Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who
has physical custody of the children or claims to have custody or visitation

7. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be
served by granting the relief requested because (set forth facts showing that
the granting of the relief requested will be in the best interest and
permanent welfare of the children):
A. The children are bonded to Plaintiff, Kristin Wiser, hereinafter Mother,
as she has been their primary nurturing parent since birth.
B. Defendant, hereinafter Father, has never resided with the children, but
had developed a relationship with Taylor, the older child, before he was
incarcerated in January, 2002.
C. Mother provides a warm, stable and loving environment in which both
children have flourished.
D. After Taylor's birth, Father regularly used controlled substances, as a
result of which, Mother would not permit Father to have unsupervised time
with the child.
E. Father would visit with Taylor a few hours two or three times a week
at Father's parents' home with Mother present at all times.
F. Father failed to supply any child support; instead Father would take
money from Mother.
G. Father would frequently physically assault Mother in the presence of
the children.
H. Father has punched Mother, pulled Mother's hair, hit her on the side of
the head with a tire iron, hit Mother with his car while Mother was carrying
the infant child, Taylor, and bitten Mother.
For Christmas, 1998, Father bought a number of items for Taylor.
child was given the items on Christmas afternoon; but, the child was not
permitted to take any of the items home with her. Mother learned a few
days later that Father had returned all the gifts to the stores where the
items were purchased.
The
J. Father continued a regular course of assaulting Mother until April
2000, when he began a series of incarcerations and releases.
K. At some point Taylor was given a "Barbie" Jeep by her paternal
grandparents. Father took the toy back and returned it for money, depriving
the child of the toy.
L. Even though Father's time with Taylor was limited, he would frequently
ignore the child once he had taken Mother and Taylor to his parents' home.
M. Tn November, 1999, Father took checks from Mother's parents and
forged them so that Mother's parents have lost about $2,000.
N. Father was arrested and pled guilty to forgery in April 2000, for which
he was sentenced to 15 days to 23 months at Cumberland County Prison.
He had a number of probation violations.
O. Father was arrested for additional forgeries in February 2002, for
which he was sentenced to three sentences of a month to six months to run
after the completion of the original sentence.
P. Since April 2000, Father has rarely seen Taylor, and only spent a few
hours with Chelsea when she was an infant. Father has attempted to
frequently talk with Taylor on the telephone.
Q. Father was on work release in June, 2002, when he escaped.
R. Father has now been sentenced to an additional six to twelve months
incarceration for the escape and his earliest release date is believed to be
November, 2003.
S. Since Father's initial arrest in November, 1999, Father saw Taylor for a
few hours approximately alternate weekends until July 2001.
T. Father has no relationship with Chelsea, having only spent a few hours
with the child when she was only four months old. [Father had a month out
of prison in November, 2001].
U. Father frequently calls Mother in attempts to talk with the children;
however, usually Taylor refuses to talk to Father and has hung up the
telephone herself. Father then argues with Mother in an attempt to control
Mother.
V. It is believed and therefore averred that Father intended to take Taylor
with him when he escaped from Cumberland County prison as he had
previously threatened to take Taylor from child care or school.
W. ]:n the summer of 1999, Mother's parents were awakened at 2:30
a.m., by a stranger. The stranger demanded that Mother's parents pay for
Father's drugs or he would harm Taylor. Mother's parents immediately
called the police.
X. Mother was just sixteen years old when Taylor was born. Since then
she has completed high school and the vocational program to become a
nursing assistant. Mother is a licensed CNA.
Y. Mother works at Shippensburg Health Center, working day shift from
6:00 a.m., to 2:30 p.m.
Z. Mother fears that Father may, upon escape or release from prison,
appear at Taylor's school and take her.
AA. Mother believes that it is in the best interest of the two children that
Father attend a regular course of supervised visitation with the children
before any partial custody was undertaken.
BB. Based upon Father's drug use, criminal activity, physical abuse, and
prison sentences, Mother believes and therefore avers that she should be
granted sole custody of the children.
8. Each parent whose parental rights to the children have not been
terminated and the person who has physical custody of the children have
been named as parties to this action.
Wherefore, plaintiff requests the court to grant her sole legal custody
and sole physical custody with defendant to have sole custody of the
children.

4. On February 28, 2003, the Honorable President Judge Kevin A. Hess entered an Order of
Custody awarding sole legal and physical custody to Mother due to Father's
incarceration. A true and correct copy of the Custody Order is attached hereto as Exhibit
"A."
5. Father was incarcerated in the State Correctional Institute since 2009, due to convictions
for Forgery, Theft by Unlawful Taking, Possession of a Firearm, and Burglary. Father
was paroled in March 2014.
6. Since his release from incarceration, Mother has denied Father all forms of visitation with
the Children, as well as the ability to communicate through any written electronic
method.
7. Father understands that the Children are of an age in which they may have no interest in
reunifying with Father. However, Father wishes to attempt reunification through
visitation so that he may be involved in the Children's lives.
8. Father has filed simultaneously with this Petition to Modify a verified Criminal
Record /Abuse History Verification.
9. On April 14, 2014, undersigned counsel spoke with Attorney Barbara Townsend, Esq.
who represented Mother during the custody action in 2003. Attorney Townsend stated
she was unsure whether she would be retained to represent Plaintiff due to this current
Petition due to the time which has passed between the actions, and as such had no
position concerning this Petition.
10. Father seeks to modify the current custody order, to include language providing for
visitation with the Children and any other terms which are in the best interests of the
Child.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant Travis E. Kelley respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to modify the existing custody order with terms that are in the best interests of the
Children.
