PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR EMERGENCY SPECIAL RELIEF RE: SURRENDER
OF NON-MARITAL PROPERTY (VEHICLE)
AND NOW COMES the above-named Plaintiff, James E. Cornett, III, by and through his
counsel, Paige Macdonald Matthes, Esquire and the law firm of SERRATELLI, SCHIFFMAN,
BROWN & CALHOON, P.C., and files his Emergency Petition for Special Relief for
Immediate Surrender of Non-Marital Property (Vehicle), upon the grounds hereinafter more fully
set forth:
Parties/Procedural History
Plaintiff/Petitioner is James E. Cornett, III ("Petitioner"), an adult individual, who
currently resides at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
17050, and has resided at this address since September 2005.
2. The Defendant/Respondent is Olena Vladimirovna Narovska Cornett
("Respondent"), whose current whereabouts are unknown to Plaintiff. However
her legal address is 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
a
Pennsylvania 17050. Upon information and belief, Defendant and the parties'
children may be temporarily residing with her friend, Luda Druker at her home
located at 301 Fried Drive, Dauphin, PA, or at a woman's shelter in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania.
3. The Parties were married on June 18, 2004 in Allison Park, Pennsylvania.
4. Prior to the Parties' marriage, the Parties executed a Prenuptial Agreement dated
May 14, 2004. A true and correct copy of the Prenuptial Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A."
5. On December 22, 2008, Petitioner filed the above captioned divorce action.
Facts Supporting Request for Special Relief
6. Respondent is a relatively new driver, having only possessed a Pennsylvania
driver's license since June 2004. Prior to November 30, 2008, Respondent had
never ventured beyond the immediate vicinity of the West Shore marital
residence.
7. On November 30, 2008, the Respondent abruptly left the marital residence with
the Parties' two minor children in the Petitioner's Toyota Sienna Mini Van
(hereinafter "Van") and drove the Van first to Gettysburg, PA, then to Carlisle,
PA and finally to Dauphin, Dauphin County, PA.
8. Eyewitnesses have also seen Respondent permitting third persons to drive the
Van. An eyewitness has also seen a third person, while driving the Van, make an
illegal U-Turn in the middle of Hanover Street into oncoming traffic, while the
Parties' two children were in the Van.
9. Pursuant to the Prenuptial Agreement, the Van is Petitioner's non-marital
a
property.
10. The Van is titled solely in Petitioner's name, as evidenced by Exhibit "B"
attached hereto.
11. The Van is insured through Petitioner's business, Cornett Hospitality, LLC.
12. Pursuant to the terms of the automobile insurance policy covering the Van, only
authorized persons are covered by the policy.
13. As Respondent is no longer residing in the marital residence, Respondent is no
longer an authorized driver of the Van, and thus is presently driving an uninsured
vehicle with the Parties' two minor children.
14. On Thursday, December 18, 2008, the undersigned counsel wrote to
Respondent's pro bono counsel, Grace D'Alo, Esquire, advising her that the Van
was only titled in Petitioner's name; that the Van was the Petitioner's non- marital
property; that her client was driving an uninsured vehicle; and that her client
needed to surrender the Van to Petitioner on Saturday, December 20, 2008.
A true and correct copy of the December 18, 2008 letter is attached hereto as
Exhibit "C."
15. On Saturday, December 20, 2008, Attorney D'Alo advised the undersigned
counsel in a letter faxed on even date that she did not represent the Respondent in
matters pertaining to the divorce but would forward the letter to Respondent. A
true and correct copy of Attorney D'Alo's letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "D."
16. On Saturday, December 20, 2008, Petitioner arranged for the pickup of the Van
in accordance with the terms of the December 18, 2008, letter. Respondent
however, failed to deliver the Van as instructed.
17. Respondent's continued unauthorized use of an uninsured vehicle not only
unreasonably places the Parties' and their two minor children in harm's way, it
also places the Parties' at risk for potentially substantial financial losses.
18. Rule 1920.43(a)(2) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure provides that "at
any time after the filing of the complaint, on petition setting forth the facts
entitling the party to relief, the court, may upon such terms and condition as
it deems just, ... order the seizure or attachment of real or personal
property ... "
19. Petitioner (as well as the Parties' two minor children) has been and will continue
to be harmed by Respondent's unlawful use of the Van unless and until this
Honorable Court grants the relief requested herein.
20. Based on the fact that Respondent failed to appear on Saturday, December 20,
2008 to hand over the Van, Petitioner presumes that Respondent does not concur
in this Motion.
21. This divorce matter has not been assigned to a Judge.'
22. Petitioner has had to incur additional counsel fees and costs as a direct and
proximate result of Respondent's deliberate and unreasonable actions, to wit: the
unlawful operation of the Van and continued refusal to surrender the Van to
Petitioner.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff/Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
enter an Order in his favor and against Defendant/Respondent, Olena Vladimirovna Narovska
Cornett directing the immediate surrender of the Van to Petitioner, and further award Petitioner
' The custody action has been assigned to the Honorable Edgar Bayley.
all such other relief as is proper and just, including counsel fees and costs associated with the
filing and litigation of this Petition for Special Relief.

