MICHAEL R. WARNER,

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
CHILD CUSTODY
PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
AND NOW comes the PetitionerlDefendant, Michael R. Warner,
hereinafter referred to as "Father", by and through his attorneys, the Law Offices of
Silliker & Reinhold, by Kristin R. Reinhold, Esquire, and respectfully presents this
Petition for Emergency Relief based upon the following:
1. The parties hereto are the natural parents of two minor children,
Brock M. Warner, born September 12, 1987, and Marissa K. Warner, born June 10, 1990.
2. Pursuant to the terms of an Order of Court dated August 16, 2001, and
August 15,2002, the parties exercise shared legal and physical custody of their children
wherein Father has primary physical custody of Brock M. Warner while the Respondent,
hereinafter referred to as "Mother", has primary physical custody of Marissa K. Warner.
The parties alternate having custody of both children on weekends. As well, Father has
custody of both children after school hours every Thursday, while Mother has custody of
both children after school hours every Monday. A copy of the Court Orders dated
August 16,2001, and August 15,2002, marked Exhibit "A" and "B" respectively, are
attached hereto and incorporated herein.
...-,.

~', - ~,.", - JL:.d J/
3. Since 1996, the parties' children have attended Bible Baptist School
located in Shiremanstown, Pennsylvania. The children continued to attend there after the
parties' separation in 2000.
4. On August 20,2002, the parties' daughter, Marissa, informed her
father that her mother had taken her to Good Hope Middle School in the Cumberland
Valley School District to enroll her for attendance in the 2002-2003 academic year.
5. Prior to August 20, 2002, Father had had no discussions with Mother
regarding schooling for approximately one year.
6. On August 21, 2002, Father's counsel contacted Dawn M. Sunday,
Esquire, appointed Custody Conciliator in this custody action, and scheduled a tentative
emergency conciliation on this matter for August 27,2002.
7. On August 22, 2002, this counsel spoke to Mother's counsel ofrecord,
Theresa Barrett Male, Esquire, regarding the school situation. Attorney Male represented
to this counsel that she had spoken to Dawn M. Sunday, Esquire regarding this issue and
acknowledged that the status quo should be maintained in that the parties' daughter
should continue to attend Bible Baptist School. On that same date, Attorney Male faxed
a letter to this counsel and Dawn M. Sunday, Esquire setting forth that Mother consented
to Marissa's attendance at Bible Baptist School. Based upon that representation, the
tentative Custody Conciliation scheduled for August 27, 2002, was cancelled. A copy of
said correspondence marked Exhibit "c" is attached hereto and incorporated herein.
..
" ~ i
"""""""l....._i
8. On Monday, August 26, 2002, Father contacted Bible Baptist School to
ensure that his daughter was in attendance. He was informed that his daughter did not
attend school that day. At approximately 9:00 a.m., Father received a call from his
daughter who was extremely distraught. Marissa K. Warner informed her father that she
had missed the bus that morning and her mother refused to take her to school. She went
on to further state that her mother went to work and had told her that she might drive her
to school once she got back from her jobs. Father then attempted to contact Mother with
no success. When he called back to Mother's home to talk to his daughter, he also got no
response. At approximately 2:00 p.m. on the same date, Father reached Mother by
telephone wherein she told him that Marissa hild not attended school that morning
because Marissa was sick. Father then asked to speak to his daughter and Mother told
him that she was not available. Father questioned why she would not be available if she
was sick, at which point Mother hung up on him. In response to this incident, this
counsel faxed a letter to Mother's counsel as Attorney Male was not available in her
office on that date. A copy of this counsel's correspondence dated August 26,2002,
marked Exhibit "D", is attached hereto and incorporated herein.
9. On Tuesday, August 27, 2002, Father contacted Bible Baptist School to
ensure his daughter was in attendance. He was informed that his daughter had not
attended school that day. Father then received a call from Mother who told him that
Marissa did not want to attend Bible Baptist School and therefore she had taken her to
Good Hope Middle School that morning. Father informed Mother that he had spoken to
his daughter on August 26, 2002 and that she had told him that she did not attend Bible
