VAUGHN, III Defendant DIVORCE PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF AND NOW, this 13th day of Mav, 2005, comes the Petitioner, Frances T. Vaughn, by her attorney, Diane G, Radcliff, Esquire, and files the above referenced Petition for Special Relief and represents that: 1. Your Petitioner is Frances T. Vaughn, ("Wife") and is the Plaintiff in the above captioned divorce action. 2. The Respondent is Defendant is George A. Vaughn, III ("Husband") , and is the Defendant in the above referenced divorce action. 3. The Respondent, Fulton Bank, is a bank having a place of business located at One Penn Square, Lancaster, PA 17602 4. Plaintiff and Defendant were married on September 8, 1977 at Berwick, PA, 5. The parties separated on or about December 2003. 6. Husband is an attorney duly authorized to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He currently is not working. 7. Husband claims to be disabled, but to the best of Wife's knowledge has not applied for social security disability (SSD benefits) even though it is believed that if he were disabled, he would qualify for SSD benefits a rate of about $1,984 per month as shown on the social security disability estimate attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof. Wife further believes that if he would properly take his medication, he could again be employed as an attorney earning approximately $139,000 per year. 8, Wife was a stay at home mother and housewife for a period of 27 years and only . 1 . briefly worked as a decorative painter. Wife cannot work and is unemployed as a result of a back injuries, Wife does not have enough quarters to qualify for social security disability (SSD benefits) as shown on the Social Security Benefit Statement attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B", and made a part hereof. Wife has no source of income. 9. Until May 12, 2005, the parties were joint owners as tenants by the entireties of a certain tract of improved real estate known and numbered as 3606 Golfview Road, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050, ("Marital Residence"), which was acquired in part using a $20,000 contributed by Wife's father. The Marital Residence was subject to a lien in favor of Countrywide which had been in default and foreclosure proceedings instituted until that mortgage was paid at a settlement on the sale arranged and procured by Wife, which settlement occurred on May 12, 2005 as hereafter referenced. 10. Wife is the sole owner of a property numbered as 928 Belair Drive, Berwick, Luzerne County, PA, ("Berwick Property"). The Berwick Property was previously owned by Wife's 84 year old father, Alfred E. Tonolo. Wife's father wanted to transfer the Berwick Property to Wife as an advancement on her inheritance and so that she would not have to pay taxes thereon upon his death. However, during the marriage and at Wife's request the property was transferred to the joint name of Husband and Wife. At the time of transfer was not subject to any lien or encumbrance. Husband later transferred his interest in the Berwick Property to Wife, and thereupon it was held in her sole name and remains so titled as of this date. 11. Husband previously had a solo law practice and real estate title insurance agency and owned the real estate and building thereon in which that practice and agency operated, numbered as 3904 Trindle Road, Camp Hill, PA 17011, which was acquired in part using $10,000 contributed by Wife's father ("Law Practice Real Estate"), 12. As part of Husband's law practice and real estate title insurance agency, in 1999 Husband secured a line of credit with Fulton Bank, ("Fulton Bank Loan"), the repayment of which was guaranteed by Wife, 13. Husband closed his law practice in 2003 and in 2004 sold the Law Practice Real Estate without paying the Fulton Bank Loan, even though the sale of the Law Practice Real Estate and associated law practice items generated sufficient funds that could have been used to pay the Fulton Bank Loan. Instead, Husband used the net sales proceeds to pay unsecured debts in his own name that had not been - 2 ' guaranteed by Wife. 14. When Husband failed to pay the Fulton Bank Loan and further failed to make the required payments for the Fulton Bank Loan, Fulton Bank, by and through its attorney, Scott F, Landis, Esquire, confessed judgment against both Husband and Wife in two separate confession of judgment actions in Cumberland County docked to No. 05-293 and 05. 05-294 respectively. A true and correct copy of the Confession of Judgment against Wife, ("Wife's Confessed Judgment") is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "c" and made a part hereof. 15. Fulton Bank also transferred and entered Wife's Confessed Judgment in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania ("Luzerne County Judgment") thereby creating a lien against the Berwick Property. A true and correct copy of the Luzerne County Judgment is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "0", and made a part hereof. 16. The Marital Residence sold on May 12, 2005 and generated $113,274.45 in settlement proceeds, ("Settlement Proceeds") as shown on the HUO.1 Settlement Sheet, and settlement proceeds check. A true and correct copy of the HUD-1 Settlement Sheet is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "E" and made a part hereof. A true and correct copy of the Settlement Proceeds check is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "F", and made a part hereof. 