acquired in exchange for such property shall be and remain the sole and separate
property of the party in whose name it is titled. With respect to such property
titled individually in the name of either Jim or Elena, the provisions of Paragraph
5 above shall apply to the extent the property is titled in the name of Elena and l V
the provisions of Paragraph 6 shall apply to the extent the property is titled in the
name of Jim.
B. Non-Titled Property. All non-titled items, including furniture and
household goods, shall be deemed joint marital property unless made the subject of a
separate written agreement signed by both parties. If the non-titled property is made the
subject of a separate written agreement, then the provisions of such separate written
agreement shall control as to the rights in and to such property.
C. Special Provisions for Business Properties. The following special
provisions shall apply with regard to any interest that Jim has in any business entity
currently owned by Jim, specifically Cornett Hospitality, LLC, Happy Owl Operations
Corp. of Richmond #1, Topeka Steakhouse & Saloon, Inc., Happy Owl Operations Corp.
of Pittsburgh #1, Happy Owl of York, Inc., Happy Owl of Chesterfield, L.C. (S-Corp),
5
and P.P. J. C., L.C., or any related business entities or properties. As of the date of this
Agreement, Elena further agrees that, in the event of a separation or a divorce
proceeding, she shall not have any right to receive any interest whatsoever in said
entities. Elena specifically acknowledges that, in the event of a divorce proceedings, she
shall not have any right to receive any ownership or security interest in the business.
Retirement Benefits. The parties agree that any and all retirement benefits earned
prior to marriage shall be the sole and separate property of the party who was and is the
employee earning such benefits. This provision shall apply to all company contributions and all
individual contributions to said benefit plans. The parties agree that under no circumstances and
in no event shall any such benefits earned prior to marriage (or increase in value of such
benefits) be the property of the other party of marital property subject to any claims for equitable
distribution. Where necessary in order to implement this provision, the other party hereby agrees
to sign any and all necessary waivers, consents or other documents required by the employer in
order for the party who is the employee to receive the full benefits of this paragraph.
9. Marital Residence. Jim and Elena acknowledge that Jim is building a new home
at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055 for which he has purchased a lot for
$160,000 on which to build and signed a construction contract for $525,000. The parties agree
that any equity in said residence shall constitute Jim's separate, non-marital property. In the
event the house is sold and a new marital residence is purchased with proceeds from the sale of
542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, all proceeds from 542 Lucinda Lane,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania shall be Jim's separate non-marital property. If Jim uses said
proceeds to purchase another marital residence, said proceeds invested in the new real estate
O'N I
6
shall continue to be Jim's separate, non-marital investment into said residence, even if the new
residence is titled in joint names.
10. Condominium. Jim and Elena acknowledge that Jim owns a condominium at
9813 Three Degree Road, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15101 with a fair market value of $170,000
and mortgage lien of $100,000, with equity of $70,000. The parties agree said condo and all
equity therein, including the increase in equity during the marriage, shall remain Jim's separate,
non-marital property.
11. Equitable Distribution. In the event of an annulment or separation, or in the event
of the commencement of divorce proceedings or a divorce between the parties, any and all joint
marital property as defined in this Agreement shall be divided equally between the parties
hereto. Any property that is herein agreed to be the separate property of Jim or the separate
property of Elena under this Agreement shall, in such event, be and remain the separate property
of the party entitled to it under this Agreement.
12. Jim and Elena both acknowledge and confirm that the property settlement set
forth herein shall be in lieu of any and all other rights of the parties under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other state or jurisdiction.
13. The parties hereby acknowledge that they understand that the applicable
provisions of Title 23, Domestic Relations, of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, as
amended, impose a presumption that all property acquired during the marriage (including any
increase in value of gifts or inheritances received during the marriage or of property owned prior
to marriage) is marital property under the statute and that in the event of a divorce such property
is considered marital property to be divided equitably by the Court upon request by one of the
parties and that other states have similar laws. With such understanding, the parties by this
o
7
Agreement, specifically agree to waive the foregoing presumption in favor of the provisions set
forth in this Agreement and to waive the right to have a court equitably divide such property.
14. Spousal Support, Alimony Pendente Lite, and Alimony. In the event of a
separation, commencement of divorce proceedings or a divorce between the parties, Elena
waives any and all right to receive support in the form of spousal support, separate maintenance,
alimony pendente lite or alimony under the laws of Pennsylvania or any other jurisdiction.
15. Child Support. In the event children are born of the marriage between Jim and
Elena (or adopted), nothing in this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the child or
children's rights to child support in the event of a separation or divorce. Elena shall have all
rights that exist under law to obtain child support on behalf of any child or children of the parties
provided she is either the primary physical or shared physical custodian of said child or children.
16. Death During Marriage. In the event of the death of one of the parties while the
parties are married and living tog ?
ether as husband and wife then the entire interest in the joint I?
marital property and separate, non-marital property of the deceased spouse as defined by this
Agreement shall be and become the sole separate property of the surviving spouse, free of all
claims by the estate of the deceased spouse, unless the parties had provided otherwise in a
separate written agreement or agreements signed by both parties. As to any and all items of joint
marital property that are made the subject of such a separate written agreement or agreements,
the provisions of those agreements shall be controlling as to each and every item of jointly
owned property.
17. Death During Separation. In the event the parties are separated (other than for
health reasons) or a divorce proceeding has been instituted by either party at the time of death,
then only the joint marital property shall be divided equally between the parties in accordance
8
with Paragraph 11. The parties' separate, non-marital property as defined by this Agreement
shall remain their separate property free and clear of any claim under the 1980 Divorce Code of
Pennsylvania, as amended, and the Probate, Estate and Fiduciary Code of Pennsylvania, by the
other party or party's estate.
18. Family Heirlooms. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the
parties hereto agree that any family heirlooms that either party has received or may be in the
future receive from their respective families shall, in the event of the death of either party or in

deliver a letter in writing stating their desire to live separate and apart. In such instance, the
parties agree that Elena shall vacate the marital residence within a reasonable period of time, but
no longer than six (6) months from issuance or receipt o a letter of separation.
20. In order to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
authorizes the other to act as his or her attorney-in-fact in the making, execution and delivery of
any and all deeds, conveyances, transfers of any real or personal property, or spouse's consent to
waiver of rights under qualified ERISA plans in order that thereby the joinder of such other
party, if necessary, may be made freely and without restraint; and each party shall, upon request
of the other, join in the making, execution and delivery of any such instruments that are
necessary to effectuate the purposes and intentions of the parties under this Agreement.
21. Each party agrees and understands, covenants and warrants that he or she has had
full opportunity to consult with counsel and to obtain any and all other information that he or she
may desire with regard to his or her rights or potential rights as Jim or Elena. Furthermore,
D Ids.

