refuse to return these items. Further, Respondent was to pay
$20,000.00 out of his vested account with Blue Cross and Blue
Shield through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The
amount was suppose to be a lump sum payment of $20,000.00, a
net value, without taxes being taken out.

expecting a 20\ or a $4,000.00 mandatory Withholding tax unless

B. Petitioner does not have an IRA or other qualified
employer program to rollover the funds, and therefore
Respondent must make up the difference in the tax liability.

Dear Judge Olerl
I have been contacted by James K. Jones, Esquire, regarding the
supersedeas bond that is required for appeal. I do not have an
objection to an order which would provide that a 401K could not be
die.tpated by Mr. Fulton pending the decision of the Superior
Court.
Should you require anything else from myself or my client, plea.e
do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,

2, Defendant is a participant in a 401(k) plan through his employer at Capital
Blue Cross that currently has assets which exceed the sum ordered to be paid.
3. Defendant has filed an appeal to the Superior Court of the Court Order.
4. Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure 1731(b) penults the trial court to
grant supersedeas of orders provided security is posted in an amount and under the tenus
set within the discretion of the court.
5, Defendant consents to a court order whereby he is enjoined from wlthdmwing

CONCISE STATEMENT OF THE MA rmRS
COMPLAINED OF ON API'EAL
I. The Court pennltted parol evidence relating to Plaintiffs interpretation of
paragraph 3 and 8 of the parties' Property Selllemenl and Separation Agreement.
2. The Court's order improperly modifies the parties' Property Settlement and
Separation Agreement contrlu)' to 20 I'a. C. S. ~3105(c) in the following manner:
a, loe Court Order provides for payment by Defendant of $20,000.00 net
to PlaintllT;
b. The Court Order modifies the source from which Defendant is to pay
I'laintllT;
c, loe Court Order modifies the time period in which the sum agreed
upon Is to be paid to PlaintilT; and
d. The Court Order shlfts the tax consequences from I'laintllT as Bet forth
in the agreement to Defendant.
3. llte Court erred in relying upon I'lalntil1's value of the personal property as It
is based upon Defendant's estimate which lacked a proper foundation,
4. The Court errcd in detemlining that Defendant was rcsponsible for the Items of
personal property failing to reach Plaintln's possession.
Respectfully sublllilled,

client, the reason why it was left blank as to the exact
nature of what she would be seeking was due to the fact that
there was a tax problem here. Our remedy would be either
for the Defendant to pay the tax liability or to restructure
the QDRO so to increase the value of the money that was
taken from the 401K to make-up the difference in the tax.
Your Honor, I believe that's a call that you can make as
part of your judgment, in the event that the relief as
requested is granted.
THE COURT: Are you asking to amend your
petition to claim that relief?
MS. DEILY: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Mr. Jones, do you have any
objection to that amendment?
MR. JONES: I have no objection to making the
amendment.
THE COURT:
MS. DEILY:
THE COURT:
MS. DEILY:
Whereupon,
Okay.
Thank you.
Ms. Deily.
I will call Rose Fulton.

Q Rose, would you please state your full name
for the record?
A Rose M. Fulton.
Q And where do you live?
A I'd like my address listed as 411 North
Bedford street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 17013.
Q Where are you employed?
A National Health systems.
Q Now you were the Plaintiff in a divorce
action filed by Robert K. FUlton, is that correct?
A Yes.
Q When were you separated from Mr. Fulton?
A on November 1st, 1995.
Q And your divorce has been finalized, is that
correct?
A Yes, July 1st, 199B.
Q Now part of that divorce also included a
property settlement and separation agreement, is that
correct?
A Yes.
Q And you and Mr. Fulton both executed the
agreement as part of your equitable distribution of your
marital property, is that correct?
A Yes.
Q I'm going to show you what I have had marked

Can you please identify Plaintiff's Exhibit
Q
11

16
A Property settlement and separation agreement.
Q What is the date on that agreement?
A April 27th, 1998.
Q As far as you know, this was also made part
ot the record in your divorce proceeding, is that correct?
A
Yes.
17
Now in order to finalize this property
Q
18 settlement agreement, how did we come about the terms ot
19 this agreement?
20
MR. JONESl Your lIonor, I'm going to object
21 ae to relevancy. I think it really is where it all comee
22 down to the crux as far as this whole matter is concerned.
23 our position is that paragraph eight, dealing with the 401K
24 plan, is not ambiguous. It is clear as to how much is to be
25 distributed and how it is to be distributed. The property
6
7~
~
~
1 Bettlement agreements are just like contracts, and if there
3 is no ambiguity, the Court can't look outside the four
3 corners of the agreement in order to determine its meaning.
4 Our position is that the meaning of paragraph
5 eight is clear. It's even supplemented by the QDRO, which
6 indicates that this is to be received as a retirement
7 benefit under paragraph c, and that the Plaintiff to that
8 extent should not be permitted to supplement the meaning of
9 or the interpretation of what's contained within the
10 agreement itself.
11 THE COURT: All right. Ms. Deily, do you
12 have a response to that objection?
13 MS. DEILY: Yes, Your Honor. I believe that
14 you will need to listen to the oral testimony as to the
15 terms of the agreement because paragraph three of the
16 agreement as well as paragraph eight of the agreement are
17 the crux of the entire equitable distribution of the
18 parties' marital property. I believe that since it is
19 ambiguous as to the treatment, especially with the wording
20 of the QDRO that was prepared by Defendant's attorney, that
21 you will need to hear testimony as to what the terms were
22 and what the understanding of those terms were at the time
23 of the negotiating with the property settlement agreement as
24 well as at the time of the signing of the agreement.
25 THE COURT: Do you first want to place on the
7
S
~
A
1 record some sort of foundation for this in terms of reading
2 into the record what the contested portions of the agreement
3 are and then what has happened that has led to a difficulty?
4 MS. DEILYl Yes, Your Honor. I will have the
5 witness. I had provided her with Plaintiff's Exhibit No.1.
6 I would like for her to read paragraph number three, first
7 of all, of the property settlement agreement and its terms.
8 Do you have that in front of you?
9 MR. JONES: Your Honor, I believe that
10 Exhibit 1 is already part of the record as the property
11 settlement agreement. That was incorporated into the
12 decree.
13 MS. DEILYl That's correct, Your Honor, but
14 for ease of the hearing this afternoon, I believe that it's
15 important that we reiterate certain and highlight certain
16 paragraphs of the agreement so that you may make a
17 determination as to what the outcome will be.
18 TilE COURT: I think that would be helpful for
19 purposes of a rUling upon your objection, Mr. Jones.
20 MR. JONESl That's fine.
21 BY MS. DEILY:
22 Q Go ahead, Rose, please.
23 A The parties are the owners of cprtain real
24 estate with improvements thereon erected known as 1037 Wayne
25 Avenue, carlisle, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania.
8
~ A
1 Wife agrees within 30 days of the signing of
2 this agreement to convey said real estate to husband by
3 special warranty deed. Husband shall assume full
4 responsibility for all household expenses including, but not
5 limited to, the mortgage to Financial Trust, now Keystone
6 Financial, and the Dauphin Deposit home equity loan, liens
7 of record, utility bills, insurance and real estate taxes in
8 connection with said property. With regard to all such
9 expenses, husband hereby agrees to hold wife harmless and
10 indemnify her against any loss thereon.
11 Further, husband agrees to refinance said
12 loaning obligations by June 15th, 199B. At the time of
13 refinancing, husband will pay to wife the sum of $5000.00,
14 which represents a portion of her equity in the marital
15 home.
16
Q
Thank you, Rose. Could you also please read
17 paragraph number eight of the property settlement and
18 separation agreement?
19
A
In exchange of her equitable share of the
20 marital portion of the remaining interest in the real estate
21 and husband's retirement and pension accounts, husband shall
22 pay to wife the sum of $20,000.00. This shall be paid in a
23 Qualified Domestic Relations order from husband's 401K plan
24 at Capital Blue Cross. Both parties shall cooperate to
25 effectuate a transfer of these funds as quickly as possible.

