that Father shall have visitation with his son "every other weekend from Saturday
morning at 9:00 AM until Monday either before school or before Father goes to work,
and at such other times as the Parties may agree."
2. On or about April 18, 2001, a Complaint for Custody was filed by the Father seeking
"primary residential custody" of his son. Subsequently, a June 27,2001 Court Order
was issued providing for shared legal custody between Mother and Father of Mark A.
Hess, Jr. The Court then proceeded to indicate the physical custody / visitation in a
detailed manner.
3. On or about September 4,2002, Mark A. Hess, Sr., Plaintiff, filed through his
counsel, Sally J. Winder, a Modification of Complaint for Custody. A Conciliation '
Conference relative to the Modification for Complaint of Custody was held before

dated October 23, 2002 issued setting forth the Hearing on matters alleged in the
Modification of Complaint for Custody on December 18, 2002 at 8:45 AM. For a
second time, Father seeks primary residential custody of the child, Mark A. Hess, Jr.

:IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
:CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
:CIVIL ACTION - LAW
:NO. 01-2416 CIVIL
:IN CUSTODY
RENEE S. HESS,
Defendant
Plaintiff Father's Pre-hearing Memorandum
Statement of Facts. There is an existing Order dated June 27, 2001. Pursuant to that
Order the days and times for Father to exercise custody are set out according to an
agreement reached before the Conciliator. At present, the issue before the Court is the
primary residential and physical custody of the nine year old minor child, Mark Hess, Jr.
Under the existing Order and the practice of the parties, Father has provided the day to
day nurturing and care ofthe child during the Summer school vacation time and has
generally had the child on alternating weekends. During the school year, the child is
primarily with Mother and Father has the child on alternating weekends and during
Christmas vacation from school during the day when he is not working.
Mother has allowed the child to be truant from school and does not provide proper
supervision, of the child. She does not help him with schoolwork or reading which he
desparately needs; Father does when he sees the child. Mother allows the child to stay up
late which accentuates to the child's problems at school since he is tired and doesn't want
to focus on schoolwork. Mother is short tempered and picks arguments and fights with
Father or alternatively, will not talk to Father at all about the custody issues. Father
objects to Mother's arbitrary decisions to keep the child for occasions she desires the child
to attend and her fuilure to then trade weekends or provide for time with Father.
Father believes that the child would be best served by allowing the child to live
with him primarily and visit with the Mother on alternating weekends and holidays as
Father spends the majority oftime with the child during the Summer and provides fir his
care and nurturing. Father is the parent who primarily clothes, feeds, and provides for the
" 'J

medical and dental care of the child. Father is the one who usually takes the child to the
doctor and the dentist; Father was concerned that the child was bitten by a dog. Mother
didn't take the child to the doctor until two days after it happened. This illustrative of
Mother's lacadaisical attitude when it comes to caring for her son.
Legal Issue. The primary issue is the primary custody of this child. The best
interests of this child are in living with the parent who is most likely to encourage his
educational endeavors and create for him a stable routine homelife. That parent is the one
who makes sure he has regular meals, makes sure he goes to bed at night, makes sure he
goes to school; helps him to learn to read, write, add, and subtract. That parent is also the
one who is most co-operative in providing for a nurturing and loving environment for the
child. Father provides such a home. Father's hands are tied when Mother lets the child
stay up late on school nights; doesn't make him go to school; lets him control her and
abdicates her position as parent and guardian ofhis welfare.
Witnesses.
Carrie and Morris Hess, Ritner Highway, Carlisle, P A. Mr. and Mrs. Hess are the
child's grandparents. They enjoy a close relationship with the child and live nextdoor.
Mark, Jr. likes to spend time with his grandparents and especially his grandfather. The
Hess's will testuy to the Mother's short temper and her lack of co-operation concerning
the child. They will further testuy to her agrumentativeness and the ill effect it has on the
child. They will testuy that Father has provided clothing, meals, nurturing for the child and
that the child would be best served by living with his Father.
Mark A. Hess, Sr. will testuy as to Mother's unwillingness to discuss custody or
childcare matters with him. Mother doesn't tell him her work schedule which results in
problems of not knowing where the child is to be at times. Mother at times will not answer
her door when he goes to pick uo the child; will refuse to answer her phone; will say she is
going to make doctor or dentist appointments but then never does. Mother wants to keep
the child for occasions such as a wedding in September but refuses to switch weekends

with Father. Mother neglects to make sure the child is going to bed on time and allows the
child to miss days of school when he is not ill. Mother does not work with the child on
schoolwork despite requests by his teachers and the school to do so.
Carol. Father's girlfriend will testify to the lack of communication between Father and
Mother and the arguments started by Mother which adversely impact on the child. She will
testify as to the excellent relatioonship between Father and child and Father's care and
focus on the child.
Time of hearing. One-half day.

CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
1. The pertinent infonnation pertaining to the child who is the subject of this litigation
is as follows:
Mark A. Hess, Jr., born April 25, 1993.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on October 10, 2002, with the following
individuals in attendance:
The Father, Mark A. Hess, Sr., with his counsel, Sally J. Winder, Esquire; and the
Mother, Renee S. Hess, with her counsel, Galen R. Waltz, Esquire.
3. The parties were before the conciliator in June of 2001 at which time they reached an
agreement on custody that essentially provided the Mother with primary physical
custody and the parties alternating weekends. It also provided that Father would
have custody during the day when he is off work, with that provision primarily
taking effect in the summer months. During the school year, the child would spend
most of the week with the Mother.
4. Father is now suggesting that Mother is not exerclsmg appropriate care and
supervision of the minor child and Father suggests he should be primary custodian of
the minor child. The Mother is unwilling to agree upon a modification of the existing
order. There is not much the conciliator can do in this particular situation, and the
parties require a hearing before the court in order to. have this issue resolved.