17. When settlement was held on the Marital Home on May 12, 2005, Wife proposed that the Fulton Bank Loan in the amount of $57,508.46 be paid as she believed, and continues to believe, it was a lien against the Marital Residence. A true and correct copy of the payoff statement good through April 14, 2005, is attached hereto, marked Exhibit G" , and made a part hereof. A true and correct copy of the original proposed HUD.1 settlement sheet with the Fulton Bank Loan pay off set forth thereon is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "H" and made a part hereof. 18, Despite the fact that the Fulton Bank Loan was Husband's debt for his law practice or title insurance agency, Husband refused to pay the Fulton Bank Loan from the Settlement Proceeds, and further refused to complete settlement unless all of the Settlement Proceeds were held in escrow, As the result of Husband's refusal to pay the Fulton Bank Loan, and the settlement agent's erroneous belief that the Fulton Bank Loan was not a lien on the Marital Residence, settlement was completed without payment of the Fulton Bank Loan. 19. At settlement Wife proposed that Wife's attorney act as Escrow agent for the Settlement Proceeds. Husband's attorney was asked if she would consent to the - 3 - same and agreed. Husband, on the other hand, refused to consent, and further refused to complete settlement unless Wife signed an escrow agreement designating Husband's attorney as escrow agent ("Escrow Agreement"), A true and correct copy of the Escrow Agreement is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "I" and made a part hereof. 20. Wife signed the Escrow Agreement under duress and as a result of the coercion of Husband since she was forced to sell the Marital Residence to avoid the loss thereof due to foreclosure and did not want to be liable to the Buyers of the Marital Residence as a result of matters that did not involve them. 21. The parties gave a special warranty deed to the Buyers of the Marital Residence, as a result of which there are legally liable for any liens that attached to the Marital Residence which were not paid at time of settlement. 22. Wife believes that since the Fulton Bank Loan was a single loan that both Husband and Wife agreed to pay, the Fulton Bank Loan was and continues to be a lien against the Marital Residence for which the parties are liable and which should be paid from the proceeds. 23. It is believed that Fulton Bank should be permitted to intervene in this matter, so that they may protect their interest and claim to the settlement proceeds as the result of their lien and the Fulton Bank Loan. 24. If the Fulton Bank Loan is not paid, the amount of the Fulton Bank Loan will increase as the result of interest, late charges and attorneys fees. 25. Neither party has the current income to pay the Fulton Bank Loan. 26, If the Fulton Bank Loan is not paid, Fulton Bank may execute on their lien and sell the Berwick Property and as a result thereof Wife's father will lose his home. 27. Wife is willing to have the Fulton Bank Loan paid from Settlement Proceeds. 28. Husband would not be harmed by the payment of the Fulton Bank Loan from the settlement proceeds. He is the primarily obligor on the Fulton Bank Loan and is required to pay the Fulton Bank Loan in any event. 29. Husband has an obligation to repay the parties' children $20,000.00 Husband borrowed from them by removing the same from their accounts ($10,000 from each account). Payment of the Fulton Bank Loan will not prevent the payment ,4- of these obligations nor any other marital debt that may exist as there will still be about $55,000 left after payment of the Fulton Bank Loan. 30. Overdue support obligations are an automatic lien against real estate. 31, At the time of settlement on the Marital Residence, there was a lien against that real estate for the overdue support obligation owed to Wife in the amount of $Z,5Z4.14, as evidenced by the support order dated April 15, Z005, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "J", and made a part hereof. 1 3Z, Wife is and was entitled to the payment of the overdue support obligation owed to her aforesaid in the amount of $Z,524.14 from the Settlement Proceeds which was erroneously not paid to her from the Settlement Proceeds. 33, According to Husband, he reportedly has no income with which to pay this overdue support obligation, although it is believed he has the capacity to earn sufficient income to do so. 34. Wife has no means of support and is in need to funds to support herself and to pay her attorneys fees and costs in this action. As a result thereof, Wife requests that $15,000 of the Settlement Proceeds be paid to her as an advancement on her equitable distribution share. 35. Wife has and will incur attorneys fees in bringing this Petition and claim is made therefor. 36. Husband's attorney, Barbara Sumple Sullivan, Esquire, has been contacted pertaining to the relief requested in this Petition and has not advised Wife's attorney that Husband will consent to the relief requested herein. 37. The following is the information pertaining to prior judge assignments in this case: A. The Honorable Edgar B. Bayley was assigned to and entered an order in the support case docketed to Cumberland County no. 008Z6 S 2004, Pacses No,619106737 'The support order is for $1371 per month for period of 9/14/04-11/8/04. $1371 : 16,452/yr:45,0739726027/day.

