Re: Curtin v. Salcedo
No. 07-960
Dear Ms. Mcdonald-Fox:
I r resent Mr. Salcedo in the above matter. According to my client, Ms. Curtain has
been denying all contact with the child for approximately two (2) months. During this period,
Ms. Curtain has routinely hung up on Mr. Salcedo when he attempted to speak with his daughter,
prevented him from attending a family function which included the child, had her boyfriend call
and threaten Mr. Salcedo, and denied all periods of alternate physical custody. Of particular
import is a fact that Mr. Salcedo's mother, the child's grandmother, travelled to Pennsylvania
today to see her grandchild. While Ms. Curtain has been aware of this trip for an extended
period of me, she is refusing to allow the grandmother to see the grandchild. Additionally, Ms.
Curtain h refused to provide her home address to Mr. Salcedo and has refused to provide the
address of the individual providing daycare.
I requesting that this issue be addressed immediately and that Mr. Salcedo be
permitted to have the child immediately and for the next two weeks. If we are unable to resolve
this matte amicably, I am prepared to file a Petition For Emergency Relief today.
you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yo ,

Dear Ms. McDonald-Fox:
I lass ly wrote to you regarding this matter on February 27, 2009. Since that date, you
have left approximately three (3) telephone messages wherein you stated that your client would
not return our calls. To date, I have never received a written response to my many inquiries.
As you ma be aware, your client contacted Children and Youth Officials and filed a complaint
alleging tha Mr. Salcedo had sexually abused the child apparently only an hour or so after I had
again left a message requesting that the child be returned to Pennsylvania and again reiterated
the facts contained in my letter dated February 27, 2009. I only learned of this allegation earlier
this week alter I insisted that your client return the child to Pennsylvania immediately or I would
file a custo y action. If you had any prior knowledge of this allegation, you never communicated
it to me. ou may be interested to learn that Dauphin County Children and Youth Officials
deemed this. complaint to be unfounded. You may also be interested to learn that your client also
made a similar allegation against Mr. Salcedo's sister's son and this allegation was also deemed
to be unfounded.

CONCILIATION 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:
1. 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
Savanna Correa 12/8/05 Primary Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference update was held on March 9, 2007, an Order
issued September 11, 2007, a hearing was held and an Order of Court issued
November 21, 2007, an agreement was filed November 25, 2008 and a
conciliation conference was held July 31, 2009 with the following individuals
participating:
The Father, Wilberto Correa Salcedo with his counsel, James Nealon, Esquire
The Mother, Andrea L. Curtin, with her counsel, The Family Law Clinic, Megan
Riesmeyer, Esquire.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father asserts that for significant
periods of the Child's life, he was the primary care giver for the Child. Father
indicates that Mother has denied him and paternal family access to the subject
Child. Father has concerns regarding the Child's well-being in New Jersey
with Mother and would like to have primary custody, or at least a shared
custody schedule until the Child attends school.
4. Mother's position is as follows: Mother seeks primary physical custody
subject to Father's partial physical custody. Mother indicates that the Child is
doing extremely well in her primary care. Mother had been willing to expand
Father's weekends if a hearing were not requested by Father. However, since
Father has, Mother requests the agreement dated November 25, 2008 be
reinstated with some modifications for make-up time. Mother asserts that she
has been the Child's primary care-giver and desires to continue as such.
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a
Hearing and entering an Order of Court granting Mother and Father shared
legal custody and Mother to have primary physical custody subject to Father's
periods of partial physical custody as outlined. It is the Conciliator's belief
that this would be in the Child's best interest. It is expected that the Hearing
will require one day.
6. 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.

