1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.
8. Denied for the reason that Defendant is without knowledge as to the
information set forth therein.
9. Admitted.
Count I - Divorce
10. Defendant admits that the marriage is irretrievably broken; Defendant denies
that he has offered such indignities to Plaintiff as to make her condition burdensome

WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests your Honorable Court that a
decree in divorce not be entered until disposition of the equitable distribution count and
the other matters raised.
Count II - Equitable Distribution
11. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests your Honorable Court to

for her reasonable needs.
13. Denied. Plaintiff's education and work experience provides her with ample

employment which is required to provide a separate household for Defendant and
support for his children. Plaintiff's investment assets and potential for income from

his children, to pay the medical costs for Plaintiff and his children, and to pay the legal
fees and costs in defense of the divorce action filed by Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests your Honorable Court to dismiss
Plaintiff's request for alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs, and expenses,
because Plaintiff has failed to aver facts stating a cause for relief and is otherwise not
entitled to the relief requested.
