waited at the Carlisle Sports Emporium for Father to appear until 12: IS p.m. When Father had
not appeared by that time, Mother had an employee of the Carlisle Sports Emporium document
that she was present at 12: IS p.m. by executing a document to that effect. Mother, then believing
that Father was not going to appear for the visitation, exited the Carlisle Sports Emporium with
the minor children and proceeded to hcr vehicle in thc parking lot. Mother proceeded to exit the
parking lot of the Carlisle Sports Emporium at approximately 12:20 p.m. Mother was able to
observe, that neither Father nor his vehicle was in lhe parking lot atthc time she exited. Mother
admits that at approximately 1 :05 p.m. Father tclephoned Mother's residence and spoke to
Mother's father. However, it is denied that Mother's father informed Father that "they were
, where you were supposed to be and they are not coming back, you God damned druggie." In
fact, at the time Father spoke to Mother's father, Mother had not yet returned to her residence
and thus, her father was unaware of the fact that Father had not appeared for the visitation in a
timely fashion. Accordingly, Mother's father very politely infomled Father that "they are where
you were supposed to be." Accordingly, it is denied that there was an outburst by Mother's
father however, Mother's father did terminate the phone call after informing Father that the
children were where he was supposed to be.
6. Admitted. However, the tone of Father's voice in leaving the message was
quite irate and not calm and concilliatory as his allegation implie~.
7. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is denied that Mother has demonstrated a
history of using the children, specitically denying Father access to them for reasonable period of
partial custody/visitation, based on her perception of what is in their best interest and based upon
Mother's continual unilateral refusal to abide by orders of this court respecting custody and
visitation. In flU:t, the only time Mother has denied Father periods of partial physical custody
pwsuant to a court order is when she became aware that Father had been charged with possession
of illegal drugs and, based on hcr obscrvations of Father's bchavior, believed him to be under the
influence of illegal dmgs. Moreovcr, Mothcr quitc corrcctly petitioned the court to modify the
custody order once this information came to light. It is admitted that on Fcbruary I, 1998, Father
informed Mothcr that the supervised visitation site for February 7, 1998 would bc his residence
and that Mother indicated that that visitation sitc was not acceptable. However, at that time, the
court's custody order had not yet been reduccd to written form and Mother was not aware that
Father's residence was a visitation site approved by the court. It is denied that Mother told
Father that his residence was out of the question and that visitation would never occur there. To
the contrary Mother indicated to Father that she did not believe his residence was a permitted site
for visitation to occur. When Father indicated that it was Mother said she would check with her
attorney. Mother did not threaten to end the February I, 1998 visitation. However, when Father
continued to harass her conceming the next visitation to the point that strangers were staring at
the parties, Mother informed Father that she would call the police if he did not leave her alone.
Moreover, it is denied that there were several days of discussions between counsel for the
respective parties as the communieation between counsel for the parties in regard to this issue
consisted of a letter from Father's counsel, a letter from Mother's counsel, and one telephone call
between counsel for both parties. Furthermore, it is denied that the discussions between counsel
resulted in no progress. In fact, in the letter from Mother's counsel to Father's counsel, Mother's
counsel indicated that mother had informed Father that his rcsidence was not an acceptable
visitation site because she had been unaware that the court directed otherwise but that since that
time. Mother had received a copy of the court order and was aware that Father's residence was an
acceptable visitation site. Accordingly, it is clear that Mother had every intent of abiding by the
court order in pre~enting the children at Father's residence for visitation. Nevertheless, dllring a
telephone conversation between counsel for both parties, in which Mother's counsel confirmed
with Father's eounselthalthe visitation would occur at Father's residence, Mother's counsel also
indicated to Father's counsel that Mothcr was at that time attempting to find allother supervisor
to supervise thc visit us her mothcr was unwilling to do so and as shc did not fcel comfortable
supervising the visit at Father's home. In the altcrnativc, Mother's counsel infonncd Father's
counsel that she was attempting to find a friend to jointly supervise the visitation with her. Thus,
Mother'~ counsel asked Father's counsel iftherc was a supervisor that Fathcr could perhaps
suggest for said visits at Father's residence. As Fathcr and Father's counsel practice out of the
same office. Father's counsel put Mother's counsel on hold indicating that he would ask Father
for the names ofa substitute supervisor. When Father's counsel got back on the phone, hc
indicated that Father had changed his mind and that the visit would not occur at his residence but
at the Carlisle Sports Emporium. A copy of the letters bctween counsel conceming the issue of
visitation at Father's residence are attached hereto markcd exhibit "A" and incorporated by
reference herein as if set forth at length.
