ANSWER OF PLAINTIFF/RESPONDENT BUFFIE D. WEIAND TO
DEFENDANT/PETITIONER GENE R. WEIAND'S PETITION FOR
EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION OF MARITAL RESIDENCE
AND NOW comes Plaintiff/Respondent Buffie D. Weiand ("Wife"), who, by and
through her attorneys, Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire and Beckley & Madden, of Counsel,
files this Answer to Defendant/Petitioner Gene R. Weiand's ("Husband") Petition for
Exclusive Possession of Marital Residence, stating:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Denied as stated. Wife's actual moving date was April 7, 2007. By way
of further answer, the residence situated at 208 Edenderry Way, Enola, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania ("the Property") is jointly owned by Husband and Wife as tenants
by the entirety.
5. Denied as stated. Jacob Weiand, who is the parties' minor son, only
resides at the Property when he is in Husband's custody.
6. Denied as stated. Husband and Gabriel Weiand (who is not the parties'
son) have been residing at the Property since April 7, 2007. It is admitted that the
parties' son Jacob also resides at the Property when in his Father's custody.
7. Denied. Since Wife moved out of the Property, she has never returned
without Husband's knowledge. Wife has not removed anything from the Property that
the parties' did not agree to when they separated. In fact, Wife has only been back to the
Property twice since she moved out. About a week after she moved out, she returned to
get some things out of the shed. Husband was present and helped her move her things.
About three weeks after Wife moved out, she returned to the Property, specifically the
yard, to get some plant clippings. Husband was aware of this as she had informed him
before she went. Other than those two occasions, the only time Wife has been to the
Property is for custody exchanges of the parties' son Jacob at which Husband has always
been present. By way of further answer, after Wife left the Property Husband informed
her that he had changed the locks. Thus, upon information and belief, Wife has no way
to access her Property. Wife has never threatened to enter the Property forcibly, or to
damage the Property.
8. After reasonable investigation, Wife is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth or falsity of the averments of paragraph 8 of
Husband's petition, and demands strict proof thereof, if material, at the hearing of this
matter. By way of further response, Wife has not removed bills, copies of checks or
similar documents from the Property.
9. Denied. Wife has never made any of the statements attributed to her in
paragraph 9 of Husband's petition. By way of further answer, after Wife left the Property
Husband informed her that he had changed the locks. Thus, upon information and belief,
Wife has no way to access the Property.
10. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Husband and Wife
had an agreement concerning what items Wife would take with her when she moved. It
is denied that Wife has removed all of those items from the Property. There are still
some items at the Property that the parties agreed Wife would take but has not yet done
so because she will require the assistance of several people to obtain these items. As an
owner of the Property, Wife has the right to have access to the Property.
11. Denied. Wife is a joint owner of the Property. She has the legal right to
enter her property if she chooses to do so especially to ensure that it is being properly
maintained.
12. Denied. Husband's petition sets forth no legal basis upon which to grant
him sole possession of the Property as Wife has not damaged, harmed or devalued any
portion of the Property or its contents.
13. Admitted.
14. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Wife respectfully requests the Court to enter an Order dismissing
Husband's petition, and awarding Wife $1,000.00 in counsel fees incurred in responding
thereto, and such other and further general relief which the Court deems appropriate.
NEW MATTER
15. Wife owns the Property jointly with Husband.
16. As a joint owner, Wife has the legal right to enter the Property.
17. Husband has not leased the Property, and no writing or agreement exists
which limits Wife's right to enter her Property.
18. Husband's petition sets forth no legal basis upon which to grant him sole
possession of the Property.
19. Husband's petition fails to set forth a basis upon which relief may be
granted.
WHEREFORE, Wife respectfully requests the Court to enter an Order dismissing
Husband's Petition, and awarding Wife $1,000.00 in Counsel fees incurred in responding
thereto, and such other and further general relief which the Court deems appropriate.

Petitioner's, and otherwise disrupted Petitioner by entering the home. The Court has the
A

determined by a mutually selected therapist with a goal of establishing a co-parenting plan that
gives them some type of uniform decision regarding co-parenting issues like completion of
school work and bedtimes in order to try to provide some consistencies for the minor child. This
co-parenting therapy shall be utilized to develop a plan that takes into consideration those issues
that are important for uniformity for the child regardless of which house he is currently
physically residing and for identifying areas that can be more flexible related to each parent's
individual parenting style. Co-parenting costs shall be divided equally between the parties and
the parties shall utilize any insurance coverage that may be available to either party. Any non-
covered cost should be divided equally between the parties. Both parents are also encouraged to
utilize the parent education and co-parenting classes to help them understand what is expected
from each of them in terms of promoting a positive relationship between the minor child and the
other parent despite the level of conflict that may exist between the parties.
15. MODIFICATION:
The parties are free to modify the terms of this Order if and only if both parties
are in complete agreement to any such modification and said modification is in writing signed by
both parties. In the event both parties are not in complete agreement to any proposed change,

