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 THE CUSTODY OF
Kyle Bush May 21, 1994
Father
2. The third Custody Conciliation Conference was held on September 10, 2004
subsequent to Mother's filing a Petition to Modify Custody on July 30, 2004. Present for the
conference were the Mother, Deborah Hadley and her counsel, Timothy O'Connell, Esquire;
the Father, Gerald K. Bush attended pro se. However, Father indicates that he plans to
retain counsel for the hearing regarding the Summer partial custody schedule.
3. The parties reached an agreement with regard to the school year schedule for
2004/2005. However, the parties were not able to resolve the issue of the Summer
schedule for the years 2005 going forward until the Summer after the child completes eighth
grade.
4. Mother's Dosition on custodv is as
fnlln
Mother has determined to withdraw her request for rims It is first important to note that
However, she reserves the right to pursue that modification a
physical t some point in thelfuture.
While Mother recognizes the positive role that organized sports can play for children, she
believes that the child's sports schedule should not be determinative of her summer periods
of custody. She believes this is especially true because of the limitations placed on her
partial custody scheduled by reason of her residence in Massachusetts.;
until the child is entering high school, the Summer baseball schedule hou dhbe su'bo dinate
to custodial time for the child with his Mother. Mother also believes that there is a value of
the experience of parenting the child for longer continuous blocks of time during the
summer, that is not available when the blocks of time are interrupted as in Father's
proposal.
NO. 03-2132 CIVIL TERM
5. Father's position on the Summer schedule is as follows: Father would like to
first consider the child's all-star baseball schedule in arranging the schedule of sharing time
for the Summer. He proposes that Mother have approximately two (2) weeks at the
beginning of the Summer, followed by three (3) weeks with Father, followed by
approximately five and a half (5%) weeks with Father.
6. Because the parties have not reached an agreement with regard to the
Summer schedule and because this is likely to be a recurrent issue for them, the Conciliator
recommended to the parties that we put in place the agreement which they worked diligently
to complete for the 2004/2005 school year, and arrange a hearing before Judge Oler to
resolve the Summer custodial schedule for the Summers 2005 going forward. By the
parties' mutual agreement, the rule which the Court imposes will be in place until the
Summer prior to the child's entry into high school. To the parties' credit, their ability to work
cooperatively in setting the school year custody calendar has improved significantly over the
period of three conciliations.

RE: Deborah Hadley vs. Gerald K. Bush
No. 03-2132
Dear Judge Oler:
Gerald Bush has asked me to represent him in the above custody action,
which is scheduled for a hearing before you at 10:00 a.m. on 29 October 2004.
Unfortunately, 1 am not available at that time because of a prior commitment and f
write to request that the hearing be rescheduled.
I do not believe postponing the hearing will present much of a problem, as
the parties have worked out their custody schedule through May of 2005 and the
purpose of this hearing is to address a schedule for next summer. I have sent a
copy of this letter to Timothy O'Connell, Esquire, who represents the Plaintiff and I
expect we will hear from him shortly if he opposes my request for a postponement.
Sincerely,
Samue L. Andes

5. Mother will select one of two "floater weekends". The identified weekends are
December 16, 2005 through December 19, 2005 or April 27, 2006 through April 30, 2006.
Mother may select one weekend. However, her exercise of these weekends is contingent
upon Kyle's grades being at least second honors level and upon his most recent progress
report containing no negative academic comments. This contingency is in place by mutual
agreement of the parents because either of the two floating weekend times which Mother
would select would necessitate Kyle being absent on a school day.
6. This Order replaces prior Orders of Custody issued in this matter.

§5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and information pertaining to the child
including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school records, the residence

--April 12, 2006 through April 17, 2006

3. For the summer 2006, the parties will observe the following schedule:
Father will have custody from June 10, 2006 through June 17, 2006

5. Mother will select one of two "floater weekends". The identified weekends are
December 16, 2005 through December 19, 2005 or April 27, 2006 through April 30, 2006.

upon Kyle's grades being at least second honors level and upon his most recent progress
report containing no negative academic comments. This contingency is in place by mutual
agreement of the parents because either of the two floating weekend times which Mother
would select would necessitate Kyle being absent on a school day.
6. This Order replaces prior Orders of Custody issued in this matter.

