MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made this Z day of ALI v5 F , 2010, by and
between LYNN ALLEN COBB, (hereinafter referred to as "WIFE ") and ALLAN
FRANK COBB, (hereinafter referred to as "HUSBAND ").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, HUSBAND and WIFE were lawfully married on September 29,
1984, in Ellicott City, Maryland, and separated in June 2008. WIFE filed a Divorce
Action in Potter County, Pennsylvania, on November 18, 2008, docketed at 2008 -6010
Civil Term. The Complaint filed in Potter County, Pennsylvania was thereafter
withdrawn and a Complaint in Divorce was filed by Wife in Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania on February 18, 2009, docketed at 2009 -990 Civil Term.
The parties hereto agree and covenant as follows:
1.
The parties intend to maintain separate and permanent domiciles and to live apart
from each other. It is the intent and purpose of this Agreement to set forth the respective
rights and duties of the parties while they continue to live apart from each other.
2.
The parties have attempted to divide their marital property in a manner which
conforms to a just and right standard, with due regard to the rights of each party. It is the
intent of the parties that such division shall be final and shall forever determine their
respective rights. The division of existing marital property is not intended by the parties
to constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets.
Page 1 of 14
3.
Further, the parties agree to continue living separately and apart from the other at
any place or places that he or she may select as they have heretofore been doing. Neither
party shall molest, harass, annoy, injure, threaten or interfere with the other party in any
manner whatsoever. Each party may carry on and engage in any employment, profession,
business or other activity as he or she may deem advisable for his or her sole use and
benefit. Neither party shall interfere with the uses, ownership, enjoyment or disposition
of any property now owned and not specified herein nor property hereafter acquired by the
other.
4.
The consideration for this contract and agreement is the mutual benefit to be
obtained by both of the parties hereto and the covenants and agreements of each of the
parties to the other. The adequacy of the consideration for all agreements herein
contained is stipulated, confessed, and admitted by the parties, and the parties intend to be
legally bound hereby.
Each party to the Agreement acknowledges and declares that he or she,
respectively:
a. is represented by counsel of his or her own choosing;
b. is fully and completely informed of the facts relating to the subject
matter of this Agreement and of the rights and liabilities of the parties;
c. enters into this Agreement voluntarily after receiving the advice of
counsel;

e. has carefully read each provision of this Agreement; and
f. fully and completely understands each provision of this Agreement,
both as to the subject matter and legal effect.
This Agreement shall become effective immediately as of the date of execution.
5.

interest and obligations of the parties in all property that they own separately, and all
property that would qualify as marital property under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, Title
23, Section 3501, and that is referred to in this Agreement as "Marital Property",
between themselves, their heirs and assigns. The parties have attempted to divide their
Marital Property in a manner that conforms to a just and fair standard, with due regard to
the rights of each Party. The division of existing Marital Property is not intended by the
parties to constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets, and the division is being
effected without the introduction of outside funds or other property not constituting a part
of the marital estate.
It is the further purpose of this Agreement to settle forever and completely any
obligation under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code or any other law relating to the past,
present and future support, alimony and/or maintenance of WIFE by HUSBAND or of
HUSBAND by WIFE and in general, the settling of any and all claims and possible claims
by one against the other or against their respective estates.

pledge, lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance, or restriction to which any property is
subject. Each party further represents that he or she has made a full and fair disclosure of
all debts and obligations of any nature for which he or she is currently liable or may
become liable. Each further represents and warrants that he or she has not made any gifts
or transfers for inadequate consideration of Marital Property without the prior consent of

I have been retained by Allan Cobb to communicate with you regarding the refinance of the
former marital residence, as is required under your Marriage Settlement Agreement dated
August 2, 2010. Although there is no deadline for the refinancing to occur, three years have
elapsed. We hereby request that you refinance the joint liens on the property within 90 days, or we
will be forced to file a petition to compel your compliance with the Marriage Settlement
Agreement. If you are unable to refinance, the court may direct you to list the property for sale. The
deed has already been recorded and transferred to your name alone which should not have been done
until the time of refinancing. Mr. Cobb has followed through on his obligations, and expects you
will do the same in the time period requested in this letter.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please have your attorney contact me.
Very truly yours,

Allen Cobb, by and through her attorney, Sean M. Shultz, Esquire, and files the following
Answer and New Matter to Petition to Enforce Marriage Settlement Agreement and in
support thereof aver as follows:
Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3 Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.

