BARTH, Plaintiff v. : CIVIL ACTION - LAW DAVID R. BARTH, Defendant : NO. 1996 - 6511 CIVIL TERM : IN CUSTODY STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT THIS STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT entered into this ~ day of :fc:t..-~1 ,2005, by and between David R. Barth (hereinafter referred to as "Father") and I Melissa A. Barth Ballew (hereinafter referred to as "Mother"). NOW THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH THAT: WHEREAS, the Father and Mother are the parents of one minor child, namely, Rayvn Marie Barth (age 10 years, born October 17, 1994) (hereinafter referred to as "child"); and, WHEREAS, Mother initiated the instant action in custody by complaint filed on or about November 27, 1996 at the above term and number, and, WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into a custody agreement relative to Father's ternporaryvisitation and physical custody of the child in WISCOnsin; and, NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and agreements as hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bOWld, the parties hereto agree as follows: A The Mother shall continue to have legal custody of the minor child. B. The Mother shall have primary physical custody of the child. C. The Father will have, by virtue of this agreernent, a period of visitation with the child, in accordance with the following terms and conditions: 1. Mother shall transfer custody of the child to the paternal grandparents, Robert and Kathleen Barth (hereinafter" Grandparents") on July 30, 2005, in Holiday Gty, Ohio. 2. Mother shall meet Grandparents on the morning of July 30, 2005, where the parties shall spend some time together to enable the child to have some transition while all parties are still present. If the child exhibits anxiety or expresses reluctance to go through with the visit, Mother shall retain custody of the child and return to Pennsylvania. 3. Following the initial transition, if the child exhibits or expresses any anxiety or significant manifestations of homesickness during the course of the visit while traveling to or while in WISconsin, Grandparents shall immediately contact Mother and arrange for the immediate return of the child to the custody of Mother. 4. In the event that no such difficulties as contemplated in paragraphs two or three hereof occur, Grandparents shall return physical custody of the child to Mother on August 5,2005 at the same location in HolidayGty, Ohio. 5. During the time while the child is in the physical custody of Grandparents, Father shall have supervised visitation with the child and shall not be pennitted to exercise unsupervised custody of the child. 6. Moreover, Grandparents shall not relinquish physical custody of the child to any other party without the prior consent of Mother. 7. Based upon the specific medical needs of the child the following provisions are also hereby agreed to and acknowledged: a. During the visitation period, should the child become ill or medical treatment is deemed necessary, Grandparents agree to immediately take the child to the nearest medical facility for treatment. Grandparents shall call Mother at the earliest possible opportunity to inform her of the situation. Should the child require medical treatment, Grandparents agree to pay any required out-of-pocket costs to the medical providers and obtain a receipt for payment from said providers. Mother shall be given the receipt and shall submit the same to her medical insurance provider. Upon Mother's receipt of reimbursement from her insurance carrier, Mother agrees to forward said reimbursement to Grandparents. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to convey the authority to consent to medical treatment, other than the granting of authority to the Grandparents to authorize initial emergency medical treatment for the child. No other medical decisions shall be made by Grandparents or Father without the express consent of Mother wlllch shall be obtained either in writing or by direct telephone communication between the medical provider and Mother. b. Due to the fact that the child has an existing heart condition, a copy of her medical alert card will be provided to Grandparents in the event they should require it for medical treatment during the visitation period. If any emergency dental needs arise, Grandparents acknowledge that the child cannot have treatment without anubiotics being administered one hour (1) prior to said treatment due to her heart condition. Mother shall provide said antibiotics to Grandparents in Ohio, which shall be returned to Mother with the child on August 5,2005. 8. Grandparents and Father hereby acknowledge that said visit is taking place during the period of time which Mother had set aside to obtain new school clothes and supplies for the child, and that the costs of traveling to and from Ohio to accommodate this visit will put an additional financial strain on Mother. Therefore, Grandparents and Father agree that during the period of said visit, they shall take the child shopping for new school clothes and supplies. 9. Because this visitation represents the first time that the child is being released to the custody of Grandparents for a period of time in WISconsin, Grandparents agree to provide Mother with a tentative schedule of activities planned for the visit. Said schedule shall be subject to change but significant changes shall be confirmed with Mother. This schedule shall allow Mother to be informed as to the child's well-being and whereabouts and to avoid disrupting special activities with communications between the child and Mother. 10. The Grandparents, while not parties hereto, have executed the attached acknowledgment and statement subjecting themselves to the authority of this agreement and to the jurisdiction of the Court for enforcement of the foregoing agreement. (A true and correct copy of said agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A.) D. Mother shall have reasonable telephone contact with the child while the child is in the custody of Grandparents. In accordance with this provision, Mother shall provide the child with a cellular telephone to be used for the sole purpose of communication between Mother and the child. Mother has provided Grandparents with her home and cellular telephone numbers and Mother has Grandparent's home and cellular telephone numbers. E. In addition to the special provisions provided herein concerning the child's health, the Grandparents and Father shall keep each Mother advised immediately relative to any emergencies concerning the child and shall further take any necessary steps to insure that the health, welfare and well being of the child is protected at all times.
