voluntarily and otherwise knowingly agree to the following:

2. It is the intention of the parties and the parties agree that they will
have shared legal custody of the subject minor children. The parties agree that major
decisions concerning their children, including, but not necessarily limited to, the
children's health, welfare, education, religious training and upbringing shall be made by
them jointly, after discussion and consultation with each other, with a view toward
obtaining and following a harmonious policy in the children's best interest. Each party

party agrees not to attempt to alienate the affections of the children from the other party.
Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance concerning their children
that could reasonably be expected to be of concern to the other. Day to day decisions
shall be the responsibility of the parent then having physical custody. With regard to any
emergency decisions which must be made, the parent having physical custody of the
children at the time of the emergency shall be permitted to make any immediate decisions
necessitated thereby. However, that parent shall inform the other of the emergency and
consult with him or her as soon as possible. Each party shall be entitled to complete and
full information from any doctor, dentist, teacher, professional or authority and to have
copies of any reports given to either party as a parent pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S.A. 392.

are necessary to ensure that the subject minor children reside in an environment free from
the use of alcohol products, as well as illegal narcotics, during their custodial periods. It
is further understood that a failure to adhere to this provision shall constitute a direct
violation of this Order of Court, and it could well expose the offending party to a loss of
custody and]or visitation, as well as possible fines and imprisonment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the respective parties, intending to be legally
bound, do hereby place their signatures and seals on the day and year first written above.
