1. All filings in the above case shall hereafter be made at the docket numb~r of 2007-

continue to work with the paternal grandmother, Debra Denisar- ordan, and
provide the Paternal Grandmother with reasonable visitation wit the minor
child as they have in the past.
B. The Maternal Grandparents shall continue to cooperate with pris n officials

visit the Father in prison subject to meeting all of the requirem nts of the
state correctional institution involved.
C. The Maternal Grandparents shall endeavor to provide an atmosphere where

3. The petition filed by the father, Joseph P. Mazer, to transfer custody o~ the minor

4. This Order does not in any way prohibit the Father from filing an appropr ate petition
at such time as he is released from prison in order for the Court to consider a
modification of the existing custody Order.

PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
1. Plaintiff is Joseph Brian Mazer, an adult individual, residing at 20 Glenwood Drive,
Biglerville, Adams County, Pennsylvania 17307. (Hereinafter referred to as "Father")
2. Defendants are David S. Fieseler and Laura Camp-Fieseler, adult individuals, residing at
101 South George Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
(Hereinafter referred to as "Grandparents", "Grandfather" and/or "Step-Grandmother")
3. Mother is Michele S. Mazer, an adult individual, residing at Claremont Nursing Home,
1000 Claremont Dr. Carlisle, PA 17013.
4. Plaintiff is the natural father of one (1) child, namely Phoenix Aidyn Mazer, born,
July 18, 2005.
5. Defendants are the maternal grandparents (Grandfather and Step-Grandmother) of the
child.
6. On April 16, 2007 an Order from the Cumberland County Courts was Granted, giving
"sole legal custody" to Grandparents as both parents were facing a lengthy term of
incarceration.
7. Father agreed, at that time, it was in the best interest of the child.
8. Mother was in a serious automobile accident in November of 2007 rendering her
permanently incapacitated as decided by Cumberland County Court.
140
9. On March 3, 2010, in response to a pro-se Motion filed by the Father from prison and
tele-conference with a Concilliator, it was Ordered, Grandparents "shall endeavor to
provide an atmosphere where the child enjoys some type of contact with the Father..."
10. In January of 2012, Father filed a pro se Petition to Modify Custody.
11. On February 21, 2012, as a result of Concilliation, the Cumberland County Court granted
Father partial custody of the Child to include overnight visitation and alternating
Monday evening visits.
12. At said Concilliation, Father agreed that it would not be in the best interest of the child
at that time for the Father to have full custody as Father was not in the position to
provide for the child or offer reasonable living accomodations.
13. On May 23, 2012, after the final Concilliation of this record, it was agreed and Ordered
that the February 21, 2012 Order would remain and be broadened to include
"additional periods of custody overextended weekends and other times" and "one
week each summer" as well.
14. Since this final Order was made, Father and son have enjoyed regular weekend "sleep-
over" visitations as well as one week in Ocean City MD. over the summer, alternating
Monday "date-night" visits, a week during Christmas vacation, and several additional
over-night visitations, establishing a strong relationship of trust, respect, and love with
the Child.
15. Father has secured a residence in a safe and peaceful community in a good school
district with accommodations for the Child to include his own bedroom, a large yard,
and a nurturing environment.
16. Father now Petitions the Court for Full Custody of his Child.
17. Since the Order dated February 21, 2012, Father has endeavored to allow the child
ample visitation with Paternal Grandparents, Paternal Uncle, Paternal Cousins, Paternal
Great-Grandparents, Maternal Great-Grandmother, Maternal Aunt, as well as
negotiating his scheduled visitation to accommodate custodial Grandparent's planned
activities with the Child.
18. Father has taken initiative to contact the Childs' school asking for progress reports,
report cards, and attending parent-teacher conferences to better serve the Childs'
educational needs.
19. Father has attempted to reconcile the relationship with Grandfather with limited
success.
20. Father has made multiple attempts to reconcile the relationship with Step-Grandmother
to no apparent avail.
21. Grandparents have expressed an interest in moving out of State.
22. In V.B. and C.B. v.1.E.B. and C.C. 2012 Pa Super. 200 (Pa Super. 2012) the Superior
Court affirmed the constitutional presumption in favor of natural parents over
grandparents in child custody cases.
23. The best interest of the Child would be served living with the Father.
WHEREFORE, Father prays this Court GRANT him full Custody of his child, Phoenix Aidyn
Mazer.