Baptist School because her Mother was unwilling to drive her to school. Mother had no
.
-,-,
.: I.,.,
,"-'"->.
~~&I~-,
response. When asked whether Mother intended to continue Marissa's enrollment in the
Cumberland Valley School District, Mother had no response.
10. The parties have shared legal custody and therefore Mother is under a
legal obligation to discuss a change in the children's schooling with Father.
11. The subject minor child, Marissa K. Warner, has attended Bible
Baptist School since first grade. She is currently in seventh grade. The parties' son,
Brock M. Warner, has attended, and currently attends, Bible Baptist School since third
grade.
12. Mother has represented through her counsel that she consented to her
daughter's attendance at Bible Baptist School for the 2002-2003 academic year. Based
on these representations, a Conciliation before Dawn Sunday, Esquire was cancelled for
August 27, 2002.
13. By way of additional background information, Father filed a Petition
to ModifY Custody in June of2002 based upon his daughter's desire to live with him. A
Conciliation was held resulting in the entry of an Order dated August 15, 2002, wherein
the parties agreed to submit themselves for a Custody Evaluation to be performed by
Arnold Shienvold, PhD. Additionally, Father filed a Petition for Contempt on or about
July 23, 2002, due to Mother's denial of Father's custodial time with his daughter. A
hearing on Father's Petition for Contempt is currently scheduled before Dawn M.
Sunday, Esquire on September 26, 2002.
~ I
L ,I
-- "~~,~,
14. Mother's flagrant disregard for the legal custody provisions of this
Court's Order of August 16,2001 and her disregard for the agreement represented
through her counsel to continue her daughter's attendance at Bible Baptist School
demonstrates a complete disregard for the best interests of her daughter.
15. The subject minor child, Marissa K. Warner has represented to her
father that she desires to continue to attend Bible Baptist School and not public school.
16. Mother's counsel contacted this counsel on August 27,2002, at
approximately 11 :30 a.m. and set forth that she told her client to pick up the child from
Good Hope Middle School and take her to Bible Baptist School for the remainder of the
day. A copy offaxed correspondence confirming said telephone call dated August 27,
2002, marked Exhibit "E" is attached hereto and incorporated herein.
17. Despite counsel's assurance that Marissa K. Warner shall attend Bible
Baptist School pending the custody evaluation, Father believes and therefore avers that a
Court Order is necessary in the event Mother attempts to renege on their agreement for a
second time.
18. Father believes and therefore avers that it was and is psychologically
damaging to his daughter to have missed her first day of school and to have attended a
new school on her second day against her wishes.
19. Father requests this Court issue an Order setting forth that Marissa K.
Wamer shall continue to attend Bible Baptist School so that no further incidents take
place that would further traumatize the subject minor child.
,,~.. "

""""'\'!I'It~~,~",
20. Father has incurred legal fees in the preparation and filing ofthis
Petition for Emergency Relief.
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests this Honorable Court:
a. Issue an Order directing that the subject minor child continue
her attendance at Bible Baptist School pending the Custody
Evaluation to be performed by Arnold Shienvold, PhD.
b. Award Father's attorney's fees and costs incurred relative to the
filing ofthis Petition.
c. Any other relief this Court deems reasonable and just.

Re: Warner v. Warner (# 00-6283)
Dear Kristin:
This will confirm our telephone conversation earlier this morning.
Pending recommendation from Arnie Shienvold on Marissa's educational needs, l!!Y..c!~
consents to Marissa's attendance at Baptist Bible. This is without prejudice to Ms. Warner's
position, as set forth in my letter to Mark Silliker yesterday, and her continued belief that
Marissa will receive a broader, more urbane educational experience in public school.
This also will confirm my client's indication that the parties have agreed to exchange weekends.
Therefore, your client will have custody this weekend, i.e., August 23 to August 25. My client
will have custody from August 30 to September 1. Also, because Dr. Warner had custody for
Easter, Memorial Day, and on July 4th, my client will have custody on Labor Day.
By copy of this letter, I am advising Dawn Sunday that we do not need a conciliation conference
on the school issue. If you have any questions, please call me.