RE: Cornett v. Cornett
OUR FILE NO. 03-298-7
Dear Attorney D'Alo:
I am sending you this letter as counsel of record for Olena Cornett.
FAX: (717) 635-2952
Enclosed for your review is a copy of the Parties' Prenuptial
pmacdonald-matthes@ssbc-Iaw.com Agreement dated May 14, 2004. In accordance with paragraph 19 of the
same, please be advised that this letter constitutes written notification to your
client of my client's desire to live separate and apart.
Although your client has already determined to vacate the marital
residence, please be advised that this letter constitutes the written notification
required to be provided to your client pursuant to Paragraph 19 of the
Prenuptial Agreement to vacate the residence.
Finally, as you will note from Exhibit "B" attached'to the Prenuptial
Agreement, the vehicles are "Pre-Marital/Non-Marital Property of James
Estill Cornett, III." This would include the Toyota Sienna Mini Van ("Van")
that your client is currently driving.
SUITE 201
As you are aware from the testimony given during the December 12,
2080 LINGLESTOWN ROAD 2008 hearing, the Van is not titled in your client's name. Moreover, the Van
is insured through my client's business, Cornett Hospitality, LLC.
HARRISBURG, PA
17110-9670
(717) 540-9170
FAX (717) 540-5481
In light of the fact that your client is no longer permitted to drive the
Van under the current insurance policy, (she is no longer a resident in my
client's house) coupled with recent evidence that we have establishing that
your client is allowing unauthorized and uninsured individuals to drive the
Van, I am writing to advise you that my client intends to re-take possession
of the Van forthwith to eliminate the clear liability problem that your client
has created. To that end, please advise your client to have the Van in the
Grace E. D'Alo, Esquire

December 18, 2008
parking lot of the Hampden Township Police Department, located on
Sporting Hill Road, Mechanicsburg on Saturday, December 20, 2008 at 3:00
PM at which time an authorized agent of my client will re-take possession of
the Van. My client will not be present as he will be enjoying his time with
his children.
While we are hoping that your client will comply with this request
without the need for police and/or court intervention, please be advised that if
your client fails to have the Van ready for delivery on Saturday, December
20, 2008 as instructed, my client will not hesitate to take prompt legal action
against her. I trust that this will not be necessary, however and that you will
instruct your client to return the Van on Saturday as instructed.
Should you have further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate
to contact me."

CIVIL ACTION -DIVORCE
DEFENDANT'S PETITION FOR EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION OF RESIDENCE AND
OTHER SPECIAL RELIEF PURSUANT TO Pa. R.Civ.P. 1920.43
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, James E. Cornett, III, by and through his counsel, Serratelli,
Schiff nan, Brown & Calhoon, P. C, and files his Petition for Exclusive Possession of Residence
Pursuant to §3502(c) of the Divorce Code and Pa. R.Civ. P.1920.43 and in support thereof avers
as follows:
Petitioner is James E. Cornett. III, the Plaintiff in the above divorce action, who
resides at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
17050.
2. Respondent is Olena Vladimirovna Narovska Cornett, the Defendant in the
divorce action, who is currently residing at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. Petitioner and Respondent were married on June 18, 2004 in Allison Park,
Pennsylvania.
4. The Parties separated on November 30, 2008 despite the fact that are currently
living in the same residence.
5. Petitioner filed the above captioned divorce action on December 22, 2008.
Facts Supporting Motion for Exclusive Possession
6. Prior to the Parties' marriage, the Parties executed a Prenuptial Agreement dated
May 14, 2004. A true and correct copy of the Prenuptial Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A."
7. Pursuant to Exhibit "B" of the Prenuptial Agreement, the residence located at 542
Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (hereinafter
"Lucinda Lane Property") is identified as Petitioner's sole and exclusive non-
marital property.
8. On or about November 30, 2008, certain events transpired which necessitated
Petitioner's filing of a Petition for Protection from Abuse (hereinafter "PFA')
against Respondent on behalf of himself and the Parties' two (2) minor children.
9. On December 3, 2008, the Court issued Petitioner a Temporary Protection from
Abuse Order against Respondent on behalf of the Petitioner and the Parties' two
minor children.
10. On or about December 9, 2008, Respondent retaliated against Petitioner for filing
a PFA Action against her by filing her own PFA Petition against Petitioner. In
her Petition, Respondent alleged inter alia that she was so "fearful" of Petitioner
that she had to flee the marital residence with the Parties' two minor children and
take up residence in a local women's shelter.
11. On or about December 9, 2008, the Court issued a Temporary Protection from
Abuse Order against Petitioner.
12. A hearing was held on the two (2) Temporary Protection from Abuse Orders on
December 12, 2008.
13. On December 15, 2008, the Court issued an Order dissolving the Temporary
Order as it pertained to Respondent and vacating the Temporary Protection Order
issued against Petitioner and replacing it with the following Order:
[Petitioner] shall not abuse, stalk, harass, threaten or attempt
to use physical force that would reasonably be expected to cause
bodily injury to Olena Vladimirovna Cornett
14. The Court issued a second Order on December 15, 2008 setting forth a specific
period of time for Petitioner to have visitation at the Lucinda Lane residence with
the two minor children.
15. On or about December 25, 2008, Respondent determined that she wanted to return
to the Lucinda Lane Property and obtained Petitioner's consent to return to the
same based on her claims that she wanted to "get back together with Petitioner
and start marriage counseling."
16. Despite her stated intentions of "wanting to resume her residence at the Lucinda
Lane Property so that she could get back together with Petitioner and start
marriage counseling," Respondent has refused to withdraw her PFA action
against the Petitioner stating that she wants to leave it in place for "leverage."
17. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property on December 25, 2008, Respondent
has continued to berate Petitioner and subject him to physical and verbal attacks-
some of which have taken place in front of the children.
18. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has taken up residence
in a guest bedroom and/or a child's bedroom and has repeatedly requested that
Petitioner "take a mistress."
19. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has repeatedly
threatened that she will "call the police" if Petitioner does not do exactly as she
says or does not meet Respondent's demands.
20. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has carried on a course
of conduct whereby she has "trashed" the house. Specifically, Respondent is
refusing to clean up after herself and is creating waste within the house. When
asked to clean up the mess, Respondent has essentially told Petitioner that it is
"his problem" and that if he insists on her cleaning up the mess that "she will call
the police based on her PFA."
21. Petitioner has repeatedly requested that Respondent leave the Lucinda Lane
Property and has reminded her that he has already provided her with written
notice to vacate the same in accordance with the terms of the Prenuptial
Agreement through her prior counsel, Attorney Grace D'Alo on December 18,
2008.1 Despite Petitioner's requests, Respondent has failed and otherwise has
refused to vacate the marital residence.
22. Respondent has advised Petitioner that she is "bringing in her mother from the
Ukraine on January 14, 2009 to live with Petitioner and Respondent at the
Lucinda Lane Property" despite the fact that Respondent has been provided with
written notice to vacate the premises in accordance with the terms of Paragraph
1 Upon information and belief, and based on statements from Respondent, Respondent is now a pro se litigant.
19 of the Prenuptial Agreement and despite the fact that Petitioner has expressly
stated that he does not want Respondent's mother living at the Property.
23. Petitioner has recently discovered that Respondent used his business credit card
without his authorization or approval to purchase an airline ticket for her mother
to travel to the United States from the Ukraine.
24. Petitioner is being held hostage in his own home by virtue of the fact that
Respondent will not leave the same- this despite the fact that she represented to
this Court, both in sworn pleadings and via live sworn testimony in Court on
December 12, 2008, that she was "afraid of Petitioner." Petitioner would further
request that this Honorable Court take judicial notice of the fact that when
specifically questioned by the Court on December 12, 2008 whether she intended
to return to the "marital" residence and reconcile with Petitioner, Respondent
answered in the negative.
The Court Should Award Petitioner Exclusive Possession of the Lucinda Lane
Prove
25. The averments set forth in paragraphs 1-24 are incorporated by reference as if
more fully set forth at length herein.
26. As previously stated herein, the Parties' Prenuptial Agreement clearly and
unequivocally defines the Lucinda Lane property as Petitioner's pre-marital/non-
marital property.
27. 23 Pa. C.S. §3502(c) provides:
(c) Family Home. The court may award, during the pendency of the
action or otherwise, to one or both of the parties the right to reside
in the marital residence.
28. Pursuant to Section 3502(c) of the Divorce Code, the court has the authority to
grant Petitioner the right to reside in the marital residence during the pendency of
the instant divorce proceedings, to the exclusion of Respondent.
29. Petitioner asks the Court to exercise its equitable powers and direct that Petitioner
be awarded exclusive possession of the marital residence and Respondent be
enjoined from entering unto the real property.
30. Petitioner asks the Court to enforce the terms and conditions of the Parties'
Prenuptial Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
Facts Supporting Supplemental Request for Special Relief Under Pa. R.Civ. P.
1920.43
31. The averments set forth in paragraphs 1-30 are incorporated by reference as if
more fully set forth at length herein.
32. Pa. R. Civ. P. 1920.43 provides that on petition setting forth facts entitling the
party to relief, the court may grant other appropriate relief.
33. In light of the fact that Respondent has now forced her way back into the Lucinda
Lane Property (despite the fact that she previously provided testimony to the
Court that she was fearful for her safety), the Court should immediately vacate the
modified Protection From Abuse Order that was issued on December 15, 2008.
34. In light of the fact that Respondent made false sworn statements to the Court for
the purposes of securing a PFA Order against Petitioner which resulted in
Petitioner having to defend himself against such claim, Petitioner requests that the
Court award him his counsel fees and costs associated with the defense of the
PFA claims that were brought against him by Respondent.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, James E. Cornett, III, respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to enter an Order:
A. Immediately vacating the December 15, 2008, PFA Order
issued against Petitioner;
B. Directing Respondent, Olena Vladimirovna Narovska Cornett
to remove herself from the real estate located at 542 Lucinda
Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
within twenty-four (24) hours of the date of this Order of
Court;
C. Awarding exclusive possession and use of the Lucinda Lane
Property, to Petitioner James E. Cornett, III pursuant to the
Parties' Prenuptial Agreement and pursuant to 23 Pa. C.S.
§3502(c), thereby enjoining Respondent from entering onto
said Property;
D. Directing Respondent to pay Petitioner's counsel fees and costs
associated with the defense against Respondent's false PFA
claims against him in an amount not less than $1,500.00; and
E. Further award Petitioner all such other relief as is proper and
just.

