BILL OF PARTICULARS
In compliance with the Rule Entered by the Prothonotary n the above-entitled case the
Plaintiff submits the following Bill of Particulars:
The Plaintiff avers that in violation of her marriage vows, under the Law of this
Commonwealth the said Becky A. Butler, the Defendant, has offered such indignities to the
person of the Plaintiff as to render the condition of the Plaintiff intolerable, his life burdensome
and thereby forced him fi.om their home in cohabitation with her.
1. Such conduct began shortly after the parties' marriage such that in August 1996, your
Plaintiff left the marital residence for approximately one month due to the fact that the parties
were not getting along. Most specifically these concerns concerned housework, the upkeep of
the house, and a lack of communication. Your Plainfiffreturned to the marital residence after
approximately one (1) month whereupon the Defendant did at that point begin to help with the
housework and the upkeep of the home, however she did refuse to attend counseling sessions in
order to help with the parties communication.
2. From the date of the marriage through the Spring of 1999, the Defendant pursued a
course of a conduct toward the Plaintiff which envinced an utter want of affection and sympathy
for him and which was continually characterized with hatred, settled malice, disrespect, ill
treatment, unkindness, which was not only consistent with the duty of the Defendant toward the
Plaintiff as his wife, but also humiliating, mortifying and degrading to the Plaintiff.
3. In the Spring of 1999, the Plaintiff again moved out of the marital residence due to the
fact that there was absolutely no help from the Defendant with the upkeep of the house or the
parties' pets. The Plaintiff did everything himself. The Plaintiff avers that the Defendant sat in
front of her computer or the television when she was home. A sex life did not exist because
there was no desire from the Defendant toward the Plaintiff for such.
4. After a short separation in the Spring of 1999 the Plaintiff moved back in due to the
fact that he missed the security of the relationship. Again your Defendant refused to go to
marriage counseling to try and improve the communication and sharing of responsibilities in the
marriage.
5. The parties eventually separated for good on January 12, 2002 when your Plaintiff
moved out of the marital residence and eventually filed for a divorce. The complaints and the
problems have remained the same throughout the course of the marriage.
6. The Plaintiff avers that the parties live two (2) separate lives: Defendant worked and
had the National Guard and her computer. The Plaintiff did all of his own laundry (he quit doing
hers when she quit putting it away), cooked 95% of the meals, did all housework that was done
and constantly worked on home repairs and landscape projects.
7. The parties never did anything together. The Defendant did what she wanted to do
thus forcing Plaintiff to do things alone. Plaintiff actually spent twice as much time with
Defendant's dad and brother as he did with the Defendant due to Defendant's lack of interest.
8. There was no common courtesy in the relationship. Up until the time of final
separation Plaintiff would always leave a note or message as to where he was going or what he
was doing. He always had his cell phone with him and could always be reached. When he was
on his way home from somewhere he would call to see if she needed anything. The Plaintiff
never received anything in return. It could be 8:00 p.m. and she would still not be home from
work. She would never call saying she was running late.
9. There was no communication between the parties. When the Plaintiff would start a
conversation it would just turn into a question and answer session from Defendant.
10. Plaintiff reluctantly did a lot of things with Defendant's family, which he has no
problem with but when it came to Plaintiff's family there was always a problem with doing
something when Plaintiff wanted or needed to do something with his family.
11. The Defendant never returned calls to her friend and when with Plaintiff's friends,
Defendant made is very obvious she did not want to be there and thus Plaintiff's friends would
not ask the parties out again. The Defendant would not talk to anyone and would just stand in
the comer and be there.
12. As time went on and on the parties had less and less :in common.
13. The Defendant made certain allegations in a protection from abuse action, which are
out and out lies. She eventually dropped the action.
14. Your Plaintiff has attempted time and time again to effect the sharing of
responsibilities within the marriage and to open lines of communication through marriage
counseling which your Defendant has continually refused to pursue choosing instead to spend all
of her time at work and the National Guard and with her family to detriment of the Plaintiff.
15. The Defendant's conduct as aforesaid was not induced or provoked by the Plaintiff in
any way whatsoever, but on the contrary, the Plaintiff was industrious in advancing the interests
of the Defendant, always kind, loving and affectionate toward her and did every means within
his power to move this marriage forward.
16. As a result of the indignities offered to him by the Defendant as herein before
mentioned, the Plaintiff was forced into almost complete isolation which caused such a strain on
him as to render his condition intolerable, his life was made burdensome and he was thereby
forced to withdraw from the party's home and cohabitation with the Defendant on January 12,
2002, since which time he has lived separate and apart.
