PETITION FOR MODIFICATION
AND NOW comes the plaintiff, Jennifer Garman (formerly Brinton), by her attorney, Nathan
C. Wolf, Esquire, and presents the following petition to modify custody, representing as follows:
1. The plaintiff is Jennifer Garman (formerly Brinton), an adult individual residing at 6 South
High Street, Newville, GJrnberland County, Pennsylvania, 17241.
2. The defendant is William L. Brinton, an adult individual with a mailing address of 45
Country View Estates, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17241.
3. The parties are the natural parents of one minor child, namely:
Kristopher Btinton
45 Country View Estates
Newville, PA 17241
4 years
DOB 11/04/2000
4. The child is presently the subject of an Orderfor Gtstody issued December 23,2003,
providing for primary physical custody of the child with Father subject to liberal periods of visitation
with Mother as per the agreement of the parties, including shared holidays by agreement. The parties
also share legal custody of the child. A true and correct copy of the order of which modification is
sought is attached hereto as Exhibit A
5. Since the issuance of said Order, presented to the Court as a stipulated agreement, there
had been initial compliance to the satisfaction of the parties. Father has, in fact, permitted Mother to
have periods of partial physical custody of the child without requiring herto be subject to the
supervision of another adult, including some overnight visitation.
6. The current Order came about during a time where Mother was abusing drugs and alcohol
and became involved in some criminal activity as a result of said addiction. When Mother recognized
her addiction, she voluntarily relinquished primary physical custody of the child to Father.
7. Since the issuance of that Order, Mother has not used drugs for one year, as of April 1,
2005, and successfully completed drug rehab in April of 2004.
11. Mother has a good relationship with the child and shares a bond with him.
8. As a result of the criminal charges, Mother is currently serving an Intermediate Punishment
sentence of 7 years which commenced on September 24,2004.
9. Mother is gainfully employed and Mother has resided alone at the above address for
approximately three months.
10. Mother seeks a modification of custody based upon developments that have occurred since
the issuance of said custody order.
12. Father has resided at the above address for approximately six months, with his girlfriend,
Pamela Riley and her two children, Austin, age 8 and Jessica, age 3, in addition to the child who is the
subject of the instant petition.
13. Mother has obtained information that Father's girlfriend is attempting to regain custody of
her son, Quentin, age 6, whom Mother believes to have a serious mental health history involving self-
mutilation and, has also been accused of dangerous behaviors towards others, including possible
molestation of other children and pyromania.
14. Mother believes and therefore avers that if this child is permitted to reside with Father's
girlfriend, in the same home as Quentin, that the child will be exposed to an unduly dangerous situation
and that this should, therefore, not be permitted.
15. Mother has not been asked her opinion concerning this situation by Father and believes
that Father has no intention of allowing Mother's opinion to be known until after Quentin has moved
to Pennsylvania.
16. Mother learned that Father's girlfriend was seeking to regain custody of Quentin through
others and not from Father directly.
17. Based on information and belief, Mother avers that Father's girlfriend was incarcerated for
some period of time in 2004 and believes that such incarceration may have been related to accusations
of her abuse of her son, Austin.
22. Mother believes that the Father has sought to alienate the child from the love and affection
of Mother and believe that he will accuse her of engaging in such action directed towards the Father.
18. Mother has significant fears that in allowing the child to be exposed to a potentially
dangerous situation Father has not acted in the child's best interests.
19. Mother seeks to protect her child from this situation and believes that the best means to do
so would be for the child to be in her primary physical custody.
20. Mother recognizes that this result may have to be gradual and, provided Quenrin is not
immediately living in the household with Father, Mother is willing to agree to a transition period to
allow the child to acclimate to primarily living with Mother.
21. Furthermore, if the child Quenrin is not going to be joining Father's household, Mother is
in agreement with enjoying partial physical custody of the child and in support thereof, avers the
following facts in support of this request for modification.
23. Aside from the concerns Mother identified above, Mother has also been subject to Father's
whims and desires in permitting visitation.
24. On more than one occasion, Father has conditioned Mother's visitation with her child on
Mother agreeing to also baby-sit the children of Father's girlfriend.
25. Therefore, at a minimum, Mother seeks to have a modification of the custody order to
permit her regular periods of partial physical custody on a weekly or alternating week basis, along with
shared holidays and summer vacations.
26. Mother avers that the basis for her actions concerning her son is solely motivated by her
concern for the child's best interests and permanent welfare.
27. Mother believes and therefore avers that it would be in the best interests of the child for the
Court to issue an order granting shared legal custody to the parties, granting primary physical custody
of the child to Mother and granting periods of partial physical custody to Father on an alternating
schedule to accommodate Father' work schedule, providing for shared custody of the child on holidays,
and providing for periods of uninterrupted custody during summers vacations with each party.
Respec
bmitted,
28. Mother believes and therefore avers that the best interests and permanent welfare of the
child would be best served by the entry of an order as aforesaid.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff, Jennifer Garman (formerly Brinton), prays this Honorable Court
enter an Order granting the relief requested herein granting the parties shared legal custody, and for
physical custody of the child to be set forth herein, and any other relief the Court deems appropriate.
