Defendant/Petitioner: IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
NOW COMES Petitioner, Donna C. Brooks, Defendant above, by and through
her counsel, SAIDIS, SHUFF, FLOWER & LINDSAY, and petitions this Honorable
Court as follows:
1. The parties hereto are parents of two children: Kyle N. Binger, born
July 7,1990; and Corey A. Binger, born May 17,1987.
2. From the parties' separation in 1993 until the entry of this Court's Order
of July 16, 2001, the children have been in the primary physical care of Defendant.
3. The parties entered into an Agreement on August 20, 2001, according
to the terms of which Petitioner transferred to Respondent primary physical custody
of the children. A copy of the Court's Order of August 20,2001 is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A".
4. Since the entry of the Order on August 20, 2001, Respondent has
violated the Order in t he following respects:
A.
Paragraph 5 of the Order calls for Corey to attend Cumberland
Valley Schools. Between the entry of the Court Order on August
20, 2001, and the start of the school year, Respondent

"
transferred Corey into the Carlisle School District in order to
avoid the obligation of driving Corey to school as he had agreed.
B. Paragraph 8 of the Order calls for Kyle to continue in therapy
with Victoria Whitcomb at the frequency recommended by her.
Respondent has not continued Kyle's therapy with Victoria
Whitcomb by making the timely appointments required in
Paragraph 8.
C. Paragraph 9 of the Order requires Petitioner and Respondent to
"make a good faith effort to continue counseling with Victoria
Whitcomb to assist in the custody transition and their
communication with each 6ther". Respondent has terminated
counseling with Ms. Whitcomb.
D. Paragraph calls for both children to continue with their primary
care physician, Dr. Scott Setzer. Respondent transferred the
children's files to another primary care physician without advising
Petitioner.
E. Paragraph 16 of the Order calls for the parents to communicate
with each other concerning custody matters and not to the
SAIDIS

F. Paragraph 19 of the Order charges each parent with doing
nothing to estrange the children from the other party, or injure
the opinion of the children from the other party, or injure the
opinion of the children as to the other party, or which hampers
the free and natural development of the children's love or
affection for the other party. Since the entry of the Court Order
on August 20, 2001, Respondent refuses to provide the children
to Petitioner indicating to them that they can visit her if they want
to, and he continues to openly make fun of and denigrate the
Petitioner in front of the children.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court to find Respondent in
Contempt of its Order of August 20, 2001.

AMENDED PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
NOW COMES Petitioner, Donna C. Brooks, Defendant above, by and through
her counsel, SAIDIS, SHUFF, FLOWER & LINDSAY, and petitions this Honorable
Court as follows:
1. The parties hereto are parents of two children: Kyle N. Binger, born
July 7,1990; and Corey A. Binger, born May 17,1987.
2. From the parties' separation in 1993 until the entry of this Court's Order
of July 16, 2001, the children have been in the primary physical care of Defendant.
3. The parties entered into an Agreement on August 20, 2001, according
to the terms of which Petitioner transferred to Respondent primary physical custody
of the children. A copy of the Court's Order of August 20,2001 is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A".
4. Since the entry of the Order on August 20, 2001, Respondent has
violated the Order in t he following respects:
A.
Paragraph 5 of the Order calls for Corey to attend Cumberland
Valley Schools. Between the entry of the Court Order on August

transferred Corey into the Carlisle School District in order to
avoid the obligation of driving Corey to school as he had agreed.
B. Paragraph 8 of the Order calls for Kyle to continue in therapy
with Victoria Whitcomb at the frequency recommended by her.
Respondent has not continued Kyle's therapy with Victoria
Whitcomb by making the timely appointments required in
Paragraph 8.
C. Paragraph 9 of the Order requires Petitioner and Respondent to
"make a good faith effort to continue counseling with Victoria
Whitcomb to assist in the custody transition and their
communication with each other". R.espondent has terminated
counseling with Ms. Whitcomb.
D. Paragraph calls for both children to continue with their primary
care physician, Dr. Scott Setzer. Respondent transferred the
children's files to another primary care physician without advising
Petitioner.
E. Paragraph 16 of the Order calls for the parents to communicate
with each other concerning custody matters and not to the
children. Petitioner learned of the transfer of Corey's school
from the child, not from his father. Respondent continues to
avoid discussing matters with regard to the children with
Petitioner.
Paragraph 19 of the Order charges each parent with doing
nothing to estrange the children from the other party, or injure
the opinion of the children from the other party, or injure the
opinion of the children as to the other party, or which hampers
the free and natural development of the children's love or
affection for the other party. Since the entry of the Court Order

G. Respondent has violated Paragraph 1 (A) of the Court's Order of
January 16, 2002 by refusing to engage in relational counseling
with Marty Williams.
H. Respondent does not encourage the children to visit with
Petitioner during Court Ordered times, but rather encourages the
children to believe that they do not have to visit with Petitioner.
