As you recall, I represent Tasha Fernandez and you represent
Matthew Morgan in regard to the custody of Andrew. Although we
reached an agreement at the conciliation in September, it appears
that circumstances have changed significantly to result in a
modification of that order.
First of all, I understand that Mr. Morgan has started a new
job, and has only been seeing Andrew on a limited basis, on
alternating weekends from Friday until Sunday.
My client has also been informed that even though he is
limited to these weekends, he is not even around to spend any time
with Andrew. He either leaves Andrew in custody of his girlfriend
so that he can go out, or has asked other third parties, and not
my client, to care for Andrew.
If you review the Agreement, it provides that in the event
either party intends to remove the child from his or her residence
for an overnight period then advance notice should be given. This
has not been accomplished, and it just appears to my client that
Mr. Morgan may not be interested in having visitation with his son
any longer.

4. A follow-up telephone conference was held on January 22, 2004, between counsel for both
parties and the conciliator. As it was determined that the Father does not feel that an evaluation is
necessary and also due to financial constraints, counsel for the parties requested a hearing on the
Mother's Petition for Modification.
5. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother believes that she should have
custody of the Child when the Father is working the second shift at his employment on days on which
he would otherwise have custody under the existing schedule. The Mother also indicated that it would
be best for the Child to minimize pcriods of custody with the Father on school nights due to concerns
about the Child's bedtime and completion of homework.
6. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father would like to maintain the same
amount of custodial time that he has under the existing schedule and proposed an exchange of days to
better accommodate his work schedule. The Father denies that there is any problem with his school
night pcriods of custody. The Father also indicated that the paternal grandmother had been very
helpful in providing care for the Child when the Father has to work.
7. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing on the
Mother's Petition for Modification. It is expected that the hearing will require one-half to one full day.

IN CUSTODY
DEFENDANT:S
PRE-HEARING MEMORANDUM
AND NOW, conies the Defendant, MATTHEW MORGAN, by and through his
attorneys, Irwin & McKnight, and submits the following Pre-Hearing Memorandum:
HISTORY OF THE CASE
The panics in this action were never married, but are the natural parents of one minor
child, Andre Morgan, born March 31, 1997, and currently 7 years old. A prior Order of Court
was entered in this matter on or about September 20, 20(10, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A." The 2000 Order essentially granted Tasha Fernandez, now Tasha McClintock
("Mother"), primary physical custody of the parties' minor child. Matthew Morgan ("Father")
was granted partial physical custody to coincide with his work schedule at the time. Under the
Order attached as Exhibit "A," every other week Father had custody from Friday evening until
Tuesday morning, and then also from Monday evening until Tuesday morning on the alternating
weeks. This schedule provided Father with five (5) overnight periods within any two week
period. In addition to standard holiday periods of custody, Father was also entitled to two non-
consecutive weeks of custody cads summer.
Father work schedule has now changed. He currently works second shift every Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, from approximately 4:00 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. He is therefore off
every Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Father has consistently desired to alter the existing
Order to fit his new work schedule, while maintaining the same number of partial custody
periods as in the existing Order. Several options have been proposed to Mother and her legal
counsel, but to date the parties have been unable to reach an agreement.
A Conciliation Conference was held on September 20, 2003, with Dawn S. Sunday,
Esquire. The parties were unable to agree to a resolution, and a follow up telephone conference
was held on or about January 22, 2004. As the parties were still unable to agree to a revised
schedule, this matter has now been scheduled for hearing on April 22, 2004.
11. STATEMENT AS TO CUSTODY
Initially, it is instructive to define what Father is no seeking. He is not seeking primary
custody of Andruc Morgan. Nor is he seeking increased periods of partial custody. Father is
simply seeking similar periods of partial physical custody as in the existing 2000 Order, taking
into account his new work schedule.
Under the existing Order attached as Exhibit "A;" Father receives five (5) total overnights
within a two (2) week period. Father proposes a new schedule during the school year where he
would have custody of Andruc every Wednesday after school until Friday morning when Andrue
is returned to school. During the summers this period of time could be increased from
Wednesday morning until Friday afternoon when Father returns to work. In addition, Father
proposes having custody of Andrue every other weekend from Saturday morning until Sunday
afternoon when he returns to work. This proposed schedule takes into account Father's new
2
work schedule and actually maximizes the times that the panics arc able to spend with their son.
Mother's work schedule does not allow her to return home until several hours after Andrue is
finished with school on Wednesdays and Thursdays, whereas Father is not working at those
times. This proposed schedule also grants Father the same five (5) total ovcmights within any
two week period of time.
Mother's supposed objection to this proposal is her stated concern as to bedtime and
completion of homework. Mother has not provided any evidence of homework or school
difficulties during Father's periods of custody. To the contrary, Father's inquiries and meetings
with teachers and school officials have revealed no such issues.
Father further proposes to retain the same holiday and summer custody provisions as in
the original 2000 Order.
III.
Father anticipates calling the following persons as witnesses;
a. Matthew Morgan, rather, to testify about his relationship with his child and
parenting skills, and difficulties having Mother agree to a new Custody Order that
takes into account his changed work schedule;
b. Carolyn McConnell, paternal grandmother, to testify concerning the panics'
relationship and interaction with the minor child and their parenting skills;
C. Julie McClosky, Father's girlfriend, to testify about Father's relationship with his
child and parenting skills, and difficulties having Mother agree to a new Custody
Order that takes into account Father's changed work schedule.
Father reserves the right to call any witnesses identified by Mother, or to produce rebuttal
witnesses, specifically the current teacher of the minor child, Ms. Holly Hockenberry.
3
IV. CONCLUSION
Father respectfully seeks the entry of an Order of Court grunting him partial physical
custody of the minor child every Wednesday through Friday at the times referenced above, and
every other Saturday through Sunday at the times referenced above. Father further requests that
the existing holiday and summer vacation provisions of the Order attached as Exhibit "A" be
reaffirmed.
