CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is
as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Sean New
January 22,1999
Mother
2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on January 18, 2001, with the
following individuals in attendance: the Father, Keith New, and his counsel, H. Allison Wright,
Esquire; the Mother, Flora New NK/A Posteraro, and her counsel, Samuel Andes, Esquire.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: the Father would like to have shared
physical custody of the minor Child. The parties did not separate until the day before the
Custody Conference. Father states that it is very important for him to be involved in the
Child's life as much as possible and affirms his belief that Mother's involvement is vital to the
well-being of the Child as well. Father works from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day and
reports he has some flexibility in his work hours. In particular, Father would like to pick up the
Child each day after work and have time with him on some week days for over nights as well
as weekends.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother also affirms that frequent
involvement of the Father is necessary for the best interest of the Child. However, she
maintains that she has been the primary caretaker of the Child. She presently works from
11 :00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and allows the Child to sleep until he naturally awakens each
morning. She is especially concerned about changes in his schedule which might require him
to be awakened early during the week and disrupt his sleep schedule. She is concerned
about the impact of the Child's going back and forth between two homes and sleeping in
different homes during the week. As well, she is concerned about the Child being away from
either parent for long periods of time given his young age.

No. 00-8678
5. The parties were unable to reach an agreement as to a schedule which would allow
the Child to have frequent and continuing contact with each of them. However, it was agreed
the Conciliator would recommend a Temporary Order and that the parties would return to a
Custody Conciliation Conference prior to proceeding to trial. The parties were also presented
with the option of considering the use of private custody mediation as an alternative to
resolving this dispute through litigation. The Conciliator's recommended Interim Order is
attached.

following individuals in attendance: the Father, Keith New, and his counsel, Maria P. Cognetti,
Esquire; the Mother, Flora New, and her counsel, Samuel L. Andes, Esquire.
3. The parties were separated on January 17, 2001, this one day prior to the first
Custody Conciliation Conference. The parties were seen for a follow-up Conference on March
28, 2001.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father would like additional time including
periods of overnights during the week. In as much as Mother would not agree to that, Father
has proposed the parties enter mediation to resolve this custody matter. Father also seeks a
custody evaluation to assist them in determining what is the best arrangement for their Child.
Additionally, Father would like custodial time in the summer for the purposes of vacation and a
plan for how the parties will share and/or alternate the holidays.
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother has expressed concern that the
Child is having difficulties since the parties' separation. In particular, she reports that he is
calling out in his sleep at night. At the time of the Conference, Mother did not feel prepared to
make decisions regarding mediation, a custody evaluation, a holiday schedule, or the summer
plan for vacation time. She did agree that she would be willing to discuss these matters at
some time in the future but did not feel prepared to discuss and make decisions about these
matters on the day of the Conference.

Dear Judge Oler:
You have a. hearing scheduled before you at 9:00 R.m_ on Monday, 1 July
2002. I represent the Defendant in this matter and the Plaintiff is represented
by Maria P. Cognetti, Esquire.
The parties have been working with a mediator to resolve their
differences in the case and have made great progress. UnfurLwlately, there is
at least one item still to he worked out and they need another session or two
with the mediator to do that. We are confident that they will be able to work
out that ditJerence and that a hearing will nut be necessary. To give them the
opportunity to finish the mediation process, we have agreed to request that the
hearing scheduled fOf Monday morning be postponed. I enclose a copy of a
letter from Marla Cognetti cunfirming her consent to the postponement.
If the parties are able to resolve this by agreement, counsel will submit a
propol:lcu ul'der to you within the next thirty days. If they are not ahle to
resolve it, we will be in contact with you to request that a hearing be
rescheduled. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
