KRISTIN L. KOCH,
Defendant/Petitioner
PETITION TO MODIFY CHILD CUSTODY ORDER
1. Petitioner, is Kristin L. Koch, who currently resides at 535 ls' Street, Carlisle, 17013,
in the County of Cumberland, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent is Justin B. Hege, who currently resides at 5317 Oxford Circle, Apt. 74,
Mechanicsburg, 17055 in the County of Cumberland, Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
3. On the 27'x' day of September 2007 a Court Order for custody was entered which
granted Primary Physical Custody of the child, to Kristin L. Koch, and partial Physical
custody to Justin B. Hege, respectively.
4. The Court Order granted Shared Legal Custody as between the parties.
5. Since the entry of said Order, there has been a significant change in circumstances for
the following reasons as hereinafter outlined.
(a) Petitioner mother since on or around September 27th, 2007 has had Primary
Physical Custody of the minor child.
(b) The minor child has been diagnosed by Mark A. Zengerle, psychologist, on or
about April of 2007, with Asperger's Disorder and Oppositional Defiant
Disorder.
(c) The child has been prescribed Resperdal by Pinnacle Health Behavioral
Services, (hereinafter referred to as PHBS) to minimize or ideally eliminate
his anxiety and agitation, during periods of interaction with peers, and family
and/or lend or enhance concentration during circular subjects.
(d) PHBS, has deemed the continued use of this medication as medically
necessary to reduce the likelihood of confrontational behavior relative to his
interaction with peers and family members.
(e) It has been noted by Wendy Kingsley, BSED, a special education teacher, that
the child has made substantial academic progress, since the inception of his
diagnosis, and is now ready to mainstream with other peers.
(f) The biological father is refusing to abide by the medical recommendations
established by the aforementioned providers and has candidly dismissed the
need of the child to continue to partake of the prescription that heretofore has
significantly benefited the child by controlling his emotional volatility and
enhanced his level of concentration to the extent that he has now been deemed
ready to mainstream into a non-special education class.
(g) The father has on an occasion neglected to give to the child the prescription
during his period of custody.
(h) The father refuses to cooperate with the Psychiatrist, as it regards to the
ongoing treatment of the child with medication that has proven to benefit the
child by enabling him to be socially appropriate and enhances his level of
concentration relative to his academic endeavors.
(i) The mother is fearful that if the child is not encouraged to take the prescribed
medication that his social, behavioral and academic progress will regress to
the point that he will once again become a threat to both himself and his peers
and family members.
5. The best interest of the child will be served by the Court in modifying said Order for
the aforementioned reasons and granting to mother, Kristin L. Koch, Sole Legal Custody
of the child or in the alternative to modify the Order to require that father cooperate with
the recommended treatment plan proposed by the Psychiatrist
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Court to allow the modification of the Custody
Order to grant Sole Legal Custody of the child to Petitioner, Mother, or in the alternative
to to modify the Order to require that father cooperate with the recommended treatment
plan proposed by the Psychiatrist.