WILBERTO CORREA-SALCEDO, CIVIL ACTION - CUSTODY
Defendant .
PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
AND NOW comes the Defendant, Wilberto Correa-Salcedo, by and through his attorney,
Gary L. Kelley, and respectfully Petitions this Honorable Court as follows:
1. Defendant is Wilberto Correa-Salcedo who resides at 1432 Berryhill Street,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17104.
2. Plaintiff is Andrea L. Curtain who resides in New Jersey with her paramour,
Thomas Barber.
3. The parties are the parents of one (1) minor child, Savanna Correa, date of birth,
December 8, 2005.
4. In June 2009, the undersigned filed a Petition For Special Relief and Expedited
Hearing in the above matter.
5. The Petition contained, inter alia, an averment that Plaintiff had filed a complaint
with Children and Youth Services against Defendant regarding allegations of inappropriate
behavior on the part of Defendant, Mr. Salcedo and an averment that Barber had been interfering
in family decisions with the minor child and that he had threatened physical harm against
Defendant.
6. The Children and Youth Services complaint was investigated and subsequently
dismissed as unfounded.
7. The parties subsequently reached a resolution regarding the undersigned's Petition.
8. On January 27, 2010, the undersigned forwarded a letter to counsel at the Family
Law Clinic which represents Plaintiff.
9. The undersigned brought to the Clinic's attention that Plaintiff had again filed a
Children and Youth Services complaint against Defendant that Barber was again confronting
Defendant and making extremely denigrating statements about Defendant to Defendant in the
presence of the minor child. A true and correct copy of the letter dated January 27, 2010 is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
10. By a letter dated February 2, 2010, the undersigned again voiced concerns
regarding Plaintiffs boyfriend's behaviors on February 1, 2010 and noted the profane and volatile
statements he had again made to Defendant in the presence of the minor child. A true and
correct copy of the letter dated February 2, 2010 is attached hereto as Exhibit "B."
12. On or about February 12, 2010, Defendant learned that Barber had recently struck
the minor child repeatedly on the hands and buttocks and hurt her.
13. Defendant learned that Barber has struck the child on more than one occasion.
14. The physical abuse began occurring at or about the time of the February 2, 2010
letter because Barber was angry about the bicycle complaint contained in the letter of the same
date.
15. Since that date, the minor child complains that Barber has hit her and has been
mean to her as well.
16. The child is fearful for her safety and is terrified to return home.
17. Defendant believes and therefore avers that Barber mistreats the child because of
his intense dislike for him (the Defendant) and is attempting to provoke Defendant.
18. Defenant has filed a Children and Youth COmplaint in New Jersey and fears for
the chiuld' safety when Barber learns that an investigation is o
19. Given the young age of the minor child, four years of age, and her intense fear of
Barber, it is in the best interests of the minor child that she be placed with Defendant pending
further Order of Court.
20. This matter has previously been before the Honorable Kevin A. Hess.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter an
emergency order granting custody of the minor child to Defendant and expeditiously scheduling
this matter for a hearing on Defendant's Petition.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Curtin v. Salcedo
No. 07-960
Dear Ms. Allen:
Ms. Curtin's boyfriend continuously interferes in Mr. Salcedo's relationship with his
daughter. He continuously denigrates Mr. Salcedo in the presence of the child and tells Mr.
Salcedo that "How are you gonna tell me anything when I'm supporting your daughter" and goes
on to tell him that he (Mr. Salcedo) is not paying any support for the child. This situation has
become intolerable and is reaching a crisis stage because of this incessant belittling behavior.
Moreover, this same individual has interfered in family decisions. This must cease immediately.
Please direct your client to return the necklace and bracelet set and DS game system
which he which he bought for the child to use while the child is here as many items have not
been returned in the past. Your client is now refusing to allow these items to leave her residence
in New Jersey. You may also be interested to learn that your client has again filed a false
allegation of abuse against the child. If these behaviors are not immediately corrected, I
anticipate filing an Emergency Petition as these behaviors include, inter alia, parental alienation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt reply.
Very trul yours,
G . Kelle

Re: Curtin v. Salcedo
No. 07-960
Dear Mr. Walker:
Thank you for your letter this same date. I appreciate the efforts you made with Ms.
Curtain regarding her boyfriend but your efforts were for naught. Last evening, Ms. Curtain's
boyfriend again intervened in a conversation and became extremely profane. He also made
comments that Mr. Salcedo was not supporting his child. These comments and interference must
cease immediately. This has been occurring in the presence of the child. This behavior does not
set a good example for the minor child and is an active attempt by the boyfriend to alienate the
child from her father. We have never been provided the name of the boyfriend. What is his full
name and where does he reside?
Mr. Salcedo purchased a bicycle for the child. Ms. Curtain now refuses to return it and
has left it outside in the elements in an attempt to ruin it. Such behavior serves no useful
purpose. Additionally, the necklace and bracelet were never returned to Mr. Salcedo and your
client has bragged that she still has these items. Please have these items immediately returned.
Regarding the sleeping arrangements for the child, she has an appropriate room and her
own bed. The incident to which you refer was nothing more than the child waking up in the
middle of the night and sneaking into bed with her father. If you have children of your own, you
will know that this occurs periodically and is not sexual in nature which appears to be the
implication behind your statement. As you may be aware, your client has twice within the last
year filed false accusations against my client.with Children and Youth authorities. Both
allegations were thoroughly investigated and dismissed. As I wrote earlier, this case has again
reached a crisis stage as a result of these behaviors. In all likelihood, we will be returning to
Court to resolve these ongoing issues.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt reply.
Very truly ours,
Ga Kelley

