separated since on or about May 1, 2008, which Affidavit was filed on May 28, 2010
and served on or about June 10, 2010.
5. Respondent has not denied the parties separated on or about May 1, 2008.
6. Respondent has not denied, through any pleadings or proceedings, that the parties'
marriage is irretrievably broken now that they have been separated for in excess of
two (2) years.
7. The parties have substantial liquid assets and real estate, including rental real estate,

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this day of , 2008, and is by and
between:
PATRICIA S. FARRELL, hereinafter referred to as "Wife"; and
BERNARD C. FARRELL, hereinafter referred to as "Husband."
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Husband and Wife are married and are the owners and operators of a corporation
that operates veterinary medical facilities in Pennsylvania. They have reached agreement for temporary
financial arrangements with regard to that business and the financial support of Wife and want to have that
agreement reduced to writing for their mutual protection. Accordingly, they hereby agree as follows:
1. Husband shall pay to Wife one-half of his salary from Farrell Veterinary Associates, Inc., net
only of federal, state and local income taxes and Social Security and Medicare taxes. He shall pay that
sum to her every two weeks, as he is paid by the corporation and the payments shall commence with his
first pay in the month of September, 2008. The parties agree, however, that any disability or work income
received by Wife during the time that she is receiving one half of Husband's salary pursuant to this
Paragraph, will be credited to Husband's obligation under this Paragraph and will reduce the payments he
is required to make by the amount of such disability or work income.
2. Wife shall continue to receive thirty-eight (38%) percent of the profits from Farrell Veterinary
Associates, Inc. Her share of the profits will be paid to her before any bonus payments to employees,
any increases in salary, any increase in payroll expenses, and any capital expenditures or other expenses in
excess of Five Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars, unless Wife agrees to such expenses or items prior to their
being paid. Wife will receive a monthly draw against her share of the profits and that monthly draw will
not be less than the monthly draw against profits distributed to Husband on a monthly basis. At the end of
the year, the profits of the corporation will be calculated and, after payment of the matters set forth in
Paragraph 3 hereof, those profits will be distributed so that Wife receives her full thirty-eight (38%)
percent share of them. Wife agrees that the corporation shall pay the cost of installation of a HVAC or
Geo-thermal heating and cooling system for the Newville Hospital, at a cost not to exceed $30,000.00,
from the profits generated by the corporation for 2008 before those profits are divided. The parties will
agree upon compensation to Wife for the cost of such improvements later, if Wife ceases owning her

Exhibit "A":
r
interest in the corporation as part of any eventual settlement or agreement between the parties.
3. The said corporation shall pay, as an advance against both Husband's and Wife's share of the
profits, the following expenses for the benefit of Wife:
A. The monthly installment on the loan which encumbers the title to her 2008
BMW X3 automobile; and
B. The cost of insurance on the automobile; and
C. The charges and fees for the cell phone used by Wife.
These costs will be advanced by the corporation and deducted or otherwise recovered equally from the
share of the profits generated by the corporation distributed to Husband and Wife at the end of the
corporation's fiscal year.
4. Husband shall pay the fees and premiums required to continue the present health insurance on
Wife. In addition, Husband will pay 50% of all professional fees, including psychiatric, psychological,
and counseling fees, for Wife's current counseling and therapy program that are not covered by insurance.
5. Wife shall remain a shareholder, director, and officer of Farrell Veterinary Associates, Inc. As
such, she will be entitled to receive all information regarding the operation of the corporation and its
various businesses. There shall be no change in the officers, directors, or shareholders of the corporation,
no expenditures of $5,000 or more other than in the ordinary course of business, and no increase in the
corporation's debts without Wife's prior written consent.
6. Other than as set forth in Paragraph 5 above, Wife hereby resigns her employment by said
corporation, effective 31 August 2008.
7. This agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as it is modified by the
mutual agreement of the parties expressed in writing. The parties acknowledge that this is not intended as
a full or final resolution of the economic issues arising out of their marriage and any potential divorce
action against them, and agree to continue to exchange information in an effort to resolve all economic
issues arising out of their marriage and any potential or eventual divorce.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands and seals the day and year first
above written.

DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S
PETITION FOR BIFURCATION AND SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW comes the above-named Defendant, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
makes the following Answer with New Matter to Plaintiff's Petition:
1. Admitted
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Denied as stated. Although it is acknowledged that the parties have substantial
financial assets, a substantial portion of those are retirement assets which are not liquid. The
parties also own substantial real estate holdings, which are not liquid and at least two of them are
necessary for the continued operation of the corporation in which they both own an interest. By
far the most valuable asset owned by the parties is their interest in the corporation which owns
and operates the veterinary clinic which previously employed both of them and which is now in
the control of Plaintiff. Defendant denies that she has individual control over the corporation.
8. Admitted.
9. Admitted. By way of further answer, Defendant incorporates herein the averments set
out in her New Matter.
10. Admitted. Defendant incorporates herein, by reference, the averments set out in her
New Matter.
11. Denied as stated. Plaintiff has acknowledged and admitted his marital misconduct
and it is anticipated that the parties will not need a separate hearing to establish his adulterous
affair with another woman during the marriage. Defendant does not believe a special hearing
will be required to establish Plaintiff's misconduct.
12. Denied. Defendant has not been able to return to full time or gainful employment.
She has left this area because of her embarrassment over the breakup of the marriage, her loss of
employment b y the corporation owned by the parties, and a restrictive covenant between her and
the corporation that has prevented her from working in the Cumberland County area. She
continues to receive therapy for the emotional and psychological problems caused by the
breakup of the marriage and the loss of her career. Defendant has not able to "move on" with
her life.
13. Denied. Until such time as the parties know what assets they will receive and what
incomes they will have, it is premature to terminate the marriage.
14. Denied. Plaintiff has shown very little interest in advancing the resolution of this
case. Granting him a bifurcation now will remove what legal incentive he has to conclude the
matter and, therefore, will operate to the distinct disadvantage of Defendant.
15. Admitted.
16. Denied as stated. Defendant does not know what Plaintiff "anticipated" but does
not believe that Plaintiff expected that the divorce would be quickly resolved as he now avers.
17. Denied as stated. The divorce action has not languished and, in fact, the parties
have devoted significant time to obtaining appraisals and exchanging financial information and
attempting to negotiate a resolution of some of the complicated issues in the case. Defendant
denies that she has refused to secure appropriate employment and avers that, because of the
emotional and psychological problems caused by the breakup of the marriage, and the loss of her
employment by the corporation in which she owns an interest, and her resulting treatment and
therapy, she has not been able to obtain adequate employment to meet her financial needs.
18. Denied. Plaintiff is not paying any more under the agreement of 19 September 2008
than he would be required to pay to or share with Defendant if the parties were still residing
together. Plaintiff has not suffered a "tremendous financial hardship" because of that
agreement. Defendant incorporates herein, by reference, the averments set out in her New
Matter.
19. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to deny Plaintiff s Petition for Bifurcation
and Special Relief.
NEW MATTER
By way of further answer to Plaintiff's Petition, Defendant sets out the following New
Matter:
20. The most significant asset in this case is a corporation owned by Plaintiff and
Defendant and a third veterinarian which operates the veterinary practice created by the parties
during the marriage. Plaintiff and Defendant each own 38% of that corporation.
21. The corporation generates virtually all of the income available to the parties, either
in the form of salaries or rents paid to Plaintiff and Defendant for real estate which they own in
their individual names and which is leased to the corporation as locations for their veterinary
practice.
22. The corporation which owns the veterinary practice has been appraised at a value of
approximately $1.5 million dollars.
23. In addition to the corporation, the parties own several tracts of real estate. Two of
the most valuable of those tracts are improved with veterinary clinics which are leased, long
term, to the corporation owned by Plaintiff and Defendant and a third veterinarian.
24. At the time when Defendant learned of Plaintiff s adulterous relationship with
another woman, Defendant became extremely distraught and upset. As a result, she has been
receiving psychological and psychiatric therapy and care every since.
25. Because of the potential turmoil in the veterinary practice caused by the breakup of
the marriage of Plaintiff and Defendant, Plaintiff and the third owner of the corporation asked
Defendant to leave employment of the corporation and not come to the corporation's offices or
clinics.
26. Defendant honored the request of Plaintiff and the third owner of the corporation
i
and withdrew from employment by the corporation in September of 2008. At that time, to
persuade Defendant to voluntarily leave the employment of the corporation, Plaintiff entered into
the agreement of 19 September 2008 which is attached to Plaintiff's Petition. Without that
agreement, Defendant would not have left employment by the corporation and would have
insisted on continuing to work and draw her salary and other benefits.
is
27. Since leaving the corporation, Defendant has not been able to hold full time gainful
employment. She continues to be treated for the psychological and emotional effects of the
j breakup of the marriage and her discovery of Plaintiff s adulterous relationship.
28. The agreement of 19 September 2008 expressly provides, in Paragraph 7, that the
agreement shall remain "in full force and effect until such time as it is modified by the mutual
I agreement of the parties expressed in writing."
r
29. Defendant has not agreed to modify, revoke, or cancel the agreement of 19
i
September 2008.
30. The resolution of the economic issues in this case are complicated by several factors,
which include:
A. The value of the parties' interest in the corporation and the apparent
s inability or unwillingness of Plaintiff to purchase Defendant's interest in the
corporation.
B. The existence of agreements among the owners of the corporation
i
which Plaintiff contends dictate how the interest of Plaintiff and Defendant in the
G
corporation should be divided or distributed and Defendant's belief that the
parties' interest in the corporation must be divided in the divorce action pursuant
to the Divorce Code.
C. A substantial portion of the real estate owned by the parties is
occupied and used exclusively by the corporation and Plaintiff has expressed an
unwillingness or inability to purchase or otherwise acquire Defendant's interest in
those properties. As a result, the parties have been considering long-term leases
for the property but Defendant is not certain such leases will provide her with
sufficient security for her interest in those properties.
D. Defendant's inability to hold full time employment in her field of
education and experience and her resulting financial dependence upon Plaintiff.
31. The parties have held two conferences with the Master to discuss the issues in the
case. Although they have not resolved all of those issues, Defendant feels they have made
progress in that direction and that further proceedings before the Master, both in the form of
conferences and hearings, will be required before this matter can be concluded.
32. If the case is bifurcated at this time, Defendant will suffer significant prejudice
because Plaintiff's incentive to get the matter resolved now will disappear, Defendant is likely to
be without health insurance coverage and will lose a portion of the COBRA benefit time period,
and will run the risk of additional legal and adverse consequences to the entry of a final decree in
divorce.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to deny Plaintiff's Petition and let this matter
proceed before the Master in the normal course of such proceedings.

ANSWER TO NEW MATTER°
=C) CDc as
'
-
20. Admitted in part and denied in part. All statements set forth in paragr 0 r
¢°t
admitted except for the suggestion that the corporation owned partially by the
parties is the "most significant asset in the case". It is averred, rather, that it is
"a" significant asset, but along with the parties' substantial retirement benefits,
real estate and other assets, the parties' share of the net value of the Corporation
is not necessarily the most significant asset.
21. Denied. It is denied that the corporation generates virtually all of the income
available to the parties. It is admitted that the corporation produces salaries for
the performance of veterinarian services by the parties and produces income
through rents. It is further admitted that Plaintiff, essentially, is totally
dependent upon the corporation for all of his income. It is denied that the
Defendant is dependent upon the Corporation for her income, in that she has
chosen to move from the area and has the same educational background and
work skills as does Plaintiff, such that Defendant could become fully and
gainfully employed as a veterinarian, either individually through establishing
another business, or as an employee with a veterinarian practice, if she chose to
work fulltime. It is further averred that Defendant has begun some limited
employment in her field, but chooses to work extremely limited hours. It is
further averred that Defendant has moved a great distance from her current
employment in Media, Pennsylvania, choosing to move to New Jersey. It is
further averred that Defendant is living rent free and mortgage free in her home.
22. Denied as stated. While the corporation has most recently been appraised at a
value of approximately $1.5 million dollars, that averment is incomplete in that
the evaluation did not include indebtedness of the corporation in excess of
$400,000.00. Further, even 38% of the net value of the corporation is not a true
reflection of the parties' interest in the corporation as they are tied to a
Partnership Agreement which clearly dictates the benefit to which any of the
three partners are entitled under circumstances where they sell or transfer their
interest in the corporation. It is further averred that Defendant and her legal
counsel drafted the parties' Partnership Agreement.
23. Admitted.
24. Denied as stated. It is admitted that, for a substantial period of time prior to the
parties' physical separation, the parties' marriage was broken and the parties
maintained an extremely limited marital relationship, although they resided
within the same home. It is further admitted that Plaintiff became involved
with another individual prior to the parties' physical separation. It is admitted
that when Plaintiff indicated he was going to pursue a divorce because of the
fact that the parties had not had a marital relationship for many years, the
Defendant became upset. It is further admitted that Defendant has sought, and
received, psychological and/or psychiatric therapy and care. It is further stated,
however, that Defendant has been engaged in psychological and psychiatric
therapy and care for in excess of 20 years and that the care she is receiving was
not precipitated by the parties' separation or Defendant's claim of Plaintiff
being involved in an adulterous relationship.
25. Denied. It is denied that because of the potential turmoil in the veterinary
practice caused by the breakup of the marriage of Plaintiff and Defendant,
Plaintiff and the third owner of the corporation asked Defendant to leave
employment of the corporation and not come to the corporation's offices or
clinics. It is averred, rather, that for an extended period of time, Defendant's
failure to properly engage herself in the operation of the business of the
corporation had a negative impact upon the operation of the business, and upon
the employees of the business, such that Plaintiff and the third party owner of
the corporation had contemplated for an extended period of time how to ask
Defendant to refrain from involving herself, even to the limited amount she was
involving herself, in the operation of the corporation. It is further averred that
for several years prior to the parties' physical separation, Defendant was
producing less than TWO (2%) PERCENT of the gross income for the three
members of the corporation. It is further averred that the physical separation of
Plaintiff and Defendant simply provided an opportune time for Plaintiff and the
third party owner of the corporation to approach Defendant about completely
terminating her involvement with the corporation.
26. Admitted in part and denied in part. The first sentence of paragraph 26 is
essentially correct in that Defendant withdrew from employment by the
corporation in September of 2008. It is denied that this was solely done as
Defendant "honoring" the request of Plaintiff and the third party owner of the
corporation, but, rather, this was an agreement of the three partners of the
corporation for many reasons. It is further admitted that Plaintiff entered into
the agreement of September 19, 2008 which was attached to Plaintiff's Petition,
which provided for Plaintiff to provide Defendant with support pending the
resolution of the parties' divorce proceedings. It is denied that this was done to
persuade Defendant to voluntarily leave employment with the corporation in
that Defendant had not been fully engaged in employment with the corporation
for an extended period of years and the physical leave from the employment of
the corporation was simply an acknowledgement of what had occurred many
years prior. It is denied that Defendant would not have left employment by the
corporation, or would have insisted on continuing to work and draw her salary
and benefits, without the agreement in that Plaintiff and the third party owner of
the corporation had the option of proceeding through other aspects of the
parties' Partnership Agreement to remove Defendant from the corporation had
they so chosen. It is further averred that Defendant continues to receive benefits
from the corporation.
27. Denied. It is denied that since leaving the corporation Defendant has not been
able to hold fulltime gainful employment. It is averred, rather, that Defendant
has chosen to not hold fulltime gainful employment, but only to work part-time
in minimal employment situations. It is further denied that Defendant continues
to be treated for psychological and emotional effects of the breakup of the
marriage and her discovery of Plaintiff's adulterous relationship in that
Defendant has been engaged in psychological and psychiatric treatment for
many, many years, which did not previously affect her ability to work, although
she chose, for many years, to not fully engage in her employment with the
corporation.
28. Admitted. It is further admitted that the document speaks for itself.
29. Admitted.
30.
A. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that the value of the
parties' interest in the corporation has been complicated, but reason for
the complication is that Defendant has attempted to override the terms of
the three partners of the corporation's Partnership Agreement and the
terms of the buy-out or purchase of Defendant's interest in the corporation
under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, through pursuing a division
of the partnership through the divorce, which Plaintiff submits is clearly
inappropriate. It is further averred that Defendant and her legal counsel
drafted the Partnership Agreement at issue. It is further averred that this
is an effort on Defendant's part to create complications in the resolution
of the divorce proceedings and to create additional delay in a final
resolution of this divorce.
B. Admitted in part and denied in part. While the statements set forth in sub-
paragraph 30 B are accurate,, it is submitted that these are not complicated
factors, but an effort on Defendant's part to override or overrule the terms
of the Partnership Agreement executed by the parties hereto and the third
party owner of the corporation, which clearly dictate how any of the three
parties would be treated in the event of their removal or withdrawal of the
corporation.
C. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is submitted that the issues set
forth in sub-paragraph 30 C are not complicating factors, but aspects of
the separation and prospective divorce that would be dealt with in this
case by the Divorce Master in the same manner that it is being dealt with
in every case.
D. Denied. It is denied that the averment set forth in paragraph 30 D are
complicating factors to the resolution of this case, particularly in that
Defendant chooses to not hold fulltime employment, but rather work part-
time in an area of her field of expertise that provides limited income. It is
further averred that Defendant has income from rental of the Holly Pike
property, the rental of one of the farms formerly owned jointly by the
parties and from shareholder's payments.
31. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that two conferences have
been held with the Divorce Master. It is admitted that there has been some
progress in the resolution of the case, but that this progress has been extremely
limited. It is further admitted that there will be additional conferences and
hearings in this matter, most likely resolving the case in its entirety through a
comprehensive Master's hearing. It is further averred that Defendant has
simply refused to negotiate a resolution of this case, and had delayed many
months in responding to a comprehensive proposal that Plaintiff submitted to
her.
32. Denied. It is denied that if the case is bifurcated at this time, Defendant will
suffer significant prejudice. It is denied that a bifurcation would remove
incentives for Plaintiff to resolve this matter in that Plaintiff is the only party
who is aggressively trying to pursue this matter through resolution by
negotiation or by litigation. It is denied that Defendant is likely to be without
health insurance coverage, or she will lose a portion of her COBRA benefit time
period, or that she will run the risk of additional legal and adverse consequences
as the result of the entry of a final Decree in Divorce.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests your Honorable Court to bifurcate the divorce
and allow the parties to secure a no-fault Divorce Decree at this time and that the Court
terminate or vacate the parties' Agreement of September 19, 2008.