gets off work if it is a scheduled work day, until Monday morning drop off at school or
daycare. If there is no school on one of Father's Mondays, he shall have the right, at his
option, to keep the child until Mother is home from work on Monday evening(s); and
b. Father shall also have one evening a week overnight from after
school or daycare until drop off at school or daycare the next morning. If al all possible,
Father's additional one evening per week of partial custody should consistently be
Thursday and Father should do everything possible with his work schedule to create
consistency and predictability for the child. If however Thursday evening is not possible
given Father's work schedule, then Father shall pick an evening as close to Thursday as
possible based on his work schedule and provide Mother with reasonable notice of said
selections.
(July 24, 2008, Custody Order, ¶ ¶ 3 a. 1 and 2).
5. During the summer school vacation, the parties share physical custody on
a 50150 basis.
6. The Order clearly defines "weekends" as from after school on Friday until
Monday morning.
7. Father has a six-week work schedule which he has indicated has not
changed since the current custody order was agreed to by the parties and put in place. A
true and correct copy of Father's work schedule which was prepared by Father is attached
2
hereto marked as Exhibit B and incorporated herein.
8. During Father's six-week work schedule he is scheduled to work several
Thursdays; however, during the weeks in which he works on Thursdays, he has several
other weeknight evenings that he is not scheduled to work during which he could take his
weeknight visitation, but he refuses to do so.
9. Since the July 24, 2008, Order went into effect, Father has taken 3 Friday
evenings of Mother's weekend custodial periods as his one weeknight overnight per week
without Mother's consent, thus interfering with Mother's custodial weekends.
10. Mother has told Father multiple times that she will not agree to Father
taking Friday evening of her custodial weekends as his one weeknight overnight
visitation.
11. Mother's counsel also faxed Father's counsel a letter on August 18, 2008,
indicating that Mother would not agree to Father taking Mother's custodial Fridays as his
weeknight visitation during that week. A true and correct copy of Mother's counsel's
August 18, 2008, letter is attached hereto marked as Exhibit C and incorporated herein.
12. Despite Mother's disagreement, Father has taken Friday evenings of
Mother's custodial weekends by taking the child from his daycare on August 29, 2008,
September 26, 2008 and October 10, 2008, all of which were Friday evenings of
Mother's custodial weekends.
13. On all three Fridays that Father took the child during Mother's custodial
periods, Father went to work the following morning, but Father refused to return the child
3
to Mother's residence which is only approximately 3 miles from Father's place of
employment. Father also refused to allow Mother to pick up the child at Father's
employer. Instead, Mother had to drive 50 miles round trip to retrieve her child whom
Father took from daycare the preceding day without Mother's consent.
14. When Father has taken the child from daycare without Mother's consent
during her custodial weekends, the child has not had his prescription medication on these
Friday evenings.
15. Father has also failed and refused to follow the regimen set up for the
child by the child's allergist.
16. On August 27, 2008, Mother took the child to the allergist and provided
Father a full report on what the child is allergic to and what should be avoided. Mother
also sent Father a copy of the Allergen Avoidance Information sheet given to her by the
child's allergist. A true and correct copy of the Allergen Avoidance Information sheet is
attached hereto marked as Exhibit D and incorporated herein.
17. Regardless of the allergist's recommendation, Father has had the child
riding horses which involve the grasses that the child is supposed to avoid. Father has
also had the child sleeping in a home in the country with the windows open which is
again directly contrary to the Doctor's instructions.
19. Rather than include Mother in the decision of the child's extracurricular
activities as is provided for in the parties' current custody order, Father unilaterally
decided to disregard the allergist's recommendation and expose the child to things which
should be avoided which caused the child a lot of discomfort and interfered with the
4
current medication regimen.
20. Father has violated, and Mother believes Father will continue to violate,
the Court's July 24, 2008, Custody Order by: (a) unilaterally taking his weekly overnight
period of partial custody during Mother's custodial weekend, thereby interfering with and
partially depriving Mother of her custodial weekend; and (b) by refusing to consult with
Mother concerning the child's activities and sleeping arrangements, thereby exacerbating
the child's allergy problems.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Petitioner, Buffie D. Weiand, respectfully requests the
Court to enter an Order: (1) holding Defendant/Respondent in Civil Contempt for
Disobedience of the Custody Order; (2) directing Defendant/Respondent to comply with
the Court's July 24, 2008, Custody Order; (3) ordering Defendant/Respondent to pay
Plaintiff/Petitioner's counsel fees and costs incurred in filing this Petition; and (4)
awarding to Plaintiff/Petitioner such other and further relief which the Court deems
appropriate.

