Griffiths No. 94 - 909 civil In Divorce Dear Mr. Bratton and Mr. Jones: By order of Court of President Judge Harold E. Sheely dated August 25, 1997, the full-time Master has been appointed in the above referenced divorce proceedings. It appears as if counsel for the Plaintiff have filed the appropriate withdrawals and entries of appearance so that Mr. Bratton is the attorney of record. However, Mr. Jones has filed an appearance but Mr. Wagner has not filed a withdrawal. Mr. Wagner entered his appearance on August 23, 1994. Mr. Jones entered his appearance on July 24, 1997, but Mr. Wagner has not withdrawn his appearance. A divorce complaint was filed on February 25, 1994, raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and the economic claim of equitable distribution. An affidavit under section 3301(d) was filed by the Plaintiff on July 31, 1997, and a counter-affidavit was filed by the Defendant on August 4, 1997. The Defendant has indicated that the marriage is not irretrievably broken and that she wishes to claim economic relief. However, the only economic issue pending before the Master is the claim of equitable distribution which was raised in the complaint. In accordance with P.R.C.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing . Mr. Bratton and Mr. Jones, Attorneys at Law 2 September 1997 Page 2 each counsel to file a pre-trial statement on or before Friday, September 26, 1997. Upon receipt of the pre-trial statements I will immediately schedule a pre-hearing conference with counsel to discuss the issues and, if necessary, schedule a hearing. Very truly yours, E. Robert Elicker, II Divorce Master NOTE: Sanctions for failure to file the pre-trial statements are set forth in subdivision (c) and (d) of Rule 1920.33.

Griffiths - Divorce No. 909 Civil 1994 (Cumberland County) Dear Mr. Elicker: You have been appointed by President Judge Sheely to serve as Master in the above matter, I was recently retained by Mrs, Griffiths to serve as her counsel, replacing her prior attorney, Lee Smigel. It is evident from the correspondence in this matter that Attorney Bratton has his marching orders and is intent upon moving this case forward. However, I am constrained to state that I have just this week received !he tile from Lee Smigel's office after a protracted delay caused not by my fault or my client's, but frankly by Smigel's office inappropriately withholding the file, It is evident to me that we will have to conduct some additional discovery, since there are substantial items of marital property in play in this case, Additionally, I am certain that we will have to raise some additional issues before the Master, including alimony lInd costs, I wanted to provide the Master with all of this information now rather than to appear at a proceeding and indicate at that time that we are unable to meaningfully proceed on Mrs. Griffiths' behalf. I am attempting with all dispatch to do the necessary to prepare this case for hearing; however, I would respectfully submit that it is somewhat prematurely before the Master, and that we ought to have at least several months as additional time to complete the above noted matters, lest Mrs, Griffiths be severely prejudiced, ' ~;o A-kz+~ IA\ALC\ \~~ ?~~~ t.~.~'.-"''''''''i ' ~."

Robert Elicker, III, Esquire 9 North Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 Re: Griffiths v. Griffths Dear Bob: I have just received Mr. Jones' letter to you dated August 29, 1997 (my copy of which was unsigned) . With all due respect, of course, we disagree that this matter is not now ready for hearing before a Master or that the matter should be continued for any purpose. Contrary to Mr. Jones' position, Mrs. Griffiths had been represented by counsel throughout the entire three years that this divorce has been pending. She had engaged in a mediation process through which all of the information concerning marital assets and liabilities was shared not only with her but also.with her legal counsel. (In fact, a tentative agreement had even been reached, although Mrs, Griffiths later disavowed the agreement.) Her new attorney's plea for additional time, therefore, has a very hollow ring to it. Any difficulties between Mrs. Griffiths and her prior counsel are, frankly, irrelevant and have been the subject of proceedings within this divorce action which, we submit, indicate that the true source of problems may well have been Mrs. Griffiths herself. We are prepared to proceed, upon reasonable prior notice, with the prosecution of this case through a Master's Hearing. I am in the process of preparing a pre-hearing memorandum and I see no _, ,O',H'tiIIi.