3 I guess that is the way it reads, does it not?
4 MS. DEILY: In exchange of her equitable
5 share of the marital portion
6 THE WITNESS: In exchange of her equitable
7 share of the marital portion of the remaining interest in
8 the real estate and husband's retirement and pension
9 accounts
10 THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
11 BY MS. DEILY:
12 Q Now, Rose, how did we get to the point of
13 negotiating this property settlement separation agreement?
14 THE COURT: I need to know what problem has
15 arisen that causes some difficulty with those provisions.
16 MS. DEILY: Well, Your Honor, what I'd like
17 to present for that is what I have had marked as Plaintiff's
18 Exhibit No.4.
19 BY MS. DEILY:
20 Q Rose, could you please identify what this
21 exhibit is?
22 A This is a letter from Blue Cross Blue Shield
23 Association from an Ellen Ellwanger, manager, benefits
24 compliance and 401K programs.

BY MS. DEILY:
Q To whom is this letter addressed?
A To Johnna Deily, my attorney.
Q To whom was the letter copied to?
A It was copied to Robert Fulton, Rose Fulton,
John Weigel, and a Chris Miceli. M-i-c-e-l-i.
5

7
8
9
Q
And John Weigel was the attorney that had
11 originally represented Mr. Fulton when we were negotiating
12 the property settlement, is that correct?
13
14
A
Yes.
15 please begin reading where it says, page four of the special
16 tax notice. Do you see that? It's about the fifth
17 paragraph down.
18
Q
Now specifically in this letter, could you
19 that the rules that apply to payments to employees also
20 apply to former spouses who are alternate payees. Under the
21 IRS rollover rules that apply to employees and alternate
22 payees, certain distributions from qualified retirement
23 plane are considered eligible rollover distributions. In an
24
A
Page four of the special tax notice provides
25 directly to an alternative -- to an alternate payee, and not
eligible
if an eligible rollover distribution is paid
11
79
~
A
1 rolled over to another qualified retirement program or
2 individual retirement account, IRA, then 20 percent of the
3 amount is to be withheld for taxes. Ms. Fulton should
4 consult with a tax advisor before she elects to receive this
5 distribution.
6 Q Now, Rose, before I have you read further, do
7 you have a qualified retirement program or an IRA at this
8 time that you would be eligible to rollover any monies
9 received under this pension plan?
10 A No, not at this time.
11 Q okay. Could you please continue reading the
12 next paragraph?
13 A In response to your october 5 letter, if Hs.
14 Fulton elects to have the QDRO distribution paid directly to
15 her and does not elect a direct rollover to a qualified plan
16 or IRA, then 20 percent will be withheld and sent to the IRS
17 to be credited toward her tax liability. Her payment will
18 be 80 percent of $20,000.00 or a net payment of $16,000.00.
19 Alternatively, if she electes a direct rollover of the QDRO
20 to a qualified plan or IRA, a payment of $20,000.00 will be
21 made from the program and Ms. Fulton will be able to defer
22 the taxes until a later date when she withdraws the funds.
23 Q Again, do you have any type of a pension or a
24 qualified plan that would allow you to rollover the money
25 that's received from the 40lK plan to avoid that tax
12
6
~
.
1 liability?
2 A No.
3 Q Okay. And will you please continue reading
4 the last paragraph?
5 A If the alternate payee does not intend to
6 rollover the QDRO distribution and it was agreed that she
7 would receive the net amount of $20,000.00, then the QDRO
B would need to be amended. In order to receive a net check
9 amount of $20,000.00, the amount of the retirement benefit
10 specified in the QDRO should be $25,000.00.
11 Q Thank you.
12 THE COURTl I think that's enough of a
13 foundation for the issue of the objection. Ms. Deily, what
14 is your interpretation of that, those clauses in the
15 agreement?
16 MS. DEILYl In the property settlement
17 agreement? Well, Your Honor, I believe that you will need
18 to hear testimony from my client. The underetanding for
19 the--
20 THE COURTl No, I don't want the
21 understanding. Right now, I'm trying to decide whether to
22 allow parole evidence in, and I need to know what your
23 position is as to what that clause means.
24 MS. DEILYl It's my client's position that

number eight, coupled together provide for a distribution of
$25,000.00 in exchange for my client's share of the marital
portion of the house as well as a waiver of his retirement
and his pension plan. I also have to present into evidence
a copy of the deed showing that she did transfer her
interest. She signed the property settlement agreement
waiving his retirement and pension, and altogether taken
together, the net amount that my client should receive i8
$25,000.00.
THE COURT: All right. Mr. Jones, what i.
your interpretation of that clause in the agreement?
MR. JONES: The interpretation is squarely
within the four corners in that there was an agreement under
paragraph three that she would receive $5000.00 subsequent
to Mr. fulton refinancing, which has already been done.
That has already been taken care of. Paragraph eight though
indicates that she will receive $20,000.00 payable through a
QORO from his 401K. And paragraph c of the QORO then
indicates -- and this is the second line of the second
page -- I'm sorry, it's paragraph e -- pursuant to the
divorce decree entered on July 1, 1998, the alternate payee
shall receive a retirement benefit from the program in an
amount of the lesser, paragraphs one or two. One or two are
the amounts as follows: either the amount that's actually
in the program or $20,000.00. Clearly she's to receive it
14
gJ
~
~
1 as a Qualified Domestic Relations order to an alternate
2 payee.
3 If she subsequently decided to take it as
4 cash, certainly it shouldn't be my client's burden, under
5 the agreement, to pay for any tax consequences. It's clear
6 within the wording of paragraph eight and the QDRO that she
7 is to receive $20,000.00 in a QDRO from the 401K. clearly,
8 there are tax consequences and rules that apply to that type
9 of transfer. There is nothing within the agreement that
10 changes those requirements under the transfer. Under the
11 agreement and the QDRO, she receives a retirement benefit of
12 $20,000.00 from the 401K. I don't see any ambiguity at all
13 as far as the terms of the contract, and that is what my
14 client understood it to be when he signed it.
15
THE COURT: All right. The Court will permit
16 parole ~vidence to be received on the meaning of the clause
17 in the agreement that is at issue.

