CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
L The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Jason Dylan Collins
September 5, 2000
Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on December 20,2001, with the following individuals
in attendance: Daniel McGuire, Esquire, counsel for the Father, and David Lopez, Esquire, counsel for
the Mother. The Father, Jason G. Collins, is currently incarcerated in the Perry County Prison and was
unable to attend the Conference. The Father's counsel consulted with the Father by telephone during
the Conference. The Mother, Heather S. Early, was not able to obtain transportation and therefore,
was not present at the Conference.
3. This Court previously issued a Temporary Protection From Abuse Order in this matter
granting primary physical custody of the Child to Mother with supervised periods of visitation for the
Father. The Father filed this Petition for Primary Physical Custody. As, at the time of the Conference,
the Father was incarcerated in the Perry County Prison due to his conviction for driving under the
influence and driving under suspension, the Father is not able to pursue a transfer of primary custody at
this time. The Father's main concern at the time of the Conference was that the Mother indicated she
may be moving to Arizona in the near future, which the Father opposes as it would interfere with his
current regular periods of visitation with the Child.
