7. Defendant has breached the Agreement as described above and her breach of

RE: Michael P. Radich vs. Leslie A. Radich
No. 01 - 3675 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Andes and Mr. Wagner:
I am writing in response to Mr. Andes' letter of October 4,2002,
requesting a directive for pretrial memos.
Before issuing a directive, I need to know if the parties want to
continue with the separation date hearing which began on February 14,
2002.
Also, Mr. Wagner indicated that his client would file an affidavit of
consent. No affidavit of consent has been filed by wife.
Following the hearing on February 14, 2002, I noted by
correspondence that no economic claims had been raised. On June 2,
2002, Mr. Andes raised the economic claims of equitable distribution and
counsel fees and expenses. Counsel need to advise if discovery is
complete. I know that there is an issue with regard to the salability of a
house where husband is residing. I would expect that counsel should
exchange a list of witnesses they intend to call for a hearing and then we
can determine if counsel, after review of the witness list, need to engage
in further discovery. I am not aware of any appraisals or valuations that
have been compiled and obviously there is no point in pursuing this
matter until all of the economic data has been developed and exchanged.
(
Mr. Andes and Mr. Wagner, Attorneys at Law
7 October 2002

Counsel do not need a directive for pretrial statements in order to do that
exchange and complete discovery, since counsel know the issues.
Upon hearing from counsel in regard to the matters raised herein, I
will decide how I want to proceed.
Very truly yours,

RE: Michael P. Radich vs. Leslie A. Radich
No. 01-3675 Civil Term
Dear Mr. Elicker:
The above parties were before you several months ago on my client's
attempt to conclude a divorce. At that time both parties expressed a willingness to
file Affidavits of Consent and, because no economic claims were pending, you
vacated your appointment. Unfortunately, Mrs. Radich has not signed and filed the
Affidavit of Consent and, therefore, it will be necessary for us to proceed under
3301 (d) of the Divorce Code.
I filed a Petition for Economic Relief several months ago and, at that time,
filed a Motion to have you appointed to hear those claims as well. You were
appointed but, as yet, have not scheduled a pre-hearing conference.
I write to request that you set a date for the parties to file pre-trial memos
and then schedule a pre-trial conference. By the time that is done, the two year
period of separation, even under the dates suggested by Mrs. Radich, will have
passed and the matter will be ripe for you to hear and decide.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

RE: Michael P. Radich vs. Leslie A. Radich
No. 01 - 3675 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Andes and Mr. Wagner:
I am going to address the issues, which arose at the hearing on Thursday,
February 14,2002, and also some new issues which I have determined need to be
addressed after a more thorough review of the file.
A hearing notice dated October 24, 2001, was sent to counsel and the parties
scheduling a hearing for January 29, 2002. The hearing notice specifically advised that
there was to be an exchange of witness lists thirty (30) days prior to the hearing. Counsel
appeared here on January 29,2002, but were unable to go forward with the hearing
because of a scheduling conflict that Mr. Wagner had with regard to a district justice
hearing later in the morning. Another hearing date was set for February 14,2002. Even
though the new notice did not make reference to an exchange of witness lists,
nevertheless, those lists should have been exchanged prior to the scheduled date of the
hearing on January 29, 2002.
The purpose of discovery is to allow the parties and counsel to review exhibits to
be presented at a hearing prior to the hearing so that the hearing process can move along
smoothly and expeditiously. Exhibits should not be produced at a hearing and a witness
confronted with an exhibit, which he or she, or counsel have not had an opportunity to
review prior to the hearing. Confronting Mr. Radich with 100 pages more or less of
.
Mr. Andes and Mr. Wagner, Attorneys at Law
19 February 2002
Page 2
e-mail documents which neither he nor his counsel had an opportunity to review before
the hearing would only have delayed the process and I had no intention of sitting through
an afternoon with Mr. Radich and Mr. Andes reading e-mails.
I will, as indicated, only hear the testimony of the parties; also, if any exhibits are
produced at the next hearing which have not been previously reviewed by the opposing
party and counsel, those exhibits will not be permitted nor will any testimony be
permitted about those exhibits.
I have also noted that although the motion for appointment of Master states that
equitable distribution is the only economic claim before the Master, I point out to counsel
that the economic claim of equitable distribution is not before the Master because no
pleadings have raised the issue. However, if any economic claims are to be raised, they
should be raised by the date of the filing of the pretrial statements, which I am going to
direct. If no economic claims have been raised by that date, I am going to ask that the
Court vacate my appointment. Without equitable distribution as an issue, there is no need
to establish a date of separation since both parties will consent to a divorce.
In accordance with P.R.c.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing each counsel to file a
pretrial statement on or before Friday, March 15,2002. A pre-hearing conference will be
scheduled immediately following receipt of the pretrial statements. Also enclosed is a
notice of a hearing to continue the testimony on the date of separation issue.
With respect to grounds for divorce, Mr. Wagner has indicated by letter of
November 27,2001, that his client will sign an affidavit of consent to conclude the
divorce under Section 3301(c). Consequently, I direct both parties to sign and file
affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of intention to request entry of divorce decree
prior to March 15, 2002.
Very truly yours,
E. Robert Elicker, II
Divorce Master

RE: Michael P. Radich vs. Leslie A. Radich
No. 01-3675 Civil Term
Dear Mr. Elicker:
I have Rich Wagner's letter of 27 November 2001 in which he indicates his
client will file a consent and that, therefore, the hearing scheduled for 22 January
2002 is not necessary. As much as I appreciate Rich's effort to move this case
forward, I do not believe what he proposes will solve all of the problems we face.
Whether the parties conclude a divorce by consent or otherwise, we still need
to determine the date of the parties' final separation for purposes of equitable
distribution. If Rich's client will agree that the parties separated in August of 1999,
as my client has stated in his Affidavit, a hearing on that issue will not be necessary
and we can proceed to the economic issues. If we are going to do that, I request that
you set a date for the parties to file their pre-trial statements so that, when we have
the conference, you will have as much information as we can give you.
If Rich's client will not agree that the parties separated in August of 1999, as
my client contends, then I think we will still require a hearing to determine the date
of separation.
I have written Rich about all of this and I expect you will hear further from one
or both of us shortly. In the meantime, I ask that you keep the hearing for 22 January
2002 on your calendar.
Sincerely,
~des

Re: Radich
Dear Mr, Elicker:
I am in receipt of Mr. Andes' letter and your telephone conference
concerning the date of separation on the above-captioned matter. I am not sure of
the significance of the date of separation in that APL is not an issue and I do not
think there is any viable pension at the present time that is based upon a present
value, i.e., date of separation, basis.
As it relates to property, it is the value as close to the date of distribution that
is the guiding principle.
Therefore, I am not sure as to the significance of the date of separation in
light of the lack of a pension to be distributed.
Your attention is appreciated.

