APPEAL OF COURT ORDER
DATE OF ORDER: December 4, 2002.
AMOUNT OF ORDER: $1,562.00 per month as alimony pendente lite, effective
September 26, 2002.
DATE OF APPEAL: December 12, 2002
REASONS FOR APPEAL:
1. The conference officer erred in failing to include as part of Defendant's
income an average of his distributive share of the net income of the
corporation in which he is an owner for the last 3 years, as reflected on the K-1
forms issued to him by the corporation.
2. Defendant's net income was improperly calculated by failing to use the
appropriate number of exemptions for Defendant and by assuming a standard
deduction instead of the much greater itemized deductions reflected on his tax
return.
3. The arrears through December 2, 2002, were improperly calculated by
offsetting the Plaintiff's child support obligation against the amount of the
alimony pendente lite awarded to her for the entire period from the September
26, 2002, effective date of the alimony ep nde'nte lite Order, instead of
offsetting the child support obligation only from the date of the Defendant's
filing of his Complaint for child support on November 26, 2002.
4. The incorrect amount was used for calculation of the allocation of the cost of
medical insurance for the family. The amount paid by the corporation for
medical insurance was not included as income to Defendant in calculating his
income.
5. The conference officer erred in not requiring Defendant to pay the appropriate
pro rata portion of Plaintiff's unreimbursed medical expenses.
6. The Defendant should have been required to pay Plaintiff a portion of the
gross amount of any bonuses received equal to the percentage of his gross
monthly income that the basic alimony en nderite lite obligation represents,
rather than the net amount of such bonuses.

PETITION FOR INTERIM EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION OF MARITAL RESIDENCE
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Charles T. Russell, by and through his attorney, Maria P.
Cognetti, Esquire, and files the following Petition for Interim Exclusive Possession of Marital
Residence and in support thereof avers as follows:
Petitioner is Charles T. Russell, who currently resides at 301 Harmony Drive,
Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (the "marital residence").
2. Respondent is Stacie L. Russell, who currently resides at 4196 Nantucket Drive,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. Respondent and Petitioner were married on May 5, 1984 in Boiling Springs,
Pennsylvania, and separated in February, 2002.
4. The parties are owners, as tenants by the entities, of the real estate situated at 301
Harmony Lane, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
\\Ntsb\family law\Client Directory\Russell, C\pleadings\Petition for Interim Exclusive Possession.wpd February 26, 2003
5. The parties are the natural parents of two (2) children, namely, Christopher Steven
Russell, age 18, and Quinn Patrick Russell, age 12.
6. The children currently reside in the marital residence with Petitioner. However,
Christopher is away at college during the school year.
7. The marital residence has been the home of the children since approximately
2002, and the home of Petitioner and the children since the parties' separation.
8. Respondent has engaged in a course of wrongful conduct which has created an
intolerable living situation for Petitioner and the parties' children. Such conduct includes the
following:
(a) On or about February 3, 2003, Respondent showed up at the marital residence in a
distressed state of mind. Petitioner was forced to call the police: to intervene. Petitioner asked
the police to stall Respondent long enough for him to call her family and ask them to intercede.
As a result of the incident, Respondent's family convinced Respondent to voluntarily admit
herself to the mental health facility at Holy Spirit Hospital.
(b) In the months since the parties' separation, Respondent has arrived at the marital
residence unannounced on several other occasions at which time she has proceeded to verbally
and mentally abuse and harass Petitioner and the parties' children. This conduct is very
distressing to both Petitioner and the parties' children.
9. Petitioner believes and therefore avers, that unless Respondent seeks help, her
harassing and malicious conduct will continue.
\\Ntsb\family law\Client Directory\Russell, C\pleadings\Petition for Interim Exclusive Possession.wpd February 26, 2003
10. Section 3502(c) of the Divorce Code states that with regard to equitable
distribution of the family home "[t]he court may award, during the pendency of the action or
otherwise, to one or both of the parties the right to reside in the marital residence."
11 Section 3323(f) of the Divorce Code states that:
In all matrimonial causes, the court shall have full equity power
and jurisdiction and may issue injunctions or other orders which
are necessary to protect the interests of the parties or to effectuate
the purposes of this part and may grant such other relief or remedy
as equity and justice require against either party or against any third
person over whom the court has jurisdiction and who is involved in
or concerned with the disposition of the cause.
12. Petitioner believes, and therefore avers, that granting him the exclusive right to
reside in the marital residence will effectuate the purpose of the Divorce Code.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court grant him interim exclusive
possession of the marital residence until the conclusion of the divorce proceedings.

PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the court to modify a temporary order of court it entered in March of 2003 and to
grant her reasonable periods of temporary custody with her minor child, based upon the
following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Plaintiff. The Respondent herein is the Defendant.
2. The parties are the parents of one minor child, Quinn Patrick Russell, born 22 March
1990.
3. The parties have been separated for a period of more than three years and, in March
of 2003, this court entered a temporary order which granted both legal and primary physical
custody of the child to the Defendant and which granted Plaintiff limited periods of visitation
supervised by the Harrisburg branch of the YWCA.
4. The temporary order entered in March of 2003 was entered, in substantial part,
because of Plaintiff's mental condition at the time. Since that time, Plaintiff believes she has
substantially recovered from the problems she was experiencing in 2003 and is now better able
to care for and have periods of temporary custody of her minor son.
5. The parties followed the terms of the temporary order for several months after it
was entered but gradually increased Plaintiff's periods of temporary custody until, by early
2006, she had unsupervised periods which included alternating weekends and several periods
Iof time during week days. That all changed, however, in April of 2006 when the Defendant
refused to allow Plaintiff to have further contact with the child.
6. Plaintiff has now had no contact with the child for several weeks, in person or by
7. Plaintiff believes it will be in the best interest of her minor son for her to have
ods of temporary custody so that she may maintain and strengthen her relationship with
son.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this court to modify its temporary order entered in March
2003, to award her shared legal custody of her son Quinn Patrick Russell and to grant her a
ksonable schedule of temporary custody of the child.

MODIFY CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Charles T. Russell, by and through his attorney, Maria P.
Cognetti, Esquire, and files the following Answer to Petition for Modification of Custody Order
and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted and denied. It is admitted that the Temporary Order was entered due to
Plaintiff's mental condition. It is denied that Plaintiff has substantially recovered from said
condition.
5. Admitted with clarification. It is admitted that Defendant allowed Plaintiff's
periods of custody to increase until Plaintiff ceased taking her medication. After Plaintiff ceased

IAClient Directory\Russell, OpleadingsTustody PleadingsWnswer to Petition for Modification.wpd July 7, 2006
taking her medication for her mental illness, it was made clear between counsel for the parties, at
the time of the meeting regarding the Divorce action, that all visits would be discontinued for the
foreseeable future.
6. Admitted; however, by way of further answer, as stated above, it was understood
between counsel that all visits would cease between the child and Plaintiff. In addition, Defendant
has not prevented Plaintiff from having telephone contact with the child, but Plaintiff has made no
effort to contact the child.
7. Denied. The best interests of the child will be served by Plaintiff receiving
treatment for her mental instability and becoming committed to remaining on her medication and to
her own stability. Until such time as Plaintiff becomes committed to staying on her medication, the
best interests of the child will be served by the Plaintiff having no contact with the child.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny Plaintiff's
requested relief.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON
PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND
COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
NO. 02-2441 CIVIL TERM
IN CUSTODY
PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR PSYCHIATRIC EXAMINATION
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the court for an independent psychiatric examination, based upon the following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Plaintiff and the Respondent herein is the Defendant.
2. This action involves Plaintiff's request for a divorce, the equitable distribution of
marital property, alimony and alimony pendente lite, counsel fees and expenses, and
custody of the parties' children.
3. Plaintiff has previously been hospitalized and treated for psychiatric and related
problems. Plaintiff believes that she has recovered from those problems and is now fully
competent.
4. Defendant, in statements made recently to Plaintiff has accused Plaintiff or being
mentally ill and "crazy."
5. This court has previously entered orders which restricted Plaintiff's physical
custody of the parties' youngest child, Quinn Patrick Russell, born 22 March 1990, on the
basis of Plaintiff's psychiatric history and claims by the Defendant that she is incompetent,
unstable, and not otherwise capable of caring properly for the child. Over the past two
years, however, the parties have gradually modified their custody arrangements by
agreement and, until several months ago, Plaintiff enjoyed overnight periods of custody with
Quinn.
6. Starting approximately three months ago, Defendant has denied Plaintiff her
periods of temporary custody with the child, including overnight periods of temporary
custody, claiming that Plaintiff's psychiatric condition prevents her from properly caring for
the child.
7. Plaintiff's mental condition and her mental competence are a critical issue to be
decided in this case, both in regard to custody of the parties' minor child Quinn and in
regard to the other claims raised in the divorce action. Defendant, by his conduct, has
placed Plaintiff's mental condition in question in the case.
8. Plaintiff is unemployed and does not have any income other than the alimony
pendente lite paid to her by Defendant. The payments she receives are inadequate for her to
meet her reasonable living expenses and engage the services of a psychiatrist to conduct an
examination of her and certify to the court her mental competence at this time. There are,
however, other sources of funds reasonably available to pay for such examination and those
sources include:
A. Defendant's annual income, which substantially exceeds
$100,000.00.
B. Marital assets, including funds held in financial institutions, which
Plaintiff believes exceeds $50,000.00.
9. Without a psychiatric exam to evaluate and clearly establish Plaintiff's mental
condition and competence, this case cannot proceed properly and Plaintiff will be seriously
prejudiced.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this court to decree as follows:
A. Appoint an independent psychiatrist to conduct an independent
examination of Plaintiff and her mental condition, particularly her competence
to actively and effectively participate in this litigation and her ability to care
properly for her minor child; and
B. Direct the psychiatrist to issue a written report of his findings and
any recommendations he makes to this court, with a copy to Plaintiff's
attorney; and
C. Direct the Defendant to pay the cost of such psychiatric examination or, in
the alternative, direct the parties to pay the cost of such psychiatric examination from
one of the marital assets; and
D. Take such other action as the court deems appropriate, fair, and
equitable.

