TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Mark A. Garlick, by and through his attorneys, Mooney &
Associates, by Amy E. W. Ehrhart, Esquire, files the following Petition for Special Relief To
Compel Terri A. Garlick to Execute Lease or in the Alternative to Order Interim Distribution of
Marital Assets and respectfully represents:
I . Your Petitioner is Mark A. Garlick, the above-captioned Defendant, residing at 106
Lincolnway West Rear, New Oxford, Adams County, Pennsylvania 17350.
2. Your Respondent is Terrie A. Garlick, the above-captioned Plaintiff, residing at 1568
Baltimore Road, Dillsburg, York County, Pennsylvania 17019.
3. Respondent filed a Complaint Under Section 3301(c) or 3301(d) of the Divorce Code
on April 18, 2002.
4. Petitioner and Respondent are owners as tenants by the entirety of a certain parcel of
land located in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania.
5. The property is approximately 18 acres, and is currently undeveloped.
6. Chesapeake Appalachia L.L.C. has been contacting nearby residents of Wyalusing
Township to propose a lease agreement for gas and oil rights.
7. Chesapeake Appalachia L.L.C is currently offering the parties an oil and gas lease
with $4,000 per acre in upfront bonus money and 18% royalty. See letter from Chesapeake Energy
dated December 20, 2010, attached as Exhibit A.
8. Based on the acreage of the parties' property, the marital estate stands to gain
$70,520.00 as an initial bonus for signing the lease.
9. Petitioner believes and therefore avers the future income which can be derived
through this lease agreement will be substantial; and therefore, in addition to being of benefit to the
parties, will also be of great benefit to the parties' children.
10. Several nearby property owners, including Respondent's brother who owns the
property directly beside the parties' property, have already signed agreements with Chesapeake
Appalachia L.L.C.
11. Respondent refuses to sign the oil and gas lease.
12. It is believed and therefore averred there is a limited number of lease agreements
which will be sought by Chesapeake Appalachia, L.L.C.
13. Respondent's refusal to sign the lease agreement amounts to a dissipation of a marital
asset.
14. The Honorable Judge Edward E. Guido has heard argument from counsel on only one
other issue in the same or related matter: Defendant's Petition to Enforce Discovery and For Special
Relief.
15. Petitioner has sought concurrence of opposing counsel, Nora F. Blair, Esquire. She
does not concur.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court order
Respondent/Plaintiff Terrie A. Garlick to take whatever steps may be necessary to join
Petitioner/Defendant Mark A. Garlick in entering into the oil and gas lease agreement as proposed by
Chesapeake Appalachia, L.L.C. in their letter dated December 20, 2010.
IN THE ALTERNATIVE,
ORDER INTERIM DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL ASSETS
16. Paragraphs 1 -15 are incorporated by reference.
17. When the parties were still married, Husband owned his own business while Wife
worked a more traditional job.
18. By agreement of the parties Husband used the profits from his business to pay almost
all of the parties' expenses, and as a byproduct of this arrangement Wife was able to make
substantially larger contributions to her 401(k) and retirement plans than she would have been able to
make otherwise.
19. For many years Husband's business was profitable; however, shortly before the
parties separated, Wife refused to sign a j oint loan which was necessary for the purchase of inventory
items at Husband's business.
20. The loan was similar to loans which had been taken by the parties for the benefit of
Husband's business several times in the past and there was no rational reason for Wife's sudden
refusal.
21. As a result of Wife's failure to sign the joint loan, Husband's was forced to sell his
business.
22. Since the parties separated Husband has not been able to achieve the same level of
earnings which he was enjoying during the period in which he owned his business.
23. During the same period Wife's earning have steadily increased.
24. Wife has maintained full control of all of the 401(k) plans and retirement packages,
including the portions of same which were made possible by the substantial contributions of
Husband.
25. Husband does not have any 401(k) or retirement package.
26. At all times since the parties separated nine years ago Wife has retained control of the
marital home.
