PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF RESTORING
CUSTODY TO SCOTT A. MYERS
TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THE SAID COURT:
AND NOW comes the Plaintiff/Petitioner, SCOTT A. MYERS, by his attorney, MAX J.
SMITH, JR., Esquire, and respectfully represents the following in support of his Petition for
Emergency Relief:
1. Plaintiff is an adult individual residing at 105 Poplar Street, Summerdale,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant is an adult individual believed to be residing at 336 16th Street, New
Cumberland, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties were married on May 18, 1996, and are the parents of two children,
TRISTAN N. MYERS, born October 17, 1997, and BAILEY A. MYERS, born April 18, 2000.
4. The parties separated on February 9,2001, at which time Defendant vacated the
marital home at 105 Poplar Street, Summerdale, Cumberland County, where Plaintiff continues
to reside.
5. A divorce action was filed by Plaintiff against Defendant on June 1, 2001, entered
to No. 2001-3380, Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
6. Pursuant to a custody action filed by Plaintiff, a conciliation conference was held
on September 4,2001, resulting in an Order of Court dated September 11, 2001, in which
primary physical custody of the children was awarded to Plaintiff (See copy of Order of Court
marked Exhibit "A", attached hereto and made part hereof).
7. The parties attempted a marital reconciliation in November 2001, at which time
Defendant returned to the marital residence.
8. On Saturday, February 22, 2003, without notice to Plaintiff, Defendant vacated
the marital residence, taking the children with her.
9. Attempts by Plaintiff to locate Defendant and the children have been
unsuccessful, Plaintiff only having been told by Defendant's mother, Jane Hollenbeck, on
Sunday, February 23, 2003, that the children are "in a safe place." Ms. Hollenbeck refused to
comment further on the whereabouts of the children.
10. P1aintiffhas contacted the police to enforce the Order of Court, but was advised
that no action would be taken, as the matter is "civil", and therefore Plaintiff should contact his
attorney.
11. Plaintiff is concerned about the safety and welfare of the children, as Defendant
has a drinking problem and had been staying out very late at night prior to vacating the marital
home.
12. The best interests of the children require that they be returned immediately to the
marital home, which is the only home they know, and where they had been well-adjusted under
Plaintiff's primary care.
13. Plaintiff is eminently qualified to continue caring for the children.
14. Defendant has acted in a manner contrary to the children's best interests by
unilaterally moving them from their home, and preventing them from seeing Defendant.
15. Defendant has willfully violated the Order of Court dated September 11,2001 by
wrongfully removing the children from Plaintiff s care, and by refusing to divulge her address,
despite the very clearly stated terms of the Order.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that custody of TRISTAN N. MYERS and
BAILEY A. MYERS be restored to him immediately; and that Defendant be held in contempt for
willful violation of the Order of Court dated September 11,2001.
DATE: February 24,2003

PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY
AND NOW, this 13'h day of January, 2004, comes Petitioner Scott Myers, by and through
his attorney, Joanne Harrison Clough, of Reager & Adler, PC, and respectfully avers as follows:
I. Scott A Myers is an adult individual, currently residing at 105 Poplar Street,
Summerdale, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He is the natural father of Tristan Myers, age 6,
born October II, 1997, and Bailey Myers, age 3, born on April 18, 2000.
2. Jennifer Myers is an adult individual, currently residing with her mother at 26 Sharon
Road, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025. She is the natural mother of Tristan and
Bailey Myers.
3. In 2001, when the parties initially separated, a Custody Order was issued on
September 11,2001, granting Father primary physical custody of the minor children. A true and
correct copy of said Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
4. The parties subsequently reconciled and separated again in late February of2003.
5. A Custody Order was entered on April 17 , 2003. Said Order provides that the parties
have equal shared physical and shared legal custody ofthe minor children. A true and correct copy
of said Custody Order is attached hereto, made part of, and incorporated herein by reference as
Exhibit "B."
6. Petitioner Scott Myers is of the belief, and therefore avers, that the current joint
physical custody schedule is no longer in the best interest and permanent welfare of the minor
children, Tristan and Bailey Myers, and seeks a modification of the current Custody Order, for the
following reasons:
a. Petitioner Scott Myers is better able to meet the day-to-day needs of the
children. Therefore, it is in the best interest and permanent welfare of the children that he
be the primary custodial parent of the children;
b. Respondent Jennifer Myers has been promoting her self-interest above the
best interest and permanent welfare of the minor children, Tristan and Bailey Myers;
c. It is in the best interest and permanent welfare of the minor children that they
be in a stable and loving home environment, and Petitioner Scott Myers is better able to
provide a consistent home environment than Respondent;
d. Petitioner Scott Myers has provided morc of the primary care-taking
responsibilities of the childrcn since their birth than Respondent, and it is in the best interest
and permanent welfare of the children that this primary caretaker relationship be
reestablished between the children and their Father; and
e. Respondent/Mother Jennifer Myers' personal life and social activities are
such that it is in the best interest and permanent welfare of the children that PetitionerlFather
Scott A. Myers have primary physical custody of the minor children, Tristan and Bailey
Myers.
2
WHEREFORE, Petitioner Scott A. Myers respectfully requests this Honorable Court
schedule a hearing on this Petition For Modification of Custody, and, after hearing the evidence
presented at said hearing, grant him primary physical custody of the parties' minor children with
reasonable periods of partial custody to the Respondent/Mother Jennifer Myers, and grant any further
relief this Court deems appropriate.

IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
AND NOW, this ~ day of February, 2004, comes Petitioner Scott Myers, by and through
his attorney, Joanne Harrison Clough, of Reager & Adler, PC, and respectfully avers as follows:
I. Petitioner Scott A. Myers is an adult individual, currently residing at 105 Poplar
Street, Summerdale, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17093. He is the natural father of Tristan
Myers, age 6, born October 11,1997, and Bailey Myers, age 3, born on April 18, 2000.
2. Jennifer H. Myers is an adult individual, who, at the time of the entry of the last
Custody Order, was residing with her mother at 26 Sharon Road, Enola, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17025. She is the natural mother of Tristan and Bailey Myers.
3. Petitioner Scott Myers recently learned that Respondent Jennifer Myers had a "falling
out" with her mother and has vacated her mother's residence at 26 Sharon Road, Enola,
Pennsylvania 17025, and has moved into her new boyfriend's one-bedroom apartment, located at
1557 S. Enola Drive, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17025.
4. Respondent Jennifer H. Myers presently has shared physical custody of the parties'
children, pursuant to the Custody Order of April 17, 2003, and has physical custody of the children
fifty percent (50%) ofthe time. Since approximately January 16,2004, when in the Respondent's
custody, the minor children, Tristan and Bailey, ages 6 and 3, have been residing with their mother
at her boyfriend's one-bedroom apartment, where the children are sleeping on the floor.
I
5. The minor child, Bailey, suffers from asthma and requires nebulizer treatments.
6. Respondent Jennifer H. Myers and her boyfriend both smoke. They smoke in the
presence of the children in the one-bedroom apartment, which has been causing the minor child,
Bailey, to have difficulties with his asthmatic conditions and additional nebulizer treatments.
7. Petitioner Scott A. Myers filed a Petition For Modification of Custody on January 16,
2004 and a Court Order was entered on January 26, 2004 scheduling this matter for a Custody
Conciliation Conference on Tuesday, February 17, 2004 at I :30 p.m. before Custody Conciliator
Melissa P. Greevy.
8. Petitioner Scott A. Myers believes that it is in the best interest and permanent welfare
of the minor children that he be granted temporary sole physical custody of the parties' minor
children until the time of the Custody Conciliation Conference on February 17,2004, and, after said
conference, until such time as the court can determine if Respondent's new residence at her
boyfriend's one-bedroom apartment is an appropriate environment for the minor children.
9. Petitioner believes it is in the best interest of the children that he be granted physical
custody because:
a. The children have sufficient room, with beds and bedrooms, at Petitioner's
residence, which was formerly the marital residence;
b. The minor children can be properly cared for and not exposed to smoke while
in Petitioner's care;
c. Petitioner is better able to provide for and meet the day-to-day needs of the
minor children than Respondent; and
d. Respondent is putting her needs and selfish interests ahead of the needs and
best interests of the minor children.
2
WHEREFORE, Petitioner Scott A. Myers respectfully requests this Honorable Court grant
him temporary sole physical custody of the minor children and reasonable periods of visitation, with
no overnight visitation, until such time as the Custody Conciliation Conference on February 17,
2004, and thereafter until a full hearing. After hearing, Petitioner requests the court grant him
primary physical custody of the parties' minor children with reasonable periods of partial custody
to the Respondent/Mother Jennifer Myers, and grant any further relief this Court deems appropriate.