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
TO MAINTAIN COURT ORDERED STATUS QUO
PENDING RESOLUTION OF MODIFICATION PETITION
AND NOW comes the Petitioner, Gerald K. Bush, pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1915.13 and
petitions the Honorable Court as follows:
1. The Petitioner is Gerald K. Bush, who currently resides at 4 Hunter Lane, Camp
Hill, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. The Respondent is Emma Hadley, who currently resides at 9609 Wellington
Street, Lanham, Maryland, 20706.
3. The Petitioner is the natural father of the minor child, Kyle Bush, born May 21,
1994.
4. The Respondent is the natural mother of the aforementioned minor child.
5. On or about Labor Day, 1999, the Respondent/Mother deserted the then marital
residence, having entered into an adulterous relationship with her then Episcopalian Priest,
Constance Reinhardt.
6. The Petitioner and Respondent were divorced from the bonds of matrimony by the
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County in October 2002.
7. It is believed and, therefore averred, that the Respondent has entered into a same
sex union with Constance Reinhardt by way of a ceremony in the State of Massachusetts, and
now resides with Constance Reinhardt at the aforementioned residence in Lanham, Maryland.
8. Since the separation in 1999, the Petitioner/Father has had primary physical
custody of the minor child, Kyle.
9. On June 15, 2003, an Order was entered by this Honorable Court, granting the
parties shared legal custody and primary physical custody to Petitioner/Father, with
Respondent/Mother to have visitation in the summers and limited vacation visitation. A copy of
the Order is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "A".
10. On November 18, 2005, an Order was entered by this Honorable Court which did
replace the prior Orders of Custody, and which did provide for shared legal custody and primary
physical custody to Father, with Mother to have partial summer visitation as well as ten weekend
visits from November 2005 through May of 2006. A copy of the Order is attached hereto and
marked as Exhibit "B".
11. The minor child, Kyle Bush, is an exceptional student in the East Pennsboro
School District, where he routinely receives "A" letter grades in academics.
12. The minor child, Kyle Bush, is very active in sports, particularly in baseball and
soccer, in both the school district as well as travel teams.
13. The minor child's Petitioner/Father, as well as his step-mother, the spouse of
Petitioner/Father, are extremely supportive of the minor child's sports and academic endeavors,
which endeavors are also bolstered by the minor child's 18 year old step-sister, who resides with
him in his home in Camp Hill.
14. On or about Friday, October 10, 2008, the Petitioner/Father did meet the
Respondent/Mother at their normal meeting place in Hereford, Maryland, to transfer the child for
a weekend visit with Mother in Lanham, Maryland, which weekend was scheduled to end on the
evening of Monday, October 13th (given the Columbus Day holiday).
15. In the late afternoon of Monday, October 13, 2008, the Petitioner/Father received
a phone call informing him that the child was not being returned, but rather was being kept at the
residence in Lanham, Maryland, and enrolled in a private Catholic school, namely, DeMatha
High School, located in Hyattsville, Maryland.
16. Mother's action in keeping the minor child is violative of the existing Court Order
dated November 18, 2005.
17. Subsequent to Mother's wrongful withholding, it is believed, and therefore
averred, that she did file a Petition to Modify the existing Order, which filing is believed, and
therefore averred, to have been made pro se.
18. It is believed, and therefore averred, that the Respondent/Mother has gathered the
school records from the East Pennsboro School District of the minor child, and does intend to
enroll the child in the aforementioned private school, DeMatha High School, starting Monday,
October 20, 2008.
19. It is believed, and therefore averred, that the Respondent/Mother is employed as a
school teacher approximately one hour from her home and is unable to provide transportation to
and from the DeMatha High School for the child, but rather intends to rely upon public
transportation or the like.
20. The wrongful withholding of the child and the unilateral decision by
Respondent/Mother to transfer the child from the East Pennsboro High School, where he is
thriving, to an unknown environment in the Washington, DC, area is believed, and therefore
averred, to be not in the child's best interest, but rather contrary to the health, safety and welfare
of the child.
21. Mother's unilateral withholding of the child and removal of the child out of state
is violative of the existing Order relating to physical custody, and her decision making is also
violative of the shared legal custody provisions of the existing Order.
22. If the minor child is not immediately returned to Father's physical custody, as per
the existing Custody Order, the child faces the possibility of irreparable harm due to the
interruption of his education and school year activities.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner/Father respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant
the Petition for Special Relief, and to enter an Order compelling the Respondent/Mother to
immediately return the minor child to the jurisdiction of this Court and direct that, after the
return, the child not be removed from the jurisdiction, pending a full evidentiary hearing on the
pending Modification Petition.

plays baseball. Counsel and their parties are to work on a stipulation addressing these
NO. 03-2132 CIVIL TERM
issues which shall be filed with the Court by July 9, 2003. In the event that the parties are
not able to resolve the remaining issues by stipulation, counsel for either party may make a

report containing no negative academic comments. This contingency is in place by mutual
agreement of the parents because either of the two floating weekend times which Mother
would select would necessitate Kyle being absent on a school day.
6. This Order replaces prior Orders of Custody issued in this matter.

PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF EMERGENCY TEMPORARY
CUSTODY
AND NOW, comes the Petitioner, Emma D. Hadley, formerly known as Deborah
Hadley, hereinafter "Petitioner" by and through her counsel, Derek J. Cordier, Esquire
and files this Petition for Special Relief Emergency Petition for Temporary Physical
Custody, and in support thereof avers the following:
1. The Petitioner is Emma D. Hadley, who is the Mother of Kyle Andrew Bush, age 14,
born May 24, 1994, hereinafter "Child."
2. Petitioner and Child are currently residing at 9609 Wellington Street, Lanham,
Maryland, 20706; in their home resides Petitioner's life-partner, the Child's older brother
and his wife and their three year old child who have very close relationships with the
Child.
3. The Respondent is Gerald K. Bush, who is the Father of the Child and resides at 4
Hunter Lane, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, 17011.
2
4. The Court of Common Pleas, Cumberland County, has jurisdiction over the custody of
the Child.
5. Petitioner owns a home, resides with her long-term significant other who is an
Episcopal minister, has a PhD in education technology and communication and is
employed by Charles County School District.
6. Respondent has been remarried since 2002, however, his wife has very serious drug
addiction issues that have resulted in recent arrests in three Pennsylvania counties, over
the past year the Respondent's home has had its water and telephone shut off due to
nonpayment, and Respondent's wife has a daughter residing with them who has
significant mental health problems.
7. Petitioner, in the best interest of the Child, seeks emergency temporary physical
custody of the Child and modification of the current Custody Order dated November 18`h
2005. (Attached)
8. Respondent has been verbally and emotionally abusive toward the Child and currently
the Child fears for his own physical safety due to Respondent's uncontrolled temper.
9. A summary of the Petitioner's and the Child's repeated attempts to act in the Child's
best interest are as follows:
Winter and Spring of 2007: The Child applied to and was accepted at DeMatha
High School, which is a prestigious private boys prep school in Maryland, which is
nationally recognized for their academic, sports, and music programs. Classes at
DeMatha are very small which allows for significant individualized attention. The Child
would also have a much better opportunity to achieve his goal of playing baseball for a
division I college or university. Unfortunately, at that time the Child did not accept the
admission because he was afraid of Respondent's reaction.
Sunday, October 5, 2008: The Child telephoned the Petitioner and requested to
change custody and allow him to move with Petitioner and her life partner and attend
DeMatha High School. The Child expressed to Petitioner that his situation at
Respondent's home had become unbearable and he needed to move for his own
emotional safety. The Child also indicated that his current school was boring and
unchallenging, and that in his current situation he did not believe that he was in an
environment that would support him and his goals to attend a top university and play
division I baseball.
Monday, October 6, 2008: Petitioner contacted DeMatha High School and
inquired as to whether transferring the Child was a possibility. At that time, the Child's
application was given the opportunity to be reviewed and another interview occurred on
Monday, October 13, 2008, as it was a holiday for the Child.
Tuesday,, Oct 7, 2008: The Child initiated a conversation with Respondent
regarding moving in with Petitioner and attending DeMatha High School. Without any
reasoning whatsoever, the Respondent simply showed signs of anger, and stated that
he would not allow the Child to transfer. The Child then stated that he did not understand
why the Respondent would find an environment that forced him to reside with familial
relations who have a history of addiction, pending criminal charges, and significant
mental health issues would be conducive to the Child's well-being.
Wednesday, October 8, 2008: Petitioner attempted to telephone Respondent and
Respondent again became verbally abusive and hung up the phone indicating that he
would not allow the Child to move.
Thursday, October 9, 2008: The Child again attempted to talk to Respondent.
Respondent became more verbally abusive toward the Child and, again without reason
and in a controlling manner indicated that he would not allow the Child to move.
Friday, October 10, 2008: No contact between any of the parties.
Saturday, October 11, 2008: Petitioner drove to Pennsylvania to watch the Child
play soccer. On the drive back to Maryland the Child again indicated that he did not feel
safe in the custody of Respondent as the Respondent's temper was getting more volatile.
The Child also reiterated that East Penn was not preparing him for college and the sports
program was not competitive enough. The Child in his own well reasoned opinion
believes that DeMatha High School would be a much better fit. Finally, the Child
literally begged Petitioner not to send him back to the custody of Respondent. The Child
was clearly under a very high degree of emotional stress.
Sunday October 12, 2008: Another attempt was made through the use of a
conference call between the Child, Petitioner, the Child's older brother, Jeremy, and
Respondent. An attempt was made at explaining the Child's needs and his wishes with
an attempt to persuade the Respondent to support the Child's intelligent decision. Once
again, Respondent immediately became verbally abusive to all of the other parties on the
conference call. The Petitioner eventually requested to speak with Respondent one-on-
one. Petitioner requested that Respondent attempt to support the Child's well reasoned
opinion along with Petitioner and the Child's older sibling's opinions as to what is in the
5
best interest of the Child. Also, and of significant importance, the Petitioner indicated
that DeMatha High School had stated that they would not give the Child another
opportunity at entrance - the Child had to either transfer now, or not at all. Respondent
simply countered with "then I guess it will be not at all." On this date the Child also
indicated to Petitioner that the Child did not feel physically or emotionally safe in
Respondent's house and that the Child was adamant that he does not want to return to the
Respondents household.
Monday, October 13, 2008: The Child met with the admissions director at
DeMatha High School and is now even more adamant about what he wants for his future.
The Child then suggested that they attempt to speak with the Respondent one more time
so as to circumvent court. Shortly thereafter, the Child received confirmation that he had
been accepted as a transfer student to DeMatha High School. At that point the Child
telephoned the Respondent and Respondent's wife. Neither adult was willing to even
listen to the Child's opinion. Further, Respondent and his wife threatened him with
"punishments" such as turning of the Child's telephone. Among other tactics,
Respondent and his wife also berated the Child and attempted to use guilt as a
mechanism to make the Child change his mind. After close to two hours on the phone
the Respondent and his wife simply hung up on the Child.
Tuesday, October 14, 2008: The Child's cell phone is now disconnected, which
will limit the Petitioner's and the Child's communication and shortly thereafter, the
Petitioner drove to Cumberland County Pennsylvania to file for Custody Modification
and Emergency Custody, and as time was of the essence attempted to do so pro se. The
6
Child again reiterated his wishes and also recognizes that the Respondent has
considerably damaged their already strained relationship.
Wednesday, Oct 15: Respondent threatens Petitioner with immediate arrest and
the filing of contempt charges if the Child is not returned.
10. There are no allegations of physical abuse or neglect of the Child or between the
parties in this case. However, the Respondent has serious anger control issues, is a heavy
"social drinker" and it is believed and averred that the Respondent utilizes emotionally
abusive means to control the Child and the Petitioner.
11. The Child is 14 years old and has above average intelligence and maturity, his well
reasoned opinions as to altering his own custody include a brighter future academically, a
healthy environment that will allow him to thrive emotionally and physically, the ability
to pursue his potential in the sport of baseball, and unlimited opportunities to excel.
12. The Child's living arrangement with the Respondent is unstable at best and there are
issues of drug abuse, criminal activity and prosecution in connection with the drug abuse
by Respondent's wife, and a seriously emotionally disturbed stepsister all residing
together.
13. The Child has been attending East Pennsboro High School, where the Child feels
stifled, unchallenging, and too much time is spent on disciplining other students rather
than academics. Further, the Child wishes to be involved with music, however is
uncomfortable doing so at East Pennsboro.
14. The Child is also enrolled at the top ranking DeMartha High School and is scheduled
to begin on Monday the 20th of October, 2008, which is the reason that the requested
7
Order is emergent in nature, as DeMartha High School has stated that the current
admission will be the Child's last.
15. It is believed and averred that Respondent is not responding to the best interest of the
Child and in fact cares more for the child support he will lose if primary physical custody
is awarded to Petitioner.
16. Petitioner fears for the emotional and physical wellbeing of the Child and is seeking
primary physical custody of the Child and a Court Order allowing the Child to attend
DeMartha High School beginning October 20th, 2008, which are both clearly in the best
interest of the Child.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
grant the Petitioner's request for primary physical custody of the Child, and Order that
the Child may attend DeMartha High School beginning Monday the 20th of October,
2008, with a conciliation conference and/or custody trial to occur thereafter.