27. Wife has also purchased a separate home in which she currently resides.
28. Husband does not own a home.
29. Wife has access to much larger financial resources.
30. Wife has consistently delayed litigation.
31. Wife's refusal to sign paperwork which would be beneficial to both parties further
denies Husband the resources with which he might advance litigation.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court order Plaintiff Terrie A.
Garlick to make an interim distribution against equitable distribution to Defendant Mark A. Garlick
in an amount equal to the initial bonus for signing the oil and gas lease agreement as proposed by
Chesapeake Appalachia, L.L.C. in their letter dated December 20, 2010.

RE: Oil and Gas Lease
Dear Mr. Garlick:
I'm writing this letter to you in regards to a piece of property that you own located in
Wyalusing Township, Bradford County Pennsylvania. At this time Chesapeake Energy is
determining which properties they can include in their drilling units and which properties they
will be forced to exclude and drill around.
By signing an oil and gas lease agreement with Chesapeake Energy you will receive an
upfront bonus offer and royalty on the natural gas that is marketed from under your property.
A well unit In your area could typically produce gas for possibly 50 years providing you and
your family with royalties for the life production of the wells drilled in your area. if you do not
sign a lease agreement, Chesapeake will be forced to drill around your property and you will
be excluded from the unit and receive no compensation.
At this time we are offering $4000.00 per acre in upfront bonus money and 18% royalty.
You would get a bonus check in 120 business days in the amount of $70,520.00 Please call me
for more information about these exciting developments that are occurring in your area and to
discuss our current offer as it Is always subject to change.
Best Regards,
Justin Clark,

TO EXECUTE LEASE
And now comes Terrie A. Garlick and by and through her attorney, Nora F.
Blair, Esquire files this Answer to Petition for Special Relief to Compel Terri A.
Garlick to Execute Lease and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Denied. The original Divorce Complaint was filed on April 22, 2002, was
then reinstated on October 23, 2002, reinstated on December 3, 2002 and
then reinstated March 10, 2003.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.
8. Admitted. By way of further response, the bonus would only be payable if
the parties decide to enter into the lease. Further the property was
purchased using a loan from Plaintiff"s 401(k) for the down payment and a
mortgage against the property. Plaintiff has made all payments on the loan
for the down payment and the mortgage with most payments being made
after the parties' separation.
9. Denied. Plaintiff has no knowledge of what Defendant believes and
therefore this averment is denied. By way of further response, there is no
guarantee of any future payments.
10. Admitted.
11. Admitted. By way of further response, Plaintiff's family lives in the area
where this land is located and Plaintiff plans to retire in that area and build
on the subject property. Therefore Plaintiff wants to insure the integrity of
the property.
12. Denied. It unknown how many lease agreements are being sought by
Chesapeake Appalachia, therefore this averment is denied.
13. Denied. It is specifically denied that Plaintiffs refusal to sign is a
dissipation of the marital estate. To the contrary the property was
purchased as land for building a retirement home and not with the idea of
making a large sum of money from an oil and gas lease.
14. Admitted.
15. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that Your Honorable Court
deny Defendant's request to enter into the oil and gas lease agreement as
proposed by Chesapeake Appalachia, L.L.C.
IN THE ALTERNATIVE
ORDER INTERIM DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL ESTATE
16. The answers to paragraphs 1-15 are incorporated by reference.
17. Admitted.
18. Denied. It is specifically denied that Husband paid almost all of the parties'
expenses. By way of further response, Husband's income was
approximately 30% of Wife's income and both parties put their income into
a joint account that was used to pay expenses.
19. Denied. it is specifically denied that Husband's business was profitable
after considering the amount of debt that was incurred for the business. By
way of further response, Wife refused to sign for an additional loan because
she had no idea what Husband had done with the funds from previous loans
and Husband was spending at least half of the week away from the marital
home without Wife having any idea where Husband was or what Husband
was doing. The debt for Husband's business forced Wife into a Chapter 13
bankruptcy where she paid back some of the debt through the Chapter 13
Plan and paid Husband for his equitable interest in marital property
through the Chapter 13 Plan.
