l ~
vs.
HELEN NAUMOFF,
Defendant
PROTECTION FROM ABUSE
MOTION TO CONTINUE HEARING
COMES NOW, the Plaintiff in the above action, by her
attorney, Samuel W. Milkes, Jacobsen & Milkes, and requests of
this Honorable Court that continue the hearing scheduled in the
above matter, now set for July 9, 1998 at 8:30 a.m. This request
is made for the following reasons:
1. The Defendant, Helen Naumoff, is also the Plaintiff
in a companion Protection from Abuse Petition, against the above-
named Plaintiff. This Petition has been filled at the same time
as the instant motion.
2. Counsel for Helen Naumoff was contacted by Legal
Services, Inc. on the afternoon of Thursday, July 2, 1998, for
the purpose of accepting a referral of this client, because of
the agency's policy against representing defendants in Protection
from Abuse cases. The pro bono referral was accepted, but due to
the law offices of Jacobsen & Milkes being closed on Friday, July
3, the client could not be seen until the morning of July 6,
1998.
3. Upon review of the circumstances surrounding this
case, it has become apparent that counsel cannot be prepared to
fully represent the Defendant's interests at a hearing scheduled
'i
:i'
Ii'
'.
[I
, .
!i
~\
.1
[,]
't,.;
in only a few days. Numerous witnesses were present at the
encounters delineated in Plaintiff's Petition, who would testify
as to a different, non-abusive version of the incidents. Some,
but not all of the witnesses have been talked to by counsel. It
is anticipated that most of these witnesses will need to be
subpoenaed.
4. The parties in this Protection from Abuse Petition
are also parties in a custody case, docketed at No. 98-1041,
scheduled to be heard by the Honorable J. Wesley Oler on July 8
and July 10. Accordingly, in the midst of preparing for this
crucial custody case (in which Lisa Kove is seeking to move to
California, and to terminate of any contact between Helen Naumoff
and the five children), Ms. Naumoff is being asked to set these
matters aside in order to prepare for a Protection from Abuse
case. Ms. Naumoff is represented by Legal Services, Inc. in the
custody case.
5. The Protection from Abuse Petition filed in this
case was verified on June 29, 1998, alleging a most recent
incident of abuse on May 28, 1998. While the Defendant does not
assert that such timing is too remote to be considered in this
case, it is suggested that the one-month delay in bringing the
case is part of the cause of the very tight scheduling between
the Custody and Protection from Abuse cases.
6. The Defendant has no objection to the continued
effect of the Temporary Protection Order now in effect in this
case, with one exception. Although the Petition filed in this
case does not name the minor children, and does not seek relief
,
]"
. .
',1~.
I .
)',
"
I
I
on their behalf in the WHEREFORE clause, the effect of the
Temporary Protection Order is to interfere with Ms. Naumoff's
relationship with the children, as follows:
a. At page 2 of the Order (attached), the
Defendant is directed not to have any contact with the plaintiff,
including even telephone contact, even if the contact involves
matters having to do with the children, and even if the contact
is for the sole purpose of being able to speak with the children
by telephone.
b. At page 2 of the Order, the Defendant is
directed not to contact the schools or day care facilities of the
children, even though Ms. Naumoff currently has custody rights
pursuant to the custody case docketed at No. 98-1041.
7. The Defendant asks that the hearing set in this
matter be rescheduled and that in the meantime, the two
provisions set forth above be modified, to be addressed in the
custody case, which will be heard on Wednesday and Friday of this
week.
B. Counsel for the Defendant has contacted counsel for
the Plaintiff, Jacqueline M. Verney, Esq., who states that the
Plaintiff is not agreeable to a continuance. The reason for the
objection appears primarily to do with the fact that the
Plaintiff intends to move from the area. However, Defendant
suggests this does not pose a problem because:
a. Ms. Kove has also pursued criminal charges of
simple assault, scheduled for a preliminary hearing on July 27,
1998, so she will need to return to the area in any event.

