RE: Austin Marshall
Dear Mr. Emery:
I am sending you a synopsis of my findings and resulting recommendations
regarding Austin Marshall. I met with the Marshall family on Saturday, July 19.
At that time, I Interviewed Susan Marshall and Austin In the morning and in the
afternoon Interviewed Jeffrey Marshall, re-Intervlewed Austin and Interviewed
Barry Dempsey, Susan's significant other.
Austin was Interviewed throughout the day, He also completed a couple of
custody-related Instruments Including Parent Report Cards on each of the
significant adults In his IIf'.! and responded to a "Would" Questionnaire which
presents a number of hypothetical situations wherein the child responds to what
he thinks his mother and/or father would do In response to those situations.
Susan provided background Information concerning the marriage and it's
subsequent failure and Jeffrey provided similar Information as well as his
experiences once he relocated to Florida after the parental separation In 1996. I
also reviewed caples of Austin's report cards from Palm City Elementary School.
Based on my findings, I am recommending that Austin return to Pennsylvania
to live with his natural mother, Austin Is very clear in his expressed preference at
this juncture for his father, seeing him in a very positive - almost Idealized - light.
His father received ail A's on the Parent Report Card suggesting that Austin
perceives his father to be perfect In every aspect with no weaknesses or
deficiencies, He may want me to support his preference to remain In the primary
physical custody of his father to be respected; however, It is not in his best
Interest at this time for him to remain with his natural father in Florida.
Although he and Susan apparently discussed relocation to Florida, Jeffrey
made the decision to leave with Austin after he finished school In the
spring/summer of 1996. I believe that Jeffrey viewed this relocation as a 'new
chance' - an opportunity for a new beginning for himself and his son. Jeffrey also
admitted that he was experiencing a void, an understandable loss related to the

demise 01 the marital relationship. It seems that he was aware that he and Susan
were In difficulty but her actual leaving had a profound emotional Impact on
Jeffrey. He describes It as "she abandoned the home when she left l&". This
suggests Jeffrey seeing Susan's behavior as leaving not only him but Austin .
whlch is contrary to the Inlormatlon provided by Susan. She expressed a
continuing Interest In and concern about Austin's adjustment and performance
from the time she left the marital home. She was In touch with Austin by phone
on a sustained, frequent basis and also was In contact with school personnel
regarding Austin's academic p,erformance. Jeffrey admitted that he was "going
through quite a depression'. It Is my bellel that he experienced some
disappointment in that his hopes and plans did not materialize for himself. When a
parent Is deprassed, the routine tasks of parenting can leave him or her even more
depleted, Jeffrey did what he could to be available for Austin and the times that
he was with his son, Austin and he benefited. However, his job responsbllltles
precluded Jeffrey for baing available to Austin some evenings and Saturdays
necessitating Jeffrey getting a babysitter for Austin. This seemed to result in
Austin not receiving the needed structure, focus and attention to complete his
malor task - his school responsibilities. It Is noted that Nora Pacheco, who lives
next door to Jeffrey and Austin provided substitute care taking/parenting
responsibilities of Austin. However, Nora herself had to work some evenings, as
did Jeffrey, and on those evenings that she had responsibility lor Austin, took him
with her while she cleaned office buildings. Austin also had a set of keys to his
home so that he could gain access to the home when his father was at work. It Is
my understanding that Austin may have spent considerable time alone In that
home playing TV (James and not getting his homework done,
It Is Austin's academic performance that is a major reason lor my
recommending that he return to Pennsylvania. A review of his academic
performance in the lirst grade In Pennsylvania reveals no problems, concerns or
deficiencies, He experienced major problems In the second grade In Floridil
resulting In his having to repeat that grade. Progress reports from the school
Indicates "that he comlnue5 to need direction and monitoring to complete tasks...
Austin continues to day dream and practice tasks - avoidance behaviors... he has
difficulty accomplishing tasks... he Is stili not meeting grade level requirements.....
suggesting the need for external supervision, support and monitoring of bls
schoolwork. Jeffrey Is well Intentioned but misdirected when he states that it was
Austin's responsibility to complete his school work. Jeffrey also describes Austin
as making up stories resulting In Austin telling his father that his homework was
completed when, it appears it was not completely done. Austin Is a bright
youngster who has develop.ed these avoidance behaviors to get out of doing work.
The school posited their difficulty in determining whether Austin's weak academic
performance may be due to learning difficulties or a preoccupation with his
parent's separation and adjustment to new surroundings. They concluded that
their concerns centered around these emotional Issues "contributing to Austin's
academic woes". I did not find that Austin struggled with the separation Issues to
the point where it impacted his behavioral response patterns to any significant
degree. Jeffrey reported that Austin enjoyed going to the beach and doing things
together as father and son. There Is no evidence presented that Austin himself
was experiencing any emotional responses such as a depressive reaction to the
separation. although this is a possibility, Typically when children are depressed it
shows up In areas In addition to academic performance and also tends to
ameliorate with the passage 01 time. Mrs, Clifford, Austin's teacher, noted

