DEFENDANT : 08-1914 CIVIL TERM
IN RE: EXCEPTIONS OF DEFENDANT TO THE REPORT
OF THE DIVORCE MASTER
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Bayley, J., September 28, 2009:--
Teri L. Ilgen and Bernard A. Ilgen were married on May 7, 2001. They separated in
September, 2005. Husband still lives in the jointly owned marital residence at 933 South
Michael Road, Saint Marys, Elk County, Pennsylvania. On June 21, 2008, the home was
appraised at $180,000. There is no mortgage on the property.
Wife sought equitable distribution of marital property. A hearing was held before the
Cumberland County Divorce Master. Husband did not participate. The Master filed a Report
recommending that the divorce be granted pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. Section 3301(d) of the
Divorce Code, along with recommendation for the equitable distribution of marital property.
Husband filed exceptions to the proposed economic order. All of the exceptions were fact
based. The issues were briefed and argued on September 9, 2009. Under Cumberland
County Rule of Court 1028(c)(6), pertaining to argument court: “Issues raised, but not briefed,
shall be deemed abandoned.” The only issues briefed by defendant are:
The Defendant’s residence, 933 S. Michael Road, Saint Marys, Pa. was
illegally entered during multiple break ins [sic] from April 2008 to August 2008,
by the Plaintiff, Teri L. Parana. During these break ins [sic], property was taken,
property was destroyed, and legal and financial documents stolen or destroyed,
causing more financial hardship to the Defendant.
08-1914 CIVIL TERM
On June 12, 2009, a Divorce Master’s report was filed and contained
false statements made by Plaintiff, Teri L. Ilgen and should be subjected to the
penalties.
There is no evidence in the record to support either exception. Accordingly, we will
dismiss defendant’s exceptions to the Divorce Master’s Report. Concurrent with the entry of a
1
decree in divorce, the following economic order is entered.