Defendant
OLER, J. ---
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this / day of November, 2005, upon consideration of the
attached Custody Conciliation Summary Report, it is hereby ordered and directed as
follows:
1. Legal Custody. The parties, Deborah Hadley and Gerald K. Bush, shall have
shared legal custody of the minor child, Kyle Bush, born May 21, 1994. Each parent shall
have an equal right, to be exercised jointly with the other parent, to make all major non-
emergency decisions affecting the child's general well-being including, but not limited to, all
decisions regarding his health, education and religion. Pursuant to the terms of Pa. C. S.
§5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and information pertaining to the child
including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school records, the residence
address of the child and of the other parent. To the extent one parent has possession of
any such records or information, that parent shall be required to share the same, or copies
thereof, with the other parent within such reasonable time as to make the records and
information of reasonable use to the other parent.
2. Physical Custody. Father shall have primary physical custody. Mother shall
have custody for the following weekends during the 200512006 school year:
November 4, 2005 through November 6, 2005
November 26, 2005 through November 29, 2005
December 26, 2005 through January 22, 2006
January 13, 2005 through January 16, 2006
February 16, 2006 through February 20, 2006
- March 3, 2006 through March 6, 2006
March 24, 2006 through March 26, 2006
April 12, 2006 through April 17, 2006
May 12, 2006 through May 14, 2006
May 26, 2006 through May 29, 2006
NO. 03-2132 CIVIL TERM
3. For the summer 2006, the parties will observe the following schedule:
Father will have custody from June 10, 2006 through June 17, 2006
(travel day June 17); July 13, 2006 through July 20, 2006 (travel days July
13 and July 20); and from August 11, 2006 through the beginning of the
school year (travel day August 11, 2006).
Mother will have custody from June 17, 2006 through July 13, 2006
and July 20, 2006 through August 11, 2006.
4. Mother will have a weekend period of custody in the spring 2006 on a
weekend when Kyle is playing baseball, which weekend will be exercised by Mother coming
to Harrisburg rather than by Kyle flying to Boston. This weekend will be selected after the
baseball schedule is posted in the spring.
5. Mother will select one of two "floater weekends". The identified weekends are
December 16, 2005 through December 19, 2005 or April 27, 2006 through April 30, 2006.
Mother may select one weekend. However, her exercise of these weekends is contingent
upon Kyle's grades being at least second honors level and upon his most recent progress
report containing no negative academic comments. This contingency is in place by mutual
agreement of the parents because either of the two floating weekend times which Mother
would select would necessitate Kyle being absent on a school day.
6. This Order replaces prior Orders of Custody issued in this matter.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN CUSTODY
ANSWER TO
"PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF EMERGENCY TEMPORARY CUSTODY"
AND NOW, comes the Respondent/Father, Gerald K. Bush, hereinafter referred to as
"Father", by and through his legal counsel, John F. King, Esq., Friedman & King, P.C., and files
his answer to the Petition for Special Relief filed by Petitioner/Mother, Emma D. Hadley,
hereinafter referred to as "Mother", and in support thereof avers the following:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted and, by way of further answer, it is averred that the subject child, Kyle
Andrew Bush, born May 24, 1994, hereinafter referred to as "Child", is residing at Mother's
residence in violation of the current Court Order issued by this Honorable Court dated November
18, 2005, and as the result of Mother's unilateral, contemptuous actions.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Father is without sufficient information to determine the veracity of the
allegations contained in paragraph 5 which are, therefore, denied and proof thereof is demanded.
6. It is admitted that Father is remarried. The remaining averments contained in
paragraph 6 are denied. By way of further answer, Father's Wife previously suffered from a
prescription drug dependency resulting in two arrests, which have been adjudicated and resulted
in Wife being successfully enrolled in rehabilitation counseling. It is further averred that Father's
home suffered a one day utility interruption during his Wife's unemployment. She is now re-
employed and bill paying is back on a regular schedule. It is further averred that Father's step
daughter is a 23 year old woman who has a close relationship with the subject Child, and does
not suffer from significant mental health problems.
7. Admitted and, by way of further answer, it is averred that Mother wrongfully
withheld the Child in contempt of the current Order, during the last agreed-to visit with Mother
on the long weekend of Saturday, October 11-13, 2008.
8. It is specifically denied that Father has been verbally and emotionally abusive
toward the Child. It is specifically denied that Father has an uncontrolled temper. It is further
averred that the Child has no reason to fear for his physical safety, given the total lack of any
physical abuse whatsoever on the part of Father.
9. The averments contained in paragraph 9 are generally denied, pursuant to
Pa.R.C.P. 1920.14. By way of further answer, Father believes, and therefore avers, that DeMatha
High School is a private institution with an annual tuition of approximately $12,000.00. It is
further averred that, despite the fact that Father has had primary physical custody of the subject
Child since 1999, when Mother deserted the family with her same sex lover, and despite the fact
that the parties enjoy Court-ordered shared legal custody, Mother unilaterally, despite Father's
protests, did withhold the Child and enroll him in a private prep school in the Washington, DC,
area. It is further averred that this occurred approximately seven weeks into the new school year,
at great detriment to the Child. It is further averred that the Child missed a full week of school
and, at the time that he was unilaterally taken from his classes at East Pennsboro, he was
enjoying an exceptional grade average of approximately 3.7/4.0. It is further averred that the
subject Child is 14 years of age, and is without the ability to unilaterally determine what is in his
best interests in this particular regard.
10. It is certainly admitted that there are no allegations of physical abuse or neglect, in
that none exists. It is specifically denied that Father has serious anger control issues. It is
specifically denied that Father is a "heavy social drinker". By way of further answer, it is averred
that Father has no anger control issues and no drinking issues whatsoever. It is also specifically
denied that Father utilizes any emotionally abusive means to control the Child and the Mother.
By way of further answer, it is averred that Father has no ability whatsoever to control Petitioner
Mothe,r as evidenced by her unilateral decision to act in contempt of the Court's Order.
11. It is admitted that the subject child is of above-average intelligence and enjoys a
good athletic ability. It is denied that the Child in any way has the ability to unilaterally
determine what is in his own best interest in this particular regard.
12. The averments contained in paragraph 12 are denied. By way of further answer, it
is averred that the only instability in the Child's living arrangement with Father has been caused
by Mother's contemptuous actions as related above. It is further averred that the past
prescription drug dependency on the part of the Child's stepmother does not threaten the Child's
well-being. It is further averred that the allegations of a "seriously emotionally disturbed
stepsister" are a fabrication designed to bolster and justify the contemptuous actions of Mother.
13. The averments contained in paragraph 13 are generally denied, pursuant to
Pa.R.C.P. 1920.14.
14. Father is without sufficient information to determine the veracity of the
allegations contained in paragraph 14 which are, therefore, denied and proof thereof is
demanded.
15. It is specifically denied that Father is in any way motivated by the receipt of child
support payments and proof, therefore, is demanded. It is further averred that this spurious
allegation is made solely for the purposes of bolstering and justifying Mother's contemptuous
actions. By way of further answer, and contrary to a Domestic Relations Child Support Order,
Father has not received a support payment from Mother since August 25, 2008, and arrearages
stand at approximately $1,206.00. By way of further answer, it is believed, and therefore
averred, that Mother is pursuing this action in order to avoid an increase in support and payment
of the significant arrearages.
16. The averments contained in paragraph 16 are generally denied, pursuant to
Pa.R.C.P. 1920.14. By way of further answer, it is believed, and therefore averred, that Mother's
contemptuous and wrongful actions in unilaterally withholding and enrolling this Child are
contrary to the Child's emotional well-being. It is further averred that Mother has made no
allegations which would support any concern regarding the physical well-being of the Child. It is
further averred that since Mother's wrongful withholding of the Child on October 10, 2008, she
has denied Father's requests to be allowed to visit with the Child, and has further refused to
allow the Child to participate in a baseball tournament which he was scheduled to attend during
the weekend of October 18, 2008, to the detriment and harm of the Child's well-being.
WHEREFORE, the Father respectfully requests this Honorable Court to enter an Order
compelling the Mother to immediately return the minor Child to the jurisdiction of this Court and
direct that, after the return, the Child not be removed from the jurisdiction, pending a full
evidentiary hearing on the pending Modification Petition filed by Mother.

