6. Lump Sum Payments: You may be required to report and withhold from lump sum payments such as bonuses, commissions, or
severance pay. If you have any questions about lump sum payments, contact the person or authority below.
7. Liability: If you fail to withhold income as the Order/Notice directs, you are liable for both the accumulated amount you should have
withheld from the employee/obligor's income and other penalties set by Pennsylvania State law. Pennsylvania State law governs unless
the obligor is employed in another State, in which case the law of the State in which he or she is employed governs.
8. Anti-discrimination: You are subject to a fine determined under State law for discharging an employee/obligorfrnm employment,

employment. Disposable income is the net income left after making mandatory deductions such as: State, Federal, local taxes, Social
Security taxes, statutory pension contributions and Medicare taxes. The Federal limit is 50% of the disposable income if the obligor is
supporting another family and 60% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family.However, that 50% limit is
increased to 55% and that 60% limit is increased to 65% if the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the State, you may
deduct a fee for administrative costs. The support amount and the fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section.
Arrears greater than 12 weeks : If the Order Information does not indicate whether the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then the
employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage. For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts
allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal employers who receive a State order, you may not withhold more than the lesser of
the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which the employer is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the
CCPA (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)). Depending upon applicable State law, you may need to take into consideration the amounts paid for health
care premiums in determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits.
10. Additional info:
*NOTE: If you or your agent are served with a copy of this order in the state that issued the order, you are to follow the law of the state
that issued this order with respect to these items.

DISCUSSION
In Clouse v. louse, 50 Cumberland L.J. 167, 170 (2001) the Honorable
J. Wesley Oler discu sed the law of Pennsylvania as it relates to the subject of alimony
pendente lite wherei he stated:
The determination of whether to award alimony pendente lite has
tradit' nally been a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court.
Litm s v. Litmans, 449 Pa. Superior Ct. 209, 222, 673 A.2d 382, 388 (1996)
(citin Murphy v. Murphy, 410 Pa. Superior Ct. 146, 599 A.2d 647 (1991),
a ea denied, 530 Pa. 633, 606 A.2d 902 (1992), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 868,
113 S Ct. 196, 121 L.Ed. 2d 139 (1992)). APL is based on the need of one
spous to have the financial resources to pursue or defend a divorce action.
Litm s, supra at 222, 763 A.2d at 388. The claimant must show that APL is
neede to adequately preserve his or her rights in the litigation. Sutliff v.
Sutlif , 326 Pa. Superior Ct. 496, 500, 474 A.2d 599, 600 (1984), overruled on
other rounds, Rosen v. Rosen, 520 Pa. 19, 549 A.2d 561 (1988). In this
regar ,the Pennsylvania Superior Court has stated that "a spouse seeking
alimo y pendente lite who has sufficient assets to meet the needs of the
pendi g litigation and who is equally situated with the other spouse to
maint in or defend the action, will not be awarded alimony pendente lite."
Powe s v. Powers, 419 Pa. Superior Ct. 464, 467, 615 A.2d 459, 460 (1992).
In adjudicating a claim for alimony pendente lite, a court should
i er the following factors: "the ability of the other party to pay; the
r to estate and income of the petitioning party; and the character,
f on, and surroundings of the parties.'' Litmans, supra. at 224, 673 A.2d
at 3
Once entitlement to award of alimony pendente lite is established, the calculation
of the amount of the ward is made pursuant to the support guidelines. Little v. Little,
47 Cumberland L.J. 31 (1998).
The evidence~clearly established the Wife's need for alimony pendente lite and the
Husband's ability to ay.
The Wife is orking only part-time as aself-employed cleaning lady. She currently
earns approximately $300.00 per week in this venture. She had been earning $400.00 per
week as an employe of Torres credit service prior to separating from her Husband. She
voluntarily left this e ployment to take the position with Deerfield Commons to save money
on gasoline and to d vote more time to her dance studio.
"If the trier o fact determines that a party to a support action has wilfully failed to
obtain or maintain a propriate employment, the trier of fact may impute to that party an
income equal to the arties earning capacity."~ The Wife voluntarily reduced her income by
$100.00 per week w en she changed employment. Under the circumstances of this case, in
the opinion of this aster it is appropriate to impute to her an earning capacity of $400.00
per week, or $1,733. 0 per month due to her wilful failure to maintain appropriate
employment. With tax filing status of married/separate, she would have a net monthly
earning capacity of 1,420.00.2
At the time o filing of the divorce complaint and the petition for alimony pendente
lite the Husband was employed by MG&G Constuction, LLC earning $974.00 per week. He
was also generating ross self-employment income of approximately $1,800.00 hauling ice
cream. His net profs from this venture is approximately $1,000.00 per month. With his total
gross monthly inco e of $5,221.00 and a tax filing status of married/separate, the Husband
has net monthly inco e of $3,748.00.3
With the net onthly incomes as set forth above and no minor children, the husband
has an obligation for alimony pendente lite effective February 22, 2010 of $931.00 per
month.4
The Husband was laid-off by MG&G Construction on March 12, 2010 and began
receiving unemploy ent compensation benefits of $410.00 per month. He continued to
operate his hauling b sines. His total gross monthly income was reduced to $2,777.00, or
$2,330.00 net perm nth.s With a reduction in income, the obligation for alimony pendente
lite is lowered to $3 .00 per month.6

On or about une 1, 2010 the Husband began new employment as an independent
contractor for a com any in West Virginia. Because it is too early to determine what his net
monthly income fro this venture will be, no adjustment to the APL obligation will be made
at this time. Either arty may petition for modification of the obligation after 90 days.

DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED PETITION
TO ENFORCE MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
AND NOW comes the Defendant, Calvin E. Wiser, by and through his attorney, Jeanne
B. Costopoulos, Esquire, and respectfully avers the following in support of this Petition:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.
8. Admitted.
9. Admitted.
10. Admitted.
Y
11. (a) Admitted. Defendant does not object to signing a deed.
(b) Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted that Defendant has not signed the
alimony stipulation prepared by Plaintiff's counsel. It is denied that the settlement
agreement requires Defendant to sign an alimony stipulation but rather simply requires
him to make the alimony payments to Plaintiff and authorizes Cumberland County to
enter an order of support. Notwithstanding said position, Defendant is not opposed to
signing an alimony stipulation as approved by his counsel and domestic relations.
(c)Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted that Defendant did not pay any taxes
other than those he was required to pay under the settlement agreement. By way of
further answer, as joint owner of the property Plaintiff was just as capable as Defendant to
obtain the balance due on the taxes as of the date of settlement and she should not have
agreed to cap Defendant's contribution to the tax bill at $1,000.00 if she was unsure of
the balance owed or was otherwise not satisfied with the settlement agreement as written.
12. No response required.
13. Admitted.
14. Admitted.
15. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court to deny any and all
relief requested in Plaintiff's petition.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