COURT ORDER
AND NOW, this day of April 2010, upon consideration of the attached
Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed that:
1. All previous Orders of Court entered in this matter are hereby VACATED and
replaced with this Order.
2. Legal Custody: The Father, Wilberto Correa-Salcedo, and the Mother, Andrea
Curtin, shall have shared legal custody of Savanna Correa, born 12/08/2005. The
parties shall have an equal right to make all major non-emergency decisions
affecting the Child's general well-being including, but not limited to, all decisions
regarding her health, education and religion. Pursuant to the terms of 23 Pa.C.S.
§5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and information pertaining to
the Child including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school
records, the residence address of the Child and of the other parent. To the extent
one parent has possession of any such records or information, that parent shall be
required to share the same, or copies thereof, with the other parent within such
reasonable time as to make the records and information of reasonable use to the
other parent.
3. Physical Custody: Mother and Father shall share physical custody of the Child
pursuant to the following schedule:
a. During the school year, Father shall have alternating weekends from 5:00
pm Friday until 6:00 pm Sunday. Father shall have a make-up weekend
following Easter 2010 (three weekends in a row).
b. During the summer, Father shall have custody during the second and third
weeks of July and August beginning on the second Friday of the month at
5:00 pm and ending on the fourth Sunday of the month at 6:00 pm.
c. Father shall have custody for a seven day period beginning on the Sunday
following the Child's last day in June. (In light of the fact that the Child's
educational program for 2010 ends at the end of June, this essentially
means that Father will be having three weeks of custody in the month of
July 2010. Once the Child begins regular school, Father shall have one
week in the month of June 2011 pursuant to the first sentence of this sub-
P
paragraph).
d. The custody exchanges shall occur at the corner of 16th Street and Avenue
C in Bayonne, N.J. absent agreement otherwise.
e. Father shall be permitted to exercise additional periods of partial custody
as mutually agreed by the parties.
4. Holidays: The parties shall adhere to the attached holiday schedule unless
otherwise mutually agreed upon. The holiday schedule takes precedence over the
regular custodial schedule.
Father shall contact Mother one week prior to his stated periods of partial custody
to confirm that he will be exercising partial custody of the Child during these
stated periods.
6. Mother and Father shall not leave the Child in the care of anyone that is not a
responsible adult.
7. Mother and Father shall not take the Child out of New Jersey or Pennsylvania
with out prior permission from the other parent.
Unless Mother and Father mutually agree otherwise, the custody exchanges will
occur at the corner of 16th Street and Avenue C in Bayonne, NJ.
9. Mother and Father shall agree upon drop off and pick up times and dates that are
not already specified in this agreement.
10. Mother and Father shall notify each other of all medical care the Child receives
while in that parent's care. Mother and Father shall notify the other immediately
of medical emergencies which arise while the Child is in that parent's care.
11. Neither parent will do anything which may estrange the Child from the other
parent, or injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent or which may
hamper the free and natural development of the Child's love and respect for the
other parent.
12. Mother and Father shall communicate with one another in a respectful manner for
all issues regarding the Child.
13. The non-custodial parent shall be permitted telephone contact with the Child at
7:00 pm every evening.
14. This Order is entered pursuant to a Custody Conciliation Conference. The parties
may modify this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of mutual consent, the
terms of this Order shall control.