8. Denied. To the contrary, Mother intends to fully comply with this court's
order of January 30, 1998. In fact, Mother complied with the January 30, 1998 Court Order on
February 8, 1998 when she appeared at Father's request, at the Carlisle Sports Emporium with
the children. Father appeared in a timely fashion and the visit occurred and went smoothly until
the end when Father, in the children's presence and very loudly, informed Mother that she would
be in jail by the next weekend.
9. Neither admitted nor denied as this does not require a response.
10. Denied. To the contrary. father's possession and presumed use of illegal
drugs presents a danger to his children so as 10 make partial physical custody with him not in the
best interest oflhe children until such time as, pursuant to the January 30,1998 order of court, it
has been shown that father is no longer under the influence of illegal drugs for a sustained period

John R. Beinhaur, Esquire

Harrisburg, PA 17109.2813
Re: DiLeonardo v. Dileonardo
Dear Mr. Beinhaur:
The argumentative tone of your February 3, 1998 letter to Jack, which I am responding to
in his absence, is not only UMecessary but unproductive given the circumstances of this case.
Moreover, it appears as though your client failed to provide you with all of the facts concerning
this past weekend's supervised visitation. For instance, it does not appear that Mr. DiLeonardo
informed you that he was 45 minutes late in appearing for the supervised visitation and that
despite this Mrs. Dileonardo waited with the children for him to appear although she clearly had
no duty to do so. Moreover, when your client insisted upon what my client has described as
ranting and raving to her about various issues, Mrs. Dileonardo quite correctly instructed him
that he should be spending time with his children during the supervised visitation rather than
insisting that she enter into discussions with him.
It is true that when Mr. Dileonardo provided her with notice that the next visitation
would be at his re.sidence, that she indicated that that would not occur. However, she was not
aware that the judge had indicated in his court order that Mr. DiLeonardo's residence was a
possit-Ie location for the ~upervised visitations. As you know, at that point, the court order had
not been provided to either party. In fact, Mrs. DiLeonardo telephoned me on Monday and
questioned whether or not Mr. DiLeonardo's residence was an allowable location for the
supervised visitations pursuant to the court order. At that POilll, I advised Mrs. Dileonardo that I
believed that the court had indicated that Mr. DiLeonardo's residence was an allowable location
but that I had not yet received the court order. As we now have the court order in our possession,
it is clear that his residence is an allowable location for the supervised visits.
However, Mrs. DiLeonardo's mother is not willing to supervi~e the visitations at any
location. Furthermore, given the heightened tensions in this case, Mrs. DiLeonardo, as I am sure
you can understand, does not feel comfortable supervising the visitations at Mr. DiLeonardo's
residence. Accordingly, she is going to attempt to find a substitute supervisor for said visits that
will be acceptable to both her and Mr. Dileonardo. In the alternative, if she is not able to find
JOHN G. DILEONARDO,
Plaintiff/Respondent
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
: CUMBERLAND COUNT~, PENNS~LVANIA
v,
CATH~ S. DILEONARDO, CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Defendant/Petitioner NO, 97-4876 CIVIL TERM
IN RE: CUSTOO~
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 30th day of January, 1998, the
parties having placed a stipulation on the record, a copy of
which is attached hereto, the following order is entered
pursuant to said stipulation:
1, Supervised partial custody shall commence
immediately,
2. Unsupervised partial custody in accordance with
the November 3rd, 1997, order will commence on Friday, February
13, 1998. Provided, however, that the commencement of such
overnight unsupervised partial custody shall be conditioned upon
Respondent having two drug free urine tests performed by Omega
Labs, 4824 Londonderry Road. Said two tests are to be done on a
random basis with times to be selected by Petitioner's counsel,
Said random tests will be between February 4, 1998, and February
13, 1998.
