ACTION IN DIVORCE
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW COMES, Plaintiff, Sunee McAllister, by and through her attorney, Jane
Adams, Esquire, and respectfully avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, (hereinafter referred to as "Wife"), is Sunee McAllister, who resides at 856
W. Louther St., Carlisle, Pa. 17013.
2. Defendant, (hereinafter referred to as "Husband"), is Howard McAllister, whose
address is P.O. Box 1608, Darlington, South Carolina, 29540.
3. Husband and Wife were married on April 19, 1969 in Thailand.
4. A Complaint in Divorce is being filed contemporaneously with this Petition under the
above-captioned docket number. The Complaint contains a count which requests equitable
distribution of marital property among other forms of economic relief.
5. Wife has served as the guardian of Husband's estate, during which a time it was found
Huband was unable to administer his own affairs pursuant to court Orders entered and filed in
Cumberland County Orphan's Court, under Docket No. 21-91-879.
6. Wife anticipates that an Order will be entered on or about the date of filing of this
petition, which ends Wife's guardianship of Husband's estate.
7. Wife contends that the assets held under this guardianship are marital assets, pursuant
to the Divorce Code.
8. There are currently a number of marital assets which will be released to Husband and
which will be titled in his name alone. These include, but are not necessarily limited to:
$72,369.94 in three CD's held at Members 1 st Federal Credit Union.
9. Wife is currently living in the marital home and has very limited funds upon which to
live. She currently receives $726.00 in spousal support and $564.00 a month in social security.
10. Wife has no other income and is not in possession of any other considerable assets
other than the marital home. Wife's disposable monthly income is insufficent to pay her
immediate critical living expenses and insufficient to pay expert fees, attorney's fees and costs in
order to adequately pursue her divorce.
11. Husband receives a pension and enjoys a monthly income in the amount of $2046.62
per month.
12. Section 23 Pa.C.S. 3502 (f) provides that "the Court, upon the request of either party,
may at any state of the proceedings, enter an order providing for an interim partial distribution or
assignment of marital property.
13. Wife has no adequate remedy at law and she will suffer irreparable harm until she
receives an advance distribution against her share of the marital estate.
14. There are sufficient marital assets to protect Husband's interest with regard to a
further advance distribution to the Wife from the marital estate.
15. Wife requests that the court preliminarily enjoin Husband from disposing of or
encumbering any of the parties' remaining marital assets that are being held in the parties' joint
names or in Husband's sole name.
16. Wife believes and avers that immediately upon termination of the guardianship, and
return of the property to Husband, Husband will dispose of the remaining assets of the parties
that are held in joint names or his sole name in order to defeat Wife's right in same as marital
property.
IT Wife will suffer immediate and irreparable harm if Husband is not enjoined from
disposing of the parties' marital assets, in that the marital assets in Wife's sole name are grossly
insufficient to act as an offset.
18. There will be no prejudice to the Husband by enjoining him from further disposition
of the remaining assets of the parties held in the parties' joint names or in the Husband's sole
name, except without leave of this Court, in that the Husband receives a pension has adequate
income to support himself during the pendency of this proceeding.
19. For all of the aforesaid reasons, Wife is without an adequate remedy at law and must
seek equitable relief in order to avoid the aforesaid immediate and irreparable harm.
20. Wife requests the following:
(a) That pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. §3502(f), the Court direct that Wife immediately
receive $7,000.00 from the Marital Assets held at Member's First Bank as an
advance distribution against her share of the marital estate.
(b) That the court issue an injunction without a hearing, to preliminarily enjoin
Husband from disposing of or encumbering any of the parties' marital assets that
are being held in the parties' joint names or in Husband's sole name. Wife further
requests that Husband be permanently enjoined thereafter from disposing of said
assets during the pendency of equitable distribution proceedings and until further
Order of Court.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays that this Honorable Court direct an advance
distribution to Plaintiff and enjoin Defendant from disposing of remaining the marital assets.

