INTERIM ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this ". day of A.~....v , 2000, upon consideration of the
attached Custody Conciliation Summary Repo , the following Interim Order is entered:
1. The parties shall submit themselves and their minor children to a Custody

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Alyson M. Salisbury
Wesley A. Salisbury
October 11, 1984
June 27, 1986
Father
Father
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on July 26, 2000, with the following
individuals in attendance: The plaintiff, Janice T. Salisbury, and her counsel, Susan M. Kadel,
Esquire; the defendant, Michael S. Salisbury, and his counsel, Gary Kelley, Esquire.
3. The parties were not able to reach an agreement at the Custody Conciliation
Conference. Therefore, the Conciliator recommends an interim order in the form as attached
allowing parties to return to conciliation prior to a hearing if they are not able to reach an
agreement following the Custody Evaluation.
4. Issues upon which the parties agreed: There will be a Custody Evaluation to be
performed by Dr. Stanley Schneider. It is recommended by the Conciliator that the expenses
of this evaluation be born pro rata by the parties in accordance with the net incomes as
determined previously by the Domestic Relations Office: Father shall bear 72% of the cost of
the Custody Evaluation, and mother shall bear 28% of the cost of the Evaluation.
5. The Mother's position on custody: Mother reports that she had primary physical
custody from the time of their most recent separation in June of 1999 until the weekend of
May 28, 2000, when the children did not return from a visit with their Father. She feels that
she should have primary physical custody with the Father having alternating weekends from
Friday to Sunday and one evening during the week. She claims that the amount of time that
she has seen the children since the Memorial Day weekend, 2000, has totaled six nights. She
.' l~n _ T,
~
~
alleges the father has moved the children around to various homes with members of the
church which he and the children are attending and is doing this in an attempt to make them
unavailable to spend time with her. She is also concerned that their almost daily church
involvement is interfering with her ability to spend time with them as well. She states that she
has left multiple messages for them which were not returned and has had occasions where
the parties have agreed that she could have partial custody but that Father has agreed to
return the children as agreed.
6. Father's position on custody: Father claims that Mother dropped the children off
with him for their visit with him on Memorial Day weekend accompanied by their clothing and
personal items in such a way that he came to believe that she no longer wanted to have
primary custody of them. He feels that he should have primary physical custody or
at least 51 % physical custody of at least one child. His explanation for wanting these
arrangements seemed to reflect his concerns about financial impact of the custody
arrangement. Father also claims that the children do not want to be with the Mother and
seems content to allow the children to dictate and control the situation rather than to exercise
his guiding role as their Father.
7. Need for separate counsel to represent the children: Neither party requested
same.
8. Need for independent psychological evaluation or counseling: This was
addressed at the Conference with the parties. It appears that a Custody Evaluation is
necessary and the parties did agree to use Stanley Schneider, Ed. D. as the Evaluator. Due
to the acknowledged tensions and strain in the relationship between mother and the children,
the parties agreed that Mother and the children could undergo counseling in an attempt to
repair the strains and/or alienation in these relationships.
9. Other comments: Conciliator is concerned that there may be alienation
occurring between the Mother and the children and therefore is recommending an Interim
Order granting shared custody, week on week off.

PETITION FOR CIVIL COMPLAINT FOR DISOBEDIENCE OF CUSTODY
ORDER PURSUANT TO PA.R.C.P. 1915.12
The Petition of Plaintiff, Janice T. Salisbury, respectfully represents that:
1. On August 8, 2000, the Honorable Kevin Hess entered an Interim Custody Order
directing that the parties share custody of their two children, Alyson and Wesley, on an
alternating weekly basis.
2. The Order further provided, inter alia, that:
The parties shall submit themselves and their minor children to a custody evaluation to
be performed by Stanley Schneider, Ed.D., or other professionals selected by agreement
of the parties and counsel. The purpose of the evaluation shall be to obtain independent
professional recommendations concerning custody arrangements which would be in the
best interest of the children. The parties shall sign all authorizations deemed necessary
by the evaluator to obtain additional information concerning the parties or the children.
The father shall be responsible to pay 72% of the cost of the evaluation; the Mother shall
be responsible to pay 28% of the cost of the evaluation.
A true and correct copy of the custody order is attached hereto, and market Exhibit A.
3. Respondent Michael S. Salisbury has willfully failed to abide by the order in that
he is refusing to participate in or pay for his percentage share of the custodial evaluation.
Respondent, through his counsel Gary Kelley, Esquire, has stated that he will not pay for his
portion of the evaluation.
4. Petitioner Janice Salisbury is prepared to go forward with the evaluations as
directed by the Court as she believes that there are significant custodial issues that need to be
addressed by a custody evaluator.