DEFENDANT'S PETITION TO ENFORCE SUPPORT AGREEMENT
AND NOW comes the above-named Defendant, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the court to enforce a support agreement between the parties, based upon the following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Defendant, Patricia S. Farrell ("Wife"). The Respondent
herein is the Plaintiff, Bernard C. Farrell ("Husband").
2. The parties are Husband and Wife and, during their marriage, they created and were
the primary owners and operators of a corporation, Farrell Veterinary Associates, Inc., which
operates two veterinary medical facilities in Cumberland County.
3. In the Spring of 2008, Wife learned that Husband was engaged in an adulterous
affair with another woman.
4. Husband's affair, which continued after Wife's discovery of it, caused considerable
turmoil and upset between the parties. Those problems extended into the workplace at the
Veterinary hospitals operated by the parties.
5. Because of the problems between Husband and Wife, Husband and the third owner
of the Veterinary corporation, Todd Hasco, asked Wife to cease working at the Veterinary
facilities. Wife agreed to do that only on the condition that she and Husband had an agreement
in place to provide for her financial support and to provide her with her continuing benefits from
ownership in the corporation.
6. As a result of the above, Husband and Wife entered into an Agreement dated 19
September 2008 which was intended to provide for Wife's support and her continued receipt of
benefits from her ownership in the corporation during the parties' separation. A copy of that
Agreement is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A.
7. Wife has performed her obligations under the Agreement and done whatever the
Agreement required of her in a timely and proper fashion.
8. Husband has breached the Agreement and failed to perform his obligations under that
in several ways, which include:
A. Husband failed to pay Wife her full share of his salary from the corporation as
required by Paragraph 1 of the Agreement.
B. Husband failed to pay and distribute to Wife her full share of the profits
from the corporation as required by Paragraph 2 of the Agreement.
C. Husband has failed to pay one half of all professional fees, including
psychiatric, psychological, and counseling fees, for Wife's current counseling and
therapy program beyond that covered by the health insurance Husband has
provided to Wife, all in violation of Paragraph 4 of the Agreement.
D. Husband has failed to make any payments to Wife, including one half of his
salary payments as required by Paragraph 1 of the said Agreement, since December of
2010.
9. Defendant, by his conduct as outlined above, has breached the Agreement and, by
doing so, has caused Wife significant financial harm and injury.
10. Prior orders in this case have been entered by the Honorable Kevin A. Hess.
11. Husband does not concur in Wife's request for relief as set out in this Petition.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to enforce the terms of the Agreement
between the parties dated 19 September 2008 by requiring Plaintiff to make all payments due
and owing under that Agreement immediately .