WILBERTO CORREA-SALCEDO, CIVIL ACTION -CUSTODY
Defendant
PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
AND
EXPEDITED HEARING
AND NOW comes the Defendant, Wilberto Correa-Salcedo, by and through his attorney,
Gary L. Kelley, and respectfully Petitions this Honorable Court as follows:
1. Defendant is Wilberto Correa-Salcedo who resides at 1432 Berryhill Street,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17104.
2. Plaintiff is Andrea L. Curtain who resides in New Jersey with her paramour,
Thomas Barber.
3. The parties are the parents of one (1) minor child, Savanna Correa, date of birth,
December 8, 2005.
4. In May 2009, the undersigned filed a Petition For Special Relief and Expedited
Hearing in the above matter.
5. The Petition contained, inter alia, an averment that Barber had been interfering in
Defendant's telephone contact with the minor child and that he had threatened physical harm
against Defendant for making such calls.
6. The parties subsequently reached a resolution regarding the undersigned's Petition.
F-76-o 6
??L14
(2 aS3 9
7. Earlier this year, Defendant was forced to file a Petition For Emergency Relief in
this matter regarding Barber's continued interference in the father/child relationship, Barber's
threats and inappropriate comments about Defendant in the presence of the child, and after
Defendant learned that Barber had been physically punishing the child.
8. The parties attended a Custody Conciliation Conference on March 30, 2010 at the
Cumberland County Courthouse.
9. The parties were again able to reach a resolution on Defendant's Petition.
10. Plaintiff was specifically admonished by the Conference Conciliation Officer that
Barber was to significantly reduce his role with the child including not punishing the child and
not appearing at custody exchanges.
11. Prior to the Custody Conciliation Conference and since that time, the undersigned
has repeatedly requested information regarding Barber, Plaintiffs paramour who resides in the
home with Plaintiff and the minor child.
12. The undersigned believes that information requested is relevant as Barber resides
in the home with the minor child and frequently has been a subject of the Petitions for interfering
with telephone contact between father/child, punishing the child, and threatening Defendant.
13. The information requested includes whether Barber has any minor children, their
names, the names of the mothers, the status of custody with the children, whether he pays support
for these children and in which county the DRO Order is entered, and whether he has any
criminal convictions.
14. Counsel representing Plaintiff has specifically refused to provide this information
and has taken the position that he is not entitled to this information from his client's paramour
and will not request it.
15. Defendant believes, and therefore avers, that by refusing to provide this
information or even denying that Barber does not have any criminal convictions and/or merely
stating that he has custody of his children on some basis, Plaintiff is implicitly admitting that
Barber has a criminal record and may have had his children removed from his custody for some
reason.
16. Since the conciliation, the minor child has complained that Barber has hit her and
has been mean to her as well by locking her in a room.
17. Since the conciliation, Barber has interfered in the custody exchange on at least
one occasion and threatened others at the scene.
18. During the custody exchange this past weekend, the police were called for a
supervised custody exchange.
19. During the exchange, as Defendant was walking the child to her residence, the
police officer observed the child becoming very emotional and declining to return home because
she was afraid that "Tommy" (Barber) was home and that he hits her and locks her in a room.
A true and correct copy of the officer's report is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
20. On April 28, 2010, Defendant was referred to by his daughter as "Junior" during
a conversation with her father.
21. This is a name that the adults in the family call Mr. Salcedo.
22. Additionally,the child called her father "a liar" and went on to tell him that he was
the reason the family was having problems and the reason why the police had been there recently.
23. In the Hispanic community, it is highly unusual for a child of Savanna's age, 4
years old, to speak to her father in such a fashion and even more unusual for her to refer to him
by an adult name given that she has always had a close relationship with her father.
24. It would appear that the child has been prompted by an adult to speak to her father
in that fashion and also because she appeared to have "adult knowledge" of recent occurrences
that a child of her years would not otherwise know.
25. Without the immediate intervention of this Honorable Court, the minor child will
suffer irreparable physical and psychological harm
26. The undersigned has requested opposing counsel's assistance in resolving this
matter and has been met with continuing resistance.
27. During the past three (3) months, Barber has become increasingly confrontational
with the Defendant to the point of recently entering Defendant's vehicle and grabbing the child
from the Defendant's arms almost immediately after the Defendant arrived at the exchange point.
28. Given Barber's history of erratic and confrontational conduct during the past year,
Defendant is fearful for his safety and the safety of his minor child.
29. Defendant has become even more concerned since opposing counsel's refuses to
provide the requested information regarding Barber and is fearful that Barber is hiding something
harmful regarding his past.
30. Without the immediate intervention of this Honorable Court, the undersigned
believes that Barber will further escalate the hostilities in this matter and either harm the
Defendant or the minor child.
31. It is in the best interest of the minor child that this Honorable Court order
opposing counsel to provide the undersigned with the previously aforementioned information
including whether Barber has any minor children, their names, date of birth for each child, the
address for each child, the name of each child's mother, the address of each child's mother, the
status of custody for each child, the county in which the custody order is entered, whether Barber
pays support for these children, in which county the DRO Order is entered, whether he has any
criminal convictions, and, if so, the county of the conviction and the nature of the crime.
32. The requested information is needed in order to undertake a thorough investigation
of Barber in this matter and to assist this Honorable Court in determining whether the minor child
should continued to be exposed to Barber.
33. This matter has previously been before the Honorable Kevin A. Hess.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter an
emergency order granting custody of the minor child to Defendant, direct opposing counsel to
immediately provide information regarding Barber including whether Barber has any minor
children, their names, date of birth for each child, the address for each child, the name of each
child's mother, the address of each child's mother, the status of custody for each child, the county
in which the custody order is entered, whether Barber pays support for these children, in which
county the DRO Order is entered, whether he has any criminal convictions, and, if so, the county
of the conviction, the nature of the crime, and expeditiously scheduling this matter for a hearing
on Defendant's Petition.
Respectfully submitted,

