RELIEF FILED ON OR AROUND OCTOBER 4, 2011
AND NOW comes the Plaintiff, Horace Schmuck, by and through his attorney, Mark F.
Bayley, and answers Defendant's Petition as follows:
1. Admitted.

follows: 400 Lauren Lane, Sadsburyville, Pennsylvania.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.

that his loss of employment is by his own doing and he has been making diligent efforts to
find new employment; by way of further answer Wife has not held employment since
approximately 2001 to date.
8. Admitted. By way of further answer Husband had no income leading up to the September
22, 2011 conference which made it fairly difficult to offer to pay anything towards arrears at
that time. By way of further answer Husband's arrears are subject to potential change based
upon a pending appeal with regard to the last support conference recommendation.
9. This paragraph consists of allegations regarding negotiations between the parties which are
