ARTICLE II. PURPOSES OF AGREEMENT AND EFFECTIVE DATE
Settlement of Property
2.01. It is the purpose and intent of this Agreement to settle forever and completely the
interests and obligations of the Parties in all property that they own separately, and all property
that would qualify as marital property under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, 23 Pa. C.S. ~ 3501 et
seq. and that is referred to in this Agreement as "marital property," as between themselves, their
heirs, and assigns. The Parties have attempted to divide their marital property in a manner that
conforms to a just and fair standard, with due regard to the rights of each Party. The division of

of assets, and the division is being effected without the introduction of outside funds or other
property not constituting a part of the marital estate.
Effective Date
2.02. This agreement shall become effective on the date submitted to the Court of Common
Pleas and incorporated into the decree of divorce issued by the Court.

regardless of whether they subsequently remarry each other, this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.