t?\ COURT ORDER
?'`°
AND NOW, this day of July 2008, upon consideration of the attached Custody
Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed that:
1. The prior Order of Court dated October 2, 2007 is hereby VACATED.
2. LEGAL CUSTODY:
The Father, Gene R. Weiand and Mother, Buffie D. Weiand shall have shared
legal custody of the minor child, Jacob W. Weiand, born on October 26, 2000. Each parent shall
have an equal right to be exercised jointly with the other parent to make all major non-
emergency decisions affecting the child's general well-being including but not limited to all
decisions regarding his health, education, welfare and religion. Both parties specifically agree
that all major parenting decisions concerning their child shall be made by them jointly after
discussion and consultation with each other with a view of obtaining and following a harmonious
policy in the child's best interest. Each party agrees not to impair the other party's right to share
legal custody of the child. Each party agrees not to attempt to alienate the child from the other
party. Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance concerning the child
which could be reasonably expected to be a concern to the other.
Day to day decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent then having physical
custody of the child. With regard to any emergency decisions which must be made, the parent
having physical custody of the child at the time of the emergency shall be permitted to make any
immediate decisions necessitated thereby, however, that parent shall inform the other of the
2
emergency and consult with him or her as soon as possible under the particular circumstances.
Pursuant to the terms of 23 Pa.C.S. section 5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and
information pertaining to the child including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or
school records, the residence address and telephone number of the child and of the other parent.
It is specifically understood that each parent shall be entitled to complete and full information
from any school, doctor, dentist, teacher, professional or authority and have copies of any reports
given to either party as parent. It is specifically agreed that the parent having physical custody
during the school year shall assure that the other parent receives all school records, report cards,
school pictures, parent/teacher conferences notices in a timely fashion such that the other party
can meaningfully participate, school activity calendar and any other information in a timely basis
during the school year. To the extent one parent has possession of any such records or
information by virtue of the actual physical custody schedule being followed, that parent shall be
required to share the same or copies thereof with the other parent, regardless if the custodial
parent deems it important or not, within such reasonable time as to make the records or
information of reasonable use to the other parent.
3. PHYSICAL CUSTODY: Physical Custody of the minor child shall be as follows:
3a. PHYSICAL CUSTODY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR:
During the school year, Mother shall have primary physical custody of
Jacob, and Father shall have partial physical custody at such times set
forth below:
I . On alternating weekends from after school Friday, or when Father gets
off work if it is a scheduled work day, until Monday morning drop off at
school or daycare. In the event there is no school on one of Father's Mondays,
he shall have the right, at his option, to keep the child until Mother is home
from work on said Monday evening(s); and
2. Father shall also have one evening a week from after school or daycare
until drop off at school or daycare the next morning. If at all possible,
Father's additional one evening per week of partial custody
should consistently be Thursday and Father should do everything
3
possible with his work schedule to create consistency and
predictability for the child. If however Thursday evening is not
possible given Father's work schedule, then Father shall pick an
evening as close to Thursday as possible based on his work schedule
and provide Mother with reasonable notice of said selections.
3b. PHYSICAL CUSTODY DURING SUMMER SCHOOL VACATION:
During summer school vacation the parties shall have shared physical
custody of Jacob as set forth in the attached October 2, 2007 physical custody
schedule in Paragraph 2 of said Order. It is specifically understood that under
Father's current work schedule, he receives a six week work schedule and that
the parties shall share 50150 physical custody time of the minor child
Jacob during the summer months. The summer vacation shall start the day
after the last day of school and end seven days before the start of the new
school year.
3c. PARENTS' SUMMER VACATION WITH CHILD:
Not withstanding the foregoing, each parent shall have the right to
have physical custody of Jacob for two (2) non-consecutive one week periods
of summer vacation with the child, said period of time shall not include the
other parents weekend unless specific written permission to usurp the other
parents weekend is granted in writing at least 14 days prior to the exercising of
said one week custody period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both parties
acknowledge that traditional summer rentals run from Saturday to Saturday or
Sunday to Sunday, so if a party selects such a vacation with the child, then the
other party shall cooperate and permit said vacation period which shall be
reciprocated by the vacationing party.
3d. SUMMER 2008:
It is specifically agreed for the summer of 2008 that the parties shall
exercise at minimum the following specific periods of vacation with the child:
1. Mother shall have physical custody of Jacob from July 5, 2008, at

6:30 a.m. through July 25, 2008. Father shall return the child to
Mother by delivering the child to summer camp on July 28, 2008, at
6:30 a.m., on her next regularly scheduled day of physical custody
pursuant to the current schedule the parties are following.
3. In consideration of Mother and Father agreeing to the two afore listed
weeks of vacation for the respective parties, Father agrees to give
Mother one of "his" days of summer custody of Jacob which shall be
exercised on July 30, 2008.
It is specifically understood that neither parent shall select

Thanksgiving, Christmas Segment A, Christmas Segment B, Easter and Memorial Day,
commencing with Mother having custody of the child on July 4, 2008. Unless specifically noted

holiday shall be exercised from noon on December 24th until noon on December 25x' and
Christmas Segment B shall be exercised from noon on December 25`h until noon on December

alternating schedule. Father shall have Segment A of Christmas commencing in 2008, and
Mother shall have Segment B in 2008 in all even calendar years thereafter. Father shall have
Segment B in all odd calendar years. Not withstanding the foregoing, Father shall always have

have custody of the child on Mother's Day from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. unless both parents
mutually agree to switch due to work schedules.
5
S. TRANSPORTATION:
The transportation shall be shared equally between the parties as mutually
determined by the parties. In the event the parties are unable to agree to transportation
responsibilities, then the party receiving custody of the child shall travel to get the child from the
other parent or school or daycare as long as neither party moves more than 20 miles from his or
her current residence.
6. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL:
Both parties specifically agree to provide to the non-custodial parent the right of
first refusal if the custodial parent is not available for an overnight as set forth in the custody
schedule. Both parties agree that the child spending an overnight or visit with family relatives
shall not be construed as a violation of this paragraph.
7. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:

any extracurricular activities. Each party shall provide the other party with at least 48 hours
advanced notice of the child's school or other activities whenever possible. Both parties agree to
honor and participate in the activities in which the child wishes to engage. During the time each
parent has physical custody of the child each parent will make certain the child attends any
extracurricular activities. The parties further agree to be supportive of the activities and agree

that are schedule at such a time so that the child is able to participate in those events. Neither
parent shall commit the child to activities that fall on the other parent's period of custody without
the consent of the other parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the child is
involved in an activity which occurs during both parents' periods of custody, both parents shall
cooperate in providing transportation of the child to the activity. However the custodial parent
shall not be required to take the child to that activity if the custodial parent and the child are out
of town during that activity for a previously scheduled vacation. If the custodial parent is unable
to deliver the child to the particular activity, the parent who has custody of the child at that time

designated activity. The custodial parent shall make sure that the child is ready for pick up in
time sufficient to enable the child to timely attend the activity.
6
8. TELEPHONE CALLS:

child and each party shall refrain from preventing the other party from talking to the child when
he or she calls, or in preventing the child from calling the other party, provided that the calls are
not excessively frequent, not too long in duration or at inappropriate times such that they disrupt
the child's schedule. It is understood that there is no designated time frame for the daily call,
both parties acknowledge that 7:00 p.m. is the preferred time to place calls to try to assure
availability and consistency in contact.

