IN CUSTODY
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, by his attorneys, MARTSON DEARDORFF WILLIAMS &
OTTO, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1915.13, and, in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. The children in question are Britton Douglas Weary born February 21, 1989 and
Devon Brian Weary bom July 21, 1990.
2. Plaintiff is the father of the children and resides at 850 Pine Road, Newville,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, which residence is in the Big Spring School District.
3. Defendant is the mother of the children and has resided at 201 York Street, Apt. #8,
Enola, Pennsylvania, which residence in the East Pennsboro Area School District.
4. Prior to August 1, 1999, both parties and the two children lived at the marital
residence located at 850 Pine Road, Newville, Pennsylvania.
5. On August 1, 1999, Defendant left the marital residence with the two children and
moved into her apartment described in Paragraph 3 above.
6. Defendant's leaving of the marital residence was with the consent of Plaintiff;
however, this was because of Defendant's promise that she was going to relocate to another place
within the Big Spring School District.
7. Both children are registered to start school in the Big Spring School District, where
the children have spent their entire education so far. Britton is scheduled to start fifth grade at the
Oak Flat Elementary School and Devon is scheduled to start fourth grade at the Oak Flat Elementary
School.
8. Plaintiff believes, and therefore avers, that Defendant has enrolled the children at the
East Pennsboro School District.
9. The parties, the children, and their families, have all lived in the Big Spring Area.
Plaintiff believes it would not be in the best interest of the children to change school districts, and
particularly not suddenly. Plaintiff has not been consulted by Defendant regarding this change, and
certainly has not given his consent.
10. Plaintiff has filed a Complaint for Custody which is pending. No conciliation
conference has yet been scheduled. Plaintiffs counsel has recently been advised by the attorney for
Defendant that Defendant also plans to file a Complaint for Custody.
11. The issue of custody cannot be resolved before school starts, which is:
a. Big Spring School District's first day for students: August 30, 1999.
b. East Pennsboro Area School District's first day for students:
September 7, 1999.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays Your Honorable Court to Order and Direct that the children
continue to attend the Big Spring School District until the custody issue is resolved.
