COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
NOW comes the Plaintiff, Holly D. Kennedy, by her attorney, Nathan C. Wolf, Esquire, and
respectfully represents as follows:
1.) Plaintiff is Holly D. Kennedy, (hereinafter "Mother"), an adult individual, who resides at 302
Stonehouse Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17015.
2) Defendant is Joshua A. Kennedy, (hereinafter, "Father"), an adult individual, who resides at 214
East Orange Street, Apartment A, Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17257.
3) Father seeks an order granting shared legal custody and partial physical custody of the parties
minor child, namely:
N=
Deanna Elizabeth Kennedy
Present Residence
214 East Orange Street
Apartment A
Shippensburg, PA 17257
Age
2 years
DOB 12/05/2005
4.) Mother and Father are the natural parents of the child.
5.) The child was born of the marriage of the parties. The child is presently in the custody of
Father, who has refused to allow Mother to see the child since January 30, 2008. The child has
lived in the primary custody of mother since birth, but the Father has had at least some periods of
custody throughout the child's life.
6.) The parties were married October 28, 2004, but have been separated since approximately
January 25, 2008.
7.) Mother has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in other litigation
concerning the custody of the child in this or another court.
8.) Mother has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the child pending in any
court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
9.) Mother does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical custody
of the child or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the child.
10.) The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting the relief
requested herein because Mother has been the primary caretaker of the child since the child's birth.
11.) The parties had been separated between December 15, 2006 and approximately June 1,
2007. From shortly after the child's birth until the parties' separation, the child resided with Mother
and Father in Maternal Grandmother's home.
12.) During the time of the parties' separation, the child lived primarily with Mother but saw
Father on an infrequent basis, and only when Father would see the child while the child was in the
care of her paternal grandparents.
13.) After the parties reconciled in 2007 and until their final separation in January 2008, the
Mother and Father shared in the caretaking duties of the child but the child resided with both
parents.
14.) On or about January 30, 2008, Mother and paternal grandmother spoke by telephone and
paternal grandmother offered to watch the child while Mother attempted to secure adequate
transportation for herself and to reestablish herself following Mother and Father's separation.
15.) Mother agreed to allow paternal grandmother to care for the child temporarily while
Mother attempted to reestablish herself and dropped the child off at the paternal grandmother's
home.
16.) On or about February 1, 2008, Mother contacted paternal grandmother to see how the child
was doing and was given an update.
17.) During the time between February 1, 2008 and February 14, 2008, Mother attempted to
contact the paternal grandparents frequently and began having difficulties actually speaking with
grandmother, who would not return calls placed by Mother.
18.) Finally on February 12, 2008 or February 13, 2008, Mother contact Father directly who
informed Mother that she could pick the child up to see her whenever Mother could make
arrangements to get to Shippensburg.
19.) When Mother did arrive in Shippensburg on February 14, 2008, paternal grandmother
refused to allow Mother to have custody of the child.
20.) The Shippensburg Borough Police Department refused to return custody of Mother
without a court order authorizing the same.
21.) Paternal grandmother now, despite her willingness to care for the child previously, claims
that Mother has abandoned the child and refused to return the child to Mother, and would not even
permit Mother to hold the child while Mother was in paternal grandmother's home.
22.) Mother submits that this denial of custody of the child is outrageous conduct on the part of
a third-party who has no claim of custody.
23.) Mother submits that an Order granting her primary physical custody would be most
appropriate because during their prior separation, Mother did not do anything to keep the child from
Father. On the contrary, Mother encouraged contact between the child and Father.
24.) Now, by contrast Father has refused to allow Mother to see the child whatsoever.
25.) Mother submits that if granted the relief request, she would continue to encourage and
reinforce the relationship between the child and Father.
26.) Mother maintains a stable home in which to raise the child with a very strong support
network of family members in close proximity.
27.) Mother was excluded from making medical decisions as to treatment for the child,
including a recent visit to a hospital for some undisclosed illness.
28.) Mother was not notified of the visit to the hospital until she called Father and he informed
Mother that the child had been to the hospital.
29.) Mother believes that without an order confirming shared legal and partial physical custody
of the child with him, that Father will completely estrange Mother from the child.
WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth herein, Plaintiff, Holly D. Kennedy, respectfully requests
that the Court enter an order confirming shared legal custody and establishing a schedule for primary
physical custody of the child to the Plaintiff, and a schedule for partial physical custody to the
Defendant along with granting any other relief the Court deems appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,

JOSHUA A. KENNEDY,
Defendant
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
NO. 2007 -1159 CIVIL TERM
IN DIVORCE/CUSTODY
PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
AND NOW comes the Plaintiff, Holly D. Kennedy, by her attorney, Nathan C. Wolf, Esquire, and
respectfully represents as follows:
1.) Plaintiff is Holly D. Kennedy, (hereinafter "Mother"), an adult individual, who resides at 28
Lucinda Drive, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17013.