3, When the overnight partial custody commences, it
will be on alternate weekends and in accordance with the order
of November 3, 1997. Provided, however, that for the first six
periods of unsupervised partial custody Respondent shall submit
to a drug screen urinalysis at Omega Labs on the Friday of the
commencement of partial custody and the Monday morning
immediately subsequent to the exercising of said partial
custody, for a total of twelve additional drug screen te.ts.
4, In the event that any of the tests indicate. drug
useage, unsupervised partial custody will cease immediately and
supervised partial custody shall be reinstituted pending further
order of this Court,
5. The costs of all drug tests referred to above
shall be borne by Respondent.
6, The results of the tests shall be communicated by
Omega Labs by fax and first class mail to counsel for both
parties at the same time.
7, In addition to the tests described above, counsel
for Petitioner may direct Respondent to submit to two more
random drug screens at Omega Labs between the first and sixth
weekend of unwupervised partial custody. The costs of said
additional random tests shall be borne by Petitioner.
8, Notice of all random tests to be performed
pursuant to this order shall be at the discretion of
Petitioner's counsel, Provided, howuver, that at least three
hours advance notice shall be giv~n to Respondent, Provided
further, that no notice shall be given earlier than 6:00 a.m,
nor later than 10:00 p,m,
9, Respondent shall. provide at least three telephone
numbers to Petitioner's counsel at which he can be reached, If
Respondent tails to submit to a random test as requested by
Petitioner's counsel, unsupervised partial custody ohall cease
immediately and supervised partial custody will commence until a
hearing can be scheduled before this Court,
10, If Petitioner's counsel leaves a message on one
of the answering machines at one of the numbers provided by
Respondent, it will be presumed, for the purposes of this order,
that he got the me5sage, Therefore, Respondent's failure to
take the drug test will authorize Petitioner to cease
unsupervised partial custody and to commence supervised partial
custody pending further order of this Court.
11, During the period of unsupervised partial
custody, the children are to be in the presence of Respondent at
all times and are not to be left in the care or custOdy of
anyone other than him.
since the parties were unable to agree on times and
places for supervised partial ~ustody, this Court orders that
Respondent is granted supervised partial custody this Sunday,
February 1, 1998, from 12:00 noon until 5:00 p,m,; next
Saturday, February 7, 1998, from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p,m.; and
next Sunday, February 8, 1998, from 12:00 noon until 5:00 p,m.
Said supervised partial custody shall be in the
company of Mary Tomczak at such places as father desires to
exercise said partial custody with the children including, but
waited at the Carlisle Sports Emporium for Father to appear until 12: 15 p.m. When Father had
not appeared by that time, Mother had an employee of the Carlisle Sports Emporium document
that she was present at 12:15 p.m. by executing a document to that effect. Mother, then believing
that Father was not going 10 appear for the visitation, exited the Carlisle Sports Emporium with
the minor children and proceeded to her \'ehicle in the parking lot. Mother proceeded to exit the
parking lot of the Carlisle Sports Emporium at approximately 12:20 p.m. Mother was able to
observe, that neither Father nor his vehicle was in the parking lot at the time she exited. Mother
admits that at approximately 1:05 p,m. Father telephoned Mother's residence and spoke to
Mother's father. However, it is denied that Mother's I"ther infomled Father that "they were
where you were supposed to be and they are not coming back, you God damned druggie." In
fact, at the time Father spoke to Mother's father, Mother had not yet retumed to her residence
and thus, her father was unaware of the fact that Father had not appeared for the visitation in a

you were supposed to be." Accordingly, it is denied that there was an outburst by Mother's
father however, Mother's father did terminate the phone call after infomling Father that the
children were where he was supposed to be.
6. Admitted. However, the tone of Father's voice in leaving the message was
quite irate and not calm and concilliatory as his allegation implics.
7. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is denied that Mother has demonstrated a

the contrary Mother indicat~d to Father that she did not believe his residence was a permitted site
for visitation to occur. When Father indicated that it was Mother said she would check with her
attorney. Mother did not threaten to end the February I, 1998 visitation. However, when Father
continued to harass her concerning the next visitation to the point that strangers were staring at
the parties, Mother infornled Father that she would call the police if he did not leave her alone.