9. DISPARAGING REMARKS:
The parties and any third parties in the presence of the child shall take all
measures deemed necessary to foster a feeling of affection between the child and the other party.
Neither party shall do nor shall either party permit any third party to do or say anything which
may estrange the child from the other parent, their spouse, significant others or relatives, or
injure the child's opinion of the other party or which may hamper the free and natural
development of the child's love and respect for the other parent. Neither party shall make or
permit others to make disparaging remarks about the other parent in the presence of the child. It
is cautioned that since the child is almost eight (8) years old at this time, that no dialogue about
the divorce, custody, or other issues related to the child or the parents be discussed within
hearing distance of the child. The parties shall not use the child to convey verbal messages to the
other parent about custody, divorce, support or any other such matters including any changes in
the custody schedule, nor shall either party provide the child with any written communication to
deliver to the other parent except for school paperwork and event activities. Both parents
specifically are prohibited from using the child as a messenger to communicate with the other
parent.
10. MUTUAL CONSULTATION:
Each party shall confer with the other on all matters of importance relating to the
7
child's health, maintenance and education with a view towards obtaining and following a

excluding any current daycare provider, relatives or public school institutions.
11. ILLNESS OF THE CHILD:
Emergency decisions regarding the child shall be made by the parent then having
custody however, in the event of an emergency or serious illness of the child at any time, any
party then having custody of the child shall immediately communicate with the other party by
telephone or any other means practical informing the other -party of the nature of the illness or
emergency as soon as practical, so the other party can become involved in the decision making
process as soon as possible. The term "serious illness" as used herein shall mean any disability
which confines the child to bed for a period in excess of 24 hours or which places the child under
the direction of a licensed physician and/or also includes any emergency treatment requiring a
visit to a hospital, orthopedic office or other medical specialist.
12. WELFARE OF THE CHILD TO BE CONSIDERED:
The welfare and convenience of the child shall be the prime consideration of the
parties in any application of the provisions of this Stipulation and subsequent Court Order. Both
parties shall always place the best interest of the child first in addressing any issues concerning
the custodial schedule and requested changes to the schedule or any other parenting issues.

illegal substances when in the presence of the child and no party shall be under the influence of
alcoholic beverages to excess or be under the influence of any illegal substances when in the
presence of the child.
14. CO-PARENTMG/PARALLEL PARENTING COUNSELING:
Both parties agree to participate in parallel parenting or co-parenting therapy as
determined by a mutually selected therapist with a goal of establishing a co-parenting plan that
gives them some type of uniform decision regarding co-parenting issues like completion of
school work and bedtimes in order to try to provide some consistencies for the minor child. This
co-parenting therapy shall be utilized to develop a plan that takes into consideration those issues
that are important for uniformity for the child regardless of which house he is currently
physically residing and for identifying areas that can be more flexible related to each parent's
individual parenting style. Co-parenting costs shall be divided equally between the parties and
the parties shall utilize any insurance coverage that may be available to either party. Any non-
covered cost should be divided equally between the parties. Both parents are also encouraged to
utilize the parent education and co-parenting classes to help them understand what is expected
from each of them in terms of promoting a positive relationship between the minor child and the
other parent despite the level of conflict that may exist between the parties.
15. MODIFICATION:
The parties are free to modify the terms of this Order if and only if both parties
are in complete agreement to any such modification and said modification is in writing signed by
both parties. In the event both parties are not in complete agreement to any proposed change,
then the terms of this Court Order shall control and remain in full force and effect until modified
by the Court.

RE: Weiand v. Weiand
Dear JoAnne:
As you know, my client shall have primary physical custody of the parties' Jacob
with the start of the school year. The Order provides that Gene shall have every other
weekend Friday until Monday and one evening a week - to be Thursday whenever
possible or, if his schedule doesn't permit Thursdays, then an evening close to Thursday.
Unfortunately, Gene has misinterpreted the Custody Order and the intent of the
same. As we're all aware, the parties have always alternated weekends. The Court
generally defines weekends as going from Friday until Sunday evening. Gene has now
decided that Friday is not part of the weekend when it's Buffie's weekend (since we
didn't specifically spell it out that way in the custody order) with Jacob such that he is
trying to take her Friday night as his week night visitation. Obviously, this is
unacceptable to Buffie and she will not agree to the same.
Even in the most basic of custody orders, the Court usually always provides each
party every other weekend from Friday to Sunday.
Please inform Gene that what was intended by Deb Salem is that we follow
Gene's regular 6 week based work schedule. We will not agree to the various changes
Gene makes to the same to pick up extra shifts for overtime or to switch with coworkers.
Gene needs to arrange his work schedule around his custody schedule, whenever
possible, and not the other way around.
The recent schedule Gene sent Buffie via email is very confusing to follow if you
follow the order the days are listed it seems to show different weeks per the schedule.
Nevertheless, Buffie does not mind at all providing Gene a week night when he is
BECKLEY& MADDEN

legitimately scheduled to work Thursday evenings (not overtime or time he decide to
change with a coworker); however, the week night evening will not include Friday of
Buffie's weekend.
Therefore, would you be kind enough to instruct Gene that he can not have Friday
evenings on Buffie's weekend as his make-up week night custody.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

