I, Michael W. Dirle, and representing myself, do hereby make appeal to the courts for
redress and protection in this action.
First, I acknowledge the existing marriage since July 7th, 1973. While there have
been many continuous years of happiness and respect, I do find that, due to neglect
on the part of both parties, our marriage is damaged and irreparable. Hence, this
action and my request for equitable distribution of marital property by the Court.
I ask for consideration of the lack of timeliness of my actions. Due to the demand of
the plaintiff for me to leave my own home and seek asylum elsewhere, I have just
this past week, established a permanent residence, as shown above.
COUNT II - EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL PROPERTY
Due to the failure of both parties in this marriage, I seek equitable, meaning equal
and not punitive, distribution of properties. I feel that a distribution favoring one
party indicates malice or more neglect on the part of one party. This is not the case.
Plaintiff is suing for none other than an irreparable relationship.
COUNT III - ALIMONY, ETC.
Ref. line 13, "Plaintiff is without sufficient funds to support herself..."
Plaintiff has access and control of all of my current income. By mutual agreement,
she is maintaining the household with all of my income. I am receiving nothing from
my earned retirements, but am living off minor investments that were cashed in.
These were to have been part of my retirement and are now being prematurely
consumed.
Ref. line 15, "Defendant has adequate earnings to provide support for Plaintiff and to
pay her counsel fees, costs and expenses."
The fault of this divorce belongs to both parties, I am, therefore, willing to pay for
half of the fees accrued in the action.
COUNT IV - ALIMONY
Owing to the fact that this action of divorce is of equal fault and cause, I am willing
to pay alimony in the amount reflecting such equity, or 50%. This would be of past
income (retirements) earned while in our marital relationship, and none of a future
origin, income, benefits or other emoluments.
Ref. line 17, Plaintiff lacks sufficient property..."
If the property of residence (9 Colgate Drive, Camp Hill, PA 17011) were to be sold
at the recently appraised price or more, and the equity divided evenly, the plaintiff
would have sufficient resources for purchasing a property that would be more in
line with her current and future needs.
To delay or postpone such a sale is punitive in respect to the Defendant who also
requires income for housing. The current market (as I have seen in the Camp Hill
area) will allow for an immediate sale without loss to the value and financial
distribution of proceeds.
When this property was purchased in 1999, there were multiple children at home
and space was required for their residence. Since that time, additional living
quarters have been constructed for even more inhabitants. No one else is residing
at this property other than the plaintiff. Consequently, a smaller property would not
encumber the plaintiffs ability for respect, entertainment or self-support.
Ref. line 18, "appropriate employment..."
The makeup and expenses of this household have changed drastically. Whereas,
most recently there were two men in the household who consumed the
preponderance of food, energy, utilities and other expenses, neither will be residing
there as of February 2012. Consequently, total expenses should be considerably
reduced.
The plaintiff has an education and experience teaching and should be able to find
either part- or full-time employment in the many schools in the immediate school
district.
However, owing to her age and employment history, expanding her current piano
business would be more realistic and less stressful. She charges $30 an hour for
piano lessons. Over the past few years, her clientele has been between 14 and 20
students taking % hour lessons. If she had 16 students, that equals one eight hour
day. I ask the court to consider the time and effort required for her income needs.
Additional students do not affect her overhead. This increase by means of increased
students could be expanded or limited as her need for current and future earnings
evolve. She has had numerous referrals of recent history.
Plaintiff is also in a position to receive familial, social and financial support from her
childr*n and church, all of whom reside nearby. The defendant has not such
support.
Defendant does not have sufficient income or assets to provide continuing and
indefinite support for the plaintiff and himself. With the equal division of marital
propOties and the payment of alimony, defendant will be required to re-enter a job
market that is on the down turn. This, and his age, put the defendant in an earning
disadvantage, that is not as easily remedied as the plaintiff.
I applonor eciate the Court's consideration of my personal plea and requests and will
fully any and all decisions.
