PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF TO ENFORCE
MARITAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
AND NOW comes the Petitioner, DIANE K. BRADSHAW, by her attorney, MAX J.
SMITH, JR., Esquire, and respectfully states the following:
1. The Petitioner is DIANE K. BRADSHAW, an adult individual residing at 367
Great Forest Road, Grimesland, North Carolina.
2. The Respondent is ROBERT T. BRADSHAW, an adult individual residing at
6250 Stirrup Court, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
3. Petitioner and Respondent are formerly husband and wife, having been married
on March 5, 1983 and having been subsequently divorced by Decree of this Honorable Court on
September 8, 2010; a true and correct copy of the Decree in Divorce is marked Exhibit "A",
attached hereto and made part hereof.
4. The parties executed a Marital Settlement Agreement dated August 30, 2010,
which was incorporated into said Decree in Divorce (See copy of Marital Settlement Agreement
marked Exhibit "B", attached hereto and made part hereof).
5. Both parties were represented by counsel when negotiating and finalizing the
terms of said Marital Settlement Agreement.
6. Paragraph 3.(A).i. of said Marital Settlement Agreement provides that "If the
HUSBAND is unable to sell the Marital Home to a private third party, then a $60,000.00
payment to WIFE from HUSBAND shall be made at the expiration of each year, for a period of
two (2) years, from the date of the execution of this Agreement."
7. Respondent has failed to comply with said provision of the Marital Settlement
Agreement, by not paying the sum of $60,000.00 to Petitioner by August 30, 2011, despite

to a divorce on lawful grounds if such grounds now exist or shall hereafter exist or to such
defense as may be available to either party. This Agreement is not intended to condone and shall
not be deemed to be a condonation on the part of either party hereto of any act or acts on the part
of the other party which have occasioned the dispute or unhappy differences which have occurred
prior to or which may occur subsequent to the date hereof. The parties intend to secure a mutual
covenant, no fault divorce pursuant to the terms of the Divorce Code of Pennsylvania. The
parties agree to sign all necessary documents, including affidavits of consent, concurrent with the
execution of this Agreement, to secure the said no fault divorce.
17
17. ABSOLUTE AND FINAL SETTLEMENT.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended to consider, determine, and distribute all
of the Assets of the parties hereto as part of the terms of this Marital Settlement Agreement. This
Agreement is intended by the parties hereto to be a valid Marital Settlement Agreement,
providing for the absolute and final settlement of their respective property rights and obligations
of spousal support. This Agreement is not intended to be a mere separation agreement. This
Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties, and there are no representations,
warranties, covenants, or promises, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement.
18. VOLUNTARY EXECUTION AND FAIRNESS OF AGREEMENT.
Each party acknowledges that this Agreement has been entered into of his or her own
volition, (with full knowledge of the facts and full information as to the legal rights, liabilities,
and the assets of the other), and that each believes this Agreement to be reasonable under the
circumstances and not the results of any duress or undue influence.
19. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
Neither this Agreement nor any provision thereof shall be amended or modified or
deemed amended or modified, except by an agreement in writing duly subscribed and
acknowledged with the same formality as this Agreement. Any waiver by either party of any
provision of this Agreement, or any right or option hereunder shall not be deemed a continuing
waiver, and shall prevent or estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, or
option, and the failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict
performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement by the other party shall not be
construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of any such or provision, but the same
shall continue in full force and effect.
18
W
20. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The effective date of this Agreement shall be the date of execution of this Agreement by
both parties.
21. SITUS.
This Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
22. INDEPENDENT SEPARATE COVENANTS.
It is hereby understood and agreed upon between the parties hereto that each paragraph
hereof shall be deemed to be a separate and independent covenant and agreement.
If any, term, condition, clause, or provision of this Agreement shall be determined or
declared to be void or invalid in law or otherwise, then only that term, condition, clause, or
provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and in all other respects this Agreement shall be
valid and continue in full force, effect, and operation.
23. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS.
The descriptive headings used herein are for convenience only. They should have no
effect whatsoever in determining the rights or obligations of the parties.
19
24. SURVIVAL OF THIS AGREEMENT / INCORPORATION NOT
MERGER.
It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall survive any action for divorce
which may be instituted or prosecuted by other parties and no order, judgment, or decree of
divorce (temporary, interlocutory, final, or permanent) shall effect or modify the financial terms
of this Agreement.
This Agreement, at the option of either party, may be submitted court having jurisdiction
over the martial action between HUSBAND and WIFE so that this Agreement can become part
of any decree of Divorce issued by said Court and may be made a part of said Decree and any
judgment thereon with jurisdiction remaining in the Court so that the terms hereof are complied
with. The Agreement, however, will survive the Decree of Divorce and not be merged into it.
Regardless of whether this Agreement is made a part of a Court Order, this Agreement
may be enforced as provided in Sections 3502(e) and 3105(a) of the Divorce Code.
25. 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 legal or
equitable remedies or relief as may be available to him or her; and the party breaching this
contract hereby agrees to be responsible for payment of attorneys fees, legal costs, and expenses
incurred by the other and enforcing their rights under this Agreement.
26. BINDING EFFECT.
Each of the parties hereto intends to be legally bound hereby, and this Agreement shall be
binding upon their heirs, personal representatives, and assigns of their respective parties hereto.

1. The averments of Paragraph 1 are admitted.
2. The averments of Paragraph 2 are admitted.

4. The averments of Paragraph 4 are partially admitted and partially denied.

NEW MATTER
6. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 5 of the Response to Motion to Make
Rule Absolute are incorporated herein as if more fully set forth.
7. On or about January 16, 2012, Petitioner's counsel, Max Smith, and Respondent's
counsel had an extensive discussion regarding a repayment agreement that might be possible and
could be made by Respondent. Respondent could not make the lump sum payment as the real
property he received in the Marital Settlement Agreement had dropped so much in value due to
the economy that he could not obtain an equity loan on its current value.
8. On January 25, 2012, a formal offer was made to Petitioner's counsel for
repayment of Respondent's obligation at the rate of $5,000.00 per month, which payment has
been made over several months to the Petitioner until the debt was paid in full or Respondent
secured an equity investor for his business.
9. At no time did Petitioner's counsel ever indicate to Respondent's counsel that he
would file a Motion to Make Rule Absolute and left Respondent's counsel under the impression
that the parties were still negotiating and would take no action until the negotiations were
concluded.
10. As of the date of this Response to the Motion to Make Rule Absolute,
Respondent's counsel has not received a communication from Petitioner's counsel whether the
offer forwarded to him on January 25, 2012 was either acceptable or not.
WHEREFORE, Respondent respectfully requests this Honorable Court to deny the
Motion to Make Rule Absolute and to set a hearing with regard to the Petition for Special Relief
to Enforce Marital Settlement Agreement.