I have spoken at length to my client, Leslie Radich, concerning the hearing
that is scheduled for January 22, 2002. After considering the options available to
her, she has decided that she would sign an Affidavit of Consent under 2201(c) of
the Divorce Code.
There are some economic issues that need to be pursued, and accordingly, I
would respectfully request that the hearing that is scheduled for January 22,2002,
be held, but it be a conference by and between counsel and the Master in order to
finalize the issues to expeditiously move towards a Master's hearing to decide all
economIC Issues. ''''')

RE: Leslie A. Radich
Dear Rich:
Two months ago I asked you for some information about financial assets
held or controlled by Leslie Radich. I have not received any response to that. I
assume the problem is with your client and so I have prepared, and hereby serve
upon you, a formal Request for Production. If I do not have the documents within
the time set by the Rules, I will move the court to compel the production of these
items. Please see that your client complies with this request, as soon as possible.
My client has expressed a willingness to settle the case, which I have
discussed with you. If your client will not cooperate, however, his attitude may
change. If we are going to settle the case without a lot of litigation and dispute,
please get me these documents as soon as possible.

RE: Michael P. Radich vs. Leslie A. Radich
No. 01-3675
Dear Mr. Elicker:
You were appointed master in the above matter in early September. Shortly prior to
that time my client had filed an Affidavit Under 3301 (d) stating that the parties had been
living separate since mid-August of 1999. P. Richard Wagner, Esquire, who represents
Mrs. Radich, responded by filing a counter-affidavit denying that date of separation.
Accordingly, we will require a hearing on the date of separation.
You are not likely to schedule a pre-hearing conference or a hearing on the economic
issues, because discovery is not yet complete. However, there is nothing preventing you
from scheduling a hearing to determine the date of separation. Once you establish a date
of separation, the preparation of the rest of the case, and the discovery required for that
preparation, should be much easier.
Accordingiy, I write to ask that you schedule a hearing un the issue of the date of
the parties' separation. If you feel a pre-hearing conference with counsel is necessary prior
to that hearing, please schedule that as well. Frankly, I think if you schedule a hearing and
require the attorneys to exchange witness lists thirty days prior to the hearing, that will be
sufficient to get that part of the case underway.
Please contact Rich Wagner or myself if you have any questions in these matters.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
~
Ie

Dear Mr. Elicker:
I represent the Plaintiff in the above matter and recently filed a Motion for
Appointment of Master. I expect you should receive the file in the near future.
My client has filed an Affidavit under 3301 (d) alleging that the parties have
been separated since August of 1999 and that will be the basis of the divorce. The
Affidavit has been served upon Mrs. Radich's attorney, P. Richard Wagner, Esquire,
and I am certain he will send a copy of his response to you if and when it is filed.
At this time, the only economic relief requested by either party is equitable
distribution. If you have any questions about the case, please feel free to contact
my office. Thank you for your cooperation.

IN DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF'S PETiTION FOR ECONOMIC RELIEf
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by his attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
makes the following Petition for Economic Relief:
COUNT I - EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
1. During the course of the marriage, the parties have acquired numerous items of
property, both real and personal, which are held in joint names and in the individual names
of each of the parties hereto.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this Honorable Court, after requiring full disclosure by
the Defendant, to equitably divide the property, both real and personal, owned by the
parties hereto as marital property.
COUNT II - COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES
2. Plaintiff is without sufficient funds to retain counsel to represent him in this
matter.
3. Without competent counsel, Plaintiff cannot adequately prosecute his claims
against Defendant and cannot adequately litigate his rights in this matter.
4. Defendant enjoys a substantial income and is well able to bear the expense of
Plaintiff's attorney and the expenses of this litigation.
5. Although Plaintiff is employed, he has spent the majority of his available cash to
support the parties children and their household and does not have sufficient funds
remaining to pay the cost of this litigation.
. 6. The Defendant is employed and enjoys earnings sufficient to contribute toward
the cost of this litigation.
1
II
7. Defendant, by her refusal to cooperate in this matter, and particularly by her
refusal to sign an Affidavit of Consent as she had promised to do, has complicated the
litigation of this matter and made the resolution of it far more difficult.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this Honorable Court to award him, and order the
Defendant to pay, his reasonable attorneys fees, costs, and expenses incurred in litigating
this matter.

THE MASTER: Today is Thursday, February 14,
2002. This is the date set for a hearing to take testimony
to establish the date of separation of the parties.
4 Present ln the hearing room are the
5 Plaintiff, Michael P. Radich, and his counsel Samuel L.
6 Andes, and the Defendant, Leslie A. Radich, and her counsel
7 P. Richard Wagner.
8 We had an off the record discussion
9 regarding a matter involving the witnesses in this hearing
10 who would be presenting testimony. Mr. Wagner appeared
11 today with some witnesses; Mr. Andes claimed that he was
12 not notified of the witnesses. The Master had
13
14
15
16
specifically noted that the parties were to exchanged
witness lists thirty days prior to the hearing. This
statement was on the notice directing a hearing for January
22, 2002. The hearing was continued and rescheduled for
17 today. Mr. Wagner indicated that Mr. Andes did not
18 present him with a list of witness. The Master decided
19 that since neither counsel provided witness lists, he would
20 hear the testimony of the parties only. If they want to
21 make any objections or exceptions, they can do that at a
22 later time regarding the witnesses to be heard in this
23 proceeding.
24
25
The Plaintiff avers that the parties
separated August 1999; the Defendant avers the parties
4
e
1
separated February 2001.
2 Following the Master's determination of the
3 date of separation, the parties will then be directed to
4 appear for a hearing to take testimony on the economic
5 issues. Before that hearing, however, the Master will
6 direct counsel to file pretrial statements and have a
7 pre-hearing conference with counsel to discuss the economic
8 claims.
9 Would you swear Mr. Radich, please.
10 Whereupon, MICHAEL P. RADICH, having been
11
12
13
duly Sworn, testified as follows:
MR. ANDES: With Mr. Wagner and the Master's
indulgence, I have some background information and I will
e
14 just lead him through this quickly.