On the above date and time we were dispatched to 376 Ave. C. for a supervised custody exchange of a four year old
juvenile, Savannah Correa, between Wilberto Correa- Salcedo and Andrea L. Curtin.
Salcedo was walking towards the residence with Savannah when PO Lewis 215 observed her pull back from her

father and ask "Tommy is not going to be home is he?, Mommy said he had work", " I don't want to go with mommy if
Tommy is there". Mr. Salcedo stated to us that "Tommy" is her mothers live in boyfriend, Thomas Barber.
While making these statements, Savannah was crying and was visibly upset and clearly did not want to go to the

residence. P.O. Lewis then asked Savannah, with Mr. Salcedo's permission and within his presence,
Savannah who was fully in tears and visibly shaking, stated on her own to PO Lewis "Tommy Hits me, and locks me in the

When Savannah was interviewed by PO Fabbricatore it was determined that the hitting the girl was referring to was
some minor slapping to the girls hand in a disciplinary fashion. Based on Savannah's statements and behavior, we notified
DYES of the incident. PO J. Lewis spoke with call screener Sakina Williams Agent #1377 at approximately 19:30 hours,
who notified us that they would be sending a case worker to the residence to investigate. Detective Caicedo of the Hudson
County Sheriffs Office Special Victims Unit was also contacted and stated that he would be waiting for DYFS to contact him
after their investigation.

8. Admitted.
9. Denied. By way of further answer, the custody conciliation on March 30,
2010 addressed matters that occurred since the date of the February 2010 petition and did

not be as active in the custody exchanges; however, Plaintiff was not admonished

11. Admitted.
12. This allegation refers to Defendant's counsel's belief and therefore no
response is necessary.
13. Admitted.
14. Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs counsel provided Defendant's

issue.
15. This allegation refers to Defendant's belief and therefore no response is

include in this averment, which indicates that Mr. Barber's only physical contact with the
child was a slap on the hand in a disciplinary fashion.
20. Admitted.

22. Plaintiff is without sufficient knowledge to either admit or deny this
averment. Plaintiff did, however, hear the child ask her father to stop calling the police

NEW MATTER - Health and Safety of the Child
34. Paragraphs 1 through 33 are incorporated as if fully set forth herein.
35. Defendant continues to contact local authorities in Bayonne, New Jersey
to make reports about Plaintiff and her boyfriend, Mr. Thomas Barber.
36. Neither the local police nor the Division of Youth and Family Services
(DYFS) serving Bayonne, New Jersey have ever found any problem in Plaintiff s home
or with Plaintiff or Mr. Barber.
37. Defendant's continued unfounded reports to local authorities regarding
Plaintiff and the members of her home are causing emotional harm to Plaintiff, the child
at issue, and the other children in Plaintiff's home.
38. The child is currently in play therapy with Kristen Luzzi, MA, SPT at the
Jersey City Medical Center.
39. Ms. Luzzi has offered for Defendant to be a part of the play therapy so that
she would have an opportunity to speak with him; however Defendant did not appear for
the scheduled therapy session at which he agreed to be present.
40. Ms. Luzzi has indicated that a psychological evaluation of the parties
would be beneficial to her therap with the child.
41. Defendant's current petition is the third such petition in eleven months.
The allegations in each petition are substantially similar, with the addition in the current
petition of demanding information to which Defendant is not entitled and which has no
bearing on the instant case.
42. Even if all of Defendant's allegations are true as set forth in the petitions,
they do not rise to the level of an emergency, given the fact that the Bayonne, New Jersey
police and DYFS offices have been continually involved and have repeatedly assured the
safety of the child.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that this Honorable Court dismiss Defendant's
Petition for Emergency Relief, or, in the alternative, schedule this matter for a hearing
prior to the next scheduled custodial exchange on May 23, 2010. Plaintiff also requests
that this Honorable Court direct that Mother, Father, each paramour, and the child shall
submit to psychological evaluations to be completed within 60 days of the date of the
order to be conducted by a psychologist chosen jointly by the parties.

