Re: Margaret H. Ford-Boscaccy v. Gerard A. Boscaccy
Cumberland County Divorce No. 02-681
Dear Joanne:
FILE
On February 10, 2004 you sent me a letter advising me that you had taken over Gerard
Boscaccy's representation asking that I sign a praecipe to withdraw my appearance and
enter yours in the above-referenced case. You also requested that I pay my remaining
retainer to you. I complied with both of those requests on February 13, 2004.
I have just received the enclosure from the Divorce Master advising me that there was
no praecipe to withdraw my appearance on file with the Prothonotary. Please advise me
of the status of your representation. If you have not entered your appearance as
promised you need to refund the payment of the retainer fee in the amount of $657.50
so that I have funds available to cover the costs of obtaining leave to withdraw.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Very truly yours,

RE: Mar°aret H. Boscassy v. Gerald Boscaccy
Dear Divorce Master Elicker. Attorney Connelly, & Mr. Boscaccy:
Gerald Boscaccy
111 Stanford Court
Mechanicsburg, PA
17050
I received a letter from Diane Radcliff on Fridav, May 6, 2005, and I am somewhat concerned
that she was still officially entered as counsel of record in this divorce action. She indicated in that
correspondence that she had forwarded Mr. Boscacey's retainer to Reager & Adler, P.C.. and, in fact,
forwarded a Praecipe to Withdraw her appearance. Apparently, the Praecipe to Withdraw her appearance
was never officially entered with the Court. Needless to say, I believe it was an oversight at the office of
Reager & Adler, P.C., that this Praecipe to Withdraw Appearance was never entered of record.
Unfortunately, I am not able to assume Mr. Boscaccy's representation unless he contacts my
office and responds to recent correspondence I forwarded to him indicating he wishes me to represent him
in this matter. Reager & Adler, P.C. retained this file when I opened my own law practice on September
27, 2004. In any event. I wanted to write to the three (3) of you to make sure that the record clearly
reflects that Diane Radcliff has not represented Mr. Boscaccy since October 15, 2002, at which time I
under took his representation as an employee at Reager & Adler, P.C. When I departed Reager & Adler,
P.C., Mr. Boscaccy did not return a form to that law firm indicating whether he wished his file to remain
with Reager & Adler, P. C. or to be transferred to my new law practice, nor have I heard from brim.
If you need any further assistance regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Harrison

NO. 02-681 CIVIL TERM
MOTION FOR RULE ABSOLUTE AND ENTRY OF ORDER
AND NOW this 27" day of June , 2005, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire, Attorney of
Record for Gerard A. Boscaccy, the Defendant in the above-captioned case, hereby moves
this Honorable Court to make the Rule entered on June 9, 2005 absolute and to grant
Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire leave to withdraw as legal counsel and attorney of record for
Gerard A. Boscaccy, the Defendant in the above-captioned case, and assigns the following
reasons therefor:
1. On June 6, 2005, your Petitioner, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire filed a Petition
seeking to withdraw as legal counsel for Gerard A. Boscaccy, the Defendant in the
above-captioned case.
2. On June 9, 2005, this Honorable Court entered a Rule against the Respondents,
Gerard A. Boscaccy, Defendant, and John J. Connelly, Jr., Esquire, attorney for
Plaintiff, to show cause why the requested relief should not be granted, which
Rule was returnable 10 days after service.
3. On June 14, 2005, the Petitioner, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire, served a true and
correct copy of the Petition and Rule upon the Respondents as appears on the
June 14, 2005 transmittal letter attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
4. The 10 day response period expired on June 24, 2005, and no Answer to the Rule
has been filed by the Respondents.
5. Since the Respondents have failed to file an Answer or Response to the Rule within
the 10 day time period, the Petitioner is entitled to have the Rule made absolute
and have her request to withdraw as legal counsel granted.
Wherefore, Petitioner, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to make the Rule entered on June 9, 2005 absolute and grant her leave to
withdraw as legal counsel and attorney of record for Gerard A. Boscaccy, the Defendant
in the above-captioned case.

