Background
The parties submitted the instant case fully stipulated,
without trial, pursuant to Rule 122. The parties’ stipulations
of facts are hereby incorporated by this reference and are found
as facts in the instant case.3
Petitioners were residents of Pennsylvania when they
petitioned this Court. On April 25, 1977, petitioners were
married in Buchanan, Georgia. Three children were born of
petitioners’ marriage: Charles R. Hawley (born September 7,
1978), Katherine G. Hawley (born July 9, 1980), and Margaret G.
Hawley (born August 25, 1983).
On September 22, 1990, petitioners separated and thereafter
were not members of the same household. On October 23, 1990, Ms.
Gilbert sued Mr. Hawley for divorce. On October 25, 1990, Mr.
Hawley answered and counterclaimed against Ms. Gilbert for
divorce. At the time petitioners initiated the divorce
proceedings, they were residents of Schuylkill County,
Pennsylvania.
On February 4, 1992, the Court of Common Pleas of Schuylkill
County entered an agreement and order of support (hereinafter the
February 4, 1992, separation instrument), which stated:
3Respondent objects on grounds of relevance to stipulations
12, 13, and 23. Both Ms. Gilbert and respondent object on
grounds of relevance to stipulation 25. This Court finds these
objections to be moot because this Court does not rely upon those
stipulations in reaching our decision.