:
decoding difficulties and that he does better with one to one help. It Is my
understending that Austin received little individual attention and assistance during
the second grade. Austin also participated In a group for children of divorced or
separated parents with a guidance counselor; however, there was no Information
forthcoming regarding any findings concerning his participation.
Jeffrey continues to state his belief that It was Austin's lack of attentiveness
and effort that resulted In his poor academic performance. He also admitted that
he contlnuel; to experience a void - an emotional response to the separation and Is
himself In a state of transition occupationally. He Is seeking a day lob which
would allow him to be at home with Austin. However, nothing Is dellnlt ve at this
point. He also believes It would be good for Austin to experience a family
environment. Jeffrey stated "I would love to give him a family setting. A proper
family... I grew up In a stable home mother and father were always there and I
would love for him to have that...". Jeffrey has no knowledge of the relationship
between Susan and Barry In that regard.
Jeffrey correctly Identifies and Susan reaffirms her availability to be there for
Austin during school days since she works a reglJlar daytime schedule From my
observation, the relationship between Susan and Barry appears to be a solid one.
Barry Is a 47 year old man who has belln divorced one time. He raised three
step.children and has seven grandchildren. He was married 21 years and his
marriage failed because "the children grew up" and there was nothing apparently
in common between the couple. He now reports that he and his ex.wlfe are "the
best of friends". He has been doing accounting work for the Liquor Control Board
for the past 26 years, He fulfilled the responsibility of raising step.chlldren to the
point where he learned sign language due to the fact that two of the children were
deaf, He relates enjoying the responsibility of being a parent and enjoys kids.
There Is nothing in his history to suggest that he could not provide appropriate
step"parentlng support to Austin, I observed their interaction to be pOSitive F.lI1d
warm. Austin In fact awarded Barry an A for "makes me laugh a lot' - as he did
award the same grade to his father.
I believe that It would be in Austin's best Interest to return to Pennsylvania to
live with his mother primarily during the school year. The relationship between
Austin and his father is very strong and positive and I further recommend that
Austin spend as much non-school time as possible with his father in Florida.

1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject
of this litigation is as follows:

2. A second Conciliation Conference was held on April 17, 1997 with
the following individuals in attendance: The Mother, Susan R. Marshall,
with her counsel, Mark K. Emery, Esquire, and the Father's counsel, Michael
A. Scherer, Esquire. The Father, Jeffrey G, Marshall, who resides in Palm
City, Florida, participated in the Conference by telephone.
3. This Court previously entered an Order in this case on June 4,
1996 under which the parties shared legal custody and the Father had
primary physical custody of the Child. The Mother filed a petition for
Modification of the CUstody Order on November 14, 1996 and a Conciliation
conference was held on December 3, 1996. As a result of the Conference,
the Mother agreed to maintain the existing Order in reliance upon
information and assurances provided by the Father by telephone at the
COI\ferftnce. The Mother has renewed her request for modification of the
existing Order based upon issues which the parties were not able to resolve
at the conciliation Conference, Due to the long distance involved between
the party's residences, there is little room for compromise on the parties'
positions and a Hearing will be necessary in this matter.
4, The Mothl\lr's pOSition on custody is as follows: The Mother stated
that she agreed to the existing custody arrangements in June 1996 (under
which thll Father relocated with the 50n to Florida) based upon the Mother's
understanding that the Father haa substantial financial opportunities in
Florida with his brother who I'll ready resided there. According to the
Mother, those opportunities aid not materialize and the expected benefits
to the son were not fulfilled. The Mother believes it would be in the
Child's best interest if he were to resiae with her in Pennsylvania auring
the school year and with his Father in Florida during the sunmer. Tho
Mother expressed concern that the 50n spends much of his time (every other
weekday night and alternating Saturdays) with a babysitter aue to the

