Plaintiff and Defendant ure husband and wife having been married at Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvuniu on March 20. 1994. 5. Prior to March 20, 1994, the parties hereto were residing in the State of New Jersey and the Plaintiff continued to reside in New Jersey after March 20, 1994 until on or about May 20, 1994 when he came to Pennsylvania to take up permanent residence with the Defendant. 6. On Muy 21, 1994 the Plaintiff. using his own personal funds, purchased a DeRose Mobile Home for a cOlISideration of $11.500.00. 7. Title to this Mobile Home was placed in the names of Plaintiff and Defendant; a true and correct copy of said Title is attached hcreto, made a part hereof, and marked Exhibit "A." 8. During August, 1994, the Defendunt with malice and totally without justification effectuated the removal of the Plaintiff by Court Order from the Mobile Home pursuant to the Protection From Abuse Act, 23 Pa. C.S.A. ~ 6101, et seq. 9. On or about September 23, 1994, the Defendant and Plaintiff resumed living together in the marital residence. 10. On or about April 11. 1995, the Defendant, again with malice and totally without justification, obtained a sccond Cumberland County Temporary Protection From Abuse Order thereby again effectuating the Court ordered removal of the Plaintiff from the marital residence, the subject Mobile Home. 11. As a result of the Defendant's fraudulent and malicious misappropriation of the Mobile Home and its furnishings to her exclusivc use the Plaintiff has been wrongfully excluded from his residence and dcnied thc use of and the access to the same and all its furnishings. 12. Immediately following the April II. 1995 Court ordered removal of the Plaintiff 2 from the marital residence, the Defendant took up residence in the subject Mobile Home with Monroe A. Yoder; Mr. Yoder is the Defendant's former husband. 13. The Defendant and Monroe A. Yoder reside together in the subject Mobile Home at present. 14. On April 24, 1995 the Defendant, as Plaintiff, filed a Complaint in Divorce against Plaintiff herein in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; a Divorce Decree has not yet been entered in this case. III. PARTITION 15. Paragraphs 1 through 14 of the Complaint are incorporuted herein by reference as if set forth at length. 16. As set out in Exhibit" A," attached hereto, Plaintiff and Defendant are owners of a DeRose Mobile Home and the interests of the parties are held as tenants by the entireties. 17.

No person other than the parties to this suit has any interest in the Mobile Home herein described, which is presently in the possession of and resided in by the Defendant and Monroe A. Yoder. 19. No partition or division of said premises has ever been made by the parties to this suit, although the Plaintiff has requested that the Defendant join him in making one. 20. The Defendant's appropriation of the Mobile Home to her own use, as hereinabove described, creates a revocation of the entireties estate thereby making this property fit for accounting and division. 3 21. The parties hereto prior to their marriage on March 20, 1994, entered into an oral understanding that the subject Mobile Home was not to be cOlISidered marital property as the Plaintiff would be providing all of the money necessary to purchase a Mobile Home in which Plaintiff and Defendant would reside.

MARK P. CONNELLY, Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA NO. 96-598 EQUITY v. SUSAN D, CONNELLY, Defendant . , . . IN PARTITION PRBLIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO COMPLAINT IN PARTITION AND NOW, comes Defendant, Susan D. Connelly, by and through her attorney, R. Mark Thomas, Esquire, and makes the following preliminary objections to the Plaintiff's Complaint in Partition: DEMURRER 1. On April 24, 1995, the Defendant herein filed a Complaint in Divorce which included a Count for Equitable Distribution of Marital Property which is indexed at No. 25-2069 in the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas. 2. On May 25, 1995, the Plaintiff herein filed an Answer to the Complaint in Divorce in which he admitted that there was marital property subject to equitable distribution. 3. The mobile home which is the subject of this Complaint in Partition is marital property subject to the equitable distribution which is set forth in the Complaint in Divorce and the Counterclaim. 4. Plaintiff's Complaint in Partition seeks an Order for partition of marital property which is already the subject of a dispute which is pending before the Cumberland County Divorce Master, and therefore the Complaint in Partition is not a cause of action. Pa.R.c.p. 1019(a). ,. WHEREFORE, Defendant prays that this Honorable Court will enter a jUdgment in favor of Defendant and against Plaintiff. KO'1'IOH TO STRIKB FOR LACK 01' COlfJ'ORHI'1'Y '1'0 LAW AND/OR RULB 01' COURT 5, Plaintiff's Complaint states in paragraph 18 that "no person other than the parties to this suit has any interest in the mobile home herein described,". 6. Monroe A. Yoder does have an interest in the mobile home by virtue of his payment of the outstanding balance which was due and owing on the mobile home. 7. Plaintiff has failed to include Monroe A. Yoder as a party to this action which is a failure on the part of the Plaintiff to include indispensable parties. 8. Because the Complaint fails to comply with Pa.R.C.p. 1553 and 1554 the Complaint is defective and therefore should be stricken. WHEREFORE, Defendant Susan Connelly prays this Honorable Court will strike the Plaintiff's Complaint for failure to include all necessary parties. Respectfully submitted, ~~~Z/~ R.