& Rogers

Respondent has not yet refinanced the mortgage into her name alone. It is denied, as
implied by Paragraph 8 of the Petition, that Respondent must do anything more than
make good faith, reasonable efforts to refinance the mortgage "as soon as possible" based
upon the terms of the Agreement.
9. It is denied that this Honorable Court has the authority per the terms of the
Agreement to order Respondent to refinance the joint liability on the marital residence or
to order that the house be listed for sale because those are not the terms of the Agreement
and the benefit of the bargain reached by the parties.
10. Admitted.
11. It is admitted that Respondent held such a belief.
NEW MATTER
12. Paragraphs 1 through 11 are incorporated by reference.
13. Respondent had no control over the recording of the quit claim deed by
Petitioner's previous legal counsel.
14. At the time of the recording of the quit claim deed by his counsel,
Petitioner was under no obligation to have the quit claim deed recorded and could have
refused to do so.
15. During the marriage, Respondent had put her career on hold in order to
raise the parties' family.
16. Petitioner was aware that it would take Respondent several years to
complete her schooling and increase her income sufficiently enough to qualify to
refinance the mortgage into her name alone.

17. Respondent has made reasonable effort to refinance the mortgage.
18. In 2012, Respondent sought to refinance the mortgage as evidenced by the
email confirmation she received from Foundation Financial Group. The email is attached
hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A.
19. Respondent's application through Foundation Financial Group was
eventually rejected due to Respondent's financial circumstances and due to the lack of a
guarantee of continued alimony for a period of three years from the date of the
application.
20. In 2013, Respondent began to seek financing to refinance the mortgage
through the mortgage broker, Foote Capital. An email exchange between Respondent
and Foote Capital is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B.
21. Respondent has been advised by Foote Capital that due to appraisal
requirements she will not be able to qualify for financing until work is completed on the
installation of a radiant heating system in the home, which Respondent had initiated due
to a lack of adequate heating in some zones of the house. A copy of an email exchange
Respondent and Foote Capital is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C.
22. The installer of the radiant heating system was injured, and the work on
the system has been delayed.
23. Respondent plans to work with Foote Capital to refinance the mortgage as
soon as the radiant heating system work is completed.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Respondent requests that this Honorable Court dismiss
Petitioner's Petition to Enforce Marriage Settlement Agreement.

Hi Stephanie,
Yes, I do want to do the refinance. I think I survived the class - don't have a grade yet. Pulled an all-nighter
to finish before we left for the beach. It was the craziest class workwise that I have ever taken. I am sure it
was a "weed out" class. Am at the beach now and will be back on Friday. Next week, my best day to see
you is Tuesday (anytime). I can also come on Monday, Wed., or Thurs., after 3:30.
School years completed: About 17 years (bachelor's plus some master's classes)
House: Closed on it at end of June 2004 - actually moved in during August, but was ours at end of June
CATU: Went full time in October of 2008.
I have looked over the paper you sent me, and I believe I can have all of that information for you by next
week.
See you when I get back, and thanks so much for trying,
Lynn

Shaun,
A late answer to your question... My house was quite warm this winter, so my heat worked well. For
refinancing purposes, though, it is still incomplete. Due to the main installer breaking his leg, we got
behind schedule. However, I do think that I will be ready to try at the end of the summer, and plan
on coming to see you when ready.
Thanks,
Lynn Cobb

I remember when we spoke last in September you were still completing your radiant heating installation, but wanted to