ANSWER TO PETITION FOR CIVIL CONTEMPT
AND NOW, this day of November, 2008, comes the Defendant/Respondent Gene
R. Weiand by and through his attorney, Joanne Harrison Clough, Esquire, and files this Answer to
Petition for Civil Contempt and in opposition thereto avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted in part. It is admitted that the paragraph 3A1 defines Father's alternating
weekend from after school Friday, or when Father gets off work if it is a scheduled work day, until
Monday morning drop off at school or daycare.
7. Admitted.
8. Admitted in part. It is admitted that during Father's six week work schedule, he has
several other week evenings that he is not scheduled to work; however, the July 24, 2008 Court
Order specifically directs Father to take his one additional night a week as close to Thursday as
possible. Father is complying with the terms of the current Order.
9. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted since the July 24, 2008 Court Order
went in to effect, Father has selected several Friday evenings for his additional one overnight a
week pursuant to the terms of the Court Order. It is specifically denied that he needs Mother's
consent. To the contrary, he is simply exercising his custodial rights under the Order.
10. Admitted in part. It is admitted Mother has repeatedly told Father that she will not
agree to Father taking Friday evening of "her custodial weekend". Father does not need Mother's
permission to exercise his custodial rights. Furthermore, Mother has acted in a vengeful and
vexatious manner through out the entire custody litigation and is constantly interfering with
Father's custodial rights to the minor child.
11. Admitted in part. It is admitted that a correspondence was faxed to Father's
counsel; it is specifically denied that Father's behavior violates the current Custody Order.
12. Admitted in part. It is admitted that Father has exercised his one additional evening
of custody on the Friday evenings of August 29, 2008, September 26, 2008 and October 10, 2008;
Father specifically denies he needed Mother's agreement to do so.
13. Admitted in part. It is admitted that Father worked the Saturday following the three
periods of Father's additional overnight visitation; however, it is denied that it was inappropriate
for Father to refuse to drive the child to Mother for the following reasons:
a. Father leaves for work at approximately 6:15 in the morning and it is
unnecessary to wake the child this early simply to accommodate Mother's desire that she not have
2
to fulfill her obligation under Paragraph 5 of the Agreement dealing with transportation which
specifically dictates that unless agreed otherwise the party receiving the child shall pick the child
up for their period of custody.
b. It is not appropriate for Mother to pick the child up in the parking lot at
Father's place of employment since Mother and/or her other transport providers are notoriously
late and have consistently never met Father in a timely fashion at an exchange and an exchange at
work can not be effective when Father needs to start his work shift. He can not leave the child
unattended until Mother bothers to show up for the custody exchange. In fact on several occasions
where Father has elected to exercise his additional one week overnight on Friday evening Mother
has repeatedly given Father false information regarding time of pick up, insisting the child be
ready by 6:15 or 6:30 a.m. for pick up and then not coming or sending anyone to pick the child up
till after 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. that same morning. On one occasion Mother and/or her designate
illegally entered Father's home, woke the child and removed him from the home without notifying
Father's fiancd, so that when the fiance woke, the child was missing and no one had any idea
where he was.
Paragraph 5 of the Custody Order specifically dictates that it is the receiving
party's responsibility to pick the child up for their period of custody.
14. Admitted. It is specifically admitted Mother has refused to provide the prescription
medication for the child at daycare on Friday despite Father advising Mother he had selected that
night to exercise his period of partial custody. Mother has consistently refused to send the
medication despite Father's repeated request that the proper medication be sent for the time period
that he would have physical custody of the child. It is appalling that Mother believes that she has
the legal right to withhold medication from her son because she and Defendant dispute the
interpretation of the Custody Order.
15. Denied. It is specifically denied that Father has refused to follow the regimen set
up for the child by the child's allergist. To the contrary, ever since Father became engaged and
moved in to a residence with his fiance on a farm, Mother has taken any and all actions she can to
thwart and interfere with her son's relationship with Father and the fiance by claiming numerous
allergy issues in an attempt to prevent the child from living on the farm, riding horses, or otherwise
meaningfully participate with his Father or fiance and her family in activities.
16. Admitted in part. It is admitted that Mother took the child to an allergist and it is
further admitted that Mother gave Father some information. It is specifically denied that the child
is exposed to any dangerous allergens while in the Father's care and custody.
17. Admitted in part. It is admitted that the child is an active child and rides horses. It
is specifically denied that the child should not be riding horses which as Mother alleges in her
Petition, "involves the grasses that the child is supposed to avoid". To the contrary, the child is
enrolled in and participates in a soccer program which is played on grass fields. The parties
previously resided with the child in a wetlands area and the child played outside constantly at said
home. Mother's complaint regarding this issue is preposterous and is a further indication of the
vengeful, hateful nature in which she continues to try to interfere in any positive interaction her
son has with his Father. It is further denied that Father is acting inappropriately in the sleeping
arrangements for the child at Father's residence.
19 Denied. It is specifically denied that Father needs Mother's consent for the child to
ride horses or play in the grass during his periods of physical custody. The horse activity the child
4
does with Father is on Father's time and is not a regimented "extracurricular activity" that warrants
Mother's approval.
20. Denied. It is specifically denied that Father has violated and continues to violate
the July 24, 2008 Custody Order. Father's interpretation of the Custody Order permits that he may
select one additional evening per week for an overnight with the child on Thursdays, when ever
possible due to his work schedule, and if not possible, as close to Thursday as possible. In the
event the Court interprets the Order differently than Father has, then Father will comply with the
Court's instruction; however, has been no attempt on Father's part to act contrary to or in violation
of the Court Order. On Father's alternating weekends of custody, he frequently is scheduled to
work Friday and can not start his weekend of custody until after 8:00.p.m.
WHERFORE, Defendant/Responent Gene Weiand respectfully requests this Court to deny
this Petition for Civil Contempt for Disobedience of a Custody Order Pursuanat to PA.R.C.P.
1915.12 and further find that the filing of said Petition was frivolous, spurious, and vexatious and
direct Plaintiff/Petitioner to pay all of Defendant/Respondent's counsel fees, costs and expenses
incurred in defending against such Petition.
CROSS PETITION FOR CONTEMPT FOR DISOBEDIENCE OF CUSTODY ORDER
21. Paragraphs 1 through 20 are incorporated by reference as if set forth in full here
below.
22. Since the entry of the July 24, 2008 Court Order, Plaintiff/Petitioner Buffie Weiand
has acted in contempt of said Court Order on numerous occasions as follows:
5
a. On October 11, 2008 at approximately 7:00 a.m., Plaintiff/Petitioner Buffie
Weiand went unannounced to the residence of Defendant Father and secretly removed the minor
child, Jacob Weiand, age 7, from Defendant Father's residence while Defendant Father's fiance
was sleeping. Plaintiff Mother never woke Father's fiance or left a note indicating she had secretly
removed Jacob from the residence nor telephoned to leave a message indicating she had picked up
the child two hours prior to the arranged pick up time. When Father's fiance, Karen awoke at 8:15
a.m., in response to the alarm clock, she discovered Jacob was not in his bedroom, nor in the
house, and Father's fianc6 went outside and searched with her two children for Jacob and after
several minutes discovered the minor child's pajamas in a pile on the sidewalk by the driveway.
b. When Father's fiance telephoned him immediately at work and
frantically reported that Jacob was missing. Defendant Father immediately called Plaintiff Mother
who laughed and stated "I told you I'd get him by 7:30 a.m., it was easy". Mother's behavior is
severely disturbing and in clear violation of Father's period of physical custody.
On repeated instances since the entry of the July 24, 2008 Custody
Order, Plaintiff Mother has refused to provide Father with the child's allergy medications for his
periods of partial physical custody despite Father's repeated request that the proper medications
and the proper dosages be forwarded. Said behavior is in direct violation of the best interest and
permanent welfare of the minor child and also in direct violation of the shared legal custody
provisions of the July 24, 2008 Custody Order and said action is contemptible.
d. Despite Father's repeated request that proper medications be sent, Mother
spitefully and vexatiously refuses to send the child's allergy medications on the "disputed" Fridays
where Father has advised Mother he will be picking Jacob up to exercise his additional one week
overnight pursuant to the July 24, 2008 Custody Order. Mother refuses to provide the medication
6
although Father has notified her that he is going to pick the child up for a period of physical
custody and then Mother has the audacity to claim in her Petition for Contempt that it is Father that
is in contempt of court by not having medication for Jacob on these Fridays when she has refused
to provide it.
When Father recently requested Mother provide additional allergy
medication because she had only given him three allergy pills for an approximate 30 day period,
Mother spitefully mailed Father pills in a large manilla envelope by Certified Mail in a plastic
baggie without any attempt to protect or preserve said medication so it arrived severely damaged
through the United States Postal Service.
f. Mother has also violated the spirit of the Custody Order by refusing to
provide Father with appropriate clothes for the minor child during Father's periods of partial
physical custody. Mother repeatedly sends the child in clothes that are too tight or in bad
condition or wholly inappropriate for the period of custodial time. Father believes and therefore
avers that Mother purposely sends clothes that are too small, old, tattered, or not appropriate, in a
spiteful manner so as to inconvenience Father during his periods of partial physical custody.
23. Said actions on Mother's part are further evidence of her hateful, despicable
behavior she continues to display to Father in all custody issues regarding their son.
24. Father believes that Mother's behavior with the minor child are also not in the best
interest or permanent welfare of his son Jacob in that Mother has the minor child sleeping in bed
with her or in a toddler bed in her bedroom at her townhouse, which is clearly not in the best
interest or permanent welfare of the child. Mother purchased a three bedroom townhouse were the
child shares the Mother's bedroom and she has her adult son has one bedroom and her seventeen
year old daughter has the other bedroom. The minor child Jacob does not even share a bedroom
7
with his brother; he shares a bedroom and a bed with his Mother. This is completely inappropriate
and not in the best interest or permanent welfare of the child.
25. Mother hatefully and spitefully interfered in Father's birthday party that he had for
his son at his residence when several parents inadvertently contacted Plaintiff Mother to respond to
Defendant Father's birthday invitation. She informed those parents that the invitation was a
mistake and that that party was not being held and gave them information on her party in a direct
attempt to try to spoil or interfere with Father's birthday plans for their son.
26. Subsequent to the party one of the other parents at Father's birthday party took
approximately 60 pictures of the children playing at the farm, riding the horses and made a
birthday party disc for Defendant Father and made a second copy and gave it to Plaintiff Mother.
27. Plaintiff Mother has subsequently advised the minor child that he is forbidden to
watch the CD of the photos of his Father's birthday part at his Mother's home. This is clearly
detrimental to the child and not in his best interest and permanent welfare and further indication of
Mother's vengeful, spiteful, hateful behavior and it's affect on the child.
28. All of the afore listed behaviors of Mother are in direct violation of the Custody
Order of July 24, 2008. Plaintiff Mother is in clear violation of Paragraph 2, Legal Custody, which
specifically provides that the parties agree not to impair the other party's right to share in legal
custody of the child and each party agrees not to attempt to alienate the child from the other party.
29. Mother is in direct violation of Paragraph 3A2 of the Custody Agreement by
secretly removing the minor child from Father's residence during his one additional evening a
week period of physical custody and not even leaving a note or making sure the adult at the
residence was notified that she was removing the child and then laughing at Father and mocking
him when he called in a panic upon his fiance discovering the child missing and his pajamas in the
driveway.
30. Plaintiff Mother's behavior is in direct violation of Paragraph 9 of the Custody
Agreement which specifically provides that party's "shall take all measures deemed necessary to
foster a feeling of affection between the child and the other party".
31. On October 11, 2008 when Mother secretly removed the child from Father's
residence, she specifically directed the child "you don't have to tell Karen, it's ok I already told
daddy" and encouraged the child to leave the residence without letting anyone know he was going.
32. Mother has also acted in contempt of Paragraphs 8, 9 and 12 of the Custody Order
by insisting on telephone contact with the child during periods of time that are inappropriate
including a recent occasion on Friday, October 10, 2008, when she telephoned Defendant Father's
cell phone when he was at Northern Heights football game with Jacob and insisted Defendant
Father remove the child from the football stadium to an area where he could hear to speak with his
Mother on a telephone call which resulted in the child missing the ceremony at the start of the
football game.
33. Plaintiff Mother frequently hysterically threatens Father to file Contempt Petitions
if he does not immediately comply with her demanding overbearing requests for incessive contact
with the child during Father's periods of custody.
WHEREFORE, Counter Petitioner/Defendant/Respondent Father respectfully requests this
Court determine Plaintiff Mother/ Counter Respondent to be contempt of the Custody Order of
July 24, 2008 and order as follows:
a. Mother shall be directed to pay any and all Father's counsel fees, costs and
expenses in defending against her spurious Petition for Contempt;
9
b. Direct Mother to immediately comply with the provisions of the Custody
Order and to provide appropriate clothes to Father during his periods of physical custody and to
provide medication to Father in a safe manner so as to be assured the child has appropriate
medication during Father's periods of custody and;
C. Direct Mother continue with co-parent counseling and direct Mother to
attend Anger Management and individual mental health counseling to deal with her emotional
issues that are clearly impacting against her ability to comply with the Custody Order or to act in a
manner consistent with the best interest and permanent welfare of her child;
d. Grant any further relief this Court deems appropriate.

Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed that:
1. All prior Orders of Court entered in this matter are hereby VACATED and replaced with
this Order. By agreement, Plaintiff's petition for contempt is hereby DISMISSED.
2. LEGAL CUSTODY:
The Father, Gene R. Weiand and Mother, Buffie D. Weiand shall have shared legal
custody of the minor child, Jacob W. Weiand, born on October 26, 2000. Each parent
shall have an equal right to be exercised jointly with the other parent to make all major
non-emergency decisions affecting the child's general well-being including but not
limited to all decisions regarding his health, education, welfare and religion. Both parties
specifically agree that all major parenting decisions concerning their child shall be made
by them jointly after discussion and consultation with each other with a view of obtaining
and following a harmonious policy in the child's best interest. Each parry agrees not to
impair the other party's right to share legal custody of the child. Each party agrees not to
attempt to alienate the child from the other parry. Each party shall notify the other of any
activity or circumstance concerning the child which could be reasonably expected to be a
concern to the other.
Day to day decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent then having physical
custody of the child. With regard to any emergency decisions which must be made, the
parent having physical custody of the child at the time of the emergency shall be
permitted to make any immediate decisions necessitated thereby, however, that parent
shall inform the other of the emergency and consult with him or her as soon as possible
under the particular circumstances. Pursuant to the terms of 23 Pa.C.S. section 5309,
each parent shall be entitled to all records and information pertaining to the child
including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school records, the residence
address and telephone number of the child and of the other parent. It is specifically
understood that each parent shall be entitled to complete and full information from any
school, doctor, dentist, teacher, professional or authority and have copies of any reports
2
l
given to either party as parent. It is specifically agreed that the parent having physical
custody during the school year shall assure that the other parent receives all school
records, report cards, school pictures, parent/teacher conferences notices in a timely
fashion such that the other party can meaningfully participate, school activity calendar
and any other information in a timely basis during the school year. To the extent one
parent has possession of any such records or information by virtue of the actual physical
custody schedule being followed, that parent shall be required to share the same or copies
thereof with the other parent, regardless if the custodial parent deems it important or not,
within such reasonable time as to make the records or information of reasonable use to
the other parent.
3. PHYSICAL CUSTODY: Physical Custody of the minor child shall be as follows:
3a. PHYSICAL CUSTODY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR:
During the school year, Mother shall have primary physical custody of

