(hereinafter "Agreement"). A copy of the October 8, 2008 Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A'~ and incorporated herein by reference.
7. 1 n addition to resolving the economic issues incident to the divorce, the
Agreement outlined specific obligations regarding the support of the parties' children.
8. At the time of the parties' divorce, and for three (~) years thereafter. the children
resided primarily with Petitioner.
9. 'The Agreement established an initial monthly support obligation to he paid by
Respondent to Petitioner, as well as a directive that Respondent pay to Petitioner ?0% of all
bonuses, net of taxes, which .Respondent receives each year, the payment of which must be made
within 30 days of receipt of the bonus (see Paragraph 17. p. 16).
10. T'he Agreement further allows for modification of the support obligation subject
to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, any change in the primary --esidence of the
children, annual adjustments based on the parties income and the existing support guidelines in
effect at the time. when Cameron turns 18 or graduates from high school (see Paragraphs 17.a,
l 7.e and 17.f, 'pp. 16-17).

associated with recalculating the support figures (see Paragraph 17.e) and Respondent is
responsible for the legal fees incurred by Petitioner in enforcing her rights under the Agreement
(see f aragraph 29. p. 26).
12. In March 201 1. Respondent received a bomis; however, Petitioner did not receive
the amount owed to her from the bonus until July 2011, well past the 30 days from the date the
bonus was received, which is in clear violation of the Agreement.
I3. In October 2011, the parties' oldest child. Cameron, who was still a minor at the
time, began to live primary with Respondent and Respondent unilaterally ceased all support
payments to Petitioner even though Sarah, the parties' youngest child, continued to reside
primarily with Petitioner.
14. inn December 12, 2011 the undersigned contacted Respondent to request the
necessary income information to recalculate the support obligation given the change in primary
residence of Cameron; however, Respondent ignored the request.
15. On January 30, 2012, pursuant to Paragraph 29 of the parties" Marital Settlement

the cost ~_>f the legal fees owed to Petitioner but only 15% of the bonus he received in 2012, and
not the 20°% required by the Agreement.
] 9. Petitioner and the undersigned have made repeated attempts to collect the
remaining bonus amount due to Petitioner but Respondent refuses to make the payment.
20. In June 2012, the parties' son Cameron graduated from high school In
anticipation thereof, Petitioner requested the undersigned to recalculate the support based on
Cameron's emancipation and the annual adjustment based on the parties' respective incomes.
21. The parties agreed to the recalculated support amount, which was effective as of
.tune 8. 2012, w°hen Cameron graduated high school.
22. Because Respondent makes his support payments one month in advance,
Respondent o~~es an additional amount to Petitioner for the June 2012 support payment, which
he previously paid in May 2012 at the lower support amount.
~. Despite repeated requests, Respondent refuses to pay the iegaC fees incurred
Petitioner t:o enforce the agreement, he refuses to pay the additional amount owed to Petitioner
for June ZOl2 and he refuses to pay the remaining amount due to Petitioner from his 2012 bonus.
2~. Respondent has breached the terms of the parties Agreement and Petitioner is
seeking to have the Agreement enforced.

MARITAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made this ~~~- day of ~~~ , 2008, by and
between KIMBERLY A. KETELSLEGER, now of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, hereinafter referred to as "KIM",
-AND-
JAMES T. KETELSLEGER, now of Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
hereinafter referred to as "JIM",
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, JIM and KIM were lawfully married on August 18, 1990, in
Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island, and there having been two children born of
this marriage: CAMERON JAMES KETELSLEGER (DOB: 02/17/1994) and SARAH
MARIE KETELSLEGER (DOB: 07/19/1997); and
WHEREAS, diverse unhappy marital difficulties have arisen between the parties,
causing them to believe that their marriage is irretrievably broken, as a result of which
the parties separated on January 17, 2006, and intend to live separate and apart from
one another hereafter, the parties being estranged due to such marital difficulties with
no reasonable expectation of reconciliation; and the parties hereto are desirous of
settling fully and finally their respective financial and property rights and obligations as
between each other, including, without limitation by specification: the settling of all
matters between them relating to the ownership of real and personal property; the
settling of all matters between them relating to the past, present, or future support
and/or maintenance of KIM by JIM or of JIM by KIM; the settling of all matters relating
to the custody and support of their minor children; and in general, the settling of any
and all claims and possible claims by one against the other or against their respective
estate, particularly those responsibilities anal rights growing out of the marriage
relationship; and
WHEREAS, the provisions of this Agreement and their legal effect have been
fully explained to the parties by their respective counsel. KIM has employed and had
the benefit of counsel of THERESA BARRETT MALE, ESQUIRE, as her attorney. JIM
has employed and had the benefit of counsel of CONSTANCE P. BRUNT, ESQUIRE,
as his attorney.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the promises,
covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties
hereto, JIM and KIM, each intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as
follows:
1. SEPARATION. It shall be lawful for JIM and KIM at all times hereafter
to live separate and apart from each other and to reside, from time to time, at such
place or places as they shall respectively deem fit, free from any control, restraint or
interference, direct or indirect, by each other. Neither party shall molest the other or
compel or endeavor to compel the other to cohabit or dwell with him or her by any legal
or other proceedings.
2. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE AND THE USE OF A MEDIATION
PROCESS. After consultation with their respective counsel regarding the options for
use of legal services in divorce and for different methods of conflict resolution, the
-2-
parties elected to use a mediation process to make the decisions necessary under the
circumstances. The parties worked with MELISSA PEEL GREEVY, J.D., as their
mediator and engaged in a total of eight (8) mediation sessions. In that process„ the
parties waived formal discovery and made voluntary full and fair disclosure of all assets;
incomes, debts and other information needed for full and complete settlement. Each
party had the opportunity to request information, and each received copies of any
documents requested including, but not limited to, statements regarding investment,
retirement, checking and savings accounts, deeds and real estate settlement sheets.
Neither party wishes to make or append hereto any further enumeration or statement.
As a result of the documents exchanged and the disclosure process, each party
acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently familiar with the assets and income of the
other to make an informed decision regarding the content of this agreement. Earh
party warrants that he/she is not aware of any marital asset which is not identified in this
agreement. Each party understands that he/she had the right to obtain from the other
party a complete inventory or list of all property that either or both parties owned at the
time of separation or currently and that each party had the right to have all property
valued by means of appraisals or otherwise. In arriving at the agreements set forth in
this Marital Settlement Agreement, JIM and KIM have applied their individual standards
of reasonableness and acceptability. The conclusions they have reached are based in
part on their respect and regard for each other. From time to time, in order to measure
the appropriateness of their conclusions, the parties have consulted with their
respective counsel for legal advice and have considered what might happen if the
matter were adjudicated in court, but they have elected to make their final agreement
without regard to whether a court might have adjudicated issues in the same manner as
they have agreed here. JIM and KIM represented to one another throughout the
mediation process that their negotiations were in good faith and that each had fully and
completely disclosed all financial information necessary or requested in order #o resolve
the parties' property and support rights fairly. By their signature on this Agreement,
-3-
they reaffirm those representations, upon which each of them has relied in making this
Agreement.
The parties acknowledge that no independent investigation has been
made by their mediator or their respective counsel of the character or of the value of the
parties' property, or the extent of debt or amount of income of the parties, other than an
inspection of paystubs, income tax returns and the various documents voluntarily
provided by the parties. The parties have instructed counsel that they desire to make
this Agreement without any further independent investigation by counsel. The parties
understand and acknowledge that they are relying on mutual disclosures made in their
mediation process in making this Agreement and that they are not relying on their
mediator or counsel for any independent verifications of the accuracy or completeness
of these disclosures. Each party retains the right to assert a claim against the other for
failure to fully and fairly disclose his or her income, assets and liabilities, if it is later
determined that there has been a failure to disclose, including but not limited to, a claim
of constructive trust.
3. SUBSEQUENT DIVORCE. JIM has filed a Complaint in Divorce in The
Court Of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, docketed to No. 07-
6637 Civil Term, claiming that the marriage is irretrievably broken under the no-fault„

contained, the parties agree to save and hold each other harmless from all income
taxes assessed against the other resulting from the division of the property as herein

liability shall be divided between the parties such that JIM shall pay 70% and KIM shall
pay 30%. In the event that any additional refund is received related to any prior .joint
income tax returns, such refund shall be allocated between the parties, with JIM
receiving 70% and KIM receiving 30%.

year, resulting in receipt of a refund. Such refund for the 2007 tax year will be allocated
between the parties, with JIM receiving 70% and KIM receiving 30%. The 2007
Economic Stimulus Payments received by the parties shall be distributed with JIM
receiving $600, and KIM receiving the balance of $657.

their mediation process. JIM has paid the filing fees for the initiation of the divorce

counsel fees.

CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b),the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the child who is the subject of this litigation is
as follows:
Sarah Marie Ketelsleger,born July 19, 1997.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on July 26,2013,with the following individuals
in attendance:
The father, James T. Ketelsleger, with his counsel, John F. King, Esquire, and the
mother, Kimberly A. Ketelsleger, with her counsel, Sandra Meilton, Esquire.
3. The parties have been conducting custody for a number of years pursuant to a marital
settlement agreement that incorporated a custody schedule. Generally,the mother has
primary physical custody and the father has approximately 40%of the oven-tights on
a monthly basis. Father has now petitioned the Court seeking primary custody. At the
initial conciliation conference,the parties agreed to initiate some counseling with the
minor child and that was accomplished. However,the parties are unable to reach and
agreement as father still is pursuing primary custody and mother does not believe a
change in custody would be in the best interest of the child.
4. A hearing is necessary and the Custody Conciliator recommends the entry of an Order
in the form as attached.