20. Denied. It is specifically denied that there was no rational reason for Wife
not to sign the loan documents. Husband was not coming home and
Husband had not accounted for the funds that were disbursed from prior
loans. Wife did not want to incur any additional debt for a business that was
not producing sufficient income and where Husband was not at home.
21. Denied. Wife's failure to sign for yet another loan was not the cause of the
business failure. Only Husband knows what he had done with all of the
funds taken out in loans for the business. By way of further response,
Husband sold assets of the business but failed to pay any of the business
creditors with the funds that he received.
22. Denied. It is specifically denied that Husband has not been able to achieve
the same level of earnings which he was enjoying during the period in
which he owned the business. To the contrary, Husband's business only
survived because of the debt that was incurred. Husband's business was
not self-sustaining and Husband was unable to incur any debt on his own
but required Wife to co-sign for any debt to assist the business. Upon
information and belief, Husband has been doing quite well in his new
employment.
23. Admitted.
24. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that Wife has made
contributions to her 401(k). It is specifically denied that Husband made it
possible for her to make contributions. Husband's income from the
business was insignificant after deducting the loans taken out for the
business. By way of further response, husband received his equitable share
of the retirement accounts through the Chapter 13 Plan.
25. Denied. Wife has no idea what Husband did with all of the money from his
business and the funds from the loans taken out for the business. Therefore
Wife has no idea whether or not Husband has a 401(k) or retirement
package.
26. Admitted with clarification. Husband began spending half of his time away
from the marital residence. Wife had no idea where Husband was or what
Husband was doing. Therefore wife did not sign for an additional loan and
Husband abandoned the marital residence thereby vesting control in Wife.
By way of further response, the parties daughter and grandchild live in this
home.
27. Denied. It is specifically denied that Wife has purchased a separate home
or that Wife has purchased any real estate since the parties' separation.
Strict proof is demanded at hearing.
28. Denied. It is unknown as to what Husband owns.
29. Admitted. By way of further response, Wife has worked hard and has saved
for herself and her future. In addition Wife has paid on the debt created for
Husband's business and paid Husband for his equitable share of marital
property through the Chapter 13 Plan.
30. Denied. It is specifically denied that Plaintiff has delayed litigation.
Defendant has had several attorneys throughout this process which has
caused delay. Further it is Defendant who has caused the delays. In fact
nothing occurred after counsel for Plaintiff sent a detailed letter to counsel
for Defendant in October 2, 2009, until counsel for Plaintiff discussed the
case with Attorney Mooney at the York county Courthouse.
31. Denied. It is specifically denied that signing the lease presented to Plaintiff
would be appropriate.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that Your Honorable Court
deny the request that Plaintiff make an interim distribution against equitable
distribution to Defendant Mark A. Garlick in the amount equal to the initial bonus
for signing the oil and gas lease agreement as proposed by Chesapeake
Appalachia, L.L.C. in their letter dated December 20, 2010.

agree that the terms of this Agreement provide for payment by one spouse
for or on behalf of the other spouse and that such payments are necessary
for the support and maintenance of the other spouse.
22. WAIVER OF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. Unless otherwise
specifically set forth in this Agreement, each party hereto specifically
waives any and all beneficiary rights and any and all rights as a surviving
spouse in and to any asset, benefit or like program carrying a beneficiary
designation which belongs to the other party under the terms of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to pensions and retirement plans of
any sort or nature, deferred compensation plans, life insurance policies,
annuities, stock accounts, bank accounts, final pay checks or any other post-
death distfibution scheme. The parties by the terms of this Agreement
specifically waive the rights of spouse beneficiaries established by federal
22
or state statute including ERISA. Each party expressly states that it is his
or her intention to revoke by the terms of this Agreement any beneficiary
designations naming the other party which are in effect as of the date of
execution of this Agreement. If the other party continues to be named as
beneficiary and no alternate beneficiary is otherwise designated, the
beneficiary shall be deemed to be the estate of the deceased party. Not
withstanding the foregoing, however, in the event that either party hereto
specifically designates the other party as a beneficiary after the date of
execution of this Agreement, then this waiver provision shall not bar that
party from qualifying as such beneficiary.
