IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, May 11, 2004.
This is the date set for a hearinq~ to take testimony from
realtors regarding the suggested value for property at 11~
Wildflower Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Previously we had
discussions with the parties and counsel, and the Master
went to the property to view the premises and site. We then
scheduled this hearing after the parties got additional
appraisals. The Master has been adv±sed after considerable
discussion that the parties have agreed to stipulate to a
value to avoid the necessity of kaving all the realtors
testify and the Master make a finding with the potential for
disagreement ultimately on the Master's finding after
picking one of the four suggested values.
Consequently, today since we have a
stipulation on the value of the real es=ate, counsel are
going to put a statement on the record which ultimately will
be incorporated'into a final mari-lal settlement agreement.
Essentially the statement today will set forth the parties'
stipulated value as to the real estate and the liens against
the property which are to be subsequently verified as to the
numbers put on the record with respect to the mortgage and
the home equity loan.
Counsel are also going to state on the record
what they intend to do with regard to any outstanding issues
that need to be resolved; namely, the personalty value.
Counsel will set forth a plan in order to try to resolve
that issue. In any event, by May 28, 2004, the Master will
either have in his possession a final marital settlement
agreement signed by the parties or will be advised that
there is an issue with respect to the value and disposition
of personalty which we will then have to be addressed at
another conference or hearing.
The stipulation that is going to be placed on
the record today will be binding on the parties and counsel
and will be used as the basis for the final comprehensive
agreement.
Present in the hearing room are the
Plaintiff, Tamara J. alike, and her counsel John F. King,
and the Defendant, Andrew E. Slike, and his counsel Debra A.
Denison Cantor.
The parties were married on February 13,
1982, and separated November of 2001. They are the natural
parents of three children.
The Master assumes that the parties are going
2
to conclud~ the divorce under the no-fault provisions of the
Domestic Relat±ons Code and, there:fore, directs that the
parties file affidavits and waivers on or before May 28,
2004, so the divorce can go forward to conclusion under
Section 3301(c). Mr. King.
MR. KING: After e;~tensive discussions
between counsel and after extensive discussions of each of
the parties here today, Tamara J. Slike and A~drew E. Slike
with their respective counsel, there has been some
agreements which we are going to place on the record and
indicate as a stipulation of each party to those terms for
the eventual preparation of a marital settlement agreement
which will incorporate these terms.
1. There is an agreement that the value of the marital
residence will be placed at $375,000.00.
2. There is an agreement that tlhe distribution of the
marital estate will be a 55% distribution to wife and a
45% distribution to husband.
3. In addition to the distribution which will eventually
be calculated on the marital residence there will be an
additional $550.00 credited to Mrs. Slike which constitutes
some certain sums that came from a home equity loan which
were not utilLzed for the marriage.
4. The parties have determined and agreed that the only
aseets that are at issue in this marital estate are the
marital residence as well as personalty. They have agreed
and so stipulate that there are no other issues relating to
retirement plans, 401(k) s, bank accounts or alimony, spousal
support o~ anything of the like. There is a specific waiver
by both parties for any claim for alimony, alimony pendente
lite, or any future maintenance from each other.
5. Both parties have agreed that they will be responsible
3
for their own attorney fees.
6. Tke only remaining issue then is that of personalty.
The parties agree that at the time of separation Mrs. Slike
removed certain items of personalty from the home and also
agree that certain items of personalty were left a= the
home. The'parties have agreed zhey will retain the services
of an appraiser and the appraisal company is Ibis Appraisals
from Carlisle and that they will each arrange to have all of
the personalty in each of their respective homes appraised
by that individual no later than Friday, May 21, 2004. Upon
review of the report from that appraiser, the parties,
through their counsel, will either reach a final agreement
as to the distribution of the personalty or if they are
unable to do that by May 28, 2004,, they will so inform the
Master and have that issue resolved by way of a subsequent
conference or hearing.
MS. DENISON CA/4TOR: The only other comment I
would make with regard to the appraisals are that the
parties are waiving their right to object to the values
assessed by Ibis Appraisals, any objections may be of the
nature of whether such property is marital or premarital,
and each party will retain the assets in their possession at
this time.
With regard to the house, it is the husband's
intent to retain the marital residence and wife will waive
her right, title and interest to said residence. At the
time of the execution of the marital settlement agreement,
wife will execute a special warranty deed prepared by
husband's counsel transferring her interest to husband.
Within thirty (30) days of the execution of the marital
settlement agreement, husband shs~ll make arrangements to
either refinance or assume all obligations associated to the
marital home. Said refinance or assumption shall remove
wife from any and all obligations for repayments of those
debts. Upon proof of removal from said obligations, husband
shall be permitted to file the deed and transfer the
interest in the home to his sole ownership. In the interim,
husband shall be solely responsible for all costs and
expenses associated witk the residence including but not
limited to the payment of the mortgage, home equity loan,
tares and insurance.
MR. KING: The parties further agree that in
order to determine the amount of monies that will be paid
over to wife for her 55% share of the real property there
will be deducted from the $375,000.00 valuation the amounts
of $192,414.00 which represents the alleged current balance
of the primary mortgage and $12,133.00 which represents the
alleged balance of the home equity loan. Those two balances
of the primary and secondary debt on the real property will
be verified by way of a request for payoff sheets from the
respective loan organizations.
The terms as explained by Ms. Cantor, once
the marital settlement agreement is either amicably entered
into between the parties or if needed, once a decision is
made on the personalty by the Master, within thirty (30)
days of that date steps will have been taken and payment
will have been made to Mrs. Slike for the amounts owed under
this stipulation.
THE MASTER: Mrs. Slike, have you heard the
stipulation that is stated on the record today?

TAMARA J. SLIKE,

vs.
