REPLY TO CARLISLE
You will recall that I represent Kyle Smith with regard to custody of your
daughter, Alexis. I understand that Kyle's regular weekend period of custody will begin
on Friday, July 7 and continue through Sunday, July 9. Kyle informs me that you
contacted him in approximately May 2006 to request that he switch weekends with you
for his regular weekend period of time, but that he refused to do that, because he made
plans for that weekend period of time. He advised you then in May that he planned for
he and his daughter to go camping during that weekend. You then approached him
again in approximately the first weekend of June 2006 and requested again that he
switch weekends with you for that same weekend in July. Again, he advised you that
he would not be willing to switch weekends with you. He has made special plans for he
and his daughter to go camping over the weekend of July 7 through July 9.
It has come to my attention that you have advised Kyle as late as June 25, 2006
that you intended to take your child to Las Vegas over the weekend of July 7 through
July 9, during Kyle's regularly scheduled weekend period of time, despite the fact that
you know that is Kyle's period of custody and that Kyle has made special plans for he
and Alexis. Please be advised that if you do not provide custody of your daughter to
Kyle on Friday, July 7, 2006 as ordered, Kyle will take immediate action. Kyle will file a
Petition for Contempt with the court. He will request that you be found in contempt of
the Order for custody.
You should understand that the law states that a "party who willfully fails to
comply with any visitation or Partial Custody Order may be adjudged in contempt. That
contempt shall be punishable by any one or more of the following: imprisonment for a
period not to exceed six months, a fine not to exceed $500.00 or probation for a period
not to exceed six months." Kyle will request that your fine or punishment include any
and all of those.
. Debra Smith

Kyle believes that should you choose to remove Alexis from Pennsylvania, this
would be viewed as a willful and blatant disregard of the Custody Order and quite
frankly, of his parenting privileges.
Please reconsider your travel plans for the weekend of July 7. Kyle anticipates
that he will be receiving custody of Alexis for his regularly scheduled weekend, as he
previously indicated to you.
Very truly yours,
SAIDIS, FLOWER & LINDSAY

PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Debra J. Smith, by and through her attorney, Andrew
H. Shaw, Esquire, and respectfully avers the following:
1. Plaintiff resides at 1678 Douglas Drive, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant resides at 352 "A" Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are the natural parents of one (1) child, Alexis Nicole Smith, born February 7,
1997.
4. Court Orders were issued in this matter on November 20, 2001, January 3, 2003, and
October 9, 2006. Copies of the Orders are attached hereto and incorporated by reference as
Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively.
5. The most recent Order, October 9, 2006, was signed by the Honorable Kevin A. Hess.
6. Pursuant to the current Order dated October 9, 2006, the parties share legal custody of
Alexis.
7. On or about September 1, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Petition for Contempt and Modification.
8. On or about September 2, 2006, Defendant received a copy of the Petition in the mail, via
first-class mail.
9. The attorney representing the Defendant, Marylou Matas, Esquire was made aware of a
conflict of interest in that she had recently become an associate at Saidis, Flower & Lindsay, and
Plaintiff's attorney, Carol J. Lindsay, was a partner at the same firm.
10. It is believed that Plaintiff obtained a new attorney at some point prior to the conciliation
conference held on October 3, 2006.
11. It is believed that due to the change in attorneys, Defendant did not receive notice of the
conciliation conference.
12. Defendant intended to attend the conciliation conference, and was waiting on notice of
the same.
13. This matter should be rescheduled for a custody conciliation conference, to properly
address the issues raised in Plaintiff's Petition filed on September 1, 2006, and to provide
Defendant an opportunity to respond to the allegations in Plaintiff's Petition.
14. Because the current Court Order was entered on the basis that Defendant failed to attend
the custody conciliation conference on October 3, 2006, it is appropriate for the Court to vacate
said Order and reinstate the Order(s) that was in effect prior to October 9, 2006.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court Order a new custody
conciliation conference based on Plaintiff's Petition filed September 1, 2006; and vacate the
Order entered October 3, 2006, thereby reinstating the Orders that were in effect prior to October
3, 2006.