Re: Warner v. Warner
Dear Theresa:
Dr. Warner contacted my office this morning when he discovered that his daughter had
not shown up for the first day of school at Bible Baptist. Shortly thereafter, he received a
call from Marissa who was extremely distraught. It appears that when your client found
out that Marissa would continue to attend Bible Baptist School, she told her that she
would no longer drive her to school and that she needed to catch the bus. Marissa told
her father that she had missed the bus and her mother refused to drive her to school. I
believe Shirley then left the home to clean houses and told her daughter that she might
drive her to school when she got back. Michael continued to call throughout the day
receiving no return calls. I attempted to contact your office, but nobody was in. At
approximately 2:00 p.m. Dr. Warner got in touch with Mrs. Warner, and she told him that
Marissa had not attended today because she was sick. Apparently, Shirley did not know
that Marissa had contacted Dr. Warner this morning. Dr. Warner then asked to speak to
his daughter and Shirley told him that she was busy and couldn't come to the phone. Dr.
Warner pointed out to her that if Marissa was sick she should not be so busy that she
could not come to the phone, at which point Shirley hung up on Dr. Warner.
The purpose of this letter is to ask that you contact your client and make sure that she
takes responsibility for her daughter attending school in a timely manner. If Marissa
misses the bus, we expect her to drive her to school. If Shirley is going to refuse to do
this, Dr. Warner will take the necessary steps to get her to school. However, if your
client desires to remain primary custodian of Marissa, she needs to assure that her child
attends school.
Dr. Warner is also extremely concerned with the verbal abuse \'!hich Shirley has been
engaging in with her daughter. When Marissa was at his house on Thursday evening,
EXHIBIT
'I V"
'"
,
"
~. ,
Shirley called Marissa. Dr. Warner was in the room with his daughter and could hear
Shirley screaming at Marissa regarding the school situation. At some point he took the
phone and told Shirley that she needed to stop screaming at her child, that this was an
issue for the two oft11:em to discuss. When Shirley picked up Marissa that evening, he
could hear her screaming at her daughter in the car as they drove off. We understand that
Shirley is unhappy with Marissa's attendance at Bible Baptist School. However, if she
continues to engage in verbal abuse and manipulation of her daughter, there are going to
be some serious mental health issues we are going to have to address in the future. I
would ask that you counsel your client to discuss this issue no further with her daughter
as it will eventually be settled by the Court.
Lastly, my client is tired of not being permitted to speak to his daughter when he calls.
This has happened on numerous occasions and there is absolutely no excuse for it. This
issue had been raised at prior custody conciliations and Shirley has been counseled on the
concept of making the children available for phone calls from their father. Hereinafter,
we do expect that Ms. Warner will make Marissa available for telephone calls from Dr.
Warner assuming she is in the household.
Please contact me to discuss these issues.
Sincerely,
.!di~

Re: Warner v. Warner (II 00-6283)
Dcllt Kristin:
This will confirm our telephone conversations this mol'lling. As I advised you, until I received
your message yesterday, I had no knowledge of any change in the agreement on Marissa's
attendance at Baptist Bible as set forth in my August 22 letter, In fact. based on my discussions
with my client, I did nor anticipate any problems regarding this issue.
Shirley informs me thaI, as she was escorting Marissa to the bus yesterday morning, to go to
the bible school, Marissa abrul?t1y turned and walked back to the house. Marissa vacillated
about going to Baptist Bible late and refusing to iO there at all. Later in the day, Marissa told
her mother that she wanted to attend Good Hope, and Shircly acquiesced.
I explained to my client that, notwHhstanding her desire to assist Marissa, the pllrlles already
had agreed that Marissa would remain at the private school pending assessment of tbls issue by
Arnie Shienvold. Based on that agreement, and your indication that you had prepared an
emergency petition to present to the court today, I advised Shirley to take MariSsa out of the
puhlic school and deliver her to the bible schOol today. I further advised Shirley to call M icbael
and speak with him about this so that Marissa cannot manipulate her parents.
Please call me if you have any further concerns.