1 BY MS. DEILY:
2 Q That was your marital home?
3 A Yes.
4 Q Now when we were at the four-party
5 conference, you had negotiations with Mr. Fulton as to how
6 the $25,000.00 was to be paid, is that correct?
7 A Yes.
8 Q And what was your understanding of how that
9 was to be paid out?
10 A How I wanted it to be or --
11 Q How you wanted it to be first?
12 A Well, I had hoped that he would refinance the
13 property for the full $25,000.00 and I would be paid that
14 way, but he said that he could only manage to refinance it
15 for an additional $5000.00, and so I cooperated and signed
16 it over and was to get the $20,000.00 from the retirement
17 plan.
18 Q Did we discuss at the time of the four-party
19 conference that he had sufficient funds in his retirement
20 plan or in his 401K plan that would enable him to pay you
21 the $20,000.00?
22 A Yes.
23 0 And your concern at that time was what?
24 A My only concern was, I was told at that time
25 that I might have to wait up to a year to get the money, but
18
'-&
......~......
..
""
,-.
1 there was never anything stated to me that I would get
2 16,000 because 4000 would be deducted for taxes. I
3 understood that I was getting $20,000.00.
4 Q okay. And Mr. Weigel at that time had agreed
5 to prepare the QDRO, as he had previously been in contact
6 with Blue Cross and Blue Shield, is that correct?
7 A Yes.
8 Q So other than having to possibly wait longer
9 than you would have for a cash payout or the refinancing,
10 you had agreed to execute a QDRO and cooperate into
11 executing a QDRO on the understanding that you would receive
12 $20,000.00 eventually?
13 A Yes.
14 Q Now in the letter that I had previously
15 marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit No.4, one of the options was
16 to amend the QDRO, is that correct?
17 A Yes.
18 Q And if that was amended for you to receive
19 $25,000.00, what is your understanding of what you would be
20 receiving under that QDRO?
21 A It's my understanding that I would receive
22 $25,000.00, that I would have to use the extra $5000.00 to
23 pay the taxes on it. It would, of course, be included in my
24 income for the year that the money was distributed, and I
25 would have to pay him money back.

TilE COURT I This isn't clear. The question
2 was, one of the options was that you could get $25,000.00.
3 It sounds as if that was one of the options discussed at
4 this conference.
5
THE WITNESSI No.
TilE COURT I All right. When was that option
6
7 raised?
8
THE WITNESS I The first time I saw it was
9 when I received this letter.
10
THE COURT I I see.
11
MS. DEILYI Your Honor, the $25,000.00 are
12 two different figures.
13
TilE COURT I I understand, but the record just
14 wasn't clear the way the question was asked.
15
MS. DEILYI Okay.
16 BY MS. DEILYI

Q
One of the options is to amend the QDRO to
18 take out an additional $5000.00, is that correct?
19
A
Yes.
20
Q
okay. And then you would be assuming the taK
21 liability, but net in-pocket would be $20,OOO.00?

A
Twenty thousand.
Okay. Now you had started to state that you

funds. That's my understanding of it.
Q Okay.
THE COURT: You said at one point, you said,
$16,000.00, and then at another point, we're talking about
an extra $sOOO.OO?
THE WITNESS: Okay. The way that the plan is
written, in order for them to pay me $20,000.00, they would
deduct $4000.00. They would take the 20 percent taxes off
of it.
THE COURT:
Deily.
I've got it.
I understand.
Thank you. Ms.
BY MS. DEILY:
Q Now, Rose, is there another alternative that
you see other than amending the QDRO?
A If there were some way that I would get the
16,000 and he would pay me the additional 4. I feel, from
the settlement, that I'm entitled to the $20,000.00, and
that's what I would like to have happen.
Q So if Mr. Fulton could receive the 401K plan
himeelf
A That would be another option, if he were to
21
[
IllI\
~
1 withdraw the QDRO or the QDRO were rewritten so he withdrew
2 the money. And in that way, that extra $5000.00 wouldn't be
3 involved in my finances or any income for the year.
4
Q
And you would be receiving the $20,000.00
5 that you had intended to receive when you were negotiating,
6 is that correct?
7
A
Right.
Okay. Now moving off of the QDRO and the
8
Q
9 401K, you also had in your part of your property settlement
10 and separation agreement a provision to split up your
11 personal property, is that correct?
12
A
Yes.

Q
Do you still have the property settlement
14 agreement in front of you?
15 A Yes.

17 agreement. Could you please read the introductory
18 paragraph? I won't have you read all of the property yet
19 but the introductory paragraph.
20
A
The parties hereto mutually agree that they
21 have effected a satisfactory division of the furniture,
22 household furnishings, appliances, tools and other household
23 personal property between them, except for the following

24 painting, it was a picture. And because of the material
25 that it was printed on, when it was taken out of the frame,

4 A No.
5 Q So it was your understanding that the picture

7 A Yes.
8 Q -- condition?
9 A Yes.
10 Q Now do you have a value or any way to place a
11 value on the items that have not been returned to you?
12 A Well, with regard to the hutch, which is
13 probably the most valuable item, Bob, Mr. Fulton, prepared a
14 list of the property in the home, and on that list, he
15 included the hutch. He valued all of the items. And he
16 valued the hutch at $1200.00.
17 Q That came from Mr. Fulton?
18 A That came from Mr. Fulton.
19 Q That was part of a negotiation as far as the
20 value of all the personal property?
21 A Yes.
22 Q How about any of the other items? Are they
23 more of value, like your grandmother's dishes, do they have
24 a value to themselves or more of a sentimental value?
25 A All of the items that I asked for either
31
"'"
~
1 belong to my daughter, and she hoped to get them, or they
2 had sentimental value to me.
3 Q You have no way of placing a value?
4 A So it's really difficult, you know, to eay
5 how much thsy're worth.
6 Q Okay.
7 THE COURT: Leaving off the sentimental part
8 of it, how much are they worth, in your opinion?
9 THE WITNESS: Including the hutch, I'd say
10 $1200.00 to $1500.00.
11 BY MS. DEILY:
12 Q Was the set of dishes from your grandmother a
13 full set?
14 A No, it was just some pieces that she had
15 given to me, so it's --
16 Q Now I'll ask you one last time to refer to
17 the property settlement and separation agreement that had
18 been marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit No.1. And I'll direct
19 you to paragraph number 19. Could you please read that?
20 A In the event that either party breaches any
21 provision of this agreement, and the other party retains
22 counsel to assist in enforcing the terms thereof, the
23 parties hereby agree that the breaching party will pay all
24 attorney's fees, court costs and expenses incurred by the
25 other party in enforcing the agreement.
32
~
~
1 A $540.00.
2 MS. DEILY: Your Honor, I would ask at this
3 time to amend the complaint for an amount specific for
4 reimbursement of attorneY'e fees, if you should find that
5 Mr. Fulton has breached the terms of the property settlement
6 agreement, to include the $540.00 that my client has had to
7 pay in order to enforce the agreement. This does not
8 include time for the last hearing, the time when we
9 appeared, assuming that we would have the last hearing for
10 today's time. It is up to include January 4th of 1999.
11 THE COURT: Mr. Jones.
12 MR. JONES: This is the first time I've heard
13 of this. I mean, there's nothing in the complaint
14 requesting attorney's fees to enforce it. There's been no
15 mention at all prior to this point. The question of relief
16 certainly doesn't because certainly, as I indicated before,
17 that was only for return of personals. There is no request
18 in the petition at all as far as attorney's fees.
19 MS. DEILY: Your Honor, that's why I asked to
20 amend the complaint. Mr. Jones And I had -- well, Mr.
21 Weigel and I initially had been negotiating this, and asked
22 for the return of attorney's fees, and Mr. Jones and I also
23 discussed this prior to the time that we came to the last
24 hearing.
25 MR. JONES: There were discussions as far as
34
I
.
~
---
1 relief. There were no discussions though as far as
2 attorney's fees are concerned. There certainly isn't any
3 notice in the petition she's going to be asking for
4 attorney's fees.
5 MS. DEILY: Your Honor, the property
6 settlement agreement provides for a remedy in the event that
7 there's a breach, and I would ask at this time if you should
8 find that Mr. Fulton has breached the terms of the property
9 settlement agreement by not returning the personal property
10 or by not complying with the requirement to pay my client
11 the $20,000.00, that she be reimbursed the attorney's fees
12 that were out-of-pocket, as provided for in the property
13 settlement agreement.
14 MR. JONES: My point is, we should at least
15 have received notice of this prior to the time that she
16 testified or at least the time of the hearing so we could
17 prepare for trial.
18 THE COURT: The request to amend the petition
19 to include any demands for attorney's fees is denied. Ms.
20 Deily.
21 BY MS. DEILY:
22 Q Rose, to sum this up, you're requesting what
23 remedy from the Court today?
24 A Well, if there was any way that I could get
25 the personal property, I would rather have it than the
35
~
---
1 money, but I don't foresee that happening, so I would ask
2 that there be some way that I get the $20,000.00. That's
3 what I expected to get, and I feel that I'm entitled to
4 that, and some monetary value for the hutch and the other
5 items.
6 THE COURT: Thank you.
7 MS. DEILY: Thank you, Rose.
8 THE COURT: Mr. Jones.
9 CROSS EXAMINATION
10 BY MR. JONES:
11 Q Mrs. Fulton, you've read so well so far,
12 could you read paragraph 20, please?
13 A This agreement constitutes the entire
14 understanding between the parties and there are no
15 covenants, conditions, representations, or agreements, oral
16 or written, of any nature whatsoever, other than those
17 herein contained.
18 Q You were permitted to explain the background
19 as far as what led to the arriving at the $20,000.00 figure,
20 and I believe you indicated that you took all of your assets
21 and split them 50/50?
22 A Yes.
23 Q And if you received $20,000.00, then he gave
24 up $20,000.00, that that would make a 50/50 split, is that
25 correct?