6. Since the separation in 1999, the Petitioner/Father enjoyed shared legal and
primary physical custody of the minor child, Kyle, until Monday, October 13, 2008, on which
date the Petitioner/Father was informed that the Respondent/Mother was wrongfully keeping the
subject minor child at her residence in Lanham, Maryland, in violation of the then existing Court
Order.
7. The aforementioned existing Court Order was dated November 18, 2005, and is
attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "A".
8. Mother's wrongful actions in violation of the Court Order are as follows:
A. Respondent/Mother is in violation of paragraph "1" of the Order of Court
of November 18, 2005, which states in part that "the parties, Deborah
Hadley and Gerald K. Bush, shall have shared legal custody of the minor
child, Kyle Bush, born May 21, 2994. Each parent shall have an equal
right, to be exercised jointly with the other parent, to make all major non-

not limited to, all decisions regarding his health, education, and religion."
B. Respondent/Mother is in violation of paragraph "2" of the existing Order
which states in part "Father shall have primary physical custody."
C. Respondent/Mother is in violation of the current Order by unilaterally
disrupting the child's education by way of her wrongful decision to enroll
the child in a private school in the Washington DC suburbs, contrary to
primary custodian Father's wishes, thereby causing the child to miss one
week of school.
9. As a result of Mother's aforementioned unilateral actions, which were in violation
of this Honorable Court's Order dated November 18, 2005, Petitioner/Father was forced to file
an Emergency Petition for Special Relief, which Petition was filed on October 16, 2008, at 3:20
PM. A copy of said Petition is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
10. Subsequent to the Respondent/Mother's wrongful actions, Respondent/Mother did

Temporary Custody, which Petition was filed after Petitioner/Father's filing. A copy of said
Petition is attached hereto as Exhibit "C".
11. As a result of Respondent/Mother's wrongful actions, the Petitioner/Father was
forced to incur attorney fees, costs and expenses in enforcing his rights under the Court Order
dated November 18, 2005, which did grant him shared legal custody and primary physical
custody of the subject minor child, which primary physical custody he had enjoyed since the
parties' separation on or about Labor Day, 1999, in the amount of $3,130.75. See copy of
invoice attached as Exhibit "D".

after a hearing, the Honorable Judge Oler did issue a Temporary Order of Court in which he
ordered in part, as follows: "3. Nothing herein is intended to preclude Defendant from filing a
petition for contempt in connection with Plaintiff s recent unilateral relocation of the child to
Maryland." A copy of said Temporary Order is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "F"
15. The Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr. has ruled on issues in this case.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests Your Honorable Court to grant the
following relief:
A. Find Respondent/Mother in contempt of Court for her failure to comply with the
terms of this Honorable Court's Order dated November 18, 2005;
B. Issue an Order compelling Respondent/Mother to immediately pay over to

