ACTION IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY AGREEMENT
t
This Custody Agreement is made this day of 2008, by and
between Stephanie J. Pittenger, Hereinafter referred to as "Mother"), of Boiling Springs,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and Bradley A. Pittenger, (Hereinafter referred to as
"Father"), of Boiling Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania;
WHEREAS, Mother and Father are the natural parents of two children, namely,
Ian M. Pittenger, born December 12, 1990; and
Austin M. Pittenger, born October 7, 1995;
WHEREAS, Mother and Father have reached an agreement relative to the future
care and custody of their children, the terms of which agreement both parties desire to
set forth in the present Agreement, and,
WHEREAS, Mother and Father desire the provisions of the present Agreement be
approved by the Honorable Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County and entered
as a Court Order, with the same force and effect as though said Order had been entered
after Petition, Notice and Hearing. There is no previous Order of Court concerning the
children.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, and in
consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, hereby agree as
follows:
1. Joint Legal Custody. Legal custody is the legal right to make all major non-
emergency decisions affecting a minor child's well being, including, but not limited to, all
decisions regarding his or her health, education, and religion. Mother and Father shall
have joint legal custody of their children, Ian M. Pittenger, and Austin M. Pittenger.
Notwithstanding that both parents shall share legal custody, non-major decisions
involving the child's day-to-day living shall be made by the parent then having physical
custody, consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement and subsequent Order.
K Pursuant to this section, the parties agree that:
5J'A. Each party shall confer with the other on all matters of importance
including but not limited to issues relating to the child's health and education.
9-4-B. Each party agrees to keep the other informed of his or her residence and
telephone number to facilitate communication concerning the welfare of each child
and visitation period. Each party agrees to supply the name, address, and
telephone numbers of any person in whose care the child will be in for a period in
excess of forty-eight (48) hours, and for each person or entity which may provide
daycare for a child.
WiC. 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 such records or
information, and such information has not been provided to the other parent, 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.
K_qD. Neither party shall attempt to undermine the mutual love and affection
that each child may have for the other parent and neither parent shall, in the
presence of the child make any disparaging or negative remarks concerning the
other parent.
?BnP_
2. Emergency Decisions. Emergency decisions regarding a child shall be made
by the parent then having physical custody of the child. However, in the event of any
emergency or serious illness of a child at any time, any party then having custody of the
child shall communicate with the other party by telephone or any other means
practicable, informing the other party of the nature of the illness or emergency, so the
other parent can become involved in the decision making process as soon as possible.
3. Physical Custody. Physical custody is defined as actual physical possession
and control of a child. Physical Custody of the children, as that term is defined in the
custody act, shall be shared.
4. Schedule of physical custody. The parties shall share physical custody as
follows:
a. Each party shall have a period of one week with both children to run from
Friday after school or at 3:00 p.m. through the following Friday after school or at
3:00 p.m. when the parties shall exchange custody. This week on, week off
arrangement shall begin on December 12, 2008, when Mother shall have custody
of the children. The parties shall meet for their exchange at 3:00 p.m. every Friday
thereafter.
b. The parties shall equally divide all major holidays. Regarding Christmas:
For even numbered years, Father shall have the children on Christmas Eve
from 3:00 p.m. through 11:00 p.m. and Mother shall have the children from
11:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve through 3:00 p.m. on Christmas Day. Father

all children shall be secured in appropriate passenger restraints.
6. Best Interest of the Child. The parties understand that in making an order for
custody, the court shall consider the best interest of the child, which may include any
factor which impacts the child's physical, psychological, intellectual, and emotional well-
being. Such factors may include but are not limited to: the age of the child, the child's
relationship with each parent, the preference of the child, (if old enough to express a
meaningful preference), the duration, adequacy and stability of the child's current living
arrangements, the motive of each parent, the child's school and community, the
openness of each parent to allow and encourage frequent and continuing contact
between the child and the other parent, including physical access, and the capacity of
each parent to cooperate with each other and teachers or child care providers.
The parties have considered all of the above factors, and have attempted to craft a
custody agreement which provides for the best interest of the child or children. The
parties understand that while this matter could be heard by the Court, they are not
requesting a hearing or court intervention on this matter, at this time, as they have been
able to reach an agreement beneficial to the child or children, and it is in the best interest
of the child or children and the parties to resolve this matter without litigation and with
minimal conflict.
7. Binding Effect and Order. This Agreement and all of its terms and
conditions shall extend to and be binding upon the parties. The parties shall request
that this Agreement be incorporated into a Court Order without further hearing. The
parties are free to modify the terms of this Agreement and Order verbally or in writing but
in order to do so both parties must be in complete agreement to any different terms. That
means both parties must consent on what the terms of the custody arrangement or
schedule shall be.

8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and controlled by the
laws of Pennsylvania.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereto duly executed the present
Stipulation and Custody Agreement the day and year first above written.
