School starts 8/21, but registration is the week prior. Therefore, the latest that Caitlin can come back is the
weekend of August 11. 1 will be in PA the weekend of August 4 for a class reunion and was planning on
picking her up then. Besides, that'll give us a few weeks to get school shopping and such done. Could you
please let John know and have him confirm? Thanks.

John,
To:7172218403 P.7/10
This letter is to confirm that, as 1 stated in our phone conversation on Tuesday, July 24,
2007, it is my intent to pick up Caitlin on Sunday, August 5, 2007 at approximately
10:00am. Further, I sent Caitlin a text message on July 247 2007 informing her of my
intent as well. I would greatly appreciate it if her things were packed and that she be
ready to go by that time.
Caitlin starts school on Monday, August 20. I have been informejd by the school that
she must be at the school sometime the week prior to register, pay fees and take care of
other miscellaneous school issues. Further, we will need time to get her prepared for
school; such as clothes and school supply shopping.
As you ltnow, l will be in Harrisburg the weekend of August 4 to attend a class reunion.
This, coupled with the reasons above, is why it is necessary to pick up Caitlin on that
date.
'T'hank you for accommodating my schedule. I ho
together. bet's discuss her next visit when you get the chance,h an enjoyable summer
Sincerely,
J i Morningstar

CONCELIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(B), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
The pertinent information pertaining to the child who is the subject of this
litigation.is as follows: ` .
Name . Date of Birth Currently in the Custody of
Caitlin M. Kelly 4/13/92 Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference update was held on September 11, 2007 with the
following individuals participating:
The Father, John Kelly, with his counsel, Nichole M. Staley O'Gorman, Esquire
The Mother, Judith Morningstar, with her counsel, Pamela Purdy, Esquire.
3. There exists a prior Order of Court dated August 10, 2000 whereby Mother
has primary physical custody of the subject Child during the school year.
During the summer months, Father has primary physical custody of the
subject Child. During the school year, Father has physical custody of the
Child three out of four weekends.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal custody
and primary physical custody of the minor Child. Father and Mother both
agree that circumstances have changed since the 2000 Order regarding
custody and that the parties have not strictly adhered to the terms of the Order.
Father asserts that the minor Child resided with him primarily and attended
school in his school district in 2001. In 2002, Mother moved to South
Carolina and the Child has attended school in Mother's school district. Father
has had custody of the minor Child in the summer months. After the summer
vacation in 2007, Father desires Caitlin to attend school in his school district.
Father alleges that Caitlin also desires to remain in Cumberland County for
the school year. Father asserts that Caitlin has many friends here in
Pennsylvania and her brother also resides in the area. Father is currently
married, lives with his wife and daughter and is Hill time employed. Father
4 ' .
-0
has adequate room in his residence to accommodate Caitlin. Father asserts
that Mother has not complied with the 2000 Order regarding weekend visits
with Caitlin.
5. Mother's, position is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal custody and
primary physical custody of the minor Child. Father and Mother both agree
that circumstances have changed since the 2000 Order regarding custody and
that the parties have not strictly adhered to the terms of the Order. Mother
asserts that the minor Child has resided with her primarily for at least the last
five to six years and attended school in her school district since 2002. After
the summer vacation in 2007, Mother had difficulty convincing Father to
return Caitlin to South Carolina for school. Mother sought and was granted an
emergency Order signal by Judge Oler on August 17, 2007 immediately
returning Child to Mother's custody. Mother asserts that Caitlin's desire to
remain in her Father"s school district is due to her meeting a boyfriend over
the summer in 2007. Mother desires Caitlin to attend school in her school
district. Mother lives with Caitlin's brother (now an adult) and has adequate
room in her residence to continue to care for Caitlin. Mother is also employed
full time. Mother asserts that it is an unreasonable financial burden for her to
comply with the 2000 Order regarding Father's three weekends per month
visits. Mother asserts that when the Order was entered, it was contemplated
that Mother and Child would be in close proximity with Father.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a
Hearing as soon as possible and leaving the 2000 Order of Court in full force
and effect pending a Hearing on this matter. It is expected that the Hearing
will require half a day.
7. The proposed recommended Order may contain a requirement that the parties
file a pre-trial memorandum with the Judge to whom the matter has been
assigned.