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE

1. The pertinent information concerning the children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:

Tristan M. Myers
Bailey A. Myers

2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on April 13, 2004 with the
following individuals in attendance: the Father, Scott A. Myers, and his counsel, Joanne H.
Clough, Esquire; the Mother, Jennifer H. Myers, and her counsel, Jerry Philpot, Esquire.
The Conference was scheduled by mutual agreement at thE! custody conciliation conference
on February 17, 2004.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father reports that he continues to
be seriously concerned that the children are being exposed to second-hand smoke in
Mother's home which seriously aggravates their asthma. Additionally, he reports that the
children still do not have beds to sleep in at Mother's residence. Father reports that Mother
has missed three of four appointments scheduled for the Itwo of them to participate in co-
parent counseling at Guidance Associates. Father says children are often not returned
bathed and ready to go to bed at the end of some of the custodial visits and therefore wants
to change the return time to 7:30 p.m. Father also continues to be concerned about
whether Mother is using the prescribed medication appropriately with the child who has
asthma because some of the medication has been returned to him having either too little or
too much of the medication remaining based on what would have been expected had it
been dispensed as prescribed. When the parties met on February 17, 2004, the parties
agreed that Mother would provide a copy of the chemical dependency evaluation which was
performed at Gaudenzia. However, Father's counsel reports that they have not received
this report. Father seeks primary physical custody of the children.
.-
NO. 01-4450 CIVIL TERM
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother has new counsel for this
conciliation. Mother reports that she attended one visit with Tristan's counselor, but that
some of the other appointments were not scheduled at a time that was convenient to her.
Unfortunately, she did not elect to reschedule those appointments to a more suitable time.
Mother reports that she again wants equal custodial time with Father. She has not resolved
the matter of the bunk beds and appropriate sleeping arrangements for the children. She
again promises to do so promptly. Mother's counsel has agreed to attempt to get a copy of
the chemical dependency evaluation from Gaudenzia. Mother has agreed that she will sign
a permission form to have the report provided to her attorney who will share it with Father's
attorney. Mother reports that the problem with the medication involved the parties' four year
old having obtained the container that is used to dispense the asthma medication. This
caused numerous doses to be wasted. Mother concedes that she has not fully remedied
the second-hand smoke problem in her residence and acknowledges that both she and her
male roommate are continuing to smoke in the residence.
5. Inasmuch as the parties could not reach an a9reement regarding the custodial
schedule that best meets these children's needs, a hearing will be necessary. In the
interim, the Conciliator makes a recommended order slightly modified from the schedule
which the parties had been following. A custody conciliation conference will be scheduled
prior to the Court's hearing date in the event that the parties believe they can reach an
agreement prior to the hearing before Judge BaYleyc)

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMAR:Y 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 conceming the children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRI:NTL Y IN THE CUSTODY OF
Tristan M. Myers
Bailey A. Myers
October 11, 1997

Father
Father
2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on June 17, 2004. The
Conciliator has met with these parties no less than five (5) times since September 2001. In
attendance were: the Father, Scott A. Myers, and his counsel, Joanne H. Clough, Esquire;
the Mother, Jennifer H. Myers, and her counsel, Jerry Philpot, Esquire. The Conference
was scheduled by mutual agreement at the Custody Conciliation Conference held on April
13, 2004. The purpose of the Conference was to explore whether the parties might be able
to reach an agreement rather than having the Court make their decisions.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father continues to seek primary
physical custody because he remains concerned that Mother is not administering the
asthma medication appropriately. Additionally, he points out that Mother is presently
unemployed.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother wants to return to an
equally shared physical custody schedule. Mother reports that she did lose her job at Uni-
Mart when she was trying to meet the requirements of the externship associated with the
training program which she was completing to become a rnedical assistant. She has now
completed this program and reports that she has appli1ed for approximately 20 jobs.
Mother's counsel had previously provided receipts indicating that Mother has purchased
bunk beds for the boys and some documentation that she! had gone to Gaudenzia for a
chemical dependency evaluation when she had been asked to do so. Mother indicates that
she has lost track of the medication instruction sheet that the doctor had provided from the
NO. 01-4450 CIVIL TERM
children's pediatrician and now seems to be unclear about the dosing instructions for the
children's medication. She reports that she no longer smokes in the residence and that she
no longer has a roommate.
5. The parties had been scheduled for hearing on June 24, 2004. By their
mutual agreement, the Conciliator contacted the Judge's chambers and continued that
hearing date to August 25,2004 at 10:00 a.m. Counsel didl not believe it would be helpful to
have a hearing at this time and sought to delay the hearing in anticipation that Mother would
obtain employment and her employment schedule could be considered when the Court
determines the custodial schedule. The parties do not wislh to return to Conciliation prior to
trial. Additionally, the parties agreed that during Mother's period of unemployment, she may
pick up the children early on her custodial days so long as it does not cause Tristan to miss
any field trips. An Order providing for that modification is attached in addition to an Order
granting a continuance and setting a new hearing date.

As you may recall, this case was listed for trial in December, 2003. The case had
to be continued because of your hospitalization.
It is my understanding that the case has not been re-listed for trial. I do not want
to take any steps to re-list it for trial until I have had an opportunity to discuss your
schedule.
At your earliest opportunity please contact my office so that we can review our
calendars and determine when we should list this case for trial. Because of your
prior health problem, I do not want to take any steps to list it without an
understanding of your availability.
Similarly I would hope that you will not list it for trial without conferring with me
and ascertaining my availability.
Finally, I have not received any expert witness reports from you.