he shall have the right, at his option, to keep the child until Mother is home
from work on said Monday evening(s); and
2. Father shall also have one evening a week from after school or daycare
until drop off at school or daycare the next morning. If Father does not work on
any given Thursday, Father shall utilize that Thursday for his weekday overnight.
However, if Father is working on a Thursday, or is otherwise unable to exercise
his custodial period this day, Father shall choose an overnight between Monday
and Wednesday from after school or day care until drop off at school or day care
the next morning. Father shall provide Mother with reasonable notice of said
selections.
3b. PHYSICAL CUSTODY DURING SUMMER SCHOOL VACATION:
During summer school vacation, the parties shall have shared physical custody of
Jacob as set forth in the previous Order dated October 2, 2007 physical custody

Not withstanding the foregoing, each parent shall have the right to have physical
custody of Jacob for two (2) non-consecutive one week periods of summer
vacation with the child, said period of time shall not include the other parent's
weekend unless specific written permission to usurp the other parent's weekend is
3
granted in writing at least 14 days prior to the exercising of said one week
custody period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both parties acknowledge that
traditional summer rentals run from Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday, so
if a party selects such a vacation with the child, then the other parry shall
cooperate and permit said vacation period which shall be reciprocated by the
vacationing party. It is specifically understood that neither parent shall select
extended vacation during the school year unless school is not in session or the
school excuses the child's absence.
4. HOLIDAYS:

parties shall alternate the following major holidays: July 4t', Labor Day, Thanksgiving,
Christmas Segment A, Christmas Segment B, Easter and Memorial Day, commencing

the Christmas holiday shall be exercised from noon on December 24 until noon on
December 25'' and Christmas Segment B shall be exercised from noon on December 25I'
until noon on December 26 h. Segment A and Segment B shall be alternated annually

