foreclosure. This is the same house that the parties resided in
together. Additionally, she indicates that the father is now
living with a girlfriend who has four or five children and that
there is improper sleeping arrangements. This is despite the fact

CUSTODY /VISiT A TION
Dear Attorney Wigbels:
!JJ follow-up to your correspondence of May 26, 1999, my client, Jacqueline Gonzale7.\
~ettlement proposal now is the same as it wa~ in my letter to you of May 20,1999, (A copy of
whIch is enclo~ed herewith). She is an agreement with every other weekend visitation for your
client with pickup commencing Fridays at 5:00 p.m. with return Sundays at 7:00 p.m. In
addition, she is in agreement to have altemating holidays with a one (1) week summel' vacation.
She cannot, however, agree to joint legal custody because there has been a complete failure of
civilized commWlication between the pal1ies. There have been numerous incidents whereby the
police have been involved as tne enclosed Memo from the East Pct1.n.\boro Tow,",hip Police
Department verifies,
My client will be testifying on hel' own tomol1'OW with no additional witnesses.
Thank you for youI' attemion in this matter.