CORNETT : CIVIL ACTION -DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED' PETITION FOR EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION OF
RESIDENCE AND OTHER SPECIAL RELIEF PURSUANT TO Pa. R.Civ.P.1920.43
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, James E. Cornett, III, by and through his counsel, Serratelli,
Schiffman, Brown & Calhoon, P.C., and files his Petition for Exclusive Possession of Residence
Pursuant to §3502(c) of the Divorce Code and Pa. R.Civ. P.1920.43 and in support thereof avers
as follows:
Petitioner is James E. Cornett. III, the Plaintiff in the above divorce action, who
resides at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
17050.
2. Respondent is Olena Vladimirovna Narovska Cornett, the Defendant in the
divorce action, who is currently residing at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. Petitioner and Respondent were married on June 18, 2004 in Allison Park,
Pennsylvania.
' This amended filing is necessitated by virtue that the previous filing inadvertently stated "Defendant's" Petition
for Exclusive Possession of Residence and Other Special Relief Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 1920.43.
A
4. The Parties separated on November 30, 2008 despite the fact that are currently
living in the same residence.
5. Petitioner filed the above captioned divorce action on December 22, 2008.
Facts Supporting Motion for Exclusive Possession
6. Prior to the Parties' marriage, the Parties executed a Prenuptial Agreement dated
May 14, 2004. A true and correct copy of the Prenuptial Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A."
7. Pursuant to Exhibit "B" of the Prenuptial Agreement, the residence located at 542
Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (hereinafter
"Lucinda Lane Property") is identified as Petitioner's sole and exclusive non-
marital property.
8. On or about November 30, 2008, certain events transpired which necessitated
Petitioner's filing of a Petition for Protection from Abuse (hereinafter "PFA")
against Respondent on behalf of himself and the Parties' two (2) minor children.
9. On December 3, 2008, the Court issued Petitioner a Temporary Protection from
Abuse Order against Respondent on behalf of the Petitioner and the Parties' two
minor children.
10. On or about December 9, 2008, Respondent retaliated against Petitioner for filing
a PFA Action against her by filing her own PFA Petition against Petitioner. In
her Petition, Respondent alleged inter alia that she was so "fearful" of Petitioner
that she had to flee the marital residence with the Parties' two minor children and
take up residence in a local women's shelter.
J
11. On or about December 9, 2008, the Court issued a Temporary Protection from
Abuse Order against Petitioner.
12. A hearing was held on the two (2) Temporary Protection from Abuse Orders on
December 12, 2008.
13. On December 15, 2008, the Court issued an Order dissolving the Temporary
Order as it pertained to Respondent and vacating the Temporary Protection Order
issued against Petitioner and replacing it with the following Order:
[Petitioner] shall not abuse, stalk, harass, threaten or attempt
to use physical force that would reasonably be expected to cause
bodily injury to Olena Vladimirovna Cornett
14. The Court issued a second Order on December 15, 2008 setting forth a specific
period of time for Petitioner to have visitation at the Lucinda Lane residence with
the two minor children.
15. On or about December 25, 2008, Respondent determined that she wanted to return
to the Lucinda Lane Property and obtained Petitioner's consent to return to the
same based on her claims that she wanted to "get back together with Petitioner
and start marriage counseling."
16. Despite her stated intentions of "wanting to resume her residence at the Lucinda
Lane Property so that she could get back together with Petitioner and start
marriage counseling," Respondent has refused to withdraw her PFA action
against the Petitioner stating that she wants to leave it in place for "leverage."
17. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property on December 25, 2008, Respondent
has continued to berate Petitioner and subject him to physical and verbal attacks-
some of which have taken place in front of the children.
18. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has taken up residence
in a guest bedroom and/or a child's bedroom and has repeatedly requested that
Petitioner "take a mistress."
19. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has repeatedly
threatened that she will "call the police" if Petitioner does not do exactly as she
says or does not meet Respondent's demands.
20. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has carried on a course
of conduct whereby she has "trashed" the house. Specifically, Respondent is
refusing to clean up after herself and is creating waste within the house. When
asked to clean up the mess, Respondent has essentially told Petitioner that it is
"his problem" and that if he insists on her cleaning up the mess that "she will call
the police based on her PFA."
21. Petitioner has repeatedly requested that Respondent leave the Lucinda Lane
Property and has reminded her that he has already provided her with written
notice to vacate the same in accordance with the terms of the Prenuptial
Agreement through her prior counsel, Attorney Grace D'Alo on December 18,
2008.1 Despite Petitioner's requests, Respondent has failed and otherwise has
refused to vacate the marital residence.
22. Respondent has advised Petitioner that she is "bringing in her mother from the
Ukraine on January 14, 2009 to live with Petitioner and Respondent at the
Lucinda Lane Property" despite the fact that Respondent has been provided with
written notice to vacate the premises in accordance with the terms of Paragraph
' Upon information and belief, and based on statements from Respondent, Respondent is now a pro se litigant.
19 of the Prenuptial Agreement and despite the fact that Petitioner has expressly
stated that he does not want Respondent's mother living at the Property.
23. Petitioner has recently discovered that Respondent used his business credit card
without his authorization or approval to purchase an airline ticket for her mother
to travel to the United States from the Ukraine.
24. Petitioner is being held hostage in his own home by virtue of the fact that
Respondent will not leave the same- this despite the fact that she represented to
this Court, both in sworn pleadings and via live sworn testimony in Court on
December 12, 2008, that she was "afraid of Petitioner." Petitioner would further
request that this Honorable Court take judicial notice of the fact that when
specifically questioned by the Court on December 12, 2008 whether she intended
to return to the "marital" residence and reconcile with Petitioner, Respondent
answered in the negative.
The Court Should Award Petitioner Exclusive Possession of the Lucinda Lane
Proper
25. The averments set forth in paragraphs 1-24 are incorporated by reference as if
more fully set forth at length herein.
26. As previously stated herein, the Parties' Prenuptial Agreement clearly and
unequivocally defines the Lucinda Lane property as Petitioner's pre-marital/non-
marital property.
27. 23 Pa. C.S. §3502(c) provides:
(c) Family Home. The court may award, during the pendency of the
action or otherwise, to one or both of the parties the right to reside
in the marital residence.
28. Pursuant to Section 3502(c) of the Divorce Code, the court has the authority to
grant Petitioner the right to reside in the marital residence during the pendency of
the instant divorce proceedings, to the exclusion of Respondent.
29. Petitioner asks the Court to exercise its equitable powers and direct that Petitioner
be awarded exclusive possession of the marital residence and Respondent be
enjoined from entering unto the real property.
30. Petitioner asks the Court to enforce the terms and conditions of the Parties'
Prenuptial Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
Facts Supporting Supplemental Request for Special Relief Under Pa. R.Civ. P.
1920.43
31. The averments set forth in paragraphs 1-30 are incorporated by reference as if
more fully set forth at length herein.
32. Pa. R. Civ. P. 1920.43 provides that on petition setting forth facts entitling the
party to relief, the court may grant other appropriate relief.
33. In light of the fact that Respondent has now forced her way back into the Lucinda
Lane Property (despite the fact that she previously provided testimony to the
Court that she was fearful for her safety), the Court should immediately vacate the
modified Protection From Abuse Order that was issued on December 15, 2008.
34. In light of the fact that Respondent made false sworn statements to the Court for
the purposes of securing a PFA Order against Petitioner which resulted in
Petitioner having to defend himself against such claim, Petitioner requests that the
Court award him his counsel fees and costs associated with the defense of the
PFA claims that were brought against him by Respondent.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, James E. Cornett, III, respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to enter an Order:
A. Immediately vacating the December 15, 2008, PFA Order
issued against Petitioner;
B. Directing Respondent, Olena Vladimirovna Narovska Cornett
to remove herself from the real estate located at 542 Lucinda
Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
within twenty-four (24) hours of the date of this Order of
Court;
C. Awarding exclusive possession and use of the Lucinda Lane
Property, to Petitioner James E. Cornett, III pursuant to the
Parties' Prenuptial Agreement and pursuant to 23 Pa. C.S.
§3502(c), thereby enjoining Respondent from entering onto
said Property;
D. Directing Respondent to pay Petitioner's counsel fees and costs
associated with the defense against Respondent's false PFA
claims against him in an amount not less than $1,500.00; and
E. Further award Petitioner all such other relief as is proper and
just.