A $25,000.00.
Q $25,000.00 altogether, that's correct. So if
you received 25,000, and he gave up 25,000, you would be
even?
A Yes.
Q What you're asking for now is for him to give
up $30,000.00 so you can wind up with $25,000.00, is that
correct?
A No.
Q You're asking him to give up $25,000.00 in
his 401K?
A No, I'm not asking him to do that. I'm
asking for the $20,000.00 that I understood in the terms of
the agreement. I got 5000 of the 25 when he refinanced the
house, but I expected to get another $20,000.00 not 16 after
$4000.00 was deducted for taxes.
Q I understand what you expected, but what
you're asking this Court to do is, for him to take
$25,000.00 out of his account and give that to you so that
you would wind up with the 20,000 in cash?
A I'm aSking the Court for the $20,000.00.
Q How do you propose that be done?
A I can receive the 16,000, and he can make-up
the other 4.
Q Which means that he would have to take

$4000.00 out of his pocket in order to give that to you?
A Right.
Q Which, in essence, would have him give you
$24,000.00, between the $20,000.00 from his account and the
$4000.00 in taxes, for a total of 29,000?
A No, I expected to get $20,000.00.
Q I understand what you expected to get. I'm
trying to get to the point where you negotiated a 50/50
split, and I'm trying to see how exactly you want that to
come about?
A I wanted him to refinance the house and pay
me the $25,000.00 out of that refinancing of the house. He
would only take the money out of his retirement. That was
his decision. I cooperated. I even found out that I would
have to wait up to a year in order to get the $20,000.00.
But at no time did I think it would be any less than the
$20,000.00. If I only get 16, and I only got 5 before,
that's only $21,000.00, it's not 25.
Q But you understand, you can get $20,000.00
retirement benefit as you referred to in the Qualified
Domestic Relations Order?
A I understand that. However--
Q But that's not what you wanted, is that what
you're saying?
A But this money is not just retirement money.
38
"'"
~
1 This represents my share of the assets in the marriage. It
2 was his choice to take it out of the retirement account and
3 I--
4 Q But you agreed to that?
5 A Yes, I agreed to it.
6 Q Okay. Now what I'm trying to understand from
7 you is how you're going to reserve a 50/50 split through a
8 proposal to this Court, if you can indeed modify the
9 agreement, as to how that is exactly going to take place
10 without disturbing the 50/50 split? Is it possible?
11 A Well, it will disturb the 50/50 split for one
12 or the other of us, that's true.
13 Q But the agreement was that it would be a
14 50/50 split?
15 A Yes.
16 Q You also indicated, you discussed with your
17 attorney at the time that you were looking for $25,000.00 in
18 cash. Was that actually mentioned at the time of the
19 four-party conference, that you wanted $25,000.00 in cash?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Or that you wanted $25,000.00 as your
22 interest in the house and pension fund?
23 A Yes, I was to receive $25,000.00 as my
24 interest in the joint assets. That was my share of the
25 assets.
39
~
---
1 Q And you understand, under the terms of the
2 401K, that Mr. Fulton has to wait for his benefits until the
3 time he's at least 59 and a half?
4 A Yes.
5 Q And you're not willing to do that?
6 A I would be willing to do that if this money
7 was solely my share of his retirement, but it is not. We
8 owned property together. I gave up virtually all the
9 property in the house.
10 Q And you agreed to that?
11 A And I agreed to that. But I expected to get
12 $25,000.00 not 21.
13 Q I believe one of your proposals as to how
14 this could be done is if he removed the cash himeelf and
15 pays you the 20,000?
16 A Yes.
17 Q That would require him to remove $25,000.00
18 from his account, is that correct?
19 A I understand that, yes.
20 Q with regard to personal property, under the
21 terms of our agreement, he was to make those deliveries to
22 your parents' house, is that correct?
23 A Yes.
24 Q You acknowledge, you did receive some of
25 those items?

With regard to the hutch which, I believe, is
10 Exhibit No.7, did you ever move that hutch to clean or
11 anything else around that area?
12

A
Pushed it. It had rollers on it.

property settlement agreement, didn't you actually agree to
receive less than a 50/50 share of the tallied items ae long
as you received a cash settlement of $25,000.00?
A Yes.
Q Isn't it true that when all the property was
added up, all the marital assets added up, you were actually
entitled to a little more than the 25,000 on paper, but you
had agreed to $25,000.00 as a net figure?
A Yes.
Q So the 50/50 split that you had talked about
during my examination of you and then Mr. Jones' cross
examination is what you basically agreed to settle for in an
effort to resolve everything without going to a Master's
hearing?
A Yes.
Q And also without having to go out for years
and years on a payout
A Yes.
Q -- of that 25,000. Did you not consider or
discuse at the time of the four-party conference that some
of the funds, you could have received a higher amount of
funds if Mr. Fulton would have paid you, say, over a
three-year period or a five-year period?
A Yes.
Q And you had agreed to take the lesser than a
42
""'
~
1 50/50 split of 25,000 in order to be paid in a more
2 expeditious manner, is that correct?
3 A Yee.
4 Q Did it matter to you at that time how you
5 received the 25,000?
6 A No.
7 Q It didn't matter to you that you had to
8 cooperate in signing some bank documents in order to get the
9 5000 to refinance?
10 A No.
11 Q Did it matter to you that you had to execute
12 a QDRO if that was the means that it took for you to get
13 your $25,000.00?
14 A No.
15 Q Does it matter to you today how you received
16 that $25,000.00?
17 A No.
18 Q So the suggestions that you were making as to
19 whether we amend the QDRO or Mr. Fulton pays the funds out
20 of his pocket, you would just do again what was necessary to
21 cooperate to have you receive the $25,000.00?
22 A Yes.

half off the sidewalk, and I feel that in order for the
hutch to have been delivered, and if it had been put on the
front porch where all of the rest of the items were left,
that it would take more than one person to lift the hutch,
even if it was in two pieces.
Q What kind of vehicle does Mr. Fulton drive?
A He has a Ford truck.
Q A pick-up truck?
A Yes.
Q Would it require somebody lifting up the
hutch into the back bed of the truck?
A Yes.
Q Again, two people?
A I would say so, yes.
Q Again, to remove the hutch from the truck to
put it on your parents' porch?
A Yes.

