Petition for Modification
1. Petitioner is Defendant, JOSHUA J. MULHOLLAND, who currently resides at
212 W. Keller Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, PA 17055.
2. Respondent is Plaintiff, JERILYN R. MULHOLLAND, who currently resides at

3. Petitioner and Respondent are the natural parents of the following children:

Age
KIERSTAN A. MULHOLLAND 9 years
BRENNIN J. MULHOLLAND 3 years
4. A custody order was entered on 15 October 2007, in the Cumberland County
Court of Common Pleas. A copy of the custody order is attached.
5. Petitioner seeks to modify the custody order because:
a. After 9 months under the current custody order the children are still having
difficulty adjusting to the arrangements.
b. To provide a more consistent schedule, that does not have a physical custody
changeover in the middle of the week during the children's schooling.
c. Daycare and its expense are not needed by the petitioner for Brennin or
Kierstan as more suitable arrangements by individuals with a vested interest
are available.
d. To promote a more harmonious and stable 50150 shared custody environment
for the children.
Petition for Modification Page 3 of 8
e. Changes in the petitioners place of employment has changed thus his work
schedule has changed and is not compatible with the current custody order.
f. A pending change in residence of petitioner is inevitable and within 30 miles
of current residence, thus still allowing for a fair and equitable 50150 custody
order.
6. Petitioner believes the custody order should be changed as follows:
1. LEGAL CUSTODY: The parties shall share joint legal custody of their minor Children: Kierstan
Ann Mulholland, DOB March 01, 1999; and, Brennin Joshua Hugh Mulholland, DOB February 25, 2005. The
parties agree that major decisions affecting the Children's growth and development including, but not limited to:
choice of medical treatment; dental treatment; education; actual or potential litigation involving the Children directly
or as a beneficiary, other than custody litigation; and, any school-related extracurricular activities, shall be regarded
as major decisions and shall be made by the parties jointly. If after reasonable consultation and good faith discussion
with each other with the goal of said consultation and discussion directed towards obtaining and following a
consistent, reasonable and harmonious policy in the Children's best interests, a decision cannot be agreed upon,
Father will have final decision authority in all odd years and Mother in all even years, as a last resort when all lesser
means have failed to provide a solution. In accordance with this paragraph, each parent shall:
A. keep the other informed of the Children's educational progress, health status, social
adjustments, and schedule of and involvement in general activities such as, but not limited to
activities such as gymnastics, dance class, etc.; and,
B. in a timely manner, communicate directly with the other concerning any parenting issue
requiring consultation and agreement including, but not limited to any proposed modifications to
the physical custody schedule as stated herein which, from time to time, may become necessary. In
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the parents expressly agree not to use the
Children as a messenger and neither parent shall discuss with the Children any proposed changes

12. This Order is entered pursuant to a Custody Conciliation Conference. The parties may modify
the provisions of this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of mutual consent, the terms of

3. The parties are the natural parents of two (2) Children namely Kierstan Mulholland,
born 03/01/1999 and Brennin 1~Iulholland, born 02/25/2005, (hereinafter the "Children").
4. The most recent custody order entered between the parties regarding the subject
i
children was executed by the I~onorable M. L. Ebert, Jr. on April 14, 2009, and it gives the parties
shared legal custody with primary custody of the Children with Mother and partial custody to
Father for seven (7) weeks in tie summer, five (5) days during the Christmas break each year and
five (5) days during spring beak every other year. A true and correct copy of the Order is

5. Due to Father's epeated conduct in direct violation of the Order and the significant

i
welfare of the Children while i~ both parents' caze.

Kierstan suffered through the pain of dual eaz infections

~as sought, Father waited an additional twenty-four (24)