Moreover, it is denied that there were several days of discussions between counsel for the
respective parties as the communication between counsel for the parties in regard to this issue
consisted of a letter from Father's counsel, a letter from Mother's counsel, and one telephone call
between counsel for both parties. Furthermore, it is denied that the discussions between counsel
resulted in no progress. In fact, in the letter from Mother's counsel to Father's counsel, Mother's
counsel indicated that mother had informed Father that his residence was not an acceptable
visitation site because she had becn unaware that the court directed otherwise but that since that
time, Mother had received a copy of the court order and was aware that Father's residence was an
acceptable visitation site. Accordingly, it is clear that Mother had every intent of abiding bJlthe
court order in presenting the children at Fathcr's residence for visitation. Ne.vel'1heless, during a
telephone conversation between counsel for both parties, in which Mother's counsel cQnfirrned

Re: I2.i1&onardo v. Dileonardo
Dear Mr. Beinhaur:
The argumentative tone of your February 3, 1998 letter to Jack, which I am responding to
in his absence, is not only Wlllecessary but unproductive given the circumstances of this case.
Moreover, it appears as though )'our client (ailed to provide you with all o( the (acls concerning
this past weekend's supervised visitation. For instance, it does not appear that Mr. Dileonardo
infonned you that he was 45 minutes late in appearing (or the supervised visitation and that
despite this Mrs. Dileonardo waited with the children (or him to appear although she clearly had
no duty to do so. Moreover, when your client insisted upon what my client has described as
ranting and raving to her about various issues, ~1rs. Dileonardo quite correctly instructed him
that he should be spending time with his children during the supervised visitation rather than
insisting that she enter into di!(ussions with him.
It is true that when ~1r. Dileonardo provided her with notice that the next visitation
would be at his residence, that she indicated that that would not occur. However, she was not
aware that the judge had indicated in his court order that Mr. Dileonardo's residence was a
possible location (or the super..ised visitations. As you know, at that point, the court order had
not been provided to either party. In fact, ~1rs. Dileonardo telephoned me on Monday and
questioned whether or not Mr. Dileonardo's residence was an allowable location for the
supervised visitations pursuant to the court order. At that point, I advised Mrs. Dileonardo that I
believed that the court had indicated that ~1r. DiLeonardo's residence was an allowable location
but that I had not yet received the court order. As we now have the court order in our possession,
it is clear that his residence is an allowable location (or the supervised visits.
Howel'er, ~lrs. DiLeon::rdo's l11otl:er is not willing to supero'lse the visitations at any
location. Furthemlore, given the heightened tensions in this case, Mrs. Dileonardo, as I am sure
you can understand, does not feel comfortable supervising the visitations at Mr. DiLeonardo's
residence. Accordingly, she is gcing to ::::er.'.~t to find a substitLle supervisor for said visits that
will be acceptable to both her and :-'lr. DiLeonardo. In the altema:iH, i( she is not able to find

sccretary that the secrctary believed Father to be utilizing drugs, specifically cocaine. Falher's
secretary informcd Mother that she heard Father on several occasions "snorting" in his office.
Moreover, when she went into his oftice to get something, shc noticcd a rollcd up piece of paper
on his desk. In addition, Father's secretary infornled Mothcr that Fathcr would wear sun shades,
a lot of the time, was frequently disheveled, and failed to appear at work on many occasions.
5. According, Mother advised Father that she would not allow him to have overnight
custody with the children until such time as he took a drug test and the drug test came back
negative.
6. As a result, Father, on September 9, 1997 tiled a complaint for custody in which he
requested shared legal and partial physical custody of the parties' minor children.
7. A custody conciliation conference was scheduled and held before Michael Bangs,
Esquire, on October 23, 1997.
8. At the conciliation conference, Mother advanced her position that she believed Father
to be under the influence of illegal drugs much of the time and revealed to the conciliator as well
as Father's counsel and Father the source of her information.
9. Father would not agree to the voluntary drug testing although he represented that he
was not utilizing illegal drugs. Moreover, the custody conciliator, indicated to Mother and her
counsel that based on the information Mother had that he did not believe it was enough for the
court to direct drug testing. However, he indicated his willingness to place into a court order a
direction that the parties will not use illegal drugs or abuse alcohol while the children are in their
respective care or under their supervision.
10. Accordingly, based on the direction of the custody conciliatol', the parties entered
into an agreed upon custody order. A copy of that order which is dllted November 3, 1997, is
