96.6274 CIVIl. TERM
(7) There Is an outstl.lndlng support order against husband to support his two
children which wife Inlllated in Cumberland County, and which has been enforced In
Florida, elthough husband Is In arrears.
DISCUSSION
Based upon the children living conllnuously In Cumberland County since May,
1994, and the fact that virtually all evidence regarding their best welfare Is located In
Cumbertand County, It appears, pursuant to tha Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction
Act at 23 Pa.C.S. Secllon 5344, that lI,is court is tha proper court of Jurisdiction to
proceed on the mother's claim for an award of custody, However, Secllon 5347 of
the Act provides:
(a) General rule.--A court of this Commonwealth shall not
exercise Its Jurisdiction under this subchapter If, at the time of filing the
petition, a proceeding concerning the custody of the child was pendlnq
In a court of another state exercising Jurisdiction substantially In
conformity with this subchapter, unless the proceeding Is stayed by the
court of the other state because this Commonwealth is a more
appropriate forum or for other reas.:ms.
Husband's claim for custody was Inlllated In conjuncllon with his divorce action
In Bay County, Florida on August 7, 1996, prior to wife's filing for custody In this court
on November 14, 1996. Accordingly, all proceedings will be stayed and the
conclllallon conference scheduled for January 3, 1997, will be cancelled. Carpenter
v. Carpenter, 326 Pa. Super. 570 (1984). This memorandum opinion and order will
be forwarded to Circuit Judge Michael C. Ovarstreet of the Bay County Court with a
request for a determination In that court of whether husband's claim for custody

RE: PlIJToa v. Pnrros
CIl5e Number 96-2059
Dear ludge Cole:
On Sept.ember 16, 1996, I WI1.'l served with divorce papers where my husband, Steve
Pllffos, flied for divorce in Bay County Florida. 1 ftquest that this letter be considered my
answer to the complaint as wdl as Ii motion to dismiss part of the divorce complaint for lack of
Jurisdiction.
First, I am ftquesting a 30-day extension of the deadline to me a more formal answer
with the court so that I may obtain legal counsel in Florida. Currently, I live In Pennsylvania,
and I am unemployed and on public I1.'lsistance. My husbwld, St.eve, is more Ulan $18,000 in
arrears in paying court-ordered child support payments. I am on public assistance and do not
have the funds with which to hire an attorney and need more time to find someone to lake my
ca.~ on a pro bono basis.
I had conl.1ctcd the Fanlily L'lW Clinic at TIle Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle,
Pennsylvl1l1ia to file for divorce in Pennsylvania prior 10 being served with the papers for the
action in Florida and was on a waiting list for more than a year. I finally had my first
appointment on September 10, 1996. TIle Family Law Clinic is a Legal Services type of
organlz.ation which provides frce legal services to indigent persons in domestic matters, After
learning that I had bccn sued for divorce 111 Florida, the Family Law Clinic attempted to conl.1ct
Legal Services of Northern Florida on severnl occasions, but Uleir office was closed and their
voice-mail box was full so no message could be left.
Second, I do not believe that r.his court has jurisdiction to resolve the matters of child
custody and support. I do not believe the Florida court has jurisdiction based on the Uniform
Child Custody lurisdiction Act. Pennsylvania has been the children's home for two years now,
and they have significant connections WiUI Pennsylvwlia. For the last several YC<lrs Steve has
not tried 10 talk 10 the children, remember their birthdays, or oUlerwise act as a father.
Pennsylvwlia is already the jurisdiction of the existing Child Support Order. I am, therefore,
asking the court 10 dismiss the counts of the divorce complaint relating 10 child custody and
support and to transfer them to Pennsylvania. 111e Family Law Clinic has agreed to represent
me in Pennsylvania on these mailers.
