LAWRENCE M. BARD, II,
Respondent
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
NO. 01 - 4683 CIVIL IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
1. Petitioner is Sandra Dee Bybee, who resides at 305 West Willow Street, Apt. 103,
Carlisle, PA 17013.
2. Respondent is Lawrence M. Bard, II, who resides at 319 Franklin Street, Carlisle, P A
17013.
3. On October 24,2001, the Honorable Edgar B. Bayley of the Cumberland County
Court of Common Pleas entered a Custody Order regarding Benjamen T, Bybee,
(d.o.b. 1/24/01) the natural child of Petitioner and Respondent.
4, The October 24,2001, Order, at '10, provided that the :[t]he parties shall work with
each other to allow for the Father to take care of the minor child when the minor child
is sick so that Mother can go to work and allow Father to share the responsibilities
with respect to those types of obligations."
5. A true and correct copy of that Order is attached as Exhibit "A."
6. Since the entry of Judge Bayley's Order, Respondent has willfully failed to obey the
Order as follows:
a) Since the entry of the October 24, 2001 Order, Petitioner
has been forced to miss more than fifteen full days of work
, ,
due Respondent's failure to honor his obligation under the
Court Order when the minor child has been sick. See
Exhibit "B,"
b) Petitioner's regular absences from work has been noted by
her Supervisor.
c) Petitioner has to admit that she is unable, at times, to keep
up with her work assignments and responsibilities due to
these regular absences.
d) Respondent concedes that Petitioner has had to take the
most time off from work to care for her and Respondent's
ill child.
e) Respondent fails to acknowledge that since the entry of the
Court Order he has never taken a day off from work when
his child has been ill.
t) Respondent refuses to commit to a schedule where he and
Petitioner alternate in sharing the responsibility to take care
of the minor child when the minor child is sick.
7. Respondent has willfully, continually, and matter-of-factly violated the Judge
Bayley's Custody Order.
8, Respondent is so resolved in his contemptuous behavior that he acknowledges
that an alternating schedule of care for the child is a solution to this issue yet he
unequivocally refuses to agree to this solution.
WHEREFORE Petitioner prays this Court to adjudge Respondent in Contempt and to
Order Respondent to reimburse Petitioner for her legal expenses which were made
necessary by his own contemptuous conduct.

oear Rob:
U Thank you for telephone call of May 2,2002. Mr. Bard and I had met prior to
ur call, but needed to meet a second time to be complete.
RE:
Bard v. Bybee
No,01"-4683 IN CUSTODY
I believe I have already faxed to you the paper from my client's employer
explaining that he does not receive pay for days off. He works forty-hour weeks in four
days. If Monday is a holiday, he receives no pay for the day. He will be seeking to
work on Fridays after a holiday to make up the day. Support is calculated on his
working forty hour weeks and when he does not, he must pay money that he does not
earn.
The daycare center (Dickinson College Children's Care) will be renewing their
contracts for June. Since Mr. Bard is typically off on Fridays, it is wasteful to continue to
pay for five days of daycare. We propose having the contract for daycare three days
only, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, On Mondays that Ms. Bybee works, Mrs.
Bard, the paternal grandmother, would be willing to watch Benjamin.
In reference to Benjamin's sick days, Mr. Bard can not take off of work. As we
have explained, the Union is unforgiving. It is my client's belief that many of the sick
days have the pattern of being after Mr. Bard's weekend with Benjamin. Mr. Bard does
not believe that the child is sick many of the days he is purported to be, I offer the
following as an example.
On April 24th, Ms. Bybee made a doctor's appointment for Benjamin. Mr. Bard
attended the appointment. Ms. Bybee reported to the physician's assistant that she
had taken the child's temperature two times prior to the 13:00 A,M. appointment and that
he had temperatures of 102.4 and 102.6. However, the PA took the temperature and it

