LISA M. CUMMINGS, Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA vs. CIVIL ACTION - LAW NO. 01 - 5531 CIVIL JOEL E. CUMMINGS, Defendant IN DIVORCE MASTER'S REPORT Proceedings held before E. Robert Elicker, II, Divorce Master 9 North Hanover Street, Carlisle, PA 17013 proceedings held on December 16, 2004, commencing at 9:00 a.m. APPEARANCES: Anthony T. McBeth Attorney for Plaintiff Joel E. Cummings (Pro Se - Testified by phone) Defendant '"'"' (Remarks placed on the record before testimony of the parties.) THE MASTER: Today is Thursday, December 16, 2004. This is the date set for a hearing to take testimony on the question of whether or not the marriage between Lisa M. Cummings and Joel E. Cummings is irretrievably broken. Present in the hearing room are the Plaintiff, Lisa M. Cummings, and her counsel Anthony T. McBeth. Also present by telephone is the Defendant, Joel E. Cummings, and his prison counselor Mr. Hughes who is not an attorney. This action was commenced by the filing of a complaint in divorce on October 17, 2001, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Also, the Plaintiff, Lisa M. Cummings, filed an affidavit under Section 3301(d) averring that the parties separated on June 13, 2001. This affidavit was filed on November 5, 2003, averring a period of separation in excess of two years. The Defendant, Mr. Cummings filed a counter-affidavit with the Court on January 14, 2004, averring that the marriage is not irretrievably broken. Neither party has filed any claims raising economic issues; therefore, we are, today, going to deal with the question of whether or not the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken. If we find that the 1 marriage is broken, then the Master will recommend to the Court that a divorce decree be entered under Section 3301(d) of the Domestic Relations Code. The parties were married on April 10, 1999, and separated June 13, 2001. They are the natural parents of two children, both children being in the custody of wife. Wife resides at 7043 Carlisle Pike, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Husband is an inmate in the State Correctional Institution in Hunlock Creek, Pennsylvania. His address is as follows: Joel E. Cummings, Inmate # FK9107, SCI Retreat, 660 State Route 11, Hunlock Creek, Pennsylvania 18621-3136. We are going to begin the testimony today with the Plaintiff. Mr. Cummings will be permitted to cross-examine his wife and then can offer testimony on his own behalf. The testimony, as previously noted, will be restricted to the issue of whether or not the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken. (Remarks placed on the record following testimony of the parties.) THE MASTER: The above comments were made by the Master on the record preliminary to taking the testimony of the parties. The Master wants to amplify those comments with the following statements. The Master was appointed on July 6, 2004. In 2 an effort to resolve this case without the necessity of having a hearing, the Master had a conference with wife's attorney and the parties, with husband by telephone, on October 5, 2004. Mr. Cummings has consistently declined to sign an affidavit of consent and waiver of notice of intention to request entry of divorce decree. Therefore, we were compelled to convene a hearing tc take testimony on the issue of whether the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken. The Master is aware that husband has been incarcerated since March 2003 and his sentence will terminate in March 2006. His incarceration has not been for a period of two years. However, we are proceeding today on the issue of whether or not the marriage is viable and can be reconciled. Wife testified that she last saw husband around Christmas 2002 and she communicated to him that she wanted to proceed with the divorce and had no interest in continuing with the marital relationship. Wife has testified that she wishes to move on with her life. She has a male friend with whom she wishes to marry and to help raise the two children of this marriage. Wife indicated that she has no interest in reconciling this marriage and that there is no love on her part for the Defendant and that the marriage, therefore, is 3 not in any way reconcilable. Husband testified but his remarks were somewhat incoherent in the sense that he indicated that the parties have been through a lot; that he knows that there is love and that he holds out love and morals in their relationship. He did not specifically indicate any other reasons why he thought the marriage could be reconciled or that the parties would be able to resume a marital relationship. Based on the testimony of the parties and the circumstances of their current relationship, the Master makes the following recommendation. RECOMMENDATION The Master finds that the parties have been separated for a period in excess of two years, since June 13, 2001. Based on the testimony of the parties, the Master finds that the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken and that wife is entitled to a divorce decree under Section 3301(d) of the Domestic Relations Code.