separate property of one or the other of the parties, shall be determined by the
name or names in which the property is titled. Thus, if the property is held in the
4
joint names of Jim and Elena, the property shall be deemed for all purposes to be
joint marital property and owned equally by both and shall be so divided in the
event of sale, separation, commencement of divorce proceedings or a divorce
between the parties. If the property is held individually in the name of one of the
parties, that party shall be deemed the sole and exclusive owner of the property,
and said property and any increase in value of such property or any property
acquired in exchange for such property shall be and remain the sole and separate
property of the party in whose name it is titled. With respect to such property
titled individually in the name of either Jim or Elena, the provisions of Paragraph
5 above shall apply to the extent the property is titled in the name of Elena and ?v
the provisions of Paragraph 6 shall apply to the extent the property is titled in the
name of Jim.
B. Non-Titled Property. All non-titled items, including furniture and
household goods, shall be deemed joint marital property unless made the subject of a
separate written agreement signed by both parties. If the non-titled property is made the
subject of a separate written agreement, then the provisions of such separate written
agreement shall control as to the rights in and to such property.
C. Special Provisions for Business Properties. The following special
provisions shall apply with regard to any interest that Jim has in any business entity
currently owned by Jim, specifically Cornett Hospitality, LLC, Happy Owl Operations

of Pittsburgh #1, Happy Owl of York, Inc., Happy Owl of Chesterfield, L.C. (S-Corp),
5
and P.P. J. C., L.C., or any related business entities or properties. As of the date of this
Agreement, Elena further agrees that, in the event of a separation or a divorce
proceeding, she shall not have any right to receive any interest whatsoever in said
entities. Elena specifically acknowledges that, in the event of a divorce proceedings, she
shall not have any right to receive any ownership or security interest in the business.