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 Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME AGE CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Phoenix Mazer 8 Paternal Grandparents
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on July 22, 2013, with the following individuals
in attendance: the Father, Joseph Brian Mazer, who is not represented by counsel in this matter, and the
Maternal Grandparents, David Fieseler and Laura Camp-Fieseler, with their counsel, Johnathan Vega
and Megan Riesmeyer, Esquire.
3. This Court previously entered an Order in this matter following custody conciliation on
April 8, 2013 under which the parties agreed to participate in a Family Group Decision Making
Conference. Soon thereafter the Father contacted the conciliator as the Family Group Conferencing
contact person advised that the Maternal Grandmother was not cooperating with moving this matter
forward to a conference. The conciliator contacted the Maternal Grandparents' counsel and
subsequently further efforts were made to schedule a meeting to move forward with the Family Group
Decision Making Conference. On June 10, 2013, the program coordinator contacted the conciliator to
advise that they were no longer willing to work with Laura Camp-Fieseler as it had become clear to
them that she was deliberately trying to delay the process to prevent the Father from having additional
custody. A second custody conciliation conference was scheduled, which is the subject of this report.
4. The Father reiterated his desire to assume primary custody of the Child and the Maternal
Grandmother indicated her continuing opposition. It will be necessary to schedule a hearing in this
matter. It is anticipated that the hearing will require at least one-half day and the Maternal
Grandparents indicated their intention to have the Child testify. The Father indicated that he will
obtain legal representation for the hearing.
5. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father indicated his readiness and
willingness to assume primary physical custody of the Child although he is grateful to the Maternal
Grandparents for raising the Child for over six years to this point. The Father offered for the
Grandparents to have partial custody of the Child on a weekly regular basis when he is not in school.
The Father believes that the Maternal Grandparents should become grandparents to the Child rather
than serving in the primary role of parents as it is no longer necessary. The Father indicated that he
has the support of family and friends and is ready, willing and able to be a primary parent to the Child.
The Father indicated his desire to maintain a good and cooperative relationship with the Maternal
Grandparents.
6. The Maternal Grandparents' position on custody is as follows: The Maternal Grandmother
indicated her belief that it would be detrimental to the Child to make the transition in parenting to the
Father's primary custody. She pointed out that the Grandparents have raised the Child for the past
several years and he needs them to continue fulfilling that primary role. The Grandparents believe it
is in the Child's best interests to continue the existing custodial schedule under which the Grandparents
have primary physical custody and the Father has regular periods of partial custody. The Grandmother
advised that the Child has expressed a preference to continuing residing primarily in her care. The
Maternal Grandmother indicated that she had not done anything to intentionally delay the Family
Group Decision Making process and that their perception of her failure to cooperate was a
misunderstanding.
7. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing in this
matter. In light of the Father's repeated efforts to move the Family Group Decision Making
Conference process forward in a timely manner as he was requesting primary physical custody of the
Child prior to the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, an expedited hearing is requested.

parties. The party receiving custody of the child shall provide transportation for the
custodial exchanges, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. The custodial
exchanges shall take place at each party's residence where each party will be permitted
to peacefully pick the children up from the other party's respective residence.
5. Relocation: No party shall relocate the child if such relocation will
significantly impair the ability of the non-relocating party to exercise his or her custodial
rights unless (a) every person who has custodial rights to the child consents to the
proposed relocation or (b) the court approves the proposed relocation. The party
seeking relocation must follow the procedures required by 23 Pa. C.S. §5337.
5
6. Modification: Any provision of this custody order may be modified by mutual
agreement of the parties.

IN RE: CUSTODY
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 9th day of January, 2014, pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S.A. §5323(d) the
Court states the following reasons granting maternal grandparents primary physical
custody in this case:
1. At the present time, the grandparents are more likely to encourage and permit
frequent and continuing contact between the child and Father.
2. Given the fact that Father was serving a state prison sentence during most of
the child's life, the grandparents have performed all parental duties for the child.
3. The child does suffer from attention deficit hyperactive disorder and is actively
being seen by Sue Heath, a licensed clinical social worker with 31 years' experience.
She indicates that a child with ADHD needs consistency and that any drastic change at
this time could lead to regression. Counselor Heath believes the child is currently in the
best school district to provide a good section 504 plan as required by the Americans
With Disabilities Act. Consequently the need for stability and continuity in the child's
education, family and community life will best be served by staying with the
grandparents at this time.
4 y.
4. The child, who has an IQ of 130 and is considered gifted, has expressed a
well- reasoned preference to stay with the grandparents. He currently likes his living
situation, his school and current circle of friends.