GERARD A. BOSCACCY, CIVIL ACTION-LAW
Defendant/Respondent IN DIVORCE
PETITION FOR BIFURCATION
AND NOW comes the Petitioner, Margaret H. Ford, by and through her counsel, John J.
Connelly, Jr. and the law firm of James, Smith, Dietterick & Connelly LLP, hereby respectfully
requests this Court grant her Petition for Bifurcation and in support thereof avers as follows:
Petitioner is Margaret H. Ford, Plaintiff in the above-captioned divorce action.
2. Respondent is Gerard A. Boscaccy, Defendant, in the above-captioned divorce
action.
3. Petitioner and Respondent are husband and wife, having been lawfully married on
November 13, 1982.
4. The parties have lived separate and apart since January 7, 2002, a period of over
two years.
5. On February 8, 2002, the Petitioner filed a Complaint in Divorce in the
Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas, asserting that the basis for the divorce was that the
marriage was irretrievably broken, pursuant to Section 3301(d) of the Divorce Code. Petitioner
also asserted indignities.
6. A true and correct copy of the Complaint in Divorce was served upon the
Defendant/Respondent on March 25, 2002.
7. Neither party's property rights would be affected in any way by bifurcation of this
divorce action. The Divorce Master has been appointed and an initial pre-trial conference was
held on August 1, 2005. A settlement conference is scheduled for December 27, 2005.
8. Bifurcation of the divorce would not alter the economic status quo.
9. Petitioner has suffered due to her inability to restructure her own personal life.
10. Bifurcation is authorized by the Divorce Code and Pa.R.C.P. 1920.52(d).
11. The public policy of this Commonwealth and the legislative intent of the Divorce
Code as set forth at 23 Pa.C.S.A. §3102(a) warrants the granting of a bifurcated Decree in
Divorce
12. Petitioner believes and therefore avers that the advantages of bifurcation in this
divorce action are substantially greater than any potential disadvantages for the following
reasons:
( a ) The parties have been separated for almost four (4) years.
( b ) A resolution of the divorce claim will allow the parties to restructure their
personal lives;
( c ) The litigation between the parties will be simplified and the stress
minimized by the granting of bifurcation in these circumstances;
(d) Bifurcation of this divorce action will assure that each party's personal life
is not held hostage to economic claims; and
(e) Bifurcation will in no way prejudice, diminish or impair Respondent's
economic circumstances or claims under the Divorce Code which are now pending before the
Divorce Master.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Petitioner, Margaret H. Ford, respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court grant her Petition for Bifurcation, reserving jurisdiction over any pending
ancillary economic claims.
Respectfully submitted,

wife.
After negotiations previously and this

record in the presence of the parties. The agreement will

THE MASTER: Today is Thursday, Mardi 9, ?r-
r
2006. This is the date set for a Master's hearing in the
above captioned divorce proceedings. Present in the hearing
room are the Plaintiff, Margaret H. Ford-Boscaccy, and her
counsel John J. Connelly, Jr., and the Defendant, Gerard A.
Boscaccy. He is not represented by counsel in these
proceedings. Attorney Radcliff was permitted to withdraw
pursuant to an order of Court.
The complaint in divorce was filed on
February 8, 2002, raising grounds for divorce of
irretrievable breakdown. The Master has been provided
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to
request entry of divorce decree signed and dated today by
both parties. The affidavits will be filed by the Master's
office with the Prothonotary; the divorce can conclude under
Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations Code.
The complaint raised on behalf of wife a
claim for equitable distribution; on October 15, 2002,
husband filed a counterclaim raising on his behalf a claim
1
for equitable distribution and claims for alimony, alimony
pendente lite and counsel fees and costs.
The parties were married on November 13,
1982, and separated January 7, 2002. They are the natural
parents of three children. One of the children is
emancipated and the remaining two minor children reside with
wife.
After negotiations previously and this
morning, the Master has been advised that the parties have
reached a settlement with respect to the outstanding
economic issues. An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties. The agreement will
be considered the substantive agreement of the parties not
subject to any changes or modifications except for
correction of typographical errors which may be during the
transcription. The parties and counsel are going to return
later this morning to review the transcription for
typographical errors, make any corrections as necessary, and
then sign the agreement affirming the terms of settlement as
stated on the record. However, it is specifically noted
that when the parties leave the hearing room they are bound
by the terms of the agreement even though there is no
subsequent signing of the agreement affirming the terms of
settlement.
Upon receipt by the Master of a completed
2
agreement the Master will prepare an order vacating his
appointment and counsel can then file a praecipe
transmitting the record to the Court requesting a final
decree in divorce. Mr. Connelly.
MR. CONNELLY: The parties, after
negotiations this morning, have reached an agreement on the
equitable distribution issues and Mr. Boscaccy by signing

