was born. It is denied that she quit her job so that she could raise, care for and attend to the
,
needs ofthe parties' children and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, it is
believed Plaintiff quit her job because all the money she was earning was being put towards
daycare, therefore defeating the purpose of earning an income.
5. Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted that Plaintiff left the marital residence
with the parties' two children on January 19th, 2000. It is denied that she has not resided there
since January 19th, 2000. By way of further answer, Plaintiff returned to the marital residence on
January 20, 2000 and then left again with the children on February 3, 2000.
6. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that Plaintiff left the marital home with
the parties' children on January 19th, 2000. It is denied that she and the children have resided at

Brooke Wilson and niece Alison Wilson. By way of further answer, Defendant is without
sufficient knowledge to know where Plaintiff spent the night with the children on January 19th,
2000; Plaintiff returned the marital home on January 20, 2000, stayed until February 3, 2000, at
which time she took the children to the Wilsons in Plainfield, left on February 4, 2000 and took
the children and spent the night at the home of her paramour, Greg Smith, in Bowmansdale, left
on February 5, 2000 and took the children and spent the night at the Gibb's home in
Mechanicsburg, left on February 6,2000, and took the children back to the Wilson's in Plainfield
where she stayed until February 10, 2000. On February 11, 2000 Plaintiff returned to the home of
~ ~

-
. .
her paramour, Greg Smith, in Bowmansdale which is where she remained with the children until
Defendant returned the children to their home, the marital residence. Plaintiff requested the
children from Defendant on February 13, 2000 at which time Defendant informed her that he was
keeping the children since they were emotionally confused and not residing in a stable
environment.

answer, Defendant explained to Plaintiff that the children were confused about her relationship
with Greg Smith and that she could take the children to the Wilson's in Plainfield. Plaintiff
informed Defendant that she planned to take the children to Greg Smith's home and Defendant
refused to give her the children.

primary caregiver for the children in recent weeks. It is further denied that Defendant has
provided minimal assistance with respect to the care and nurturing of the parties' children. By
way of further answer, it is Defendnat's belief that Plaintiff has been neglecting the children so

AND NOW COMES the Petitioner, Timothy M. Walker, by and through his attorney, Jeanne
B. Costopoulos, Esquire, and files the following petition, respectfully representing as follows:
1. The petition of Timothy M. Walker respectfully represents that on March 3, 2000, an
Order of Court was entered to approve the stipulation for an agreed orser of custody between
Petitioner and Respondent; a true and correct copy of the order and stipulation are presented
herewith as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth.
2. . This Order should be modified because:
(a) Petitioner is the natural father of the children.
(b) Petitioner has established a relationship with the children.
(c) Petitioner desires to continue exercising parental duties and enjoys the love and
affection of the children.
-

(d) The children should be permitted to enjoy the love, affection, and emotional
support which can be provided by their natural .
( e) The children would benefit from continued custody with their natural father.
(f) Petitioner believes, and therefore avers, that the mother has moved several
times in the last year and has changed jobs repeatedly, circumstances which
have created an unstable environment for his children.
(g) Petitioner further believes, and therefore avers, that the mother and children are
currently residing with mother's paramour and his family, a situation Petitioner
believes to be unhealthy for his children and not in their best interest.
(h) Petitioner, on the other hand, has maintained the same job he held prior to the
parties' divorce, has maintained the same residence since the sale of the marital
residence and therefore could provide a more stable environment for the
children.
