to seek from the other any payment for support or alimony. Each party shall indemnify, defend
and hold the other harmless against any future action for either support or alimony brought by
or on behalf of the other, such indernnity to include the actual counsel fees of the defendant in

i) Segment A - from December 24 at noon until December 25 at
noon; and
ii) Segment B - from December 25 at noon until December 26 at
noon.
E. The above alternating temporary visitation schedule shall be a minimurn

it may be subject to change by mutual agreement in the event of a change in such scheduling.
10. Support. Husband shall pay to Wife for the maintenance, education and support
of their minor children such sums as may be determined by the Court of Common Pleas in
accordance with the Order of Court dated September 13, 1994, and docketed to No. 1682-SA-I994
in such Court. The parties understand that the support payment is based upon the circumstances
now known to the parties, and they acknowledge that, as those circumstances change, one party's
ability to pay and the other party's need for payment may also change. Consequently, this
Agreement shall not bar either party from adjusting the term or amount of support due
hereunder, either by negotiation with the other party, or, if necessary, by resort to a court of
proper jurisdiction. In the event an order of support is entered by a court of appropriate
jurisdiction,' which makes adequate provision for the support of the person or persons covered by
this paragraph, this Agreement shall not have any continuing independent effect, but shall be
deemed to have merged into, and been replaced entirely by, the obligation to pay support
pursuant to said court order.
11. Medical Insurance. In addition to the support payments provided for herein,
Husband shall provide, at his sole expense, medical and hospitalization insurance, or its reasonable
equivalent (such as will pay benefits equivalent to those currently provided by the medical and
hospital insurance now provided by Husband's employer as of the date of this agreement), for the
said children, as provided for in the existing Court Order for Support. This obligation may be
modified by the Court or through the Domestic Relations Office should he be unable to provide
such insurance. Husband shall provide Wife with notice of such inability as soon as he reasonably
learns of sarne so that Wife rnay cover the children to avoid a gap in such coverage.

another night of the week may be chosen upon 48 hours advance notice by agreement of the
parties. In the event Wife cannot have the children available for visitation on either Tuesday or
Wednesday. she shall provide Husband with 48 hours advance notice of her need to reschedule
the visitation, and the parties shall agree to either another night of that week or an additional
night to be added to a subsequent week.
C. Alternating holidays consisting of Easter, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day,
and Thanksgiving Day from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Husband shall enjoy Easter of 1995.
D. The Christmas Holiday shall be divided into two segments and alternated

alternating thereafter, said segments being as follows:
"." ~
'lU~ .', ~ ~~~o
Sepllration /lnd Property Settlement Agreement
.Page 7
i) Segment A - from December 24 at noon until December 25 at
noon; and
ii) Segment B - from December 25 at noon until December 26 at
noon.
E. The above alternating temporary visitation schedule shall be a minimum
visitation schedule, and the parties may agree to alternate or additional visitation periods from
time to time. The above schedule is based and dependent upon the parties' work schedules, and
it may be subject to change by mutual agreement in the event of a change in such scheduling.
10. Support. Husband shall pay to Wife for the maintenance, education and support
of their minor children such sums as may be determined by the Court of Common Pleas in
accordance with the Order of Court dated September 13, 1994, and docketed to No. 1682-SA-1994
in such Court. The parties understand that the support payment is based upon the circumstances
now known to the parties, and they acknowledge that, as those circumstances change, one party's
ability to pay and the other party's need for payment may also change. Consequently, this
Agreement shall not bar either party from adjusting the term or amount of support due
hereunder, either by negotiation with the other party, or, if necessary, by resort to a court of
proper jurisdiction. In the event an order of support is entered by a court of appropriate
jurisdiction, which makes adequate provision for the support of the person or persons covered by
this paragraph, this Agreement shall not have any continuing independent effect, but shall be
deemed to have merged into, and been replaced entirely by, the obligation to pay support
pursuant to said court order.
11. Medical Insurance. In addition to the support payments provided for herein,
Husband shall provide, at his sole expense, medical and hospita1ization insurance, or its reasonable
equivalent (such as will pay benefits equivalent to those currently provided by the medical and
hospital insurance now provided by Husband's employer as of the date of this agreement), for the
said children, as provided for in the existing Court Order for Support. This obligation may be
modified by the Court or through the Domestic Relations Office should he be unable to provide
such insurance. Husband shall provide Wife with notice of such inability as soon as he reasonably
learns of same so that Wife may cover the children to avoid a gap in such coverage.

