wrote to Mother's divorce counsel suggesting Ihatlhc p.mil.'s engage in parcming counseling. al
Father's expense. to prevent the prohlelll from escalating,
e. Mother responded through counsel by letter daled March )9. 1998 which
dealt primarily with her eoncems about the financial asp~ets oflhe divorce and child support.
However. as regards the requesl for parenting counseling. her counsel. Carl Wass. Esquire.
stated: "She will not agree to engage in any parenting counseling in which she will have to
participate in the presence of her former husband." The letter went on 10 slate that Mother feared
and felt intimidated by Father but gave no reasons for these alleged feelings.
1', The parties and counsel then spent the next couple of months finalizing the
economic issues related to the divorce and child support. It was Father's belief that if Mother's
concerns about the economic mallcrs wcrc addrcssed. she may be more willing to become more
cooperative regarding the maller of child custody but, unfortunately. such has not occurred,
g. Mother no longer allows Father to see the children one evening during the
week which had been prior practice, She also unilaterally decides to shortcn schcdulcd periods
oftimc with Father or to climinatc thcm in thcir cntirety.

Re: Be/h (Anderson) Warson ".

Dear !l1rs, Watson:
Enclosed is a copy of a custody complaintliled on behalf of!llr. Anderson on October
28, 1998, Also attached is an order scheduling a custody conciliation on December 3, 1998 at
3:00 p,m, before Michael L. Bangs, Esquire. Your receipt of these materials constitutes service
upon you pursuant to the Pennsylvania Rules ofCil'il Procedure.
It was necessary for us to send these papers to you directly as your dil'orce attomey. Carl
Wass, Esquire, is not your counsel of record for purposes of a custody action. Because of my
relationship with Mr. \\lass, I ordinarily would have given him a counesy telephone call to let
him know we were initiating this action but I understand that you have changed counsel. I would
appreciate your having your new counsel contact me at his or her earliest convenience,
When I wrote to Mr. Wass last ~1arch to suggest parenting counseling, it was in the hope
of avoiding formal legal custody proceedings because such proceedings take such a financial and
emotional toll on evel)'one involved, panicularly the children. Thus, we still hope that we may
be able to resolve this matter withoutli,igation, either between counselor at the concjJiation
stage,
Sincerely.
