I, the Defendant in this, have two Counts from my soon-to-be Ex-Wife's lawyer regarding Divorce.
Count I: DIVORCE UNDER SECTION 3301(c) OR (d) OF THE DIVORCE CODE

The 3301(a)(6) grounds were probably included in case you weren't agreeable to signing for a no fault divorce. In PA, you're allowed to included seemingly conflicting grounds in your requests for divorce in the complaint. It's perfectly acceptable to then ultimately proceed under one of the two.

With Arbitration complete, Defendants file Petition to Confirm Contractual Arbitration Award while Plaintiff files to Vacate - do both parties still need to respond to each others Petition in addition to each submitting their own?

answered on May 23, 2023
Cross-Petitions to Confirm and Vacate do need to respond to the extent possible, to the claims of the other party. The burden is on the party seeking to vacate, therefore, in addition to demonstrating (in the Petition to Vacate) the grounds for vacatur, the allegations of the Petition to Confirm... View More

I’m bothered by the word “findings.”
Generally speaking, a private investigator would be called as a witness and is able to testify from personal knowledge what he did, what he saw, what an adverse party told him, and what other people said which may be an exception to the hearsay rule.
They backed out 2days after contracts were signed for no reason, shouldn't I just be given the hand money? Can I use the cheaper small claims court?

A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One possibility, and it's only a general guess, is that the contract has a provision requiring disputes to be submitted to arbitration (as opposed to the parties being free to use traditional courts).

Let me unpack your question since there are a few parts. First, I understand that the opposing party has filed a Petition/Motion to confirm the Award and you want to vacate the Petition. Yes, you file in the same case (which is brought to confirm) in order to vacate the Award. The law is that, if a... View More

I would suggest asking the mediator to file a certificate with the Court indicating that you attempted to schedule the mediation and paid your portion of the fees. If that does not occur, then I would file a status report with the Court stating everything you have done up to this point. Regarding... View More