9 Radich, who was born May 25, 1982, and Kristen,
10 K-r-i-s-t-e-n, L. Radich, born December 8, 1983; is that
11 correct?
12
13
That's correct.
Going back to August of 1999, prior to that
A
Q
14 time, were you and your wife and the two daughters residing
15 together in one household?
16
Prior to 1999 not a hundred percent of the
A
17 time. There were times when she wasn't there, but, yes.
18
19
20
And where was that?
6 Pamela Place, Mechanicsburg.
When you say there were times she was not
Q
A
Q
21 residing there, you mean your wife?
22
23
That's correct.
Where did she live when she did not live at
A
Q
24 6 Pamela Place?
25
There were times when she would be out. We
A
6
e
1
2
did not know where she was.
Q

3 was this for longer periods of time?
4
5
6
7
8
A
Nights, sometimes weekends.
Q Did that result in marital difficulties
between you and your wife?
staying married?
A
Q
Yes.
How would you describe the state of your
9 marriage in August of 1999?
10
A
It was bad. There were definitely problems.
11 Q Did you and your wife have discussions about
12 your marriage and plans for the future with regard to
e
13
14
15
A
Q
Not In regards to staying married.

17
A
Where we were going to live, separate, you

19 Financial matters mainly too.
20 Q Well, let's talk then about the summer of
21 1999, did the two of you come to an agreement about
22 separating?
-
23
24
25
A
Q
A
Yes.
What was the agreement?
She would move to, I think, it was Chapel
7
e
e
e
1
Avenue and I was going to move in with my parents and the
2 children would have a choice of where to go to school at
3 because we would both be residing in Central Dauphin East
4 School District and at the Carlisle School District.
5
So her address on Chapel Avenue, was that in
Q
6 Carlisle?
7
That's correct.
A
8 Q And the address at your parents is ln the
9 Central Dauphin School District?
10
11
A
Yes.
And so if the children -- if you gave the
Q
12 children a choice, it would involve their moving from the
Cumberland Valley School Districtj is that right?
13
14
15
16 1999?
A
Q
That's correct.
That's where they were attending school in
17
18
That's correct.
What were you going to do with the house at
A
Q
19 6 Pamela Place?
20
21 but --
In the beginning we were going to sell it
A
22
23
24
25
Q Strike that. Before you go any further, as
of August of '99, up to that point, what was the plan on
the house, to sell it or keep it?
A August '99 we were gOlng to sell it.
8
e
e
e
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Q And after that, the plan changed?
A The plan changed that I would stay in there
and the kids would stay in there.
Q We will come back to that. Did, In fact,
the two of you separate in August of 1999?
A Yes.
Q
And how so? Where did you move; where did
8 she move? Where did each of you live after that?
9 A Well, the house didn't sell because the
10 septic system failed, so I stayed in the house. I never
11 did move, and the children never did move and Leslie moved
12 up to a place on Chapel Avenue.
13
14
15
16
17
18 point?
19
Q
A
Was that a house, an apartment, or what?
It was a bottom floor of a house.
That was where she lived in Carlisle?
Yes.
And was the house listed for sale at some
Q
A
Q
A
It was earlier.
It was listed for sale and
20 then the first person that put paper work In on it -- they
21 have to go through certain procedures, a number of
22 inspections, and one of them was a septic check and the
23 septic system did not pass so we could not sell the house.
24 Q So as a result of that, the house could not
25
be sold. Did that change your plans in any way?
9
e
1
2
3
4
A
Q
A
Yes.
How so?
We could still reside in the house, I could
and the kids, but we could not sell the house.
If we would
5 sell it, we would have to bring it up to standards and it

The people who were going to buy it took us
to court and, I guess -- I don't know if they contacted
Leslie, I assume they did, but it was pushed on me and I
15 had to make a settlement of $800.00 to them, I think it
16 was, or more

From that point on, from August of 1999

Correct.
Did the girls stay there with you?
Both girls stayed there with me until
Kristen moved out about three weeks ago.
Q And went to live with her mother?
A Yes, I assume.
Q
Okay. And is Amy still living with you
there?
A
Q
That's correct.
Okay. Now, let's talk about your wife. She
11 moved to this apartment or the first floor of this house
12 in Carlisle. After she moved there did she come back to
13
14
the house at 6 Pamela Place?
A
Yes, a couple of times a week. Most of the
15 time when we were not there but she did come back to do
16 laundry or different things.
17
Q
Well, when you say different things, she
18 came back and used the washer and dryer?
19
20
A Yes, used the washer and dryer. She'd take
She would take different things. She took the VCR.

come?
Q
A
Q
Did she come when you were there?
Most of the time not.
So what time of the day would she typically

e
e
e
1
When I was probably at work or had soccer at
A
2 the school or something else was going on.
3
Okay. When she came did she stay and spend
Q
4 the night?
5
A couple of times she did but she stayed on
A
6 the couch.
7 Q When you say a couple of times, let's talk
8 about from August of 1999 two years later, until the summer
9 of 2001, how many times did she spend the night at the
10 house?
11
12
13
In the very beginning, when she moved out,
A
it was rare but after the second year when she moved to
Franklin Street, like, she came once and tried to stay but
14 she made a threat and we had to have the police there.
15
When she would come and stay, can you give
Q
16 me a number of times from August until she moved in
17 February of 2001 to the Franklin Street address, did she
18 come and spend the night once or twice or 50 times or what?
19
20
May be once every several weeks.
And when she did, did you and she sleep
A
Q
21 together?
22
23
24
25
No. She stayed on the couch.
And where did you stay?
In bed.
During the times that she came to the house,
A
Q
A
Q
12
-
did she eat meals with you and the children?
1
2
3
A
Q
No.
During the times that she would come to the
4 house would you and she do anything together, for instance,
5 did you do yard work together or did you do laundry when
6 she did laundry or did she clean the house, or did the two
7 of you clean the house together?
8
A
No.
9 Q During that time did she clean the house
10 when she came back at all?
-
11
12
13
A
Q
No.
When she used the washer and dryer, did she
use them just for her clothes or did she do your laundry
14 and the girls' laundry as well?
15
16
17
18
19 that correct?
20
21
A
Q
A
Her clothes.
Just her clothes?
Yes.
Okay. During that time she was workingj is
Q
A
Q
Yes.
Did she have a separate account that she put
22 her earnings into?
e
23
24
25
A
Yes.
Do you know where that account was, what
Q
bank or credit union?
13
-
1
A
I think it was Member's 1st.
I think the
2 number was 23487.
3
Q
Did you have access to that money? Did you
4 get any of it?
5
6
7
8
A
Q
A
Q
No.
Did she give any of it to you?
No.
Did she glve you money to buy groceries or

