PETITION TO BllwURCATE AND GRANT FINAL DECREE IN DIVORCE

Esquire of REAGER & ADLER, PC, and files the within petition to bifurcate and receive a final
grant of divorce:
2.
3.
4.
The Petitioner is LORI L. RUNK, original Plaintiff in this case.
The Respondent is MICHAEL S. RUNK, original Defendant in this case.
The divorce was filed November 29, 2001.
The parties have signed Affidavits of Consent and Waiver of Notice and intend to
file them with the court.
The parties have each signed a Stipulation for Bifurcation and both desire a
bifurcated divorce to be granted. (The original Stipulation for Bifurcation is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A")
There is no reason for the parties to remain married to each other.
The property claims of the parties will not be affected by a final decree in divorce
at this time.
It would appear that the proper and just thing to do would be to award a divorce
decree at this time.
9. The court should grant this bifurcation and enter a final decree of divorce in this
case.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner Lori Runk respectfully prays that this court enter an immediate
bifurcated decree of divorce and retain jurisdiction over the equitable distribution claims of the
parties.