23. DIVIDED ASSETS. The parties agree to divide all of their assets including
but not necessarily limited to real estate, financial accounts, cash,
retirement funds, motor vehicles, personal effects and household contents
as set forth in this Agreement. Husband and Wife hereby assign all of their
respective rights, title and interest to the other as to the divided assets as set
forth in this Agreement. Husband shall be the sole and exclusive owner of
such assets as divided herein and designated for Husband. Wife shall be the
sole and exclusive owner of such assets as divided herein and designated for
Wife.
24. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE. The parties agree and acknowledge that
their marriage is irretrievably broken, and that they do not desire marital
7Z 23 jo-
counseling. The parties agree to have the divorce decree entered in the
divorce action filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Cumberland County
at number 02-1969 pursuant to Section 3301(c) of the Pennsylvania Divorce
Code, Act 26 of 1980, as may be amended (herein referred to as the Code).
Accordingly, both parties agree to execute such stipulations, consents,
affidavits, or other documents and to direct their respective attorneys to
forthwith file such stipulations, consents, affidavits, or other documents as
may be necessary to proceed to obtain a divorce pursuant to said Section
3301(c) of The Code. Counsel for the parties shall withdraw all claims
necessary for the Decree to be entered including but not limited to the
Motion for the Appointment of the Master, the Petition for Bifurcation, the
Petition to Transfer Venue and the Petition for Special Relief regarding the
Oil and Gas Lease. Upon request, to the extent permitted by law and the
applicable Rules of Civil Procedure, the named defendant in such divorce
action shall execute any waivers of notice or other waivers necessary to
expedite such divorce.
25. WARRANTY AS TO EXISTING OBLIGATIONS. Each party represents
that they have not heretofore incurred or contracted for any debt or liability
or obligations for which the estate of the other party may be responsible or
liable, except as may be provided for in this Agreement. Each party agrees
to indemnify and hold the other party harmless for and against any and all
A 24
such debts, liabilities or obligations of every kind which may have
heretofore been incurred by them, including those for necessities, except for
the obligations arising out of this Agreement.
26. WARRANTY AS TO FUTURE OBLIGATIONS. Husband and Wife each
covenant, warrant, represent and agree that, with the exception of
obligations set forth in this Agreement, neither of them shall hereafter incur
any liability whatsoever for which the estate of the other may be liable.
Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party for and
against any and all debts, charges and liabilities incurred by the other after
the execution date of this Agreement, except as may be otherwise
specifically provided for by the terms of this Agreement.
27. WAIVER OR MODIFICATION TO BE IN WRITING. No modification or
waiver of any of the terms hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed
by both parties, and no waiver of any breach hereof or default hereunder
shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar
nature.
28. MUTUAL COOPERATION. Each party shall, at any time and from time to
time hereafter, take any and all steps and execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the other party any and all further instruments and/or documents that
the other party may reasonably require fof the purpose of giving full force
and effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania which are in effect as of the date of execution of this

32. NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect unless and until terminated under and pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect the right of
such party hereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any default
or breach of any provision hereof be construed 'as a waiver of any
subsequent default or breach of the same or similar nature, nor shall it be
construed as a waiver of strict performance of any other obligations herein.

their rights under this Agreement or for seeking such other remedies of
relief as may be available to him or her.
34. SEVERABILITY. If any term, condition, clause or provision of this
Agreement shall be determined or declared to be void or invalid in law or
otherwise, then only that term, condition, clause or provision shall be
stricken from this Agreement and, in all other respects, this Agreement
shall be valid and continue in full force, effect and operation. Likewise, the
failure of any party to meet her or his obligations under any one or more of
the paragraphs herein, with the exception of the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent, shall, in no way, void or alter the remaining
obligations of the parties.
35. HEADINGS NOT PART OF AGREEMENT. Any headings preceding the
text of the several paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are inserted solely
for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement, nor Shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.
