custody of the children or claim to have custody or visitation rights with respect to
the children.
16. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be best served by
granting the relief requested by Plaintiff because of the following reasons:
a. Plaintiff has always been the primary care-giver for the children since their
birth and wishes to continue to be their primary care-giver.
b. Plaintiff has severe concerns with Defendant's emotional stability and its
potentially negative effect on the children due to Defendant's past violent
conduct toward Plaintiff which resulted in several criminal convictions.
3. Due to direct threats from Defendant that he intends to abscond with the
children and take them to unknown location thereby denying Plaintiff any
and all contact with the children.
d. Defendant has not always acted in the best interest of the children when he
has shown compulsive behavior and has repeatedly, and at times incessantly,
telephoned Plaintiff for no legitimate reason. Defendant's emotional well-
being is questionable and the fear is that the Defendant may abscond with the
children because he has indicated to Plaintiff that he intends to do so.
e. It is important for the children to continue to foster their close relationship
with their uncle and cousin, with whom they presently reside.
17, Each parent whose parental rights to the children have not been terminated and the
person who has physical custody of the children have been named as parties of this
action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Toni R. O'Donnell, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
grant primary custody of her children, Cory A. O'Donnell and Shane M. O'Donnell to Plaintiff, with
partial custody to Defendant, and grant such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.

IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT

2. A Conciliation Conference was held on February 14, 2002, with the following individuals in
attendance: The Mother, Toni R. O'Donnell, with her counsel, Linda A. Clotfelter, Esquire. Neither
the Father, Robert J. O'Donnell, nor counsel for the Father appeared at the Conference. The Mother's
counsel served the Father with notice by certified mail. The Mother indicated that in conversations
with the Father, the Father indicated he did not intend to attend or participate in the Conference.
3. The Mother stated that since the parties' separation in April 2001, the Children have been
residing primarily with her and the Father has had custody of the boys on alternating weekends and
alternating Wednesday evenings. The Mother expressed concern that, on occasion, the Father has not
picked up the Children as planned. The Mother also expressed concerns regarding the Father's threats
to abscond with the Children. The mother stated that she believes it is important for the Children to
maintain their relationship with the Father and proposed a custody schedule basically confirming the
existing arrangements with additional provisions to address some of her concerns.
4. Based upon the statements made by the Mother at the Conference and the fact that the
Father did not appear or contact the Conciliator, the Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as
attached. The Father may file a Petition with the Court if he wishes to have the custody arrangements
reviewed or modified. /l j! I

CIVIL ACTION LAW
ROBERT J. O'DONNELL,
Defendant
IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Children who are the subjects of this litigation is
as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Shane M. O'Donnell
Cory A. O'Donnell
April 16, 1991
February 12, 1993
Mother
Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on February 14, 2002, with the following individuals in
attendance: The Mother, Toni R. O'Donnell, with her counsel, Linda A. Clotfelter, Esquire. Neither
the Father, Robert J. O'Donnell, nor counsel for the Father appeared at the Conference. The Mother's
counsel served the Father with notice by certified mail. The Mother indicated that in conversations
with the Father, the Father indicated he did not intend to attend or participate in the Conference.
3. The Mother stated that since the parties' separation in April 2001, the Children have been
residing primarily with her and the Father has had custody of the boys on alternating weekends and
alternating Wednesday evenings. The Mother expressed concern that, on occasion, the Father has not
picked up the Children as planned. The Mother also expressed concerns regarding the Father's threats
to abscond with the Children. The mother stated that she believes it is important for the Children to
maintain their relationship with the Father and proposed a custody schedule basically confirming the
existing arrangements with additional provisions to address some of her concerns.
4. Based upon the statements made by the Mother at the Conference and the fact that the
Father did not appear or contact the Conciliator, the Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as
attached. The Father may file a Petition with the Court ifhe wishes to have the custody arrangements
reviewed or modified. ;;

ANSWER TO PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY

through her connsel, Law Offices of Craig A. Diehl, and respectfully responds to Petitioner's
Petition to Modify Custody as follows:
1. - 4. Admitted
S. Denied. It is specifically denied that Father was lead to believe that the prior
Conciliation was canceled. In further answer hereof, DefendantlPetitioner was
served with the original Complaint for Custody and Order of Court Scheduling
Conciliation by Certified Mail, Restricted Delivery, Return Receipt Requested, as per
the Affidavit of Service filed of record in this proceeding on January 4, 2002. (A true
and correct copy of the Affidavit of Service is attached hereto as Exhibit" A" and is
incorporated herein as if fully set forth.) Moreover, Petitioner was notified of the
rescheduled date for the Conciliation Conference by correspondence dated January
16, 2002 (A true and correct copy of the correspondence is attached hereto as
Exhibit "B" and is incorporated herein as if fully set forth.), which enclosed an Order
of Court rescheduling the Conciliation for Thursday, February 14,2002. (A true and

Plaintiff /Respondent just prior to the Conciliation Conference scheduled for February
14,2002, that he did not intend to appear, and in fact, he did not do so. On the date
of the Conciliation Conference, counsel sent DefendantlPetitioner correspondence
outlining the resulting Order entered in his absence, same having been mailed to him
by first class mail on that date. (A true and correct copy of correspondence is
attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein as iffully set forth.) Despite
prompt notice of the Conciliation Conference of February 14,2002, and the resulting
Custody Order, DefendantlPetitioner did not contact counsel for PlaintifflRespondent
nntil counsel received the Petition to Modify Custody on Jnne 17, 2002,
approximately four (4) months later.
DefendantlPetitioner's conduct throughout this proceeding and the related
divorce proceeding has been irrational and nnacceptable. DefendantlPetitioner has
left numerous threatening messages for PlaintifflRespondent and has repeatedly used
the children as pawns in this proceeding, at times questioning them about their
Mother's relationships, with some of these discussions resulting in violent outbursts
by DefendantlPetitioner.
The Pennsylvania State Police are currently investigating the repeated,
threatening phone messages that DefendantlPetitioner has left for
PlaintifflRespondent and it is anticipated that the Cumberland County District
Attorney's office will be pursuing criminal charges against DefendantlPetitioner for
same. Despite Defendant/Petitioner's repeated, nnacceptable conduct,
Plaintiff /Respondent, to date, has not taken any steps to limit DefendantlPetitioner' s
contact with his children.
