No. 95 - 4775 Civil
In Divorce
Peter J. Merisotis
221 Avon Drive
Carlisle, PA 17013
Dear Mr. McKnight and Mr. Merisotis:
By order of Court of President Judge Harold E. Sheely
dated December 13, 1996, the full-time Master has been appointed
in the above referenced divorce proceedings.
A divorce complaint was filed on September 6, 1995,
raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the
marriage and indignities. I am unable to determine from the
pleadings whether or not the parties are willing to sign
affidavits of consent. I am going to proceed, however, on the
basis that grounds for divorce are not an issue.
The divorce complaint also raised the economic claim of
equitable distribution. The motion for appointment of Master
indicated that other claims at issue were alimony, alimony
pendente lite, and counsel fees. Those claims have not been
raised in the pleadings.
In accordance with P.R.C.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing Mr.
McKnight, counsel for wife, and Mr. Merisotis, who apparently is
not represented by counsel, to each file a pre-trial statement
on or before Friday, January 10, 1997. Upon receipt of the
pre-trial statements I will immediately schedule a pre-hearing
conference with counsel and Mr. Merisotis, if he remains
.
