IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
vs.
NO.
02- 2244 CIVIL
FRANKIE CURTIS CLAYTON,
Defendant IN DIVORCE
THE MASTER: Today is the date set for a
conference in the above captioned divorce proceedings.
Present are the Plaintiff, Deborah Lee Clayton, and her
counsel Theresa Barrett Male, and the Defendant, Frankie
Curtis Clayton, and his counsel Michael S. Travis.
This action was commenced by the filing of a
complaint in divorce on May 7, 2002. An amended complaint
was filed on September 12, 2002, raising claims for alimony,
alimony pendente lite and counsel fees and costs.
On August 27, 2003, pursuant to a request for
bifurcation, the Court entered a decree in divorce
preserving the economic claims raised in the action.
The parties were married on September 10,
1983, and separated May 1, 2002.
We have had a conference today in order to
resolve the preserved economic claims in the action and
after negotiations the Master has been advised that the
parties have reached an agreement with respect to the
outstanding economic issues.
It is the Master's
understanding that the claims for alimony and counsel fees
and costs will be withdrawn and that we will be specifically
1
dealing in the agreement with the equitable distribution
claim and allocation of marital debt.
An agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties. The agreement as
placed on the record will be considered the substantive
agreement of the parties not subject to any changes or
modifications except for correction of typographical errors.
After the agreement has been reviewed for typographical
errors and any corrections necessary having been made, the
parties will be asked to affix their signatures to the
agreement affirming the terms of settlement as stated on the
record.
In any event, when the parties leave the hearing
room today, they are bound by the te~ms of settlement as
stated on the record even though the agreement may
subsequently not be signed by the pa~ties affirming the
terms of settlement.
Following the receipt by the Master of a
completed agreement, he will prepare an order vacating his
appointment. The vacation of the Master's appointment
should conclude all outstanding matters in this case
inasmuch as the parties previously were divorced as noted.
Ms. Male.
MS. MALE:
I .
plan
this
During the marriage wife acquired a defined benefit
with the state of Alaska. The parties have agreed that
asset will be allocated 55% to wife and 45% to husband.
2
Specifically those percentages will apply to the monthly
annuity which will be payable to wife upon her retirement.
Husband's portion will be calculated under a separate
interest approach if that is acceptable to the plan
administrator. Otherwise, there will be a survivor benefit
plan implemented in order to protect~usband's award. Harry
Leister will be retained by the wife ~o prepare the Domestic
Relations Order which we will submit to husband's counsel
for review prior to the parties' execution of the order and
its submission to the Court.
2. The parties will divide equally an American Funds IRA,
No. 63744741 which is titled in husband's name. The parties
intend to effect this by a rollover without tax consequence
to either party. If, however, a QDRO is necessary to
implement the award, husband will be responsible for
preparing that QDRO.
3. The parties anticipate that the rollover of the IRA
and the Domestic Relations Order allocating the portion of
the Alaska pension will be completed w:thin 60 days of
today's date.
4. In full and final settlement of the marital debts which
were identified in this proceeding, husband will pay to wife
the sum of $7,542.00. The payment is due on or before
January 9, 2005. In addition, husband will pay wife $132.00
per month for October, November, December, and January for
four months which is an additional $528.00 to help offset
wife's payment on the Choice Visa card. That would bring
the total due on January 9th to $8,070.00. If, however,
husband pays the monthly payments prior to January 9th then
he will be entitled to subtract the $132.00 for each month
prior to that date.
Wife represents and warrants to husband that the
Choice Visa card is in wife's name alone and that husband
has no responsibility for that debt and wife will indemnify
and hold husband harmless from any efforts by the creditor
to enforce that debt against husband. The payment
referenced in this provision, namely, the $7,542.00 plus the
$132.00 per month payments shall be made payable in a check
to wife for that amount.
Husband also represents and warrants to wife that
she is not obligated on any credit cards including the Home
Depot, the Citi Financial and the Tires Plus credit cards
which also were taken out during the course of the marriage,
and husband will indemnify and hold wife harmless from any
efforts by those creditors to collect those debts against
3
wife.
If husband fails to make the cash payment to wife
within the time period specified, that is, by January 9,
2005, the nonpayment will constitute grounds for wife to
petition the Court for modification of the Domestic
Relations Order dividing the Alaska defined benefit plan.
5. There is camping equipment including a tent at the
former marital residence at 606 4th Street in New Cumberland
and wife agrees that husband can retrieve that property.
With the exception of those items, all personal property in
wife's possession will remain her sole and separate property
and all personal property which husband may have removed
from the home will remain his sole and separate property.
6. Wife waives her claims to alimony, alimony pendente
lite, and counsel fees and expenses.
MR. TRAVIS:
Wife's counsel will pay the costs for Harry
Leister to prepare the QDRO.
MS. MALE: Okay. Ms. Clayton, were you
present during the recitation of the settlement terms?
MS. CLAYTON: Yes.
MS. MALE: Do you understand the terms as
I've stated them on the record?
MS. CLAYTON: Yes, I do.
MS. MALE: Do you agree with the terms?
MS. CLAYTON: Yes, I do.
MS. MALE: Do you have any questions about
any of the terms that we have put on the record today?
MS. CLAYTON: No.
MR. TRAVIS: Mr. Clayton, have you been
4
present during the reading of the terms of this agreement?
MR. CLAYTON: Yes.
MR. TRAVIS: Do you understand the terms of
this agreement?
MR. CLAYTON: Yes, I do.
MR. TRAVIS: Do you agree to the terms of
this agreement?
MR. CLAYTON: Yes, I do.
MR. TRAVIS: Do you have any questions
regarding any of these terms?
MR. CLAYTON: No, I do not.
MR. TRAVIS: Do you understand that this will
be a binding agreement from the time we leave this
conference today?
MR. CLAYTON: Yes.
I acknowledge that I have read the above
stipulation and agreement, that I understand the terms of
settlement as set forth herein, and that by signing below I
ratify and affirm the agreement previoLsly made and intend
to bind myself to the settlement as a contract obligating
myself to the terms of settlement and subjecting myself to
5
the methods and procedures of enforcement which may be
imposed by law and in particular Section 3105 of the
Domestic Relations Code.
