1. Plaintiff is Rachel K. Fanus, residing at 91B Patridge Circle, Carlisle (North
Middleton Township), Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. Defendant is Christopher M. Weiss, who resides at 69 Blue Pond Road, Newville,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17241.
3. This Petition to Modify Custody concerns the following child: Cameron M. Weiss,
9lB Patridge Circle, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013; Date of Birth: October 5,1999.
4. Plaintiff previously filed a Complaint for Custody at the above number and term.
5. On October 3, 2000, a Custody Conciliation Conference was held before Melissa Peel
Greevy, Esquire, with the following persons in attendance: Plaintiff and her counsel, Edward L.
Schorpp, Esquire; Defendant, Christopher M. Weiss, the father and his counsel, Kim Sebring,
Certified Legal Intern, and her supervising attorney, Terry Henning, Esquire.
6. At the Conciliation Conference, the parties agreed to visitation and temporary custody
matters, which agreement was incorporated into an Order of Court; a copy of said Order of Court,
dated October 23, 2000 is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "A."
7. Since the entry of the Order of Court, Defendant has not consistently exercised his
physical custody/visitation rights and, to the contrary, has had very sporadic contact with the child.
S. Since the entry of the Order of Court, Defendant has not spent significant time with
the child during his periods of custody/visitation, but rather, for personal reasons unrelated to
employment and/or necessity, has placed the child with his mother and/or others.
-'-"""""'"
d:..... <_
~~ ,
.t
9. Since the entry of the Order of Court, Defendant has placed the child in an
unwholesome, unhealthy and otherwise improper environment, and has exposed the child to physical
violence between himself and his mother.
10. On those sporadic occasions when Defendant has exercised his rights under the Order
of Court, upon return of the child to Plaintiff, she has noticed an adverse emotionaJ/psychological
change in the child.
11. Plaintiffbelieves that the conduct of Defendant has had a substantial adverse impact
on the child and that Defendant's visitation/custody rights under the prior Order should be
terminated and/or substantially decreased and controlled.
12. Paragraph 7 of the Order of Court dated October 23, 2000 indicates that the parties
entered the agreement having contemplated increased periods of contacts between the child and
Defendant; that contact has not occurred and the sporadic contact which has taken place has worked
to the child's detriment.
13. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting the
relief requested herein.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests Your Honorable Court to modify the prior Order of Court
dated October 23, 2000 to eliminate and/or substantially decreases Defendant's contact with the
child and to place substantial control over Defendant during those periods, if any, during which he
exercises any visitation rights.

Christopher M. Weiss,
Defendant
MODIFICATION OF COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
Now comes the plaintiff, Rachel K. Fanus by and through her counsel,
Galen R. Waltz, Esquire and represents as follows:
1. Plaintiff is Rachel K. Fanus, an adult individual, whose residence is at 352
West Penn Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant is Christopher M. Weiss, an adult individual, whose residence
is at 69 Blue Pond, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. Plaintiff seeks to expand her primary physical custody schedule for the
following child:
Cameron M. Weiss, Born October 5,1999.
4. The parents, parties herein were never married to each other.
5. The child is presently in the custody of Mother pursuant to an order of
court dated October 23, 2000, a copy which is marked exhibit (A) attached here to and
incorporated herein.
6. Since the child's birth, the child has resided at the following addresses:
Name Address Dates
Cameron M. Weiss 352 West Penn St., Carlisle, PA Nov.2000 to Present
91 B Partridge Circle, Carlisle, PA March 2000 to Nov. 2000
173 E. Pomfret St., apt. 2 Carlisle, PA date of birth to Mar. 2000
7. The relationship of the Plaintiff to the child is that of natural mother. No
other person resides with Plaintiff and child at the current address
8. The relationship of the Defendant to the child is that of natural father.
Currently the Defendant resides with his mother, Victoria Weiss and sister Mary Weiss.
9. The Plaintiff has participated as a party or witness, in other litigation
concerning the custody of the child in this Court at civil action - law custody number 00-
5639.
10. Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to proceeding who has
physical custody of the child or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to
the child.
11. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by
granting the relief requested for the following reasons:
A) Mother has secured employment after educating herself to become a
medical assistant at the Carlisle Pediatric Associates located at 804
Belvedere Street, Carlisle, PA.
B) Ordinarily, Mother does not work weekends; however, she occasionally
may work one Saturday per month from 8:00am to 12:30pm; mother
wishes to spend weekends with her son doing activities that can be
shared by both.
C) Father has been recently released from incarceration for what is
believed to be the third time.
D) Father has attempted suicide in the past.
E) Father has been drinking alcoholic beverages excessively while the
child is in his custody.
12. It is believed and therefore averred when the father has custody of the
child, that an approved child safety seat is not used to transport the child.
13. Father fails to provide reasonable notice to the mother/plaintiff when the
father either is not going to pick up the child or is late returning the child.
14. Father is not present at times during transfer of the child into his custody.
15. Father has never exercised Friday to Saturday visitations.
16. Father's visitation with his son can best be described a sporadic.
i
II
17. Father exposes the child to second hand smoke inhalation as well as
Father does not spend the time with his son when the child is supposed to be in his
custody; instead, father leaves the child with his mother, while father travels to a bar to
consume alcoholic beverages hours at a time.
18. Mother/plaintiff therefore believes and states the child will receive the
nurturing, love and up bringing he needs by experiencing weekends with mother and
therefore seeks to change the current order to reflect what has in fact become the
custom during the entire life time of the child.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests your Honorable Court to grant the increased
custody of the child to Rachel K. Fanus subject to reasonable rights of visitation and
partial custody in the father as previously demonstrated during the life of the child.
Respectfully Submitted