2.) Defendant is Joshua A. Kennedy, (hereinafter, "Father"), an adult individual, who resides at 109
East Orange Street, Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17257.
3.) The parties are the natural parents of one minor child, namely:
Name Present Residence Age
Deanna Elizabeth Kennedy 28 Lucinda Drive 4 years
Carlisle, PA 17013 DOB 12/05/2005
4.) The parties are subject to an Order of Court, dated March 5, 2008 issued by the Honorable
Edgar B. Bayley, the previous judge in this matter, wherein the parties enjoy shared legal custody,
and shared physical custody on a week on/week off basis, and a holiday schedule. Such Order was
entered by agreement of the parties following a conciliation conference held March 3, 2008. A true
and correct copy of said order is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
?? /"//. &) A4 j w l,4
0 1#- d 3 -7930
5.) Since the entry of the Order, Mother avers that circumstances have changed such that a
modification of the custody Order would be appropriate.
6.) At the time of the entry of the Order, Mother was employed in Chambersburg but lived with
family members in Dickinson Township, and had unusual work hours making a request for primary
custody difficult to justify.
7.) At the time of the entry of the Order, it is believed that Father was unemployed and resided
with his Mother in Shippensburg.
8.) Mother acquiesced in the entry of the shared physical custody Order in 2008 because she
felt, at that time, her schedule and living situation and the availability of transportation were not
adequate to provide for the child on a primary basis.
9.) Mother has resided in her current residence since May 2009 with her boyfriend Troy Swartz,
with whom Mother has another child, Hannah Swartz, DOB 2/05/2009.
10.) Mother is gainfully employed at Giant Food Store on South Spring Garden Street in
Carlisle and works normal hours.
11.) Mother has childcare available within her household and can ensure the child
receives the appropriate level of supervision while she is working.
12.) The child has now reached the age where she will soon begin school and because the
parties reside in different school districts, it will be impractical to maintain shared physical custody
on a week on/week off basis.
13.) Mother resides in the Carlisle School District and Father resides in the Shippensburg
School District.
14.) Mother is primarily responsible for the child's medical care and has ensured that the
child has medical insurance in place.
15.) Mother would like to begin the process of enrolling the child in the Head Start
Program in Carlisle so that the child may have the opportunity to take advantage of that program's
resources prior to entering kindergarten.
16.) Mother believes that the child's best interests will be best served granting primary
physical custody to her because, upon information and belief, Father is being investigated on
charges of identity theft of his daughter's own social security number, which was purportedly used
to obtain credit accounts for cable television and an attempt to obtain a cellular telephone account.
17.) Mother believes that Father was fraudulently using the child's social security number
because of his history of financial instability.
18.) Mother and Father were divorced by decree issued December 30, 2008, which
incorporated but did not merge a marital settlement agreement executed by the parties, which
required Father to make payments on the parties' joint obligations in the amount of $1,700.00 to
American General Finance.
19.) To date, Father has still not satisfied this obligation and has ignored all requests for
payment on this account.
20.) Mother, by contrast, has complied with all of her obligations under the same
agreement.
21.) Mother fears that Father's pending criminal charges and his financial instability will
place the child's future care during his weeks of custody at risk.
22.) As stated previously, Mother is gainfully employed and has a stable household within
which she is prepared to continue to provide for the child's best interests.
23.) Mother has consistently provided emotional, intellectual and financial support to the
child and is well-equipped to continue to be the child's primary caregiver.
24.) If granted primary physical custody, Mother would work to support Father's
continued relationship with the child, and would cooperate in ensuring Father would be able to
continue his contact with the child, in a manner consistent with whatever schedule the Court sees fit
to adopt.
25.) The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting the relief
requested herein because Mother has demonstrated that she has acted in the child's best interests
and has a strong and meaningful relationship with the child.
WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth herein, Plaintiff, Holly Kennedy, respectfully requests
that the Court enter an order confirming shared legal custody, granting primary physical custody of the
child to Plaintiff, and establishing a schedule for partial physical custody of the child to the Defendant,
along with granting any other relief the Court deems appropriate.

status quo or seeks primary physical custody so that the child could attend school in
Shippensburg. Father maintains that the use of the child's social security number was an
error by his girlfriend.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and maintaining the status quo. It is expected that the Hearing will require one
day.