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this day of , 2008, and is by and
between:
PATRICIA S. FARRELL, hereinafter referred to as "Wife"; and
BERNARD C. FARRELL, hereinafter referred to as "Husband."
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Husband and Wife are married and are the owners and operators of a corporation
that operates veterinary medical facilities in Pennsylvania. They have reached agreement for temporary
financial arrangements with regard to that business and the financial support of Wife and want to have that
agreement reduced to writing for their mutual protection. Accordingly, they hereby agree as follows:
1. Husband shall pay to Wife one-half of his salary from Farrell Veterinary Associates, Inc., net
only of federal, state and local income taxes and Social Security and Medicare taxes. He shall pay that
sum to her every two weeks, as he is paid by the corporation and the payments shall commence with his
first pay in the month of September, 2008. The parties agree, however, that any disability or work income
received by Wife during the time that she is receiving one half ofHusband's salary pursuant to this
Paragraph, will be credited to Husband's obligation under this Paragraph and will reduce the payments he
is required to make by the amount of such disability or work income.
2. Wife shall continue to receive thirty-eight (38%) percent of the profits from Farrell Veterinary
Associates, Inc. Her share ofthe profits will be paid to her before any bonus payments to employees,
any increases in salary, any increase in payroll expenses, and any capital expenditures or other expenses in
excess of Five Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars, unless Wife agrees to such expenses or items prior to their
being paid. Wife will receive a monthly draw against her share of the profits and that monthly draw will
not be less than the monthly draw against profits distributed to Husband on a monthly basis. At the end of
the year, the profits of the corporation will be calculated and, after payment of the matters set forth in
Paragraph 3 hereof, those profits will be distributed so that Wife receives her full thirty-eight (38%)
percent share of them. Wife agrees that the corporation shall pay the cost of installation of a HVAC or
Geo-thermal heating and cooling system for the Newville Hospital, at a cost not to exceed $30,000.00,
from the profits generated by the corporation for 2008 before those profits are divided. The parties will
agree upon compensation to Wife for the cost of such improvements later, if Wife ceases owning her
interest in the corporation as part of any eventual settlement or agreement between the parties.
3. The said corporation shall pay, as an advance against both Husband's and Wife's share of the
profits, the following expenses for the benefit of Wife:
A. The monthly installment on the loan which encumbers the title to her 2008
BMW X3 automobile; and
B. The cost of insurance on the automobile; and
C. The charges and fees for the cell phone used by Wife.
These costs will be advanced by the corporation and deducted or otherwise recovered equally from the
share of the profits generated by the corporation distributed to Husband and Wife at the end of the
corporation's fiscal year.
4. Husband shall pay the fees and premiums required to continue the present health insurance on
Wife. In addition, Husband will pay 50% of all professional fees, including psychiatric, psychological,
and counseling fees, for Wife's current counseling and therapy program that are not covered by insurance.
5. Wife shall remain a shareholder, director, and officer of Farrell Veterinary Associates, Inc. As
such, she will be entitled to receive all information regarding the operation of the corporation and its
various businesses. There shall be no change in the officers, directors, or shareholders of the corporation,
no expenditures of $5,000 or more other than in the ordinary course of business, and no increase in the
corporation's debts without Wife's prior written consent.
6. Other than as set forth in Paragraph 5 above, Wife hereby resigns her employment by said
corporation, effective 31 August 2008.
7. This agreement shall remain in frill force and effect until such time as it is modified by the
mutual agreement of the parties expressed in writing. The parties acknowledge that this is not intended as
a full or final resolution of the economic issues arising out of their marriage and any potential divorce
action against them, and agree to continue to exchange information in an effort to resolve all economic
issues arising out of their marriage and any potential or eventual divorce.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands and seals the day and year first
above written.

IN RE: DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO ENFORCE SUPPORT AGREEMENT AND
PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR BIFURCATION AND SPECIAL RELIEF
ORDER
AND NOW, this "S' , day of March, 2012, this matter having been called for
hearing and following conference with counsel in Chambers, it is ordered and directed that:
1. The plaintiff, Bernard C. Farrell, will pay to the defendant, Patricia S. Farrell, the sum
of $20,943.65 no later than April 5, 2012. This payment will satisfy her claims for
additional payments from his salary for the years 2010 and 2011 as raised in the
instant petition.
2. The plaintiff, Bernard C. Farrell, shall cause the corporation, Farrell Veterinary
Associates, to pay to Patricia S. Farrell, the sum of $17,986.98 on or before April 5,
2012. That payment shall constitute the balance owed to Patricia S. Farrell for her
thirty-eight percent (38%) share of the profits of that corporation for tax year 2010
and shall satisfy her claims for those payments as raised in the instant petition.
3. Patricia S. Farrell or her counsel shall submit to Bernard C. Farrell or his counsel
copies of medical bills and a spreadsheet of Patricia S. Farrell's medical expenses not
reimbursed by insurance for the years 2009 and 2010. Those documents will be
submitted to him within thirty (30) days of this order and he shall have thirty (30)
days thereafter to review those so the parties, through their counsel, can . reach
agreement on the amount, if any, that Bernard C. Farrell owes Patricia S. Farrell for
reimbursement of fifty percent (50%) of her medical expenses for the years 2009 and
2010. If the parties are not able to resolve this, either party can move this court for
further proceedings on the instant petition. In addition to the medical bills and
invoices, Patricia S. Farrell shall provide copies of any insurance documents she has
regarding those medical bills at the same time she provides the medical bills.
4. This leaves open issues of medical reimbursement to Patricia S. Farrell for calendar
year 2011 and payment to Patricia S. Farrell for thirty-eight percent (38%) of the
profit of Farrell Veterinary Associates for 2011. If the parties are not able to resolve
those matters through counsel, either party may move the court for further
proceedings on the instant petition.
5. The request of Bernard C. Farrell to void or terminate the agreement between the
parties of September 19, 2008, is DENIED.
6. The petition of Bernard C. Farrell to bifurcate these proceedings, in light of the fact
that there is a hearing before the Master in approximately thirty (30) days, is
DENIED.

held before E. Robert Elicker, II, Divorce Master

both days commencing at 9:00 a.m.
APPEARANCES:

