- 3 -
7. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL PROPERTY:
The parties have attempted to distribute their marital property in a
manner which conforms to the criteria set forth in 23 Pa.C.S.A. Section 3501 et. seq., and
taking into account the following considerations: the length of the marriage; the fact that it
is the second marriage for both Husband and Wife (having been previously married to
each other), the age, health, station, amount and sources of income, vocational skills,
employability, estate, liabilities and needs of each of the parties; the contribution of each
party to the education, training or increased earning power of the other party; the
opportunity of each party for future acquisitions of capital assets and income; the sources
of income of both parties, including but not limited to medical, retirement, insurance or
other benefits; the contribution or dissipation of each party in the acquisition, preservation,
depreciation or appreciation of the marital property, including the contribution of each
spouse as a homemaker; the value of the property set apart to each party; the standard
of living of the parties established during the marriage; and the economic circumstances
of each party at the time the division of property is to become effective.
The division of existing marital property is not intended by the parties
to constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets, and the division is being effected
without the introduction of outside funds or other property not constituting marital
property. The division of property under this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all
marital rights of the parties.
A. DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY:
Except as may be otherwise provided herein, the parties hereto
mutually agree that they have effected a satisfactory division of the furniture, household
furnishings, appliances, and other household personal property between them, and they
mutually agree that each party shall from and after the date hereof be the sole and
separate owner of all such tangible personal property presently in his or her possession,
and this Agreement shall have the effect of an assignment or bill of sale from each party
to the other for such property as may be in the individual possession of each of the
parties hereto.
Wife's antique hoosier is presently being stored by Husband's
mother. Said antique shall be Wife's sole property and she shall retrieve same within
thirty (30) days of the signing of this Agreement.
The parties hereto have divided between themselves, to their mutual
satisfaction, all items of tangible and intangible marital property. Neither party shall make
any claim to any such items of marital property, or of the separate personal property of
either party, which are now in the possession and/or under the control of the other.
Should it become necessary, the parties each agree to sign, upon request, any titles or
- 4 -
documents necessary to give effect to this paragraph. Property shall be deemed to be in
the possession or under the control of either party if, in the case of tangible personal
property, the item is physically in the possession or control of the party at the time of the
signing of this Agreement and, in the case of intangible personal property, if any physical
or written evidence of ownership, such as passbook, checkbook, policy or certificate of
insurance or other similar writing is in the possession or control of the party. Except as
may be otherwise provided herein, Husband and Wife shall each be deemed to be in the
possession and control of his or her own individual pension or other employee benefit
plans or retirement benefits of any nature with the exception of Social Security benefits to
which either party may have a vested or contingent right or interest at the time of the
signing of this Agreement, and neither will make any claim against the other for any
interest in such benefits.
From and after the date of the signing of this Agreement, both
parties shall have complete freedom of disposition as to his/her separate property and
any property which is in their possession or control pursuant to this Agreement and may
mortgage, sell, grant, convey, or otherwise encumber or dispose of such property,
whether real or personal, whether such property was acquired before, during or after
marriage, and neither Husband nor Wife need join in, consent to, or acknowledge any
deed, mortgage, or other instrument of the other pertaining to such disposition of
property.
B. DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL RESIDENCE:
The parties acknowledge that Husband is the titled owner of a 2000
mobile home (the "Marital Residence") currently situate in Hampden Township,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, subject to the lien given to TD Bank North. Wife
hereby waives any and all rights she may have to said mobile home. Husband agrees to
be solely responsible for the payment of all future loan payments, insurance and other
expenses associated with the mobile home and covenants and agrees to pay and
discharge the existing loan obligation on said mobile home in accordance with its terms,
and agrees to indemnify Wife from any loss by reason of her default in the payment
thereof and agrees to save Wife harmless from any future liability with regard thereto.
C. TAX LIABILITY:
The parties believe and agree that the division of property heretofore
made by this Agreement is a non-taxable division of property between co-owners rather
than a taxable sale or exchange of such property. Each party promises not to take any
position with respect to the adjusted basis of the property assigned to him or her or with
respect to any other issue which is inconsistent with the position set forth in the preceding
sentence on his or her Federal or State income tax returns.
- 5 -
8. MOTOR VEHICLES:
With respect to the motor vehicles owned by one or both of the
parties, they agree as follows:
(a) the 2003 Dodge Durango which was titled jointly by the
parties was subject to a joint lien held by Sovereign Bank. Said vehicle was repossessed
by Sovereign Bank after date of separation. Husband's share of said lien was discharged
as noted above in Paragraph 5. It is agreed by the parties that Wife's share of said lien
shall remain her responsibility and is intended to be discharged in a bankruptcy action
filed or to be filed by Wife. Wife covenants and agrees to pay and/or discharge the
balance of the said lien on said vehicle and agrees to indemnify Husband from any loss
by reason of his default in the payment thereof and agrees to save Husband harmless
from any future liability with regard thereto; and