IN CUSTODY
ANSWER AND NEW MATTER TO PETITION FOR PSYCHIATRIC EXAMINATION
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Charles T. Russell, by and through his attorney, Maria P.
Cognetti, Esquire, and files the following Answer and New Matter to Petition for Psychiatric
Examination and in support thereof avers as follows:
Admitted.
2. Admitted.
Admitted and denied. It is admitted that Plaintiff has previously been hospitalized
and treated for psychiatric problems. It is denied that she has recovered from her problems and is
fully competent.
4. Denied. It is denied that Defendant has ever referred to Plaintiff as "crazy."
Defendant has expressed his concern over Plaintiff's mental illness and her unwillingness to
follow a treatment program and to remain on her prescribed medication.
5. Admitted with clarification. It is admitted that Defendant allowed Plaintiff's
periods of custody to increase while she was receiving treatment and on her medication; however,
Plaintiff ceased taking her medication and again became increasingly unstable.
6. Admitted. It is admitted that, after Plaintiff ceased taking her medication for her
mental illness, Defendant discontinued visits when it became clear that Plaintiff was not capable
of caring for the child.
7. Admitted with clarification. It is admitted that Plaintiff's mental competence is an
important factor in regard to the custody of the minor child. With regard to the claims raised in the
divorce action and the effect that Plaintiff's mental competence have on them, Plaintiff s position
is entirely inconsistent. On the one hand, Plaintiff alleges, in the present Petition, that she is
recovered from her previous mental problems and is capable of caring for her child. On the other
hand, counsel for Plaintiff has stated in correspondence to the Court as recently as August 8, 2006,
that Plaintiff may be incompetent to manage her affairs and to proceed with the divorce. In this
respect, it is Plaintiff who has put the issue of her mental competence in question before the Court,
and Plaintiff who should be responsible for obtaining an evaluation, if she so desires.
8. Admitted and denied. It is admitted that Plaintiff is unemployed. It is denied that
Plaintiff is unable to meet her reasonable needs and also engage the services of a psychiatrist.
Plaintiff's argument that she is unable to meet her needs due to her unemployment is simply untrue.
If Plaintiff were, indeed, fully competent and capable of caring for the minor child she would also
be capable of finding and holding down a job. Plaintiff receives a sizable amount of monthly
support from Defendant. If she were able to work full time she would have the ability to meet her
needs and also pay for her own evaluation. In reality, Plaintiff is incapable of holding a job due to
her mental illness and her decision to discontinue her treatment and medication. Further, while
Defendant does have an annual income of over $100,000 he does not make substantially more than
$100,000, and, in fact, makes approximately $108,000. In addition, there are currently no marital
funds being held in financial institutions that exceed $50,000. Plaintiff's contention that Defendant
has the ability to pay for her evaluation while also paying substantial amounts of spousal support,
is a simply wishful thinking. Defendant should not be forced to be responsible for the cost of
Plaintiff's psychiatric evaluation when it is Plaintiffs actions that have placed her in her current
situation.
9. Admitted; however, by way of further answer, any prejudice to Plaintiff is not the
result of Defendant's actions. The need for a psychiatric exam is the result of Plaintiffs own
actions.
NEW MATTER
10. Plaintiff asserts, in the "Wherefore" clause of her Petition, and again in her
proposed order, that the requested psychiatric evaluation be divulged only to counsel for Plaintiff.
11. The requests made in Plaintiffs Petition go directly to the issue of Plaintiff s
ability to care for the minor child. For this reason, it is incomprehensible that Plaintiff would
suggest that any evaluation done of Plaintiff be shared only with Plaintiffs counsel and not with
Defendant and his counsel.
12. Further, Plaintiff s counsel has simultaneously asserted Plaintiff s mental health
under the custody action while asserting her incompetence under the divorce action, yet has raised
the issue of an evaluation only under the custody caption.
13. Given that the issue of Plaintiff s competence effects both the divorce and custody
actions, the request for an evaluation should be placed under both the divorce and custody
captions.
14. As the requested psychiatric evaluation is for the good of Plaintiff, the
responsibility to pay for said evaluation should be hers.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court:
a. Deny Plaintiff's request that Defendant be responsible for the cost of
her psychiatric evaluation.
b. Deny Plaintiff's request to withhold the results of any such evaluation from
Defendant.

