PETITION TO STAY COMPLAINT IN DIVORCE
UNDER RULE 1920.6, MULTIPLE ACTIONS
1. The Petitioner is Sara L. Worman, the Plaintiff in a divorce action filed to the above-
captioned term and number in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County.
The Respondent is Jared N. Worman, the Defendant in this above-captioned divorce
action.
3.
The basis for this Petition is a request that the divorce action instituted by the
Defendant on November 27, 2001, in Dauphin County be stayed as the result of this divorce action
being filed in Cumberland County.
4. The parties have been married since 1960 and established a marital residence in
Cumberland County in approximately 1974.
5. They have resided at 522 Springhouse Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011,
continuously since that time until Husband vacated the marital residence in July of 2000 as the result
of his extra-marital affair with another woman.
6. The Petitioner continues to reside in the marital residence along with her elderly
mother, an equitable owner of the property.
7. Husband has recently rented an apartment in Harrisburg, located in Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania, but it is not believed that any other marital property is located in that jurisdiction,
except two burial lots.
8. It is the contention of the undersigned, that the counsel for Husband chose to file this
action in Dauphin County attempting to obtain more favorable treatment on alimony and other issues
by the Dauphin County Court than if the matter were to proceed in Cumberland County.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully asks this Court to find that the current action in
Cumberland County shall be the basis for this action in divorce and that the action now pending in
Dauphin County shall be stayed and/or terminated at the discretion of the Court.

PREVENTING REMOVAL, DISPOSITION, ENCUMBERING OR ALIENATION OF
PROPERTY UNDER § 3505 OF THE DIVORCE CODE AND PA.R.C.P. 1920.43(A)
AND NOW comes the Petitioner herein, Sara L. Worman, by and through her counsel of
record, Kathleen Carey Daley, Esquire, and petitions the Court as follows:
1. Petitioner is Sara L. Worman, an adult individual currently residing at 522
Springhouse Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. Respondent is Jared N. Worman, an adult individual currently residing at 86 Beacon
Drive, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17112.
3. Petitioner and Respondent are husband and wife, having been married on June 25,
1960. Wife is filing a Complaint in Divorce under Section 3301 (a)(6) concurrently with this Petition.
4. The Plaintiff and Defendant, as tenants by the entireties, are owners of certain real
property and other assets, which, although marital, are titled in the name of Husband individually
and Wife individually.
5. A major aspect of the marital estate is comprised of retirement and investment
accounts, many of which are titled in Husband's name. Contrary to the written agreement of the
parties and without any information to Wife, Husband has invaded said account so as to distribute
more than $3,000 in funds to himself within the last sixty (60) days.
6. Subsequent to the removal of these funds, Husband filed an action seeking a no-fault
divorce in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County. Wife has filed a fault divorce complaint
on the basis of Husband's adultery and indignities in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland
County.
7. Husband elected an early retirement from his position as an engineer with AMP, Inc.
and has now chosen to take a part-time position with very minimum income.
8. Wife is employed as a part-time registered nurse through the Visiting Nurse
Association of Central Pennsylvania and Hempfield Counseling Association and is attempting to
provide for her own needs on the basis of her income.
9. It is believed and averred that the actions of Husband in dissipating these marital
assets will be contrary to the interests of Wife and in violation of the obligations owed by Husband
to Wife under the Divorce Code.
10. Wife is in possession of the marital home which has substantial value, but which is
subject to two mortgages which they are paying.
11. Wife has a legal right, title and interest in this property and is asking the Court to
secure its value so that it is available for the purposes of equitable distribution.
12. By selling, transferring, disposing, encumbering, concealing, removing or alienating
these funds without accounting for the same to Petitioner in order to defeat equitable distribution,
Respondent will wrongfully and intentionally prevent Petitioner from exercising her right in
ownership in said property.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays for equitable relief as follows:
A.) that an injunction issue preliminarily and until heating and finally thereat'ret,
enjoining Respondent from disposing, transferring, encumbering, concealing, selling,
removing, or alienating any marital property absent of written agreement between the parties;
B.) that your Honorable Court issue an order requiring an accounting of all
withdrawals made by Husband from any marital assets, except those which have been
previously agreed to by the parties; and
C.) such other relief as your Honorable Court may deem appropriate.

1. The Petitioner is Sara L. Worman, the Plaintiff in the above-captioned divorce action.
2. The Respondent is Jared N. Worman, the Defendant in the above-captioned divorce
action.
3. On or about December 18, 2001, the Petitioner filed an action before this Honorable
Court seeking injunctive relief through a Petition for Special Relief. Petitioner filed this action
because she believed that the Respondent was taking disbursements from joint marital assets without
her knowledge or consent and she feared a dissipation of the marital estate.
4. On or about January 4, 2002, an Order was entered by this Honorable Court which
provided:
"AND NOW, this 4th day of January, 2002, upon consideration of Plaintiff's

transferring, encumbering, concealing, selling, removing, or alienating any marital
property absent a written agreement between the parties and both parties shall

except those which have been previously agreed to by the parties."
A true and correct copy of this Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
5. Subsequent to the entry of this Order, the Respondent withdrew the sum of $6,000
from his IRA account, an action that was contrary to the express language of the Court's Order.
6. A hearing on the Petitioner's petition was held before this Honorable Court on May
30, 2002, at which time the Court entered an Order based upon an agreemem of the parties, which
is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "B."
7. The parties were unable to agree on reimbursement for legal expenses that were
incurred by the Petitioner in bringing this action.
8. Subsequent to the entry of this Order, counsel for Petitioner served upon counsel for
Respondent a Request for Admissions. A true and correct copy of this document with the response
of the Respondent is attached hereto as Exhibit "C."
9. In this document, the Respondent acknowledges that the Order of January 4, 2002,
was entered and that he received a copy of the Order; that he withdrew the sum of $6,000 from his
IRA contrary to the terms of that Order.
10. The Respondent admits that the fee agreement between Petitioner and her counsel
provides for a fee of$175 per hour and that he has reviewed the invoice addressed to the Petitioner
itemizing all charges for legal services rendered.
I 1. Based upon the foregoing, it is contended that there is no dispute as to the facts and
that the record supports a finding of contempt in this matter as the result of the wrongful conduct of
the Respondent.
-2-
12. It is contended that no further heating in this matter is necessary and that the Court
has sufficient authority under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays that this Honorable Court finds as follows:
A.) That the actions of the Respondent in making a withdrawal from the marital IRA on
or about April 15, 2002, was contrary to the provisions of the Order of January 4, 2002;
B.) That this action constituted an action in contempt of this Court's Order; and
C.) That the Respondent shall be assessed the sum of $1,400 in legal fees payable to
Kathleen Carey Daley, Esquire, within ten (10) days of the entry of the Court's Order.

Re:
Worman v. Worman
No. 01-7083 - Civil Term
Dear Judge Oler:
On August 23, 2002, our office filed a Petition for Contempt against the Defendant in the
above-captioned divorce action for failure to pay this office legal fees as ordered by this Honorable
Court. Subsequently, a heating was scheduled in this matter for January 6, 2003.
Please be advised that the Defendant has recently paid the required legal fees to Daley Law
Offices and, therefore, the hearing scheduled for January 6, 2003, is not necessary. I respectfully
request that this heating be canceled.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
CAB:pap