PROCEDURAL HISTORY
The action was commenced by the filing of a complaint in divorce on
September 11, 2008. The complaint raised grounds for divorce of irretrievable
breakdown of the marriage. No economic claims were raised in the complaint.
However, on February 2, 2010, the Defendant wife filed a petition for economic relief
raising claims for equitable distribution, alimony, alimony pendente lite, and counsel fees
and expenses.
The matters before the Master continued from March 2010 through the
date of the fmal hearing on July 31, 2012. Included in the Master's proceedings were
conferences with counsel and conferences with counsel and the parties. The conferences
were held without much success in resolving issues inasmuch as the husband has had an
ongoing lawsuit pending with other counsel relating to interests in the corporation, which
consists of the veterinarian business of which both parties are involved. A hearing date
was set for September 8, 2011, at which time we heard testimony from the parties and
also from an expert who testified by telephone relating to the value of the veterinary
practice. Also made part of the record was a deposition from a Dr. John Mira relating to
wife's health condition.
Issues continued to be discussed through conferences and meetings but to
no conclusion of the matters pending. Consequently, a hearing was scheduled for July
31, 2012, to complete the testimony and finalize the record.
A hearing had been scheduled for May 10, 2011, for testimony on the
issue of marital misconduct as it related to wife's alimony claim. However, the hearing
was not held and instead husband signed a stipulation which is made part of the record
• •
admitting a romantic and sexual relationship with a woman for more than three yeazs
prior to the parties' sepazation.
The hearing on July 31, 2012, went forwazd as scheduled and the record
was closed. Counsel asked for a few days to submit findings and a proposed suggestion
of how the assets should be distributed. It is noted that at the time of the hearing the
lawsuit pending with relation to the corporate issues affecting the corporation of the
veterinary business was still pending with no resolution in sight. Some years ago,
attorney for husband asked the Master to defer doing anything in the divorce case until
the litigation with respect to the corporation was completed. However, the Master
refused to wait and indicated that the divorce case should go forward regazdless of what
was happening with the pending corporation lawsuit. The resolution of that lawsuit may
have been helpful, it is admitted, but because there has been no finalization of those
proceedings, and they aze still pending, the Master does not feel that he made an incorrect
decision in moving forwazd with the divorce issues. This action began in 2008, and an
indefinite delay did not seem to be in the best interest of justice for either party waiting
for a decision in the corporate litigation.
The record was closed on July 31, 2012, and the Master proceeded to
prepare his report and recommendations.
STIPULATIONS
As previously noted the parties entered into a stipulation with counsel on
June 10, 2010, relating to the marital misconduct of husband wherein he admitted
2
•
involvement with another woman for a period of more than three yeazs. The stipulation
is made part of the report and record.
There was also a stipulation placed on the record as a Joint Exhibit No. 1
which identified certain items of property with values. The stipulation was agreed to by
counsel with some adjustments made during the course of the hearing. For instance, the
Simple IRA number of $209,654.56 was increased by $1,788.00. The household
furnishings in the amount of $20,934.00 were reduced by a wagon value of $1,600.00 and
jewelry in the amount of $2,675.00. Otherwise, all the numbers were agreed to as set
forth in the original prepazed document and represent the date of sepazation values of the
assets. The adjustments, as noted, were also agreed to.
Finally, the parties agreed that the value of the corporation was
$1,446,000.00.
FINDINGS OF FACTS
1. The parties were married on August 16, 1973, in Newton, New Jersey. They are
the natural parents of three children, all of whom aze emancipated.
2. According to husband, the parties sepazated at the end of Mazch 2008; according
to wife, the parties sepazated at the end of May 2008. The date of sepazation did not
make significant impact on valuation and the one asset that did have some issue relating
to the date of separation, the Simple IRA, was adjusted on the stipulation sheet.
3. Both parties graduated with a BS from Penn State and the University of
Pennsylvania Veterinary School and entered into a veterinary practice. Husband
basically limited his practice to lazge anunals and wife limited her practice to small
animals. After two yeazs of practicing outside of Pennsylvania, the parties moved to the
Newville azea and began a successful veterinary practice which they engaged in for many
yeazs.
4. The marriage went into a state of dissolution when wife found out about
husband's three-yeaz affair with another woman. By that time, wife had limited'. her
• •
practice and was essentially doing management for the company. She was also dealing
with health issues relating to depression and bi-polar disease as well as dealing with the
family issues involving raising the children and taking caze of the home.
5. Husband's decision to retire June 1, 2012, was based on health consideration, his
age and his inability to engage in the physical requirements of being a veterinarian of
large animals. Husband does continue to engage in a small practice which is limited to
what he feels he is physically able to do. His income involves social security payments
in the amount of $1,807.00 per month, rent from one of the buildings paid by thie
corporation in the amount of $4,000.00 per month. Each of the parties draws a stipend
from the corporation monthly of around $4,000.00. Husband also indicated that because
he is taking social security he cannot earn much more than $1,200.00 per month as
income.
6. Wife is planning to take her social security in November 2012 and her piayment
will be around $1,447.00. She also has rent from one of the building in the amaunt of
$4,500.00 per month, a draw from the corporation monthly similaz to husband's, and
earnings from apart-time position with her brother's veterinary practice in Sussex
County, New Jersey, wherein she makes azound $13,000.00 annually. Wife alsp receives
about $1,200.00 per yeaz from an investment.
7. Each of the pazties has 38 shazes of the veterinary corporation and another
veterinarian has 24 shazes.
8. On a joint credit cazd wife chazged expenses for plastic surgery in an amount of
azound $18,000.00. Husband objects to making those payments out of the joint business
funds.
9. The parties have each received vehicles, husband a truck and trailer and wife a
BMW. There is an issue that because of an agreement that wife ultimately ended up
having the cost of her BMW deducted from any corporate profits. However, because of
the uncertainty of the value and the cost of each of the parties' vehicles, the Mauer is
going to leave the vehicles with each of the parties without any adjustments.
10. Wife testified that she did not get credit for a joint tax return refund wherein a
sum of $18,000.00 was to be applied towazd the next year's taxes. Husband gox the full
benefit of that amount, and husband is requested by wife to reimburse wife $9,Ob0.00 for
the tax benefit which wife did not receive. It is noted that one-half of the chazges for
wife's plastic surgery to which husband claims as an involuntary contribution is
$9,000.00.
11. Wife has aone-quarter interest in farm land in New Jersey in Sandyston
Township. After testimony from expert appraisers the value of the property is set at
$375,000.00 total with the shaze of wife, which is aone-quarter interest, being set at
$93,750.00.
4
12. Husband used joint funds to pay approximately $158,000.00 for two of the
children for college loans and expenses. Wife objected to the payment based on the fact
that the children were post-graduate students and wife wants to be reimbursed for a
portion of the payment made by husband. Wife claims that she did not agree and testified
that she told husband she did not want to make the payment because the childrenn should
take caze of their own post-graduate loans; however, husband paid the loans and wife in
some background cooperation did participate in the payment of the funds. The Master is
not going to ask husband for reimbursement nor is he going to suggest that the parties ask
the children to make reimbursement for the monies they received for their college
education. The Master points out that the pazties have helped all the children throughout
the course of their young lives in getting established and getting an education amd this
assistance was essentially based on the fact that not only do the pazties caze about the
children's education but also had the financial means to make substantial contributions.
13. There are no marital debts that must be allocated. Husband, however, does have
post-sepazation debts for a property with a mortgage payment of azound $3,000;00 per
month and two lines of credit on which he is paying a total of $1,000.00 per month for a
total of $4,000.00 per month.
14. Wife is currently obtaining her medical insurance which is paid for by the
corporation in the total amount of $1,100.00 per month for both husband and wife. Upon
the dissolution of the marriage and the entry of a divorce decree, wife's costs for her
medical insurance will be azound $750.00 per month.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
On July 31, 2012, both parties signed affidavits of consent and waivers of
notice of intention to request entry of divorce decree. Therefore, the divorce can proceed
under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code.
The decree should preserve for potential further litigation wife's claim for
alimony consistent with the Master's findings and recommendation as hereinafter set
forth.