Defendant
OLER, J. --
Q ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this U day of November, 2005, upon consideration of the
attached Custody Conciliation Summary Report, it is hereby ordered and directed as
follows:
1. Legal Custody. The parties, Deborah Hadley and Gerald K. Bush, shall have
shared legal custody of the minor child, Kyle Bush, bom May 21, 1994. Each parent shall
have an equal right; to be exercised jointly with the other parent, to make all major non-
emergency decisions affecting the child's general well-being including, but not limited to, all
decisions regarding his health, education and religion. Pursuant to the terms of Pa. C. S.
§5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and information pertaining to the child
including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school records, the residence
address of the child and of the other parent. To the extent one parent has possession of
any such records or information, that parent shall be required to share the same, or copies
thereof, with the other parent within such reasonable time as to make the records and
information of reasonable use to the other parent.
_. 2. Physical Custody. Father shall have primary physical custody. Mother shall
have custody for the following weekends during the 2005/2006 school year:
November 4, 2005 through November 6, 2005
November 26, 2005 through November 29, 2005
December 26, 2005 through January 22, 2006
January 13, 2005 through January 16, 2006
February 16, 2006 through February 20, 2006
- March 3, 2006 through March 6, 2006
March 24, 2006 through March 26, 2006
-April 12, 2006 through April 17, 2006
May 12, 2006 through May 14, 2006
May 26, 2006 through May 29, 2006
NO. 03-2132 CIVIL TERM
3. For the summer 2006, the parties will observe the following schedule:
Father will have custody from June 10, 2006 through June 17, 2006
(travel day June 17); July 13, 2006 through July 20, 2006 (travel days July
13 and July 20); and from August 11, 2006 through the beginning of the
school year (travel day August 11, 2006).
Mother will have custody from June 17, 2006 through July. 13, 2006
and July 20, 2006 through August. 11, 2006.
4. Mother will have a weekend period of custody in the spring 2006 on a
weekend when Kyle is playing baseball, which weekend will be exercised by Mother coming
to Harrisburg rather than by Kyle flying to Boston. This weekend will be selected after the
baseball schedule is posted in the spring.
5. Mother will select one of two "floater weekends". The identified weekends are
December 16, 2005 through December 19, 2005 or April 27, 2006 through April 30, 2006.
Mother may select one weekend. However, her exercise of these weekends is contingent
upon Kyle's grades being at least second honors level and upon his most recent progress
report containing no negative academic comments. This contingency is in place by mutual
agreement of the parents because either of the two floating weekend times which Mother
would select would necessitate Kyle being absent on a school day.
6. This Order replaces prior Orders of Custody issued in this matter.

residence in Lanham, Maryland, and enrolled in a private Catholic school, namely, DeMatha
High School, located in Hyattsville, Maryland.
16. Mother's action in keeping the minor child is violative of the existing Court Order
dated November 18, 2005.
17. Subsequent to Mother's wrongful withholding, it is believed, and therefore
averred, that she did file a Petition to Modify the existing Order, which filing is believed, and
therefore averred, to have been made ro se.
18. It is believed, and therefore averred, that the Respondent/Mother has gathered the
school records from the East Pennsboro School District of the minor child, and does intend to
enroll the child in the aforementioned private school, DeMatha High School, starting Monday,
October 20, 2008.
19. It is believed, and therefore averred, that the Respondent/Mother is employed as a
school teacher approximately one hour from her home and is unable to provide transportation to
and from the DeMatha High School for the child, but rather intends to rely upon public
transportation or the like.
20. The wrongful withholding of the child and the unilateral decision by
Respondent/Mother to transfer the child from the East Pennsboro High School, where he is
thriving, to an unknown environment in the Washington, DC, area is believed, and therefore
averred, to be not in the child's best interest, but rather contrary to the health, safety and welfare
of the child.
21. Mother's unilateral withholding of the child and removal of the child out of state
is violative of the existing Order relating to physical custody, and her decision making is also
violative of the shared legal custody provisions of the existing Order.
22. If the minor child is not immediately returned to Father's physical custody, as per
the existing Custody Order, the child faces the possibility of irreparable harm due to the
interruption of his education and school year activities.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner/Father respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant
the Petition for Special Relief, and to enter an Order compelling the Respondent/Mother to
immediately return the minor child to the jurisdiction of this Court and direct that, after the
return, the child not be removed from the jurisdiction, pending a full evidentiary hearing on the
pending Modification Petition.