counterclaim including but not limited to alimony, alimony
pendente lite, and counsel fees and costs.
1. The parties have agreed that each party will retain
assets in their possession which constitute the marital
property existing as of the date of this hearing. By way of
summary the parties have already divided equally the
proceeds from the sale of the marital residence with each
party receiving $11,378.49.
2. Mr. Boscaccy also is retaining his Pennsylvania School
Employees Retirement System pension except as specifically
set forth in this agreement. He is also retaining cash from

were nonmarital which is also included in the stock retained
by wife.
4. Wife shall also assume two ACS loans, one in the amount
3
of $25,432.68 which is for wife's education and $14,626.82
which is their daughter Kelsey's school loan.
5. In order to equalize equitable distribution husband
shall transfer from his pension at the Public School
Employees Retirement System contribution account the sum of
$30,000.00 at the time of his retirement. The amount to be
awarded to wife, who will be considered the alternate payee,
is $30,000.00 as of March 9, 2006, accumulated with interest
at the statutory rate currently 4% per annum compounded
annually from the current date until the date of the member
husband's retirement.
Upon death the $30,000.00 plus interest to date of
death of husband will be paid from his retirement account.
Husband shall be required to elect a retirement option that
includes return of contributions in order to effectuate the
payment of the $30,000.00 plus interest figure.
In the event husband becomes disabled and retires on
disability, he will pay to wife the sum of $500.00 per
month until the amount due to wife is paid in full. The
amount due to wife will be calculated based on $30,000.00
plus interest until the date of husband's disability.
Husband shall cooperate in executing documents
necessary to effectuate the Qualified Domestic Relations
Order in this matter which will be prepared by Harry

the estate of the other as a result of the marital
relationship including without limitation, statutory
allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to
take against the will of the other, and right to act as
administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will

advisable to carry into effect this mutual waiver and
relinquishment of all such interest, rights, and claims.

Dear Mr. Boscaccy:
The Public School Employee's Retirement System (PSERS) reviewed the court-signed
Domestic Relations Order (DRO) received on July 10, 2006 (copy enclosed).
This DRO has been qualified and approved by PSERS, with the following assumption,
and has been placed in your retirement file to be used by PSERS when processing your
retirement benefit.
Should your retirement plan conflict with the terms of the ADRO, it is your responsibility
to have the court modify the ADRO and to have the modified DRO sent to PSERS.
Additionally, you must submit a completed "Nomination of Beneficiary" (PSRS-187) and
execute an authorization, in a form acceptable by PSERS, allowing Margaret Ford-
Boscaccy access to your PSERS retirement account. Blank copies of both forms are
enclosed. A copy of the Divorce Decree will also be required.
PSERS role in interpreting Domestic Relations Orders is to determine compliance with
the Retirement Code and not whether the terms are beneficial to either party, or are in
compliance with other agreements (e.g. Marital/Property Settlement Agreements)
established between the parties. The parties should consult their own advisors about
whether the terms are advantageous to them or are in compliance with other
agreements.
The reference to "unless increased benefits are paid to Member based upon cost-of-
living adjustments..." will be ignored if the Alternate Payee's equitable distribution is
satisfied through a lump sum payment or the Member retires under a disability
retirement and the Alternate Payee receives a specific dollar amount each month. As
written, the DRO implies that the Alternate Payee is eligible for cost-of-living
adjustments (COLAS) that the member may receive. Neither of these scenarios make
provision for COLAs to be paid to the Alternate Payee.
Our interpretation of the Domestic Relations Order is:
Gerard Boscaccy
S.S. # ***-**-8603
April 6, 2007