• •
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS
UNDER SECTION 3502(a) OF THE
DOMESTIC RELATIONS CODE
1. The parties were married in August 1973 and separated in the spring of X008 for a
total number of years of 35 plus a 4 to 5 yeaz period following the separation towazd
finally accomplishing a settlement and fmal decree in divorce. The parties were in a
long-term marital relationship.
2. Neither party was previously married.
3. Both parties aze around 62 yeazs of age. Both described health issues. Wife
discussed her problems with bi-polaz illness and depression which affect her ability to
work full-time. This information regazding her health was substantiated by the
deposition of Dr. Mira and continues to the present. Husband has retired because of his
physical inability to conduct a large animal practice requiring the strength and physicality
necessary to carry out his profession. He complains of back pain and shoulder pain
resulting from years of a physically demanding job.
The incomes of the parties, as previously stated in the findings of fact, relate to
small amounts of income they each earn as veterinarians as well as income which will be
received by wife from social security and is currently being received by husband from
social security. They also receive rent payments from two properties the parties own as
well as draws from the corporation. Wife does have some income from a small
investment in the amount of $1,200.00 per yeaz. Husband does have the potential for
taking income from other resources but has not yet done so which would include IRA
investments. Wife also has resources from which she can draw funds.
4. Both parties contributed to their education by borrowing money and working to
improve their earnings.
5. Because of the station of life of the parties with regazd to their employment
situation, it is unlikely that they will have the opportunity to acquire lazge future
acquisition of assets. The incomes that they have will hopefully be sufficient to maintain
their current lifestyle.
6. The sources of income of the parties aze from earnings, social security, rental
payments and draws from a corporation monthly. They have to pay for their own
benefits and as previously noted, upon the divorce, the corporation will not be paying
wife's medical insurance which she will have to pay in the amount of $750.00 pier month.
6
• •
7. Both parties were able to save a substantial amount of money from their hazd
work derived from prior income over the yeazs. Neither party is chazged with dissipating
any of the assets or depreciating those assets to the detriment of the other party. While
husband worked full-time during the marriage, wife assumed part-time practice duties
and assisted with managerial duties for the company as well as contributing to the home
duties as a homemaker.
8. The value of property set apart to each party is fairly substantial and will be
further analyzed in the recommendations of the Master.
9. The standazd living of the parties both agreed was "good".
10. The economic circumstances of each party at the time of division of the marital
assets aze sufficient to maintain their lifestyles and to provide for their individual needs.
10.1,
10.2 No tax ramifications have been considered with regazd to the distribution of the
assets. Specifically with the sale of stock of the corporation and with some of the real
estate there aze going to be capital gain ramifications but they have not been precisely
addressed in the testimony. Mention has been made of these possible tax ramif cations
but because of the uncertainty as to how the corporation is going to be dissolved and/or
sold, no definitive analysis can be made regazding the tax ramification issues.
11. Neither of the parties will be serving as the custodian of any dependent minor
children.
DISCUSSION
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
Based on the stipulations, the findings of facts, and the analysis of the
factors under Section 3502(a) of the Domestic Relations Code, the Master believes that
the assets of the parties should be distributed 50% to husband and 50% to wife.
Both of the parties aze coming out of the practice of veterinary medicine
on a more or less equal basis as a result of the assets which they have accumulated over
the course of their lifetime and work. The incomes of the parties have been discussed
previously, and it does not appeaz that either party has any substantial income or the
7
•
ability to earn substantial income over and above the other party's income. Currently, the
parties aze on a fairly equal basis with income.
The recommendations of the Master will take into account assets which
each of the parties have and make a distribution based on a division and distribution of
those assets as shown on the stipulation of the parties with adjustments as well as some
additional findings regarding the real estate in New Jersey as well as some credits for the
income tax refund which husband received totally to the detriment of wife and wife's
plastic surgery charges to the financial detriment of husband.
The Master is not going to make any recommendation with regard to the
corporation. Although the parties have agreed to a value for the corporation, the Master
is not using that value in the list of assets to determine a total value of the marital estate.
The corporation is going to be left in its current status. The Master does not feel that it is
appropriate for him to direct that either wife's shares or husband's shares should be
transferred to the other party. The parties should stand as the owners of their respective
shares in dealing with any prospective sales of the corporation or dissolution of the
corporation which is not, of course, the most desirable resolution. However, both parties
have neglected to take any bold action with regard to trying to find a buyer or have
discussions with the potential buyer who happens to be another veterinarian in the
practice. The parties seem to be just letting the whole matter sit in limbo and aze not
actively pursuing a final resolution of their corporate interests. Both parties talk about
"when the corporation is sold" they will have certain assets to use and will be free of the
operation of the corporation at that time. However, based on what has been testified to
and what has been presented, the Master is of the opinion that not only are the parties not
•
•
making any concerted effort to resolve the corporate interests, and perhaps expect that the
divorce court is going to make some final decisions relating to the corporation. This is
not the case, and the Master is going to leave it in the hands of the parties to determine
the way in which the corporation will be sold and the details of that sale. Also, upon the
parties resolving how they wish to deal with their corporate interests, they will have a
better idea what the tax consequences will be to each of them relating to the sale of the
corporation and other income derived from the corporation to their individual benefit.
Wife's position is that her shares should be transferred to husband. Husband does not
want the shazes because he does not feel that he wants to incur the cost of capital gain as
part of his obligation nor reduce the value of other assets he will receive by the value of
wife's shazes. Husband has not in any sense been actively trying to sell the company. He
has testified that he has no discussion with anyone about a sale. Further, the pending
lawsuit, which has been going on for a number of yeazs to resolve the corporation issues,
has not gone anywhere towazd settling or finalizing any corporate matters.
On the contrary, wife does not want husband's interest in the corporation
for basically the same reasons and further she does not want to operate the corporation.
Since neither party wants to maintain their interest in the corporation and
wishes to dispose of their shazes, the Master is giving them an opportunity now to
actively pursue a resolution of the interest of each of them in the corporation. Husband
had indicated in testimony that some time ago an offer was made to wife to purchase her
shazes but as the Master recalls, there was no follow-up or no serious negotiations
resulting from that offer. The matter continued, therefore, to stand in an unsettled state.
9
•
When the corporation issues are resolved, the parties will then have the
benefit of knowing what the tax consequences are. They can negotiate their own sales
prices and they can also determine if the leases, which they have on the buildings as a
result of their negotiations with the new buyer, will continue and will provide income to
them.
The Master's recommendations will address all of the other assets, credits
and adjustments that were testified to at the hearing.
RECOMMENDATIONS
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
No distribution of the corporate value or shares of the corporation is being
made as discussed by the Master. The recommendation is that each party continues to
own 38 shares and can dispose of those shares as they choose.
The payment of the college costs/loans of the children shall stand without
any charges against husband to wife's benefit.
Husband shall retain the tax refund credited to him for future taxes. Wife
shall not reimburse husband for any costs for her plastic surgery procedures.
Each party will keep his or her vehicle (husband truck and trailer; wife
BMW) free of any claims by the other party.
Each party will sign any and all documents necessary to effectuate any
transfers as required to accomplish distribution of assets as recommended herein.
The assets and values of assets which the Master will include in his
recommendations as to distribution are as follows:

DISCUSSION
ALIMONY
•
Wife has a claim pending for alimony. We have had a review of the
incomes of the parties as well as an analysis of what each of the parties aze goinig to get
pursuant to the equitable distribution of the assets other than the corporation. We do
expect that in addition to those assets that they will receive from the recommended
distribution by the Master they will also ultimately receive some substantial benefit from
the sale of their shares in the corporation.
The Master recognizes that there are various factors which affect.. the
alimony claim in this case, not only the income issues and asset issues but also the
allegation by wife of marital misconduct by husband to which husband has stipulated.
Currently, the Master is not going to consider any of the factors regazding an alimony
claim until such time as the incomes of the parties aze more established and their
expenses aze more defined. For instance, we do not know at this time whether the leases,
which the parties hold on the buildings which they own, aze going to continue and
whether or not they will receive income from those leases. We know that more
specifically when a final decision is made regazding the disposition of the corporation.
Wife has not yet begun to receive her social security payment but intends to do so in
November, at which time we will have precise information about her actually receiving a
monthly benefit. Currently, the parties each earn a small amount of income from their
practices as well as income from the leases, a payout monthly from the company, and
social security benefits payable to husband. These income benefits may change
significantly by the beginning of 2013. Since both have other substantial assets, until the
13
•
•
alimony issue is finally resolved, they can, if necessary, draw on those assets to
supplement income as needed. However, based on the current incomes of the parties,
that does not appear to be necessary.
Consequently, the Master is going to defer making a fmal
recommendation on wife's claim for alimony until such time as matters relating to the
corporation and other income issues are more specific and defined.
RECOMMENDATION
ALIMONY
The Master does intend to keep the alimony claim alive for the purposes
of further review in the future and recommends that husband shall pay to wife the sum of
$1.00 per month. The alimony claim can be revisited upon application of either party to
modify or terminate the Master's recommendation herein.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION
COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES
There was no testimony relating to wife's claim for counsel fees and costs.
Consequently, the recommendation of the Master is that wife's claim for counsel fees and
14
•
costs is denied, and since no testimony was offered specifically relating to the claim, the
claim is deemed to have been withdrawn.