due to work schedules.
5. TRANSPORTATION:
The transportation shall be shared equally between the parties as mutually determined by
the parties. In the event the parties are unable to agree to transportation responsibilities,
then the party receiving custody of the child shall travel to get the child from the other
parent or school or daycare as long as neither party moves more than 20 miles from his or
her current residence.
6. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL:
Both parties specifically agree to provide to the non-custodial parent the right of first
refusal if the custodial parent is not available for an overnight as set forth in the custody
schedule. Both parties agree that the child spending an overnight or visit with family
relatives shall not be construed as a violation of this paragraph.
7. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:

extracurricular activities. Each party shall provide the other party with at least 48 hours
advanced notice of the child's school or other activities whenever possible. Both parties

certain the child attends any extracurricular activities. The parties further agree to be
supportive of the activities and agree to transport the child to and from such activities and

is able to participate in those events. Neither parent shall commit the child to activities
that fall on the other parent's period of custody without the consent of the other parent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the child is involved in an activity
which occurs during both parents' periods of custody, both parents shall cooperate in
providing transportation of the child to the activity. However the custodial parent shall
not be required to take the child to that activity if the custodial parent and the child are
out of town during that activity for a previously scheduled vacation. If the custodial
parent is unable to deliver the child to the particular activity, the parent who has custody
of the child at that time shall notify the non-custodial parent who shall be entitled to pick
up and deliver the child to the designated activity. The custodial parent shall make sure
that the child is ready for pick up in time sufficient to enable the child to timely attend the
activity.

they disrupt the child's schedule. It is understood that there is no designated time frame
for the daily call, both parties acknowledge that 7:00 p.m. is the preferred time to place
calls to try to assure availability and consistency in contact.

leave the room and grant the child privacy with the non-custodial parent.
9. DISPARAGING REMARKS:
The parties and any third parties in the presence of the child shall take all measures
deemed necessary to foster a feeling of affection between the child and the other party.
Neither party shall do nor shall either party permit any third party to do or say anything
which may estrange the child from the other parent, their spouse, significant others or
relatives, or injure the child's opinion of the other party or which may hamper the free
and natural development of the child's love and respect for the other parent. Neither
party shall make or permit others to make disparaging remarks about the other parent in
the presence of the child. No dialogue about the divorce, custody, or other issues related
to the child or the parents are to be discussed within hearing distance of the child. The
parties shall not use the child to convey verbal messages to the other parent about
custody, divorce, support or any other such matters including any changes in the custody
schedule, nor shall either party provide the child with any written communication to
5
deliver to the other parent except for school paperwork and event activities. Both parents
specifically are prohibited from using the child as a messenger to communicate with the
other parent.
10. MUTUAL CONSULTATION:
Each party shall confer with the other on all matters of importance relating to the child's
health, maintenance and education with a view towards obtaining and following a
harmonious policy in the child's education and social adjustments. Each party agrees to

ANY CHANGE IN ADDRESS OR TELEPHONE NUMBER WITHIN ONE WEEK
PRIOR TO ANY CHANGE IN ADDRESS OR TELEPHONE NUMBER

of twenty four (24) hours and for each person or entity which may provide daycare for
the child excluding any current daycare provider, relatives or public school institutions.
11. ILLNESS OF THE CHILD:
Emergency decisions regarding the child shall be made by the parent then having custody
however, in the event of an emergency or serious illness of the child at any time, any
party then having custody of the child shall immediately communicate with the other
party by telephone or any other means practical informing the other party of the nature of
the illness or emergency as soon as practical, so the other party can become involved in
the decision making process as soon as possible. The term "serious illness" as used
herein shall mean any disability which confines the child to bed for a period in excess of
24 hours or which places the child under the direction of a licensed physician and/or also
includes any emergency treatment requiring a visit to a hospital, orthopedic office or
other medical specialist.
12. WELFARE OF THE CHILD TO BE CONSIDERED:
The welfare and convenience of the child shall be the prime consideration of the parties
in any application of the provisions of this Stipulation and subsequent Court Order. Both
parties shall always place the best interest of the child first in addressing any issues
concerning the custodial schedule and requested changes to the schedule or any other
parenting issues.
13. SMOKE/DRINKALLEGAL SUBSTANCES:
No party shall smoke in any part of a confined area with the child present. Nor shall any
party permit any other person to smoke in any part of a confined area with the child
present including an automobile. No party shall drink alcoholic beverages in excess or
consume illegal substances when in the presence of the child and no party shall be under
the influence of alcoholic beverages to excess or be under the influence of any illegal
6
substances when in the presence of the child.
14. CO-PARENTING/PARALLEL PARENTING COUNSELING:
Both parties agree to participate in parallel parenting or co-parenting therapy as
determined by a mutually selected therapist with a goal of establishing a co-parenting
plan that gives them some type of uniform decision regarding co-parenting issues like
completion of school work and bedtimes in order to try to provide some consistencies for
the minor child. This co-parenting therapy shall be utilized to develop a plan that takes
into consideration those issues that are important for uniformity for the child regardless
of which house he is currently physically residing and for identifying areas that can be
more flexible related to each parent's individual parenting style. Co-parenting costs shall
be divided equally between the parties and the parties shall utilize any insurance coverage
that may be available to either party. Any non-covered cost should be divided equally
between the parties. Both parents are also encouraged to utilize the parent education and
co-parenting classes to help them understand what is expected from each of them in terms
of promoting a positive relationship between the minor child and the other parent despite
the level of conflict that may exist between the parties.
15. MODIFICATION:
The parties are free to modify the terms of this Order if and only if both parties are in
complete agreement to any such modification and said modification is in writing signed
by both parties. In the event both parties are not in complete agreement to any proposed
change, then the terms of this Court Order shall control and remain in full force and
effect until modified by the Court.
