Prior Judge:
CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF PROCEDURE
1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the children who are the subject of this litigation is
as follows:
Gabrielle Martenas, born June 27,1994; and Travis Martenas, born October IS, 1997.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on February 1,2002, with the following individuals
in attendance:
The Father, Matthew Martenas, with his counsel, Carol J. Lindsay, Esquire; and the
Mother, Nicole Martenas, with her counsel, Jerry A. Weigle, Esquire.
3. The parties have been separated since 1999. Over the past few months, the status quo on
custody has been essentially a shared physical custody arrangement with the parties
exchanging custody of the two minor children on Friday evenings. Father now filed a
petition seeking primary physical custody of both children. Mother was prepared to file a
similar petition, but did not file that petition in light of Father initiating the custody action.
Mother's position is that she should have primary physical custody. Father's position is
the same subject to Father's willingness to work out an arrangement if the matter could
have been resolved at the custody conciliation conference. Both parties have issues with
respect to the situation in the other parent's home and some daycare matters. These issues
can be presented at a hearing.
4. The conciliator recommends that a hearing be scheduled and recommends an interim order
maintaining the status quo on custody.
