9. The parties are the parents of two Children: Jayson Kyle
Baker, born on December 21, 1986, age 14 and Courtney Anna
Baker, born on January 21, 1991, age 9.
10. On August 25, 1997, an Order of Court was entered by Judge
Oler pertaining to custody of the Children: A true and
correct copy of said Order is attached hereto, marked Exhibit
"AU and made a part hereof. In that Order the parties share
legal custody of the Children and Mother had primary physical
custody of the Children
11. The August 25, 1997 Order was a modification of the Order
entered on May 1, 1996, a true and correct copy of which is
-6 -
attached hereto, marked Exhibit "8" and made a part hereof.
12. An emergency exists that requires the immediate attention of
the Court and/or the Order of Court dated August 27, 1997
should be modified because:
a. Mother originally moved to Wisconsin with both of the
Children in September of 1997;
b.
Father moved to Wisconsin to be
Children in November of 1997 and his
approximately 15 miles from Mother's
Wisconsin;
with and near the
residence there was
former residence in
c. Father has started a new business in Wisconsin and lives
with his girlfriend at his aforementioned address;
d. Custody of the son and oldest Child, Jayson Kyle Baker,
was transferred to Father in September of 1998, who
continues to retain custody of that Child to the present
date;
e. Mother remarried and has two Children from her second
marriage but separated from her husband in the later part
of the year 2000 and a divorce action is pending between
them in Wisconsin. It is believed that she has an
agreement with her current Husband to return their
children to his residence at least one time per month.
It is pointed out, however, that those children are only
age one (1) and two (2) and therefore there are no
concerns about schooling;
f. The parties orally agreed that Father would have partial
custody of the daughter on alternating weekends and
alternating holidays during the summer. In the beginning
of November of 2000 his weekend time was expanded to
almost every weekend and Father had been exercising until
- 7-
Mother left Wisconsin;
g. In September of 2000 Mother informed Father of her desire
to re locate to Pennsylvania and Father responded that
while he had no problem with a relocation, given his new
business and relationship he could not immediately
relocate and thdt he wanted her to remain in Wisconsin
until the end of the school year when both paren~s could
relocate to Pennsylvania. In the alternative, Father
suggested that Mother leave both Children with him until
the end of the school year and Mother could then relocate
immediately;
h. On December 25, 2000, Christmas Day, without and against
the wishes of Father, without any prior notice or warning
to him or any family member, and in violation of the
shared legal custody provisions of the August 25, 1997
Order, Mother left Wisconsin and relocated to
Pennsylvania without telling Father or anyone else that
she was leaving and has since concealed the whereabouts
of herself and the parties' Child, Courtney Anna Baker
and has not provided Father with his regularly exercised
partial custody r.ights;
i. Mother did not secure the permission of Father or of the
court to relocate back to Pennsylvania from Wisconsin;
j , Before relocating to Pennsylvania, Mother made no attempt
to look for employment or other means which would permit
the Child, Courtney Anna Baker, to continue to live in
Wisconsin and maintain close contact with Father.
k. Before relocating to Pennsylvania, Mother ~.de no effort
to establish alternate partial custody rights for father
given the distance involved.
1. By Mother's relocation back to Pennsylvania, Father has
been effectively denied any contact with his daughter and

I resides in either Wisconsin or Pennsylvania and for whom the Plaintiff does not have a precise
illawful address. Plaintiff believes he may be contacted through his father, Thomas Baker, who
II resides at 130 Wesley Drive in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
II 3. Plaintiff and Defendant are the parents of two minor children, Jason Kyle Baker, age 14,
! born 21 December 1986, and Courtney Ann Baker, age 10, born 21 January 1991. Both of the
I
I
I said children are the subject of prior orders entered in this matter and both currently reside with
r
Plaintiff.
4. On 26 March 200 I, following a conciliation conference, the Court entered an order
awarding shared legal custody and setting a partial schedule for physical custody of the two minor
children. A copy of that order is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A.
5. The order dated 26 March 2001 never made clear which parent was to have primary
physical custody of the children and, as a result, the said order needs clarification.
6. Since the order of 26 March 2001 was entered, the circumstances of the parties and the
children have changed, which mandate a modification of that order. The changes in the parties'
circumstances include:

2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on January 22, 2002, with the
following indilliduals in attendance: the Mother, Felicia N. Beihoff, and her counsel, Samuel L.
Andes, Esquire. The Father did not attend, nor did counsel on his behalf.
3. The Conference was scheduled pursuant to Mother's Petition to Modify filed on
NOllember 8, 2001. The Conference had been rescheduled from December 17, 2001, due to
the illness of the parties' daughter and serious illness of the Defendant's Mother. At that time
counsel for the Plaintiff represented that the Defendant concurred with the Continuance.
Subsequent to the Continuance being granted, on or about January 7, 2002, Plaintiff's counsel
mailed a copy of the Order scheduling a Conference for January 22, 2002, to the Defendant at
the last address prollided to Plaintiff's counsel in December 2001, by first class United States
mail. That mail had not been returned as of the date of the Conciliation Conference.
4. The Conciliator met with Plaintiffs counsel and Plaintiff for approximately twenty-
fille minutes, prolliding some time for Father to arrille in the ellent that he was running late.
Howeller, Father did not arrille. Mother reports that the parties' younger Child is undergoing
serious and complicated medical interventions at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
Therefore, she feels that it is particularly important to halle an Order confirming that she is the
responsible decision maker on behalf of this Child, Accordingly, the Conciliator recommends
a Temporary Order of Court as attached which shall be subject to modification upon Petition
by the DefendanUFather. The Order also requires Plaintiffs counsel to make reasonable
efforts to serve the DefendanUFather with a copy of the Order in the ellent that a new address
would be made allailable for Father. Plaintiff represents that she has had only two telephone

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:

2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on January 22, 2002, with the
following individuals in attendance: the Mother, Felicia N. Beihoff, and her counsel, Samuel L.
Andes, Esquire. The Father did not attend, nor did counsel on his behalf.
3. The Conference was scheduled pursuant to Mother's Petition to Modify filed on
November B, 2001. The Conference had been rescheduled from December 17, 2001, due to
the illness of the parties' daughter and serious illness of the Defendant's Mother. At that time
counsel for the Plaintiff represented that the Defendant concurred with the Continuance.
Subsequent to the Continuance being granted, on or about January 7, 2002, Plaintiffs counsel
mailed a copy of the Order scheduling a Conference for January 22, 2002, to the Defendant at
the last address provided to Plaintiffs counsel in December 2001, by first class United States
mail. That mail had not been returned as of the date of the Conciliation Conference.
4. The Conciliator met with Plaintiffs counsel and Plaintiff for approximately twenty-
five minutes, providing some time for Father to arrive In the event that he was running late.
However, Father did not arrive. Mother reports that the parties' younger Child is undergoing
serious and complicated medical interventions at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
Therefore, she feels that it is particularly important to have an Order confirming that she is the
responsible decision maker on behalf of this Child. Accordingly, the Conciliator recommends
a Temporary Order of Court as attached which shall be subject to modification upon Petition
by the DefendantlFather. The Order also requires Plaintiffs counsel to make reasonable
efforts to serve the Defendant/Father with a copy of the Order In the event that a new address
would be made available for Father. Plaintiff represents that she has had only two telephone
No. 96-1395 - Civil Term
calls since December 26, 2001. Plaintiff reports that at that time the Defendant claimed to
have been In Wisconsin and planned to stay there.

2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on January 22, 2002, with the
following individuals in attendance: the Mother, Felicia N. Beihoff, and her counsel, Samuel L.
Andes, Esquire. The Father did not attend, nor did counsel on his behalf.
3. The Conference was scheduled pursuant to Mother's Petition to Modify filed on
November 8,2001. The Conference had been rescheduled from December 17, 2001, due to
the illness of the parties' daughter and serious illness of the Defendant's Mother. At that time
counsel for the Plaintiff represented that the Defendant concurred with the Continuance.
Subsequent to the Continuance being granted, on or about January 7, 2002, Plaintiffs counsel
mailed a copy of the Order scheduling a Conference for January' 22, 2002, to the Defendant at
the last address provided to Plaintiffs counsel in December 2001, by first class United States
mail. That mail had not been returned as of the date of the Conciliation Conference.
4. The Conciliator met with Plaintiffs counsel and Plaintiff for approximately twenty-
five minutes, providing some time for Father to arrive in the event that he was running late.
However, 'Father did not arrive. Mother reports that the parties' younger Child is undergoing
serious and complicated medical interventions at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
Therefore, she feels that it is particularly important to have an Order confirming that she is the
responsible decision maker on behalf of this Child. Accordingly, the Conciliator recommends
a Temporary Order of Court as attached which shall be subject to modification upon Petition
by the DefendanUFather. The Order also requires Plaintiffs counsel to make reasonable
efforts to serve the DefendanUFather with a copy of the Order in the event that a new address
would be made available for Father. Plaintiff represents that she has had only two telephone