IN DIVORCE
ANSWER OF DEFENDANT PATRICIA S. FARRELL
TO PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR BIFURCATION
AND NOW comes the above-named Defendant, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and makes
the following Answer to Plaintiff s Petition for Bifurcation:
1 through 4. Admitted.
5. Admitted with clarification. The affidavits of consents and waivers of notice were filed with
the understanding that they would not be utilized by the court to conclude the divorce until the court was
in a position to resolve all of the economic issues by a final order for economic relief.
6 through 13. Admitted.
14. Denied. By granting reconsideration of both the decree and the exceptions to the Master's
report, this court established that the final decree in divorce is not final and is subject of further action by
this court.
15. Denied as stated. Entering the final decree in divorce at this time may prejudice
Defendant's right to pursue an appeal to the appellate courts of Pennsylvania in the event that she is
dissatisfied by action taken on her exceptions to the Master's report.
16. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to dismiss Plaintiff's Petition for Bifurcation or, in
the alternative, to grant the relief requested in her New Matter.
NEW MATTER
By way of further answer, Defendant sets forth the following New Matter:
17. Defendant is concerned that entry of a final decree in divorce in this matter, or the other
relief requested in Plaintiff's Petition for Bifurcation, may prevent her from pursuing an appeal to the
appellate courts of Pennsylvania in the event that she is not satisfied with the final resolution of the
economic issues which are currently pending before the court in her exceptions to the Master's report.
18. If the parties can agree, and this court will order, that the bifurcation shall not prevent
Defendant's right to appeal any of the economic issues still pending because of Defendant's exceptions
to the Master's report, the court may enter a decree bifurcating the case and granting Plaintiff his divorce
decree.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to enter the attached order to resolve the matters
raised in Plaintiffs Petition for Bifurcation or, in the alternative, to deny Plaintiffs Petition for
Bifurcation.

V. CIVIL ACTION- LAW
PATRICIA M. FARRELL, NO. 08-5421 CIVIL TERM
Defendant.
IN DIVORCE
IN RE: DEFENDANT'S EXCEPTIONS TO DIVORCE MASTER'S REPORT
BEFORE HESS AND PECK'
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE COURT
For disposition in the present bifurcated divorce case are exceptions to the Divorce
Master's Report filed by the Defendant, Patricia M. Farrell. (Defendant's Exceptions to Master's
Report, filed September 5, 2012). The Divorce Master filed his report recommending that the
assets of the parties should be distributed fifty-fifty with adjustments made regarding some of the
assets. (Master's Report, filed August 17, 2012).2
Judge Masland has recused himself from this case.
2 The exceptions of the Defendant read as follows:
1. The Master made findings about the Plaintiffs alleged medical condition,and the Plaintiffs claim that those medical
conditions limited his ability to work as a veterinary,without competent evidence and without expert evidence on the
subj ect.
2. The Master erroneously concluded that Plaintiffs decision to retire from the practice of veterinary medicine,
announced on the eve of the final Master's hearing,,was a genuine decision based upon Plaintiffs medical and physical
condition and was not an effort to avoid his obligations to the Defendant.
3. The Master erroneously failed to assign Plaintiff an earning capacity based upon his ability to practice veterinary
medicine.The Master erroneously concluded that the Plaintiff was not able to perform large animal veterinary work
when the testimony made it clear that Plaintiff continued to do the type of work following his alleged"retirement"from
Farrell Veterinary Associates.
4. The Master charged Defendant with the expense she incurred for surgery following the parties'separation but
overlooked the substantial cash withdrawals made by Plaintiff from various marital accounts,for his personal use and
benefit,at approximately the same time.As a result,the Master overcharged Wife with the receipt of marital assets or
the creation of martial debts.
5. The Master failed to take into account the monies Plaintiff removed from joint accounts shortly prior to and following
separation and devoted to his personal use and benefit.
6. The Master failed to award Defendant monies she contributed to joint tax return deposits which were unilaterally taken
by Plaintiff and used for his sole benefit.The deposits resulted in Plaintiff receiving tax benefits in the amount of
$20,642.00 and Defendant is entitled to 50%of that benefit.
7. The Master failed to charge Plaintiff with receipt of approximately$158,000.00 which he received from a joint marital
account.The master erroneously granted Plaintiff a credit for those funds,finding that Plaintiff used them to pay
student loans incurred by two of the parties'three children in graduate school,over the objection of Defendant,who did
As directed during oral argument on April 5, 2013, and consistent with C.C.R.P.
1028(c)(6), the Defendant has waived or consolidated her exceptions so that there are but three
remaining issues: (1)whether the Master erred in not accounting for the the cost of selling the
Doubling Gap Road property when making equitable distribution; (2) whether the Master erred
in allowing the Plaintiff to retain the entire benefit of the 2008 tax refund; and , (3) whether the
Master erred in finding that the Plaintiff retired for health reasons. For the reasons stated in this
opinion, Defendant's exceptions will be denied.
Plaintiff, Bernard C. Farrell, resides at 905 Center Road,Newville, Pennsylvania 17241.
(Notes of Testimony, 54, In Re: Transcript of Proceedings Hearing, July 31. 2012 (hereinafter
"N.T._, July 8. 2012")). Defendant, Patricia M. Farrell, resides at 44 Bevans Road, Layton,
New Jersey 07851. (N.T. 151, July 31, 2012). Plaintiff and Defendant were married in 1973.
(N.T. 32, Sept. 8, 2011). Plaintiff and Defendant both graduated from veterinary school in 1976.
(N.T. 33, Sept. 8, 2011). In 1978,the two started a veterinary practice that was later
incorporated, Farrell Veterinary Associates, Inc. (hereinafter"Corporation"). (N.T. 32-33, Sept.
not consent to the expenditure of funds in that fashion.In fact,the evidence demonstrated that,to the contrary,those
payments were made over Defendant's objections.
8. The maser failed to take into account the substantial expenses incurred by Defendant in the sale of her farm property,as
required by the statutory factors.
9. The Master erroneously allowed Plaintiff to submit an appraisal and offer testimony on the value of Farrell Veterinary
Associates,Inc.after the Master conducted a hearing at which he took testimony on the value of the business from
Defendant's expert.The Master thus violated his own directives by permitting Plaintiff to introduce evidence as to the
value of the corporation after the record was closed on that subject.
10. The Master erroneously failed to make proper disposition of the parties'ownership interest in Farrell Veterinary
Associates,Inc.,a corporation which both of them own.In doing so,the Master erroneously failed to award to Plaintiff,
Wife's interest in the corporation.By doing so,the Master left the parties engaged in that business and left Defendant at
the mercy of Plaintiff and the third shareholder,both of whom have interests adverse to those of the Defendant.
11. The Master's final report is inconsistent with statements he made and guidance he made to the parties regarding the
disposition of the corporation in prior conferences and proceedings before the Master.
12. The Master failed to charge the Plaintiff with receipt of a motor vehicle and a horse trailer which he received from the
corporation,Farrell Veterinary Associates,Inc.,in which he subsequently sold or traded in for his benefit.
13. The Master erroneously charged the Defendant with receipt of a motor vehicle from the corporation for which she paid
by receiving less of the profit distributions from the corporation pursuant to an agreement that parties signed in
September of 2008.
14. The Master's findings that the parties'standard of living during the marriage was"good"is inadequate given the
undisputed testimony before the Master about the expensive vacations and other expenditures by the parties on their
lifestyle(Defendant's Exceptions to Masters Report and Recommendation,filed Sept.5,2012).
2
8, 2011). The Defendant focused her practice on small animals while the Plaintiff focused on
large animals. (N.T. 61-62, July 31, 2012). Around 1986, the Defendant was treated for
depression, and later, bi-polar disease; as a result, she reduced her appointments and managerial
services to part-time. (N.T. 36-40, Sept. 8, 2011). The Corporation continued to grow, and a third
partner was added, Dr. Hasco. (N.T. 71-72, July 31, 2012). The Farrells each owned 38% of the
Corporation, and Dr. Hasco owned 24%. (N.T. 71, July 31, 2012).
The Defendant found out that the Plaintiff was having a long-term affair in early 2008,
and the parties separated soon after. (N.T. 42, Sept. 8, 2011). After that time,the Defendant's
mental state worsened and she spent less time in Pennsylvania; as a result, for all practical
purposes, her work in the Corporation stopped. (N.T. 42-45, 56 Sept. 8, 2011). The Plaintiff filed
a Divorce Complaint in September of 2008.
The divorce did not move forward for some time. During that interim period,the Plaintiff
and Defendant would both deposit funds into a joint checking account. (N.T. 100, July 31, 2012).
Both parties used that account to pay for day-to-day expenses. (N.T. 100-01, July 31, 2012). The
Defendant also paid for approximately $18,000 of plastic surgery through that account. (N.T. 99-
100, July 31, 2012).
During the interim period, the Plaintiff and Defendant filed a 2008 joint tax return. (N.T.
165, July 31, 2012). The 2008 return resulted in a refund of$18,364 for federal tax and $2,278
for state tax that was to be applied to 2009 taxes. (N.T. 166, 2012). The Plaintiff and Defendant
did not file a joint tax return in 2009, and the Plaintiff was credited with the entire 2008 refund.
(N.T. 166, 2012).