IN CUSTODY
PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
AND NOW comes the Petitioner, Michael R. Warner, hereinafter referred
to as Father, by and through his attorneys, the Law Offices of Silliker and Reinhold, by
Kristin R. Reinhold, Esquire, and respectfully petitions this Honorable Court to modify
its Order dated August 16,2001, based upon the following:
1. The parties hereto are the natural parents of two children, namely
Brock M. Warner, born September 12, 1987, and Marissa K. Warner, born June 10, 1990.
2. An Order of Court was entered by the Honorable 1. Wesley Oler,
Jr., on August 16, 2001, relative to custody of the subject minor children. Pursuant to the
terms of said Order, Father has primary physical custody of Brock M. Warner, while
Mother has primary physical custody of Marissa K. Warner. The parties share legal
custody of both children. Additionally, both parties enjoy alternating weekends and one
evening per week with both children. A copy of the Order of Court dated August 16,
2001, is attached hereto and incorporated herein.
,." .. ^ """'" l <
~.~
-_-~b", '
~ : 1116 ' . ;.;--'~'~
,
3. For the past several months, the subject minor child Marissa K.
Warner has indicated a preference to live with her Father.
4. Since the parties' separation in late 2000, Mother has left and
continues to leave both children for lengthy periods oftime unsupervised, including
evening and nighttime hours.
5. It is believed and therefore averred that Mother intends on moving
herself and the subject minor child Marissa K. Warner into the home of her paramour,
who is not yet divorced.
6. It is believed and therefore averred that it is not in the best interests
of the subject minor children that they be exposed to this environment, as both children
were raised with strict religious beliefs during the parties' marriage, and continued to be
raised with those beliefs when they are in the custody of their father.
7. Both of the subject minor children are highly involved in their
church and attend parochial school, and as such have indicated confusion and
disillusionment with their mother's current lifestyle.
8. It is believed and therefore averred that Father could provide a
more wholesome, nurturing environment for the subject minor child, Marissa K. Warner.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
v.
: NO. 01-1924
MICHAEL R. WARNER, : CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Petitioner/Defendant : IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
AND NOW comes the Petitioner/Defendant, Michael R. Warner, by and
through his attorneys, the Law Offices of Silliker and Reinhold, by Kristin R. Reinhold,
Esquire, and respectfully requests this Honorable Court find the Respondent in Contempt
of the Order of Court dated August 16, 200 I, and in support thereof avers the following:
I. The parties hereto are the natural parents of two subject minor
children, namely Brock M. Warner, born September 12, 1987, and Marissa K. Warner,
born June 10, 1990.
2. Pursuant to the terms of this Court's Order of August 16, 2001, the
parties exercise shared legal and physical custody wherein Petitioner, hereinafter referred
to as "Father", has primary physical custody of Brock M. Warner, while the Respondent,
hereinafter referred to as "Mother", has primary physical custody of Marissa K. Warner.
The parties alternate having custody of both children on weekends. As well, Father has
custody of both children after school hours every Thursday, while Mother has custody of
. .
both children after school hours every Monday. A copy of the Court Order dated August
16,2001, marked Exhibit "A" is attached hereto and incorporated herein.
3. On July 17,2002, Mother contacted Father by telephone at 9:00
p.m. and informed him that she was going on vacation on July 18,2002, with the subject
minor child, Marissa K. Warner, and would be gone through the weekend. Father
informed Mother that it was his weekend to have the children and his family was having
a large reunion over the weekend, and he wanted his daughter to attend. As well, Father
informed Mother that Thursday was also his evening to have custody of Marissa. Father
told Mother that he would be willing to waive his time if, after speaking to his daughter,
she indicated that she would prefer to go on vacation with her mother, rather than going
with him on Thursday night and Friday through Sunday. Mother then made an excuse
why his daughter could not come to the phone. He then asked Mother to have her call
him that night. Neither Mother nor Marissa contacted Father for the remainder ofthe
night. Father then left a message on Mother's answering machine indicating that he
expected a call from his daughter by 8:00 a.m. the next morning (July 18,2002) or else
he would object to her violating the terms of the Court Order. Father received a
telephone call from his daughter on July 18,2002 at 8:00 a.m. wherein daughter indicated
that she did not want to go on vacation with her mother and mother's paramour, and that
she wanted to stay with her father. Father told Mother at that point that he objected to her
going on vacation as it was his custodial time. Mother told Father she was going to go on
vacation anyway.
c', I",_j ~
.
. ' .'
4. Prior to July 17,2002, Mother had given no indication or notice to
Father that she was taking a vacation from July 18, 2002 through July 22, 2002, despite
the fact that she knew it was Father's court-ordered custodial time and Father's family
was having a family reunion over that weekend.
5. Father filed a Petition to Modify Custody on or about June 18,
2002, requesting primary physical custody of his daughter, Marissa K. Warner. Father's
primary reason for seeking a modification of custody was based upon his daughter's
desire to come live with him.
6. It is believed and therefore averred that Mother's impulsive
decision to take a vacation over his weekend is motivated by a desire to alienate Marissa
K. Warner from her father's extended family.
7. Pursuant to the terms of the Custody Order dated August 16, 200 I,
Mother's alternating weekend of custody with both children is to run from Friday
afternoon through Sunday morning before church to enable Father to take the children to
church and to visit relatives. Since the entry of the Order, Mother has been driving the
parties' daughter to church on alternating Sunday mornings so that she may attend with
herfather.

