vs.
SUSAN Y. DIETRICH,

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
No. 09 - 695 Civil Term
ACTION IN DIVORCE
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
1. Defendant/Petitioner is Susan Y. Dietrich, (hereinafter referred to as "Wife") a
competent adult individual, who has resided at 114 Lesher Road, Newburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17240, since 1978.
2. Plaintiff/Respondent is William F. Dietrich, (hereinafter referred to as
"Husband"), a competent adult individual, who resides at 102 Oregon Street,
Mercersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, 17236.
3. The Plaintiff and the Defendant were married on October 23, 1971.
4. The parties separated on or about January 1, 2007. Wife has remained in
the marital home, which consists of a dairy farm and includes 97.51 acres.
5. Wife is in the business of dairy farming on the marital property.
6. Wife is in possession of a 1993 Dodge pick-up truck and a stock trailer, which
is used in the course of her daily business. It is also the only vehicle Wife has for
personal use. The Dodge pick-up truck and trailer are titled in Husband's name,
however are marital property, as they were purchased during the marriage.
7. The truck is instrumental in transporting feed, picking up parts, and supplies,
hauling stock to market and pulling the horse trailer.
8. The inspection and registration on the truck is due to expire in April 2009.
9. In April 2008, the truck was at the mechanic for repairs. Husband went to the
mechanic, took the vehicle, and refused to return it for a period of time, which had a
serious negative impact on Wife's ability to run the farm.
10. Husband is currently in possession of the registration card for the truck, and
Wife is extremely concerned that Husband will not cooperate having the truck inspected
and with renewing the registration on the truck.
11. The truck is only worth approximately $5000, which is a tiny fraction of the
value of the marital estate.
12. Husband does not need the truck, because after he left the marital home, he
purchased a BMW in December 2007.
13. Section 3323(f) of the Divorce Code states that:
"In all matrimonial cases, the court shall have full equity power and
jurisdiction and may issue injunctions or other orders which are necessary
to protect the interest of the parties or to effectuate the purposes of this
part and may grant such other relief or remedy as equity and justice
requires against either party or against any third person over whom the
court has jurisdiction and who is involved in or concerned with the
disposition of the cause."
14. Wife is requesting sole and exclusive ownership of the truck and trailer,
which are essential in order for her to continue her dairy farm.
f?+
15. Unless Wife is awarded exclusive possession of the vehicle and trailer, the
condition of the marital estate may deteriorate, as Wife will have to interrupt her farming
if Husband again refuses to return the vehicle.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner/Wife requests this Honorable Court to grant her sole
and exclusive possession of the truck and trailer.
Respectfully submitted,

IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: We have taken a recess to allow
counsel an opportunity to discuss some matters, and the
Master has been advised that we are not going to need to
continue today with additional testimony, but they are going
to put something on the record. We may, however, have to
reschedule this case to continue the testimony if the matter
is not otherwise resolved. Mr. Shade.
MR. SHADE: The parties agree that the
husband's share of equitable distribution will be
$265,000.00. If the remainder of the agreement that will be
recited here falls through, then that stipulation will no
longer be in effect because it will mean that the assets
will have to be sold, and if the assets have to be sold,
then the net marital estate will be divided equally between
the parties.
The wife will also pay an additional
$15,000.00 in reimbursement to husband for his payment of
marital debt from non-marital funds after the date of
separation.
By January 30, 2011, wife will pay husband
1
$75,000.00. By April 15, 2011, wife will pay the additional
$205,000.00 to husband and refinance the marital debt. If
wife does not perform any one of those three obligations,
the livestock will be scheduled for immediate sale by
auction. If the parties are unable to obtain a private
purchaser for at least the amount of wife's appraised value
that can be consummated within thirty (30) days of wife's
default, whichever default that may be or whichever date
that may be.
If the wife does not perform any of her
obligations, the farm equipment will be sold, including the
dodge truck. Husband will not make an issue over any cheese
equipment or cheese inventory.
If the parties can obtain a private purchaser
of the farm by May 15, 2011, for at least the amount of the
stipulated value, the farm will be sold to that purchaser.
If the parties cannot sell the farm by May 15, 2011, for at
least the amount of the stipulated value, the farm will be
listed for $775,000.00. If the farm has to be listed with a
realtor because of the lack of a private purchaser, the
parties will accept any offer of at least $600,000.00.
If the wife does perform all of her
obligations under this agreement, of course, the farm and
the livestock and all the farm equipment will become her
property.
2
If assets are sold, the net marital estate
will be divided equally as mentioned above and if a breach
occurs after husband has received the $75,000.00, he will be
charged with receipt of that $75,000.00 in equitable
distribution.
The credit cards that are in husband's name
will need to be paid in full, and we will cooperate with
wife and her counsel to enable them to obtain payoff
figures. We will not engage in any negotiation of debt
forgiveness on any of those cards because that would further
negatively impact the husband's credit. Wife can do
whatever she wants to do with the credit cards that are in
her name alone but if there are any income tax consequences
as a result of any forgiveness of any of the credit cards in
