Page 1 W 4MY10MW
-k\la--)j
1. DISCLOSURE OF ASSETS. Each party warrants that he or she is satisfied
with the disclosure of income, assets, and their valuation prior to the execution of this
Agreement as well as any other fact relating to this agreement. These disclosures are
part of the consideration made by each party for entering into this agreement. If any
disclosure has not been made, each party is indicating that by signing this agreement
they are waiving said further disclosure. Each party agrees that he or she shall not, at
any future time, raise as a defense, or otherwise, the lack of such disclosure in any
legal proceedings involving this agreement, with the exception of disclosure that may
have been fraudulently represented or fraudulently withheld. In the event that either
party, at any time hereafter, discovers such a fraudulently undisclosed asset, that party
shall have the right to petition the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County to
make equitable distribution of such asset. The non-disclosing party shall be
responsible for payment of counsel fees, costs, or expenses incurred by the other party
in seeking equitable distribution of such asset.
2. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. HUSBAND has employed and had the benefit of
counsel of Jane Adams, Esquire, as his attorney. WIFE has employed and had the
benefit of counsel of Jerry Weigle, Esquire, as her attorney. Each party has carefully
and completely read this agreement and has been advised or maintains that they are
completely aware not only of its contents but of its legal effect. Husband and Wife
acknowledge that this agreement is not a result of collusion, improper or illegal
agreements.
3. SEPARATION. The parties intend to maintain separate and permanent
domiciles and to live apart from each other. Neither party shall harass, annoy, injure,
threaten, or interfere with the other party in any manner whatsoever. Neither party shall
interfere with the uses, ownership, enjoyment, or disposition of any property now owned
and not specified herein or property hereafter acquired by the other.
4. SUBSEQUENT DIVORCE. The parties hereby acknowledge that HUSBAND
has filed a Complaint in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, claiming that the marriage
is irretrievably broken under the no-fault mutual consent provision of Section 3301(c) of
the Pennsylvania Divorce Code. The parties express their agreement that the marriage
is irretrievably broken and express their intent to execute any and all affidavits or other
documents necessary for the parties to obtain an absolute divorce pursuant to Section
3301(c) of the Divorce Code. The parties hereby waive all rights to request Court
Ordered counseling under the Divorce Code. The provisions of this Agreement relating
Page 2 W DMW
to equitable distribution of property of the parties are accepted by each party as a final
settlement for all purposes whatsoever, as contemplated by the Pennsylvania Divorce
Code.
Should a decree, judgment, or order of separation or divorce be obtained by
either of the parties in this or any other state, country or jurisdiction, each of the parties
hereby consents and agrees that this Agreement and all of its covenants shall not be
affected in any way by any such separation or divorce; and that nothing in any such
decree, judgment, order, or further modification or revision thereof shall alter, amend, or
vary any term of this Agreement, whether or not either or both of the parties shall
remarry. It is specifically agreed that a copy of this Agreement or the substance of the
provisions thereof, shall be incorporated by reference into any divorce, judgment, or
decree. This incorporation shall not be regarded as a merger, it being the specific
intent of the parties to permit this Agreement to survive any judgment and to be forever
binding and conclusive upon the parties.
5. 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 as the date of
execution by the party last executing this Agreement. All provisions of this agreement
shall be effectuated by the parties within thirty (30) days of the execution date of this
agreement unless otherwise specified within this agreement.
6. MUTUAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS. Other than as provided in this
agreement, each party may dispose his or her property in any way and each party
hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he or she may now have or hereafter
acquire under the present or future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or
the estate of the other as a result of the marital relationship, including without limitation,
statutory allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to take against the will
of the other, and right to act as administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will
at the request of the other, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments
which may be necessary or advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and
relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.
7. WARRANTY OF DEBTS AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS. Each party warrants
that they have not contracted any debt or liability for the other or which the estate of the
other party may be responsible or liable, and except only for the rights arising out of this
agreement, neither party will hereafter incur any liability whatsoever for which the other
Page 3 JJW r6W
•
party or the estate of the other party, will be liable. Each party agrees to indemnify or
hold harmless from the other and against all future obligations of every kind incurred by
them.
The parties agree as follows regarding the debts:
(a) Wife agrees that the following debts are her own personal responsibility and
therefore agrees to completely and finally pay on the following debts and
obligations.
Any and all debts in her name alone or incurred by her after
separation.
(b) Husband agrees that the following debts are his own personal responsibility
and therefore agrees to completely and finally pay on the following debts and
obligations.
Any and all debts in his name alone or incurred by him after
separation.
(c)The parties had a credit card account with USAA. The balance of that card
was paid off from proceeds from the sale of the marital home, and the
account was closed.
8. EQUITABLE DIVISION OF MARITAL PROPERTY. The parties have
attempted to distribute their marital property in a manner which conforms to the criteria
set forth in the Divorce Code at 23 Pa.C.S.A. §3501 et. seq. 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 without the introduction of
outside funds or other property not constituting marital property. The division of
property under this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all the marital rights of the
parties.
9. PERSONAL PROPERTY. Husband and Wife do hereby acknowledge that
they have previously divided all their tangible personal property. Except as may
otherwise be provided in this Agreement, Wife agrees that all of the tangible personal
property in Husband's possession shall be the sole and separate property of Husband;
and Husband agrees that all of the tangible personal property in Wife's possession shall
be the sole and separate property of Wife. Other than as provided herein, the parties
do hereby specifically waive, release, renounce, and forever abandon whatever claim, if
Page 4 "1 n11awMW
any, he or she may have with respect to the above items which shall become the sole
and separate property of the other.
10. BANKRUPTCY. The parties further warrant that they have not heretofore
instituted any proceedings pursuant to the bankruptcy laws nor are there any such
proceedings pending with respect to them which have been initiated by others. The
parties hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall not be dischargable in
Bankruptcy, and expressly agree to reaffirm any and all obligations contained herein. In
the event a party files such bankruptcy and pursuant thereto obtains a discharge of any
obligations he or she assumed hereunder, the other party shall have the right to petition
the court under the above-captioned docket number or under the Bankruptcy to seek
restitution and compensation from the other party for any amounts that he or she would
otherwise not have been responsible for under the original marriage settlement
agreement. These amounts shall include reasonable attorney's fees and costs for the
filing of the petition, and any other reasonable associated costs.
11. VEHICLES. With respect to these items, owned by one or both of the
parties, they agree as follows:
Each party shall retain the respective vehicles in their possession.
The titles to the said motor vehicles shall be executed by the parties, if
appropriate for effecting transfer as herein provided, within thirty days of the execution
date of this Agreement, and said executed titles shall be delivered to the proper parties
on the distribution date. Each party agrees to be solely responsible for the amounts
presently due and owing against his or her respective automobiles.
12. REAL PROPERTY. The parties owned marital property purchased during
the marriage which was located at 126 Milky Way, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. That
property has been sold and the proceeds were divided to both parties' satisfaction.
Page 5 �JW�ryW
13. EMPLOYMENT AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS. Other than as provided
herein, the parties agree to waive any and all rights they have in and to each other's
employment benefits, including but not limited to both parties IRA's, 401(k)'s, stock
savings plans, pensions, Thrift Savings Plans, military retirement plans and Incentive
