DIVORCE /
MOTION FOR CONTEMPT AND ENFORCEMENT
AND NOW comes Charlene A. White, by and through her attorneys,
issinger & Dissinger, and requests that the Court find Darren S.
in contempt of Court, and enforce the provision of the
Separation and Property Settlement Agreement requiring his
contribution toward the college education of the parties' son, and
ward petitioner counsel fees and in support of this motion avers
s follows:
1. Petitioner is Charlene A. White, who resides at4143 Mountain
View Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Respondent is Darren S. White, who resides at 299 Mackintosh
Drive, Glen Burnie, Maryland.
The parties are the parents of a son, Christopher Scott White,
born February 17, 1987.
The parties were divorced by the Cumberland County Court.
The parties' Separation and Property Settlement Agreement
dated April 1, 2003, was incorporated but not merged into that
decree of divorce.
II
6. The Separation and Property Settlement Agreement provides in
paragraph 4.2, that "... they shall each be responsible for
one-half (%) of the costs of tuition, room, board, books,
supplies, and other associated expenses for Christopher's
college education that are not otherwise covered by grants,
loans, or scholarships. This obligation shall continue by
each party until such time as Christopher graduates from
college or reaches the age of 23 years." (A copy of the
Agreement is attached as Exhibit "A").
The son of the parties, Christopher S. White, was accepted and
has attended Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts for the
Animation-Associate course of instruction and received
significant government grants and student loans (See Attached
Exhibi t "B").
Christopher White has received an Enrollment Agreement from
Bradley Academy indicating the total program tuition cost to
him for full time attendance (See statement attached as
Exhibi t "C").
The child is motivated to do well in school and has undertaken
steps to reduce the cost of his education.
O. Christopher White maintains a 3.99 grade point average at
Bradley Academy and has received the Project of the Quarter
Award for four (4) of the five (5) quarters that he has been
enrolled in.
II
11. Christopher White intends to graduate from Bradley Academy in
December 2006 with a Associates Degree in visual Arts and
Animation.
12 . Christopher White is applying for acceptance to the Art
Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and upon graduation
from Bradley Academy he plans to attend the Art Institute of
Fort Lauderdale to complete their program for his Bachelor's
of Science Degree.
13.
The child is
scholarships,
tuition costs.
in the process of applying for multiple
grants, loans and awards to assist in his
14. Respondent has not contributed the full amount of college
support as agreed in the Separation and Property Settlement
Agreement of April 1, 2003 for the cost of the college
education for Christopher, nor has he fulfilled his full child
support obligation.
15. Defendant/Respondent has been reducing the amount of support
deposited into an account delegated for Christopher S. Whites'
benefit for the past several months. Currently
Defendant/Respondent is in arrears in excess of $1,000.00 and
refuses to communicate with Plaintiff/Petitioner or the
parties' son as to the reasons why.
6. Respondent has the ability to contribute to those expenses as
he is gainfully employed as a Computer Programming Consultant
at pointe Technology in Maryland, which is contracted under
II
Lockheed Martin Corporation.
17. During the parties' marriage in 2001, Defendant/Respondent was
grossing $85,000.00 annually in his field as a Computer
Programming Consultant.
18. Plaintiff/Petitioner has attempted to contact
Defendant/Respondent on several different occasions in an
effort to gain his compliance for the parties' son's benefit
to no avail.
19. Given Respondent's ability to pay for college education, his
refusal to communicate and provide for the parties' son as
agreed, is unreasonable and he is in violation of the
Separation and Property Settlement Agreement and the Divorce
Decree.
o. The Agreement provides in paragraph 6.13, that in the event of
breech, "the breaching (sic) party shall be responsible for
any and all attorneys fees as well as costs and expenses
associated with litigation incurred by the non-breaching (sic)
party to enforce this Agreement against the breaching (sic)
party. " .
1. petitioner believes that Respondent is capable of paying one
half of the costs of the education, as stated in the
Separation and Property Settlement Agreement, that are not
covered by awards, grants, and loans.
Wherefore, petitioner requests that Respondent be directed to
pay one half (%) of the college tuition not covered by grants,
scholarships, loans or award, for the both Bradley Academy and the
Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale Florida or whichever college or
facility Christopher S. White determines to attend to obtain his
Bachelor of Science Degree. Petitioner also requests the Court to
direct Respondent to pay all legal fees, cost and expenses incurred
by petitioner to gain Respondent's compliance with the Separation
and Property Settlement Agreement.

