DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S PETITION TO TRANSFER VENUE
1. Admitted; Mr. Pechart has been living in the Shermansdale area for approximately
five years.
2. Denied as stated. Ms. Pechart lived on a purely temporary basis with friends in the
New Bloomfield area for approximately three weeks. As is stated further in the Petition, Ms.
Pechart now lives at 260-B Willow Mill Park Road, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050.
3. Denied as stated. The address is actually 260-B Willow Mill Park Road,
Mechanicsburg (Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County), PA 17050. Ms. Pechart
actually moved there in late March, 2005. She was scheduled to move there on February
22, 2005, or March 1, 2005, but had to wait for the premises to receive repairs. A copy of
the first page of Ms. Pechart's lease is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A" and
incorporated herein by reference.
4. Denied, This averment is a conclusion of law to which no response is required.
5, Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no response is required.
6. Denied, This averment is not really susceptible of a response in that it is an
expression of Petitioner Robert L. Pechart's wishes.
7, Denied as stated. It is difficult to determine what is meant by the phrase "a great
deal of information." Further, even if information from Mr. Pechart's side of the case is
available in Perry County, the more significant information is available in Cumberland
County, where the case was initially filed, and where it should stay. Julie L. Pechart is a
resident of Cumberland County and has been a resident of Cumberland County throughout
the pendency of this action, except for a temporary three week absence between February
and March, 2005. Further, the child has always attended school and done all of his other
significant activities in Cumberland County and the case should stay in Cumberland County.
8. Denied. As noted in the previous paragraph, Respondent Julie L. Pechart's
presence in New Bloomfield was temporary, only until she could find new housing in
Cumberland County, which she has done, since March, 2005.
WHEREFORE, Respondent Julie L. Pechart requests that the Court deny Robert
L. Pechart's Petition to Transfer Venue to Perry County, tax the costs of the Petition upon
Robert L. Pechart and order that Robert L. Pechart pay the attorney's fees of Julie L.
Pechart involved with the Petition to Transfer Venue because, as Mr. Pechart should know,
the Petition is frivolous; Respondent Julie L. Pechart also requests that the Court provide
any other relief that the Court deem appropriate.

5. As a result of the foregoing, the existing provisions regarding custody are no longer
in the best interest and welfare of the child,

present visitation schedule for the above reasons,
WHEREFORE, your petitioner respectfully prays that this Honorable Court modifY the
visitation schedule as follows: shared legal custody in the parties with petitioner having primary
physical custody and respondent having partial physical custody,
