Ob-ta-o'3 BY THE COURT, ~- Ju~d~ge Barbara Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire Supreme Court #32317 549 Bridge Street New Cumberland, PA 17070 (717) 774-1445 SHERRI D. WHITSEL, Plaintiff KENNETH R. WHITSEL, Defendant : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA : NO.. 03-1746 C1VIL ACTION - CUSTODY Petition for Contempt 1. Plaintiffis Sherri D. Whitsel, an individual residing at 22.0 Constitutional Court, Mechanicsburg, and Cumberland County, PA 07050. 2. Respondent is Kenneth R. Whitsel, an individual residing at 313 S. Logan Boulevard Burnham, Mifflin County PA 17009 3. On June 9th, 2003, an Order of Custody was entered by stipulation of the parties. A copy of the Order is attached hereto. 4. During the negotiations of the stipulation underlying the Order, Plaintiff agreed to allow Defendant additional time during his actual workweek adjacent to his weekend so that the child could spend time with Defendant's extended family even if he was not off on those days. 5. In order to insure that the child spent such time with Defbndant's family, the parties agreed on prior notice and restrictions on transportation of the child. 6. Paragraph I of the stipulation provides: TRANSPORTATION: Father shall provide Mother with at least twelve (12) hour notice of who will be providing transportation in the event Father is unable to do so. All third party transportations shall be approved by both Father and Mother 7. Immediately prior to the execution of the stipulation, Defendant balked at the inclusion of paragraph I. 8. Since removal of this safeguard and restriction was critical to Plaintiff's concurrence in granting to the Defendant the additional time, she would not agree to the stipulation without it. 9. Defendant agreed to execute the stipulation containing the additional time and transportation restriction and confirming his intention to abide by same. 10. Almost immediately since the Order's implementation, Defendant has now flagrantly admitted to the Plaintiff that he would not abide by the requirement, deeming it ridiculous, and he has consistently allowed his present paramour (who has been a prior wife) to transport the child. This is occurring despite the express prohibition by the Plaintiff. 11. Plaintiff's objection to Defendant's use of his current p~rramour for transportation is grounded in actual statements made by the Defendant to Plaintiff about this woman that leads the Plaintiff to fear for the safety of the child. 12. The sole purpose of allowing the extended days between the child and Defendant's extended family is thwarted due to the child being left with the paramour, contrary to the express desire of the Plaintiff. 2 13. Defendant's actions are direct and willful violation of the'order of court dated June 9, 2003. 14. Additionally, the parties share legal custody. 15. Paragraph 1 provides, inter alia "...Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance concerning their child that could reasonably be expected to of concern to the other..." 16. After a recent visit, the child advised Petitioner that he had to go to a new Sunday School class and he was supposed to be brave and not cry. 17. Petitioner had previously been advised by Respondent, that he would be attending church with his extended family and the child would be attending Sunday School where his Aunt was the child's teacher. 18. No notification of change of church and/or religion was ever given to Petitioner by Respondent. 19. Respondent has failed to discuss this matter or consult c,r communicate with Petitioner on this important matter in violation of the Court Order. 20. Plaintiff requests that the Defendant be held in contempt and that Defendant be required to pay all costs, including attorney's fees, incurred by her in the prosecution of this matter. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff requests the Court to enter an urder of custody consistent with the terms of the parties' stipulation.