1 THE COURT: Thank you.
2 BY MR. JONES:
3 Q The Court permitted your wife to testify as
4 to the background leading up to the signing of the property
5 settlement separation agreement. Do you remember that
6 four-party conference?
7 A Yes, sir.
8 Q What was the discussion regarding the payout
9 to Rose from the property that had accumulated during the
10 marriage?
11 A The house was to be refinanced, and she was
12 to receive $5000.00 from the refinancing.
13 Q Was there a discussion at the four-party
14 conference regarding the $25,000.00 refinance?
15 A No, sir.
16 Q I'm sorry?
17 A No, sir. And the $20,000.00 was to come out
18 of my 401K plan at work, which was suggested by her counsel.
19 Q Did she agree to that?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Now under the terms of your 401K, do you know
22 when you're eligible to receive benefits?
23 A I'm not really sure.
24 Q Okay. Was there a discussion at the
25 four-party conference as to whether that $20,000.00 from the
48
I ~
~
~
1 401K would be in cash or retirement benefit or what type of
2 discussions, if any, were there?
3 A There was no discussions as to how -- what
4 kind of money we was talking. There was to be $20,000.00 to
5 be from my 401K payable to her.
6 Q How do you recall, if you recall, the
7 $20,000.00 figure and the $5000.00 figure was arrived at?
8 A That was agreed upon as a result of the
9 divorce and as a result of the property settlement with her
10 counsel and John Weigel at the time.
11 Q Were the two of you looking for any
12 particular figure? I believe she mentioned the 50/50
13 figure. Is that what you were looking for?
14 A That seems to be what we was looking for,
15 yes.
16 Q In your calculations, with the $20,000.00
17 coming out of your 401K and the 5000 from the refinance, how
18 close to the 50/50
19 A That was it. That was it.
20 Q That was 50{50?
21 A (Witness nodded head affirmatively.) Along
22 with the personal items that we already talked about.
23 Q Implicated within the agreement that she
24 would take 20,000, and she would waive any interest that you
25 had in the remainder, is that correct?
49
~
~
1 A (Witness nodded head affirmatively.)
2 Q And as far as coming to a 50/50 split, that
3 was considered to be your property? That was considered to
4 be -- the remaining portion of the pension was to be
5 considered your property?
6 A (Witness nodded head affirmatively.)
7 Q Do you have any idea what the tax
8 consequences would be if you were required to pay the taxes
9 on that property for Mrs. Fulton?
10 A No, sir, I have no idea. That is not my line
11 of work. I'm not an accounting type individual.
12 Q Are you in agreement that you should be held
13 responsible for that, for those tax consequences?
14 A No, sir. The deal was $20,000.00 out of my
15 401K. And, in my opinion, if she elects to have the money
16 as cash, and if the IRS says, that is taxble income, then
17 she should pay tax on it. It is her money, no longer mine.
18 Q But you're willing to transfer the 20,000?
19 ^ That was part of the ODRO, yes.
20 0 In regard to the personal property, there's
21 been much discussion regarding the hutch?
22 A Yes, sir.
23 Q Do you recall where that hutch was in the
24 house?
25
A
It was in the, I guess we call it, the living
50
~
~
1 room.
2 Q Okay. Was the hutch ever delivered to her
3 parents' house?
4 A Yes, sir.
5 Q Who delivered it?
6 A Me.
7 Q How did you deliver that?
8 A Pick-up truck.
9 Q I believe there was some indication that that
10 comes in two pieces, is that correct?
11 A Actually, three.
12 Q Three piecee. Did you deliver -- how many of
13 those pieces did you deliver?
14 A Well, there was two -- for that particular
15 item, it took two loads for three pieces.
16 Q Did you have any assistance as far as that
17 was concerned?
18 A No.
19 Q You were able to do it yourself?
20 A Yes, sir.
21 Q And where did you deliver those three pieces?
22 A The same location I delivered everything else
23 that was requested, and things that were not requested, that
24 was to her parents' residence. I was to offload and simply
25 drive away.
51
~
~
1 Q There are other iteme such as a Fostoria
2 vase, a table that was in the basement, some toys, and eome
3 dishes that are also supposed to be missing. Do you recall
4 what happened to those?
5 A Everything on her list was delivered, with
6 one exception. There was a reference of a toy rifle. I
7 have yet to find it. I don't know where it's at. I never
8 delivered it. I can't find it. Everything on the list was
9 delivered plus several items that she apparently overlooked
10 on her list she also got.
11 Q How were those other items delivered?
12 A In the same manner, by me in my truck.
13 Q Was it approximately the same time?
14 A Well, initially when we came upon this
15 agreement, I had asked Roee to drop off some cardboard boxes
16 at my place for the purpoee of packing up some of her stuff,
17 which she did. She dropped a few off, not near enough. The
18 rest of them, I got from my employer. And over the time
19 period that I was allotted, I was a pretty buey boy on the
20 evenings and weekends, plus work, trying to comply with the
21 agreement. But, yes, they were all delivered within a --
22 within the specified time of the agreement, with one
23 exception.
24 Q Okay. But of the items that she's indicated
25 are missing, the hutch, the vase, the table, and the dishes,

were those delivered in the same period of time or were they

A Yes, eir.
Q Are you aware of any event that was going on
in the Bedford street area at that time that the hutch and
those items were delivered?
A After the fact, yes, sir.
Q And what event was that?
A By way of a neighbor reminding me that it was
spring clean-up. There was a period in May whereby all the
residents in the Borough put out their unwanted trash or
whatever, and the Borough picks it up or the scavengers come
up.
Q And the hutch, you're saying, was put on the
front porch?
A Yeah. Well, it was offloaded in front of the
house. Some items, depending upon the size of the load that
I had on the truck, were on the porch. Some of them were on
the curb.
Q Okay.
THE COURT: Some were on the curb?
THE WITNESS: Yeah, a small porch will not
hold everything that I had in one load.

they were just put on the sidewalk?

2 CROSS EXAMINATION
3 BY MS. DEILY:
4 Q Mr. Fulton, do you recall at the time we had
5 the four-party conference Mrs. Fulton originally wanted
6 about $10,000.00 more than the 25,000 she agreed to, is that
7 correct?
8 A I don't recall that.
9 Q You don't recall that Mrs. Fulton came in
10 with a proposal to you and Mr. Weigel higher than what she
11 eventually agreed to, and then we did some negotiating from
12 there?
13 A We did some negotiating, but I'm not sure of
14 your figure of $10,000.00.
15 Q Okay. But you will agree though that Mrs.
16 Fulton wanted more than the $25,000.00 initially when the
17 four of us sat down?
18 A Apparently, yes.
19 Q Okay. And then she agreed after, you know,
20 an hour or eo of discussion to accept $25,000.00?
21 A She agreed to accept 5000 as refinancing ths
22 house and 20,000 from my 401K.
23 Q But initially, before we got into the
24 discussions of how we were going to come up with the
25 $25,000.00, 25 was the bottom-line, agreed-to figure, is
55
~3
~
~
1 that correct?
2 A Yes.
3 Q At any time did anybody say, well, this is
4 exactly 50 percent, and you get 50, or was it based on a
5 negotiation that Mrs. Fulton agreed to accept a little less,
6 you agreed to pay a little more than you had wanted to, and
7 you just arrived at that figure of what you considered to be
8 equitable?
9 A We arrived at that figure to be considered
10 equitable, yes. How we got there, I'm not really sure.
11 Q You will agree that Mrs. Fulton lowered her
12 expectations a little bit, and you must have increased yours
13 a little bit, to reach a negotiation?
14 A Well, during that period, we had -- I had
15 changed home owners insurance, and I believe it came to your
16 attention that I now had the place insured for a hundred
17 thousand dollars, which was a step up from what we had
18 initially had while we lived together, and I think that came
19 from you.
20 Q Okay. But then juet what I'm getting at is
21 then, at no point in the discussions did we ever say, well,
22 this is 50/50. We said, this was an equitable amount based
23 on what you two could agree upon that day so we didn't have
24 to go through a Master's hearing so we didn't have to pay
25 anymore attorney's fees, etc.?
56
;<~
~
~
1 A It was an agreement, yes.
2 Q okay. Now when we started to negotiate how
3 that $25,000.00 was going to be paid out, who brought up the
4 suggestion that only $5000.00 to be refinanced?
5 A Refinanced as part
6 Q From the house?
7 A The house? I'm not sure. I don't recall who
8 came up with that figure.
9 Q Do you recall Mrs. Fulton wanting as much as
10 possible of that money to come out of refinancing since she
11 did have some equity in the home?
12 A It seems to me that the -- I don't know how
13 we evolved at it, but we came up with the $5000.00 as part
14 of the remortgage of the house, but the 20,000 came from the
15 401K. How we all got there, I'm not sure.
16 Q You don't recall. Okay. Did Mr. Weigel give
17 you some advice as to say what your mortgage payment would
18 be if you had?
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
A He had no idea.
Q He did not?
A He had no idea.
Q He didn't discuss anything?
A Because I hadn't been to the bank yet at that
point because I didn't know what it was.
Q But what I'm arriving at is the -- you could