IN DIVORCE
RESPONSE TO PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
1. Admitted.
2. Mr. McAllister has moved to a different address in South Carolina.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Wife served as guardian of her husband's estate since 1991. The parties had
separated prior to her appointment as guardian. During the term of her guardianship, Wife
neglected to file annual reports for a number of years. More recently, when Wife has filed the
annual reports, it is evident from the reports that she has wrongfully appropriated money that
she was receiving to her use and benefit, rather than to the use and benefit of Mr. McAllister.
6. Wife has been resistant to terminating the guardianship due to her malfeasance
in her duties as guardian. Since Husband's release from confinement, she has purposely
denied him funds necessary for his basic needs. Mr. McAllister has relied on loans from his
family in as much as the amount that his wife sent him was insufficient to even pay for the
medications necessary for his health.
7. The assets held under this guardianship are not marital assets because the
parties separated prior to her appointment as guardian.
8. Mr. McAllister avers that the assets in the CD's held at Member's 1s` Federal
Credit Union are not marital assets. Attached hereto is court order entered by Judge Bayley in
reference to the requirement that these CD's be delivered to Mr. McAllister.
9. It is denied that Wife has limited funds upon which to live. Her home is paid off
and she has investments in CD's and retirement benefits which she did not disclose in her
petition. Mr. McAllister is in the process of securing the transcript from the most recent
support hearing appeal which will document this fact.
10. As indicated, Wife does have assets for fees, attorney's fees and costs. Due to
Wife's malfeasance in the conduct of her guardianship, she appropriated monies that were
due McAllister after the parties separation to her own use. Prior to the filing of this divorce
action, Wife had sufficient income to pay her living expenses as she was receiving regular
income as well as support as determined by the support guidelines.
11. Husband receives a disability payment, and not a pension, in the amount of Two
Thousand One Hundred Twenty-One Dollars and 00/100 ($2,121.00) monthly. This is a
disability payment due to Husband's military service.
12. Wife is not entitled to receive a partial distribution because the only marital
property is represented by the home which she has sole and exclusive possession of. Said
home is free and clear of any mortgage and the mortgage was paid off by Mr. McAllister.
13. Wife has an adequate remedy at law and she will not suffer any harm and she
will not suffer irreparable harm. Again, there are no marital assets that are subject to a
distribution as aforesaid.
14. As indicated, the marital assets consist of the value of the marital home. The
assets that were accumulated during Wife's guardianship are Mr. McAllister's separate
property.
15. Mr. McAllister again points to the court order issued by the Honorable Edgar B.
Bayley, which authorizes him to receive and have control of the funds that accumulated during
his guardianship.
16. The guardianship has terminated, an order has issued by the Court and Mr.
McAllister again avers that the funds he is receiving are non-marital property.
17. It is denied that Wife will suffer immediate and irreparable harm if Husband is not
enjoined as indicated. The property Husband is receiving is his separate property and not
marital property.
18. There is prejudice to Mr. McAllister from his receiving his assets. Mr. McAllister
receives a disability pension for disabling injuries that accrued during his military service.
Additionally, Mr. McAllister is legally entitled to receive and retain the funds that were
accumulated during his guardianship and after the parties separation as the same is not
marital property.
19. Wife has sufficient assets if she wishes to pursue a divorce at this time. The
parties have been separated for an excess of fifteen (15) and all during that time Wife had the
opportunity to proceed with the divorce action. It is averred that all during that period, Wife
never considered the fact that Mr. McAllister would recover sufficiently so as to have his
guardianship terminated and to receive the funds that had accumulated during his
guardianship.
20. Wife is not entitled to a distribution from the assets that are already under court
order to be delivered to Mr. McAllister.
WHEREFORE, the defendant respectfully requests that your Honorable Court deny the
relief requested by the plaintiff.

assets that were accumulated during Wife's guardianship are Mr. McAllister's separate
property.
15. Mr. McAllister again points to the court order issued by the Honorable Edgar B.
Bayley, which authorizes him to receive and have control of the funds that accumulated during
his guardianship.
