IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR MODIFICATION
1. Plaintiff/Petition is Theresa L. Piper (hereinafter referred to as "Mother") who
currently lives at 101 W. Louther St., Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 17013.
2. Defendant/Respondent is Shawn D. Kleeman, (hereinafter referred to as
"Father"), whose current address is 125 Sovereign Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 17013.
3. Mother and Father are the natural parents of the following children:
NAME DOB/AGE ADDRESS
McKenna Kleeman 2/10/97(11) 101 W. Louther St., Carlisle, Pa. 17013
Aislinn Kleeman 10/5/98(10) 101 W. Louther St., Carlisle, Pa. 17013
4. The parties are subject to an order of court entered on September 20, 2005,
a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A. Pursuant to this order, Mother was to have
primary physical custody of McKenna Kleeman and Aislinn Kleeman.
5. On August 20, 2007, the parties executed a voluntary agreement which
provided that McKenna Kleeman would live primarily with Father on a trial basis.
6. During the 2007 - 2008 school year, McKenna indicated to Mother that she
wanted to come home; Mother encouraged her to stay with Father and complete the
school year.
7. During August 2008, McKenna Kleeman again informed Mother that she
wished to return primarily to Mother's home, and refused to return to Father's home.
8. Father has not agreed that McKenna should return primarily to Mother's care.
9. Mother is requesting that an updated Order be entered which confirms that
McKenna Kleeman shall reside primarily with her. The child has lived primarily with her
since August 10, 2008.
10. During the past year, Mother has had some concerns about the care of the
child while she was in Father's custody.
11. While the child was in Father's care, several medical conditions went
unattended, which caused the child a great deal of pain, and could have resulted in
more serious injury.
12. Mother currently is a homemaker and does not work. She believes her
request to have primary physical custody of the child would be in the best interest of the
child because she has been the primary caretaker of the child for the majority of the
child's life, and can more adequately provide for the child's medical, dental, and
emotional needs.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the court to enter a modified custody order
regarding the child.

SHAWN D. KLEEMAN,
Defendant/Petitioner
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
No. 1998 - 6958 CIVIL TERM
IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW, this 9d' day of September, 2008, comes the Petitioner, Shawn D. Kleeman,
by and through his attorneys, Irwin & McKnight, and files this Petition for Special Relief making
the following statements:
1. The Petitioner is Shawn D. Kleeman, an adult individual residing at 125
Sovereign Drive, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17015 (hereinafter "Father").
2. The Respondent is Theresa L. Piper, an adult individual currently residing at 101
West Louther Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013 (hereinafter "Mother").
3. The parries are the natural parents of two minor children, namely, McKenna
Kleeman, born February 10, 1997, and currently age 11; and Aislinn Kleeman, born October 5,
1998, and currently age 9.
4. Mother had filed the initial custody action in 1998 with the Court of Common
Pleas of Cumberland County.
5. The last prior Order of Court signed by the Honorable Kevin A. Hess was entered
in this matter on or about September 20, 2005, granting Mother primary physical custody of the
minor children, and granting Father partial physical custody on an alternating weekend schedule
during the school year, and on an alternating weekly schedule during the summer.
6. The last Order of Court was subsequently amended by agreement of the parties on
August 20, 2007, which agreement granted Father primary custody of McKenna Kleeman, the
eldest child of the parties. A true and correct copy of the signed agreement of the parties entered
in this matter is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A."
7. The parties reached their agreement because the oldest child had left Mother's
home in an attempt to come and live with Father.
8. Following the written agreement of the parties, Father enrolled McKenna in the
Cumberland Valley School District, and had her records transferred from the Hamilton
Elementary School located within the Carlisle School District.
9. McKenna lived with Father and attended the Silver Spring Elementary School
during the entire 2007-08 school year.
10. Following their written agreement in August 2007, the parties continued to
alternate custody of their daughters on the weekends so that each parent would have both minor
children on alternating weekends.
11. At the beginning of the summer in June of 2008, Mother asked McKenna whether
she wanted to continue to live primarily with Father, or whether she desired to return to live
primarily with Mother.
12. McKenna informed both parties that she desired to continue to reside primarily
with Father.
13. On or about August 7, 2008, Mother contacted Father to inform him that
McKenna wanted to return to live primarily with her, in spite of the amendment to the Custody
Order signed by both parties.
14. Upon information and belief and without first advising Father, Mother had
already requested that a new agreement be drafted in order to transfer primary custody of
McKenna back to Mother.
15. Upon further information and belief, Mother instructed the children not to go with
Father for the next scheduled weekend exchange unless he signed the new custody papers.
16. When Father in fact refused to sign new custody papers until he had the
opportunity to speak with McKenna, Mother refused to permit the children to return with Father
at the next scheduled exchange on or about August 10th.