DEBORAH HADLEY,
Petitioner

No. 03-2132
CIVIL ACTION -LAW
GERALD K. BUSH,
Respondent
: CUSTODY
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF EMERGENCY TEMPORARY
CUSTODY
AND NOW, comes the Petitioner, Emma D. Hadley, formerly known as Deborah
Hadley, hereinafter "Petitioner" by and through her counsel, Derek J. Cordier, Esquire
and files this Petition for Special Relief Emergency Petition for Temporary Physical
Custody, and in support thereof avers the following:
1. The Petitioner is Emma D. Hadley, who is the Mother of Kyle Andrew Bush, age 14,
born May 24, 1994, hereinafter "Child."
2. Petitioner and Child are currently residing at 9609 Wellington Street, Lanham,
Maryland, 20706; in their home resides Petitioner's life-partner, the Child's older brother
and his wife and their three year old child who have very close relationships with the
Child.
3. The Respondent is Gerald K. Bush, who is the Father of the Child and resides at 4
Hunter Lane, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, 17011.
2
4. The Court of Common Pleas, Cumberland County, has jurisdiction over the custody of
the Child.
5. Petitioner owns a home, resides with her long-term significant other who is an
Episcopal minister, has a PhD in education technology and communication and is
employed by Charles County School District.
6. Respondent has been remarried since 2002, however, his wife has very serious drug
addiction issues that have resulted in recent arrests in three Pennsylvania counties, over
the past year the Respondent's home has had its water and telephone shut off due to
nonpayment, and Respondent's wife has a daughter residing with them who has
significant mental health problems.
7. Petitioner, in the best interest of the Child, seeks emergency temporary physical
custody of the Child and modification of the current Custody Order dated November 18`h
2005. (Attached)
8. Respondent has been verbally and emotionally abusive toward the Child and currently
the Child fears for his own physical safety due to Respondent's uncontrolled temper.
9. A summary of the Petitioner's and the Child's repeated attempts to act in the Child's
best interest are as follows:
Winter and Spring of 2007: The Child applied to and was accepted at DeMatha
High School, which is a prestigious private boys prep school in Maryland, which is
nationally recognized for their academic, sports, and music programs. Classes at
DeMatha are very small which allows for significant individualized attention. The Child
would also have a much better opportunity to achieve his goal of playing baseball for a
division I college or university. Unfortunately, at that time the Child did not accept the
admission because he was afraid of Respondent's reaction.
Sunday, October 5, 2008: The Child telephoned the Petitioner and requested to
change custody and allow him to move with Petitioner and her life partner and attend
DeMatha High School. The Child expressed to Petitioner that his situation at
Respondent's home had become unbearable and he needed to move for his own
emotional safety. The Child also indicated that his current school was boring and
unchallenging, and that in his current situation he did not believe that he was in an
environment that would support him and his goals to attend a top university and play
division I baseball.
Monday, October 6, 2008: Petitioner contacted DeMatha High School and
inquired as to whether transferring the Child was a possibility. At that time, the Child's
application was given the opportunity to be reviewed and another interview occurred on
Monday, October 13, 2008, as it was a holiday for the Child.
Tuesday, Oct 7, 2008: The Child initiated a conversation with Respondent
regarding moving in with Petitioner and attending DeMatha High School. Without any
reasoning whatsoever, the Respondent simply showed signs of anger, and stated that
he would not allow the Child to transfer. The Child then stated that he did not understand
why the Respondent would find an environment that forced him to reside with familial
relations who have a history of addiction, pending criminal charges, and significant
mental health issues would be conducive to the Child's well-being.
4
Wednesday, October 8, 2008: Petitioner attempted to telephone Respondent and
Respondent again became verbally abusive and hung up the phone indicating that he
would not allow the Child to move.
Thursday, October 9, 2008: The Child again attempted to talk to Respondent.
Respondent became more verbally abusive toward the Child and, again without reason
and in a controlling manner indicated that he would not allow the Child to move.
Friday, October 10, 2008: No contact between any of the parties.
Saturday, October 11, 2008: Petitioner drove to Pennsylvania to watch the Child
play soccer. On the drive back to Maryland the Child again indicated that he did not feel
safe in the custody of Respondent as the Respondent's temper was getting more volatile.
The Child also reiterated that East Penn was not preparing him for college and the sports
program was not competitive enough. The Child in his own well reasoned opinion
believes that DeMatha High School would be a much better fit. Finally, the Child
literally begged Petitioner not to send him back to the custody of Respondent. The Child
was clearly under a very high degree of emotional stress.
Sunday October 12, 2008: Another attempt was made through the use of a
conference call between the Child, Petitioner, the Child's older brother, Jeremy, and
Respondent. An attempt was made at explaining the Child's needs and his wishes with
an attempt to persuade the Respondent to support the Child's intelligent decision. Once
again, Respondent immediately became verbally abusive to all of the other parties on the
conference call. The Petitioner eventually requested to speak with Respondent one-on-
one. Petitioner requested that Respondent attempt to support the Child's well reasoned
opinion along with Petitioner and the Child's older sibling's opinions as to what is in the
best interest of the Child. Also, and of significant importance, the Petitioner indicated
that DeMatha High School had stated that they would not give the Child another
opportunity at entrance - the Child had to either transfer now, or not at all. Respondent
simply countered with "then I guess it will be not at all." On this date the Child also
indicated to Petitioner that the Child did not feel physically or emotionally safe in
Respondent's house and that the Child was adamant that he does not want to return to the
Respondents household.
Monday, October 13, 2008: The Child met with the admissions director at
DeMatha High School and is now even more adamant about what he wants for his future.
The Child then suggested that they attempt to speak with the Respondent one more time
so as to circumvent court. Shortly thereafter, the Child received confirmation that he had
been accepted as a transfer student to DeMatha High School. At that point the Child
telephoned the Respondent and Respondent's wife. Neither adult was willing to even
listen to the Child's opinion. Further, Respondent and his wife threatened him with
"punishments" such as turning of the Child's telephone. Among other tactics,
Respondent and his wife also berated the Child and attempted to use guilt as a
mechanism to make the Child change his mind. After close to two hours on the phone
the Respondent and his wife simply hung up on the Child.
Tuesday, October 14, 2008: The Child's cell phone is now disconnected, which
will limit the Petitioner's and the Child's communication and shortly thereafter, the
Petitioner drove to Cumberland County Pennsylvania to file for Custody Modification
and Emergency Custody, and as time was of the essence attempted to do so pro se. The
6
Child again reiterated his wishes and also recognizes that the Respondent has
considerably damaged their already strained relationship.
Wednesday, Oct 15: Respondent threatens Petitioner with immediate arrest and
the filing of contempt charges if the Child is not returned.
10. There are no allegations of physical abuse or neglect of the Child or between the
parties in this case. However, the Respondent has serious anger control issues, is a heavy
"social drinker" and it is believed and averred that the Respondent utilizes emotionally
abusive means to control the Child and the Petitioner.
11. The Child is 14 years old and has above average intelligence and maturity, his well
reasoned opinions as to altering his own custody include a brighter future academically, a
healthy environment that will allow him to thrive emotionally and physically, the ability
to pursue his potential in the sport of baseball, and unlimited opportunities to excel.
12. The Child's living arrangement with the Respondent is unstable at best and there are
issues of drug abuse, criminal activity and prosecution in connection with the drug abuse
by Respondent's wife, and a seriously emotionally disturbed stepsister all residing
together.
13. The Child has been attending East Pennsboro High School, where the Child feels
stifled, unchallenging, and too much time is spent on disciplining other students rather
than academics. Further, the Child wishes to be involved with music, however is
uncomfortable doing so at East Pennsboro.
14. The Child is also enrolled at the top ranking DeMartha High School and is scheduled
to begin on Monday the 20`h of October, 2008, which is the reason that the requested
7
Order is emergent in nature, as DeMartha High School has stated that the current
admission will be the Child's last.
15. It is believed and averred that Respondent is not responding to the best interest of the
Child and in fact cares more for the child support he will lose if primary physical custody
is awarded to Petitioner.
16. Petitioner fears for the emotional and physical wellbeing of the Child and is seeking
primary physical custody of the Child and a Court Order allowing the Child to attend
DeMartha High School beginning October 20, 2008, which are both clearly in the best
interest of the Child.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
grant the Petitioner's request for primary physical custody of the Child, and Order that
the Child may attend DeMartha High School beginning Monday the 20`h of October,
2008, with a conciliation conference and/or custody trial to occur thereafter.