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8. the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the children who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Jason Kyle Baker
Courtney Ann Baker
December 21, 1986 Mother

2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on October 8, 2002 pursuant to
Father's request for a Petition to modify the Customer(sic) Order filed on August 29, 2002.
Present for the conference were the Father. Jay R. Baker. pro se; the Mother. Felicia A.
Beihoff. and her counsel, Samuell. Andes. Esquire. Father petitioned for a modification of
the present Order with his goal as having the Court to require Mother to move to Wisconsin
so that the children would have more frequent and consistent contact with their Father and
so that the Fathers could maintain their present employment positions. Father alleges that
Mother has two other children to another father. These children are also subject to a
Custody Order that provides for Mother to take them to Wisconsin to see their father
periodically. Father further alleges that Mother has repeatedly interrupted his periods of
partial custody and has failed to retum the parties' son to his primary custody at his request
despite her purported agreement to do so.
3. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother does not agree to
move to Wisconsin. She is presently enrolled in a Physician's Assistant program at the
Harrisburg Area Community College. She reports that she is half-way through this program
which she intends to complete through a combination of courses at Penn State Middletown
Campus and the Hershey Medical Cl3nter. She is also employed with Health Corp part-time
while she is finishing up her credits at HACC. Mother reports that the parties' daughter
Courtney is presently receiving specialized medical care through a Pediatric Neurologist. Dr.
,
. NO. 96-1J95 ~IV[L 1~KM
Monroe at Hershey Medical Center. He is apparently treating her for Mastoid Disease and
headaches. The children are presently enrolled at school in the Mechanicsburg School
District. Jason is presently being evaluated for the presence of a learning disability. For all
these reasons, Mother believes that it would not be in the children's best interests to require
her to move in order to facilitate Father's periods of partial custody.
Additionally, Mother reports that within the last month there was an incident between
Father and Jason where Jason was accused by Father of stealing Marijuana from Father.
Mother reports that Jason was beaten by his Father and caused a concussion for which he
received medical treatment. Jason apparently missed one week of school following this
incident. Courtney was also apparently present during this incident. A Children and Youth
Report has been made, however, the outcome is not known to the Conciliator or Counsel.
As a result of this incident. Mother reports that the children do not want to see the Father.
Jason is presently attending Gaudenzia and receiving outpatient, individual and group
therapy. The report from the treatment provider at Gaudenzia is that his attitude is positive
and that he is actively participating in treatment. Mother also represents that the children
have reported to her that Father is using marijuana during their periods of custody and has
made comments to them that have led them to believe he may be selling other drugs.
Mother requests that until such time as Father has received an evaluation and treatment for
anger management. that visits with the children be suspended.
4. Inasmuch s the parties have not reached an agreement for the modification of
the Order and counsel for the Mother intends to file a Petition to Modify Custody and
suspend Father's periods of partial custody, a Hearing will be scheduled before the Court.
In light of the allegations that Father has made in his Petition that he was not given
notice of a February 22. 2002 Custody Conciliation Conference and his further allegation
that the Defendant has always known his precise lawful address at which to serve him, the
Conciliator obtained agreement of all parties that in the absence of notice to the court to the
contrary, addresses listed in Father's August 29, 2002 Petition shall be presumptively
correct for the purpose of service of process. Father was specifically instructed that if there
were to be any need to change his address for purposes of service, he would need to notify
the Court.

IN CUSTODY
Defendant
PETITION TO SUSPEND AND MODIFY CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the court to suspend and modify its prior order in this matter, based upon the
following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Mother of the two minor children involved in this
action, The Respondent herein is the Father.
2. In June of 2002, following a custody conciliation conference, this court entered
an order granting Mother primary physical custody of the children and setting a schedule
01 time for Father to have temporary custody of them.
3. In September of 2002, during one of the Father's periods of temporary custody,
he assaulted the older child, Jayson, beating him about the face and head and causing
sarious medical injuries, including a concussion, The beating took place in the presence of
the younger child, Courtney, who was terrorized, frightened and upset by the experience.
4. Mother believes that the Father uses illegal drugs on a regular and frequent
basis and has acknowledged that use to the children.
5. Because of the Father's conduct, Mother believes that his periods of temporary
custody with the children should be suspended until the Father obtains some counseling,
some anger control therapy, and some drug testing or rehabilitation.
6, Allowing the children in the temporary custody of the Father constitutes a threat
to their physical and emotional well-being and safety.