IN DIVORCE
PETITION FOR ADVANCED DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL ASSETS
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the court for an advance, partial, distribution of the marital assets in this matter, all
based upon the following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Plaintiff. The Respondent herein is the Defendant.
2. The parties in this matter separated in early 2002 and have, therefore, been
separated for almost six years. This action was commenced in 2002.
3. Plaintiff is unemployed and has been substantially unemployed ever since the
parties' separation. She suffers from medical conditions which limit her ability to hold full
time employment.
4. Defendant is self-employed in a business which he owns with a partner and from
which he derives income which, typically, exceeds $100,000.00 per year. Although
Defendant is responsible to provide support for the parties' one minor child, and pays
alimony pendente lite to Plaintiff in the amount of approximately $1,600.00 per month,
neither of those expenses create a serious burden on Defendant's income.
5. The marital assets in the case include the following:
A. A residence at 301 Harmony Lane in Camp Hill in which Plaintiff
estimates the parties have equity of approximately $150,000.00.
B. Defendant's 50% ownership in Collective Intelligence, Inc., which
the parties have tentatively agreed has a value of $50,000.00.
C. Two individual retirement accounts in Defendant's name alone
which have a value of approximately $45,000.00.
D. Investment accounts with Merrill Lynch and with CSFB Direct, in
Defendant's name alone, which had a value at the time of separation or a value
now in excess of $50,000.00.
s ,
r
6. Plaintiff has recently suffered severe financial problems and is no longer able to
live on the alimony pendente lite she receives from Defendant and still meet her financial
obligations. Those problems have included:
A. Plaintiff's vehicle is old and no longer reliable. As a result of
mechanical problems, the vehicle is no longer operable. Plaintiff has been
advised that the cost of repairs to the vehicle will exceed $1,500.00.
B. Plaintiff has been unable to pay her telephone bill and, as a result, no
longer has use of a telephone.
C. Plaintiff has not been able to pay her attorney or to pay other costs
incurred or which may be incurred in the litigation of this case.
D. Defendant has recently denied Plaintiff periods of temporary custody
with the parties' minor child and, as a result, Plaintiff has and will incur
substantial fees and expenses in an effort to enforce her rights to see the child.
Plaintiff is without funds- or other assets with which to meet these financial obligations or
address these financial problems.
7. All of the marital assets of the parties are within the control and possession of
Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this court to order an advanced distribution of marital
property, to her, in the amount of $25,000.00 or more to allow her to meet her financial
obligations.

PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO DEFENDANT'S NEW MATTER
TO PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR PSYCHIATRIC EXAMINATION
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
makes the following Reply to Defendant's New Matter:
10. Admitted.
11. Denied. If the psychiatric report concludes that Plaintiff is not impaired to the point
that she cannot properly care for her child, it will be in her interests to disclose the results of the
report. If the psychiatric report concludes otherwise, the Defendant is free to ask the Court to
make the results known and the Court is free to review the report itself or make them known to
Defendant.
12. Denied. It is Defendant who has asserted that Plaintiff's mental condition impairs
her from caring for her child while apparently claiming, inconsistently, that she is perfectly
competent to handle the issues raised in the divorce case. Plaintiff only seeks to put these issues
to rest.
13. Admitted. However, the custody and divorce actions are one and the same, all
matters in this case having been filed in one consolidated divorce action, all to the same term and
number. Accordingly, the results of the psychiatric examination will be equally available to the
Court in both the divorce and custody portions of this action.
14. Denied. The psychiatric evaluation is, primarily, for the benefit of both parties and
their minor child. Moreover, Defendant has possession and control of all of the significant marital
assets and enjoys virtually all of the income available to the parties. Finally, Defendant is the
party who has raised an accusation that Plaintiff is mentally unfit to have even brief periods of
temporary custody with the parties' child. In light of those facts, it is only appropriate that all of
the costs of the psychiatric examination be borne by the Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff asks this Court to grant the relief requested in her original
petition and to direct the Defendant to advance the funds necessary to have the psychiatric
examination conducted.