have refinanced more than 5000, you had just agreed to 5000
at that point?
A Well, actually it was more than that at the
time the bank
Q with your fees and costs?
A Yes.
THE COURT: Wait. You have to let each other
finish your answers and questions or the record will be
confused.
BY MS. DEILY:
Q Now at that time, how much money did you have
in your 401K? Do you reoall?
A I have no idea what's in there. I have a 6
percent deduction, payroll deduction. I've been with the
company close to seven years. What that equates to, I don't
know.
Q I would tell you that from what your attorney
provided me, it was worth about 42,000. You wouldn't
dispute that?
A I doubt very seriously if I've contributed
42,000. If you say so. I don't know.
Q You at least had the 20 in your 401K?
A I believe that to be, true, yes.
Q So your attorney had agreed to prepare the
QDRO based on some kind of an understanding with Blue Crosl
58
~
,..
1 and Blue Shield that you had the funds in your 401K
2 sufficient to pay Mrs. Fulton?
3 A I think eo, yes.
4 Q okay. Now are you able to withdraw money
5 from your 401K?
6 A I don't think so. I don't know.
7 Q You never explored that possibility?
8 A No.
9 Q But there would be no reason to think that
10 you couldn't, the same way Mrs. Fulton could?
11 A I have no idea.
12 Q Now you had stated that you had delivered
13 items, personal property to Mrs. Fulton's parents' on
14 several different occasions?
15 A Numerous, numerous, numerous occasions.
16 Q Do you recall the date that you would have
17 eupposedly delivered the hutch?
18 A It would have been in the specified time
19 limits of the agreement. The exact date, no.
20 Q Well, can you pick a month?
21 A Well, the agreement wae from the 27th of
22 April, I believe. We had 60 days from that period forward.
23 Q That's correct.
24 A So April, May, to June.
2& Q But you don't recall what week in Mayor June

11 Q It's your testimony that you delivered the
12 hutch and other items on one particular day?

14 Q When did you deliver?
15 A Within the specified time limits of the
16 agreement.
17 Q I need a little more specificity?
18 A You have to understand, ma'am, there was more
19 than one pick-Up load of items that I delivered to her
20 parents' place. This occupied quite a bit of time.
21 Q Did you deliver the hutch as one of the first
22 items you delivered, one of the last --
23 A Probably.
24 THE COURT: You have to let Ms. Deily finish
25 her question. What's the question?
Borough of carlisle?
A Not recalling, no, I don't.
Q Do you live in the Borough?
A No.
Q You don't have spring clean-up where you are?
A This past fall is the first time the TownShip
had it that I'm aware of.

