comes the Plaintiff, Michael R. Prettyman, by and through his
attorney, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire, and files the above
captioned response as follows:
1. It is admitted that the Petitioner is Christina G.
Prettyman who resides in the martial residence located at 546
Appalachian Avenue, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania with the
parties' child.
2. It is admitted that the Respondent is Michael R.
Prettyman, who resides at 126 West Portland Street, Apartment
11, Mechanicsburg, pennsylvania.
3. It is admitted that the parties are husband and
wife, having been jointed in marriage on June 7, 1975.
4. It is admitted that the parties separated on or
about October 13, 1995 when the Respondent left the marital
residence.

5. It is admitted that the parties are the parents of a
minor daughter, Megan Christine Prettyman, born March 8, 1990,
which daughter was adopted as an infant and since that
adoption the petitioner has not been employed outside the
home.
. ... .." _ 10
.....;..
6. It is admitted that the subsequent to the parties'
separation on or about November 6, 1995, the Respondent
advised the Petitioner that he was intending to liquidate the
parties' Series EE Bonds to payoff certain marital debts. It
is further averred, however, that he also told her at said
time that he was going to cash in Life Insurance Policies, as
well as other specified marital assets in order to payoff
specified marital debts.
7. Denied. It is denied that the Respondent did not
consult with the Petitioner for obtaining her permission and
taking over control of liquidate assets or at these assets had
a value of $38,000.00. On the contrary the Respondent
believes and therefore avers that a discussion was held
between the parties' pertaining to the actions that the
Respondent intended to take by liquidating the marital assets
set forth in the preceding paragraph 6 as due the parties
separation there was not sufficient income with which to meet
all of the parties' marital obligations and run two separate
households. After having informed the Petitioner of these
intentions, the Petitioner did not inform or indicate to the
Respondent that he could not take this action and the
Respondent right fully assumed her agreement thereto. It is
further averred that assets liquidated by the Respondent did
not equal $38,000.00, but rather $30,034.00 which were
DIANE G. RADCLIFF
ATTORNEY.AT.LAW

itemized and set forth in a letter to the petitioner from the
Respondent's counsel dated November 20, 1995, a true and
I
I
correct copy of which is attached hereto marked Exhibit "A"
and made a part hereof.
8. It is admitted that for approximately 13 years prior
to February 28, 1996, the Respondent was the President and CEO
of Members First Federal Credit Union. It is denied that he
was terminated from said job as he resigned therefrom based on
mutual agreement of the Board of Directors and himself.
9. Is admitted that as a part of a severance package
the Respondent requested the payment of certain assets which
were set forth in his letter to Members First Federal Credit
Union attached as Exhibit "A" to the Petition for Relief
~
including, but not limited the Thrift Saving Account, accrued
and unused vacation time, 14% bonus pay, certain rights under
the retirement plan and a contribution of pay for a period of
14 months. It is averred, however, that the bonus pay, a
portion of unused vacation time, a earned post separation
portion of his retirement plan and deferred compensation plan
and earned post separation and any severance pay to which he
had no entitlement prior to separation are non.marital
property and therefore are not subject to any injunctive
relief.
10. It is admitted that the Petitioner is in control of
certain other marital assets including, but not limited to a
DIANE G. RADCLIFF

Certificate of Deposit which comes due soon and IRA accounts
which the Petitioner and avers an approximate value of about
$20,000.00. It is further averred that the Petitioner has
t

Uti TRINDLF. ROAn
CAMP lULL. PA 17011
" .~ :
control and possession of the parties marital residence which
has an estimated value of approximately $200,000.00.
11. The Respondent believes and therefore avers that
the averment set forth in paragraph 11 of Petitioners,
petition for Special does not require an Answer or Response.
12. The Petitioner admits that there are certain life
insurance policies that were acquired during the course of the
marriage, one of which was the New York Life insurance policy
cashed in by the Respondent in November, 1995, so as to pay
the marital obligations set forth above, which policy had a
cash value of approximately $2,400.00. It is further averred
that there are two other policies, one being a universal
policy with State Farm with the Respondent as the owner having
a cash value of approximately $2,000.00 and one owned by the
petitioner with New York Life having a cash value of
approximately $3,000.00. The Respondent has not withdrawn any
of the cash value from any of those remaining policies and has
no intention of doing so and is not opposed to any injunction
being entered prohibiting either party from cashing in said
policies. The Respondent, however, does protest and deny any
requirement requiring him to continue to make payments on the
aforementioned policies or to keep them in full and effect, as
his ability to do so is dependent upon the income level that
he maintains.
WHEREFORE, the petitioner respectfully request this
Honorable Court to deny the Petitioner's request for
, . 4
"- . .' '.J'V
injunctive relief pertaining to the non.marital portion of
his, unused vacation pay, bonus pay and severance pay and to
deny the petitioner's request for him to continue to make the
payment on his life insurance policies.