PETITION.REOUESTING CUSTODY EVALUATION
AND NOW, comes the Defendant/Petitioner, Kimberly A. Ketelsleger, and files the
within Petition averring as follows:
1. Plaintiff/Respondent is James T. Ketelsleger, who currently resides at 418
Appletree Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, hereinafter referred to as
"Father".
2. Defendant/Petitioner is Kimberly A. Ketelsleger, who currently resides at 3503
Stockwood Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, hereinafter referred to as
"Mother".
3. The parties are the parents of a minor daughter, Sarah Marie Ketelsleger; 16 years
old, whose was born on July 19, 1997 hereinafter referred to as "Sarah".
4. The parties recently appeared for a custody conciliation conference on July 26,
2013.
5. The matter did not settle at said Conciliation and has been assigned to the
Honorable Edward E. Guido for hearing.
6. By order dated July 30, 2013, a hearing in this matter has been scheduled for
September 20, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
7. There are a number of extenuating circumstances in this case which indicate the
necessity for a full custody evaluation.
8. Sarah has been diagnosed with depression and anxiety (adjustment disorder with
depression).
9. Sarah is involved in individual.counseling with Lauren Polson, MSW, LCSW,
with Guidance Associates, who Sarah sees weekly.
10. The family is also engaged in family counseling with Dennis Graybill, MA, with
Guidance Associates, which is done biweekly.
11. Sarah is also being seen by Courtney Baker, M.D., a psychiatrist with Holy Spirit
r Hospital Children's Behavioral Health Services, on an every three week basis.
12. At the recommendation of Dr. Baker and Ms. Poison, Sarah participated in an
inpatient/outpatient program at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center/Pennsylvania
Psychiatric Institute in February and March, 2013 where she was under the care of Irving Perez,
M.D., a psychiatrist. In this program, Sarah was seen and treated by Dr. Elamir, a psychiatrist,
Dr. Angela A. Gorman, a licensed clinical psychologist and Dr. Perez. These health care
professionals have information relative to Sarah's condition that need to be considered with
regard to her custodial arrangement.
13. Sarah's current medications are: Welbutrin 75 mg. once a day, Buspar 5 mg. three
times a day, and Lamotrigine 50 mg. once a day. Adjustments are still being made to Sarah's
medicine at each appointment with Dr. Baker.
14. Because of Sarah's diagnoses and the individuals involved with her treatment,
Mother believes that a full custody evaluation should be performed so that through that process,
the evaluator can speak with all of the individuals involved with Sarah's counseling and
treatment and be in a position to provide this Honorable Court with an overview of Sarah's
diagnoses, treatment and prognosis and to provide guidance with regard to what custodial
arrangement would be in Sarah's best interest.
15. Mother respectfully requests that this Honorable Court order that a full custody
evaluation be performed by Arnold T. Shienvold, Ph.D., of Riegler Shienvold and Associates, in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
16. Because of the differences in the parties' incomes and because it is Father's request to
change the parties' current custodial arrangement, Mother requests that Father be fully responsible
for the payment of all costs incident to the custody evaluation.
17. Given the short time frame between the conciliation conference on July 26, 2013
and the September 20, 2013 hearing date, is anticipated that the evaluation will not be completed
in time for the hearing.
18. Assuming Mother's request is granted, Mother is also requesting that the
September 20, 2013 hearing date be continued to afford Dr. Shienvold sufficient time to
complete the evaluation.
19. Immediately following the custody conciliation conference, by letter dated July
26, 2013 to Father's counsel, Mother's counsel requested Father's agreement to a custody
evaluation being performed. Mother's counsel's paralegal followed up said letter with a
telephone call on August 9, 2013 regarding the filing of this Petition. Father's counsel advised
that they do not concur with the filing of the Petition.
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court to order
that a full custody evaluation be performed by Arnold T. Shienvold, Ph.D., of Riegler Shienvold
and Associates,with payment for said evaluation being paid fully by Plaintiff/Respondent,James T.
Ketelsleger. Defendant/Petitioner further respectfully requests that, if her request for evaluations is
granted, the September 20, 2013 hearing be continued to afford sufficient time for the evaluation to
be completed.