~
1 MR. JONES I First item raised in the petition
2 deals with the items of personal property. It's clear that
3 Mrs. Fulton received several of ths items that are listed.
4 There was about 15 items listed there. Mr. Fulton testified
5 that he delivered those and that he also delivered other
6 items that he also found around the house that were hers but
7 weren't specifically set out in the agreement.
8 He indicated that he was able to move it by
9 himself despite what Mrs. Fulton's testimony was, and Mrs.
10 Fulton even indicated that it was on rollers and could be
11 moved for cleaning and certain items such as that. There is
12 no teetimony on the Plaintiff's behalf indicating that Mr.
13 Fulton still has possession of those items. The agreement
14 at the time was that he was to deliver them to a somewhat
15 neutral third party, that being her parents, so that there
16 would be no confrontation.
17 He testified that he did. There was no
18 testimony indicating that he didn't. He also gave a
19 reasonable explanation as to why those items were not
20 received by her after they became within the parents'
21 control due to a Borough clean-up or due to scavengers or
22 whomever.
23 But Mr. Fulton's obligation under the
24 agreement was to deliver those iteme to her parents' houee,
25 and the only testimony we heard so far is that he did
63
~I
~
~
1 deliver those. So to that extent, he's fulfilled his
2 obligations under the agreement by providing those items as
3 well an the numerous items that actually were received by
4 Mrs. Fulton.
5 In regard to the value, if there is a
6 decision there that he may not have, again, the $1200.00
7 figure, as he testified to, was out of the air. He just
8 pulled a number out of the air, and he doesn't have any
9 experience at all in regard to the value. And so to that
10 extent, I hardly believe that is a valid valuation as far as
11 the value of the hutch. The eame with the other items.
12 There really is no value attached to them.
13 Obviously though, the most important item is
14 the 401K. And as Rose Fulton testified, when they sat down,
15 they were looking for a 50/50 split. If you now require Mr.
16 Fulton to take full responsibility for the tax coneequences,
17 clearly, that no longer is a 50/50 split. He is saddled
18 with tax consequences. That obviously is a consideration
19 under the equitable distribution scheme and, therefore, he
20 no longer gets the benefit of his bargain when he signed the
21 agreement.
22 Also, more importantly, I think the court has
23 real problems as far as trying to modify this agreement in
24 any way due to section 3105(c) under the Divorce Code or
25 under the Domestic Relations Code which indicates that,
64
J3X
~
---
1 unless a contract says otherwise, or marital property
2 agreement says otherwise, the Court cannot modify it. And
3 that's exactly what I believe the Plaintiff is asking you to
4 do at this point, to go in, modify the agreement that both
5 parties signed, both parties eupplemented by a ODRO,
6 indicating that this was to be a pension benefit, both
7 documents of which were submitted to the Court and made a
8 part of the record.
9 The agreement is even made a part of the
10 decree. But to that extent, Mr. Fulton is ready, willing,
11 and able to give up the $20,000.00, but to ask him to give
12 up anything more than that totally upsets the apple cart as
13 far as this agreement is concerned. He is to give up
14 $5000.00, which he already did as far as equity in the
15 property. And the $20,000.00 from the balance of the equity
16 in the real estate and the pension, the retirement benefits,
17 he is waiting to do that.
18 Anything more than that, first of all,
19 violates the Domestic Relatione Code, but secondly, puts him
20 at a distinct disadvantage due to the fact that he was -- he
21 agreed to give up $20,000.00 from his pension, and that's
22 exactly what he's willing to do. To lock one in tax
23 consequences on top of that completely reforms the entire
24 agreement. As we said from the agreement, the agreement is
25 the agreement.
65
3
~
A
1 The Domestic Relations Code does not allow
2 this Court to modify the agreement. And further, even if it
3 did, just looking at it fairly, he would be giving up mUch
4 more than he had agreed to in the agreement itself. To that
5 extent, I would ask that the relief requested by the
6 Plaintiff be denied.
7 THE COURT: Thank you, Mr. Jones. Ms. Deily.
8 MS. DEILY: Your Honor, as far as what my
9 client is seeking today, she is not asking you to modify the
10 property settlement and separation agreement, she's merely
11 asking you to enforce it. Paragraphs three and eight taken
12 together add up to the $25,000.00 that you heard testimony
13 from both parties that was the agreed-upon split for my
14 client's equitable share of the marital property.
15 My client initially said that they were
16 trying to arrive at a 50/50 split, but later both partieD
17 testified that there was some give and take to arrive at
18 that figure. At no time during the negotiations, during the
19 four-party conference was it ever assumed that it would be
20 an exact 50/50 split. As a matter of fact, the number that
21 was proposed by my client was higher than 25,000, not
22 surprisingly, and Mr. Fulton's offer was lower than that.
23 And then the partiee agreed to $25,000.00.
24 My client has done everything she needed to
25 do to cooperate to effectuate the $25,000.00 payout to her,
66
~
~
1 which included signing the deed over to the property. It
2 also included executing some documents pursuant to his
3 mortgage requirement to refinance and to enter into a
4 Qualified Domestic Relations order, if that was the only way
5 that she could receive that property.
6 Again, she's not aSking that you modify the
7 property settlement agreement, but only enforce it, to give
8 her the $20,000.00 that she had agreed to waive the interest
9 in the marital house, the pension, and the 401K plan. Your
10 Honor may come up with a reasonable and most rational way in
11 order to effectuate that transfer, but the bottom line is,
12 still my client negotiated her $20,000.00, period. And I
13 think it's clear in the contract, or in the property
14 settlement agreement, that it says, husband shall pay to
15 wife the eum of $20,000.00, period.
16 And then it says that she would cooperate by
17 entering into a Qualified Domestic Relations order, Which
18 was prepared by Mr. Fulton's counsel and submitted to the
19 Blue Cross and Blue Shield people for their approval. At
20 the time of their approval, there were no tax consequences
21 discussed, and the first time my client heard about the
22 poseible tax consequences was in early October, six months
23 after the signing of the property settlement and separation
24 agreement.
25 She relied on the terms of the parties'
67
3j
~
~
1 settlement agreement to give her $25,000.00, and she ended
2 up fulfilling her end of the bargain by signing over the
3 deed to the house and waiving these other items. As far as
4 the personalty is ooncerned, Mr. Fulton can't give a date,
5 any date, can't give a month, can't give a week as to when
6 the personalty was returned.
7 It's my client's position that that property
8 is either being l'etained by Mr. Fulton or he destroyed it
9 himself. In any event, she was to receive those items. If
10 Mr. Fulton wants to argue that you can't allow any oral
11 testimony or any modifioation to the agreement because of
12 paragraph number 20, it says that he, that Mr. Fulton should
13 return the personal property to my client.
14 It was outside of the terms of the agreement
15 that the parties agreed that it should be returned to her
16 parents' home for the eake of having any confrontation. My
17 client knows she did receive some items. Again, some of
18 them are for sentimental value only and don't have that much
19 of a monetary value, and she clearly would like to have the
20 property returned to her. In the event that it is not able
21 to be returned to her, if it has been destroyed, if it has
22 been dissipated, if it has been given to somebody else, or
23 if Mr. Fulton retained it, then she would like the monetary
24 equivalent.
25 THE COURT: Thank you. We'll take a brief
68
f"\
~
1 recess, and then I'll enter an order.
2 (Whereupon, a recess was taken at 3135 p.m.
3 and proceedings reconvened at 3:47 p.m.)
4 THE COURT: This is a very difficult case,
5 but I've done the best I can with it. We'll enter this
6 order.
7 (Whereupon, the following order of court was
8 entered. )
9 ORDER OF COURT
10 AND NOW, this 14th day of January, 1999, upon
11 consideration of Plaintiff's Petition To Enforce property
12 settlement and Separate Agreement, and following a hearing,
13 it is ordered and directed as follows:
14 1. within 45 days of the date of this order,
15 Defendant shall cause Plaintiff to receive the sum of
16 $20,000.00 net, by whatever means he finds most convenient.
17 2. within 45 days of the date of this order,

DISCUSSION
With respect to the interpretation of contrllcts, it has been said that "[t]he primary
object in the interpretation of any writing is to asccrtain IInd ellectuate the intent of the
parties. Wherc thc words of a contract are clear and unambiguous, its meaning is to be
ascertained in accordance with its plainly expressed intent." Warrell v. Greellfleld. 407 Pa,
Super, 600, 607, 595 A.2d 1308, 1312 (1991 }(citation omitted). "[A] written contract must
be construed liS II whole and the Pllrties' intentions must be ascertained Irom the elltire
Instrument ......Harrity v. Medical College of Pellllsylvallia Hospital. 439 PII. Super. 10, 21,
653 A.2d 5, 10 (1994).
When the tenns of II written contract arc c1eur, [II court]
will not rewrite it to give it II construction in conl1iet with the

when the language is umbiguous and the intention ofthe purties
cannot be reasonubly uscertuined Irom the lunguuge of the
writing alone, ... the udmission of orul tcstimony I is uuthorized I
to show both the intent of the purties und the circumstunces

"A contract Is ambiguous when it is reasonably cupuble of dillcrent interpretutlons."

1'. Mayo. 303 I'a. Supcr.298, 312. 449 A.2d 697, 704 (\982). Slated with more particularity,
thc parol cvidcnce rule is as follows:
The parol cvidcncc rule statcs Ihal. abscnt Iruud, accident. or
mistakc, parol evidcnce of a prior or contemporaneous orul

"[Tlhe purpose of thc parol evidcnce rule Is to prescrve the integrity of written
agrecments by refusing to pcnuit thc contructlng partlcs to uttempt to alter the import oftheir

With rcspcct to thc credibility ofwltncsses, thc rule uppllcablc to cases where a court

of WI additional sum for taxes. It was, In the court's view, a contingency which had not been
anticipated by the parties.
Considering the agreement as a whole, the court was of the view that the basic Intent
of the parties was that PlalntllT reccive the total Mun of $25.000.00 In settlement of her
interest in the marital estate, and that the source ofthls money was Incidental to that purpose
rather than detennlnative of It. 'Ille Jlllrol evidence which WllS received regarding the Pllrties'
Intent did not serve to vary the tenns of the contract, but to con linn and effectuate the desired
result. Nothing In the court's order purported to nile upon the tllX consequences of the
transaction, and the order lIlTorded Defendant the option of providing the funds promised
from any source.
In connection with the personal property, the issue was basically one of credibility,
which the court resolved In lbvor of PlalntilT. The valuation placed upon the hutch was
consistent with the testimony of PllIintllT and an earlier statement by Defendant, and was
based upon the best evidence which the parties presented on the subJec\.
For the foregoing reasons, the court entered the order dated January 14, 1999, from
which Defendant has appealed.