In the event of the death of the Member prior to retirement, the following
conditions apply:
• The Alternate Payee is entitled to her equitable distribution interest in the
Member's death benefit. Her interest in the Member's death benefit is
$30,000.00 plus interest on that amount from March 9, 2006 until the Member's
date of death.
• The Member is required to nominate the Alternate Payee as an irrevocable
beneficiary to the extent of her equitable distribution interest as outlined above for
any death benefits payable by PSERS. A Nomination of Beneficiary form is
included for the Member to complete and return to the address indicated above.
Below is an example of how the Member should complete the enclosed
Nomination of Beneficiary form:
Margaret Ford-Boscaccy - According to ADRO (Do not list percentage,
address or Social Security number)
• The non-marital portion of the Member's death benefit will be paid to the last
known designated beneficiary(ies) on file with PSERS. This person has not been
named in the DRO.
In the event of the death of the Alternate Payee prior to the Member's retirement,
the following conditions apply:
• The Alternate Payee's equitable distribution interest in the Member's retirement
benefit shall be paid to the Alternate Payee's Estate.
In order to effectuate this provision of the DRO the Alternate Payee's
Estate must remain open and unsettled so that payments can be made.
In the event the Member and the Alternate Payee are both alive at the time of the
Member's retirement, the following conditions apply:
• If the Member retires under a regular retirement, the Member may elect any
retirement option available to him at the time he submits his Application for
Retirement. The Alternate Payee will not be entitled to any portion of the
Member's monthly retirement benefit.
Gerard Boscaccy
S.S. # ***-**-8603

The Member may elect to withdraw all or a portion of his contributions and
interest but at a minimum must elect to withdraw contributions and interest in the
amount of $30,000.00 plus statutory interest on that amount from March 9, 2006,
to the member's date of retirement, plus installment interest from the Member's
date of retirement through the date of distribution. This withdrawal will satisfy the
Alternate Payee's equitable distribution interest in the Member's benefit.
The Alternate Payee is eligible to rollover any portion of the lump sum
installment payment received. PSERS will contact the Alternate Payee
regarding this matter at the time of the Member's retirement.
It is the responsibility of the Alternate Payee to maintain current address
information with PSERS. If PSERS is unable to locate the Alternate
Payee, no interest will accrue on payments held on her behalf.
The Alternate Payee shall not be entitled to any Cost of Living Allowances
(COLAs) provided to the Member.
• Should the Member file an Application for Disability Retirement, he must select
the Maximum Single Life Annuity as his monthly benefit option.
Under a Disability Retirement, the Alternate Payee is entitled to a monthly
annuity of $500.00 from the Member's early retirement portion of the Member's
monthly disability retirement benefit. This amount will be paid to the Alternate
Payee until an amount equal to $30,000.00 plus interest from March 9, 2006 to
the date of the Member's disability disbursement is satisfied.
The following conditions apply upon the Member's death after retirement:
• If the Member retired under a regular retirement, there will be nothing due the
Alternate Payee, as her equitable distribution interest was satisfied by a lump
sum payment when the Member retired.
• If the Member retired under a Disability Retirement, and having elected the
Maximum Single Life Annuity, the Alternate Payee will receive the remaining
balance due her, if any, to an amount equal to $30,000.00 plus interest from
March 9, 2006 to the retirement date of the Member's disability.

In the event of the death of the Alternate Payee after the Member's retirement, the
following conditions apply provided the Member is still living:
• If the Member retired under a regular retirement, this is a moot point as the
Alternate Payee's equitable distribution interest in the Member's retirement
benefit will be satisfied at the time of the Member's retirement.
• If the Member retired under a disability retirement, the Alternate Payee's
equitable distribution interest in the Member's retirement benefit shall be paid to
the Alternate Payee's Estate.
If any of the parties do not agree with the interpretation of this ADRO, please
contact PSERS by May 7, 2007. If PSERS is not contacted by May 7, 2007, we will
assume the interpretation to be uncontested and the ADRO will be filed and used
when processing the member's retirement benefit once a divorce decree is
received.

the Member's retirement benefits is $30,000.00 increased with interest at the statutory rate (currently 4% per

disability retirement benefit to the Member or (b) the date of death of the Member or (c) the date of commencement
of a retirement benefit (other than a disability retirement benefit) to the Member.
Member's retirement benefit is defined as all monies paid to or on behalf of Member by PSERS,
including any lump stun withdrawals or scheduled or ad hoc increase, but not including the disability portion of
any disability annuities paid to Member by PSERS as a result of a disability which occurs before the Member's

retirement benefit does not include any deferred compensation benefits paid to Member by PSERS_ The equitable
distribution portion of the Member's retirement benefit, as set forth in Paragraph 7, shall be payable to Alternate
Payee and shall commence as soon as administratively feasible on or about the date the Member actually enters
pay status and PSERS approves a Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement,
whichever is later.

Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement benefit for any death benefits payable by PSERS.