16. The guardianship has terminated, an order has issued by the Court and Mr.
McAllister again avers that the funds he is receiving are non-marital property.
17. It is denied that Wife will suffer immediate and irreparable harm if Husband is not
enjoined as indicated. The property Husband is receiving is his separate property and not
marital property.
18. There is prejudice to Mr. McAllister from his receiving his assets. Mr. McAllister
receives a disability pension for disabling injuries that accrued during his military service.
Additionally, Mr. McAllister is legally entitled to receive and retain the funds that were
accumulated during his guardianship and after the parties separation as the same is not
marital property.
19. Wife has sufficient assets if she wishes to pursue a divorce at this time. The
parties have been separated for an excess of fifteen (15) and all during that time Wife had the
opportunity to proceed with the divorce action. It is averred that all during that period, Wife
never considered the fact that Mr. McAllister would recover sufficiently so as to have his
guardianship terminated and to receive the funds that had accumulated during his
guardianship.
20. Wife is not entitled to a distribution from the assets that are already under court
order to be delivered to Mr. McAllister.
WHEREFORE, the defendant respectfully requests that your Honorable Court deny the
relief requested by the plaintiff.
Respectfully submitted,

Defendant IN DIVORCE
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Howard McAllister, by and through his attorneys,
O'BRIEN, BARIC & SCHERER, and files the within Preliminary Objections and, in
support thereof, sets forth the following:
1. Plaintiff and Defendant were married on April 19, 1969, in Thailand.
2. Neither Plaintiff nor Defendant has previously filed for divorce or
annulment.
3. Plaintiff filed a complaint in divorce against Howard McAllister on or
about September 8, 2005.
4. Plaintiff and Defendant are both citizens of the United States.
1. LACK OF JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON
5. Howard McAllister currently resides in Darlington, South Carolina.
6. Howard first came to Pennsylvania because of a military assignment at the
War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania on or about 1977.
7. The residence, located at 856 W. Louther Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
was purchased by Howard on September 1, 1977.
8. Thereafter, Howard was assigned to numerous military assignments,
worldwide, including Florida, Thailand, Germany, and New Jersey.
9. In 1991, Howard was discharged from the military as 100% disabled due
to mental illness and thereafter began receiving disability pay.
10. After 1991, Howard was hospitalized in Minnesota and South Carolina
and never returned to Pennsylvania.
11. 10 U.S.C.S. § 1408(c)(4) states that "a court may not treat the disposable
retired pay of a member... unless the court has jurisdiction over the member by reason of
(A) his residence, other than because of military assignment, in the territorial jurisdiction
of the court, (B) his domicile in the territorial jurisdiction of the court, or (C) his consent
to the jurisdiction of the court." [emphasis added]
12. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court held in Wagner v. Wagner, 768 A.2d
1112, 1117, 564 Pa. 448 (2001), "[Congress] usurped state long-arm statutes and
provided in § 1408(c)(4)(A)-(C) its own tests of personal jurisdiction that all courts must
apply." The Court further stated "the Act controls the authority that state family law
courts have over a single item, military retirement pay. The Act represents `one of those
rare instances where Congress has directly and specifically legislated in the area of
domestic relations."' Id. at 1118, citing Mansell v. Mansell, 490 U.S. 581, 587, 109 S.Ct.
2023, 104 L.Ed.2d 675 (1989).
13. Mr. McAllister resided in Pennsylvania as a direct result of his military
assignment to the Carlisle Barricks.
14. Mr. McAllister has not been domiciled in Pennsylvania for at least the past
fifteen (15) years.
15. Waaner further held that "Congress intended for the consent requirement
in § 1408(c)(4)(c) to relate, like the rest of the Act, specifically to a military member's
pension." W_ agner at 1118.
16. Mr. McAllister has not consented, for purposes of his military pension, to
the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Howard McAllister, requests that this Court sustain
Defendant's Preliminary Objections to jurisdiction.

benefits are not part of the service member's "disposable retired pay."
