BY THE COURT, ~./l4 / J. vs. : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION - LAW NO. //'If' CIVIL 1994 PROTECTION FROM ABUSE CONNIE F. WOLAVER, plaintiff STEVE R. WOLAVER, Defendant PBTITION FOR PROTBCTIVE ORDBR RBLIBF UNDBR THB PROTBCTION FROM ABUSB ACT. 35 P.S. SBCTION 10186 (1) at sea. 1. The Plaintiff, Connie F. Wolaver, is an adult individual currently residing at 2149 Newville Road, Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. 2. The Defendant, Steve R. Wolaver, is an adult individual currently residing at 2149 Newville Road, Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. 3. The parties were married on March 17, 1989. 4. The Plaintiff has initiated a divorce action requesting a divorce based upon consent and upon indignities, which is docketed in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland county to No. 924 civil 1994. 5. For the past several months, the Defendant has attempted to cause and intentionally, knowingly or recklessly cause bodily injury to the Plaintiff and by physical menace has placed the Plaintiff in imminent serious bodily injury. This has included, but is not limited to, the following specific instances of abuse as follows: a. On March 2, 1994, in the early morning hours, upon Plaintiff's return home from work, Defendant demanded that she have sex with him. Defendant threatened to tear or rip off the Plaintiff's clothing, which he had done in the past, and in so doing, forced the Plaintiff to disrobe, whereupon he had forced sexual intercourse with her despite her protestations. Later in the morning of March 2, 1994, Defendant again awoke and demanded that plaintiff have sex with him. Plaintiff had dressed since the prior incident of forced sexual intercourse and refused to have intercourse with the Defendant. Defendant again threatened to rip off the Plaintiff's clothing and Plaintiff attempted to leave the bedroom. When Plaintiff attempted to leave the bedroom, Defendant grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down to the bed, pinning her arms above her head. Defendant then attempted to physically pry Plaintiff's legs apart, demanding that she "spread your legs so I can fuck youl" Plaintiff continued to resist Defendant and ultimately was able to free her hand to grab the Defendant's hair, at which time the Defendant then began to choke the Plaintiff, indicating he would kill her. The Plaintiff ultimately left go of the Defendant's hair and the Defendant attempted to pry the Plaintiff's legs apart demanding that she allow him to engage in sexual intercourse. Plaintiff ultimately screamed to her 15 year old daughter, who was in another part of the house, to call the pennsylvania state POlice, whereupon the Defendant, apparently out of fear, left the bedroom, showered and left the house for work. The actions of the Defendant caused bruises about the plaintiff's neck and legs and required medical attention at the Carlisle Hospital. The plaintiff has filed criminal charges against the Defendant for this incident. b. In one incident in February, 1994, Defendant demanded sex from the plaintiff. When she refused, he threatened that he would rip off her clothing. When she continued to refuse, the Defendant, in fact, ripped off a long zippered robe from the plaintiff and forced himself upon the Defendant sexually. c. Over the past three months, the Defendant has upon repeated occasions threatened to kill the plaintiff and has threatened to have someone kill the plaintiff H the plaintiff disobeys him. d. Defendant has threatened the Plaintiff that he will destroy her house and her furnishings, her garden, her pond and other personal property items at her home if she fails to comply with his demands. e. Defendant has threatened to harm the plaintiff's pets and animals that she has at the home and, in fact, has taken the Plaintiff's cat or has killed the plaintiff's cat within the last several days before the filing of this Petition. f. On repeated occasions in the past, Defendant has pushed the plaintiff around the house from room to room, or drug her from room to room by grabbing her arm and forcing her routinely into the parties' marital bedroom where he blocks the doorway to the bedroom until Defendant has been successful in forcing sexual intercourse upon the Plaintiff. 6. Despite the fact that plaintiff has attempted to sleep at other places in the home other than the marital bedroom, Defendant has forced himself upon her sexually. 7. The Plaintiff has a daughter, Tasha, who is 15 years of age and who, likewise, is in fear of the Defendant based upon his abuse of the plaintiff and the minor child's fear that the Defendant may abuse her. This is particularly true due to the Defendant's threats that he will get to the plaintiff through her child or her animals. 8. The Plaintiff believes and, therefore, avers that she is in immediate and present danger of abuse from the Defendant should the Defendant be permitted to remain in the Plaintiff's home and that plaintiff is in need of protection from such abuse. 9. Further, Plaintiff is in fear of abuse from the Defendant due to the fact that plaintiff has processed criminal charges against the Defendant for his actions. 10. The Plaintiff desires that Defendant be restrained from entering her place of employment or harassing her, her relatives or her minor child. 11. The home in which the parties reside is the plaintiff's premarital residence. 12. The Defendant has stayed outside of the parties' marital home on several occasions overnight, particularly from Saturday night until sunday night, which indicates he has another residence where he could stay if he so desires. 13. The plaintiff desires exclusive possession of her premarital residence so as to provide and retain the greatest continuity for her minor child and to allow her minor child to attend school and social activities from the residence she has known for the past eight years. WHEREFORE, pursuant to the provisions of the "Protection From Abuse Act" of October 7, 1976, 35 P.S. section 10181 et seq., as amended, Plaintiff prays your Honorable Court to grant the following relief: A. Grant a Temporary protective Order pursuant to the "Protection From Abuse Act": 1. Requiring the Defendant to refrain from abusing the plaintiff or placing her in fear of abuse; 2. Requiring the Defendant to refrain from having any contact whatsoever with the plaintiff, including, but not limited to, restraining the Defendant from entering the place of employment of the plaintiff, and requiring the Defendant to refrain from harassing the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff's relatives or her minor child: 3.

B. Schedule a hearing in accordance with the provisions of the "Protective From Abuse Act", and, after such hearing, enter 4.

Defendant believes this marriage can be saved if he and Plaintiff can work through their difficulties, and has, consequently, reqUl:sted marriage counseling as part of the divorce action.
