Attorney for Plaintiff
CHERYL L. KLEEMAN IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
VS. NO. 06- 1868 - CIVIL
RAYMOND G. HOLLOWAY, JR. IN DIVORCE
Defendant CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PETITION REQUESTING BIFURCATION OF CIVIL ACTION IN DIVORCE
AND NOW comes Cheryl L. Kleeman, Plaintiff, by and through her attorney, Carl G.
Wass, Esquire, Caldwell & Kearns, P.C., and respectfully petitions Your Honorable Court to
bifurcate the present action in divorce so as to separate the status of the continued marriage of
the parties to each other from the resolution of the single claim of "Equitable Distribution" of
marital property raised by the Defendant and to permit, upon request, the entry of a Decree in
Divorce, but retaining jurisdiction over the economic issue of Equitable Distribution, and, in
support thereof, Plaintiff avers as follows:
Plaintiff filed her "Complaint Under Section 3301(c) or 3301(d) of the Divorce Code"
on March 30, 2006.
2. Service of the Complaint in Divorce was accepted by the attorney representing the
Defendant, to wit: Shana M. Pugh, Esquire, on April 10, 2006, said ACCEPTANCE OF
SERVICE having been filed of record on May 15, 2006. Thereafter, pursuant to an
Order of Your Honorable Court, dated February 7, 2008, leave was granted to the said
Shana M. Pugh, Esquire, to withdraw her appearance and such withdrawal has been
accomplished.
3. The Plaintiff and Defendant were married on July 11, 1998. From the date of their
marriage to the date of the filing of this Petition, the parties have been separated for a
longer period of time then that period of time during which they cohabited with each
other. More specifically, the periods of cohabitation and separation are set forth as
follows:
a. The parties resided together from 7/11/1998 to 1/19/2002;
b. The parties were separated from 1/19/2002 to 12/4/2004;
C. The parties cohabited from 12/4/2004 to 11/23/2005; and,
d. The parties have remained separated from 11/23/2005 to the date of the filing
of the within Petition.
In summary, the parties have been in a married state to and with each other for a period
of time slightly less then eleven years; have cohabited for a period of time slightly less
then three and one-half years; and, have been separated for almost seven and one-half of
those years, finally separating from each other on November 23, 2005, more then three
and one-half years ago.
4. During the lengthy period of separation of the parties which occurred between January
19, 2001 and December 4, 2004, the Plaintiff became pregnant to an unidentified male
and gave birth to her only child, Hannah Rose Kleeman, who was born on March 25,
2002.
5. Following the final separation of the parties, the Defendant, knowing that he was not,
and could not be, the natural father of Hannah Rose Kleeman, filed a Complaint seeking
4
custody of the minor child, Hannah Rose Kleeman, said Complaint being docketed to
the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, No. 06-668 Civil Term.
6. Following several hearings before the Honorable M. L. Ebert, Jr., the Judge entered a
final Order which placed full legal and physical custody of Hannah Rose Kleeman in
the hands of her natural mother, the Plaintiff in this case, Cheryl L. Kleeman, and
denied any partial physical custody of the minor child to Raymond Halloway.
7. An appeal from the Order entered by Judge Ebert on June 21, 2006 was filed with the
Superior Court of Pennsylvania and, thereafter, a Memorandum Order of the Superior
Court was filed on April 18, 2007 which AFFIRMED the Order entered by Judge Ebert.
8. During the period of time while the parties were involved in the litigation regarding the
custody of Hannah Rose Kleeman, there was no activity whatsoever taken by either
party pertaining to the pending action in divorce, the only documents appearing of
record being the Complaint in Divorce and the Acceptance of Service.
9. On November 29, 2007, the attorney for the Plaintiff corresponded with the Defendant
and his attorney and sent to both the Defendant and his attorney a standard form of
"Consent to the Divorce", seeking the consent of the Defendant to the entry of a
Divorce Decree in the within case. A copy of the aforementioned correspondence,
together with a copy of the form of "Affidavit of Consent" is attached hereto, identified
as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.
10. There was no response to the aforementioned correspondence nor was there any action
taken by either party until January 17, 2008.
11. On January 17, 2008, the Plaintiff caused to be filed in the within divorce action an
Affidavit Under Section 3301(d) of the Divorce Code, alleging that the final separation
5
between the parties had occurred on November 3, 2005, a period of time greater then
two years prior to the date of filing of the Affidavit.
12. On or about March 27, 2008, the Defendant, acting "pro se", prepared and filed in the
within divorce action the following documents:
a. A "Counter Affidavit Under Section 3301(d) of the Divorce Code" which did
not indicate any opposition to the entry of a Divorce Decree, but did indicate
the Defendant's "wish to claim economic relief";
b. "Defendant's Petition for Related Claims Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1920.15(b)"
which requested that there be made by Your Honorable Court an equitable
distribution of marital property of the parties; and,
c. A "Motion for Appointment of Master".
13. A Master in Divorce was appointed by Your Honorable Court, to wit: E. Robert
Elicker, II, Esquire, Divorce Master and Mr. Elicker issued a NOTICE of the
scheduling of a conference with the Plaintiff and her counsel, and the Defendant, to
occur in his Office on July 1, 2008 at 1:30 p.m.
14. On July 1, 2008, at the conference before the Master, the Defendant indicated that he
was represented by counsel (namely Jeanne Costopoulos, Esquire), but that counsel was
unable to be present with the Defendant at the Master's Conference. The Master
thereupon identified that the single, significant marital asset arising out of the marriage
of the parties was the vested retirement interest of the Plaintiff in her Pennsylvania State
Employees Retirement System pension account and he insisted that a valuation thereof
be made, that the marital and non-marital portions thereof be determined and that a
present value thereof be determined. Prior to the scheduling of any hearing, the Master
6
thereupon directed counsel for the Plaintiff to communicate with Jeanne Costopoulos,
Esquire, to ascertain if she was or was not in fact representing the Defendant and, he
also directed that the cost of the securing of the pension evaluation be equally shared by
the parties.
15. On July 9, 2008, counsel for the Plaintiff directed a letter to the Defendant informing
the Defendant of the cost of a valuation of Plaintiff's pension account and requesting
that the Defendant send a check to said counsel for his equal contribution ($225) to the
total cost ($450) of the pension evaluation. A copy of the aforementioned
correspondence of July 9, 2008, is attached hereto, identified as Exhibit "B" and
incorporated herein by reference.
16. No response has been received from the Defendant to Exhibit "B".
17. Acting upon the request of the Master, counsel for the Plaintiff also did contact Jeanne
Costopoulos, Esquire, who, in a return telephone call indicated that she did not
represent the Defendant and had not entered her appearance on his behalf.
18. As a result of that telephone response from Jeanne Costopoulos, counsel for the
Plaintiff, on July 16, 2008, again communicated with the Defendant offering the
suggestion that the granting of the divorce by the Court, could be granted by the mutual
consent of both of the parties, with the issue of the equitable distribution of the PSERS
pension account of the Plaintiff being bifurcated, set apart, and preserved for a
subsequent disposition by the Divorce Master and the Court. A copy of the
correspondence of July 16, 2008, as well as a copy of the "Affidavit of Consent"
accompanying that correspondence, is attached hereto, identified as Exhibit "C" and
incorporated herein by reference.
7
19. No response to the correspondence represented by Exhibit "C" (despite the inclusion
therewith of a self-addressed stamped, return envelope) has been received from the
Defendant.
20. In view of the fact that the parties have been separated from each other since November
23, 2005, a period of time now in excess of three and one-half years, Plaintiff continues
to persist in her averment, as set forth in her Affidavit filed on January 17, 2008, that
the marriage is irretrievably broken. Additionally, the lengthy and costly litigation
surrounding the Defendant's efforts to seek custody of the minor daughter of the
Plaintiff is averred to have been a ploy or an effort on the part of the Defendant to entice
the Plaintiff to enter into a reconciliation, and was not a bona fide effort on the part of
the Defendant to have custodial rights with regard to Plaintiff's minor daughter.
Furthermore, Plaintiff avers that the Defendant knew, at the time that he filed the
Complaint for Custody, and throughout the entire litigation, that the minor child was not
his child and that he could not have fathered that child or any other child.
21. Plaintiff believes, and therefore avers that the only reason that Defendant has exhibited
for delaying the entry of a Divorce Decree is his persistent and ongoing effort to try to
cajole, entice, or otherwise intimidate the Plaintiff into a reconciliation with the
Defendant.
22. Defendant has not, in any document filed in the within action by him, disputed the
accuracy of the claim of the Plaintiff that the parties have been separated since
November 23, 2005, nor has he disputed that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
23. Finally, Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that the sole purpose of the obstinate and
obdurate conduct of the Defendant is to prevent, for as long as possible, the ability of
8
the Plaintiff to be freed from the ties of her marriage to the Defendant and her ability to
be able to lead a life of her own, with her daughter, free and clear of any continuing ties
with the Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays Your Honorable Court issue a Rule upon the Defendant to
show cause, if any he has, why the within, pending action in divorce should not be bifurcated,
thereby permitting the Plaintiff to request that a Decree in Divorce be issued by this Court,
SUBJECT NEVERTHELESS, to the retained jurisdiction of this Honorable Court to enter a
separate and final Order thereafter, upon recommendation of the Divorce Master, as to a
subsequent disposition of the claim herein made by the Defendant for equitable distribution of
any marital property of the parties.

As you know, two years and more have now passed from the date when you and your wife, Cheryl,
finally separated from each other. The length of that period of separation would entitle Cheryl to
pursue the entry of a Decree in Divorce based upon "no fault" standards. However, even the securing
of a "no fault" divorce involves an expenditure of money on Cheryl's part which, to be perfectly
honest with you, she would prefer to avoid.
Consequently, before we would take any further steps towards securing a -'two-year no fault
divorce", we are communicating with you with the thought in mind that, after this lengthy period of'
separation you may very well have "moved forward" with you life and might be willing simply to
give your consent to the entry of a Divorce Decree.
at
a The identified grounds for the divorce in the Complaint were that "the marriage is irretrievably
broken". I think that fact is true. I think that, by this time, you also know that it is true. And, you
may (or may not) at this point in time be willing to acknowledge that the marriage is in fact at an
end.
I am enclosing two copies of a standard form of Consent to the Divorce, with the request that you
sign and date one of those copies and return it to me by use of the enclosed, self-addressed, stamped
envelope. The extra copy of the form of Consent is for you to retain for your own records.
ovembcr 29, 2 0 0 7

If you will give your consent, please sign one of the enclosed forms, date it, and return it to me. If it
is your wish not to sign the form of Consent, please let me know that such is your wish by mailing
back to me the Consent form unsigned and undated.
Please note that a copy of this letter and a copy of the form of Consent to Divorce, is being
forwarded to Shana Pugh, the attorney who had initially represented you in the divorce action and in
the trial stage of the custody issues.
Very truly yours,

At the time of our conference with Robert Elicker, the Divorce Master, he indicated that he wished to
have both of the parties participate in the securing of a formal evaluation of the pension interest of
Cheryl and that he wanted that valuation to reflect also the "coverture fraction" (the percentage of the
entire value which would be attributable to the period of your marriage to each other).
I have contacted Jonathan D. Cramer, F.S.A., of Conrad Siegel Actuaries, and he informs me that the
deposit which that firm requires for the performance of such a valuation is $450. The Master
indicated he expected both parties to contribute equally to that cost; therefore, I am requesting you
send me your check in the amount of $225, payable to "Conrad Siegel, Actuaries". I have Cheryl's
check and will make the request of Mr. Cramer, sending the two checks in full payment to him.
Thank you for your expected cooperation.

As requested by the Divorce Master I called Jeanne Costopoulos. She returned my call on July 14
and indicated that, though she had had a single conversation with you by telephone, she does not
represent you in this divorce action and, of course, has not entered her appearance on your behalf.
A bifurcation of the severance of the marital relationship (the "divorce") will not in anyway impact
your ability or Cheryl's ability to raise and pursue any economic issues which have arisen as a result
of your marriage to each other. Those economic issues raised by you, have been properly laid before
the Master, and will be heard and addressed by the Master. Thus, neither you nor Cheryl gain
anything or lose anything if a "bifurcated" Decree in Divorce should be entered.
I am enclosing two copies of a form of Affidavit of Consent to the divorce. You will note that I have
prefaced the Consent form with some very specific language which makes it clear that, by giving
consent, there is no waiver on your part (or on Cheryl's part) of the continued ability to dispute over
the economic issues until they are resolved following a hearing by the Master.
I request that you sign, date, and return to me one of those enclosed forms of Affidavit of Consent to
the divorce so that I may file it (together with an identical form signed by Cheryl) with the
Cumberland County Court so as to secure the "bifurcated" Decree in Divorce. A self-addressed,
stamped envelope is enclosed with this letter for your use.

CHERYL L. KLEEMAN, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF

vs. NO. 06 - 1868 CIVIL
RAYMOND G. HOLLOWAY, JR.,:
Defendant IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: Today is Thursday,
September 3, 2009. This is the date set for a hearing to
determine whether or not the wife is entitled to a divorce
decree. Present in the hearing room are the Plaintiff,
Cheryl L. Kleeman, and her counsel Carl G. Wass, and the
Defendant, Raymond G. Holloway, Jr., who is not represented
by counsel. Also present is Karen Miller, the associate of
Mr. Wass.
Judge Ebert entered an order June 16, 2009,
bifurcating the divorce action but directed the Master to
have a hearing to recommend whether or not the Plaintiff is
entitled to a divorce.
The hearing today has been scheduled for that
purpose; the Plaintiff filed an affidavit under Section
3301(d) averring the parties separated on November 23, 2005.
Both parties today have acknowledged that they agree to that
date of separation. Therefore, the parties have been
separated for a period in excess of two years and wife would
be entitled to a divorce under Section 3301(d) of the
Domestic Relations Code.
Although the Defendant filed a
1
counter-affidavit to wife's 3301(d) affidavit, he did not
dispute the grounds for divorce but rather indicated that he
wished to raise economic claims. The Defendant has raised
an economic claim of equitable distribution by petition
filed on March 27, 2008.
Consequently, the Master recommends that wife
be granted a decree in divorce based on a separation in
excess of two years from November 23, 2005.
A hearing on the economic claim raised by
husband of equitable distribution has been scheduled for
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. We are going to
provide notices to counsel and the parties today before they
leave indicating the date and time of the hearing. The
claim of equitable distribution should be noted as a claim
pending in the divorce decree.
RECOOGMATION
The Master recommends that wife be granted a
decree in divorce under Section 3301(d) based on a
separation of the parties of more than two years, from
2
.40
November 23, 2005. The claim of equitable distribution is
preserved for further adjudication.