12. Admitted in part, denied in part. Under Wagner v. Wagner, 768 A.2d 1112, 564 Pa.
448, 460 (2001), the member can only withhold consent specifically to the court's jurisdiction

However, 10 U.S.C.S. §1408(c)(4) applies to a pension, or "disposable retired pay" of a member.
Defendant receives military disabili retired pay, and disability benefits are not part of the
service member's "disposable retired pay."
16. Admitted in part, denied in part. Admitted that Mr. McAllister has not expressly
consented, in writing, for purposes of a military pension, to the jurisdiction of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, Mr. McAllister receives military disability retired
pay. It is unknown whether Mr. McAllister also receives military retired pay. Also, under
Wagner v. Wagner, 768 A.2d 1112, 564 Pa. 448, 460 (2001), the member can only withhold
consent specifically to the court's jurisdiction with respect to retirement pay. He is still subject
to the court's personal jurisdiction regarding the divorce and the division of other marital
property.

NOW THEREFORE, the above-numbered recitals being incorporated by reference and
deemed an essential part hereof and in consideration of the covenants and promises hereinafter to
be mutually kept and performed by each Party, as well as for other good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Senarati6n. It shall be lawful for each Party at all times hereafter to live
separate and apart from the other Party, at such place or places as he or she, from time to time,
may choose or deem fit, free from any control, restraint, or interference from the other. Neither
Party shall disparage or discredit the other in any way, nor in any way injure his or her
reputation. Neither Party shall act or permit anyone else to act in any way that might tend to
create any disaffection, disloyalty, or disrespect between the members of the family of either
Party. The Parties separated in 1991.

2. Divorce. The Parties acknowledge that their marriage is irretrievably broken
and that they will secure a mutual consent, no-fault divorce decree in the above-captioned
divorce action. Simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall execute the
Affidavits of Consent and Waiver of Notice forms necessary to finalize this divorce, to be
immediately thereafter filed with the Prothonotary's office.
If either Party fails or refuses to execute and file the forgoing documents, said failure or
refusal shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the non-
breaching Party to terminate this Agreement at his or her option.
3. Real Property. The Parties are owners of certain real property located at 856
W. Louther Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, hereinafter referred to as the
"Property". The Parties moved into the Property on or about September 1, 1977. Both Parties
are on the deed; there is no mortgage on the property. Husband shall, by quitclaim deed, sign
over his right, title, and interest to Wife as soon as practical after the execution of this
Agreement. In exchange for Husband's transfer to Wife of the Property, Wife agrees to accept
an agreed upon amount of alimony and further agrees that the division of marital property as
herein described is fair and reasonable. The Parties own no other real property.
4. Debts. The parties have the following marital debts: None. The only debt
involving both Parties 411 a Promissory Note from Wife to Husband in the amount of $7,000.00 at
the rate of three percent (3%) interest given on November 15, 1999. Husband hereby releases
Wife from any and all obligations on the Note and agrees to forgo collection on said account.
In the event that either Party is unaware of a debt incurred by the other Party, the Party
benefiting from said debt shall be responsible for the debt, regardless of the name in which the
debt may have been incurred. In the event that either Party contracted or incurred any debt since
the date of separation, the Party who incurred the debt and benefited therefrom shall be
3
responsible for the payment thereof, regardless of the name in which the debt may have been
incurred.
From the date of this Agreement, neither Party shall contract or incur any debt or liability
for which the other Party or his or her property or estate might be responsible. Each Party shall
indemnify and save the other Party harmless from any and all claims or demands made against
him or her by reason of debts or obligations incurred by the other Party. In the event that either
Party contracts for or incurs any debt from the date of this Agreement, the Party who incurs the
debt and benefits therefrom shall be responsible for the payment thereof, regardless of the name
in which the debt is incurred.
