(iv) Defendant has demonstrated in the past a lack of general
concern for the welfare of the minor children and has demonstrated
a lack of concern for her other natural children from prior
relationships.
(v) Defendant is unable to reside by herself without the
assistance of her parents or other persons.
15. Plaintiff is capable of insuring a supportive and loving
environment for the child, a home with appropriate lodging and insuring

vs.
CIVIL ACTION - CUSTODY
:
01 - 2-5YO
AMY D. LUCAS,
Defendant
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THE SAID COURT:
1. Plaintiff is Daniel E. Lucas, Sr., an adult individual who
currently resides at 15 East Simpson Street, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County pennsylvania, 17055.
2. Defendant is Amy D. Lucas, an adult individual with a last
known of 1083 Nanroc Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
pennsylvania, 17055.
3. Plaintiff seeks an emergency or temporary custody order
involving the minor children, Rachelle Lucas, D.O.B. February 12,
1996, and Daniel E. Lucas, Jr., D.O.B. March 14, 1998.
4. On or about June 20, 2001, the Honorable Edgar B. Bayley
entered a Court Order establishing a temporary cust9dy arrangement
pending completion of a custody evaluation by Dr. Stanley Schneider.
A copy of the Custody order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
"
5. Due to Defendant's failure to comply with numerous
provisions of the Court order, petitioner filed a Petition for
Contempt on September 14, 2001.
6. The Petition for Contempt raised substantial concerns
regarding Defendant/Respondent's behavior, including threats of
physical abuse to Plaintiff, allegations that Defendant/Respondent
had been "kidnapped" for periods of time and the inability of
Plaintiff to determine the whereabouts of Defendant/Respondent for
extended periods of time.
7. Defendant/Respondent has failed to attend the required
evaluation after numerous notices for her to attend and phone calls
from Dr. Schneider's office.
8. Following the submission of the petition for Contempt, a
custody conciliation conference was scheduled for October 18, 2001
at the Conciliator Sunday's office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania,
at 12:30 p.m.
9. At 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 18, 2001, Plaintiff's
Counsel, Andrew C. Sheely, Esquire, received a phone call from the
conciliator's office indicating that the conciliation conference had
been canceled due to an incident wherein Defendant/Respondent and
her father appeared at the conciliator's office in advance of the
scheduled conference and created a significant confrontation
regarding the pending conciliation conference.
10. The cancellation came without any contact from
Defendant/Respondent's counsel.
11. A subsequent conciliation has been scheduled for Friday,
October 26, 2001 at 9:00 a.m. at the Old Courthouse due to the
conciliator's request for security offered by the Cumberland County
Sheriff's Office.
12. Shortly after the conciliation conference had been
canceled, plaintiff/Petitioner received a threatening phone call on
2
7~
," ..., ~ " ,,^ ~ ,
I' Il~~
1 ~
-
~_.
his answering machine at his home from a person whom he believed to
be the paramour of Defendant/Respondent threatening that "Bubba was
going to settle these matters".
13. The cancellation of the conciliation conference has caused
Plaintiff to incur additional legal fees and costs associated with
having to reschedule the conference.
14. plaintiff has had exclusive custody of the minor children
since August of 2001 as Defendant/Respondent has not desired to
obtain the children for custody purposes for reasons unknown to
Plaintiff.
15. Plaintiff seeks a temporary custody order establishing
primary physical custody pending Defendant/Respondent's completion
of the Court Ordered evaluation with Dr. Schneider.
16. plaintiff seeks attorney fees and costs associated with
filing the instant petition for Emergency Relief and the prior
Petition for the reasons set forth therein.
17. As alleged in the prior Petition, the Defendant's behavior
since the entry of the June Custody Order has been unpredictable,
inconsistent and unreliable, and in no way in the best interests of
the minor children.
WHEREFORE, Daniel E. Lucas, Sr., Plaintiff herein, respectfully
requests that your Honorable Court find Defendant in Contempt of
Court, grant Plaintiff primary physical custody of the minor
children pending completion of the Custody evaluation and enter an
award for attorney fees and costs for Plaintiff as the result of

AMY D. LUCAS,
Defendant
IN CUSTODY
DEFENDANT'S PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
AND NOW, the Defendant, Amy D. Lucas, by and through her attorney, Jeanne B.
Costopoulos, Esquire, avers the following in support of this Petition:
1. Petitioner, Defendant above, is Amy D. Lucas (hereinafter referred to as Mother), an
adult individual temporarily residing at 640 Grahams Wood Road, Newville,
Cumberland County, Peunsylvania, 17241-9719.
2. Respondent, Plaintiff above, is Daniel E. Lucas, Sr. (hereinafter referred to as Father),
an adult individual currently residing at 15 E. Simpson Street, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
3. The parties are the natural parents of two children, namely Rachelle Lucas, born
February 12, 1996, and Daniel E. Lucas, Jr., born March 14, 1998.
4. The parties were divorced from each other on November I, 2005.
5. The parties previously entered into an Agreement regarding custody and an Order was
issued on November 5,2001. (See Exhibit A- i 1/5/01 Order).
6. Shortly after the November 5, 2001 Order was entered, Mother moved back in with
Father so she could better participate with parenting the children.
7. Since December of 2001, Mother has primarily resided with Father and the children.
On a few occasions, Mother did move out because she did not agree with Father's
";;,,~

requirement that she turn over her entire paycheck to him, but most recently she has
lived with Father and the children continuously for the past three (3) years.
8. Mother left the residence approximately three (3) weeks ago. Since that time, Father
has been strictly adhering to the November 5, 2001 custody order which significantly
limits Mother's custodial time with the children.
9. The schedule set forth in the November 5, 2001 custody order is highly inappropriate in
light of the fact that until recently Mother was residing with Father and the children and
shared child rearing responsibilities equally with Father. The Order should be changed
as soon as possible since the children are used to spending much more time with Mother
than Father is currently allowing.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Mother respectfully requests this Honorable Court to modifY the
current Order of Court such that he has shared physical custody of her children.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