34. Averments I through 33 are incorporated by reference as if set forth more fully
herein.
35. Denied as stated. Moreover Defendant specifically denies any implication that the
contacts referenced were improper, inappropriate, or without a basis to complain, especially after
Plaintiffs paramour again abused the minor child in the presence of the Defendant by literally
grabbing and pulling the child away from the Defendant while the child was in his arms. By way
of further answer, a police officer was present for the April 25, 2010 exchange between the
parties and observed the child's behavior which led to the instant filing. It is unknown which
party called the police to observe but it is the undersigned's belief that the officer was called by
the Plaintiff. Further, neither Plaintiff nor her counsel offer any explanation regarding the
reported observations of the minor child by a trained observer. Specifically, there is no indication
that the child's statements were encouraged or coerced. To the contrary, by the officer's report,
it appears that the statements by the child were spontaneous and genuine. Additionally, the
officer indicated to Defendant that the instant action should be undertaken given the existence
of a Pennsylvania Custody Order. If the Plaintiff and her counsel had been more cooperative and
r
conciliatory, the instant filing may have been averted as Barber would have reduced his roll as
directed by the Custody Conciliator. Opposing counsel neglects to inform this Honorable Court
that her client withheld the minor child for nearly a year and refused to provide the undersigned
any reason for the behavior as she was "under no obligation" to inform the undersigned why her
client was withholding the child. Additionally, Plaintiff has routinely filed child abuse complaint
against the Plaintiff during the past year in retaliation for some unknown perceived slight and,
each of the complaints was determined to be unfounded. A true and correct copy of the officer's
police report was attached as Exhibit "A" to the Petition which was filed April 30, 2010.
36. Defendant is unsure what the term "problem" means and, therefore, this averment
is denied in its entirety. By way of further answer, the authorities in the locality have entered
the equivalent of a "no contact" order against Barber after he again interfered in a custodial
exchange with Defendant. The undersigned has previously reported Barber's behavior to
opposing counsel with no change in Barber's behavior resulting. A true and correct copy of this
document is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
37. Denied as stated. By way of further answer, Defendant respectfully submits that
the aforementioned police report which was attached as Exhibit "A" in the instant Petition
indicates otherwise and establishes an official basis for Defendant's concerns. Further, Defendant
believes and therefore avers that Plaintiff is providing "adult" information to the minor child
regarding this matter in an attempt to alienate her from her father. Otherwise, the minor child
would not be aware of the occurrences in this matter. Moreover, Plaintiffs and opposing
counsel's refusal to provide information regarding any children of which Barber may be the father
and provide any information regarding the custodial status of such children raises concerns in
both the Defendant and undersigned. Opposing counsel merely dismisses the requests as
irrelevant and states that the undersigned is not entitled to the information. Given many of the
averments regarding Barber to date, the undersigned respectfully submits that the information is
relevant and could have a bearing on this Honorable Court's outlook on this matter if it is
established that Barber has had children removed from his custody for abusive behavior or other
reasons. Such information is pertinent and relevant and would provide additional information to
aid this Honorable Court in reaching a determination as how to proceed further in this matter.
38. Admitted. By way of further answer, Plaintiff unilaterally placed the child in play
therapy without prior discussion or consultation with or authorization by Defendant. Arguably,
such conduct is violative of the Custody Order as the parties enjoy shared legal custody and,
Plaintiff should have discussed this matter with him prior to unilaterally undertaking the action.
39. Denied as stated. Defendant may have agreed to be present if possible, but he has
had car problems and was unable to travel to participate. Defendant is of limited means and the
sessions were scheduled in the midst of his work day.
40. Defendant is without sufficient information to determine the truth or falsity of this
averment. Hence, it is denied. The undersigned was never provided any information regarding
this statement prior to the instant averment by the Plaintiff.
41. Denied as stated. Defendant specifically denies that the Petitions were not of an
emergency nature. The initial Petition was filed after Plaintiff denied all contact to Defendant
with the minor child for nearly one year and Plaintiff and her counsel refused to address the
matter without the filing of a Petition. The undersigned undertook extraordinary efforts to avoid
filing a Petition and opposing counsel did not return numerous telephone calls or letters. In fact,
the undersigned was informed once that one of the reasons opposing counsel had not returned
telephone calls because the undersigned had not requested a return call despite leaving a return
telephone number. The second and third Petitions were filed after another episode of Barber's
continued interference with and threats upon Defendant. If opposing counsel agrees that all the
rancor in this matter is having a detrimental effect upon the minor child, the undersigned
respectfully submits that opposing counsel implicitly agrees that this matter is of an emergency
nature which requires the intervention of this Honorable Court.
42. Legal conclusion to which no response is required. To the degree that a response
is determined to be necessary, Defendant respectfully denies this averment.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter an
emergency order granting custody of the minor child to Defendant, expeditiously scheduling this
matter for a hearing on Defendant's Petition, and dismiss Plaintiffs New Matter.
Respectfully submitted,