M
Masland, J., July 1~, 2010:--
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 07-1159 CIVIL TERM
AND
Before the court is the petition of mother, Holly D. Kennedy, for
modification of the custody of the minor child, Deanna Elizabeth Kennedy, born
December 5, 2005. ''!The Honorable Edgar B. Bayley issued an order of court
dated March 5, 200$, providing for shared legal custody and shared physical
custody on a week can/week off basis. With Deanna approaching school age and
both parents believirhg she would benefit from a Headstart program in 2010-2011,
this matter was presented to the court in order to determine Deanna's primary
residence in anticipation of her commencing formal education.
At a hearing ~n June 7, 2010, the court heard testimony from the mother
and her fiance, Troy] Swartz, and from the father, Joshua Kennedy, his fiancee,
Mekayla Sewell, and his mother, Patricia Kennedy. At the conclusion of the
hearing, the court directed the parties to address the issue of the necessity of
immediately modifyi~g the existing order over one year prior to Deanna entering
kindergarten. Following a status conference on June 23, 2010, the parties
submitted written ar~ument in support of proposed orders of court.
07-1159 CIVIL TE
DISCUSSION
Regarding the threshold issue of "why now?," the court is satisfied from
the testimony of the parties and argument of counsel that it is in Deanna's best
interest to enroll in a Headstart program for the 2010-2011 school year.
Unfortunately, beca se of scheduling, residency, and transportation issues with
respect to enrollmen in Headstart, it is not feasible for the parties to continue the
week on/week off ar angement while the child is enrolled in a Headstart program
in either Shippensb rg, home of the father, or Carlisle, home of the mother.
Therefore, it is in ev ryone's interest to establish a home base for Deanna at this
time, which, barring any change of circumstances, will also establish where
Deanna will enter the public school system in 2011.
As the court noted at the conclusion of the hearing, it is faced with a
decision that it is bo~h easy and difficult. It is easy because regardless of who is
the primary custodian of Deanna, she will be in good, capable, and loving hands.
Yet, the court recognizes that one set of loving hands is likely to be disappointed,
and for that reason t~is is difficult. Although the court must select a primary
i
custodian for Deanna, its selection should not be interpreted as a criticism of the
parenting skills of the individual not selected. If the parties maintain their focus
on Deanna's best interests, there will be no "losers" in this case. To the contrary,
both families can anld should work to ensure that all are winners and that
Deanna's life is not ~ patchwork quilt of abrupt exchanges, but rather a seamless
tapestry of loving support.

The court de
the strengths and w
parents, their signifi
proposed school di:
the court must now
fines to issue a series of findings that compare and contrast
esses of the parties. Suffice it to say the court finds the
others, their respective extended families, and their
>, to be essentially equal in many respects. Nonetheless,
rmine, based on Deanna's best interests, which parent
will have primary ph~rsical custody.
Although fath~r has made great strides as a parent over the past year, in
large measure due t~ Mekayla's positive influence, the court finds that mother's
long-term nurturanc~, coupled with the presence of Deanna's half-sister,
Hannah, make the mother's home the better of two good living arrangements.
Even Mekayla noted Deanna's affection for Hannah and that she "would never
hinder it." The cour~ is confident that Mekayla will be supportive of the sisters'
relationship; however, the best way to support that bond is to keep the siblings
together. Accordingly, the court enters the following order:
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, t~is ~'~day of July, 2010, upon consideration Mother's
petition for modification of custody, the evidence presented by both parties at a

Petition for Modification
### Petitioner is Defendant, JOSHUA A. KENNEDY, (hereinafter "Father"), who
currently resides at 9920 Tower Road Apt 2, Shippensburg, Franklin County, PA 17257.
### Respondent is Plaintiff, HOLLY D. KENNEDY, (hereinafter "Mother"), who
currently resides at 302 Stonehouse Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA 17013.
### Petitioner and Respondent are the natural parents of the following child:
Name Age
DEANNA E. KENNEDY 5 years
### A custody order was entered on 07/16/2010, in the Cumberland County Court of
Common Pleas. A copy of the custody order is attached.
### Petitioner seeks to modify the custody order because of the following factors and
changes in circumstances:
i. Mother dissolved her relationship with Troy Swartz, whom she testified to be her
fiance, in less than a month following the current order of custody. Mother moved
herself, Deanna and her half-sibling, Hannah Swartz, into Deanna's maternal
grandmother's home.
Pd. 1$W40 A W
psh
R? 9 A3 3,;tq
ii. Father has reason to believe that both children and their mother share one
bedroom in this dwelling.
iii. It is the Father's belief that it will be in Deanna's best interest if she lives in a
stable home environment that provides a reasonable amount of personal space for
Deanna and all parties living in the home.
iv. Father is concerned that Deanna does not get adequate rest during the week when
she attends school and that her current living arrangement will affect her performance
and overall well-being.