_ -.," '"",,' "_,,,. -~.,,~ ^, . ,__, ~,_,,-,_ ,.. '. ,,__ '_"~~" ~ ~,,~- v, __~ _ -_~ ".. "'7"1' " .
~~- ,. '" '.
5. Respondent has stated that he does not have the money to proceed with a custody
evaluation. He is employed by Harrisburg Area Community College and presently earns in
excess of $60,000.00 annually. It is believed, and therefore averred, that the custody evaluator
has requested that Respondent pay $1,500.00 toward the evaluation. Certainly, given
Respondent's earnings ,this figure is well within his means. Thus, any refusal to proceed can
only be deemed willful.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that Respondent Michael S. Salisbury be held
in contempt of court for failing to comply with the Court's August 8, 2000, Order. Further,
Petitioner requests that Respondent be directed to immediately comply with the Order as stated.
Respectfully submitted,

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUST-ODY OF
Alyson M. Salisbury
Wesley A. Salisbury
October 11, 1984
June 27, 1986
Mother and Father
Mother and Father
2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on November 29, 2000, with the
following individuals in attendance: Jarad Handleman, Esquire; the Defendant, Michael S.
Salisbury, and his counsel, Gary Kelley, Esquire. The Mother did not attend due to illness.
However, she did participate by telephone.
3. This Conciliation Conference was held in response to the Petition for Civil Contempt
for Disobedience of a Custody Order Pursuant to Pa. R .C. P.1915.12. Subsequent to the
August 8, 2000, Order of Court, Plaintiff represents that Defendant has failed to make an
appointment or make any deposit funds toward the Custody Evaluation agreed to and
provided in that Order of Court. The Plaintiff/Petitioner alleged that the
Defendant/Respondent willfully failed to abide by the Order by refusing to pay for or participate
in the Custody Evaluation.
4, The Conciliator met with counsel. Counsel for the Defendant states that his client
simply has not had the money to pay for the Custody Evaluation and without a deposit has not
been able to secure an appointment with Dr. Schneider. Counsel for the Defendant indicates
that the Defendant is not unwilling to cooperate with the Custody Evaluation. However, he
reports that he simply has not had the funds to pay the support Order and continue his
payments on other debts such as a $200 per month obligation to Consumer Credit Counseling
which has been ongoing since 1998. He represents that this obligation will be ending in about
five months.
5. The Custody Conciliator spoke with the parties. An new interim agreement was
reached focusing on the goal of completing the Evaluation in a timely fashion. It is noted that
~- .
"
( .
.
No. 00-4567
prior to the Custody Conciliation Conference that the Plaintiff had not made a deposit for her
share of the fees associated with the Custody Evaluation.
6. The parties were reminded that they have entered this agreement to participate in a
Custody Evaluation, and that there is an Order of Court so directing them. Therefore, it is in
fact a legal requirement that they cooperate with and participate in this process. Further non-
compliance by either party will result in referral of the matter to Judge Hess for a contempt
hearing.

PETITION FOR CIVIL CONTEMPT FOR DISOBEDIENCE OF CUSTODY
ORDER PURSUANT TO PA.R.C.P. 1915.12
The Petition of Plaintiff, Janice T. Salisbury, respectfully represents that:
1. Petitioner herein is Janice T. Salisbury, Plaintiff in the above-captioned custody
action.
2. Respondent herein is Michael S. Salisbury, Defendant in the above-captioned
custody action.
3. On August 8, 2000, this Honorable Court entered an Interim Custody Order
directing that the above-captioned parties share physical custody of their two children, Alyson
and Wesley, on an alternating weekly basis, pending completion of a custody evaluation. A true
and correct copy of the Order is attached hereto, incorporated herein, and marked Exhibit "A".
4. The parties engaged Dr. Stanley E. Schneider to complete the custodial
evaluation. On or about July 5, 2001, Dr. Schneider issued his report wherein he recommended
that the interim Order become a final Order.
5. The parties accepted Dr. Schneider's report and, accordingly, the Order of August
8, 2000, currently remains in effect.
6. On or about November 26,2001, counsel for Respondent, Michael Salisbury,
notified counsel for Petitioner that he had directed his client to retain custody of the children due
to an incident that occurred between Petitioner and the children.