No. 07-960 Civil Term
ACTION IN CUSTODY
COURT ORDER
AND NOW, this 20' day of August 2010, upon consideration of the
attached Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed that:
C?1. All previous Orders of Court entered in this matter are hereby VACATED and
replaced with this Order.
2. Legal Custody: The Father, Wilberto Correa-Salcedo, and the Mother, Andrea
Curtin, shall have shared legal custody of Savanna Correa, born 12/08/2005. The
parties shall have an equal right to make all major non-emergency decisions
affecting the Child's general well-being including, but not limited to, all decisions
regarding her health, education and religion. Pursuant to the terms of 23 Pa.C.S.
§5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and information pertaining to
the Child including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school
records, the residence address of the Child and of the other parent. To the extent
one parent has possession of any such records or information, that parent shall be
required to share the same, or copies thereof, with the other parent within such
reasonable time as to make the records and information of reasonable use to the
other parent.
3. Physical Custody: Mother and Father shall share physical custody of the Child
pursuant to the following schedule:
a. During the school year, Father shall have alternating weekends from 5:00
pm Friday until 6:00 pm Sunday. Father shall have a make-up weekend
following Easter 2010 (three weekends in a row).
b. During the summer, Father shall have custody during the second and third
weeks of July and August beginning on the second Friday of the month at
5:00 pm and ending on the fourth Sunday of the month at 6:00 pm.
c. Father shall have custody for a seven day period beginning on the Sunday
following the Child's last day in June. (In light of the fact that the Child's
educational program for 2010 ends at the end of June, this essentially
means that Father will be having three weeks of custody in the month of
July 2010. Once the Child begins regular school, Father shall have one
week in the month of June 2011 pursuant to the first sentence of this sub-
paragraph).
Street and Avenue
d. The custody exchanges shall occur at the corner of 16th
C in Bayonne, N.J. absent agreement otherwise.
e. Mother has agreed to not, and shall not, have Mother's paramour be
present for the custody exchanges.
f. Father shall be permitted to exercise additional periods of partial custody
as mutually agreed by the parties.
4. Holidays: The parties shall adhere to the attached holiday schedule unless
otherwise mutually agreed upon. The holiday schedule takes precedence over the
regular custodial schedule.
5. Passport: Both parents have agreed to, and shall, cooperate to have the Child
issued a passport. Both parents have agreed to, and shall be allowed to, Mother to
go on a cruise to Bermuda in 2011 and for Father to visit relatives in Puerto Rico.
It is understood that the destination for each parent for their respective trips may
change; in said event of a change in destination, each party shall notify the other
at least 45 days in advance of the requested trip.
6. Father shall contact Mother one week prior to his stated periods of partial custody
to confirm that he will be exercising partial custody of the Child during these
stated periods.
7. Mother and Father shall not leave the Child in the care of anyone that is not a
responsible adult. Furthermore, each parent shall, to the extent possible, endeavor
to have either the parents, or family members, care for the subject Child when the
Child is in their respective custody.
8. Both parents shall provide the names and addresses of the Child's treating
professionals and give adequate advance notice of any scheduled appointments.
9. Mother and Father shall not take the Child out of New Jersey or Pennsylvania
with out prior permission from the other parent.
10. Unless Mother and Father mutually agree otherwise, the custody exchanges will
occur at the corner of 16th Street and Avenue C in Bayonne, NJ.
11. Mother and Father shall agree upon drop off and pick up times and dates that are
not already specified in this agreement.
12. Mother and Father shall notify each other of all medical care the Child receives
while in that parent's care. Mother and Father shall notify the other immediately
of medical emergencies which arise while the Child is in that parent's care.
13. Neither parent will do anything which may estrange the Child from the other
parent, or injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent or which may
hamper the free and natural development of the Child's love and respect for the
other parent.
14. Mother and Father shall communicate with one another in a respectful manner for
all issues regarding the Child.
15. The non-custodial parent shall be permitted telephone contact with the Child at
7:00 pm every evening.
16. Mother has agreed to, and shall to the extent possible, assist Father in regard to
the transportation costs for the custody exchanges.
17. This Order is entered pursuant to a Custody Conciliation Conference. The parties
may modify this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of mutual consent, the
terms of this Order shall control.