V. It shall be noted that Mother began a new relationship within a substantially short
period of time after moving out of her shared residence with Troy Swartz.
vi. Father feels that Deanna will benefit from the consistency of his relationship with
his wife, Mekayla Kennedy, and the stable, positive environment they maintain for
themselves and Deanna.
vii. Father has been denied access to Deanna's health insurance information and
physician contact information by Mother. Father contacted insurance company and
was informed he is not listed as Deanna's father nor authorized to receive any
information regarding her insurance. In addition, Mother did not provide information
regarding the delayed enrollment of Deanna into the Capital Area Headstart.
viii. Since the denial of requested information Father has obtained medical insurance
for Deanna beginning in January 2011 independent of the insurance the Mother has
for Deanna and shall continue to maintain insurance for Deanna as long as she
remains an eligible dependant.
ix. Father was responsible for contacting Capital Area Headstart to inquire about the
status of Deanna's enrollment. The proposed start date was set forth by Mother due to
her inability to situate her work schedule to allow Deanna to begin attending any
sooner than November 17, 2010 as told to Father by the teacher. Father pro-actively
volunteered to transport Deanna so that she may begin attending as soon as possible.
Deanna began attending on November 4, 2010 and Father transported her to/from
school until the end of the week.
X. Father understands the complexity of enrollment and it may have been delayed by
the need to establish primary custody. However, Mother refused to release
information regarding the process, refused to allow Deanna to attend a program with
an immediate opening, and refused the offer of transportation assistance if Deanna
could be enrolled in Shippensburg Headstart while still maintaining previous custody
order of week on/week off schedule.
xi. Father recognizes the presence of Deanna's half-sibling, Hannah Swartz, had
made the Mother's home more desirable to maintain their sisterly bond as addressed
in the current order of custody. However, Hannah's presence in the home is no longer
constant as she will have periods of time outside the Plaintiff's residence with her
father, Troy Swartz. Furthermore, Father feels that either parent's choice to have
children should not influence the decisions regarding Deanna's primary residence.
Father intends to support the bond that has been created between Deanna and her half-
sibling, Hannah, through open communication between the siblings and participation
in activities for the siblings upon mutual agreement of all parties. It shall be noted,
that Father and his wife, Mekayla Kennedy, intend to have children in the near future
thus further supporting the belief that primary physical custody for Deanna should not
be influenced by the presence of half-siblings in either home.
xii. Father has made reasonable attempts to communicate in a positive manner
regarding Deanna's needs and upbringing as per the shared legal custody of Deanna.
Mother refuses to communicate amicably, without regard to create a shared view of
Deanna's upbringing, including but not limited to alternating Deanna's physical
appearance without mutual consent, discussing general health concerns, the
importance of punctuality during exchanges, denying Father as authorized to pick up
Deanna from Headstart in his attempt to alleviate the consistent issue of Mother's
lack of punctuality and refusal to allow additional periods of time with Deanna other
than what has been specifically addressed in the current order of custody.
#0 Petitioner believes the custody order should be changed as follows:
Father shall have primary physical custody and Mother shall have periods of
partial physical custody. Deanna would remain in the Capital Area Headstart Program for
the remainder of the school year and Father will transport her to/ from school each day.
On a three week cycle, Mother shall have Deanna two weekends in a row beginning on
Friday where she will pick Deanna up at Headstart upon its completion of the school day
until Sunday at 4:00 p.m. Father shall have custody on the third weekend. Throughout the
remainder of Deanna's enrollment in Capital Area. Headstart, Mother shall have a period
of custody each Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Holidays shall follow the same
schedule as previous custody order. Winter break shall be addressed more specifically
whereas the party having Deanna for Christmas shall begin their period of custody the day
school begins winter break at 4:00 p.m. and the other party shall have Deanna the day
after Christmas until Sunday at 4:00 p.m. prior to school resuming. Halloween shall also
be included in the holiday schedule whereas on even numbered years Mother shall have
custody from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the designated Trick or Treat evening. Summers
shall be the same as previous order in which both parties shall share custody on a week
on/week off schedule and exchange taking place on Sundays at 4:00 p.m. In matters of
transportation, receiving party shall be responsible for transportation. Father shall enroll
Deanna in the district in which he resides for Kindergarten and all future academic years.
The proposed three week cycle shall be in effect during future academic years with
Mother picking up Deanna at 4:00 p.m. on Friday from Father's residence. During
Deanna's enrollment in Kindergarten and beyond, Mother shall have additional periods of
time, subject to the mutual agreement of both parties, to help support the bond between
Mother and Deanna in addition to the bond between Deanna and her half-sibling, Hannah.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court modify the Order as
requested.