PETITIONER'S RESPONSE TO RESPONDENT'S NEW MATTER
AND NOW, COMES the Petitioner, by and through his counsel, Jennifer Spears
Brenize, Esquire, and the Law Offices of Peter J. Russo, P.C., and avers the following in
support of his response to Respondent's New Matter:
12. Denied. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure do not require a
response to the averments contained in this paragraph.
13. Admitted.
14. Admitted in Part and Denied in Part. It is admitted that Petitioner was
under no obligation to have the quit claim deed recorded, but it is denied that Petitioner
was able to refuse to have the quit claim deed recorded because he was not aware that
legal counsel was going to record the deed until after it was recorded; therefore, he was
unable to refuse.
15. Admitted with clarification. It is admitted that during the marriage,
Respondent put her career on hold in order to raise the parties' family. By way of further
answer, this factor was considered by the parties in reaching the agreement set forth in
their Marriage Settlement Agreement, and Petitioner had taken this into account before
filing his Petition to Enforce Marriage Settlement Agreement. Moreover, it has been
almost 4 years since the Agreement was entered into, which is more than a reasonable
amount of time for Respondent to have refinanced.
16. Admitted with clarification. It is admitted that Petitioner was aware that it
would take Respondent several years to complete her schooling and increase her income
sufficiently enough to qualify to refinance the mortgage into her name alone. By way of
further answer, Petitioner had taken this into account before filing his Petition to Enforce
Marriage Settlement Agreement. Moreover, it has been almost 4 years since the
Agreement was entered into, which is more than a reasonable amount of time for
Respondent to have refinanced. Petitioner has no information as to the completion or
progress of Respondent's schooling.
17. Denied. Specific proof thereof is demanded at trial. To the extent which an
answer is required, Petitioner is without sufficient knowledge or information to form a
belief as to the truth of Respondent's averment.
18. Denied. Specific proof thereof is demanded at trial. To the extent that an
answer is required, even with the attached exhibit, Petitioner is without sufficient
knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of Respondent's averment.
19. Denied. Specific proof thereof is demanded at trial. To the extent that an
answer is required, Petitioner is without sufficient knowledge or information to form a
belief as to the truth of Respondent's averment.
20. Denied. Specific proof thereof is demanded at trial. To the extent that an
answer is required, even with the attached exhibit, Petitioner is without sufficient
knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of Respondent's averment.
21. Denied. Specific proof thereof is demanded at trial. To the extent that an
answer is required, even with the attached exhibit, Petitioner is without sufficient
knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of Respondent's averment.
22. Denied. Petitioner is without sufficient knowledge or information to form a
belief as to the truth of Respondent's averment.
23. Denied. Petitioner is without sufficient knowledge or information to form a

states in part: "Wife shall receive 44% per month from Husband's military
retirement as Wife's sole and separate property, payable from Husband's
disposable retired or retainer pay, and Wife shall further receive 44% of any
future cost of living increases in said retirement retainer pay, computed from
the gross sum thereof.
7. Defendant/Petitioner believes, and therefore avers, that Plaintiff/Respondent
has been cohabiting with Mr. Steven T. Lee.
8. 23 Pa.C.S.A. §3706 of the Divorce Code states: "No petitioner is entitled to
receive an award of alimony where the petitioner, subsequent to the divorce
pursuant to which alimony is being sought, has entered into cohabitation with a
person of the opposite sex who is not a member of the family of the petitioner
within the degrees of consanguinity."
9. Since the Agreement clearly states that alimony can be modified or terminated
as provided under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, Defendant/Petitioner
believes, and therefore avers, that alimony should be terminated due to
Plaintiff's/Respondent's cohabitation, and/or modified due to such other reasons
that may appear after discovery, should Defendant's Motion for Leave of Court
to Conduct Discovery be granted.
10. Defendant/Petitioner will contemporaneously file a Motion for Leave of Court
to Conduct Discovery along with this Petition.
11. Should Defendant/Petitioner be granted adequate time to conduct discovery,
Defendant/Petitioner respectfully requests that upon completion of discovery, a
hearing be scheduled in regard to this matter.
12. Pursuant to Cumberland County Local Rule 208.3(a)(2), it is the assertion of
undersigned counsel that the Honorable M. L. Ebert, Jr. is the only judge to
have ruled on this matter.
13. Pursuant to Cumberland County Local Rule 208.3(a)(9), Counsel for
Defendant/Petitioner contacted Counsel for Plaintiff/Respondent regarding the
within Petition, and to date, Counsel for Plaintiff/Respondent has yet to
respond as to whether or not they concur with our request.
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Petitioner requests this Honorable Court schedule a
hearing in Courtroom 2 of the Cumberland County Courthouse, Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
