Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
v. No. 98 -7284 CIVIL ACTION LAW
DAROL R. LAIN, IN CUSTODY
Defendant
Prior Judge: Edward E. Guido, J.
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3 -8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
The pertinent infolination pertaining to the Child who is the subject of this litigation is
as follows:
Name Date of Birth Currently in the Custody of
Natalie Lain 12/09/1997 Primary Father
2. An Order of Court was entered January 06, 1999 by agreement, a conciliation
conference was held February 04, 2013, an Order issued February 05, 2013, a
conference was held February 28, 2014 with the following individuals in attendance:
The Mother, Erin Lain, with her counsel, Michael Scherer, Esq.
The Father, Darol Lain, with his counsel, Stephanie DiVittore, Esq.
3. The parents' position on custody is as follows: Currently, Father has primary custody
and Mother has two hours with Natalie per week. A custody evaluation was performed
by Ms. Salem. Father reports that Natalie does not want to have a relationship with
Mother. The problem here is that Father has to relocate to Texas at the end of Natalie's
school year due to his employment. All parties are in agreement that the relationship
between Mother and daughter needs a lot of work. Father offered that if he was allowed
to move to Texas with Natalie, he would be willing to have Natalie engage in
counseling with Mother and that he would provide transportation for Natalie to travel
back here to PA for visitation with her Mother as often as possible.
Mother alleges that Father and step- mother have engaged in parental alienation. Mother
indicated that she may consider letting Natalie go to TX with Father if her relationship
with Natalie was normal and healthy; however, this is not the case. Mother is
concerned that if Natalie goes to TX, she may never see her again, or at least on a very
limited basis. Mother very much would like to have a good relationship with Natalie
and is willing to engage in counseling with her. Mother does not feel that increasing
her time with Natalie (forced) would be beneficial at this point in time. All parties have
agreed to therapeutic family counseling with the focus on reunification with Mother.
4. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a pretrial
conference, scheduling a Hearing and entering an Order of Court regarding custody as
outlined. It is the Conciliator's belief that this would be in the Child's best interest. It
is expected that the Hearing will require one half day.
5. The proposed recommended Order may contain a requirement that the parties file a pre-
trial memorandum with the Judge to whom the matter has been assigned.
