Defendant
NO. 98-0671 CIVIL TERM
IN CUSTODY
PETITION TO MODIFY
AND NOW comes the Defendant, by his attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and petitions
the court to modify its prior order or orders of custody in this matter, based upon the
following:
1. The Petitioner herein is David A. Crawford, an adult individual who resides at
2428 Brookwood Street in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and is hereinafter referred to as
"Father. "
2. The Respondent herein is Patricia Crawford, an adult individual who resides at
1200 Musket Lane in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17050. She is
referred to hereinafter as "Mother."
3. The parties are formerly husband and wife and are the parents of three children,
the oldest of which is an emancipated male who currently resides with Father and attends
the Harrisburg Area Community College. In addition, the parties have two minor children,
Kyle Crawford, age 16, born 9 August 1988, and Eric Crawford, age 13, born 19 May
1991.
4. The children are the subject of prior orders of custody entered in this court.
Most recently, those orders awarded primary legal custody of both of the rninor children
to Mother.
5. In late August of 2004, fOllowing a dispute between Mother and Kyle, Kyle left
Mother's home and came to stay with Father. Father encouraged Kyle to return to
resume living with Mother but, when Kyle first attempted to do that, Mother directed Kyle
to leave her home. Kyle has not returned to Mother's residence since that time and has
lived with Father.
,"
6. Father believes that the orders In this matter should be modified to award him
primary physical custody of Kyle and Eric for the following reasons:
A. Mother is no longer able to provide for the boys and provide them
the proper home, supervision. and parenting for them to succeed; and
B. The relationship between Mother and Kyle has deteriorated to the
point that she does not want Kyle with her and he does not want to reside in
her home; and
C. Father is better able to provide for the emotional and personal
needs of both sons; and
D. Father believes it will be in the best Interest of both boys to spend
substantial time in his custody and substantial time together.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to modify Its prior orders to award him
primary physical custody of both of his sons.

the Father's residence in Hummelstown, The Futher proposed tllllt he huve expunded periods of

custody of Eric ror upproximutely hulr of the time with the mujority of the Futher's time to be
scheduled in the summer and on holiduys due to the Child's school enrollment in Mecllllnicsburg,
5. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother agreed thut it would be in
Kyle's best interest to remain in the Futher's primury care at this time und did not feci it was necessary
to establish a purtiul custody schedule until the Child is rcady to rcsume contact. The Mother further
agreed that Kyle be enrolled in the Lower Dauphin School District. The Mother does not believe it
would be in Eric's best interest to spend the majority of his summer school break and holiday breuks
with the Father. The Mother proposed tlmt if the Father wunted to llUve u more shared custodial
arrangement for Eric he should have expanded time during the school ycar and provide the
transportation between Hummelstown und the Child's school in Mcchanicsburg. The Mother did not
believe it was fair for the Fathcr to have the majority of his custodial time during vacation time in the
summer while the Mother would have the more regimented time during the school year.
6. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as uttached scheduling a hearing. It is
expected that the hearing will require at least one-halfday.

PETITION TO MODIFY
AND NOW comes the above-named Defendant, by his attorney, Samuel 1. Andes, and
asks the court to modify its prior orders of court in this matter, based upon the following:
1. The Petitioner herein is David A. Crawford who resides at 2428 Brookwood Street
in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
2. The Respondent herein is Patricia A. Crawford who resides at 86 Keefer Way in
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are the parents of three children, two of whom are now emancipated
and the third, Eric D. Crawford, is still a minor, having been born on 9 May 1991.
4. Prior orders of this court awarded primary physical custody of the child Eric to his
mother. Petitioner seeks a modification of that order, and believes a modification would be
in Eric's best interests, for several reasons which include:
A. The relationship between Eric and his mother has deteriorated
seriously and they frequently disagree and argue; and
B. The mother has become abusive, verbally and emotionally and, on
some occasions, physically in her conduct toward the child; and
C. The mother fails to adequately supervise and control Eric and the
father believes he can better provide a stable measure of control and
supervision for the child; and
D. The child has expressed a strong desire to reside with the father.
The parties' second child, Kyle S. Crawford, now age 18, although technically an adult still
resides with Petitioner and attends school from Petitioner's home. Petitioner believes that
reuniting the two brothers to reside together will be beneficial to Eric and to Kyle.
"
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this court to modify its prior orders of custody to
award him primary physical custody of the minor child, Eric S. Crawford, born 9 May 1991.

CIVIL ACTION LA W
DAVID A. CRAWFORD

Prior Judge: Kevin A. Hess
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTL Y IN CUSTODY OF
Eric Crawford
May 19, 1991
Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was originally scheduled for November 16, 2006, on the
Father's Petition to Modify. However, the Father's counsel submitted a request for re-scheduling,
along with a request to the Mother (who is not represented by counsel) that she contact the
conciliator's office to participate in selecting an alternative date. As no response had been received
from the Mother, the conference was re-scheduled for December 6, three weeks in advance. However,
the Mother contacted the conciliator's office in December to advise that she was unavailable to attend
The December 6 conference or any conference before 4 p.m. because she was working. The Mother
did not notify the Father's counsel.
3. The Father and his counsel, Samuel L. Andes, Esquire, appeared for the December 6, 2006
conference and requested that a hearing be scheduled at the earliest possible date. The Father seeks
modification of existing Order of this Court under which the Mother has primary physical custody of
the Child. According to the Father, the Child has been living with him since early November 2006
with the Mother's consent. The Father seeks to confirm the actual existing arrangements.
4. Based upon the Father's representations at the conference and the Mother's inability or
unwillingness to participate in conciliation without further substantial delay, the conciliator submits an
Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing in this matter and temporarily confirming the
existing arrangements to prevent further disruption to the Child before the Court resolves this matter at
hearing. It is expected that the hearing will require up to one-half day.
