Lindsay, and petitions this Honorable Court as follows:
v
1. Petitioner is an adult individual who resides in the home of her daughter at
618 Prospect Avenue, Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17257. She was
born on February 27, 1931 and is 78 years of age.
2. Respondent is George Barner who resides at 66 Jumper Road, Shippensburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17257. He was born on May 4, 1935 and is 74 years of
age.
3. The parties were married on June 18, 1955 and separated on January 31,
2010. The marriage is of 55 years duration.
4. For the last two years, Respondent has engaged in a romantic relationship
FLC RR &
LINDSAY
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA
with Tammy Carbaugh, upon information and belief, a woman approximately 30 years his
junior.
5. From time to time over the past two years, upon information and belief,
Respondent has expended marital assets to purchase gifts of jewelry, lingerie and other
items for Tammy Carbaugh.
6. Recently, Petitioner found documentation at the marital home of Respndent's
naming Tammy Carbaugh as the beneficiary of some investments which he was newly
purchasing on the advice of M&T Bank that $20,000.00 or more in savings might be more
profitably invested.
7. The marital estate, so far as Petitioner is aware, consists of the following:
a. Two tracts of real estate, one the marital home on four acres worth
estimated $250,000.00, unencumbered by a mortgage in which Respondent
continues to reside and 25 acres adjacent worth an estimated $250,000.00.
b. Nine vehicles titled in the name of Respondent and one vehicle in
Petitioner's name.
C. A single joint money market account at Merrill Lynch with an unknown
value.
d. Two bank accounts owned by Respondent and four bank accounts
owned by Petitioner. Upon information and belief, Respondent's bank accounts, in
total, are worth more than double Petitioner's bank accounts.
e. Two Ameritrade accounts, both jointly owned, with a combined value
of approximately $50,000.00.
f. Merrill Lynch accounts separately titled with an unknown value, but the
account titled to Petitioner contains approximately $40,000.00 from an inheritance.
g. Two IRAs of equivalent amount each in the name of one of the parties.
h. Respondent's pensions.
i. Respondent's whole life insurance policy at Prudential.
8. There are only three financial accounts in joint names. The balance of the
FI? RR &
LINDSAY
A•IW
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA
accounts, including the accounts into which Respondent's substantial retirement funds are
deposited, are in the name of the Respondent.
9. On the same day as the date of this Petition, Petitioner filed a Complaint in
Divorce, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A", seeking inter alia., equitable
distribution.
10. Petitioner believes and therefore avers that without an Order of Court
prohibiting dissipation of marital assets and alteration of beneficiary designations, that the
marital estate is at risk.
11. No judge has been assigned to this case.
12. Respondent, so far as Petitioner is aware, has no attorney and, given the
nature of this Petition, his concurrence in the relief requested has not been sought.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court to issue an Order on both
parties not to transfer, alienate, sell, convey or otherwise dissipate any interest in any
property the parties owned as of the date of the filing of this Petition and, after a hearing, to
order the Respondent to provide documentation that the Petitioner is the beneficiary of any
account of policy for which a beneficiary designation is customarily provided, and that the
Respondent not transfer, alienate, sell, convey or otherwise dissipate any interest in any
property pending equitable distribution.

account as stated in the attached Exhibit A. The parties agree, with the exception of the M&T

current balance of the investment asset. This Agreement is based upon an understanding that the
current balances of the investment assets identified in Exhibit A are substantially the same as
stated on Exhibit A.
8.6 Tax Consequences.
This Agreement has been negotiated on the assumption that, except as otherwise
specifically provided for, the transfer of assets pursuant to this Paragraph will be governed by the
provisions of Sections 1041 and 71(b)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and as such shall not
result in the recognition of any gain or loss upon the transfer by the transferor. It also is
understood by the parties that the transfer of property subject to Section 1041 of the Internal
Revenue Code shall require that the transferee take the property with a tax basis equal to the
adjusted tax basis that the property had in the hands of the transferor.