7. Petitioner was hospitalized on November 25, 2001 through November 26, 2001 at
York Hospital upon Petition for Involuntary Commitment by her estranged sister, Kristen
Thomas. It is believed, and therefore averred, that her sister's actions were an attempt to
improperly interfere with the custodial arrangement. Petitioner does not suffer from any
psychiatric illness.
8. Since November 26, 2001, Petitioner has been ready, willing and able to assume
custody on an alternating weekly basis as set forth in the August 8, 2000 Order. Respondent
refuses to permit Petitioner to see or visit with the children and is in willful violation of the
existing Custody Order.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that Respondent Michael S. Salisbury be held
in contempt of court for failing to comply with the Court's August 8, 2000, Order. Further,
Petitioner requests that Respondent be directed to immediately comply with the Order as stated.

litigation is as follows:

Alyson M. Salisbury
Wesley A. Salisbury

2. A Conciliation Conference was held on July 26, 2000, with the following
individuals in attendance: The plaintiff, Janice T. Salisbury, and her counsel, Susan M. Kadel,
Esquire; the defendant, Michael S. Salisbury, and his counsel, Gary Kelley, Esquire.
3. The parties were not able to reach an agreement at the Custody Conciliation
Conference. Therefore, the Conciliator recommends an interim order in the form as attached
allowing parties to return to conciliation prior to a hearing if they are not able to reach an
agreement following the Custody Evaluation.
4. Issues upon which the parties agreed: There will be a Custody Evaluation to be
performed by Dr. Stanley Schneider. It is recommended by. the Conciliator that the expenses
of this evaluation be born pro rata by the parties in accordance with the net incomes as
determined previously by the Domestic Relations Office: Father shall bear 72% of the cost of
the Custody Evaluation, and mother shall bear 28% of the cost of the Evaluation.
5. The Mother's position on custody: Mother reports that she had primary physical
custody from the time of their most recent separation in June of 1999 until the weekend of
May 28,2000, when the children did not return from a visit with their Father. She feels that
she should have primary physical custody with the Father having alternating weekends from
Friday to Sunday and one evening during the week. She claims that the amount of time that
she has seen the children since the Memorial Day weekend, 2000, has totaled six nights. She

alleges the father has moved the children around to various homes with members of the
church which he and the children are attending and is doing this in an attempt to make them
unavaiiable to spend time with her. She is also concerned that their almost daily church
involvement is interfering with her ability to spend time with them as well. She states that she
has left multiple messages for them which were not returned and has had occasions where
the parties have agreed that she could have partial custody but that Father has agreed to
return the children as agreed,

6. Father's position on custody: Father claims that Mother dropped the children off
with him for their visit with him on Memorial Day weekend accompanied by their clothing and
personal items in such a way that he came to believe that she no longer wanted to have
primary custody of them. He feels that he should have primary physical custody or
at least 51 % physical custody of at least one child. His explanation for wanting these
arrangements seemed to reflect his concerns about financial impact of the custody
arrangement. Father also claims that the children do not want to be with the Mother and
seems content to allow the children to dictate and control the situation rather than to exercise
his guiding role as their Father.
7.
same,
Need for separate counsel to represent the children: Neither party requested
8. Need for independent psychological evaluation or counseling: This was
addressed at the Conference with the parties. It appears that a Custody Evaiuation is
necessary and the parties did agree to use Stanley Schneider, Ed. D. as the Evaluator. Due
to the acknowledged tensions and strain in the relationship between mother and the children,
the parties agreed that Mother and the children could undergo counseling in an attempt to
repair the strains and/or alienation in these relationships.

9. Other comments: Conciliator is concerned that there may be alienation
occurring between the Mother and the children and therefore is recommending an Interim
Order granting shared custody, week on week off.
