assigns. The parties have attempted to divide their Marital Property in a manner that conforms to
a just and fair standard, with due regard to the rights of each Party. The division of existing

Subject: LAURA FISCHER PROPERTY LEINS
Sir,
I have spoke to your client on several occasions concerning the liens attached to her property and
offered a deal to rid those liens in a short period of time. It has been two weeks since I first discussed
this proposal with her and as yet she has failed to contact or take my calls on whether or not she has
agreed to the terms.
The lien holder has agreed to satisfy these liens upon your client satisfying the arrears against him and
agreeing to a reduced, affordable child support amount. Since both parties agreed to the support without
utilizing Domestic Relations, as you know in order to dispute it, it is a civil matter.
It has been attempted to resolve this on several occasions to no avail. This issue was brought up several
2/11/2010
Wage 2 of 3
F
N
times during the initial filling of the paperwork for divorce while sitting in your conference room. I
brought it up and your client brought it up and yet it was still not formally addressed. I feel I have been
more than fair in my proposal to resolve this issue in a quick manner, and your client has ignored my
attempts to contact her.
Briefly the conditions of my proposal are as follows:
LAURA'S ACTIONS
1. Clear arrears for back child support
2. Agree to a reduced and affordable support amount of $125.00 per week
3. Agree to drop any violations to agreements to date
SCOTT'S ACTIONS
1. Secure and file satisfaction of liens on property
2. Continue to pay support on time to either state agency or client as determined by your client
3. Agree to drop any violations of agreements to date ( closing Scott's checking account, filing 08
taxes separately to name a couple)
2/11/2010
Page ) of 3
This is an attempt to foster an atmosphere of trust and well being for the care and concerns of our
children, which remain my primary concern in the dealings between Laura and myself. This action is
intended to place all parties on a level solid foundation to care and grow for our children. I would much
rather handle this calmly and rationally between the parties involved, however it is very frustrating when
the lines of communication have been ignored by one party.
Today is the last day the lien holder will agree to satisfying the two instruments unless contact is made
and an agreement worked out between the parties. If no contact is made by close of business today, then
other avenues as afforded under the Law must be pursued.
Respectfully,
Scott T. Swab

Please be advised that I have been recently retained by Ms. Fischer in the above captioned
matter. I have reviewed your latest e-mail to her previous counsel, Marcus McKnight, III, Esquire
on which you stated that you spoke to Ms. Fischer about a possible settlement in this matter. I
would ask that from this point forward any communication regarding a possible settlement be made
directly to me and I will discuss any offer with Ms. Fischer.
I am pleased to read in the February 11, 2010 e-mail that you are prepared to satisfy the
property liens placed by your first wife, now your current wife, because of unpaid child support
payments. I am curious as to whether these liens are going to be paid in full or if these liens are
going to be withdrawn. Either way I would like to have confirmation, in writing, that these liens
have been satisfied before we are prepared to do anything further in this matter. I will give you until
March 15, 2010, in which to provide me with documentation proving that these liens have been paid
in full or either withdrawn. I could care less how the liens are satisfied at this point and time.
If you are unable or unwilling to do so, I have discussed the possibility with my client that
the May 5, 2009 Order of Court, which you are currently in Contempt of Court, will be brought
1,?efore judge Oler, Jr. I am prepared to file a Petition for Contempt of Court to enforce judge
Olet?s TAa)' 5u. Order. T-3M CVer, %'? would like t0 ? r 31
Court arld v,-ith the least a nount of resistance on your part since there is very little left for you to do
in this matter. As tie May 5111 Order states, you need to either pay the liens or have them withdraw
and 3ndenni{, ls. `Ischcr as a result of the rcpos3,-'ssed vehicle. As for the counsel fees and costs
that was with her previous attorney and Attorney i",lchnight would need to enforce I:hat judgment,
therefore, I am seeking sections A & B of the Order at this time. We are willing to negotiate;
ho\vever, C'ou need to show good faith and make the first move by either paying the liens or having
your current wife rl-,lease the judgment.

NO. 08-6597 CIVIL TERM
IN RE: PETITION FOR CIVIL CONTEMPT
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 11th day of May, 2010, upon
consideration of Plaintiff's Petition for Civil Contempt, and
following a hearing at which the Plaintiff appeared and was
represented by Michelle L. Sommer, Esquire, at which the
Defendant did not appear, and at which Defendant's counsel,
Jane Adams, Esquire, did appear, the Court finds that the
Defendant has intentionally, voluntarily, and willfully failed to
comply with the terms of the order of Court dated May 5, 2009,
and he is consequently adjudicated in Civil Contempt.
The sanction of the Court is that the Defendant
undergo a period of imprisonment in the Cumberland County Prison
of 1 month. The condition of purge with respect to this sanction
is that the Defendant complete his compliance with the
obligations set forth in the Order of Court dated May 5, 2009,
and furnish Plaintiff's counsel proof of his compliance, within a
period of 60 days of today's date.
In addition, the Defendant is directed to pay an
additional sum of $1,768.54 in attorney's fees to Plaintiff's
counsel for Plaintiff's obligations to her attorney arising out
of the present Petition for Contempt.
Since the condition of purge in this case permits
the Defendant to purge himself of the sanction for contempt
within a period of 60 days from today's date, his commitment to
?i 4F
prison will not be ordered at this time, but the Court will
entertain a motion for commitment of sentence filed by Plaintiff
at the conclusion of the 60-day period in the event that the
Defendant has not met the condition of purge within that period.
In the event that no motion for commitment of
sentence is filed by Plaintiff's counsel within 90 days of
today's date, the Court will assume that the Defendant has met
the condition of purge, and no commitment of sentence will be
ordered after that time.