, I,
1--
J[" I I
,c:, '- . ~ - '~- --;,'1
. .
8. Since Father filed his Petition to Modify Custody on or about June
18,2002, Mother has failed to bring the parties' daughter to church on alternating Sunday
mornings, thereby depriving Father of his Sunday visitation with his daughter.
9. Since the entry of the Order of Court dated August 16, 2001,
Mother has cooperated with Father in transporting the parties' daughter to Father's
church on Wednesday evenings for Youth Group.
10. Since the filing of Father's Petition for Modification on or about
June 18, 2002, Mother has failed to bring the parties' daughter to Youth Group at
Father's church on Wednesday evenings.
11. Mother has willfully violated the terms of this Court's Order dated
August 16,2001 by depriving Father of his Thursday evening visitation with his daughter
on July 18,2002, by depriving Father of his custodial weekend on July 19,2002, and by
failing to make the parties' daughter available for attendance at Father's church on
alternating Sundays.
12. Mother's failure to honor the terms ofthis Court's Custody Order
of August 16, 200 I indicates a flagrant disregard for the best interests of the subject
minor child, Marissa K. Warner.

Honorable Court:
A. Find the Respondent Shirley G. Warner in contempt of this Court's
Order of August 16, 2001;
B. Order the Respondent to pay Petitioner's attorney's fees and costs,
relative to the filing of this Contempt action; and

CIVIL ACTION - CUSTODY
ANSWER WITH COUNTERCLAIM
Answer
1. Admitted.
2. Plaintiff ("Mother") admits that the Court entered a consent order on August 16,
2001. By way of further answer, the order speaks for itself.
3. Mother denies this allegation as stated. By of further answer, Mother incorporates
by reference the averments set forth in her counterclaim.
4. Denied. Mother denies that she leaves Brock and Marissa, who are 14 and 12
years old, respectively, alone and unsupervised for lengthy periods of time, and demands strict
proof of this allegation at trial.
5. Admitted in part; denied in part. Mother admits that she intends to marry James
Mardis, whose divorce is still pending. Mother further admits that she moved into his residence
on July 1, 2002. Mother denies that Marissa does not get along with James. By way of further
-~

