of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
WHEREAS, diverse unhappy differences, disputes and difficulties have arisen between
the parties and it is the intention of Wife and Husband to live separate and apart for the rest of
their natural lives, and 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 ownership and equitable distribution of marital property; the past, present and future support,
and/or maintenance of Wife by Husband; and, in general, any and all claims and possible claims
by one against the other or against their respective estates.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises,
covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration,
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, Wife and Husband, each
intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
PERSONAL RIGHTS
Wife and Husband may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. They
shall be free from any contact, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other
in all respects as fully as if they were unmarried. Each may, for his or her separate use or
benefit, conduct, carry on and engage in any business, occupation, profession or employment
which to him or her may seem advisable. Wife and Husband shall not molest, harass, disturb or

malign each other or the respective families of each other at all times and at all locations,
including but not limited to each party's place of work, nor compel or attempt to compel the
other to cohabit or dwell by any means whatsoever with him or her.
WAIVER OF RIGHTS AND MUTUAL RELEASES
Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement:
(a) Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the
other and the estate of the other for all purposes from any and all rights and obligations which
either may have or at any time hereafter have for past, present or future support or maintenance,
alimony pendente lite, alimony, equitable distribution, counsel fees, costs, expenses and any
other right or obligation, economic or otherwise, whether arising out of the marital relationship
or otherwise, including all rights and benefits under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of 1980, its
supplements and amendments, as well as under any other law of any other jurisdiction, except
and only except all rights, agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which may
arise under this Agreement or for the breach of any provision thereof. Neither party shall have
any obligation to the other not expressly set forth herein.
(b) Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the
other and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, property and estate from any and all
rights, claims, demands or obligations arising out of or by virtue of the marital relationship of the
parties or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising. The above release shall be
effective regardless of whether such claims arise out of any former or future acts, contracts,
engagements or liabilities of the other or by way of dower, curtesy, widow's rights, family
exemption or similar allowance, or under the intestate laws, or the right to take against the
spouse's will, or the right to treat a lifetime conveyance by the other as testamentary, or all other
rights of a surviving spouse to participate in a deceased spouse's estate, whether arising under the
laws of Pennsylvania, any state, commonwealth or territory of the United States, or any other
country. It is expressly understood, however, that neither the provisions of this release nor the
subsequent entry of a divorce decree are intended to defeat the right of either party to receive any
insurance proceeds at the death of the other of which she or he is the named beneficiary (whether
the beneficiary designation was made prior or subsequent to execution hereof), nor to defeat the
right of either party to receive any legacy, bequest or residuary portion of the other's estate under
his or her will, or to act as personal representative or executor if so named by the will of the
other, whether such will was executed prior or subsequent to this Agreement.
(c) Except for any cause of action for divorce which either party may have or claim to
have, and except for the obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement and such rights as
are expressly reserved herein, each party gives to the other by the execution of this Agreement an
absolute and unconditional release and discharge from all causes of action, claims, rights or
demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, which either party ever had or now has against the
other.
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The parties have disclosed to each other and they are each aware of the extent of each
other's income, assets, liabilities, holdings and estate.
AGREEMENT TO BE INCORPORATED
BUT NOT MERGED INTO DIVORCE DECREE
In the event that either of the parties shall recover a final judgment or decree of absolute
divorce against the other in a court of competent jurisdiction, the provisions of this Agreement
may be incorporated by reference or in substance but shall not be deemed merged into such
judgment or decree. This agreement shall survive any such final judgment or decree of absolute
divorce, shall be entirely independent thereof, and the parties intend that all obligations
contained herein shall retain their contractual nature in any enforcement proceedings, whether
enforcement is sought in an action on the contract itself or in any enforcement action filed to the
divorce caption.
EFFECT OF DIVORCE DECREE ON AGREEMENT
Either party may enforce this Agreement as provided in Section 3105(a) of the Divorce
Code, as amended. As provided in Section 3105(c), provisions of this Agreement regarding
equitable distribution, alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees or expenses shall not be
subject to modification by the court.
The parties agree to sign Affidavits of Consent and Waivers of Notice of Intention to
Request Entry of Final Divorce Decree as appropriate with the current ninety (90) day waiting
period in effect in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Wife shall be responsible for filing these
documents and finalizing the divorce.
DATE OF EXECUTION
The "date of execution" or "execution date" of this Agreement shall be defined as the date
upon which it is executed by the parties if they have each executed the Agreement on the same
date. Otherwise, the "date of execution" or "execution date" of this Agreement shall be defined