In February of 2010,the Defendant filed a Petition for Economic Relief. The Master was
appointed and a hearing was held on September 8, 2011. A final hearing was later held on July
31, 2012.
The Plaintiff and Defendant were able to accumulate a substantial amount of assets; as
such,the hearings before the Master generated a substantial record. However,the distribution
process was somewhat simplified because,before the Defendant learned of the affair,the
Plaintiff and Defendant met with an attorney for estate planning purposes and distributed various
properties that they acquired. (N.T. 66, 133, 146, July 31, 2012). As a result, one of the
properties that the Defendant maintained was the property referred to as the Doubling Gap Road
residence. (N.T. 66, July 31, 2012). Initially,the Defendant used this property as a residence;
however,the Defendant then rented the property since she was spending most of her time outside
the area. (N.T. 104, July 21, 2012;N.T. 44, Sept. 8, 2011). During the proceedings with the
Master,the parties stipulated to the values of their various properties, including a value of
$721,000 for the Doubling Gap Road residence. (Joint Exhibit No. 1). Before the final hearing,
the Defendant sold the Doubling Gap Road residence and cleared less than the stipulated value
after taking repairs, commissions, and transfer taxes into consideration. (N.T. 163-65, July 21,
2012). The Defendant testified that she spent$55,102.38 liquidating the residence. (N.T. 164-65,
July 31, 2012). Though the parties were still married at the time the property was sold, the
husband was never involved in the transaction as the deed was only in the Defendant's
name.(N.T. 176-77, July 31, 2012).
Additionally,before the final Divorce Master hearing,the Plaintiff retired. (N.T. 755 82-83,
July 31, 2012). At the final hearing,the Plaintiff testified that he had started the process to collect
social security. (N.T. 56, July 31, 2012). The Plaintiff cited the physical demands of a large
4
animal practice as the reason for his retirement. (N.T. 82, July 31, 2012). The Plaintiff testified
that five years beforehand, when he ruptured a disk in his back,he first considered retiring at the
age of 62. He told Dr. Hasco of his retirement plans three years before the fact. (N.T. 84-85,
July 31, 2012). The Plaintiff does continue to work part time for the Corporation, picking and
choosing jobs that are not physically stressful; however,he cannot earn more than approximately
$1,220 a month without offsetting his social security. (N.T. 56, July 31, 2012). The Defendant
testified that she also planned on collecting social security in the months following the final
hearing. (N.T. 177, July 31, 2012).
When reviewing a divorce master's report,the report and recommendations are advisory
only. Rensch v. Rensch, 381 A.2d 925, 926 (Pa. Super. 1977). "[T]he trial court is required to
make an independent review of the report and recommendations to determine whether they are
appropriate."Kohl v. Kohl, 564 A.2d 222, 224 (Pa. Super. 1989) (citing Goodman v. Goodman,
544 A.2d 1033 (Pa. Super. 1988)). However, "[t]he report of the master is entitled to great
consideration in that he has heard and seen the witnesses, and it should not be lightly
disregarded."Rothrock v. Rothrock, 765 A.2d 400, 404 (Pa. Super. 2000).
Pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S.A. § 3502(a) (10.2), the expense associated with liquidating
an asset is a relevant factor in the equitable division of marital property. "Adjustment in
the value of a residence for expenses associated with a contemplated sale may be an
appropriate consideration in some equitable distribution cases. We neither forbid nor
require the practice." Zeigler v. Zeigler, 530 A.2d 445, 447 (Pa. Super. 1987).
First, the Defendant contends that the Master should have subtracted the costs
associated with selling the property at 530 Dublin Gap Road from the stipulated value in
determining the figure used to distribute assets. We disagree. The parties had previously
5
stipulated to the value of the property. We recognize that adjusting the value of a property
for liquidation expenses may be appropriate in some cases. Here, however, the
Defendant chose to sell the property even though she could have kept it and collected
rental income,just as she did with other properties. The Plaintiff should not be forced to
absorb the cost of a financial decision not forced upon the Defendant. As stated above,
the Plaintiff did not participate in the sale of the property even though the couple was still
married at the time.
Next, the Defendant takes issue with the Plaintiff retaining the entire benefit from
the 2008 tax refund. There is no dispute that the Defendant was entitled to half of the
refund. However, the Master did not ignore this issue. Instead, the Master offset the
portion of the tax refund that the Defendant was due by the portion of the plastic surgery
that the Plaintiff paid for under protest through the joint account. Both parties may have
used the joint account for questionable expenditures; however, the plastic surgery is the
most exceptional item supported by the record. We find no error in the Master's offset of
these amounts.
Finally, we are not persuaded by the Defendant's argument that the Master erred
in finding that the Plaintiff retired based on health considerations. The Plaintiff testified
that he first considered retirement five years beforehand when he ruptured a disc in his
back. Further, he testified that he told the third partner of his retirement plans three years
ago. The Master was in the best position to evaluate the credibility of such testimony. In
any event, it is entirely reasonable that an individual with sufficient retirement funds
would choose to retire from physically demanding work at the age of 62.