Dear Lindsay:
Re: Bard v. Bybee
Cumberland Co, No. 01-4683 Civil Term
This letter serves as a follow-up to our telephone conversation of Tuesday, May 21, 2002.
You have advised me that you will be attempting to contact Mr. Bard to schedule a meeting with
him in your office on this coming Friday, and have asked me to put into writing some of the
issues and concerns raised by my client so that you can address those issues with Mr. Bard.
First and foremost, please keep in mind that the primary issue involved is your client's
willingness and/or ability to be available for his son at times when his son is ill. My client has
used up her sick time, personal time, and vacation time in order to accommodate Benjamin when
he has been ill. Your client's accusations that my client is taking time off with Ben just to take
time off from work are baseless and without any foundation whatsoever. The Court Order dated
October 24, 2001 specifically provides that "the parties shall work with each other to allow for
the father to take care of the minor child when the minor child is sick so that mother can go to
work and allow father to share the responsibilities with respect to those types of obligations."
My client's primary concern is that your client continues to ignore this provision of the Court
Order which was entered at a conciliation conference and, therefore, was an issue which he
specifically agreed to at this time. All we ask is that he honor his agreement. I understand that
there are concerns with the fact that he may lose pay on those days when he must watch Ben,
but, quite frankly, Sandy's situation is very similar in that she has used valuable vacation time
which she had hoped to spend with Ben when he is healthy, as most parents would expect to do,
and her supervisor at work has addressed with her the extent of her absences as a result of Ben
being ill.
Quite frankly, it concerns my client that your client's n:sponse to the issue at hand, as
described above, was a switch to three days per week daycare as opposed to five days per week
i 1 ; ~ I I

daycare, with your client's mother caring for the child on Mond,ays and your client caring for the
child on Fridays, This is problematic for a number of reasons. First, he certainly cannot predict
a day of the week that Ben might become ill and, herefore, your client's proposal ignores the
issue at hand, Second, your client has advised my client that your client has been hesitant to
leave Ben alone with his mother at all because your client feels she is too old. At one point, your
client even advised my client that he hadn't left Ben alone yet with his mother because of his
concerns. My client does not know whether tl13t sitllation has changed. Then, all of a sudden,
after creating these concerns in my client's mind based upon his own statements, your client
proposes that his mother watch Benjamin one full day each week. The third concern regarding
your client's proposal was addressed in your letter and is a mattcr you and I have discussed on
the telephone. Your client has proposed that he have Ben each Friday, He then advises us that
there may be Fridays in which he needs to work, without making any suggestion as to who
would care for Ben on those Fridays when he works. Certainly, if there is a contract for three
days of daycare per week, there can be no guarantee that a place will be available for Ben on
those Fridays that your client may need to work.
All in all, based upon your client's complaints as to why he cannot provide care for his
son when he is ill, and the nature of the proposal that he made \',;hich fails to address the ultimate
issue, it would appear that your client's primary concern is money, not necessarily what is best
for his child.
All that having been said, based upon the comments that your client has made regarding
his lTJother, my client is reluctant to have your client's mother as a regular caregiver for
Benjamin. However, noting that she may be the best individual available who is related to
Benjamin, she 'would reluctantly agree to allow your client's mother to care for Benjamin at
times when Ben is ill and my client requests your client to be available and your client cannot
make himself available, which essentially is one step in the right direction toward resolving the
ulti'oate issue addressed in the first paragraph above.
Please discuss these matters with your client so that our clients can come to some type of
understanding as to who will be available for Ben when he is ill. Once that issue is resolved to
my client's satisfaction, I will then be in a position to discuss with her your client's other
proposal.
V cry truly yours,
Robert P. Kline, E~;quirc

care of the child when the child was sick. Another matter was the ability of the
Father to mandate that the child is ouly in daycare three days a week rather than
five. The conciliator spoke with the parties at length and the conciliator also spoke
with Judge Bayley. Based upon those discussions, the conciliator recommends the
entry of an order in the fonn as attached.

I We find, however, that it has not been demonstrated that Benjamin will benefit
more from a private school education than a public school education, and that a
private school education is not consistent with the standard of living and station
of life of his parents. Although the mother may have him attend a private school
there is no demonstrated need for such an education. See Fritchman-Pickford
v. Pickford, 60 Support 1998, opinion filed July 3,2006, on cross-exceptions to
Support Master's Report.
