RE: Margaret S. Armstrong vs. Gary R. Armstrong
No. 95 - 1391 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Andrews and Mr. Weigle:
By order of Court of President Judge Harold E. Sheely
dated June 9, 1997, the full-time Master has been appointed in
the above referenced divorce proceedings
A divorce complaint was filed on March 17, 1995, raising
grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage
and indignities. The motion for appointment of Master indicates
that the parties have been separated for a period in excess of
two years; however, no affidavit under Section 3301(d) has been
filed. I am going to proceed on the assumption that grounds for
divorce are not an issue and that the parties will either sign
affidavits of consent or counsel will file an affidavit under
Section 3301(d) averring the two year separation.
The complaint also raised the economic claims of
equitable distribution, alimony, alimony pendente lite, and
counsel fees and expenses.
In accordance with P.R.C.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing
each counsel to file a pre-trial statement on or before Friday,
July 11, 1997. Upon receipt of the pre-trial statements I will
immediately schedule a pre-hearing conference with counsel to
.
Mr. Andrews and Mr. Weigle, Attorneys at Law

discuss the issues and, if necessary, schedule a hearing.

Dear Bob:
I am in receipt of your notification of appointment in the above-captioned malter, which requires the
filing of pre-trial statements on or before Friday, July II, 1997. As I will be out of town on vacation
from Wednesday July 2 through Tuesday, July IS, I request an additional period of thirty (30) days
to file the Defendant's pre-trial statement. For your additional information, counsel are presently
involved in serious negotiations which could well resolve the entire case within the extension period
requested. The marital residence will also be sold by mid-July so that we will have a firm number on
this asset if a conference and hearing became necessary.
Taylor Andrews, Esquire, is in complete concurrence with this request.
truly yours,