9. ALIMONY
9.1 Including the benefits provided for in this Agreement, Husband has sufficient
property and/or income to provide for his reasonable needs. Therefore, notwithstanding any
provision in the Divorce Code to the contrary, and except as otherwise specifically set forth in
this Agreement, Husband expressly waives, discharges and releases any and all rights or claims
which he may have, now or hereafter, by reason of the parties' marriage, to alimony, alimony
pendente lite, support, maintenance and/or any other such benefits resulting from the parties'
status as husband and wife.
9.2 Husband and Wife stipulate and agree that they have exchanged earnings
information, tax records and records relating to their income, and that based upon same, it has
been determined by and between the parties hereto that Wife is a fit and proper person for an
award of alimony. In determining the nature, amount, and duration of said alimony, both parties
hereto have made special reference to Wife's present and future earning capacity, Wife's present
state of employment, the relative contribution, as well as the parties' respective medical and
emotional conditions, all of which have been disclosed to each party. In addition to considering
each and every element set forth in Section 501 et seq. of Pennsylvania's Divorce Code in
computing this alimony allocation, the parties have also fixed and predicated the payment of
alimony upon Husband's assumption of certain ongoing debts and commitments.
Based upon those conditions hereinabove set forth in the foregoing paragraph, it is
stipulated and agreed by and between the parties hereto that commencing the first month after
the execution of this Agreement and every month thereafter, Husband shall pay Wife spousal
support and alimony for an indefinite period from the date of execution of this Agreement in the
amount of FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS ($400.00).
"Phis amount shall be paid directly to Wife in a single monthly payment and shall be
received by Wife no later than the fifth (5`") day of each month. Wife reserves the right to
pursue a support Order and wage attachment Order through Domestic Relations which Husband
shall not defend in the event Husband is more than thirty (30) days late with any payments. This
amount shall be considered spousal support, until entry of the parties' final decree in divorce, at
which time it shall be converted to alimony. This grant of alimony is non-modifiable in nature.
This grant of alimony to Wife begins only when the parties' decree in divorce is final.
Prior to that, Husband's payments are spousal support. Payments shall terminate upon
Husband's death, Wife's death, or Wife's remarriage or Wife's cohabitation.
The parties agree that the entire amount being paid to Wife pursuant to this paragraph is a
separate maintenance periodic payment, included and intended to be included within the income
of Wife within the meaning and intent of Section 71 of the United States Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, and is deductible from Husband's gross income pursuant to the provisions of Section
215 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1984. Husband and Wife agree that all said payments shall
be included as income of the Wife in her applicable tax retunis, and that she shall pay such taxes
as may be required by such inclusion.
9.3 Wife agrees to credit Husband $443.32 per month beginning June 1, 2012. This
monthly credit will terminate upon the execution of this Agreement so long as the total amounts
received by Wife do not exceed the '/2 share of the pension plans provided for in paragraph 8.5
herein, plus the sum of $400.00 per month. This credit is based upon the fact that Husband is
currently obligated to pay Wife $1,642.00 per month representing spousal support. The credit
stated in this paragraph represents the difference between the monthly spousal support Wife
currently receives and the alimony and pension payments that Wife will receive pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The parties agree that such credit shall be fixed at $2,216.60 as of
October 31, 2012 and that they shall notify the Domestic Relations Section that the obligation
under that Order shall cease effective October 31, 2012. Husband shall pay the sum of $400.00
directly to wife for the months of November and December 2012 and Wife acknowledges that
any credit due for June tluough October shall be applied to the payments which would otherwise
be due for November and December 2012 from Husband's pension accounts. If the Qualified
Domestic Relations Orders are not in place by December 31, 2012, Husband shall pay to Wife
the sum of $579.44 for January 2013 and the remaining credit will be exhausted. Thereafter
beginning in February 2013, Husband will pay to Wife the sum of $1,198.68 monthly until Wife
begins to receive her distributions directly from Husband pension accounts. Once Wife begins to
receive her distributions from Husband's pension accounts, Husband's monthly obligation to
Wife will revert to $400.00 per month.
