Guido CUSTODY CD!lCILIATIOO SUMMARY REPORT IN Aco::m>ANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COONTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report: 1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as follows: NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF Alleshia Christopher February 12, 1992 plaintiff/Paternal Grandmother 2. A Conciliation Conference was held on June 13, 2000, with the following individuals in attendance: The plaintiff/Paternal Grandmother, Lisa Christopher, with her counsel, Jacqueline M. Verney, Esquire. The Mother, Rebekah S. Christopher, who currently lives in California, did not attend the Conference or contact the Conciliator. The Father, John Christopher, III, who currently resides in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, did not attend the Conference or contact the Conciliator. 3. The Grandmother's counsel indicated that both Defendant parents were served with notice of the Conciliation Conference. The Paternal Grandmother advised the Conciliator that she spoke to both the Mother and the Father prior to the Conference and was advised by both parents that they did not intend to attend. 4. This Court previously entered a Temporary Order on April 24, 2000 granting the Paternal Grandmother primary physical custody of the Child with periods of partial physical custody to both parents as agreed upon between the parties. The Court also ordered that the matter should proceed through the Conciliation process for the entry of a permanent Order. 5. The Paternal Grandmother stated that the Child has resided with the Grandmother since March 1999 by agreement of both parents and the ."~-. .. ." . ~ . , Grandmother. The Grandmother indicated that the Mother has visited with the Child 4 times since March 1999 and the Father, who has custody of the parent's 3 other children, contacts the Grandmother on a more regular basis to make arrangements for partial custody. 6. Based upon the representations of the Grandmother at the Conciliation Conference, the events leading up to the entry of the Emergency Temporary Order on April 24, 2000, and the fact that neither the Mother nor the Father attended the Conference or contacted the Conciliator, the Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached. 7. It should be noted that as the Mother has not provided her address in California and the Paternal Grandmother has not been able to obtain her address, it will be necessary to forward the Order to the Mother at her last known address in Harrisburg, pennsylvania. ~ IU/,J..oOr:i O~~, i!=1 Dawn S.
