with Respondent. Petitioner was not represented by counsel. A copy of the
marital agreement is attached hereto,
4,
As set forth in the paragraph entitled HUSBAND'S BEISTLE COMPANY
PENSION BENEFIT, Husband was to divide his pension with wife after
September 29, 2006.
5,
Contact was made with Beistle Corporation on September 29, 2006 Trishia
Lacey, the President of Beistle Corporation, informed Petitioner through counsel
that Respondent had already been paid the pension benefit.

Wherefore, Petitioner prays your Honorable Court conduct a hearing,
granting all appropriate relief to Petitioner together with, counsel fees and cost.

RESPONDENT'S ANSWER TO PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW comes the Respondent, Clinton L. Craig, by and through his attorney,
Jerry A. Weigle, Esquire, who answers the Petition for Special Relief filed by Cynthia C.
Craig as follows:
1.
Admitted
2.
Admitted in part and denied in part
It is admitted that Clinton L. Craig, the Respondent herein, is an adult, sui juris
adult. His address stated in the Petition is in error. By way of further answer,
Respondent's current address is lIB Spruce Street, Mt Alto, Franklin Co. Pennsylvania
17237.
3.
Admitted
4.
Admitted
By way of further clarification, the intent of the parties was to divide
Respondent's Beistle Company Pension benefits on September. 29, 2006, or shortly
thereafter, because the parties assumed that such could be withdrawn at that time without
penalty.
WEIGLE & ASSOCIATES. Pc. - ATTORNEYS AT LAW - 126 EAST KING STREET - SHIPPENSBURG, PA 17257-1397
5.
Denied as stated
The Respondent is without sufficient information for form a belief as to either the
accuracy or relevance of the allegations contained in paragraph 5 of the Petition, and
strict proof thereof is demanded if at all relevant to this proceeding.
6.
Denied
Respondent does not physically have the Beistle Company pension benefit
proceeds in his possession and had no intent and has no present intent to deny Petitioner
her share of that pension benefit. By way of further answer, Respondent rolled over said
benefit to another plan in late September or early October 2006, when advised by Beistle
Company personnel of the taxes to be withheld and early withdrawal penalties he would
occur by a cash withdrawal of his said Beistle Company pension benefit. Furthermore,
Respondent is willing to enter into an Agreement with Petitioner to be enforced by an
Order of Court not to withdraw or modify his current pension benefit without further
Order of Court and to divide the same equally with Petitioner at the earliest possible time
that the benefit can be divided without penalty.
7.
Denied
It is specifically denied that Petitioner will incur reasonable legal fees of$5000.00
or that Respondent has a legal obligation to pay Petitioner's reasonable legal fees in this
matter, whatever they may be, and strict proof to the contrary is demanded at a hearing on
the Petition filed.
8.
Denied
Respondent's answer to paragraphs 1 through 7 of the Petition are incorporated
herein by reference hereto. By way of further answer, Respondent's actions will
substantially benefit both parties herein and were carried out only upon being made
aware of the mutual mistake of fact made by the parties relative Respondent's Beistle
Company benefit.
WEIGLE & ASSOCIATES, P.c. - ATTORNEYS AT LAW - 126 EAST KING STREET - SHIPPENSBURG, PA 17257-1397
WHEREFORE, Respondent prays your Honorable Court to deny Petitioner's request as
stated and to grant appropriate relief that will protect the interest's of both parties hereto
and to specifically deny counsel fees to Petitioner, since this matter could have been
easily resolved without Court intervention and without the involvement of much time
expended on behalf of the petitioner by counsel.

PETITION FOR CLARIFICATION AND/OR RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER
OF COURT DATED NOVEMBER 28, 2006
AND NOW comes the Defendant, Clinton L. Craig, by and through his
attorney, Jerry A. Weigle, Esquire, who respectfully petitions the Court for clarification
and/or reconsideration of its Order entered in the above-captioned matter, dated
November 28,2006 and aver the following in support thereof:
1. Plaintiff filed a Petition for Special Relief in the above referenced
matter which was answered in writing by the Defendant.
2. Plaintiff alleges that Defendant intentionally withdrew pension
funds through a former employer for the purpose of defeating
wife's interest in said pension benefit gained through a marital
settlement entered into on June 4, 2002.
3. Defendant contends that he merely rolled over the benefit into
another account as per written options presented to him by his
former employer to avoid tax and penalty consequences and had no
intent to violate his previous agreement with the Plaintiff.
4. Defendant freely admits he should have sought legal advice prior
to making the withdrawal as per the option presented by his former
employer but did not.
5. The aforesaid Marital Agreement clearly provides for the
withdrawal of pension benefits from Defendant's former employer
in September, 2006 without penalty.
WEIGLE & ASSOCIATES, P.C - ATTORNEYS AT LAW - 126 EAST KING STREET - SHIPPENSBURfci, PA 17257-1397
6. The Defendant is presently age 41 and will not be able to withdraw
pension funds without penalty under present law until reaching the
age of 59 ~ .
7. A mutual mistake as to a September 2006 withdrawal of
Defendant's pension funds was made for the Plaintiff and the
Defendant when the Marital Settlement Agreement was entered
into.
8. The Order of Court entered pursuant to Plaintiffs Petition for
Special Relief provides for a division of the pension benefit within
twenty (20) days of the order plus an award of
Counsel fees to the Plaintiffs Counsel for Defendant's withdrawal
and rollover of pension benefits.
9. No opinion was entered with the court's Order and no guidance
given as to any allocation of interest, penalty and income taxes
upon an early withdrawal of pension funds.
10. Preliminary calculations from a financial planning organization
indicates that taxes and penalty at this point in time will be well
over eight thousand ($8000.00) dollars, a copy of said calculations
is attached hereto made a part hereof and marked Defendant's
Exhibit "A".
11. Plaintiffs Counsel has indicated that all taxes and penalties on
Plaintiffs portion of the pension benefit must be borne by the
Defendant, and that a Contempt Petition will be filed if the pension
benefit and Counsel fees have not been paid within twenty (20)
days pursuant to the Order of Court presently entered. A copy of
Plaintiffs Counsel's correspondence to Defendant's Counsel is
attached hereto made a part hereof and marked Defendant's
Exhibit "B".
12. Defendant will need additional time to complete and have
processed whatever paperwork will be required to complete his
financial obligations ultimately required by the Court in this
matter.
WEIGLE & ASSOCIATES. RC - ATTORNEYS AT LAW - 126 EAST KING STREET - SHIPPENSBURG. PA 17257-1397
WHEREFORE, the Defendant prays your Honorable Court to amend its
previous Order in this proceeding as follows:
1. Clarify the previous Order entered by requiring that an appropriate
Qualified Domestic Relations Order be presented to the Court
which would divide Defendant's pension benefit as per the Court's
prior Order but require the person withdrawing the pension funds
to pay the early withdrawal fees, penalties and taxes.
2. Grant the Defendant an additional period of time to comply with
the financial requirements of the Court's previous Order and any
subsequent orders so as not to be found in contempt.
3. Grant any further relief that may be justified and appropriate in this
matter.

RE: Craig vs Craig
Dear Jerry:
My client is not interested in distribution by QDRO and I do not believe
that it is necessary. Mr. Craig will simply have to request the funds and suffer
the tax consequences or borrow against them.
The Court Order states that payment is to be made in 20 days and we
expect Mr. Craig to meet that requirement. If he does not I intend to ask for a
finding of contempt.
Sincerely,
\