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE INITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Quinn Patrick Russell March 22, 1990 Father
2. Mother filed a. Petition to Modify the Custody Order on or about June 28, 2006.
A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on November 3, 2006. The date had been
postponed by concurrence of counsel. Attending the conference were: the Mother, Stacie
L. Russell, and her counsel, Samuel L. Andes, Esquire; the Father, Charles T. Russell, and
his counsel, Maria P. Cognetti, Esquire.
3. Mother's position on custody is that she is seeking to return to what she claims
had been the status quo from January to April of 2006 during which time she reports that
she had custody of Quinn on alternating weekends and some weekdays until Father cutoff
contact sometime in April of 2006. The last Order in this matter was entered in March of
2003 at which time Father had primary custody and Mother's contact was supervised
contact. Through counsel, Mother disputes the need for supervision at this time.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father is willing to consent to
shorter periods of partial custody which would be supervised with a competent adult
present. However, Father is concerned that the child suffers emotionally from contact with
Mother. There has been no allegation of physical harm. Mother apparently has a history of
psychiatric illness which historically has required the use of medication. However, for
sometime now, she has not been taking medication. Father's request for supervision
included the suggestion of using Mother's relatives as possible resources to facilitate the
contact between the parties' child and Mother.
NO. 02-2441 CIVIL TERM
5. Currently pending in this matter is a Petition for Psychiatric Evaluation of
Mother which has not yet been resolved. The issues resolved in this regard are the source
of the payment for the evaluation and whether or not the report from an evaluation would be
disclosed to Father and his attorney.
6. Pending hearing on Mother's request for unsupervised periods of partial
custody, the parties were able to reach an agreement for Mother to have supervised contact
with Quinn by a mutually acceptable adult. Mother's counsel has been given the name of a
friend of Mothers proposed to serve in this capacity. Additionally, the parties have agreed to
contact the Harrisburg YVA'CA visitation program and have agreed that Quinn could have
dinner with Mother on Wednesday nights at 6:00 p.m. Because the parties are in need of
hearing, the attached Order also provides for a brief hearing to occur on that request.

RESPONDENT'S ANSWER TO PETITION FOR
ADVANCED DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL ASSETS
AND NOW, comes Respondent, Charles T. Russell, by and through his attorney, Maria P.
Cognetti, Esquire, with this Answer to Petition for Advanced Distribution of Marital Assets and in
support thereof, respectfully represents as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted and denied. It is admitted that the parties separated in early 2002. It is
denied that they have been separated for almost six (6) years.
3. Denied. It is denied that Petitioner has been unemployed since the parties'
separation. Petitioner has held various jobs since the parties' separation. It is further denied that
Petitioner is unable to work due to her medical conditions. The issue of whether Petitioner is able
to work, care for her child, or assist her attorney is unresolved. Petitioner has claimed, in the
parties' custody action, that she is substantially recovered and able to care for the parties' child,
while simultaneously claiming that she is unable to work or assist her attorney in this divorce.
4. Admitted and denied. It is admitted that Respondent is self-employed and has an
income of approximately $100,000.00 per year. It is denied that the support paid by Respondent is
not a burden on his income.
5. Respondent answers the specific allegations set forth in paragraph five (5) of
Petitioner's Petition as follows:
A. Admitted.
B. Admitted.
C. Admitted.
D. Admitted.
6. Respondent answers the specific allegations set forth in paragraph six (6) of
Petitioner's Petition as follows:
A. Respondent is without the knowledge or information required to respond to
the veracity of Petitioner's averments as to the condition of her vehicle.
B. Respondent is without the knowledge or information required to respond to
the veracity of Petitioner's averments regarding her inability to meet her financial needs.
However, by way of further answer, Petitioner receives a substantial amount of support that should
be more than adequate in meeting her financial needs.
C. Respondent is without the knowledge or information required to respond to
the veracity of Petitioner's averments as to her ability to pay her attorney or other costs.
D. Denied. It is denied that Respondent's actions will result in substantial fees
and expenses to Petitioner. By way of further answer, it is inappropriate for Petitioner to be
seeking counsel fees in the Divorce action for expenses that may occur in the Custody action.
7. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny Petitioner's
requested relief.