Defendant is George A. Vaughn, III and is currently represented by Barbara Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire 3. Plaintiff is Frances T. Vaughn and is currently represented by Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire. 4. This is an action for or involving a divorce and related economic issues. 5. Since Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire has undertaken the representation of Plaintiff, Frances T. Vaughn, the following events have occurred which make it impossible or impractical for her to continue in this legal representation: A. Frances T. Vaughn has incurred a substantial balance in attorneys fees owed to Petitioner and has failed to pay the balance owed when due in accordance with the terms of her fee agreement with the Petitioner. B. Plaintiff, Frances T, Vaughn and Petitioner have a substantial disagreement as to how the case should be handled and Petitioner is unable to abide by Plaintiff's instructions, and Plaintiff is unable to follow Petitioner's advice. 6. Petitioner has contacted Defendant's legal counsel regarding this Petition. Defendant's legal counsel has advised Petitioner that she neither consents to nor dissents to the request for leave to withdraw as legal counsel. A copy of Defendant's legal counsel's letter dated August 3,2005 is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "A". 7. This case was previously assigned to the Honorable Edgar Bayley. 8, The Divorce Master was recently appointed in this case. As of the current date no action has been taken by the Divorce Master to schedule a conference, hearing and/or the filing of Pre-Trial Statements. 9. Plaintiff previously filed a Petition for Special Relief requesting in part that a certain debt owed to Fulton Bank be paid from the proceeds of the sale of the parties' marital home. That matter is scheduled for a hearing before the Honorable Edgar B. Bayley on August 15, 2005 at 1 :30 pm. That action should be stayed so that Plaintiff can secure replacement counsel. WHEREFORE, the Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court to enter an Order 1.

You indicated that your petition would request a stay ofthe hearing scheduled for August 15, 2005. Please note that I have no issue with a continuance of the August 15, 200S hearing until such time as Mrs, Vaughn's representation is confumed, I would, however, like to have the house escrow check negotiated by the parties and placed in an interest bearing account until fmal resolution of this case, This would benefit both parties. Regarding your request of my position on your withdrawal, I am not going to take a position to either consent or dissent; I will leave that to determination of Judge Bayley based on your petition and Mrs. Vaughn's response, I am sending this to you in writing so that you can attach it to your petition when it is filed.

VAUGHN, Plaintiff (Respondent) IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA v. Civil Action - Law GEORGE A. VAUGHN, III, Defendant (Petitioner) : NO. 05-2508 PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF TO CONFIRM VENUE 1. Petitioner is Defendant, George A. Vaughn, III. 2. Respondent is Plaintiff, Frances T. Vaughn. 3. On May 16,2005, Respondent initiated the above captioned action in divorce, choosing Cumberland County, the last marital domicile, as the forum for this litigation. 4. By her Divorce Complaint, Respondent raised claims for Divorce (No Fault and Indignities), Equitable Distribution (of marital and non-marital property and marital debts), Alimony, Alimony Pendente Lite, Counsel Fees, Costs and Expenses. 1 5. In response to Respondent's Complaint, on or about July 27,2005, and in recognition of Respondent's already pending requests for Divorce and Equitable Distribution for Petitioner and Respondent's marital and non-marital assets and debts, Petitioner filed of record his own claims for Alimony, Alimony Pendente Lite, Counsel Fees, Costs and Expenses. 6. In addition to the pleadings, extensive proceedings have occurred in this matter in advancement of the pending claims and many issues and petitions remain outstanding. These are as follows: a) On May 16, 2005, Respondent filed a Petition for Special Relief concerning the disposition of the proceeds of the sale of the marital home. This Petition was to be heard at a hearing on July 16, 2005 and, upon stipulation of the parties' counsel, the hearing was rescheduled for August 15,2005. Respondent then filed a Motion for Continuance of the hearing on August 15,2005, to which Petitioner concurred, because the parties had reached a tentative agreement regarding all issues of the divorce. The matter was generally continued. This Petition remains generally pending in Cumberland County. 