employee earning such benefits. This provision shall apply to all company contributions and all
individual contributions to said benefit plans. The parties agree that under no circumstances and
in no event shall any such benefits earned prior to marriage (or increase in value of such
benefits) be the property of the other party of marital property subject to any claims for equitable
distribution. Where necessary in order to implement this provision, the other party hereby agrees
to sign any and all necessary waivers, consents or other documents required by the employer in
order for the party who is the employee to receive the full benefits of this paragraph.

at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055 for which he has purchased a lot for
$160,000 on which to build and signed a construction contract for $525,000. The parties agree

equity therein, including the increase in equity during the marriage, shall remain Jim's separate,
non-marital property.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other state or jurisdiction.

is considered marital property to be divided equitably by the Court upon request by one of the
parties and that other states have similar laws. With such understanding, the parties by this
o
?
AI,
7
Agreement, specifically agree to waive the foregoing presumption in favor of the provisions set
forth in this Agreement and to waive the right to have a court equitably divide such property.

parties are married and living together as husband and wife, then the entire interest in the joint
marital property and separate, non-marital property of the deceased spouse as defined by this

claims by the estate of the deceased spouse, unless the parties had provided otherwise in a
separate written agreement or agreements signed by both parties. As to any and all items of joint
marital property that are made the subject of such a separate written agreement or agreements,
the provisions of those agreements shall be controlling as to each and every item of jointly
owned property.
17. Death During Separation. In the event the parties are separated (other than for
health reasons) or a divorce proceeding has been instituted by either party at the time of death,
then only the joint marital property shall be divided equally between the parties in accordance
8
with Paragraph 11. The parties' separate, non-marital property as defined by this Agreement

