CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, 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 DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Alexandria Shiann Darcy January 17, 1999 Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on March 26, 2008, with the following
individuals in attendance: the Mother, Ginger Zebel, with her counsel, Laurie A. Saltzgiver, Esquire.
The Father, John Charles Darcy, III, is presently incarcerated and was unable to attend the conference.
However, the Father's prison counselor contacted the conciliator the week prior to the conference to
make arrangements for the Father to call the conciliator's office to participate in the conference by
telephone. However, no call was received at the time of the conference from the Father or his
counselor.
3. The Mother filed this Petition for Modification seeking sole legal and physical custody of
the Child due to the Father's incarceration, beginning in December 2007, for a period of two to four
years. The Mother seeks to obtain counseling for the Child and requires sole legal custody so that she
can provide the necessary consent forms for this and other medical or counseling related issues as the
Father is unavailable for consultation at this time. The prior Order of this Court dated March 13, 2001
provided for the Mother to have primary physical custody of the Child with the Father having
alternating weekends. During the Father's last period of incarceration in 1999-2000, the custodial
arrangements were modified to grant the Mother sole legal and physical custody as well.
V
4. Based upon the representations of the Mother and her counsel during the conference and the
fact that the Father did not contact the conciliator's office by phone to participate in the conference, the
conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached, providing for the Father to obtain a review of
the custodial arrangements at the conclusion of his incarceration.
