marriage, namely Alisha Marie Sheets, born March 14, 1992, William Andrew
Sheets, born October 14, 1999 and Madison Brianne Sheets, born June 29, 2001;
WHEREAS, the parties have lived separate and apart since June 12, 2009 and
continue to do so within the meaning of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are desirous of settling fully and finally their
respective financial and property rights and obligations as between each other,
including, without limitation, the settling of all matters between them relating to the
ownership of real and personal property, the support and maintenance of one

business, occupation, profession or employment which to him or her may seem
advisable. HUSBAND and WIFE shall not molest, harass, disturb or malign each
other, nor compel or attempt to compel the other to cohabit or dwell by any means
or in any manner whatsoever with him or her. Neither parry will interfere with the
use, ownership, enjoyment or disposition of any property now owned by or
hereafter acquired by the other.

independent legal advice from counsel of his or her selection. HUSBAND has been

represented in this matter by Debra Denison Cantor, Esquire. Each party fully
understands the facts and his or her legal rights and obligations, and each party
(Initial) 2 (Initial)
acknowledges and accepts that this Agreement is, under the circumstances, fair and
equitable, and that it is being entered into freely and voluntarily, and that the
execution of this Agreement is not the result of any duress or undue influence, and
that it is not the result of any improper or illegal agreement or agreements. In
addition, each parry understands the impact of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code,
whereby the court has the right and duty to determine all marital rights of the parties

respective parties' rights to alimony, alimony pendente lite, support and
maintenance, equitable distribution, counsel fees and costs of litigation.
3. DISCLOSURE OF ASSETS:
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that he or she is aware of his or her right
to seek discovery including, but not limited to, written interrogatories, motions for

all other means of discovery permitted under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code or the

relating to the financial affairs of the other which has been requested by each of them

is satisfactory to them. Except as specifically set forth herein, each of the parties
hereto further covenants and agrees for himself and herself and his or her heirs,
executors, administrators or assigns, that he or she will never at any time hereafter sue
the other party or his or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns in any action of
contention, direct or indirect, and allege therein that there was a denial of any rights to
full disclosure, or that there was a failure to have available full, proper and
independent representation by legal counsel.
4. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE:

other waivers necessary to expedite such divorce. Upon completion of the divorce
action, counsel obtaining a divorce decree will supply to the opposing parry a copy of

5. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION:
The parties have attempted to distribute their marital property in a manner
which conforms to the criteria set forth in Section 3502 of the Pennsylvania Divorce
Code. 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

property. The division of property under this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction
of all marital rights of the parties, and shall be as follows:

harmless from any and all liabilities for same. Upon request, HUSBAND agrees to