CIVIL ACTION -DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF'S SECOND AMENDED' PETITION FOR EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION OF
RESIDENCE AND OTHER SPECIAL RELIEF PURSUANT TO Pa. R.Civ.P. 1920.43
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, James E. Cornett, III, by and through his counsel, Serratelli,
Schiffman, Brown & Calhoon, P.C., and files his Petition for Exclusive Possession of Residence
Pursuant to §3502(c) of the Divorce Code and Pa. R.Civ. P.1920.43 and in support thereof avers
as follows:
Petitioner is James E. Cornett. III, the Plaintiff in the above divorce action, who
resides at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
17050.
2. Respondent is Olena Vladimirovna Narovska Cornett, the Defendant in the
divorce action, who is currently residing at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
' This amended filing is necessitated by correspondence from the Administrative Coordinator, dated January 20,
2009.
Petitioner and Respondent were married on June 18, 2004 in Allison Park,
Pennsylvania.
4. The Parties separated on November 30, 2008 despite the fact that are currently
living in the same residence.
5. Petitioner filed the above captioned divorce action on December 22, 2008.
Facts Supporting Motion for Exclusive Possession
6. Prior to the Parties' marriage, the Parties executed a Prenuptial Agreement dated
May 14, 2004. A true and correct copy of the Prenuptial Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A."
7. Pursuant to Exhibit "B" of the Prenuptial Agreement, the residence located at 542
Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (hereinafter
"Lucinda Lane Property") is identified as Petitioner's sole and exclusive non-
marital property.
On or about November 30, 2008, certain events transpired which necessitated
Petitioner's filing of a Petition for Protection from Abuse (hereinafter "PFA")
against Respondent on behalf of himself and the Parties' two (2) minor children.
9. On December 3, 2008, the Court issued Petitioner a Temporary Protection from
Abuse Order against Respondent on behalf of the Petitioner and the Parties' two
minor children.
10. On or about December 9, 2008, Respondent retaliated against Petitioner for filing
a PFA Action against her by filing her own PFA Petition against Petitioner. In
her Petition, Respondent alleged inter alia that she was so "fearful" of Petitioner
that she had to flee the marital residence with the Parties' two minor children and
take up residence in a local women's shelter.
11. On or about December 9, 2008, the Court issued a Temporary Protection from
Abuse Order against Petitioner.
12. A hearing was held on the two (2) Temporary Protection from Abuse Orders on
December 12, 2008.
13. On December 15, 2008, the Court issued an Order dissolving the Temporary
Order as it pertained to Respondent and vacating the Temporary Protection Order
issued against Petitioner and replacing it with the following Order:
[Petitioner] shall not abuse, stalk, harass, threaten or attempt
to use physical force that would reasonably be expected to cause
bodily injury to Olena Vladimirovna Cornett
14. The Court issued a second Order on December 15, 2008 setting forth a specific
period of time for Petitioner to have visitation at the Lucinda Lane residence with
the two minor children.
15. On or about December 25, 2008, Respondent determined that she wanted to return
to the Lucinda Lane Property and obtained Petitioner's consent to return to the
same based on her claims that she wanted to "get back together with Petitioner
and start marriage counseling."
16. Despite her stated intentions of "wanting to resume her residence at the Lucinda
Lane Property so that she could get back together with Petitioner and start
marriage counseling," Respondent has refused to withdraw her PFA action
against the Petitioner stating that she wants to leave it in place for "leverage."
17. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property on December 25, 2008, Respondent
has continued to berate Petitioner and subject him to physical and verbal attacks-
some of which have taken place in front of the children.
18. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has taken up residence
in a guest bedroom and/or a child's bedroom and has repeatedly requested that
Petitioner "take a mistress."
19. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has repeatedly
threatened that she will "call the police" if Petitioner does not do exactly as she
says or does not meet Respondent's demands.
20. Since returning to the Lucinda Lane Property, Respondent has carried on a course
of conduct whereby she has "trashed" the house. Specifically, Respondent is
refusing to clean up after herself and is creating waste within the house. When
asked to clean up the mess, Respondent has essentially told Petitioner that it is
"his problem" and that if he insists on her cleaning up the mess that "she will call
the police based on her PFA."
21. Petitioner has repeatedly requested that Respondent leave the Lucinda Lane
Property and has reminded her that he has already provided her with written
notice to vacate the same in accordance with the terms of the Prenuptial
Agreement through her prior counsel, Attorney Grace D'Alo on December 18,
2008.2 Despite Petitioner's requests, Respondent has failed and otherwise has
refused to vacate the marital residence.
22. Respondent has advised Petitioner that she is "bringing in her mother from the
Ukraine on January 14, 2009 to live with Petitioner and Respondent at the
z Upon information and belief, and based on statements from Respondent, Respondent is now a pro se litigant.
Lucinda Lane Property" despite the fact that Respondent has been provided with
written notice to vacate the premises in accordance with the terms of Paragraph
19 of the Prenuptial Agreement and despite the fact that Petitioner has expressly
stated that he does not want Respondent's mother living at the Property.
23. Petitioner has recently discovered that Respondent used his business credit card
without his authorization or approval to purchase an airline ticket for her mother
to travel to the United States from the Ukraine.
24. Petitioner is being held hostage in his own home by virtue of the fact that
Respondent will not leave the same- this despite the fact that she represented to
this Court, both in sworn pleadings and via live sworn testimony in Court on
December 12, 2008, that she was "afraid of Petitioner." Petitioner would further
request that this Honorable Court take judicial notice of the fact that when
specifically questioned by the Court on December 12, 2008 whether she intended
to return to the "marital" residence and reconcile with Petitioner, Respondent
answered in the negative.
The Court Should Award Petitioner Exclusive Possession of the Lucinda Lane
Property
25. The averments set forth in paragraphs 1-24 are incorporated by reference as if
more fully set forth at length herein.
26. As previously stated herein, the Parties' Prenuptial Agreement clearly and
unequivocally defines the Lucinda Lane property as Petitioner's pre-marital/non-
marital property.
27. 23 Pa. C.S. §3502(c) provides:
(c) Family Home. The court may award, during the pendency of the
action or otherwise, to one or both of the parties the right to reside
in the marital residence.
28. Pursuant to Section 3502(c) of the Divorce Code, the court has the authority to
grant Petitioner the right to reside in the marital residence during the pendency of
the instant divorce proceedings, to the exclusion of Respondent.
29. Petitioner asks the Court to exercise its equitable powers and direct that Petitioner
be awarded exclusive possession of the marital residence and Respondent be
enjoined from entering unto the real property.
30. Petitioner asks the Court to enforce the terms and conditions of the Parties'
Prenuptial Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
Facts Supporting Supplemental Request for Special Relief Under Pa. R.Civ. P.
1920.43
31. The averments set forth in paragraphs 1-30 are incorporated by reference as if
more fully set forth at length herein.
32. Pa. R. Civ. P. 1920.43 provides that on petition setting forth facts entitling the
party to relief, the court may grant other appropriate relief.
33. In light of the fact that Respondent has now forced her way back into the Lucinda
Lane Property (despite the fact that she previously provided testimony to the
Court that she was fearful for her safety), the Court should immediately vacate the
modified Protection From Abuse Order that was issued on December 15, 2008.
34. In light of the fact that Respondent made false sworn statements to the Court for
the purposes of securing a PFA Order against Petitioner which resulted in
Petitioner having to defend himself against such claim, Petitioner requests that the
Court award him his counsel fees and costs associated with the defense of the
PFA claims that were brought against him by Respondent.
35. In light of the fact that counsel has not entered an appearance on behalf of
Respondent, Petitioner presumes that Respondent does not concur in this Motion.
36. This matter has previously been assigned the Honorable Edgar B. Bayley.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, James E. Cornett, III, respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to enter an Order:
A. Immediately vacating the December 15, 2008, PFA Order
issued against Petitioner;
B. Directing Respondent, Olena Vladimirovna Narovska Cornett
to remove herself from the real estate located at 542 Lucinda
Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
within twenty-four (24) hours of the date of this Order of
Court;
C. Awarding exclusive possession and use of the Lucinda Lane
Property, to Petitioner James E. Cornett, III pursuant to the
Parties' Prenuptial Agreement and pursuant to 23 Pa. C.S.
§3502(c), thereby enjoining Respondent from entering onto
said Property;
D. Directing Respondent to pay Petitioner's counsel fees and costs
associated with the defense against Respondent's false PFA
claims against him in an amount not less than $1,500.00; and
E. Further award Petitioner all such other relief as is proper and
just.
Respectfully submitted,

