4, Respondent Dina Notarianni Barbush (Mother) resides at 1711 Wyndham Road, Camp
Hill, Pennsylvania 17011.
5, The parties are the parents and grandparents of Angelo Notarianni Barbush born on
March 24, 1991.
6. Throughout the minor child's life, Mother has continually impeded and hindered Father's
visitation with his son,
7, In 1994, Petitioner was forced to retain a Pennsylvania attorney to aid him in obtaining
visitation in which the parties stipulated that Father could have supervised visitation of
the ehild in the presence of Pate mal Grandfather and Paternal Great-Grandfather,

In 1995, Petitioner was forced to retain a New York attorney to aid him in obtaining
visitation afthe child when Respondent moved to New York.
In 1996, Petitioner retained a Pennsylvania attorney to aid him in obtaining visitation of
his son when Respondent returned to Pennsylvania,
Despite nurnerous court orders. Respondent continuously denies paternal grandparents
and Father meaningful ..isitation with the minor child,
During a hearing on December 16, 1996. the parties reached an agreement conceming
grandparenl~ and Father's visitation,
This counsel sent numerous proposed stipulations to Mother for her signature which were
not executed by Mother,
Father gives Mother adequate notice of his visitation, yet Mother repeatedly makes
excuses which severely limits his visitation,
Paternal Grandmother and Patemal Grandfather repeatedly attempt to exercise visitation
with their grandson which is repeatedly denied,
Mother either fails to return phone calls or makes excuses,
Father was in town for a visit and few weeks ago and he and Paternal Grandparents asked
Mother the location of the T-Ball game in which the child was participating because they
wanted to attend the game,
Mother vehemently opposed their attendance stthe game and therefore Father and
Paternal Grandparents did not press the issue with Mother in fear that Mothe.' would put
the child in an awkward position,
Mother has done everything in her power to discourage visitation between the minor
child and his Father and Paternal Grandparents.
Mother and Father were supposed to attend a meeting together with the Psychologist, Dr,
Riegler. during Father's last visit
Mother canceled at the last minute, thus, Father attended alone,

21. Mother discourages visitation with Paternal Grandfather and Paternal Grandmother even
though Mother originally in 1994 required Father to exercise his visitation with Paternal
Grandmother and allowed Paternal Grandfather to babysit the child.
22. Father resides in California and thus it is diftjeult for him to nltend a hearing in light of
his past nltempts to resolve these malters.
23, Patemal Grandparents may be unavailable for a hearing as they may be out of state this
summer,
24, Pa,R,C,P, Rule 1930,3 allows the use of telephone testimony in all domestic relations
malters upon good cause shown,
25, Father and Paternal Grandparents have patiently altempted to resolve these issues,
however, Mothcr is unwilling to allow thcm any meaningful visitation,
26, It would be in the child's best interests to have the hearing as soon as possible so that he
may have stress-free, meaningful contact with his Father and his Paternal Grandparents,
27, Due to the vexatious and obdurate conduct of Mother, Father and Paternal Grandparents
have incurred altorneys' fees and costs,
Wherefore Father and Paternal Grandparents respectfully request that this Honorable
Court schedule a hearing in this malter as soon as possible, allow the taking of telephone
testimony, adjudge Mother in contempt and require Mother to pay Father and Paternal
Grandparents reasonable allorneys' fl:es and costs,

DINA NOTARIANNI BARBUSH
ORDIR or COURT
AND NOW, this 23rd day of JULY, 1997, after review of the
petition dated July 3, 1997, the Court sets a hearing for
Wednesday, September 3, 1997, at 9100 a,m. in Courtroom * 1.
If I find that the mother has refused to execute an
agreement which WAS entered into between her and her counsel at
the hearing before me on December 16, 1996, I intend to make her
pay counsol fees for Douglas C, Stoup and also other costs
related to the case. I would a180 ask that a copy of the
agreement which mother has refused to sign be produced at the
hearing.
It is unreasonable to require the father again to come from
California to attend a hearing where only partial custody is
sought by the father and some periods of partial custody with the
patornal grandpar~nts, Pursuant to Pa, R,C.P. 1930.3, I will
permit telephone testimony to be taken of the father if he does
not wish to attend the hearing. I would ask the paternal
grandparents to appear in person since they are county residents.