&It ,,'. ." E. Robert Elicker, III, Esquire Page Two reason why this matter should be postponed or delayed, On behalf of William Griffiths, I respectfully object to Mr, Jones' request for a postponement or continuance. Please advise when you wish to proceed with the scheduling of hearings. My office will gladly cooperate and help coordinate that heduling if you so desire. BFB/bcs cc: John E. Jones, III, Esquire . \ provided promptly upon determination of the actual testimony required. Plaintiff also reserves the right to call additional witnesses to establish the valuation of the real property owned by the parties at 64 Old Stonehouse Road, Carlisle, PA and any other real estate making up all or substantially all of the assets of any business ventures in which Plaintiff has or had an interest. 3. Witnesses' testimony, In addition to the foregoing, Plaintiff will also testify as to the agreement reached and his performance thereof as well as to the facts and circumstances of his marriage to Defendant and other matters relevant to this divorce proceeding. He will also testify to the separation of the parties in January of 1992. Plaintiff reserves the right to call additional witnesses as may be appropriate to rebut defense witnesses. 4, Exhibits. Plaintiff has not determined what exhibits may be offered into evidence at this time. Plaintiff attaches hereto a copy of the marked-up and initialed memorandum of the parties' understanding reached in November of 1996 which Plaintiff expects to offer as an exhibit to establish the terms of the parties' agreement and partial performance thereof. Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement this Statement with additional exhibits, including but not limited to, financial statements of the various businesses in which Plaintiff has or had an interest, tax returns, etc., as well as the records of the credit balance, an amount of approximately $30,000.00, to his account on a support order, DR 22,393, Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas, 5. Income. Although Plaintiff does not know Defendant's current employment earnings, Plaintiff believes that Defendant is a salaried person making no less than $40,000.00 per year. Plaintiff is a businessman whose earnings fluctuate greatly depending on market conditions, etc. His 1996 Form 1040 is attached hereto. The current year's 2 ... " .. income from business interests of Plaintiff is and is expected to be much reduced from 1996. 6. Expenses. Plaintiff does not intend at this time to offer any evidence of any extraordinary expenses, reserving the right to offer such evidence or testimony as to his businesses and his performance of the terms of the agreement reached with Defendant in 1996 as may be appropriate. 7. Pensions, etc. Plaintiff's deferred compensation/retirement fund, sometimes referred to as his "trust fund", had a value at the date of marriage of about $12,500.00 and at separation of about $13,700.00 as evidenced by the statements regarding this fund attached hereto, 8, Counsel fees, Plaintiff does not seek counsel fees, expenses, etc, 9. Tangible personal property. Plaintiff believes there are no current disputes regarding the tangible personalty of the parties. 10. Debts. Plaintiff believes that the only marital debt of significance which remains is the mortgage on the residence which is taken into account in the equity valuation accepted by the parties as $60,000.00. Plaintiff has been solely paying such mortgage (s) and all other costs of maintaining the residence since separation. 11, Proposed resolution. Plaintiff submits that the agreement reached by the parties in 1996, as evidenced by the memorandum attached hereto, constitutes a fairly reached compromise settlement of the parties' economic claims and should be enforced as such. Further, although not reduced to a more formal writing, the memorandum has been performed in all material respects by the Plaintiff, including the payment to Defendant of $52,000.00 prior to the conclusion of the settlement agreement and another 3 r'. ~ . #, $7,500,00 at the time the settlement was reached, Plaintiff also submits that the terms of the agreement are fair and equitable under all of the circumstances and represent the most efficient and economical means of concluding this divorce matter and should be adopted as the recommendation of the Master. t.yf1 Bruce F.

ASSOCIATES . - IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL ACTION -- LAW WILLIAM D. GRIFFITHS, Plaintiff NO. 909 CIVIL 1994 vs. BARBARA J. GRIFFITHS, Defendant IN DIVORCE DEFENDANT'S PRE-TRIAL STATEMENT Defendant, BARBARA J. GRIFFITHS, by and through her counsel, John E. Jones, III, Esquire, hereby renders the following Pre-Trial Statement in accordance with Pa.R.C.P. ~1920.33(b): I. FACTS: The parties hereto separated in 1994. On February 25, 1994, Plaintiff William D. Griffiths filed a divorce complaint raising the issues of divorce (both no-fault and indignities), equitable distribution, and custody. Subsequently, on July 15, 1994, Defendant filed a Motion for Leave to Take Discovery and to Compel Production of Documents, which was granted by Order of the Honorable Harold E. Sheely on July 22, 1994. Also on July 15, 1994, Defendant petitioned the Court for alimony pendente lite and counsel fees, costs and expenses. Subsequently, an Order for child support for the parties' minor daughter, Brittany J. Griffiths, who resides with Defendant, was ,.:~. _...