(1) General Rule. Except as set forth in subparagraphs A(2) and A(3)
below, this provision shall apply to all property that is titled, such as stock, motor
vehicles, bank accounts, certificates of deposit, investment accounts, real estate
and the like. The ownership of all such titled property for all purposes, including
for the purpose of determining whether the property is marital property or the
separate property of one or the other of the parties, shall be determined by the
name or names in which the property is titled. Thus, if the property is held in the
4
I 1 . •
joint names of Jim and Elena, the property shall be deemed for all purposes to be
joint marital property and owned equally by both and shall be so divided in the
event of sale, separation, commencement of divorce proceedings or a divorce
between the parties. If the property is held individually in the name of one of the
parties, that party shall be deemed the sole and exclusive owner of the property,
and said property and any increase in value of such property or any property
acquired in exchange for such property shall be and remain the sole and separate
property of the party in whose name it is titled. With respect to such property
titled individually in the name of either Jim or Elena, the provisions of Paragraph
5 above shall apply to the extent the property is titled in the name of Elena and I v
the provisions of Paragraph 6 shall apply to the extent the property is titled in the '
name of Jim.
B. Non-Titled Property. All non-titled items, including furniture and
household goods, shall be deemed joint marital property unless made the subject of a
separate written agreement signed by both parties. If the non-titled property is made the
subject of a separate written agreement, then the provisions of such separate written
agreement shall control as to the rights in and to such property.
C. Special Provisions for Business Properties. The following special
provisions shall apply with regard to any interest that Jim has in any business entity
currently owned by Jim, specifically Cornett Hospitality, LLC, Happy Owl Operations
Corp. of Richmond #l, Topeka Steakhouse & Saloon, Inc., Happy Owl Operations Corp.
of Pittsburgh #l, Happy Owl of York, Inc., Happy Owl of Chesterfield, L.C. (S-Corp),
5
1 . . 4 .
and P.P. J. C., L.C., or any related business entities or properties. As of the date of this
Agreement, Elena further agrees that, in the event of a separation or a divorce
proceeding, she shall not have any right to receive any interest whatsoever in said
entities. Elena specifically acknowledges that, in the event of a divorce proceedings, she
shall not have any right to receive any ownership or security interest in the business.
8. Retirement Benefits. The parties agree that any and all retirement benefits earned
prior to marriage shall be the sole and separate property of the party who was and is the
employee earning such benefits. This provision shall apply to all company contributions and all
individual contributions to said benefit plans. The parties agree that under no circumstances and
in no event shall any such benefits earned prior to marriage (or increase in value of such
benefits) be the property of the other party of marital property subject to any claims for equitable
distribution. Where necessary in order to implement this provision, the other party hereby agrees
to sign any and all necessary waivers, consents or other documents required by the employer in
order for the party who is the employee to receive the full benefits of this paragraph.
9. Marital Residence. Jim and Elena acknowledge that Jim is building a new home
at 542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055 for which he has purchased a lot for
$160,000 on which to build and signed a construction contract for $525,000. The parties agree
that any equity in said residence shall constitute Jim's separate, non-marital property. In the
event the house is sold and a new marital residence is purchased with proceeds from the sale of
542 Lucinda Lane, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, all proceeds from 542 Lucinda Lane,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania shall be Jim's separate non-marital property. If Jim uses said
proceeds to purchase another marital residence, said proceeds invested in the new real estate
0, N, -
6
I • . J
shall continue to be Jim's separate, non-marital investment into said residence, even if the new
residence is titled in joint names.
10. Condominium. Jim and Elena acknowledge that Jim owns a condominium at
9813 Three Degree Road, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15101 with a fair market value of $170,000
and mortgage lien of $100,000, with equity of $70,000. The parties agree said condo and all
equity therein, including the increase in equity during the marriage, shall remain Jim's separate,
non-marital property.
11. Equitable Distribution. In the event of an annulment or separation, or in the event
of the commencement of divorce proceedings or a divorce between the parties, any and all joint
marital property as defined in this Agreement shall be divided equally between the parties
hereto. Any property that is herein agreed to be the separate property of Jim or the separate
property of Elena under this Agreement shall, in such event, be and remain the separate property
of the party entitled to it under this Agreement.
12. Jim and Elena both acknowledge and confirm that the property settlement set
forth herein shall be in lieu of any and all other rights of the parties under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other state or jurisdiction.
13. The parties hereby acknowledge that they understand that the applicable
provisions of Title 23, Domestic Relations, of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, as
amended, impose a presumption that all property acquired during the marriage (including any
increase in value of gifts or inheritances received during the marriage or of property owned prior
to marriage) is marital property under the statute and that in the event of a divorce such property
is considered marital property to be divided equitably by the Court upon request by one of the
parties and that other states have similar laws. With such understanding, the parties by this
o?
7
Agreement, specifically agree to waive the foregoing presumption in favor of the provisions set
forth in this Agreement and to waive the right to have a court equitably divide such property.
14. Spousal Support, Alimony Pendente Lite, and Alimony. In the event of a
separation, commencement of divorce proceedings or a divorce between the parties, Elena
waives any and all right to receive support in the form of spousal support, separate maintenance,
alimony pendente lite or alimony under the laws of Pennsylvania or any other jurisdiction.
15. Child Support. In the event children are born of the marriage between Jim and
Elena (or adopted), nothing in this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the child or
children's rights to child support in the event of a separation or divorce. Elena shall have all
rights that exist under law to obtain child support on behalf of any child or children of the parties
provided she is either the primary physical or shared physical custodian of said child or children.
16. Death During Marriage. In the event of the death of one of the parties while the
parties are married and living together as husband and wife, then the entire interest in the joint
marital property and separate, non-marital property of the deceased spouse as defined by this
Agreement shall be and become the sole separate property of the surviving spouse, free of all
claims by the estate of the deceased spouse, unless the parties had provided otherwise in a
separate written agreement or agreements signed by both parties. As to any and all items of joint
marital property that are made the subject of such a separate written agreement or agreements,
the provisions of those agreements shall be controlling as to each and every item of jointly
owned property.
17. Death During Separation. In the event the parties are separated (other than for
health reasons) or a divorce proceeding has been instituted by either party at the time of death,
then only the joint marital property shall be divided equally between the parties in accordance
8
with Paragraph 11. The parties' separate, non-marital property as defined by this Agreement
shall remain their separate property free and clear of any claim under the 1980 Divorce Code of
Pennsylvania, as amended, and the Probate, Estate and Fiduciary Code of Pennsylvania, by the
other party or party's estate.
18. Family Heirlooms. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the
parties hereto agree that any family heirlooms that either party has received or may be in the
future receive from their respective families shall, in the event of the death of either party or in
the event of any annulment, separation or divorce of the parties, remain in or be returned to the
family providing the heirloom or heirlooms in the first instance.
19. Notice of Separation. In the event either party wishes to separate, he or she shall
deliver a letter in writing stating their desire to live separate and apart. In such instance, the
parties agree that Elena shall vacate the marital residence within a reasonable period of time, but
no longer than six (6) months from issuance or receipt o a letter of separation.
20. In order to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
authorizes the other to act as his or her attorney-in-fact in the making, execution and delivery of
any and all deeds, conveyances, transfers of any real or personal property, or spouse's consent to
waiver of rights under qualified ERISA plans in order that thereby the joinder of such other
party, if necessary, may be made freely and without restraint; and each party shall, upon request
of the other, join in the making, execution and delivery of any such instruments that are
necessary to effectuate the purposes and intentions of the parties under this Agreement.
21. Each party agrees and understands, covenants and warrants that he or she has had
full opportunity to consult with counsel and to obtain any and all other information that he or she
may desire with regard to his or her rights or potential rights as Jim or Elena. Furthermore,
9