RETURN Of fEDERAL FUNDS
Refunds are allocated to financial sources in accordance with Federal Department of Education regulations.
Rcoulations require refunds for students. who receive Federal grants and/OI' loans and withdrew during a term to be

Federal Stafford Loan funds 3) Federal PLUS Loan funds 4) Federal Pell Grant funds 5} Federal SEOG Grant funds
6) PHEAA Grant funds 7) Private or Institutional Aid 8) Cash payments made by student Or parents.
A percentage of Federal Title IV Aid will be returned if the student withdr.aws during the firSl60% of the term. The
amount returned will be based on the percentage of days remaining in the quarter. The School will determine the
calendar days completed in the quarter divided by the total number of calendar days in the quarter. If the amount is
less than or equal to 60%, then that percent of the Federal Title IV Aid received is the amount that can be retained.
The difference will be returned to the Federal Title IV Aid~rogram from fund~ where received in this order:
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Subsidized Stafford Loan, PLUS Loan, Pell Grant, SEOG.
If Federal Title IV Aid funds have been given to the student, and if the student withdraws during the first 60% of the

DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR CONTEMPT
AND NOW COMES, Darren S. White, by and through his Attorney, Jane Adams,
Esquire, and files following response to Plaintiffs Motion for Contempt.
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.
8. Admitted.
9. Admitted.
10. Defendant has no knowledge about Christopher White's current grade point average;
neither Plaintiff or the child has provided such information to Defendant.
11. Defendant has no knowledge about Christopher White's date of graduation other
than what information he has obtained from the internet; neither Plaintiff or the child has
provided such information to Defendant.
12. Admitted.
13. Admitted.
14. Denied. Husband has more than amply contributed to Christopher's college support
as agreed in th~ Separation and Property Settlement, based on the information that Wife has
provided.
15. Admitted in part, denied in part. Husband has been reducing the amount of support
provided. Based on the limited amount of information on finances provided by Wife, Husband
believes he overpaid the amount of support and Wife unjustly used his overpayments for her own
expenses.
16. Admitted in part, denied in part. Husband is employed by Lockheed Martin
Corporation. He admits that he can contribute to the child's education.
17. Admitted in part. Husband did gross $85,000.00 annually in 2001 during the parties'
marriage, but that job is no longer available. Husband was totally unemployed in 2002.
Husband currently only makes a fraction of his former salary.
18. Admitted in part, denied in part. Wife contacted Husband several two times, via
telephone, at which time she was unpleasant, disrespectful, and did not provide the information
requested.
19. Denied. Husband has requested, through his attorney, further information to verify
that he is paying the correct amount. (Please see Exhibit 1). In his correspondence, he indicated
his willingness to pay the proper amount upon verification of financial records. Rather than
cooperate, or provide further information, Wife immediately filed a Motion for Contempt.
Husband still has not received the full information that he requested.
20. Admitted. However, Wife has not complied with the settlement because she has not
provided proof ofthe child's educational expenses. Wife does not deserve counsel fees because
filed the Petition for Contempt and did not make a good faith effort to resolve this matter without
legal action.
21. Husband is willing to honor his obligation under the marriage settlement agreement
but believes it is within his right to confirm the correct amount that is not covered by awards,
grants, and loans.
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Respondent requests that Petitioner's Motion for Contempt be
DENIED.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: White v. White
Dear Mary:
I represent Darren White. Yesterday I met with Darren and he indicated that he will
continue to contribute to his son's education pursuant to the marriage settlement agreement.
While Darren provided some records for my review, it was not immediately clear from
the records what was covered by grants or loans and what amount was Darren's responsibility.
Before paying any further amounts, we are requesting that you forward an either
a list of, or receipts for Christopher's tuition, room, board and other associated expenses as well
as a list of the loans and grants that Christopher has received. We want to be absolutely clear
on the amount that Darren is responsible to pay. Once we have reviewed the records, Darren
will pay the amounts due directly to the school once they come due.
Please contact me to discuss this matter further.
Sincerely,
~