VERIFICATION
I verify that the statements made In this Pleading are true and correct. I undel'8tand
thllt false statements herein are made subject to the penalties of 18 Pa. C.S. 4904
relating to unsworn falsification to authorities. " \ I

false and unfulfilled.
By way of further response, it is admitted ~hat
Respondent was aware that Petitioner would relocate, with Austin,
to Florida. This was agreed upen based upon Petitioner's
representation that his brother, KAnneth Marohall, would provide
housing for them, and also help Petitioner find employment. At the
time of the June 4, 1996 OrdAr, Petltionet" was unemployed.
However, p~titianer Wft9 asked to leave his brother's residence due
to his refusal to control or discipline Austin, and Petitioner'S
failure to look for employment,
5. Denied. Austin has b90n in Florida since on or about
July 1, 1996. The Complaint at bar was filed on November 14, 1996.
The issues were therefore raised over seven (7) months ago, and
again raised at the December 3, 1996 conciliation conference. At
no time prior to the date of the instant petition did Petitioner
raise an issue of jurisdiction.
The Court. has set a hearing date for J,uly 30, 1997.
Further pursuant to the current Custody order, Austin will be in
Pennsylvania on the hearing date, as RAspondent has custody of
Austin during the summer months. The part ies have agreed to submit
to an expert custody evaluation, to be conducted by Dr. Stanley
Schneider of Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania. The evaluation
is scheduled to occur on July 19, 1997.
The matters vlhich petitioner asserts have a greater
jurisdiction~l nexus with Florida may he addressed simply through
the testimony of petl tioner, or through hi s answers to
Interrogatories previously served. Further, petitioner has made no
attempt, or ~howing why such attempt could not be made, to adduce
any allegedly necessary testimony by deposition as allowed under 23
Pa. C.B.A. S5359.
6. Admitted that Respondent has a concarn over Austin's
school performance ovnr the past year. All r8cords and information
regarding th,~t performance an! ('Asily obtRinabl'J, in fact, such
documents have already been provided by the Bchool to Respondent.
Further, evidence relating to Austin'S school performance prior to
the 1996/1997 school year ace presont in Pennsylvania, as Austin
had previously attended school in Cumberland county.
By way of
further response, Respondent incorporates paragraph 5 fully herein.

Denip,d.
Petitioner sets forth an incorrect
conclusion of la'.~. It is assumed that Petit.ioner is citing to 23
Pa. C.S.A. 55343. under such statute, the home state is:
"The state .in which the chi ld immediately' preceding the time
involved lived with hii parents, a pacunt or a person acting as
parent, or in an institution, foe at least six (6) consecutive
months 23 Pa. C.S.A. ~5342"
The home state of a child is deterMined at the date the
action is commenced. fuLl! Hatto\!!U_Y,..._tl<!.tJ,Q!Jm, 295 Pa. Super. 169,
175, 441 A.2d. 403, 406 (1982). This proceeding was instituted on
Noveniber 14, 1996.
At that time Austin had been in Florida fOL
only approximately foue (4) months.
As such Pennsylvania was the
,
home state of Austin at the time this Complaint was filed.
'l'hls Court has jl.lcisdiction over t.his matter under 23 Pa.
C.S,A. S5344 (a)(l)(i) and (li), as Pennsylvania was the home state
of Austin on November 14, 1996. This home state jurisdiction
predominates any other alleged basis for judsdiction. IUA~jL.ll,,-
Black, 441 Pa, Super. 158, 365, 657 A.2d 964, 968 (1995).
8. Denied. Petitioner sets fort.h an incorrect
conclusion of law. It is assumed t.hat petitioner is citing tCl 23
Pa, C.S.A. S5348. This Court is not an inconvenient forum, as it
is t.he home state of Austin Marshall. Austin lived in Pennsylvania
from his birth on November 3, 1988 to July of 1996. At the timl~
this action \'las commenced Austin, and Pet. it ioner, had Ii ved 1:1
Florida for only four (4) months. All evidence needed to determine
this matter may be presented by Petitioner, personally, or through
school records which are readily availablo for review hy this
Court. The school records of Au"tin for years prior to 1996 are
available for this Court as the s~hool was located in Cumberland
County. Addit ionally, the test,imony of K,:;nneth Marshall, whom
petitioner was residing with of thfi t.ime the Complaint was filed,
will be presented by Respondent. petitioner makes no showing as to
what evidence to which t.o this Court does not have access.
Dr. Stanley Schn'l ider I of Guidance Associates of
Pennsylvania located in Cumberland county, i9 scheduled to conduct
a custody evaluation involving all parties. This evid8nce is best
presented to thJ.s Court.. Pet I. t loner' refused t.O sat. up such
evaluation in 1"lor ida, daspi te Respr:lOdent agreeing t.o trave 1 t.o
Florida for such procedure.
It is assumed that petitioner is citing co 23 Pa, C.S.A.
S5348(g). It is denJ.ed that Pennsylvania is ~n inconvenient forum.

ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 30th day of July, 1997, upon
coneideration of the Defendant's petition requesting review of
jurisdiction, which in 8u~stance has been said to reque.t the
Court to transfer venue in this ca.e to Florida on grounds of
forum non conveniens, is denied.
Defendant's oral motion in court on this date for
coete and attorney's fees, which is also contained in the