Petition Requesting Custody Evaluation as follows: c ~ `
MM C=
1. Admitted. r"a
2. Admitted. �C_- r
Zo
-�
3. Admitted.
4. It is admitted that the parties appeared for a custody conciliation conference on
July 26, 2013. By way of further answer, the Custody Complaint underlying this matter was
filed on December 28, 2012, and was answered by the Defendant/Petitioner on January 25,
2013. An initial custody conference was held on February 28, 2013. At that conference,
there was an agreement between the parties that their legal counsel would confer with Lauren
Polson (Guidance Associates) from whom Sarah was receiving care. By way of further
answer, it is averred that after the conference, the parties' legal counsel were informed that
Ms. Polson had begun maternity leave. By way of further answer, it was averred that the
conference with Ms. Polson finally took place on May 28, 2013. By way of further answer, it
was averred that there was an.agreement at that time by the parties, through their legal
counsel, to also confer with Dennis Graybill (Guidance Associates) who was providing family
counseling for the parties and their child, which telephone conference took place on June 25,
2013.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. It is denied that there are a number of extenuating circumstances in this case
which indicate the necessity for a full custody evaluation. By way of further answer, it is
averred that this case involves a 16 year old child who has, since 2012, expressed a well-
reasoned preference to reside primarily with her Father, who current exercises custodial care
on an approximate 40/60%basis.
8. Admitted.
9. Admitted.
1.0. Admitted.
H. It is admitted that there is a psychiatrist with Holy Spirit Behavioral Health
Services who monitors prescribed medication for the subject child. It is denied that there are
any therapeutic services being provided by said psychiatrist, and proof thereof is therefore
demanded.
12. It is admitted that Sarah participated in a therapy program at the Pennsylvania
Psychiatric Institute in February and March 2013. It is denied that any of the health care
professionals that were involved in that therapy have any information which needs to be
considered with regard to her custodial arrangement.
1.3. Admitted.
14. It is denied that a full custody evaluation should be performed. By way of
further answer,the subject child's counseling with Ms. Poison and her diagnosis all existed in
December 2012 when this instant action was commenced. By way of further answer, all of
the information as alleged in the Defendant/Petitioner's Petition Requesting Custody
Evaluation was available to her no later than March 2013. By way of further answer, it is
believed, and therefore averred, that the Petition for Custody Evaluation is an attempt on the
part of the Petitioner/Defendant to unduly delay the decision by the Court on a custody action
which was filed in December 2012. By way of further answer, it is believed, and therefore
averred, that it would not be in the subject child's best interests for there to be an expenditure
of significant money for the performance of a custody evaluation, which money could be
better utilized in the financial support of the subject child.
l 5. The averments contained in paragraph 15 of the Petition are not statements of
fact, and therefore, no answer is required. If it should be determined that an answer is
required, it is denied that there is any need for a custody evaluation in this matter.
1.6. The averments contained in paragraph 16 of the Petition are not statements of
fact; and therefore, no answer is required. If it should be determined that an answer is
required, it is admitted that there is a difference in the parties' income. Father filed the initial
Custody Complaint on December 28, 2012. It is denied that Father should be responsible for
payment of any costs incident to a custody evaluation being petitioned for by Mother over
seven (7) months after the filing of the initial Custody Complaint.
17. It is admitted that the hearing is scheduled for September 20, 2013. It is denied
there is any need for a custody evaluation in this case.
18. The averments contained in paragraph 18 of the Petition are not statements of
fact, and therefore, no answer is required. If it should be determined that an answer is
required, Father denies any need for a continuance of the hearing scheduled for September 20,
2013..
l 9. It is admitted that a letter was sent by Petitioner's counsel, Sandra Meilton, after
the last custody conference, which letter was dated approximately seven (7)months after the
filing of the Custody Complaint. It is admitted that the Plaintiff/Respondent, through legal
counsel, advised that he did not concur with the relief sought in the Petition.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff/Respondent respectfully requests this Honorable Court to
deny the relief sought in the Defendant's Petitioner's Petition Requesting Custody Evaluation.
NEW MATTER
20. The responses contained in paragraphs 1-19 are incorporated herein as set forth
in length.
21. All of the information necessary for the determination by either party for the
need of a custody evaluation has been known to both of the parties since the initiation of the
instance custody complaint, which was filed on December 28, 2012.
22. It is believed, and therefore averred, that the initiation of a custody evaluation,
some nine (9) months after the initiation of the Custody Complaint would unduly or
inappropriately delay the judicial determination of the custodial care of the child, which has
been before the Court since December 28, 2012.
23. It is believed, and therefore averred, that the two professionals that are currently
involved with the child and the family, those being Lauren Polson, MSW,LCSW, and Dennis
Graybill, MA, will be available, and will adequately provide to the Court any information
necessary for the Court's determination on a professional level.
24. It is believed, and therefore averred,that during discussions and therapeutic
sessions with both Lauren Polson and Dennis Graybill,there has never been any indication
from either of those professionals that a custody evaluation would be called for or helpful in
this custodial matter.
WHEREFORE,the Plaintiff/Respondent respectfully requests this Honorable Court to
deny the relief sought in the Defendant's Petitioner's Petition Requesting Custody Evaluation.