I, I

.
answer, under well-established law, a parent's sexual conduct is not relevant in a custody
proceeding unless it has a direct harmful or negative effect on the child. See generally, Michael
T. L. v. Marilyn J. L., 363 Pa. Super. 42, 525 A.2d 414 (1987).
6. Mother denies that the children are harmed by her relationship with Mr. Mardis,
and therefore demands strict proof of this allegation at trial. By way of further answer, Mother
incorporates by reference the averments set forth in her counterclaim.
7. Mother denies that the children are confused and therefore demands strict proof
of this allegation at trial. By way of further answer, Mother incorporates by reference the
averments set forth in her counterclaim.
8. Mother denies that Defendant-Father can provide a more wholesome and nurturing
environment for Marissa than Mother can. By way of further answer, Mother incorporates by
reference the averments set forth in her counterclaim.
9. Mother denies that the children's best interest will be served by awarding Father
primary custody of the children. By way of further answer incorporates by reference the
averments set forth in her counterclaim.
Wherefore, Plaintiff requests that the court deny Defendant's modification petition.
Counterclaim for Custody
10. Counterclaim Plaintiff ("Mother") incorporates by reference the averments set
forth in the preceding paragraphs.
11. Mother currently resides with the parties' daughter, Marissa (dob: 06/10/90), at
1010 Chppenharn Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

12. Counterclaim Defendant ("Father") resides with the parties' son, Brock (dob:
09/12/97) at 321 West Meadow Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
13. Mother believes and therefore avers that:
a. Father has not let go of his anger toward Mother
regarding her decision to leave the marriage.
b. Father continually seeks ways of punishing Mother, which
is evidenced in part by his allegation that the children are "disillu-
sioned" with Mother. See Petition at , 7.
c. the children are not confused.
d. the only person "suffering" as a result of Mother's
relationship with James Mardis is Father.
14. Mother believes and therefore avers that James Mardis is a good person and a
positive role model who has much to offer both Brock and Marissa.
15. Although Mother agreed initially to the restriction on Mr. Mardis' contacts with
Brock, she now believes that this was ill-advised and has served only to reinforce Father's
negative attitude.
16. Mother believes and therefore avers that the parties, the children, and Mr. Mardis
should submit to a custody evaluation to address these issues in advance of trial.
17. Mother believes and therefore avers that an assessment by an independent custody
evaluator will:
3

~ - ~)I
a. confirm Father's misguided attempts to influence the
children negatively against Mother and Mr. Mardis.
b. put to rest Father's allegations that the children are harmed
by Mother's relationship with her future husband.
Wherefore, Counterclaim Plaintiff requests the court to direct the parties to secure a
custody evaluation in advance of trial, with the costs of the evaluation to be shared by the parties
on a pro-rata basis according to their income levels.

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE ~TH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3~8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Children who are the subjects of this litigation is
as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
BrockM. Warner
Marissa K. Warner
September 12, 1987
June 10, 1990
Father
Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on August 1,2002, with the following individuals in
attendance: The Mother, Shirley G. Warner, with her counsel, Theresa Barrett Male, Esquire, and the
Father, Michael R. Warner, with his counsel, Kristen R. Reinhold, Esquire.
3. The Father filed this Petition for Modification requesting primary custody of the parties'
daughter, Marissa. The parties agreed to attempt to resolve the issues addressed by the Father and
additionaI concerns raised by the Mother through the custody evaluation process. The parties were not
able to agree on mutual requests for interim modification to the existing Order pending the completion
of the evaluation. Therefore, the prior Order dated August 16,2001 will continue in effect. Paragraph
6 of that Order provides that"... the Mother shall ensure that James Mardis is not present during the
Mother's periods of custody with Brock." The parties initially agreed to this provision based on the
Child's opposition to having any contact with James Mardis. The Father is not willing to compel
Brock to have contact with Mr. Mardis although the Father does not have any personal objection to the
contact if Brock is willing. As discussed at the Conference, in the event Brock indicates his
willingness to spend time with Mr. Mardis, the Father agreed not to withhold his consent. However,
initiation of the contact should be accomplished through discussion and agreement between the parties
-

