8. A prior custody order was issued in Muscogee County, Georgia, docketed at SU-
07-DM-396-9. Plaintiff subsequently consented without admission to a protection from abuse
order being issued in Cumberland County in January 2008 at civil docket 07-6972; said order
states:
[Mother] shall have primary physical custody of the minor child. [Father] shall
have periods of partial physical custody every first and third weekend from Friday
evening between 5-6 p.m. until Sunday at 5:00 p.m. and every Wednesday
evening from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
This order supersedes any prior order relating to child custody.
The Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity in other
litigation concerning the custody of the children in this or any other Court.
9. Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the children
pending in any Court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
10. Other than as noted above, Plaintiff does not know of a person nor a party to the
proceeding who has physical custody of the children or claims to have custody or visitation
rights with respect to the children.
11. The best interests and permanent welfare of the children require Plaintiff to have
periods of physical custody which may be agreed upon at conciliation or otherwise be
determined by the Court. The custody provisions made part of the recent protection from abuse
order do not adequately address the current situation of the parties and child.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to schedule a custody
conciliation conference.