10 A No.

Q
A
Did you glve her money during that time?
If she needed stuff, she would take it out
of the account.
18
19
Q
A
Q
Now what account was that?
17244 at Member's 1st.
And that is an account that you put money
A
Q
Yes.
And did she take money routinely every week
20 or only on rare occasions or how frequently?
21
22
23
A
Q
A
Did I take money --
No. Did she take money out of that account?
Yesj but I do not know how frequently. I
e
24 don't remember. But if she needed it
25
Q
Did you pay any of her bills at this
14
e
-
-
1
apartment?
2 A Not directly but if she took money, she
3 might have used it for that.
4
Well, that's my question. My question is:
Q
5 You did not write checks to pay her electric bill or her
6 rent or anything also?
7
8
9 that right?
A
No.
THE MASTER: There were two accountsj lS
10
11
THE WITNESS: Yes.
THE MASTER: So I understand this. She had
12 her separate account and then you had a joint account?
13
14
THE WITNESS: Yes.
THE MASTER: She was taking money out of the
15 joint account as she needed it?
16
THE WITNESS: Yes. And there was enough to
17 pay my bills but we did fall behind because she had used
18 the credit cards and we fell pretty far behind on them. We
19 cleared them up once and then we fell really behind again
20 and I am still in the process of clearing that up.
21 BY MR. ANDES:
22
Q
Okay. During that time, did she pay any of
23 the expenses at the house? For example, did she pay any
24
25
utility bills at Pamela Place?
A No. It came out of the 17244 accountj not
15
e

out of her account.
Q
A
Who wrote the checks to do that?
I wrote most of them, I guess, but she did
write some of those, I assume.
11 alone?
period?
I don't know, because some
5 things she had the checkbook on.
6 Q Did she put any money into that account
7 during that time?
A
I couldn't answer that. I know her account

10
-
12
13
Q
Went into the account that was in her name
A
Q
23487 but I am not sure.
Okay. Did she pay the mortgage on the house
14 or the taxes on the house?
15
16
17
A
Q
A
I paid that.
You paid those? From your earnings?
Yes.
18 Q During that time did the two of you do
19 anything socially together? Did you go out to dinner, for
20 example?
-

3
about keeping up appearances with the academics.
A Yes. If we had, like, a dinner or going
if she was invited somewhere, yes, we all had to go because
4 of the appearances of keeping up as a family.
5 Q Is that what she told you?
6 A Yes. She called it her academia.

Is that having to do with her job
A
Q
A
Q
A
Q
Yes.
How often did that happen?
Very rarely.
Well -- once a year, once a month, what?
Maybe two or three times a year.
All right. Did you take her to your
15 functions at your work or your social functions that you
16 attended?
17
18
A
Q
No. I don't have any social functions.
Did you and your wife go out socially alone?
19 Did you go to dinner? Did you go to the movies or anything
20 of the sort?
-
21
22
23
24
25
A
No.
Q During this time your daughters were
attending what school?
A During the two-year period Carlisle. They
chose to go to Carlisle. This year Kristen did half a year

Q Let's talk about 1999 to February of 2001.
After she moved to Carlisle, the girls were enrolled in the
Carlisle Schools; is that right?
A That's right.
Q Did they live with her ln Carlisle?
A No. They lived with me.
Q
A
They continued to live at your place?
Yes. And then the following year she came
10 back to the house, when we had to have the police there,
11 she said that if they did not go with her to live in
12 Carlisle she would have them kicked out of school there.
25
She went to the school and had them kicked out of school
14 there and we had to go to court, or whatever you did, I
15 don't know --

18 A And one thing too, when you talk about
19 social things, Amy and I have a PFA against her so we can't

We got a court order to get them back in to
13
20 associate with her.

