JEAN M. RUSH, IN CUSTODY
Defendant
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW this /I" day of March, 2008, upon consideration of the attached Custody
Conciliation Report, it is Ordered and Directed as follows:
1. Legal Custody: The Father, Charles M. Rush, and the Mother, Jean M. Rush, shall have shared
legal custody of Evan F. Rush, born 6/03/1996. The parties shall have an equal right 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 and religion. Pursuant to the terms of
23 Pa.C.S. §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 of the Child and of the other parent. To the extent one parent has possession of any
such records or information, that parent shall be required to share the same, or copies thereof,
with the other parent within such reasonable time as to make the records and information of
reasonable use to the other parent.
2. Physical Custody: Mother shall have primary physical custody of the Child subject to Father's
partial physical custody as follows:
a. Commencing 3/14/08, Father shall have physical custody of the Child every
other weekend from Friday 5:00 pm until Sunday 6:00 pm.
b. Father shall have physical custody of the Child every Wednesday from 5:00 pm
until 8:00 pm, or at such other times as agreed.
C. Father shall have physical custody of the Child at such other times as the parties
may mutually agree.
3. The Mother and Father shall share transportation for the custody exchanges with Father picking
up the Child at the Turkey Hill convenience store near Mother's residence and Mother shall
pick up the Child at Father's residence. It is understood and directed that the parents, or some
other mutually acceptable third party, (and not the parties' significant others) share provide the
transportation.
4. The custodial parent shall ensure, to the extent possible, that the Child's homework is
completed for the following school day.
5. The non-custodial parent shall have liberal telephone contact with the Child on a reasonable
basis through the Child's cellular telephone.
6. The parties shall endeavor to communicate as much as possible via electronic mail regarding
custodial issues, vacation plans, school events, parent/teacher conferences, sporting events,
notices, medical appointments and the like.
7. Holidays and Birthdays: The parents shall determine the Child's Birthday as mutually agreed
upon. The parties shall alternate the major holidays of Memorial Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. New Year's shall be mutually agreed upon.
Father shall begin the holiday schedule with Memorial Day in 2008. The parties shall mutually
agree the times for the holidays. It is understood that the parties may alter said holiday
schedule as necessary or desired by agreement with two weeks' notice.
8. Neither party may say or do anything nor permit a third party to do or say anything that may
estrange the Child from the other party, or injure the opinion of the Child as to the other party,
or may hamper the free and natural development of the Child's love or affection for the other
party. To the extent possible, both parties shall not allow third parties to disparage the other
parent in the presence of the Child. The parties are directed to not involve the Child in
discussions regarding custody issues or the other party's significant other.
9. In the event of a medical emergency, the custodial party shall notify the other parties as soon
as practicable after the emergency is handled.
10. The Child shall continue with his individual counseling and the Father shall also participate
with family counseling upon the recommendation of the therapist. The cost of said counseling,
after appropriate payment by insurance shall be split between the parties.
11. During any periods of custody or visitation, the parties shall not possess or use controlled
substances or consume/be under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the point of
intoxication. The parties shall likewise assure, to the extent possible, that other household
members and/or house guests comply with this provision.
12. Vacation: Each parent shall have two weeks of vacation with the Child per year. The vacation
periods shall not be consecutive for more than seven days. The requesting parent shall give the
other parent 30 days advance notice of the requested time and this vacation week shall
supersede the regular physical custody schedule. In the event the parties schedule conflicting
vacations, the party first providing written notice shall have the choice of vacation. Prior to
departure, the parties will provide each other with information regarding the intended vacation
destination and a telephone number at which they can be reached during their vacation. The
parties may expand/alter this vacation time by mutual agreement.
13. Relocation: The parties are litigating this custody action based upon the parties' residences in
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. If either party intends to establish residency outside of
Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry or York Counties, Pennsylvania, he or she must give to the other
parent at least sixty (60) days' written notice in advance of the proposed move, in order to
allow the parties to confer prior to the move and to establish a mutually satisfactory
arrangement in light of the changed circumstances. In the event the parties are unable to reach
an agreement, the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County shall have jurisdiction over
them to fashion an appropriate custody Order.
14. 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
this Order shall control.
