home at that time, and Defendant and the parties' daughter were not home, and Plaintiff was
denied this period of partial custody.
B. Plaintiff and Defendant had traded weekends for custody and agreed
that Plaintiff would have their daughter the weekend of September 17, 1999. When Plaintiff

was, in fact, at home when he came to pick her up, and Plaintiff was denied this period of partial
custody.
PETITION FOR MODIFICATION
OF CUSTODY ORDER
10. Plaintiff requests that the present Court Order pertaining to custody of the
aforesaid child be modified or clarified to include the following provisions:
A. With respect to the biweekly visitation, transportation should be
shared, such that Plaintiff picks up the child at Defendant's residence on Friday, and Defendant
picks up the child at Plaintiffs residence on Sunday. Defendant will not require Plaintiff to be
there when she picks up the child of the parties, but will pick up the child from Plaintiffs wife,
DEBORAH as well.

summer vacation. Unless the parties negotiate a different arrangement, they will each have