~ entered in the amount of $188.00 per week, and Plaintiff provided an additional $262.00 in support and a.p.l. per week on a voluntary basis, for a total of $450.00. Plaintiff now appears to be reducing that amount, and Defendant's most recent check was in the amount of $116.86, Plaintiff has filed an Affidavit under 53301(d) of the Divorce Code, and Defendant has filed the requisite Counter-Affidavit under the same section. It appears that the major issues or items for the Master to determine in this case, aside from the divorce, are the valuations and distribution as a result of those valuations of the following business entities: Remco, Inc., Remco of Allentown, and Hampden Area Development. In addition, Plaintiff has occupied the former marital residence at 64 Old Stonehouse Road in Carlisle virtually since the separation of the parties in 1994, and has had exclusive enjoyment of the same. Defendant's counsel is successor counsel to Attorney Leroy Smigel, Counsel's review of the file received from Defendant's prior attorney indicates that while there had been discovery in this case, it was insufficient to allow Defendant to adequately and accurately determine the value of the marital estate. Attached hereto are letters, collectively marked as Exhibits "A", which appear to have been substantially not answered by Plaintiff. They are: ~ September 12, 1994 letter from Defendant's then-expert, David B. Shatto, to Plaintiff's CPA, requesting information; a February 28, 1997 letter from Attorney Smigel to Attorney Bratton, which also requests discovery information; and finally, a September 4, 1997 letter to Attorney Bratton from Defendant's current counsel requesting comprehensive discovery. To be sure, it appears that some of the requested discovery items were produced, mainly in the form of tax returns for selected entities for 1992 and 1993. However, it is absolutely impossible for Defendant's counsel to construct accurate valuations at present based upon the paucity of financial data with respect to Plaintiff's substantial interests in the various companies as set out above. Defendant is entitled to the requested discovery as a matter of law. II. WITNESSES: In addition to calling both parties, Defendant intends to call John Stemmler, CPA, who will testify concerning his valuation of the marital estate. Defendant reserves the right to call other fact witnesses as necessary, and with appropriate notification to Plaintiff's counsel and the Master. III. EXHIBITS: When received, Defendant will introduce as exhibits all financial documents which support her expert's valuation of the marital estate, together with any appraisal of the former marital home or any other real estate which must be valued pursuant to her expert's analysis. IV. INCOME: Defendant's income and expenses are attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "B". V. PENSION OR RETIREMENT BENEFITS: It is unknown as to whether Plaintiff possesses any pension or retirement benefits which would be subject to equitable distribution at this time. VI. COUNSEL FEES: Defendant has incurred in excess of $5,000.00 for counsel fees with her prior attorneys, and based upon the complexity of this case expects to incur amounts possibly in excess of that sum in order to litigate this case to its conclusion. An itemized .. statement for counsel fees will be presented at time of hearing. r.. ..... VII. MARITAL DEBTS: A mortgage against the former marital home is currently in existence, and Defendant is aware that Plaintiff possesses other business debts, the precise amounts of which are unknown to Defendant. VIII. PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Defendant acknowledges that Plaintiff has heretofore made distributions to her, which will be credited as advance distributions of her share of the marital estate, in the approximate amount of $59,000.00. However, as set forth above, there is simply no way that Defendant or her counsel can actively engage in either settlement negotiations or a Master's hearing on the equitable distribution aspects of this case without further and more exhaustive discovery. Plaintiff's position, as stated in prior correspondence, appears to be that Defendant is in some way estopped from engaging in further discovery or negotiations due to the fact that there was a prior non-binding submission of this matter to a divorce mediator, and that there were allegedly verbal agreements between the parties as a result. The existence of any binding verbal agreements is strictly denied by Defendant. Defendant respectfully submits to the Master that either prior or subsequent to a conference of this matter, open discovery should take place within a specified time frame in order to prepare the case for hearing, or alternatively to allow discussions to take place in meaningful fashion for the purpose of attempting an amicable settlement.