5. Motor Vehicles. The Parties are the owners of two (2) vehicles. Husband's
vehicle, a 2005 Buick Century, is financed and titled in Husband's name alone. Wife's vehicle, a
1999 Chevrolet Malibu, is paid for and titled in Wife's name alone. The Parties agree that
Husband shall keep his vehicle and shall assume any and all liabilities attached thereto and that
Wife shall keep her vehicle and shall assume any and all liabilities attached thereto. The Parties
hereby release the other from liability on each Party's respective vehicle. The Parties have no
other vehicles.
6. Tangible Personal Property. By mutual agreement and at the expense of
Husband, Wife shall ship any of Husband's remaining personal property from Wife's
Pennsylvania residence to Husband's South Carolina residence. Except as otherwise provided,
the Parties have mutually agreed and have fully effectuated a satisfactory division of all other
tangible, personal property. The Parties further agree that from this day forward, each Party in
possession shall be the sole and rightful owner of such property, regardless of whether the
property was jointly owned previous hereto.
4
7. Intangible Personal Property. Except as otherwise provided, the Parties
hereby release and relinquish any and all rights, title, and interest in or to any intangible personal
property of the other, including, but not limited to, stocks, bonds, CDs, insurance, bank accounts,
other retirement accounts, employment benefits, including, but not limited to, retirement
accounts, savings plans, pension plan, stock plans, 401k plans, and the like. Subject to
Paragraph 8, Wife and Husband mutually relinquish any and all rights either may have in each
other's retirement accounts, whether considered an asset or a stream of income.
8. Alimony. Husband agrees to pay Wife alimony in the monthly amount of
$450.00 from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service ("DFAS"). Currently, the
garnishment deduction for spousal support is $900.00 from DFAS. That amount shall be
reduced to $450.00 as consideration for Husband signing over title of the marital home to Wife.
The amount of alimony may be modified by a Court upon a showing of changed circumstances
beyond the control of either Party, of a substantial and settled nature.
Husband shall continue to fund the costs of the Survivor Benefit Plan ("SBP") for Wife
alone and Wife shall be designated as a former spouse beneficiary for the SBP. Wife shall
hereafter make a "deemed election" for SBP coverage within one (1) year of the date of the
divorce decree directly to the Retired Pay office, DFAS, US Military Retirement Pay, P.O. Box
7130, London, KY 40742-7130. Both Husband and Wife shall execute all documents necessary
to effectuate this transition from current spouse to former spouse.
The Pennsylvania State Collection and Disbursement Unit is the current "payee" on
Husband's account. Upon execution of this document, the "payee" shall become Sunee
McAllister, 856 W. Louther St., Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013
Alimony shall terminate upon Wife's cohabitation, remarriage or the death of either
Party. DFAS payments are non-taxable to Husband; however, Wife shall be responsible for any
and all tax implications of this alimony.
9. Bank Accounts. The Parties acknowledge that all joint bank accounts have
been closed or divided to each Party's mutual satisfaction prior to the execution of this
Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that any bank accounts established
individually by the Parties shall become the sole and separate property of that Party simultaneous
with the execution of this Agreement.
10. After-Acquired Property. Each of the Parties shall own and enjoy,
independent of any claims or rights of the other, all real property and all items of personal
property, tangible or intangible, hereafter acquired, with full power to use and dispose of as
though he or she was unmarried. Any property so acquired shall be owned solely by that Party
and the other Party shall have no right or claim thereto.
11. Life Insurance. To the extent that either Party has life insurance policies,
simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement those policies shall become the sole and
separate property of the individual owning the policy. The Parties adopt 20 Pa.C.S.A. § 6111.2
to govern their policies held in favor of each other, regardless of where each individual party
resides at the time of his or her death. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude either
Party from designating beneficiaries under or encumbering their respective life insurance
policies.
12. Attorneys' Fees. Each Party shall be responsible for his or her own counsel
fees, costs, and expenses. Each of the Parties hereby waives the right to receive payment for
counsel fees from the other.
6
13. Additional Instruments. Both Parties shall, at the request of the other,
execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other Party any instrument(s) that may be reasonably
necessary to effectuate and give full force and effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
14. Bankruptcy. Both Parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall not
be dischargeable in bankruptcy and expressly agree to reaffirm any and all obligations contained
herein.