hereto, Father Ir,dlcated that the Mother did not comply with the order and did not
allow him to have the time scheduled in the order, The Father petitioned for a more
specific schedule find requested that he be permitted a total of five weeks over the
course of the year,
The Mother interpreted the order differently than the Father, and also
determined that the child was not reacting well to the visitation, She also
maintains that the Father has not complied with the order either,
This is a case whereby the parties do not get along at all, They have
litigated the matter in New York but because of the open-ended nature of the ord!lr
in New York, the order was completely ineffective. Mother relocated to
Pennsylvania and it is necessary that a very well-defined specific schedule be put in

subject of this litigation is as follows:
NAME
BIRTHDATE
CURRENTLY IN
CUSTODY OF
Angelo Notarianni Barbush
24 March 1991
Defendant
2, A Conciliation Conference was held on 27 June 1996, end the following
individuals were present: the Plaintiff and their attorney, Emily Hoffman, Esquire.
The Defendant appeared pro se,
3. Items resolved by agreement: None
4, Issues yet to be resolved: An ultimate custody schedule.
1
6. The Plaintiff's position on custody Is as follows; Thf) Plaintiff Douglas
Stoup, natural father, lives in California and wants to have a schadule which would
allow him to have five weeks of visitation spread out through the course of the
year. The weeks would not be consecutive at this time, Given the age of the
child, the Father would agree that the visitations occur in Ponnsylvanla for the time
being, but that eventually within the next two years, that they occur outslda of the
state,
The Plaintiffs James H, Stoup and Carol McConnell, who are the paternal
grandparents of the child, ere requesting contact with the child for sevaral hours
one day a month.
6, The Defendant's position on custody is as follows; The Defendant would
not provide a specific proposal to settle the case. She did Indicate that she would
be In agreement to the grandparents have tha visitation as requested provided that
they did not take the child out of Pennsylvania. When asked for a specific
schedule, she Indicated that she wanted to monitor how her child did on the
contacts and then determine what type of contact would be appropriate with the
Father.
7. Need for separate counsel to represent child: None requested,
2
8, Need for independent psychological evaluation or counseling: The
psychological avaluatlon would ba helpful, but both parties did not ralaa It or
request It.
9, A haaring in this matter is expacted to take one day,
10, Other matters and comments: This is a case that has been litigated In
two states. The parties entered a Stipulated Order in August, 1994, a copy of
which is ettached (Plaintiff's counsel did not have this information prior to filing the
Complaint), The parties then Iitigeted the custody issue in New York State which
subsequently entered an order In January, 1996, a copy of which is attached
hereto, Father Indicated that the Mother did not comply with the order and did not
allow him to have the time scheduled in the order, The Father petitioned for a more
specific schedule and requested that he be permitted a total of five weeks over the
course of the year.
The Mother interpreted the order differently than the Father, and also
determined that the child was not reacting well to the visitation, She also
maintains that the Father has not complied with the order either,
This is a case whereby the parties do not get along at all, They have
litigated the matter in New York but because of the open-ended nature of the order
in New York, the order was completely ineffective, Mother relocated to
Pennsylvania and it is necessary that a very well-defined specific schedule be put In
3
placIJ for these parties. On the one hand, the Mother must understand that when
the visitation Is to occur, she cannot unilaterally change those times given the fact
that the Father Is traveling in from California. On tha othar hend, the Father must
provide Mother with advanca notice of the dates and times In which he expects to
enter Pennsylvanls to exercise those visitation periods and must follow through
"
with that order, Absent e specific schedule In this case, the parties will continue to
litigate all issues,