Alternate Payee as a beneficiary, then: (1) the terms of the Domestic Relations Order shall alone govern Alternate
Payee's share of any death benefit, and (2) for purposes of paying the Balance via the last Nomination of
Beneficiaries f=orm filed with the Retirement Board prior to Member's death, Alternate Payee shall be treated as if
Alternate Payee predeceased Member. No portion of the Balance shalt be payable to Alternate Payee's estate.
(b) In addition, Member shall execute and deliver to Alternate Payee an authorization, in a form
acceptable to PSERS, which will authorize PSERS to release to Alternate Payee all relevant information
concerning Member's retirement account. Alternate Payee shall deliver the authorization to PSERS which will
allow the Alternate Payee to check that she has been and continues to be properly nominated under this paragraph.
10. The term and amounts of Member's retirement benefits payable to Alternate Payee after PSERS
approves a Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement depends upon which options
Member selects upon retirement. Member and Alternate Payee expressly agree that at the time Member files an
Application for Retirement allow with PSERS:
(a) Member shall elect to take a lump sum withdrawal of his accumulated deductions of at least the
amount of the Alternate Payee's equitable distribution share, as set forth in Paragraph 7. Alternate Payee's
equitable distribution portion, as set forth in Paragraph 7, shall be payable from that withdrawal.
(b) In addition, Member may select any PSERS retirement option for his monthly annuity.

individual tax forms to Member and Alternate Payee for amounts paid to each.
12. The Member and Alternate Payee agree that if the Member becomes disabled, the Member shall file
an application for disability retirement and he shall elect the maximum disability option. The Alternate Payee's
share of the Member's disability retirement benefits shall be paid to the Alternate Payee, by deducting $500 from
only the early retirement portion of the Member's monthly disability retirement benefit and paying this amount to
the Alternate Payee until and only until the Alternate Payee's share, as set forth in Paragraph 7, has been fully
paid. If the Member dies while receiving a disability retirement benefit from PSERS, any death benefit payable
by PSERS shall be paid to the Alternate Payee to the extent, if any, that her equitable distribution portion of the
Member's retirement benefit, as set forth in Paragraph 7, exceeds the total of the monthly payments he previously

establishing it or maintaining it as a Domestic Relations Order; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
require PSERS to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option not otherwise provided by PSERS, and
further provided that no such amendment or right of the Court to so amend will invalidate this existing Order.
18_ Upon entry as a Domestic Relations Order, a certified copy of the Domestic Relations Order and this
Stipulation and Agreement and any attendant documents shall be served upon PSERS immediately. The
Domestic Relations Order shall take effect immediately upon PSERS approval and PSERS approval of any

DEFENDANT/RESPONDENT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF/PETITIONER'S
PETITION TO ENFORCE MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Defendant/Respondent, Gerard A. Boscaccy, hereby submits this Response to
Plaintiff/Petitioner's Petition to Enforce Marriage Settlement Agreement and respectfully
requests that the Court DENY Plaintiff/Petitioner's request for counsel fees. In support thereof,
Defendant/Respondent avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Denied as stated. Defendant/Respondent contends that Exhibit "B" shows that
Plaintiff/Petitioner's Counsel forwarded the DRO to PSERS on July 7, 2006.
Defendant/Respondent cannot admit that Petitioner sent the DRO at her own expense.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted in part, denied in part. Defendant/Respondent admits that he failed to
send the requested documents to PSERS. However, Defendant/Respondent denies that he has
refused to do so and at no time has he indicated an intentional refusal to cooperate with the
requirements of the Agreement. Defendant/Respondent states that he fully intends to comply
with the requirements and further states that his delay in complying with PSERS's request. for
documents was not intended to deliberately injure or jeopardize Plaintiff/Petitioner in any way.
As good faith of this intention, Defendant/Respondent has sent all the required documents to
PSERS on or about August 11, 2007. See Exhibit "A", attached hereto.
7. Denied. By no means has Defendant/Respondent willfully disregarded the

Defendant/Respondent avers that at no time did Plaintiff/Petitioner's Counsel make a good faith

involvement. Defendant/Respondent further avers that had Plaintiff/Petitioner's Counsel made a
good faith effort to bring Defendant/Respondent's failure to comply with the requests of the
PSERS to his attention, Defendant/Respondent would have immediately rectified his failure to
produce the requested documents, as he has already done.
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Respondent requests that this Honorable Court deny
Plaintiff/Petitioner's request for counsel fees.
