JUDGE PREVIOUSLY ASSIGNED: The Honorable Edgar B. Bayley
CUSTODY CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8(b), 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 BIRTHDATE CURRENTLY IN
CUSTODY OF
Melinda S. Rosenberger July 2, 1992 Plaintiff
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on October 14, 1999, and the following
individuals were present: the Plaintiff and Tier attorney, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire; the
Defendants appeared pro se.
3. Items resolved by agreement: See attached Order.
4. Issues yet to be resolved: See attached Order.
5. The Plaintiff's (Grandmother's) position on custody is as follows: She has
been the primary caretaker of the child since the child was five (5) weeks old. She
does not believe that the Mother has the stability to take care of the child and believes
that the child's best interest is to remain with her primarily.
She also does not believe that her son, who is the Father, at this time is capable
of taking care of the child. She believes once the son gets more stabilized in his new
environment and job that he may have the ability to take care of the child on a full-time
basis.
6. The Defendant's (Mother's) position on custody is as follows: Mother does
not deny that the Grandmother has been the primary caretaker of the child. However,
she believes that because of the paternal Grandmother's advanced age that it is
appropriate for her to start taking care of the child primarily. She believes that the
Grandmother is depending a lot on the child's aunt to help her with the care taking and
she thinks that she is better suited to take care of the child.
Mother has relocated to North Carolina. Father also is in North Carolina.
Mother indicates that if she has primary custody that the Father shall have liberal
periods of custody with the child. She does not have any problems with the Father's
care taking.
Mother apparently works several jobs with her main job being from 8:00 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. She also has a second daughter who is twelve (12)
years old who lives with her primarily. She resides with a friend who is male and his
sister in North Carolina.
7. The Defendant's (Father's) position on custody is as follows: Father
suggests that he should be the primary custodial parent of the child. He believes that
the switch occur after the school year as does Mother. He believes that his situation
will stabilize and that he will be able to provide appropriate care taking for the child.
Father also lives in North Carolina approximately 28 miles away from Mother.
He has some concerns in regard to the Mother concerning her choice of paramours.
Apparently, the parties just separated in July.
8. Need for separate counsel to represent child: Neither party requested.
9. Need for independent psychological evaluation or counseling: None
requested and the Conciliator does not believe any is necessary.
10. A hearing in this matter will take one (1) day.
11. Other matters or comments: This is somewhat of an unusual case. The
Court was involved on an emergency basis and signed an Order dated September 20,
1999 because there were some concerns that the Mother was going to take the child
out-of-state. The parties did agree to an interim order pending the completion of the
school year, but differ dramatically on what should occur at the end of the school year.
The parties all agree that the paternal Grandmother has been the primary
caretaker of the child. Interestingly, however, both parents think that that should
cease at the end of the school year. Both parents are requesting that they be the
primary custodial parent.
There is clearly a great deal of animosity between the Grandmother and Mother.
There also seems to be some tension between the Father and the Mother. The
parents apparently moved to North Carolina with the child for a short of period of time
this last summer but the parties immediately broke up and the child then was returned
to live with the Grandmother.
The Grandmother clearly has been the primary parent in this child's life. The
Court will have to determine whether or not it is appropriate to switch that
arrangement now and if so, which parent should have the child. Both of the parents
live in North Carolina and therefore, any type of shared arrangement between
Grandmother and the parents will not work.