2 b) On July 26,2005, Petitioner had served discovery in the form of Interrogatories and Document Production Requests on Respondent. No timely response was made by Respondent. On October 19, 2005, Petitioner served a Supplemental Set ofInterrogatories on Respondent. To date, Respondent has not responded to the discovery requests. On November 23, 2005, Petitioner filed a Motion to Compel Responses to Discovery by Respondent in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 4006 and 4009.12. This Motion is presently pending in Cumberland County. c) On November 30,2005, Petitioner filed a Motion For Special Relief to Compel Respondent to Endorse Check for deposit into Petitioner's counsel's escrow account. This was to secure compliance with prior written agreement of the parties. The prior agreement provided that the parties would execute the proceeds check received from the sale of the marital home and deposit same into an escrow account held by Petitioner's counsel. To date, despite efforts by her prior counsel, Respondent has refused to execute the check for deposit in accordance with the parties' written agreement. This Motion is presently pending in Cumberland County. 3 d) Petitioner then served Notice for the Deposition of a witness, Alfred Tonolo, Respondent's Father, for December 9,2005. A subpoena was issued on November 17, 2005 for the attendance ofMr. Tonolo and same was served on November 19, 2005. Despite service and payment of the requisite witness fee, Mr. Tonolo failed to appear for the Deposition. This matter is presently pending in Cumberland County. 7. Also pending in Cumberland County is Respondent's support action against Petitioner filed to Docket No. 00826 S 2004 and P ACSES No. 619106737. This action had been heard at the conference level on October 13, 2004, and before the Support Master on December 7,2004. Respondent then filed exceptions to the Support Master's fmdings dated January 7, 2005. After extensive briefing, an Order was entered on April 15, 2005, which required Respondent to immediately proceed with medical evaluations of Petitioner. Despite the Order, Respondent took no action to schedule the medical evaluations. On November 17, 2005, Petitioner filed a Motion to Terminate the Appeal requesting the Support Master's Order of January 7, 2005 become a final Order, due to the lack of compliance by Respondent with the Order of April 15, 2005. This motion is presently pending in Cumberland County. 4 8. Petitioner further has a reciprocal support action to Docket No. 01101 S 2004 and PACSES No. 685106971 pending against Respondent, which action was contingent on the resolution of the Respondent's support action set forth in Paragraph 7 above. This action is also presently pending in Cumberland County. 9. On August 4,2005, Respondent's second counsel filed a Petition to Withdraw as Legal Counsel and for Stay of Proceedings. The parties had agreed to stay the proceedings pending final efforts for resolution of settlement. On October 24, 2005, Respondent's attorney then filed a Petition to make the Rule allowing her withdrawal absolute when these negotiations faltered. The Petition was granted to Respondent's counsel allowing withdrawal by Order dated October 31, 2005. 10. Although represented by counsel at the time relevant hereto, Respondent filed a Praecipe to Withdraw the Divorce Complaint on October 28,2005. 11. Contrary to Pa. R.C.P. 440, Respondent failed to serve a copy of the Praecipe on any party to this' action. 12. Despite Petitioner's pending claims, all of the extensive litigation occurring to this case and Respondent's failure to follow civil procedure, Respondent has now simply filed a new action in Divorce to Docket No. 12842-C of 2005 and a new 5 action in Support to Docket No. 02226-2005, PACSES No. 280107864 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. 13. Respondent's actions clearly constitute forum shopping. 14. As set forth above, extensive litigation, including Petitioner's Petition Raising Marital Claims, has occurred and remain pending in this matter, the county where the matter was first initiated by Respondent herself. 15. Cumberland County is also the county of the parties' last marital domicile. 16. In accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 1920.2, Respondent has taken significant actions to participate in and advance the proceedings, thus, vesting venue in this matter in Cumberland County. 17. Withdrawal or removal of the action at this juncture of the litigation would result in extensive prejudice to Defendant and be contrary to the principles of judicial economy and equity. 18. Respondent's attempt at withdrawal shall be deemed inappropriate and dismissed. 6 19. Petitioner has additionally filed further ancillary claims for Divorce and Equitable Distribution to allow the matter to proceed against Respondent in Cumberland County. 20. All matters shall be heard by this court including Divorce, Equitable Distribution, Alimony, Alimony Pendente Lite, Support, Counsel Fees and Costs. WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to confirm venue in Cumberland County. DATE: December 13,2005 Respectfull bmitted, /} ~AU-.