ANDREW E. SLIKE,
Defendant
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 01 - 6821 CIVIL
IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, May 11, 2004.
This.is the date set for a hearing to take testimony fro~
realtors regarding the suggested value for property at 110
Wildflower Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Previously we had
discussions with the parties and counsel, and the Master
went to the property to view the premises and site. We then
scheduled this hearing after the parties got additional
appraisals. Uhe Master has been advised after considerable
discussion that the parties have agreed to stipulate to a
value to avoid the necessity of having all the realtors
testify and the Master make a finding with the potential for
disagreement ultimately on the Master's finding after
picking one of the four suggested values.
Consequently, today since we have a
stipulation on the value of the real estate, counsel are
going to put a statement on the record which ultimately will
be incorporated .into a final marital settlement agreement.
Essentially the statement today will set forth the parties'
stipulated value as to the real estate and the liens against
the property which are to be subsequently verified as to ~he
numbers put on the record with respect to the mortgage and
the home equity loan.
Counsel are also going to state on the record
what they intend to do with regard to any outstanding issues
that need to be resolved; namely, the personalty value.
Counsel will set forth a plan in order to try to resolve
that issue. In any event, by May 28, 2004, the Master will
either have in his possession a final marital settlement
agreement signed by the parties or will be advised that
there is an issue with respect to the value and disposition
of personalty which we will then have to be addressed at
another conference or hearing.
The stipulation that is going to be placed on
the record today will be binding on the parties and counsel
and will be used as the basis for the final comprehensive
agreement.
Present in the hearing room are tke
Plaintiff, Tamara J. Slike, and her counsel John F. King,
and the Defendant, Andrew E. Slike, and his counsel Debra A.
Denison Cantor.
The parties were married on February 13,
1982, and separated November of 2001. They are tke natural
parents of three children.
The Master assumes that the parties are going
2
to conclud~ the divorce under the no-fault provisions of the
Domestic Relations Code and, therefore, directs that the
parties file affidavits and waivers on or before May 28,
2004, so the divorce can go forward to conclusion under
Section 3301(c). Mr. King.
MR. KING: After extensive discussions
between counsel and after extensive disGussions of each of
the parties here today, Tamara J. Slike and A~drew E. Slike
with their respective counsel, there has been some
agreements which we are going to place on the record and
indicate as a stipulation of each party to those terms for
the eventual preparation of a marital settlement agreement
which will incorporate these terms.
1. There is an agreement that the value of the marital
residence will be placed at $375,000.00.
2, There is an agreement that the distribution of the
marital estate will be a 55% distribution to wife and a
45% distribution to husband.
3. In addition to the distribution which will eventually
be calculated on the marital residence there will be an
additional $550.00 credited to Mrs. Slike which constitutes
some certain sums That came from a home equity loan which
were not utilized for uhe marriage.
4. The parties have determined and agreed that the only
assets that are at issue in this marital estate are the
marital residence as well as personalty. They have agreed
and so stipulate that there are no other issues relating to
retirement plans, 401(k) s, bank accounts or alimony, spousal
support o~ anything of the like. There is a specific waiver
by both parties for any claim for alimony, alimony pendente
lite, or any future maintenance from each other.
5. Both parties have agreed that they will be responsible
for their own attorney fees.
6. .Tke only remaining issue then is that of personalty.
The parties agree that at the time of separation Mrs. Slike
removed certain items of personalty from the home and also
agree that certain items of personalty were left a~ the
home. The'parties have agreed ~hey will retain the 'services
of an appraiser and the appraisal company is Ibis Appraisals
from Carlisle and that they will each arrange to have ail of
the personalty in each of their respective homes appraised
by that individual no later than Friday, May 21, 2004. Upon
review of the report from that appraiser, the parties,
through their counsel, will eitker reach a final agreement
as to the distribution of the personalty or if they are
unable to do that by May 2~, 2004, they will so inform the
Master and ha~e that issue resolved by way of a subsequent
conference or hearing.
MS. DENISON CANTOR: The only other comment I
would make with regard to the appraisals are that the
parties are waiving their right to object to the values
assessed by Ibis Appraisals, any objections may be of the
nature of whether such property is marital or premarital,
and each party will retain the assets in their possession at
this time.
With regard to the house, it is the husband's
intent to retain the marital residence and wife will waive
her right, title and interest to said residence. At the
time of the execution of the marital settlement agreement,
wife ~ill execute a special warranty deed prepared by
husband's counsel transferring her interest to husband.
Within thirty (30) days of the execution of the marital
settlement agreement, husband shall make arrangements to
either refinance or assume all obligations associated to the
marital home. Said refinance or assumption shall remove
wife from any and all obligations for repayments of those
debts. Upon proof of removal from said obligations, husband
shall be permitted to file the deed and transfer the
interest in the home to his sole ownership. In the interim,
husband shall be solely responsible for all .co,ts and
expenses associated with the residence including but not
limited to the payment of the mortgage, home equity loan,
taxes and insurance.
MR. KING: The parties further agree that in
order to determltne the amount of monies'that will be paid
over to wife for her 55% share of the real property there
will be deducted from the $375,~00.00 valuation the amounts
of $192,414.00 which represents the alleged current balance
of the primary mortgage and $12,133.00 which represents the
alleged balance of the home equity loan. Those two balances
of ths primary and secondary debt on the real property will
be verified by way of a request for payoff sheets from the
respective loan organizations.
The terms as explained by Ms. Cantor, once
the marital settlement agreement is either amicably entered
into between the parties or if needed, once a decision is
made on the personalty by the Master, within thirty (30)
days of that date steps will have been taken and payment
will have been made to Mrs. Slike for the amounts owed under
5
this stipulation.
THE MASTER: Mrs. Slike, have you heard the
stipulation that is stated on the record today?
