IN CUSTODY
PETITION
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
I
i p~titions the court for relief in the above matter, based upon the following:
II! 1, The Petitioner herein is the Plaintiff. The Respondent herein is the Defendant. At
II t~e present time, to Plaintiff's knowledge, the Defendant is not represented by counsel. The
I gefendant's current address is 32 Circle Drive in Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
111ennSYIVania 17011.
II I 2, In March of 2005, this court entered the most recent order in this action, That order
II J'arded shared legal custody of the parties' one child, Jack Ryan Dunphy, born 6 October
I r
I 1p97. The order awarded Plaintiff primary physical custody and set a schedule for Defendant
i tg have periods of temporary custody.
Ii: 3. Since the entry of that order, Defendant has consistently violated it and failed to
, otserve both the spirit and letter of the order. Some examples of his conduct which are
I vtlatile of the order are:
I A. He terminated the co-parenting counseling that was ordered by the
,
i court and has, as yet, refused to continue that counseling or to schedule
counseling with another counselor.
B. Plaintiff believes he has discontinued his personal counseling with
Debra Salem as required by the order.
II
Ii
II
I
I
II
I
C. He demonstrates open hostility to Plaintiff in the presence of the child.
D, He has stated, in the presence of Plaintiff and others, that no Judge
and no order of court will control his access to his child or the time he spends
with his child.
E, He does not observe the child's bedtime in accordance with the order.
F, He consistently returns the child at times other than specified in the
order and is generally late with his return times,
G. He continues to involve the child in disputes between the parties and
continues to discuss adult matters with the child to involve him in those disputes.
H, He has attempted to exclude Plaintiff from activities in which the child
is involved in an effort to monopolize those activities.
I. He has interfered with Plaintiff's periods of custody by visiting the child
at school and at his activities contrary to the expressed wishes and instructions
of Plaintiff,
laintiff believes that Defendant will continue to violate the order because Defendant has
ade it clear, by his conduct and by statements he has made to Plaintiff and to others, that he
ill not be bound by the terms of any court order and will see his child when, where, and as he
4, Plaintiff believes that Defendant suffers from emotional, psychological, or psychiatric
p oblems which prevent him from understanding his proper role as a parent and prevent him
fr m cooperating with Plaintiff in raising the child, Some of those problems were noted in a
c stody evaluation done earlier in this case by Kasey Shienvold, Psy.D. of Riegler Shienvold
& Associates. A copy of that evaluation is attached here and marked as EXHIBIT A.
5. Defendant's conduct toward Plaintiff and toward the child has not improved since the
e aluation done by Dr. Shienvold or the counseling which this court has ordered Defendant to
u dertake.
6. Plaintiff believes that Defendant's conduct toward her and others and in the
pr~sence of and toward the child, is detrimental to the child and is disrupting his proper

I
i
,

I
I
I
upbringing, She believes the proper way to protect the child from Defendant's conduct is to
suspend the order until this matter can be fully evaluated by a psychologist and heard fully by
this court. In addition, Plaintiff feels it is best for the child to suspend the father's periods of
temporary custody until that evaluation and hearing can be completed.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this court to order and direct as follows:
A, Require both parties to participate in a custody evaluation by Kasey
Shienvold, Psy,D. to update the evaluation he performed in 2004 and to fully
evaluate Defendant's behavior and its effect upon the child; and
B. Following that evaluation, to conduct a hearing to determine the extent
to which Defendant should have periods of temporary custody with the child; and
C. Compel Defendant to comply with the provisions of the current order
which require him to continue his personal counseling and participate in co-
parenting counseling with Plaintiff; and
D. Suspend Defendant's periods of temporary custody with the child
pending the completion of the evaluation and a full hearing before this court; and
E. After the custody evaluation and a full hearing before this court,
reduce Defendant's periods of temporary custody beyond that set out in the
current order and impose such conditions on the Defendant's custody of the
child as are reasonable or necessary to protect the child; and
F. Such other actions as the court deems appropriate or equitable.
