Louis Lane, Enola, County of Cumberland, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant is HEATHER L. POPP, who currently resides at 205 Nice
Road, Halifax, County of Dauphin, Pennsylvania.
3. Plaintiff seeks to have rights of primary physical and shared legal
custody with respect to ERIC MICHAEL LUTCAVAGE, born April 6, 2003.
The child was born out of wedlock.
The child is presently in the custody of Defendant, HEATHER L. POPP.
Since birth, the child has resided with the following persons and at the
following addresses: from birth, until April 9, 2003, with both parents at 213
Louis Lane, Enola, Pennsylvaia; from April 9, 2003, until the present with
Defendant at 205 Nice Road, Halifax, Pennsylvania.
The mother of the child is HEATHER L. POPP, who currently resides at
205 Nice Road, Halifax, Pennsylvania. She is not married.
The father of the child is JOSEPH T. LUTCAVAGE, who currently resides
at 213 Louis Lane, Enola, Pennsylvania. He is not married.
4. The relationship of the Plaintiff to the child is that of father. The
Plaintiff currently resides alone.
5. The relationship of the Defendant to the children is that of mother.
She currently resides with the child and with her parents, Dennis and Dolores
Popp, and her brother, Jason Popp.
6. The Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another
capacity, in other litigation concerning the custody of the child in this or in
another court.
The Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the
custody of the child in this or in another court.
Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to these proceedings who
has physical custody of the child or who claims to have custody or visitation
rights with respect to the child.
7. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by
confirming rights of primary physical and shared legal custody in Plaintiff
because Plaintiff has been denied access to the subject minor child.
8. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not been
terminated and the person who has physical custody of the child has been
named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that Your Honorable Court enter an