When did you obtain --

So sometime in 2001 is when you

Q
A
Yes.
Okay.
So we can't do anything socially, or we
10 don't want to either.
11
12
13
All right. Now, during -
THE MASTER: Excuse me. Do you have a
specific date for that PFA?
Q
14 MR. ANDES: I do. I have a copy -- I have a
15 final order of court dated the 23rd of April 2001.
16 Plaintiff's Michael P. Radich and Amy R. and the Defendant
17 is Leslie Ann. Do you want the term and number?
18 THE MASTER: No. I was interested in the
19 date as to when this occurred in relation to her alleged
20 date of separation.
21 MR. ANDES: Right.
22 THE WITNESS: And there are incidents that
23 happened, you know, previous to that so it was a number of
24 them.
25
BY MR. ANDES:
19
e
1
Q
Well, there was a problem starting in the
2 spring of 2001, you alluded to it earlier, when your wife
3 came home to the children and said you must live with me.
4 When did that occur approximately?
5
MR. WAGNER: Excuse me.
I'm going to object
6 to the relevance.
7
8
THE MASTER: Why?
MR. WAGNER: The spring of 2001 lS beyond
9 either persons alleged separation date. It lS not relevant
10 to the determination of whether it is August or February.
11
MR. ANDES: Well, I want to explain why the
12 PFA was obtained because I don't want to leave the
e
13
impression on the record or with the Master that the PFA
14 was obtained only after the date of separation. It was the
15 separation and then there were events that occurred ln
16 early 2001 when led to the PFA.
17 THE MASTER: Wife alleges that they
18 separated February of 2001. This PFA was entered in April
19 2001?
20
21
MR. ANDES: That's right.
THE MASTER: Now, what is your purpose again
22 in offering this testimony on the PFA because he is
23 objecting to the relevance?
24 MR. ANDES: The reason I believe it is
e
25
relevant to get into this information lS because there was
20
e
e
e
1
2
3
4
5
a change in Mrs. Radich's conduct, she came back to the
marital residence and demanded the children live with her
and when they would not, she did a series of things that
resulted in the PFA.
THE MASTER: Why don't you develop that. I
6 will let him develop it in terms of some time frame.
7
MR. WAGNER: When did she come back and do
8 this? After February 2001.
9 THE MASTER: That's what I need to let him
10 develop.
11
12
13
14
15
MR. WAGNER: But if it is after February
2001, then it does not go to the issue of separation, and
you just said, yes, it's activities post 2001.
MR. ANDES: Okay. Some of it predates 2001.
THE MASTER: Some of whatever you're going
16 to have him testify to, whatever that is, why don't we deal
17 with what happened prior to February of 2001. We know, for
18 the record, there was a PFA order entered April 2001j but
19 direct your inquiry to what happened prior to her alleged
20 date of separation.
21 BY MR. ANDES:
22 Q Let's talk about the problems that occurred
23 with Leslie prior to April of 2001 that led in part to the
24 PFA?
25
MR. WAGNER: I have to renew the objection.
21
e
1
2
3
4
What lS the relevancy to this. This is not relevant to the
date of separation. This goes to conduct that leads to the
filing of a PFA. It's been adjudicated by a judge.
MR. ANDES: But wait a minute, Rich, with
5 all due respect, it does go to the date of separation
6 because the parties' conduct during that period of time
7 tell us something about their intentions.
8
THE MASTER: The parties' conduct lS
9 relevant to the date of establishing when they separated
10 and I am going to let him proceed with this.
11 BY MR. ANDES:
e
12
13
Q
A
Go ahead.
Prior, and I think the dates are back to
14 2000 definitely and even earlier -- I don't know the exact
15 dates but definitely back to when she moved out, and this
16 is why she moved out. One of the reasons was she could not
17 control her temper around my oldest daughter and my oldest
18 daughter would have had to move with me no matter which
19 school she went to, and that's why we had to separate and
20 she would not go get counseling and she would not do
21 anything to control her behavior and when I'm not around
22 she would lose it. She would lose it even when I was
23 there.
e
24
25
Q All right. During these bouts when she lost
her temper, did she become violent?
22
e
1
2
3
A She broke a lot of things in the house. She
would be violent. She beat my daughter, kicked my
daughter, punched my daughter. We went over this at the
4 hearing.
5 Q And when you say your daughter, she beat
6 her, struck your daughter, kicked your daughter, which
7 daughter?
8
9
A
Q
Amy, the oldest one.
Was there a particular bitterness or poor
10 relations between your wife and Amy during that time?
e
11
12
13
A
Yes. My older daughter cannot be around
herj does not want anything to do with her.
THE MASTER: Now, my question then would be,
14 and I am perhaps jumping ahead, how did these matters
15 involving your daughter affect your marital relationship?
16
THE WITNESS: It affected our marital
17 relationship in that I could not trust her with my
18 daughter, and I am pulling her off for beating my daughter
19 it's not a good relationship that a child should have to
20 be raised in a home like that.
21 BY MR. ANDES:
22
Q
Did it cause you concern about leaving your
23 wife?
24
e
25
MR. WAGNER: I knew it, this is -- he says
they separated August of 1999 now he is testifying that my
23
e
1
2
client is being pulled off of Amy some time in 2000. If
they separated in '99 then what he is telling us happened
3 post August '99 is not relevant to his position.
4 MR. ANDES: With all due respect, it is
5 relevant because Mrs. Radich is telling us that they did
6 not separate until 2001 and she is painting a picture that
7 they were happily married and just living apart for
8 convenience --
MR. WAGNER: My client has not testified
9
10 yet.
e
11
12
13
14
MR. ANDES: Well, I know that, but I know
what you've told me Mr. Wagner and I am anticipating that
and I think this is very relevant. Not only that but I
thought he said, and I'll ask him to clarify that, that
15 some of these things go back prior to 2000j some of these
16
17
problems.
I think that it is very relevant.
THE MASTER: When did your wife leave the
18 Pamela Drive residence?
19
20 she moved out
21
THE WITNESS:
It was around August 1999,
THE MASTER: She left. All right. Now,
22 that's what I thought you said, so that is the day that you
23 say that you and your wife separated. This contact between
24 your wife and your daughter, what does that have to do with
e
25
your living in the same environment together?
24
e
1
THE WITNESS: That is why we separated --
2 that was one of the main reasons why we had to separate --
3
THE MASTER: But you separated before the
4 events -- this is what Mr. Wagner is saying -- you're
5 testifying to events that occurred in the year 2000?
6
THE WITNESS: Right
7 BY THE MASTER:
8
Q
But you are saying that you separated in
9 August of '99. You were testifying about events that
10 occurred with your daughter and her mother in 2000.
11 A Well -- and they happened prior to August of
12 1999.
-
13
14
Q Well, then let's talk about what happened
prlor to August 1999. What you are really testifying to is
15 what occurred prior to your actual alleged date of
16 separation?
17
18
19 BY MR. ANDES:
-
20
21
22
23
24
25
Right.
THE MASTER: Let Mr. Andes pick it up here.
A
Q Let's talk first of all about the problems
that the family had, and particularly problems between you
and Leslie, that caused you to separate in August of 1999.
A Okay. Prior to August 1999, at different
times she would lose her temper. She would in one of
the incidences slam my daughter into a garage door and she
25
-
1
2
3
4
5
had trouble breathing. There were times when I had to pull
her off of her and she was punching her and as I am holding
her she is still kicking her and stuff, and she would not
get counseling. She would not go for counseling. This is
a major problem because I cannot leave my daughters alone
6 with her. She would be out, you know, different places
7
going around.
I found out, like, once that, yeah, she went
8 to like a -- my kids called it a fraternity house up at
9 Lycoming College or something for a weekend. I am against
10 it. I didn't support it but I had no control and there
