JOAN E. RAKES,
Defendant
IN DIVORCE
PETITION TO REOPEN AND REINSTATE DIVORCE
1. Petitioner is the Plaintiff, Frank 1. Rakes, who currently resides at 109 MoorelandA venue,
Mt. Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17065.
2. Respondent is Defendant Joan E. Rakes, (Pro Se) who currently resides at 91 R Autumn
Lane, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
3. Plaintiff filed a Complaint in Divorce on February 12, 2002.
4. Defendant was timely and properly served with the Complaint on February 13,2002.
5. After the Divorce Complaint was filed, the parties attempted a reconciliation.
6. The reconciliation attempt failed and Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint in Divorce on
July 28, 2006, which was accepted by the Prothonotary.
7. Prior to filing the Amended Complaint, counsel for Plaintiff checked the Cumberland
County dockets online for this docket number and there was no indication that the case had been
terminated, purged or closed for any reason, including inactivity.
8. After checking the docket online and filing the Amended Complaint, which the
Prothonotary accepted, Plaintiff proceeded to finalize the divorce.
.' ,..
;;
9. On or about August 21,2006, Plaintiff attempted to file a Marital Settlement Agreement,
Affidavits of Consents and Waivers ofNotice under Section 3301 (d) of the Divorce Code, and a Praecipe
to Transmit the Record.
10. At that time, the ProthonotaIyinformed counsel for Plaintiff that the docket had been closed
due to activity in November of2005, and they wrongly had accepted the Amended Divorce Complaint.
11. Counsel for Plaintiff was then advised to petition the Court to re-open the case because
the Prothonotary had not indicated the case was closed when they accepted the Amended Complaint.
12. Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to re-open the divorce matter at the above docket
number to allow the parties to proceed with the divorce because the Prothonotary failed to indicate that
the docket was closed on their system (although not on the online system) and accepted an Amended
Complaint, which Plaintiff relied upon in proceeding to attempt to finalize the divorce under this docket
number, believing the docket number and matter were still open.
13. Defendant has consented to the divorce under this docket when she signed her Affidavit
of Consent and Waiver of Notice on August 17,2006.
14. To make Plaintifffile anew divorce action would be against judicial and financial economy,
and the parties would have to wait several months for the divorce to be final.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to vacate any prior orders terminating,
closing or purging this docket and allow Plaintiffto proceed with finalizing the divorce under same.
