DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
AND NOW, comes the Defendant/Respondent, Melissa Nygaard Mitten, by and through
her attorney Paul Bradford Orr, Esquire, and files the following Answer to the Petition for
Emergency Custody:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted in part, Denied in part. It is admitted that the Respondent left the
Jurisdiction. However it is Denied that Defendant/Respondent left the jurisdiction without
notifying the Plaintiff/Petitioner. By way of further explanation, the parties had been in active
negotiations regarding her move to Virginia Beach, Virginia. Plaintiff/Petitioner did have the
email address for the Defendant/Respondent as well as various phone numbers. Additionally,
there had never been a Custody Court Order Issued in this matter Ordering
Defendant/Respondent to stay in the jurisdiction of Cumberland County or in the jurisdiction of
Pennsylvania.
7. Denied. Plaintiff/Respondent moved to the State of Virginia to better her own. life
and the life of the child, Madison Paige Nygaard. Additionally, Respondent's new husband was
offered better Employment opportunities in the State of Virginia. By way of further explanation,
Petitioner had previously commented to Respondent that he would also like to relocate to
Virginia to seek better employment opportunities and to be closer to his child. Finally, both
parties had been in active communication and had even agreed to "transfer of custody" locations
in the Northern Virginia area whereby the parties would SHARE transportation.
8. This averment requires No answer as it appears to be an additional request by
Plaintiff. Petitioner. However, the parties did agree to Interim Order at Conciliation Conference
that satisfied both parties.
WHEREFORE, we respectfully request this honorable court to award Respondent
primary Physical custody with periods of liberal periods of visitation and partial custody to
Petitioner.

CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUNIlVIARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF

report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
Name Date of Birth Currently in the Custody of
Madison Paige Nygaard 7114/06 Mother
2. An emergency Order of Court was entered by the Honorable M.L. Ebert, Jr.,
J. issuing a Rule to Show Cause why Mother should be able to relocate to
another jurisdiction.
3. A Conciliation Conference was held on September 28, 2007 with the
following individuals participating:
The Father, Gregory Berrier, with his counsel, Richard Wagner, Esquire
The Mother, Melissa Nygaazd Mitten, with her counsel, Paul Orr, Esquire.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal
custody and primary physical custody of Madison. Mother has recently
married and has moved to Virginia with Madison and her new husband.
Mother has concerns regazding Father's alleged alcohoUdrug use and his
ability to properly care for Madison generally. Mother asserts that Father had
known of Mother's intent to move out of this jurisdiction and that she had
been willing to come to some sort of agreement regarding Father's partial
custody. Mother requested that the exchange point for Madison should be
approximately half way and that each pazent share the transportation. Mother
believes that the move to Virginia and her having primary physical custody
subject to Father's partial physical custody is in the Child's best interest.
5. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal and
primary physical custody of Madison. Father alleges that he has not seen his
daughter in approximately one month and that he was not aware of Mother's
intent to move from this jurisdiction. Father alleges that Mother's new
husband has involved himself in the situation and has interfered with Father's

made threats to him regarding Father's custodial rights. Father requests that
Mother transport Child to this jurisdiction every other weekend pending a
relocation hearing. Father asserts that Mother has extensive family contacts in
this area and Father is willing to have his custodial time with Madison at
paternal grandmother's residence.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a
Hearing and entering an Order of Court granting the parties shared legal
custody with Mother having primary physical custody subject to father's
partial physical custody every other weekend pending the hearing. 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-half day.
7. 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.
