PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
And now, on this 31 day of March 2008, the Plaintiff, Charles V. White wishes to make
the court aware that the child whose custody is in question, Laurel B.L. White, has been
involved in a shared custody agreement since 2001 (enclosed). No complaint has ever
been filed against the Father or Mother in question to planned periods of custody, care, or
overall well-being.
Further, as the child is special needs, diagnosed with Retts Syndrome., the Father wishes
to make the court aware that she receives medical assistance through Gateway Insurance;
she has very little out-of-pocket expenses, [i.e. diapers, medicine, medical equipment,
special needs equipment, transportation to and from school, therapy (currently through
Stevens Center, which the Father initiated), and after school nursing assistance (currently
through Links-2-Care Nursing Agency)] are all financed fully through her insurance.
The Father wishes the court to know that he wishes for the best interests of his daughter,
which he believes is retaining in the custody of the Mother, wherein her education,
therapy, and medical needs are previously arranged. He wishes to be involved in his
daughter's life and his proposed modification will prove to establish this.
The Father and Mother have attempted to resolve these issues outside of court, but no
reasonable agreement can be met. Therefore, the Father would like to place the decision
in the hands of the court.