11 were just so many things that happened that you try to work
12 it out and try to keep your family together
-
13
Q
Urn-hum.
14 A -- and I didn't realize that under the whole
15 time until, like -- I went to Domestic Relations because
16 she threatened my life -- she is just out of control. They
17 told me about control manipulation, how you can be
18 manipulated into trying to keep something together that is
19 not working and, you know, we drew it down. She had to get
20 counseling. She had to try and work on this problem and
21 that's why we separated. Amy was going to go with me.
22 Q Now, let's go back prior to the time you
23 separated. What you've talked a little bit about -- when
24 you say Domestic Relations, you mean the office you went to
-
25
file the PFA?
26
e
-
-
1
2
3
A
Q
A
The PFA, yes.
And that was filed ln 2001?
That's correct.
4 Q So forget about that. Let's go back
5 earlier. Did you ask your wife to go to counseling and
6 seek help for her temper?
7
8
A
Q
Yes.
Did you ask her to stop going out without
9 you and staying out late at night and overnight, as you
10 have testified to earlier?
11
12 would do that.
13
14
15
A
Q
A
Q
Yes, and she would lose her temper when I
And did she stop doing that?
No.
How frequently did she go out and spend the
16 night away from home, when she was gone all night, was that
17 rarely, once a year, once a month, what?
18
19
A
Q
Several times a month.
Okay. And when she would come back and you
20 would talk to her, did she tell you where she was?
21
22
23 she was?
24
A
Q
A
No.
And how did she react when you asked where
She would get very hostile.
In fact, I
25
found out that she went to that fraternity house from the
27
e
1
2
3
4
5
6
guy who came to visit -- no, we went to his -- I don't know
where we met him but we met him outside of the house and
that's when I found that out.
Q
A
Q
And that took place prior to August of 1999?
Yes.
And when you asked your wife to stop this,
7 she became angry?
8
9
10
11
A
Yes.
And she did not stop it?
No. And stuff would get broken or damaged.
How many of these incidents that you've
Q
A
Q
12 described where she was physically violent toward Amy,
-
13
about how many of those occurred prior to your separation?
14 Was this one or two or more than that?
15
16
17
18
A
Q
A lot more than that. Probably 50 or more.
All right.
MR. WAGNER: Excuse me. 50 or more?
THE WITNESS: Yes. As far as -- if you're
19 talking about, like, physical beatings, I learned from
20 Domestic Relations, abuse would be, like, she took my
21 daughter's CDs and would break them one at a time, and ask,
22 do you like this one, what do you think of that, and would
23 do things like that. I call that abuse too.
24 BY MR. ANDES:
-
25
Q
So that's included in the total number of 50
28
-
1
2
3
of these incidents?
A
Q
Yes.
And she would take things that the girls
4 cherished and break them in front of the children?
5
A
Yes.
6 Q Did you talk to her about that and ask her
7 to stop doing that?
e
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
A
Yes. We tried to discuss it and after a
while it just -- we didn'tj that's why we separated because
it would do no good.
repair more things.
It just ended up that I would have to
Q
Now, after you separated, the girls were
going to school in Carlisle. How did they get to school?
A They drove or the very beginning we would
15 drive them -- I would drive them or they would get rides.
16 Then we got them vehicles and they would drive themselves.
17 Q Were they involved in school activities, and
18 I am talking particularly about sports, like, soccer?
-
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
A
Soccer.
Okay. Did they play in soccer games?
Yes.
Q
A
Q Did you attend the soccer games?
A Yes, as many as I could. I coach also at
Carlisle so if there was a conflict at the junior high
level with the varsity, which usually there was not, I
29
e
1
couldn't attend or if they were too far away, like, if they
2 were in Chambersburg and I had to be in Carlisle, I could
3 not make the game but every game that I could make, I was
4 at all of their games.
5 Q So you coached at the junior high level and
6 there were times when your coaching obligations created a
7 conflict that you could not get to the girls' games?
8
9
A
Q
That's correct.
Did you and your wife attend those games
10 together during that time?
11 A No. She didn't attend that I can remember.
-
12
13
14
Q
You do not remember her attending at all?
A I saw her at one match sitting with a woman
but I do not know who it was.
15 Q But you did not pick her up and you did not
16 take her to the games and she did not pick you up and you
17 two did not meet there and go together?
18
19
20
21
have.
A
Q
No.
Okay.
MR. ANDES: That's all of the questions I
22 THE MASTER: Cross-examine.
23 CROSS-EXAMINATION
24 BY MR. WAGNER:
e
25
Q
In August of 1999 how would you describe the
30
-
.
e
state of your love towards one another?
A Our marriage was bad.
Q Was it over with at that point?
A Yes.
Q Did you stop loving your wife as of August
1
2
3
4
5
6 of '99?
7
THE MASTER: I assume he knows what you mean
8 by love? That's a pretty big word.
9 THE WITNESS: Yeah, could you explain how
10 you interpret that?
11 BY MR. WAGNER:
12
13
14
Q
That's my question to you, Slr. Were you ln
love with your wife as of August of 1999?
MR. ANDES: Well, I think that is a
15 legitimate clarification --
THE MASTER: Well, let him answer the
16
17 question.
18 THE WITNESS: Well, I felt sorry for the
19 situation we were In. I did not wish her any ill will.
20 BY MR. WAGNER:
21
22
23
lS.
Q
A
So you did not love her?
I don't know what your definition of love
I did not wish her ill will.
I think, you know, yes,
24 she lS an animal towards, like, the kids and stuff but --
25
you can't love somebody who hurts your children.
31
--
.
.
1
Q
So you were not in love with her after
2 August of 1999?
3
A
Yes. No marital love.
4 Q Now, in August of 1999 was there an
5 apartment rented by Leslie in Carlisle that you are aware
6 of?
7
8
A
Q
Could you repeat that again?
Yes. In August, when you and she separated,
9 where did your wife move?
10
A
I think she moved to a place on Chapel
11 Avenue.
12
13
14
Q
And how long did she stay at the place on
Chapel Avenue?
A
I'm not sure. Almost a year, I assume. I
15 am not sure.
16
Q
Did she move from Chapel Avenue to somewhere
17 else?
18 A Then after Chapel Avenue -- I don't know the
19 date -- she moved to Franklin Street or Franklin something
20 ln Carlisle.
21
Did you ever visit her at the Franklin
Q
22 Street address?
23
A
I went up to get our vacuum cleaner back for
24 the house.
25
Q
Did you ever visit her at Chapel Avenue?
32
~
-
.
1
I've been there a couple of times to get
A
2 stuff back, probably. I can't remember.
3 Q Now, in August of 1999 did you and your
4 wife, on behalf of your two daughters, have discussions
5 concerning locating a residence in Carlisle for purposes of
6 establishing residence solely so your daughters could go to
7 Carlisle?
8
9
10
NOj not solely so that they could go to
A
Carlisle.
Q
Was that one of the reasons that you wanted
11 to get an apartment or a location in Carlisle?
12
13
That I wanted?
Was there ever a discussion that the family
A
Q
14 had of getting an apartment in Carlisle, one of the
15 purposes of which was so that the daughters could attend
16 Carlisle High School and play soccer?
17 A When -- okay, I'm going to answer this.
18 With Carlisle -- I'm familiar with their program there and
19 the girls are, so, yes, that was one of the options with
20 their mother living there why they would choose between
21
22
23
24
25
Central Dauphin East and Carlisle.
Q Well, it is not Central Dauphin East, it
would be Cumberland Valley or Carlisle, correct?
A Well, originally when you're talking August
of '99 we were talking that we would be going over to live
33
~
-
.
1
at Central Dauphin -- near Central Dauphin East -- in the
2 Central Dauphin School District and that she was living ln
3 Carlisle, so the choices would not have been Cumberland
4 Valley at that time, but shortly after that when the house
5 fell through, we did not have a choice, so we would be in
6 Cumberland Valley.
7
Sir, throughout the calender year of 2000
Q
8 did you visit your wife at her place of employment on any
9 occasions?