15. Complete Disclosure. Both Parties acknowledge that each Party is entitled to
seek discovery through this divorce including, but not limited to, written interrogatories, motions
for production of documents, the taking of depositions, the filing of inventories, and all other
means of discovery permitted under the Pa Divorce Code or Pa Rules of Civil Procedure. Both
Parties further acknowledge that each Party has had the opportunity to discuss with counsel, if
desired, the concept of marital property under Pa law and that each is aware of his or her right to
have the real and/or personal property, assets, earnings and income, and debts and liabilities of
the other Party assessed or evaluated by the courts of this Commonwealth. The Parties hereby
acknowledge that there has been full and fair disclosure to the other of his or her respective real
and/or personal property, assets, earnings and income, and debts and liabilities - whether joint or
individual. The Parties agree that any right to further disclosure, valuation, appraisal or
enumeration is hereby waived. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the division of real and/or
personal property, assets, earnings and income, and debts and liabilities as set forth in this
Agreement is fair, reasonable, and equitable and is satisfactory to each of them.
The Parties covenant and agree that neither he nor she, nor the Parties' heirs, executors,
administrators, or assigns, will ever, at any time hereafter, sue the other Party or the other Party's
heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns in any action of contention, direct or indirect, and
allege therein that there was a denial of rights to full disclosure or that there was fraud, duress,
7
undue influence or that there was a failure to have available full, proper, and independent
representation by legal counsel.
16. Waiver of Appraisals. The Parties acknowledge that they are aware of their
right pursuant to the Pa Divorce Code to obtain formal valuations or appraisals of all property,
real or personal, including, but not limited to, the real estate and/or personal property, vehicles,
and 401 k or IRA retirements, some or all of which were acquired during the marriage, therefore
constituting marital property. However, the Parties have agreed to forgo appraisals and
valuations.
17. Release of All Claims. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party hereby
forever releases and completely discharges the other from any and all right, title, or interest in
any claim for support, division of property, increase in marital property value, right of dower or
curtsey, the right to act as administrator or executor of the estate of the other, the right to a
distributive share of the other's estate, any right of exemption in the estate of the other, or any
other rights, benefits or privileges accruing to either party by virtue of their marriage. The
Parties specifically waive any and all rights to equitable distribution, alimony, and counsel fees,
except those fees sought in the event of a breach of this Agreement.
18. Severability. If any term, condition, clause, or provision of this Agreement is
later determined to be void or invalid, then only that terms, condition, clause, or provision shall
be stricken from this Agreement. In all other respects, this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect.
19. Choice of Law. All matters affecting the interpretation of this Agreement and
the rights of the Parties hereto shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
8
20. Incorporation into Divorce Decree. The Parties agree that this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect after such time as a Final Decree in Divorce is entered in
this matter. Upon entry of the Final Decree, the provisions of this Agreement may be
incorporated by reference or in substance, but they shall not be deemed to be merged into such
Decree. This Agreement shall survive any such Decree and shall be independent thereof. The
Parties intend that all obligations contained herein shall retain their contractual nature in any
enforcement proceedings, in this matter or otherwise.
21. Breach. It is expressly agreed upon and stipulated that in the event that either
Party successfully sues for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, the breaching Party
shall be responsible for any and all costs incurred to enforce the Agreement, including, but not
limited to, the non-breaching Party's attorneys' fees, court costs, fees, or any other cost. In the
event of breach, the non-breaching Party shall have the right to sue for damages for such breach
or to seek such other and additional remedies as may be available.
22. Entire Understanding. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of
the Parties and there are no covenants, conditions, representation, or agreements - oral or
written, of any nature whatsoever - other than those herein contained.
23. Agreement Binding on Parties, Heirs, Etc. The Parties agree that this
Agreement binds not only the Parties hereto but also the Parties' heirs, administrators, executors,
assigns, and others. All shall be bound by the terms, conditions, clauses, and provisions herein.

the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which the employer is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the