Bratton, Esquire Hartself & Bratton 2515 North Front street Harrisburg, FA 17110 Re: Griffiths v. Griffiths Dear Bruce: We have had an opportunity to review your letter of January 6, 1997 and the proposed Harriaga Settlement Agreement with Hrs. Griffiths. At this time, we are unable to advise Mrs. Griffiths as to whether or not the equitable distribution proposed in the agreement is fair since all of the assets have not been identified and \-Ie do not have any supporting documentation. Therefore, we will need the current tax returns as well as financial statements before we can assess the agreement. In the alternative, a summary ,lith ~Ihich both parties are "omfortable might also suffice. We will need to know the value of all assets as of November 19, 1994. 'l.'he documentation provided should verify the value of Romeo, Inc. as llell as Hampden Area Development and/or UML Development. The agreement does not reference Reme:o of Allentown. Please do not forget to provide documentation for that, as ~Iell as any other partnerships which have not been mentioned in the proposed agreement. Please forward this documentation as soon as possible so that we may move forward llith resolving this matter. In addition to verification of the assets, we also need verification as to your client's current salary. with this information we will be able to verify that the proposed child support is acceptable. Please speak to your client regarding his prior agreement to pay ~lrs. Griffiths' counsel fees. He has not followed through with this and we are requesting that he pay the counsel fees that she has incurred to data upon recoipt of this letter. If this is done, it will obviate the need for us to prepare a petition for counsel fees, costs and expenses. Language regarding'his agreement to pay counsel fees needs to be added to your proposed document. to.. Page 2 February 28, 1997 There is also an error regarding the amount of alimony. Mrs. Griffiths informed us that she had asked for $22,000 in alimony and your agreement only provides for $20,000. We would also like the custody agreement prepared separately. In doing so, please modify the agreement as follows. Mrs. GrIffith will agree that Father can have partial custody/visitation on alternate \~eekends from Friday evening at 6:00 p.m. through Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. He may also have visitation one evening per \~eek from approximately 6: 00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. During Father's periods of partial custody/visitation he will be responsible for all transportation. Holiday visitation shall occur as the parties can agree with the exception of Christmas Eve when the child will be Mother every year. As for summer vacation, Mother will agree that Father may have the chid for blO non-consecutive weelcs during the summer months. The agreement is also lacking an indemnification clause and therefore we suggest the addition of the following: "Each party represents and warrants to the other that he or she has not incurred any debt, obligation, or other li~bility, other than described in this Agreement, on ~Ihich the other party is or may be liable. Each party covenants and agrees that if any claim, action or proceeding is hereinafter initiated seeking to hold the other party liable for any other debts, obligations, liability, act or omission of such party, such party will at his or her sole expense, defend the other against any such claim or demand, whether or not well-founded, and that he or she will indemnify and hold harmless the other party in respect of all damages as resulting therefrom. Damages as used herein shall include any claim, action, demand, loss, cost, expense, penalty, and other damage, including without limitation, counsel fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid same or in opposing the imposition thereof or enforcing this indemnity, resulting to Husband or Wife from any inaccurate representation made by or on behalf of either Husband or Wife to the other in this Agreement, any breach of any of the warranties made by Husband or Wife in this Agreement, or breach or default in performance by Husband or wife of any of the obligations to be performed by such party hereunder. The Husband or \'Iifa agrees to give the other prompt written notice of any litigation threatened or instituted against either party which might constitute "'fM.Oi(,~~f'~"" .... .~,-". ...- Page J February 28, 1997 the basis for a claim for indemnity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement." We are forwarding a copy of this letter to Rebecca Emerick. Some of the documentation requested may be in her possession and we are requesting that if that is the case, that she provide copies to us in order to expedite the process. We look fon~ard to receipt of the requested information. :t:lY J~?0 Ann V. Levin LRS:AVL:kld cc: Barbara Griffiths Rebecca Emericlc ~ f@\ JOI-IN JONES &; ASSOCIATES ROUTfl 61 NOllTII. 1'.0.

Movant is Defendant in the above-captioned matter. 2. On February 25, 1994 Plaintiff/Respondent WILLIAM GRIFFITHS instituted this divorce action by filing a Complaint in Divorce seeking a divorce under Section 3301(c) of the Divorce Code, equitable distribution and custody of the parties' minor child, Brittany. 3. The parties own substantial marital assets including but not limited to real estate; retirement accounts; life insurance; financial investments and accounts; automobiles; household furnishings and personalty; and interests in certain business enterprises. 4. Discovery is required to determine the nature and value of all of the marital assets in this case. 5. Defendant/Movant believes and therefore avers that Plaintiff/Respondent has access to copies of personal and corporate tax returns for the last five years. Despite repeated written requests for the aforesaid documents, Plaintiff/Respondent has failed r..... ,.~ to produce the personal and corporate tax returns for the years 1989 through 1992, inclusive. See Defendant/Movant's Exhibit A attached hereto. 6. without said discovery, Defendant/Movant will be unable to value the parties' marital assets for which discovery is sought and thus will be unable to adequately prepare for the trial of this action. 7. Defendant/Movant is without sufficient means to pay the costs, counsel fees and expenses associated with this action and particularly incident to this Motion and the discovery to be taken. 8. Plaintiff/Respondent has sufficient means to pay all costs, counsel fees and expenses associated with this action and particularly incident to this Motion and the discovery to be taken. WHEREFORE, Defendant/Movant requests the Court to enter an Order: (1) Granting Defendant/Movant leave to take discovery including, but not limited to, the production of personal and corporate tax returns of the years 1989 through 1992, inclusive; (2) Compelling Plaintiff/Respondent to pay all costs, counsel fees and expenses incident to this Motion and the discovery to be taken; and - 2 - "....

My client will go to the trouble of picking it up from the accountant and we will therefore have same delivered to your office no later than close of business on Friday. This infonnation will of course include both my client's W-2s and all of the supporting schedules. With regard to your request for the last five (5) years worth of personal returns I would suggest that, as these were all joint returns, that you ask your client for them first.