2003-2132 CIVIL ACTION LAW
IN CUSTODY
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
Kyle Bush May 21, 1994 Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on November 20, 2008, with the following
individuals in attendance: the Mother, Emma D. Hadley, with her counsel, Derek Cordier, Esquire,
and the Father, Gerald K. Bush, with his counsel, John F. King, Esquire.
3. This Court entered an Order on November 18, 2005, under which the Father had primary
physical custody of the Child. On October 28, 2008, the Court entered a temporary Order permitting
the Child to stay with the Mother until a custody conciliation conference could be held on the Mother's
Petition to Modify Custody and also indicated that nothing in the Order prevented the Father from
filing a Petition for Contempt. Therefore, both the Mother's Petition to Modify and the Father's
subsequently filed Petition for Contempt were the subjects of the conciliation conference on November
20, 2008.
4. Although the parties were able to reach an agreement as to the custody arrangements, at
least through May 2009 at the November conference, they were not able to fully resolve the Father's
Petition for Contempt. It was decided at the end of the conference that the conciliator would hold this
matter without filing a Report and Order to enable the parties to further discuss the issues and work on
finalizing a resolution. Subsequently, counsel for the parties notified the conciliator several times
since the November conciliation conference that the parties were working on an agreement. The
Father's counsel has now advised the conciliator that the parties have been unable to finalize an
agreement and that the Father is requesting that a hearing be scheduled.
5. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father objected to the Mother retaining
custody of the Child during a period of partial custody and enrolling him in a private school in the
Washington D.C. suburbs without the Father's consent. The Father indicated that he incurred
substantial legal fees in pursuing emergency relief and proceedings for contempt, for which he believes
the Mother should be responsible.
6. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother believes that her actions in
retaining custody of the Child were justified due to her safety concerns for the Child in the Father's
household.
7. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing on the
custody and contempt issues. It is anticipated that the hearing will require at least one-half day.

DEFENDANT'S REPLY TO NEW MATTER AND COUNTERCLAIM
SEEKING CUSTODY AND REIMBURSEMENT OF COUNSEL FEES, COSTS
AND EXPENSES FOR PLAINTIFF'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Gerald K. Bush, by and through his legal counsel,
John F. King, Esquire, and files the following Reply to Plaintiff's New Matter and Counterclaim
and, in support thereof, avers the following:
1.-15. Paragraphs 1-15 of Defendant's Petition for Contempt are incorporated herein as
if set forth at length.
REPLY TO NEW MATTER/COUNTERCLAIM FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
16. Paragraph 16 is an incorporation paragraph to which no reply is required.
17. It is denied that Defendant has arbitrarily, and without Plaintiff s prior knowledge,
refused to return the child to Plaintiff. By way of further reply, it is averred that Defendant has
received communication from Plaintiff by way of e-mail and text messaging in which Plaintiff
indicated her knowledge of the child's wish to return to Pennsylvania and also her lack of any
concern regarding the child's wishes.
18. It is denied that the child was required to attend summer school and also intended
to practice with the school baseball team and proof, therefore, is demanded. By way of further
reply, it is averred that Kyle, now 15 years old, has been practicing and playing baseball at his
home here in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, this summer, as he desires.
19. It is admitted that Kyle has not attended summer school nor practiced with the
baseball team in Maryland, other than several baseball practices in early June 2009.
20. It is admitted that Kyle has communicated that he wishes to return to
Pennsylvania. It is denied that Mother is adamantly against such a move and it is denied that
such a move is clearly not in Kyle's best interest, and proof, therefore, is demanded. By way of
further reply, it is averred that Mother has communicated her lack of concern regarding where
Kyle attends school in the fall.
21. The Father is without sufficient information regarding the child having sent a
letter to this Honorable Court and proof thereof is, therefore, demanded. By way of further reply,
counsel for Mother has failed to attach the letter, which is identified as Exhibit A of Mother's
New Matter/Counterclaim, to the copy of her pleading forwarded to Father's legal counsel.
22. Father is without sufficient information to determine the truth or falsity of
Mother's allegations regarding her beliefs and her pursuit of counseling near her home, and proof
thereof is therefor demanded. By way of further reply, it is denied that the child is in any need of
counseling.
23. It is admitted that there is a current trial date set for Monday, August 3, 2009, at
1:30 PM.
24. It is admitted that the Plaintiff has requested that the current issue be resolved at
the Court hearing. By way of further reply, it is averred that this Honorable Court has so ordered.
25. It is specifically denied that Defendant/Father has ignored the Court Order of
October 28, 2008, by not returning the child to the Plaintiff. By way of further reply, it is averred
that this Honorable Court's Order of October 28, 2008, does not in any way prevent the child
from remaining in his Father's home for the summer, nor does the underlying Custody Order
(which granted Father primary physical custody of the child).
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Father respectfully requests this Court to deny the relief
requested by Plaintiff in her New Matter/Counterclaim and further respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court grant the relief sought by Defendant/Father in his Petition for Contempt,
seeking reimbursement of counsel fees, costs and expenses for Plaintiff's Mother's failure to
comply with this Honorable Court's Custody Order dated November 18, 2005.
