N0.07 - 3093 CIVIL
CIVIL ACTION -LAW
CUSTODY
ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
FOR CUSTODY OF MINOR CHILDREN
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Stephen Overmiller, by and through his counsel Linda A.
Clotfelter, Esquire, who responds to Plaintiff's Complaint as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted in part and denied in part. The general allegations regarding the identity
and personal information related to the children are admitted; however it is
specifically denied that the children's present residence is with Mother at 1408
Bradley Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. In further answer hereof, the custody
arrangements for the five (5) months just prior to the filing have been truly shared
by the parties on a 50/50 basis since Plaintiff left the family home in January,
2007. For the three (3) years prior to Mother's departure, the children resided at
Father's address, (the family residence) located at 1537 Sheepford Road,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Denied. It is specifically denied that the best interest and permanent welfare of
the children would be served by granting Mother primary physical custody. It is also denied that
Mother has been the primary caretaker of the children since birth and the implication that
Father's home environment is less nurturing or stable than Mother's is also denied. In further
answer hereof, it is in the best interest of the children to be within the primary care of their
Father in the family residence for the following reasons:
a. Since the children's birth, it was Father and not Mother who provided the children
with their primary care on a regular basis. Father could typically adjust his schedule to
care for the children and minimize daycare expenses. This occurred from 2001 through
2005 while Mother attended graduate school at Millersville University. In 2006 Father
adjusted his work schedule so that he could be home with Sydney to care for her in the
morning; get her on the bus for kindergarten; be there to get her off the bus; and then he
would play with her and make dinner. Presently Father's work hours coincide with the
school hours, so Father is available to feed, bathe, and care for the children, including
taking them to doctor's and other appointments, as he always has. There are no
limitations to Father's involvement in the care of the children and since Mother left the
family residence, Father has continued in his role as primary caregiver.
b. Father's residence has been the children's home for most of Sydney's life and all
of Chloe's life. It is the community in which they are most comfortable and have the
most connections. The children have their own rooms; a dog; a cat; a private yard in
which they can safely play; sidewalks for bike riding and roller-skating; friends there
including Sydney's friends at the school that she had been attending; and also a
neighborhood park within two blocks.
c. Mother's current living conditions are inappropriate for two small children as it is
a third floor apartment with no yard in which the children may play. The children are not
able to safely ride their bikes, roller skate, or do other similar activities. If the children
want to play outdoors, Mother must take them to a park. This environment is expected to
continue for at least one more year due to her recent lease renewal.
d. Father has strived to communicate with Mother on all issues related to the
children while Mother has not. More specifically, Mother unilaterally removed Sydney
from her school and enrolled her in a different school, despite Father's objections.
Mother has also "told" Father that Sydney will go to yet another school in the fall,
without discussing it with Father. Essentially, Mother refuses to effectively work with
Father on communication and she went as far as to refuse Father's request for marriage
counseling provided by Section 3302 of the Divorce Code.
e. Father has always encouraged the children's relationships with their extended
families. Mother, on the contrary, has forbidden any relationship with the maternal
grandmother who lives in Carlisle, and consequently, she has never seen the children.
Sydney has begun questioning Father about this situation and due Father's concern about
her confusion and emotional state; he would encourage a relationship, as has been the
case with the other extended family members.
f. Father has always participated in and attended the children's school and other
activities. His schedule is such that he can typically attend and Chloe's daycare is across
the street from his place of employment. Father has participated in safety day; bike-a -
rama; track and field day; two family dance nights; kindergarten celebration; and
Sydney's talent show. He has also helped in class for kid-writing and he has gone on
field trips with Sydney's class, which Mother did not do until after the separation.
8. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Stephen J. Overmiller, respectfully requests that this court
grant him primary physical custody of the parties' children, Sydney A. Overmiller and Chloe J.
Overmiller; grant partial custody to Plaintiff; and order that the parties participate in co-parenting
or family counseling.