OF COUNSEL
March 24, 1999
Mr. William Stafford
Adams County Prison
625 Biglerville Road
Gettysburg, PA 17325
Dear Mr. Stafford:
please be advised this firm represents your ex-wife, Teresa
with respect to your continuing visitation with your children.
My client has informed me of prior situations involving severe
depression, leading to statements regarding suicide, and what
appears to be unmanageable alcoholism. As a result of the former,
it is my understanding that you were hospitalized for observation,
anu as a result of the latter situation, you were ultimately
incarcerated for DUI.
As you are aware, my client encourages the children to maintain
a relationship with you, as she believes it is in their best
interest to have both a father and mother. On the other hand,
suicidal ideations and alcoholism can ultimately lead to situations
that negatively impact upon the good mental health of the children,
and it is this factor that my client seeks to eliminate.
Teresa has come to me for advice as to how to proceed. It is
my recommendation that no further visitation be permitted until such
time as an independent psychiatrist or psychologist has totally
evaluated your records and, if necessary, you have been tested to
determine whether there is any threat to the children. Basically,
the entire situation would be left in the hands of a reputable
professional who would be independent and only interested in the
'-J:
Mr, William Stafford
March .24, 1999
Page 2
best welfare of the children. If that professional believes there
to be no continuing future problem, then visitation would resume.
If there is any issue, supervised visitation is a possibility, if
recommended by that professional, We are currently looking at the
possibility of either Dr. Stanley Schneider or Dr. Arnold Shienvold
being the involved professional.
From your end, you would obviously have to sign the necessary
documents to release all of your records and actively participate in
any face-to-face evaluations needed by the involved psychologist.
Thus, I ask for your voluntary participation by executing all
documents needed by the professional to secure documentation to
commence his study.
please understand that my client's interest is only that of the
children, You are currently leading separate lives as a result of
the divorce, and she intends to maintain that status, She has no
personal animosity toward you whatsoever. However, if you refuse to
voluntarily participate in what I have suggested and we have no
answer from you within ten (10) days from the date of this letter, I
will have no choice but to file the necessary custody Petitions with
the Court in order to maintain what we believe to be in the best
interest of the children. As part of the custody process, you would
have to be evaluated, and it can certainly take much longer than the
process I have outlined in this letter. It is not my client's
desire to have this matter extended or delayed, as such is certainly
not in the best interest of the children.
I look forward to receiving your written response to this
letter within ten (10) days from the date hereof. Should I not
receive it within that period of time, we will take all necessary
protective action thereafter in the best interest of the children,
Sincerely yours,
Howard B. Krug

RE: Stafford vs. Stafford
Dear Attorney Krug:
As we discussed on the phone, I have spoken with Mr. Stafford, and we are making the
following proposal:
I. He will agree to participate in the psychological evaluation with Dr, Stanley
Schneider at your client's expense.
2. We are providing a letter from the counselor whom he met at Adams County
prison to address your concerns short term.
3, Mr. Stafford's mother will supervise all of his custody and visitatIOn pending the
outcome of the evaluation and recomrnendations of Dr. Schneider.
This letter is also to notifY you that Father intends to exercise his weeknight custody on
Tuesday evenings each week until further notice. He would like to begin his weekend visits
starting the weekend of April ] 7 - 18, 1999. All other custody will be subject to the terms of the
existing agreement.
Could you please review these terms with your client and get back to me if you have any
questions or concerns.
Cordially,

Dear Mr, Stafford:
I am sending you a summary of my findings obtained from my evaluation of June 1999. In
addition to your interview, I reviewed a number of documents reflecting your successfully completin[. ;~
substance abuse treatment, attorney correspondence, contact with Lori Barton, your children's ~.
therapist, and copies of your lab reports reflecting negative findings concerning alcohol use for May
and June of 1999. Through mid summer 1999 it appears that you have been successfully working on
your sObriety with no evidence of any relapse.
Results of your child management questionnaire reflects that you would engage in
appropriate, relevant, and meaningful disciplinary techniques with your children should the situation
arise. In that regard, the major concern brought to" my attention was the potential of you possibly
relapsing. Results of your personality profile (MMPI-2) were valid.
Your personality/behavioral characteristics are consistent with those people who have a lot of
drive and energy. Minor problems with society's rules is sometimes seen. Scores reflect underlying
competitiveness, opportunism, verbal fluency and difficulty delaying gratification. Certain questions
were answered in a way that indicates that you may not blame anyone for trying to get what they can.
Further, you endorsed items that reflect a lack of anxiety around interpersonal initiative. The findings
reflect that you would be comfortable in social situations, would argue your position if needed. Other
findings suggest that you tend to feel misunderstood by others, may feel resentment toward those
who keep you from fulfilling your agenda. This is understood and is consistent with and reflective of
your reported experiences regarding difficulty having access to the children. On the positive side,
you present feelings of guilt and self blame expressing regrets in what you have done, much like
alcoholic remorse.
As noted, the major concern brought to my attention during my invqlvement in 1999 relates to
your history of relapses. Should you remain clean and sober, I could' not identify any reasons why
you could not have partial physical custody of your children without superVision. It would be
appropriate to ease the children into this slowly to allow for their adjustment.

Dear Mr. Stafford:
It strikes me that your burden of demonstrating continuing sobriety would be
satisfied by submitting attendance records from your sponsor and/or other persons with
whom you attend AA meetings. I would also suggest that you submit to random
urinalysis on an on-going basis. I believe these steps would remove any continuing
concerns related to your drinking.

Dear Mr. Stafford:
We recently received a copy of Dr. Schneider's correspondence dated April 5, 2000 and
the Addendum to that letter. I believe that we can take steps towards eliminating the requirement
for supervised visits upon receipt of attendance records from AA meetings dating back to the
summer, 1999. We will need an ongoing commitment from you to continue in counseling and
to attend AA meetings, We will ask you to agree to provide proof of attendance upon request.
We are also requesting that you submit to random urinalysis on an ongoing basis.
Stepping Stones located at 1776 South Queen Street in York (843-8204) has a program called
TASK that can assist in implementing this process. If for some reason it is suspected that you
have been drinking alcohol (in between your random testing), we will ask you to stop at
Concentra. They provide breath alcohol testing at two locations in Harrisburg and
Mechanicsburg.
These requests are made based upon Dr. Schneider's recomrnendations. I also believe
they are consistent with what a court would recommend under the circurnstances.
I would appreciate if you would let me know as soon as possible whether or not you are
in agreement with the above suggestions. If so, I will prepare the appropriate documents for
signature.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Very truly yours,