OATH RINE M. ROA NBBZd - R_ PR .-TRIAL MEMORANDUM
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Catherine M. Rosenberger, by her
attorney, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire, and provides the Court with
the following Pre-Trial Memorandum:
A. HISTORY OF THE CASE:
This is an action for custody involving the Child, Melinda
Shannon Rosenberger born July 2, 1992. ("the Child"). The parents,
of the Child are the defendants, Kevin L Rosenberger ("Father") and
Cindy L. Rosenberger ("Mother"). This action was filed by the
paternal grandmother, Catherine M. Rosenberger ("Paternal
Grandmother"), seeking confirmation of her primary custody of the
Child.
The Child is in the primary physical custody of the Paternal
Grandmother. The Child has been in that primary custody
arrangement since she was five (5) weeks old. This primary custody
arrangement has been in effect on a continuous basis since that
time with the exception of a three month period of time between
September 1998 and December 1998 when she lived with the Father and
Mother (for the month of September the Child lived with both
parents; for the months of October and December she lived with the
Father only), and a one and one half week time period between July
3, 1999 and July 10, 1999 when she temporarily lived with both
parents. This custody arrangement was entered into pursuant to an
oral agreement of the parties.
The parents of the Child are separated and have been separated
since July 11, 1999. Each of the parents have indicated their
desire to be designated the primary custodian of the Child
commencing as of the end of the current school year. The paternal
Grandmother does not feel that either parent has the current
capability to take care of the Child and therefore opposes any
transfer of custody of the child to either of them at this time or
at the end of the school year. She does feel, however, that if the
Court determines the Child should be in the custody of one of the
parents, then the child should be placed with Father rather than
Mother as Father is far more stable than mother is.
C. SLAY WITNESSES AND SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY:
1. a r in Ros nhPragr: Catherine will testify about the
history of the parties, the history of the custodial
situation, the stability of each of the parties, each of
the parties' parenting skills and the relationship of the
Child to each of the Child's immediate and extended
family members.
2. Janice Rush: Janice will testify about the history of the

E. PROPOSED RFSOT iTTON•
The Paternal Grandmother proposes that this court adopts the

provisions should be added requiring the proving of addresses and
phone numbers and requiring the Mother to be timely for each
visitation period and to call if she is not going to come.

AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Catherine M. Rosenberger, by her
attorney, Diane G. Radcliff, Esquire, and provides the Court with
the following Pre-Trial Memorandum:
A.
This is an action for custody involving the Child, Melinda
Shannon Rosenberger born July 2, 1992. ("the Child"). The parents
of the Child are the defendants, Kevin L Rosenberger ("Father") and
Cindy L. Rosenberger ("Mother"). This action was filed by the
paternal grandmother, Catherine M. Rosenberger ("Paternal
Grandmother"), seeking confirmation of her primary custody of the
Child.
The Child is in the primary physical custody of the Paternal
Grandmother. The Child has been in that primary custody
arrangement since she was five (5) weeks old. This primary custody
arrangement has been in effect on a continuous basis since that
time with the exception of a three month period of time between
September 1998 and December 1998 when she lived with the Father and
Mother (for the month of September the Child lived with both
parents; for the months of October and December she lived with the
Father only), and a one and one half week time period between July
3, 1999 and July 10, 1999 when she temporarily lived with both
parents. This custody arrangement was entered into pursuant to an
oral agreement of the parties.
The parents of the Child are separated and have been separated
since July 11, 1999. Each of the parents have indicated their
desire to be designated the primary custodian of the Child
commencing as of the end of the current school year. The paternal
Grandmother does not feel that either parent has the current
capability to take care of the Child and therefore opposes any
transfer of custody of the child to either of them at this time or
at the end of the school year. She does feel, however, that if the
Court determines the Child should be in the custody of one of the
parents, then the child should be placed with Father rather than
Mother as Father is far more stable than mother is.