Prior to 2000?

College?
A
Q
Yes, I could have.
Could you tell us how many times you visited
16 her at Dickinson College at her place of emploYment?
17
Well, it's not visited, it would have been
A
18 for a specific purpose, but if I went there I don't
19 remember the exact --
20 Q Do you have a recollection of whether you
21 went to her place of employment at Dickinson more than ten
22 times in the calender year of 2000 or less than ten times?
23 A I don't know. I would say less than ten
24
25
times.
I do not know.
Q
You didn't visit there regularly during the

3
A
Not to my knowledge. I could not use her
4 computer because I don't have the user ID or password.
5 Q Did you ever visit I think you told us
6 that you visited the Franklin Street apartment. Could you
7 tell us, is that a home, is it an apartment, what is that,
8 if you know?
9
A
It looked like a house and it was divided, I
10 guess, the first floor she was living there and, I guess,
11
someone was living on the second floor.
I don't know. I
12 don't know how the second floor was divided. But the whole
13
14
first floor was --

A Yes.
Q Did you go to a settlement where you signed
documents and papers and the bank loaned money and so

A
Yes. We were in deep financial trouble and

Q
Were you required to certify your residence

7 Leslie as 6 Pamela Place?

A
Q
I said not to my knowledge, sir.
Did you buy any automobiles in the calender
10 year 2000?

Q
You bought one for each of the girls, didn't
14 you?
15
A
That's correct.
16 Q You signed affidavits under oath ln order to
17 make those transfers, did you not?
18 A We signed some papers. We didn't make an
19 oath or whatever.
20
Q
You had to sign in front of a notary, didn't
21 you?
22
23
A
Q
Oh, okay. Yes.
And didn't you swear -- when it was
24 notarized, didn't you swear that the information that you
25
put on that certificate was true and accurate to the best

What is the address, sir, right here under

MR. ANDES: Well, let me object to the

5 else. He answered it.
6 MR. WAGNER: No, he did not answer itj Mr.

THE MASTER: There is an address on it?
MR. WAGNER: There is an address on it.
THE MASTER: And there are two names on it.
Q
And your signature appears under the
address?
THE MASTER: And his signature appears, and
that's what I got out of it.
MR. ANDES: And we ought to mark this, I
38
e

guess, as an exhibit.
MR. WAGNER: I intend to do that.
MR. ANDES: Well, if we are going to have
4 him testify about a document, I would like to have it
5 marked so the record will identify what he is answering
6 about.
7
MR. WAGNER: I identified it with a name of
8 the vehicle so we are not confused by it.

15 other address other than 6 Pamela Place, Mechanicsburg,
16 does it?
17
18
No, sir.
A
Q
You just told us a moment ago that you guys
19 were not living together as of this date, why didn't you
20 put somewhere on that form that Leslie Radich was not
21 living at that address?
22 A We used the address where the children whose

Why didn't you purchase it ln your own name?
In one name?
3 Q Yeah, why didn't you put it in your name?
4 The girls were living with YOUj Leslie is not, why didn't
5 you just put it in your name?
6
A
Because the Watson's were friends of hers,
7 and in fact, Linda Watson is her secretary or something so,
8 you know, I guess -- I don't know the reason -- I can't
9 remember why we did it.
10 Q How was the money paid for the vehicles, if
11 you know?

Q
(No response) .
Excuse me, sir. Is that an e-mail that you
6 sent to your wife?
7
8
A
Q
No. My e-mail does not show up this way.
So you're testifying that that is not an
9 e-mail from you to your wife?
10
A
I'm just telling you that the government
11 does not show up, like, the form like this.
12 Q Did you send that e-mail, no matter how it
13
14
shows up, to your wife?
A
No -- well, I can't say I didn't send it but
15 it could have been changed. Mine does not set up this
16 format. The government does not set up a format like this.
17 Q Would that format be the recelvers format?
18
A
No, that would be the senders -- if I'm the
19 sender that is not my format.

10 award speech?
e
11
12
13
14
15
A
I don't remember, sir.
Q I'm going to show what appears to be an
e-mail dated Monday, November 20, 2000. It appears to be
from you to Leslie, your wife, and the subject is the
review by Leslie of your MVP award speech. First of all,
16 does that refresh your recollection that you gave an MVP
17 award speech?
18
19
A
No, sir.
You don't remember giving a speech about an
Q
20 MVP award?
21 A Let me read this (reading). I coached
22 soccer (reading) -- well, this says Tyler Stinson from
23 Carlisle received the MVP. My recollection was Tony
24 Francovia and somebody else got the awards.
e
25
THE MASTER: Let's move this along here. If
44

you don't remember, then you don't remember.

Q
-Is the subject of that speech ln that
e-mail?
A (No response) .
Q My question to you, sir, is: In November of
2000, having all of the animosity between you and your
wife, why is that an e-mail --
A Wait. I lost your first question about the
subject of the speech. This says MVP award speech. I'm
not sure of the title but --
15 Q Did you send the content of that document to
16 Leslie Radich bye-mail?
17 A This e-mail -- this does not look like my
18 e-mail --
19
20
Q
A
Did you send the content of that to Leslie?
The words, yeah, there could have been,
21 like, I did use these type of words but not -- this does
22 not look right.
23 Q Why did you ask Leslie for her input
24 concerning an MVP speech in soccer in November 2000 if you
e
25
were not living together?
45
e
1
A
The one kid that I can't remember his name,
2 his dad is a professor at Dickinson, yes, I did ask her for
3
certain
her opinions on things.
4 Q I'm going to show you, well, first of all,
5 what lS your e-mail address?
6 A Michael underscore P underscore Radich at
7 FMSO dot Navy dot Mil.
8 Q As I show you each one of these documents
9 and I give you the date, you tell me if that is not your
10 e-mail. Okay. The next one is the 26th of October 2000,
11 do you remember sending the content of that e-mail to your
12 wife?
e
13
A
I don't remember the content of these
14 e-mails and this e-mail does not match the way my e-mail lS
15 sent out.
16
Q
But it matches the way it is received by
17 Leslie, does it not?
18
A
No.
It sends the same way no matter who
19 receives it because, like, I just sent him an e-mail and
20 it's definitely not even close to this.
21 Q You did not send Leslie an e-mail that had
22 information concerning lunch money for you and certain
23 chores to be done around the house, in the fall of 2000?
24 You didn't do that?