traatment of the QORO benefilto be paid to Rose Fulton as the Alternate Payee
of Robert Fulton.
We are enclosing the following information for your reference:
IRS Notice 97-11
IRS Publication 575. General Information - Qualified Domestic Relations Order
Special Tax Notice Regarding Program Payments
As indicated In the IRS Notice, a QORO cannot designate who will be liable for
the taxes owed when retirement benefits are paid. Also, the Program's Special
Tax Notice is enclosed which is based on the IRS safe harbor explanation of the
information required by Internal Revenue Code Section 402(f). As the Program
administrator, we are required to provide a written explanation to recipients of
distributions eligible for rollover treatment.
, Page 4 of the Special Tax notice provides that the rules that apply to payments to
employees also apply to former spouses who are "alternate payees'. Under the
IRS rollover rules that apply to employees and alternate payee's, certain
distributions from qualified retirement plans are considered "eligible roltover
distributions". If an eligible rollover distribution is paid directly to an alternate
payee (and not rolled over to another qualified retirement program or individual
retirement account (IRA)), then 20% of the amount Is to be withheld for taxes.
Ms. Fulton should consult with a tax advisor before she elects to receive this
distribution.
In response to your October 5 leller, if Ms Fulton elects to have the QORO
distribution paid directly to her and does not elect a direct rollover to a qualified
plan or IRA, then 20% will be withheld and sent to the IRS to be credited toward
her tax liability. Her payment will be BO% of $20,000 or a net payment of
$16,000. Alternatively, If she elects a direct rollover of the QDRO distribution to a
qualified plan or IRA, a payment of $20,000 will be made from the Program and

Dear Ms. Deily:
This is in response to your letter dated October 5, 1998 regarding the tax
treatment of the QDRO benefit to be paid to Rose Fulton as the Alternate Payee

We are enclosing the following information for your reference:

As Indicated In the IRS Notice, a QDRO cannot designate who will be liable for

, paga 4 of the Special Tax notice provides that the rules that apply to payments to
amployees also apply to formar spouses who are "alternate payees". Under the
IRS rollover rules that apply to employees and alternate payee's, certain
distribullons from qualified retirement plans are considarad "eligible rollovar

proceeding with the indignities count for divorce,
This is to advise you that we are proceeding under a 3301(d)
divorce, as the parties will have been separated for two years once
we get to the Master.
I will withdraw my indignities count once this has been
scheduled for a Master's hearing, My cl ient would like to keep
this moving, so I am hoping that we may still be able to file Pre-
Trial Statements on or before August 11, 1997.

vs. : NO. 95 - 6358 CIVIL
:
ROBERT K. FULTON,
Defendant IN DIVORCE
RE: Pre-Hearing Conference Memorandum
DATE: Friday, November 21, 1997
Present for the Plaintiff, Rose M. Fulton, is
attorney Johnna J. Deily, and present for the Defendant, Robert
K. Fulton, is attorney John Wesley Weigel, III.
A divorce complaint was filed on November 6, 1995,
raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the
marriage. It appears, at least at the present time, that the
Defendant will not agree to a consent divorce under Section
3301(c); therefore, attorney Deily is going to file an affidavit
under Section 3301(d) averring that the parties have been
separated for a period in excess of two years, since November 1,
1995. The parties were married on September 10, 1976.
There was one child born of the marriage, sandra,
who is legally emancipated. She is living with the mother.
The complaint that was filed also raised the
economic claim of equitable distribution. No claime for alimony
o~ ~mmsel and expenses have been raised by either party.
A petition for counseling was filed on December 14,
1995, and Judge Bayley issued a rule to show cause. After that
petition the parties did engage in counseling but the rule was
never made absolute; there is no requirement that any report
from the counselor be filed since the counseling was not orderod
by the Court.
Wife is 51 years of age and resides at 411 North
Betord street, carlisle, Pennsylvania, in an apartment where she
livee with the daughter. Wife is a high school graduate with
some college credits. She currently works as a project
coordinator for National Health Systems and reports an annual
gross income of $36,500.00. Wife is not receiving any spousal
support or alimony pendente lite. Wife has not raieed any
health issues. Counsel for wife indicated that she believes her
client has medical insurance coverage through her employment.
Husband is 47 years of age and resides at 1037
Wayne Avenue, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he lives alone, He
is a high school graduate and works as a HVAC technician for
Capital Blue Cross. He reports his not monthly income at
$1,910.00 and his gross income monthly at $2,930.00. Husband
has not raised any health issuee,
The parties own real estate at 1037 Wayne Avenue,
Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Because the parties cannot agree on the
value of the real estate, the Master directs that the property
be appraised. Mr. Fulton is to allow access to an appraiser to
be selected by the parties or if they cannot agree, by wife who
is paying for the appraisal, The appraisal will be done within
the next month.
The property is subject to two mortgages, one in
favor of Financial Trust corporation with a payoff as of August
17, 1997, of $35,747,00. The second mortgage is in favor of
Dauphin Deposit Bank and Trust Company and the payoff as of
August 13, 1997, was $9,976.00
Husband at separation had a savings and checking
account at Member's 1st and counsel are going to attempt to
agree on the amounts in those accounts. Wife had a savings
account at Member's 1st of $2,647.62 at separation and a CD
which represented her payout on her retirement from her prior
employer which is currently worth around $11,000.00. Counsel
should be able to establish the exact numbere in the accounts
using statements that would be available around the date of
separation.
Attorney Deily has inquired about the eKistence of
a joint checking account at Member's 1st although she has not
provided any information as to any value for that account.
Counsel are going to attempt to verify whether or not that
account existed and what the date of separation value was in
that account and who got the benefit of that account.
Tho partioe reported three vehicles on the
pro-trial statements. Husband is in tho possession of a
Kawasaki motorcycle which both counsel agree has a value of
$800,00. Husband has a 1993 Ford Ranger which has a value of
$7,000.00 Which counsel will agree on but is subject to a lien.
Mr. Weigel is going to determine the amount of that lien so we
can get a net valUe for the Ford Ranger. Wife has a 1992 Ford
Tempo and counsel agree that the value of that vehicle is
$4,900,00.
Wife's counsel brought a check to the conference
today for $885.17 which was a refund of an unused escrow account
and Mr. Fulton endorsed the chock so it could be placed in an
interest bearing account pending the final resolution of this
case.
Husband is a participant in the capital Blue Cross
Employees' Savings Plan, counsel are going to provide a
etatement close to the date of separation and then counsel can
apply an interest factor to add growth to the marital portion in
that account from the date of separation to the date of hearing.
Husband was also a participant in the Pennsylvania
state Employee's Retirement system and counsel are going to
attempt to arrive at a value for that pension. If they cannot
agree, then the pension will be valued by an expert to establish
the date of hearing value, Apparently, according to counsel,
husband made no contributions to that account following the date
of separation of the parties.
with respect to the household tangible personal
property, wife has provided a list of items which she would like
to have returned to her. Both parties are going to attempt to
agree on a distribution of the property and then counsel can
determine if they need to have the property valued if there is
some question as to whether or not a value for each of the
parties should be used in the equitable distribution
computation. There is a question as to the value of a gun
collection which husband has. Husband's counsel has indicated
that husband claims most of the collection was either premarital
or was acquired as a result of gifts to him from family and
friends. In any event, even if we have a finding that a number
of the guns were nonmarital we still have an increase in value
issue.
The only marital debts reported on the pre-trial
statements were the two mortgages and a comment about a credit
card. After review with counsel it was determined that wife has
paid around $250.00 in marital debt since the date of separation
for which she would be entitled to some credit, Those charges
were made on a Visa account, Mastercard account, and a Bon-Ton
account.
.
.
A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, 1998,
at 9100 a.m. Notices will be sent to counsel and the parties.