as provided in the August 16,2001 Order to prevent either a misunderstanding between the parties or
excessive responsibility on the Child's part.
4. The parties agreed to entry of an Order in the form as attached.

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 Children who are the subjects of this litigation is
as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
BrockM. Warner
Marissa K. Warner
September 12, 1987
June 10, 1990
Father
Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on September 11, 2002, with the following individuals
in attendance: The Mother, Shirley G. Warner, with her counsel, Theresa Barrett Male, Esquire, and
the Father, Michael R. Warner, with his counsel, Kristen R. Reinhold, Esquire.
3. In early August 2002, this Court entered an Order following a Conciliation Conference
under which the parties shall submit themselves and their Children to a custody evaluation to be
performed by Arnold Shienvold, PhD. Due to Dr. Shienvold's full schedule, the evaluation will not
begin until November. The purpose of the evaluation is to obtain reco=endations concerning
ongoing custody arrangements as the Father has filed a Petition for primary custody of the parties'
daughter, Marissa, who currently lives with the Mother. The parties' son, Brock, presently resides
with the Father.
Following entry of the August 2002 Order, an issue arose with respect to Marissa's school
enrollment. The Mother believes that it would be best to transfer the Child to the Cwnberland Valley
School District and the Father believes the Child should remain in Bible Baptist School, where she has
been enrolled in prior years. Counsel for the parties confirmed that the parties had reached an interim
agreement that the Child would attend Bible Baptist School which eliminated the need for a
.
I b~L~~~_,
_0___
':Bi';t,~,
...
.
Conference prior to the first day of school. However, as Marissa did not attend school on the first day
and was taken by the Mother to public school in the Cumberland Valley District on the 2nd day, the
Father filed an Emergency Petition. After speaking with the Child, the Court issued an Order dated
August 29, 2002 providing for the Child to continue enrollment in the Bible Baptist School.
4. After entry of the August 29, 2002 Order, as the Child had been marked tardy on several
days by the Bible Baptist School, the Father filed a Petition for a Conciliation Conference to discuss
the problem and prevent further disruption of the Child's school attendance pending the custody
evaluation. At the September II, 2002 Conference three alternatives to ensure the Child's timely
attendance at school were discussed, including the Child riding the bus, the Father picking up the Child
in the morning and transporting her to school, and the Mother adjusting the morning schedule to ensure
that the Child is on time. The Mother did not accept the Father's proposal to provide transportation
and indicated instead that she preferred to take the Child to school earlier than she had been in order to
avoid the traffic. The Father agreed, but indicated his intention to file an emergency interim request
for primary custody of Marissa pending completion of the evaluation in the event of further tardiness
to school or unexcused absences. The Mother provided her assurance at the Conference that she would
transport the Child to school on time.
The Father raised an additional concern at the Conference regarding the Mother's failure to
make Marissa available for church on Sunday morning as provided in the current Order. Although it
was understood by the parties that any enforcement issues concerning this provision would be
addressed at the September 26,2002 Conference scheduled on the Father's Petition for Contempt, the
parties agreed that clarification as to transportation was necessary. The parties agreed that the Mother
would drive Marissa to the Father's church during her weekend periods of custody unless otherwise
agreed between the parties.
5. The parties agreed to resolve the concerns raised at the Conference infonnally as described
in this Report without the necessity of an additionaI Order at this time. However, in the event the
Child continues to be late for school, it is anticipated that the Father will file a request directly with the
Court for an immediate transfer of primary custody of the parties' daughter, Marissa.