4. The defendant is the plaintiff's former housemate,
caregiver of the children and has had a prior intimate
relationship with the plaintiff.
5. Since approximately the summer of 1988, the defendant
has atten~ted to cause mental and or bodily injury, to the
6
plaintiff pursuant to 18 Pa.c.s. ~ 2903, has or threatened to
physically or mentally abuse the minor children in front of the
plaintiff, has placed the plaintiff in reasonable fear of
imminent serious bOdily injury, and has knowingly engaged in a
course of conduct or repeatedly committed acts toward the
plaintiff and/or the minor children including following the
plaintiff and/or the children, without proper authorization,
under circumstances which have placed the plaintiff in reasonable
fear of bOdily injury. This has included, but is not limited to,
the following specific instances of abuse:
a. In approximately the summer of 1988, the defendant
would drink and have black outs. During these black
outs the defendant was uncontrollable and would not
remember the next day what had taken place. During

drawers were ripped out of the dressers very violently,
and verbal abuse took place towards the plaintiff.
These episodes have continued throughout the
relationship until January 1998.
b. On various occasions from the summer of 1991 to
early 1997 defendant often acted recklessly by PUlling
the emergency brake of the plaintiff's car, while the

plaintiff and all other passengers, including the
plaintiff's grandmother and minor children.
c. In the summer of 1992 the defendant in a fit of
rage drove the plaintiff's car off the highway in New

immediately comply with. Defendant menaced plaintiff
until plaintiff ran from the home, undressed, screaming
for defendant to leave. Plaintiff was in fear of
being raped by defendant.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
LISA KOVE,
Plaintiff
HELEN NAUMOFF,
Defendant
PROTECTION FROM ABUSE
ORDER
AND NOW, this
day of
, 1998, upon
presentation and consideration of the Motion to continue Hearing,
filed by Defendant's counsel, the hearing previously set in this
matter for the 9th day of July, 1998, is hereby continued, to be
rescheduled upon further consultation with counsel. The terms of
the Temporary Protection Order entered on June 29, 1998 shall
remain in full force an effect until further Order of Court, an
in no event beyond June 28, 1999, except that two provisions
shall be modified as follows:
a. The language at page 2 of the Order shall not
prevent the Defendant from making contact with the Plaintiff,
including telephone contact, for the sole purpose of discussing
matters having to do with their children, or for the purpose of
being able to speak with the children by telephone.
b. The language at page 2 of the Order shall not
prevent the Defendant from making contact the schools or day care
facilities of the children.
The subject of Defendant's and Plaintiff's ability to
communicate with the children, and to communicate with one
another shall be addressed further in connection with the custody
in only a few days. Numerous witnesses were present at the
encounters delineated in Plaintiff's Petition, who would testify
as to a different, non-abusive version of the incidents. Some,
but not all of the witnesses have been talked to by counsel. It
is anticipated that most of these witnesses will need to be
subpoenaed.
4. The parties in this Protection from Abuse Petition
are also parties in a custody case, docketed at No. 98-1041,
scheduled to be heard by the Honorable J. Wesley Oler on July 8
and July 10. Accordingly, in the midst of preparing for this
crucial custody case (in which Lisa Kove is seeking to move to
California, and to terminate of any contact between Helen Naumoff
and the five children), Ms. Naumoff is being asked to set these
matters aside in order to prepare for a Protection from Abuse
case. Ms. Naumoff is represented by Legal Services, Inc. in the
custody case.
5. The Protection from Abuse Petition filed in this
case was verified on June 29, 1998, alleging a most recent
incident of abuse on May 28, 1998. While the Defendant does not
assert that such timing is too remote to be considered in this
case, it is suggested that the one-month delay in bringing the
case is part of the cause of the very tight scheduling between
the Custody and Protection from Abuse cases.
6. The Defendant has no objection to the continued
effect of the Temporary Protection Order now in effect in this
case, with one exception. Although the Petition filed in this
case does not name the minor children, and does not seek relief
on their behalf in the WHEREFORE clause, the effect of the
Temporary Protection Order is to interfere with Ms. Naumoff's
relationship with the children, as follows:
a. At page 2 of the Order (attached), the
Defendant is directed not to have any contact with the plaintiff,
including even telephone contact, even if the contact involves
matters having to do with the children, and even if the contact
is for the sole purpose of being able to speak with the children
by telephone.
b. At page 2 of the Order, the Defendant is
directed not to contact the schools or day care facilities of the
children, even though Ms. Naumoff currently has custody rights
pursuant to the custody case docketed at No. 98-1041.
7. The Defendant asks that the hearing set in this
matter be rescheduled and that in the meantime, the two
provisions set forth above be modified, to be addressed in the
custody case, which will be heard on Wednesday and Friday of this
week.
8. Counsel for the Defendant has contacted counsel for
the Plaintiff, Jacqueline M. Verney, Esq., who states that the
Plaintiff is not agreeable to a continuance. The reason for the
objection appears primarily to do with the fact that the
Plaintiff intends to move from the area. However, Defendant
suggests this does not pose a problem because:
a. Ms. Kove has also pursued criminal charges of
simple assault, scheduled for a preliminary hearing on July 27,
1998, so she will need to return to the area in any event.