17. Mother unilaterally decided to remove McKenna from the Cumberland Valley
School District and enroll her in the Carlisle School District, despite the fact that the parties have
shared legal custody and mutually agreed to the change in physical custody as outlined in the
signed agreement attached Exhibit "A."
18. Mother, by her actions, has also prevented telephone contact by Father with the
children and unilaterally refused to continue the agreed upon custody arrangement since August
10, 2008.
19. It was not until August 26, 2008, that Mother filed a Petition for Modification
seeking a modified custody order confirming her unilateral actions.
20. Father desires to enforce the agreement between the parties granting him primary
physical custody of the parties' minor child, McKenna Kleeman.
21. The Mother's unilateral actions and decisions regarding custody is not in the best
interest or welfare of the parties' minor child.
22. Mother has severely disrupted the day-to-day life of the child, and has irreparably
harmed Father's relationship with both of his children.
23. As Mother has belatedly filed a Petition for Modification seeking primary custody
of both children, it is presumed that she will not be in agreement with Father's Petition for
Special Relief.
24. Father does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical
custody of the children and claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the
children.
25. The best interests and permanent welfare of the children require that the Court
grant the Father's requests as set forth above.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner, Shawn P. Kleeman, respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court enter an Order of Court directing Respondent to return the parties' minor child,
McKenna Kleeman, to her father, and further granting Petitioner primary physical custody of the
parties' minor child.

PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO
DEFENDANT'S PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted. The parties are the natural parents of two children, namely,
McKenna Kleeman, age 11, and Aislinn Kleeman, age 9.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted. The last prior Order in this matter was entered on or about
September 20, 2005, and provided that Mother would have primary physical custody of
both children.
6. Admitted in part; the August 20, 2007 agreement was filed by Father, who
was pro se, and the agreement was never entered as an Order of Court.
7. It is admitted that the parties agreed based upon the child's request.
However, Mother's understanding is that this was for a trial basis for one year.
8. Admitted.
9. Admitted.
10. Admitted.
live.
11. Admitted. Mother did speak with McKenna regarding where she wanted to
12. Denied. In June 2008, Mother asked McKenna whether she wanted to
continue living primarily with her Father. McKenna said she was not sure, would think
about it, and would decide at the end of the summer.
13. Admitted in part, denied in part. Mother spoke to McKenna on August 3rd
2008. McKenna said she was tired of living at Father's house and she wanted to come
home with Mother. Mother encouraged McKenna to think about it further. On or about
August 7th, 2008, Mother did inform Father that McKenna still did not want to live with
him. McKenna went with Father overnight on August 7th, 2008.
14. Denied. Mother encouraged McKenna to consider her decision before
Mother took any action. Mother did not request a new agreement to be drafted until
she spoke to Father on August 7th, 2008. McKenna was with her Father overnight on
August 7, 2008 and also discussed this matter with Father.
15. Denied. Mother did not instruct the children not to go with Father. She
supported a visit; however, on August 10, 2008, McKenna said she refused to go with
Father unless Father agreed to sign a custody stipulation; Mother did not say this or
suggest this to McKenna.
16. Denied. Father had a scheduled visit with both children August 10th, 2008
which did not occur because McKenna got out of the car and went back in the Mother's
house while Father was waiting outside. She refused to go with Father. Father then
left.
17. Admitted in part, denied in part. Mother did enroll the child in Carlisle School
District. However, the last agreement was not entered as an Order of Court, and
Mother was under the understanding that such agreement was to be temporary, on a
trial basis, for a period of up to one year, unless the parties agreed to an extension.
18. Denied. Mother has not refused to continue the agreement, as she
understood it was temporary. Mother has not prevented the children from calling
Father. The children called and left messages on several occasions between August
26th and August 30th. Father called on September 2nd and said he "didn't get their
messages." Father requested and had another visit with the children from September
5th through September 6th, 2008. During this visit, the children called Mother and
asked to come home to her since Father was yelling and putting extreme pressure on
McKenna to resume living at his house. Such behavior on Father's part has damaged
his relationship with McKenna.
19. Admitted that Mother filed on August 26, 2008. In addition, a custody
concilation is currently set for September 29, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.
20. It is admitted that Father desires to enforce the agreement, which was not
incorporated into a court Order.
21. Denied. Mother has had ongoing concerns about McKenna living with
Father, because Father has not taken care of McKenna's medical, dental, or emotional
needs. However, Mother has not proceeded with her request to revert to the prior
Order until the one year temporary agreement expired. Mother is a homemaker, and
she can better provide for McKenna's medical, dental, and emotional needs. It is in the
best interest of the child to remain with her.
22. Denied. Father has severely damaged his relationship with his child by
putting undue pressure on the child to say that she wants to live with him.
23. Admitted that Mother is not in agreement with Father's petition.
24. Admitted.
25. Denied. It is the in the best interest of the child for Mother to maintain
primary custody.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the court to enter a modified custody order
regarding the child.
