separated on or about October 31, 2005; and
WHEREAS, diverse, unhappy differences, disputes and difficulties have arisen between
the parties and it is the intention of HUSBAND and WIFE to live separate and apart for the rest
of their natural lives, and the parties hereto are desirous of settling fully and finally their
respective financial and property rights and obligations as between each other, including, but not
limited to the settling of all matters between them relating to the ownership and equitable
distribution of real and personal property, the settling of all claims and possible claims by one
against the other or against their respective estates, and the equitable distribution of property and
alimony for each party.
The parties hereto agree and covenant as follows:
1.
The parties intend to maintain separate and permanent domiciles and to live apart from
each other. It is the intent and purpose of this Agreement to set forth the respective rights and
duties of the parties while they continue to live apart from each other.
2.
The parties have attempted to divide their matrimonial property in a manner which
conforms to a just and right standard, with due regard to the rights of each party. It is the intent
of the parties that such division shall be final and shall forever determine their respective rights.

assigns. The parties have attempted to divide their Marital Property in a manner that conforms to
a just and fair standard, with due regard to the rights of each party. The division of existing

under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code relating to spousal support or alimony.