Catherine M. Rosenberger by her attorney, Diane G. Radcliff,
Esquire and files the above referenced Petition and represents
that:
1. Your Petitioner is Catherine M. Rosenberger, ("the
Grandmother") an adult individual residing at 108 Bungalow
Road, Enola PA 17025 and is the paternal grandmother of the
minor child who is the subject of this action, Melinda Shannon
Rosenberger, born July 2, 1999, ("the Child").
2. Your Respondent, Cindy L. Rosenberger, ("the Mother"), is an
adult individual residing at 415 Calvery Court, Hillsboro, NC
27278 and is the mother of the Child.
3. Your Respondent, Kevin L. Rosenberger, ("the Father"), is an
adult individual residing at 902 A2 Park Ridge Road, Durham,
NC 27713 and is the father of the Child.
4. During the past seven years, the Child has resided with the
following persons and at the following addresses:
PERSONS ADDRESSES DATES
Grandmother 108 Bungalow Road 7-12-99
Enola, PA 17025 to
present
Father and Mother 902 A2 Park Ridge Road 7-3-99 to
Durham, NC 27713 7-11-99
Grandmother 106 Bungalow Road 12-23-98
Enola, PA 17025 to
7-3-99
Father and Mother Linda Lane 9-98 to
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 12-23-98
Grandmother 108 Bungalow Road 1992 to
Enola, PA 17025 9-98
5. As evidenced by the addresses set forth in the preceding
paragraph, the Child has resided with the Grandmother for the
past seven years with the exception of four (4) months in 1998
and one week in 1999.
6. Custody of the Child was returned to the Grandmother on July
11, 1999, following the marital separation of the Mother and
the Father, when the Mother left their marital residence to
live with another man, thereby leaving the Child in the care
and custody of the Father who then returned the Child to the
Grandmother.
7. The Grandmother instituted the within action on or about
August 18, 1999 by the filing of a Complaint in which she
sought confirmation of her custody of the Child.
8. The Father has agreed that the Grandmother shall have custody
of the Child as evidenced by the letter attached hereto,
marked Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof.
9. The Mother has filed a companion custody case pro se, docketed
to No. 99-5078, by the filing of a Complaint on or about
August 23, 1999, in which action she named the Father as a
Defendant but did not name the Grandmother as a Defendant.
10. At the time of the filing of her Complaint the Mother was
aware that the Child was in the custody of the Grandmother.
11. A custody conciliation conference has been scheduled on both
custody cases for October 14, 1999 at 2:00 p.m. before Michael
L. Bangs, Esquire, the custody conciliator.
12. Since the filing of the Compliant and on or about September
20, 1999, the Mother returned to Pennsylvania and went to the
Child's school and attempted to remove the Child from that
school so that she could take her to North Carolina where she
currently resides and has resided since July 1999.
13. The school officials have refused to turn the Child over to
the Mother and have contacted the Grandmother and informed her
to pick up the Child at the end of the school day.
14. The Grandmother fears that the Mother will attempt to gain or
actually gain physical custody of the Child and will remove
the Child from the Grandmother's custody prior to any
conciliation or hearing in this case and that if she is
successful in doing so the Mother will not return the Child to
the custody of the Grandmother and will not return to
Pennsylvania for the custody conciliation and hearing to be
scheduled in this case.
15. The Grandmother has been the primary caretaker of the Child
since her birth and it would be in her best interest for the
Child to remain in the Grandmother's primary care and custody
until final hearing in this case.
16. An emergency order is necessary due to the great risk that the
Child will be removed from the jurisdiction of this Court and
will not be returned for the conciliation conference and the
final hearing in this case or the companion case.
WHEREFORE, the Grandmother respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to enter an order granting the Grandmother temporary legal
and physical custody of the Child pending further order of this
Court and prohibiting the removal of the Child from Cumberland
County Pennsylvania pending such further order.

CIVIL ACTION-LAW
CUSTODY
REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE
AND NOW, this 7th day of February , 2000,
Mrs. Cindy L. Rosenberger of 614 Dumont Drive, Hillsborough, North
Carolina, 27278, does hereby respectively request a continuance from the
Honorable Judge Bayley of the Cumberland County Court of Common
Pleas, for the case of Rosenberger vs. Rosenberger court docket # 99-4909
due to be held on February 9, 2000 at 8:45 a.m. Upon the direct denial for
a continuance from the prosecuting attorney, Diane G. Radcliff, Mrs.
Rosenberger has had no option but to request this continuance from the court
On the following grounds:
1. The natural mother of the minor child Melinda Shannon Rosenberger,
age7: born July 2,1992, requires further time to locate witnesses and
evidence of actual residences of the child during the disputed times of
custody listed in the original court proceedings.
02JOB/2000 14;19 919-966-4180 UNC PSYCHIATRY BUSIN PAGE 02
2. To further allow Mrs. Rosenberger time to seek proper legal counsel and
representation due to the fact that neither the Pennsylvania Legal Aid
department cannot provide legal representation pro bono in this type of
case to a non-resident. The North Carolina Legal Aid department states
that they cannot represent pro bono on an out of state case.
3. To notify the court that there is now in effect a state of emergency within
the state of North Carolina, and that the county of Orange has been
declared a Disaster area, which restricts travel within the state due to the
recent inclimate weather, thereby making travel to Pennsylvania
hazardous.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests the court grant this Request for
Continuance.
Respectfully submitted,
CINDY L:'ROSENBERGER, prose