v. NO. 07-960
W ILBERTO CORREA-SALCEDO, CIVIL ACTION -CUSTODY
Defendant
DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION
FOR DETERMINATION OF INCONVENIENT FORUM
PURSUANT TO PAC.S. SECTION 5427
AND NOW comes the Defendant, Wilberto Correa-Salcedo (father), by and through his
attorney, Gary L. Kelley, and respectfully responds to Plaintiffs Motion as follows, and, in support
therein, avers the following:
1. Admitted. By way of further answer, Plaintiff resides with her paramour who has a
criminal record for theft and unauthorized use of a credit/bank card. It is believed and therefore
averred that at least some of these crimes were committed by Plaintiffs paramour against her.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted that Savannah Correa, DOB 12/8/05, is the natural child of the parties. The
remainder of this averment is denied as stated. By way of further answer, the minor child resides
with her father in Pennsylvania during his periods of alternating physical custody when the Plaintiff
otherwise does not wrongfully withhold the child from him or go to great lengths to otherwise
impend and discourage him from exercising his periods of alternating physical custody. More
recently, Plaintiff withheld the child from her father in early 2009 for a period of over ninety (90)
days. As a result, the father was forced to seek the assistance of this Honorable before Plaintiff
would allow him to regularly see his daughter.
4. Denied as stated. While Plaintiff may have begun custody proceedings in February
2007, Plaintiff neglects to inform this Honorable Court that she had abandoned the child and left her
in the custody and care of the father, Mr. Salcedo, for approximately one (1) year. During this
period of time, Plaintiff had little to no contact with the minor child and offered no assistance to him
for her care and custody. In fact, father provided all support for the minor child and never filed a
support complaint seeking support for the minor child. After not having heard from Plaintiff for an
extended period of time, naturally, the father was concerned that Plaintiff would secret the child out
of the area and her would never see the child again when she demanded that he return the child to
her with no conditions after she had been absent from the minor child's life for approximately (1)
year.
5. Denied as stated. See response to Averment 4. Moreover, given her lengthy absence,
father is unsure precisely where mother was resided at the time she filed as well as who was residing
at the residence with her as well.
6. Denied. By way of further answer, Plaintiffs paramour, Thomas Barber, resides at
this address as well. Father believes that mother intentionally neglected to inform this Honorable
Court of this fact as the child has a poor relationship with Barber and frequently is frightened by him
as was evidenced by a police report which was attached as an exhibit in a prior pleading. The minor
child resides with her father in Pennsylvania during his periods of alternating physical custody and
has a large number of her extended family living in the immediate area as well as the physician
which treated her during her residence in the immediate area.
7. Denied. By way of further answer, father resides at 1816 North Street, Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania 17103 and has provided this address to mother when he informed her of the address
of his residence.
S. Denied as stated. By way of further answer, the minor child resides with her father
in the immediate area during father's periods of alternating physical custody. Further, father believes
that this is not the original address at which mother resided when she initially moved to New Jersey.
Father believes that mother has lived at least at two other addresses in New Jersey during this same
period.
9. As mother has failed to identify which specific court would assume jurisdiction of this
matter, father is without sufficient knowledge to determine the truth or falsity of this averment.
Hence, it is denied. By way of further answer, were this matter transferred to the Court of Common
Pleas of Dauphin County, the distance between this Honorable Court and the Court of Common Pleas
of Dauphin County is approximately thirty (30) miles.
10. Denied as stated. Evidence to resolve the continuing litigation is also available in the
immediate area, including, but not limited to, Children and Youth Reports and medical records.
11. Denied as stated. There are also additional witnesses residing in the immediate area
as well who will be necessary to resolve the continuing litigation.
12. Denied as stated. By way of further answer, there are witnesses and documentary
evidence readily available in the immediate area and the Court of Common Pleas could expeditiously
hear this matter if it were transferred to Dauphin County as previously set forth herein.
13. The father is unsure of what mother means by the term "regularly." Hence, this
averment is denied. By way of further answer, father attempts to abide by the schedule of alternating
physical custody as this Honorable Court has previously set forth. However, mother has consistently
violated the terms of this Honorable Court's Order by refusing father to spend his periods of
alternating physical custody with the minor child and sporadically imposing a new and/or different
schedule upon father, essentially telling father "this is the only time you may see your child."
14. Denied as stated.
15. Conclusion of law to which no response is necessary. To the degree that a response
is warranted, this averment is denied.
16. Admitted.
17. Denied as stated. While opposing counsel may have called the undersigned, he did
not leave a specific message regarding the reason for the call nor did he send a letter by regular mail