ACTION IN CUSTODY
CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(B), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
Sydney A. Overmiller, born April. 30, 2001, currently in the shared physical
custody of Mother and Father
Chloe J. Overmiller, born May 25, 2004, currently in the shared physical custody
of Mother and Father
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on June 18, 2007 and a status update
conference was held on August 6, 2007 with the following individuals in
attendance:
The Mother, Candice Overmiller, with her counsel, Keith Brenneman, Esq.
The Father, Stephen Overmiller, with his counsel, Linda Clotfelter, Esq.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: The Parties have essentially come
to an agreement in regard to a custody schedule with the unresolved issue of
which school district Sydney will attend. Sydney had attended Lower Allen
(West Shore school district) and then transferred to Letort Elementary for half
a year where Mother was employed as an elementary school teacher. Mother
has recently obtained a job at Crestview Elementary and Father does not think
it is in the Child's best interest to attend yet another school. Father would like
Sydney to return to Lower Allen to attend school with children that she is
already familiar with. Father's position is such that he feels that Sydney
should attend a school that is more of a neutral setting; i.e. that Mother's
employment at the same school that Sydney would attend causes too much
influence in the whole situation. Father also asserts that Sydney also has
established friends in Father's community and school district.
4. Mother's position is as follows: Mother would like Sydney to attend
Crestview Elementary this year. Mother has recently obtained a teaching
position at Crestview Elementary relates that she thinks that this situation
would be a positive influence on Sydney and in Sydney's best interest.
f
.~
Mother further points out that the Parties and Sydney have had counseling
sessions with a psychologist who has opined that Sydney adjusts well to
change and that Sydney's well being would be better served by having Sydney
enrolled at Crestview Elementary. Furthermore, the psychologist reported
that Sydney appears to make friends easily and thrive in general. The
psychologist reported that there may be some security for Sydney knowing
that her Mother would be in the immediate vicinity.
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a
Hearing and entering an Order of Court granting Mother and Father shared
legal custody and shared physical custody as outlined in the proposed Order.
The Conciliator further recommends that in the event a custody hearing not
take place before the beginning of school, Sydney Overmiller be enrolled at
Crestview Elementary as it is the Conciliator's belief that this would be in the
Child's best interest. It is expected that the Hearing will require one day.
6. -The proposed recommended Order may contain a requirement that the parties
file apre-trial memorandum with the Judge to whom the matter has been
assigned.

The Father, Stephen Overmiller, with his counsel, Linda Clotfelter, Esq.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: The Parties have essentially come
to an agreement in regard to a custody schedule with the unresolved issue of
which school district Sydney will attend. Sydney had attended Lower Allen
(West Shore sehool district) and then transfened to Letort Elementary for half
a year where Mother was employed as an elementary school teacher. Mother.
-
lias recently obtained a job at Crestview Elementary and Father does not think
it is in the Cluld's-best interest to attend yet another school. Father would like
Sydney to return to Lower Allen to attend school with children that she is
aTready fam.iliar with. Father's position is such that he feels that Sydney
should afterid a school that is more of a neutral setting; i.e. that Mother's
employment at the same school that Sydney would attend causes too much
influence in the whole situation. Father also asserts that Sydney also has
established friends in Father's community and school district.
4. Mother's.position is as follows: Mother would like Sydney to attend
Crestview Elementary this year. Mother has recently obtained a teaching
position at Crestview Elementary relates that she thinks tha.t this situation
would be a positive influence on Sydney and in Sydney's best interest.

sessions with a psychologist who has opined that Sydney adjusts well to
change and that Sydney's well being would be better served by having Sydney
erirolled at Crestview Elementary. Furthermore, the psychologist reported
that Sydney appeazs to make friends.easil--and-thr-ive -iu-geuer-al.--The------
psychologist reported that there may be some security for Sydney knowing
that her IVlother would be in the innmediate vicinity.
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a
Hearing and entering .an Order of Court granting Mother and Father shared
legal custody and shared physical custody as outlined in the proposed Order.
The Conciliator further recommends that in the event a custody hearing not
take'place before-the beginning of school, Sydney Overmiller be enrolled at
Crestview Elementary as it is the Conciliator's belief that tliis would be in the
Child's best interest. It is expected that the Hearing will require one day.
6. The proposed recommended-Order may contain a requirement that the parties
file.a pre-trial memorandum with the Judge to whom the matter has been assigned. . . .