10. CREDIT
Wife and Husband represent that they have taken all steps necessary to make sure that no
credit cards or similar accounts exist as of the date of execution of this Agreement which provide
for joint liability. From the date of execution of this Agreement, each party shall. use only those
credit cards and accounts for which that party is individually liable.
11. DEBT:
A. Marital Debt: Husband and Wife acknowledge and agree that there are no other
outstanding debts and obligations which are marital or for which the other might be liable
incurred prior to the signing of this Agreement.
B: Post Separation Debt: In the event that either parry contracted or incurred any debt
since the date of separation on February 1, 2010, the party who incurred said debt shall be
responsible for the payment thereof regardless of the name in which the debt may have been
incurred.
C: Future Debt: From the date of this agreement neither party shall contract or incur
any debt or liability for which the other party or his or her property or estate might be responsible
and shall indemnify and save the other party harmless from any and all claims or demands made
against him. or her by reason of debts or obligations incurred by the other parry
12. INCOME TAX
12.1 Past Returns. Each party represents that, to the best of his and her knowledge, all
income tax returns and other documents required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service
and any other taxing authority for prior calendar years have been filed and that no notices have
been received from the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority which remain
unresolved. Each party further represents to the other that, to the best of his or her knowledge,
the information set forth in the joint tax returns filed for prior calendar years were and remains
accurate and acknowledges that the other party relied upon such representations in signing those
returns.
Therefore, if any deficiency in federal, state, or local income tax is proposed, or any
assessment of any such tax is made against either party by reason of her or his having joined in
the filing of joint federal, state or local income tax returns, each party shall indemnify the other
and hold them harmless from any tax, interest, penalty or expense resulting from any such tax
deficiency, including reasonable counsel and accounting fees, and such tax, interest, penalty or
expense shall be divided equally, unless said tax, interest, penalty or expense is finally
determined to be attributable to one party's misrepresentations or failures to disclose relevant
information of income on the aforesaid joint income tax returns. In that event, the party not
determined to be at fault shall choose the counsel to represent the parties or themselves
individually in the matter and shall have the sole right to decide whether to contest and/or to
settle any such deficiency or claim. The party determined to be at fault shall be responsible for
making payment for all tax, interest, penalty or expense, and reasonable counsel and accounting
fees.
13. COUNSEL FEES
Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for
his or her own legal fees and expenses.
14. OBLIGATIONS NOT DISCHARGEABLE IN BANKRUPTCY
The parties represent that, to the best of their knowledge, there are no bankruptcy
proceedings pending involving either of the parties. The payments provided for in this
Agreement are not, and are not intended to be, a debt which is affected by a discharge in
bankruptcy. Therefore, those debts shall not be discharged in bankruptcy.
15. WARRANTY AS TO EXISTING AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS
During the course of the marriage, Wife and Husband have incurred certain liabilities.
Each party represents, covenants and warrants that, to the best of his or her knowledge and
except as specifically otherwise provided for by the terms of this Agreement, as of the date of
execution of this Agreement: (a) no unpaid liabilities, remain which were incurred by him or her
or on his or her behalf for which the other party may be deemed liable; (b) there are no actions,
suits or proceedings pending or threatened against Husband and/or Wife or affecting any jointly
held properties or rights, at law or in equity or before any federal, state, municipal or other
governmental agency, nor is Wife or Husband aware of any facts which to his or her knowledge
might result in any such action, suit or proceeding; (c) if any such liabilities, actions, suits or
proceedings should be determined to have existed as of the date of execution of this Agreement
or thereafter, the party who incurred that debt shall exonerate and indemnify the other party
against and hold the other party harmless from any liability or expense, including counsel fees,
incurred as a result of those liabilities; and (d) he or she shall not incur any liability whatsoever
in the future for which the other party or the estate of the other party may be liable, and shall
exonerate and indemnify the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any such