THE MASTER: Let's not worry about the
format. I don't care about the format. Did you - - the
content lS what I am interested in. Did you send that
e-mail with that content? I don't care about the format.
THE WITNESS:
(Reading). Yes, the content
-- yes, I could have sent that content. Yes, things were
very tight.
BY MR. WAGNER:
Q
(Reading)
It is lunch time and I have a
1:00 meeting. Amy needs money for tonight. Might as well
give the same to Krissy to be fair. It goes down through.
(Reading) Remind me to check the car's exhaust. It is on
my list of things to do. Why would you send an e-mail
talking about lunch money and your dates for meetings and
information concerning taxes? Why would you send that to
Leslie in October of 2000 if you guys didn't love each
other and you weren't living together?
A Because financially at that time we were
several months behind on most of our bills, finances were
tight. She would take money out
there was not money
left, you know, for, like, even the common things, like,
groceries, kid's lunch money, and yes, I could do without

THE WITNESS:

MR. ANDES:
Well, I did.
All right. Well
He didn't read them all.
There
is a hundred and some pages -- he read parts of them.
THE MASTER: Are we going to go through all
15 MR. WAGNER: Well, I suggest to the Master
16 that the questioning that is being done is to the content.
17 They looked at the content. They looked at how it was done
18 and I suggest to you that this is just a way to avoid the
19 actual answer to a question, is the content of the e-mail
20 something sent, and that is what we are getting to.

you think they are doing? I am not interested in the

some of them and he handed them to me. I was able to read
THE MASTER: Well, you wouldn't know if he
sent them.
MR. ANDES: Well, no. But just in terms of
reading, I didn't have a chance to read them all. Many of
them are not directed to her, they are copies of e-mails to
other people apparently. For him to answer whether he sent
an e-mail with that content, he has to read it.
THE MASTER: Are you suggesting that we need
to have some time for him to review these e-mails?
MR. ANDES: No, I don't think we need to
have that.
THE MASTER: I don't want to sit here and
wait until he reads everyone of these e-mails while he is
49

being questioned about it and go through everyone of these
e-mails.
MR. ANDES: I understand that. But if he is
4 going to be asked questions about the e-mails, he has to
S have it in front of him to be able to look at it.
6 THE MASTER: Well, then do you want time to
7 review the e-mails?
8 MR. ANDES: Well, we've had time to review
9 the e-mails --

THE MASTER: No, you haven't. Actually what
11 has happened here is we have evidence that has not been
12 shared with counsel, exhibits that have not been exchanged,
-
13
and now we are coming in here to a hearing and we going
14 through the exhibits. We are not going to finish today
lS anyway so I am going to continue this hearing and we are
16 going to reschedule it at another time. This is adjourned.
17 You can get your exhibits together and then I will listen
18 to the rest of the case.

AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by his attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the court to award him exclusive possession of the marital residence, based
upon the following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Plaintiff. The Respondent herein is the Defendant.
2. The parties separated several years ago when Defendant moved to Carlisle and
established her residence there. At that time Plaintiff remained in the marital residence at
6 Pamela Place in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania with the parties' two children, both of
whom were minors at that time.
3. In 2001 serious marital difficulties arose between the parties and Defendant
became angry at Plaintiff and both of the parties children who then resided with Plaintiff.
As a result of Defendant's anger, she came to the residence and assaulted the parties'
older child and Plaintiff.
4. As a result of the disturbances between the parties, and Defendant's abuse of
Plaintiff and the children, Plaintiff filed an action before this court for relief under the
Protection from Abuse Act. That action was filed to No. 2001-1305 Civil Term.
5. In the protection from abuse action, following a hearing, Defendant was
excluded from the marital residence at 6 Pamela Place in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, an
ordered to stay away from Plaintiff and the children.
6. The order entered by this court in the protection from abuse action was
successful in protecting Plaintiff and the children from Defendant and there have been no
acts of abuse or intrusion at the residence since that order was entered.
7. The order entered by this court in the protection from abuse action has expired
or will expire shortly. Defendant has indicated her plan to attempt to move back into the
II
II
family residence, against Plaintiff's will and without his consent, promptly upon the
expiration of the order.
8. Plaintiff believes it is necessary that he be awarded exclusive possession of the
marital residence at 6 Pamela Place for the following reasons:
A. It is and continues to be the residence of Plaintiff and the older of
the two parties' children; and
B. If Defendant returns to the residence he believes she will resume
her abusive conduct toward both Plaintiff and the parties' daughter; and
C. He believes that the Defendant's return to the residence will result
in physical confrontations and, quite possibly, physical violence directed at
himself or the parties' older child; and
D. The Defendant's return to the marital residence, even if she is not
assaulted or abusive, will greatly disrupt the lives of Plaintiff and the parties'
older daughter.
9. Defendant has an adequate place to live and has lived there without any
difficulty since the parties separated more than two years ago. It is not necessary for
Defendant to return to the marital residence to live comfortably.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff petitions this court to award him exclusive possession of the
residence at 6 Pamela Place in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and to
exclude Defendant from that residence until further order of this court or until the divorce
action between the parties is concluded and the assets of the parties aredistributed.

Dear Judoe Olar
I write to confirm the messayt: lilY office conveyed to you earlier today
regarding the hearing scheduled in the above matter for this afternoon. The parties
have reached agreement which will make that hearing unnecessary. We hope to
have all of the matters resolved by written agreement in the near future and, at that
time, the petition will be withdrawn and the divorce action will be finalized. In the
meantime, on behalf of petitioner Michael Radich, I request that you cancel the
hearing scheduled for today.
