TOMASKO & KORANDA, P.C., and complains to this Honorable Court as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Crystal L. Randall, is an adult individual residing at 221 S.
Washington Street, Apt. 2, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant, Allen R. Randall, is an adult individual residing at 221 S.
Washington Street, Apt. 2, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. Plaintiff seeks custody of the following children:
Name Present Addresses Age
Emily E. Randall 221 S. Washington Street 3 (DOB: 5/23/96)
Apt. 2
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Allison N. Randall 221 S. Washington Street 2 (DOB: 7/11/97)
Apt. 2
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
The children were not born out of wedlock.
The children are presently in the custody of Plaintiff and Defendant, who
resides at the above address.
During the past five years, the children have resided at the following residences
with the following persons:
List All Persons List All Addresses Dates
Plaintiff & Defendant 221 S. Washington Street, Apt. 2 May 1, 1999 - present
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Plaintiff & Defendant 200 E. Keller Street January 15, 1999 to
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 May 1, 1999
Plaintiff & Defendant 318 Burd Street
Shippensburg, PA August 1998 to
January 15, 1999
Plaintiff & Defendant 200 E. Keller Street March, 1998 to
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 August 1998
Plaintiff & Defendant Various addresses in Illinois and Birth of children to
Kentucky March 1998
The mother of the children is Plaintiff, Crystal L. Randall, currently residing at 221 S.
Washington Street, Apt. 2, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. She is married to Defendant.
The father of the children is Plaintiff, Allen R. Randall, currently residing at 221 S.
Washington Street, Apt. 2, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He is married to Plaintiff.
4. The relationship of Plaintiff to the children is that of natural mother. The
Plaintiff resides with no other persons except the children and the Defendant. However, the
Defendant has advised Plaintiff that he intends to relocate to Illinois on or before August 16,
1999.
5. The relationship of Defendant to the children is that of natural father. He
currently resides with no other persons except the children and the Plaintiff. As noted, the
-2-
Defendant has announced his intention to relocate to Illinois on or before August 15, 1999.
6. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in
other litigation concerning the custody of the children in this court. Plaintiff does not know of
a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical custody of the children or claims to
have custody or visitation rights with respect to the children.
7. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be served by
granting primary physical custody to Plaintiff in that Plaintiff is better able to provide for the
children's physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual well-being. Additionally, Plaintiff
believes, and therefore avers, that when the Defendant relocates to the State of Illinois, he may
take the parties' youngest child, Allison, and leave the parties' older child, Emily.
8. Each parent whose parental rights to the children have not been terminated have
been named as parties to this action. There are no other persons who are known to have or
claim a right to custody or visitation of the children.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court grant her primary
physical custody of the aforementioned children.
Respectfully submitted,

NO. 4904 CIVIL 1999
CUSTODYNISITATION
CUSTODY CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-5(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the child(ren) who is(are) the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME BIRTHDATE CURRENTLY IN
CUSTODY OF
Emily E. Randall May 23, 1996
Allison N. Randall July 11, 1997
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on December 16, 1999, and the following
individuals were present: the Plaintiff and her attorney, Michael A. Koranda, Esquire; the
Defendant and his attorney, Keirsten L. Davidson, Esquire.
3. Items resolved by agreement: None.
4. Issues yet to be resolved: An ultimate custody and visitation schedule.
5. The Plaintiff's position on custody is as follows: Mother indicates that she is more
than willing to let the Father have visitation and periods of partial custody with the children as
long as it occurs here in Pennsylvania, near the house. This is because the oldest child has some
severe medical problems. Mother produced a letter from the child's primary physician indicating
that it would be impossible for the child to be transported back and forth to Illinois where the
Father lives. Additionally, the child needs to have a catheter inserted regularly, and the only one
that apparently has been able to insert it successfully is Mother, even when the child was in for
surgery recently.
Additionally, Mother is not inclined to let the other child to go out to see the Father alone
because of the bond between the two children, and also because the second child has speech and
behavioral therapy two times per week.
6. The Defendant's position on custody is as follows: Father indicated that the parties
have moved around during the time of the marriage and before they separated. He is currently
located in Illinois where they lived previously. He indicates that he can obtain the necessary care
for the child when the child is there. He requested that he be given regular blocks of time with
the children which would include time over Christmas, Easter break, and the summer.
Additionally, Father believes that he should see the other child and there should be no
prohibition from the other child coming to see him even if the Court decides there are medical
issues related to the child that would prevent her from traveling.
7. Need for separate counsel to represent child(ren): Neither party requested.
8. Need for independent psychological evaluation or counseling: None requested and the
Conciliator does not believe any is necessary.
9. A hearing in this matter will take one day.
10. Other matters or comments: This is a very difficult case. The parties moved around
while Father was in the military. The parties separated in May, 1999, and the Father eventually
left in October, 1999, and moved back to Illinois, his home town. Mother has family in this area.
The parties apparently lived in Illinois for a period of time together.
The oldest child has severe medical problems. A letter from the primary treating
physician, who is a professor at the Department of Pediatrics for the Hershey Medical Center,
relates that, "Emily has the most complex anatomical malformations that I have seen in 37 years
of pediatrics." Apparently she has had multiple number of operations and in fact is scheduled for
another operation. The only person who can insert the catheter in order to gain access to the
bladder is the Mother.
The question is whether or not this child's physical limitations are such that she cannot
travel to Illinois to have periods of time with her Father. Given the severity of her problems, it
appears that that is in question. If the Court determines that this child is not physically able to
travel to be with her Father, then the next issue the Court will have to deal with is whether or not
the other child should go in the absence of her sister. This child has some issues as well since
she is undergoing speech and behavioral therapy. The Court will have to assess whether that
speech and behavioral therapy is such that the child should riot go to see the Father as well.
This case is very much dependent upon the expertise of the medical professionals. The
Court will have to be guided by the medical professionals and the Conciliator suggested to the
parties that it would be useful for the Court to have the medical professionals' testimony either
live or via deposition in order for the Court to make an appropriate decision.
