirely by the individual who is finally
determined to be the cause of the misrepresentations or failures to disclose the nature and extent
7
of his or her separate income on the aforesaid joint returns.
(14) BANKRUPTCY: The parties hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement
