4. The parties separated on or about May 1, 2006.
5. The parties own personal and real property, including real estate
located at 8 James Circle, Shippensburg, Cumberland County,

6. Each party is in possession of different items of marital property

7. At the time of separation, Respondent removed the marital family

8. Since separation, Petitioner has requested that Respondent copy
the photos or otherwise allow her to retrieve the photos.
9. Respondent has refused to do so, and has threatened to destroy
the photos.
10. Respondent's latest threat came immediately following the child

2006, at which time it was recommended that Respondent pay
approximately $700.00 per month to Petitioner for the child support
of their son.
11. Immediately following the support conference, in the Domestic

13. Respondent refused to do, he said out of fear that Petitioner would
dispose of other marital property in her possession.
14. Petitioner, through counsel, expressed to Respondent that she is
willing to enter into a stipulation that provides for the prevention of
the disposal of any marital property by either party pending
equitable distribution; Respondent refused.
15. Respondent gave Petitioner the indication then that he may destroy
the photos, if he had not done so already.
16. Because of Respondent's threats to destroy property and his
refusal to enter into an agreement to protect the property, Petitioner
believes that the entry of an Order to prevent Respondent from
destroying, selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of all marital
property in his possession is the only way to protect the estate
pending equitable distribution.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests your Honorable Court to enter an
Order on an emergency basis to prevent either party from destroying,
selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of all marital property in his or
her possession.