BY, 123 West Front Street ORIGINAL FILED IN THIS ACTION Berwick, pennsylvania 18603 BY: ************************* ATTORNEY ATTORNEY IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA FRANCES T. VAUGHN, Plaintiff, No. 05-2508 CIVIL TERM vs. CIVIL ACTION - LAW DIVORCE GEORGE A VAUGHN, III Defendant. RESPONDENT. FRANCES T. VAUGHN'S ANSWER TO PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF TO CONFIRM VENUE The Respondent, Frances T. Vaughn, by and through her attorneys, ALICE T. K. CORBA, ESQUIRE and KEPNER, KEPNER & CORBA, P.C., hereby answers the said Petition as follows: A. Preliminarily, the Respondent, Frances T. Vaughn, objects to the Order to Respond to said Motion to Confirm Venue. Respectfully, the Divorce Complaint filed to No. 05-2508 was withdrawn from the docket of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County on or about October 28,2005. See Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. B. In the alternative, the Respondent answers the Petition as follows: 1. Admitted and is a present resident at 223 Martzville Road, Berwick, Pennsylvania. 2. Admitted and whose present residence is at 927 Belair Drive, Berwick, Pennsylvania. 1 3. Admitted. 4. Admitted. 5. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that the Petitioner filed of record his claims of alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs and expenses. However, they were filed to Docket No. 00826-S-2004, PACSES Case No. 619106737. No Answer or Counterclaim was filed to Docket No. 05-2508. 6. a) through c) Admitted. d) Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that a Notice was served and the same is immaterial to the issue at hand. It is denied that a response was not received. See Exhibit "B" which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. 7. Admitted. 8. Admitted. However, it is immaterial to the fact that no Answer or Counterclaim was filed to the Docket No. 05-2508, which action was withdrawn by the Plaintiff. 9. Admitted. 10. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that a Praecipe to Withdraw the Divorce Complaint was filed on October 28,2005. However, at that time, the Respondent was not represented by counsel in Cumberland County. II. Pa. R.C.P. 440 provides that service is to be made of all pleadings. Service of the October 28,2005 pleading was served by the Respondent immediately and then served for a second time by Respondent's counsel in Luzerne County in response to a subpoena to Mr. Tonolo on or about December 2,2005. See Exhibit "c" attached hereto and made a part hereof. 2 12. It is admitted that the Respondent has filed a divorce in Luzerne County and has had proper service made on Mr. Vaughn. 13. Denied. The Respondent is not forum shopping. The Respondent, Frances Vaughn, has been a resident of Luzerne County for longer than one year's time. Further, the Petitioner, Mr. Vaughn, has been a resident of Columbia County for an unknown number of months. Litigation in Cumberland County became trying and expensive for the Respondent. As neither party resided in the same county for in excess of a year, the Respondent withdrew her claim and filed a new action in her domicile county. 14. Denied. There are no pending matters relating to Docket No. 05-2508 as no Answer or Counterclaim was filed and the matter has been withdrawn. 15. Admitted. However, the last marital domicile was over twelve (12) months ago. 16. Denied. The Respondent denies all averments set forth in Petitioner's paragraph 16 on the grounds that said averments are conclusions oflaw rather than statements of fact so that no response is due of the Respondent. 17. The withdrawal or removal of the action at this juncture has already occurred by virtue of the fact that no Answer or Counterclaim was filed by the Petitioner; therefore, the Respondent files that the principles of judicial economy and equity are better served for her purposes in Luzerne County. 18. Denied. It is denied and requested that the withdrawal not be deemed inappropriate and dismissed. The Respondent objects preliminarily as to the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court to mandate that the withdrawal is inappropriate and dismiss it. 19. Denied. It is denied that any further ancillary claims for Divorce and 3 Equitable Distribution and an Answer or Counterclaim which is filed after the withdrawal of the Complaint is null, void and invalid. WHEREFORE, the Respondent respectfully requests that this Honorable Court recognize that jurisdiction and venue no longer lie in Cumberland County and dismiss the Petition for Special Relief to Confirm Venue.
