PARENTING SCHEDULE
Month 1: weekly, mid-week parenting time only
Month 2: mid-week parenting times + a five-hour contact every other Saturday
Month 3: midweek parenting tunes + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
overnight contact every other week
Month 4: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
overnight contact on Mr. Cornwall's first weekend + a Friday afternoon
to Sunday noon overnight contact on his second weekend
Month 5: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Sunday noon
overnight contact every other week
Month 6: full implementation of recommended schedule
2. The following suggestions are offered regarding holiday and vacation parenting
times:
a) Summer holidays: In addition to regular parenting time, I recommend that
Mr. and Mrs. Cornwall each be granted a one-week vacation period (defined
as seven consecutive days).
b) Thanksgiving holi day: Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following
Thanksgiving can be rotated between the parents with the weekend falling as
it does per the standard schedule.
c) Winter break: These holidays can be rotated between the parents such that
Mackie spends the first portion of each winter break with one parent and the
second half of winter break with the other parent
d) Spring break: This holiday can also be rotated between the parents. To avoid
confusion, I recommend defining spring break as Monday through Friday and
letting weekend parenting time fall as it ordinarily would per the standard
schedule.
3. I also recommend appointing a parenting coordinator to oversee the transition to
normalized parenting time. This professional should have experience. in child
development, family therapy, and divorce-related. disputes. I'm happy to offer
specific referrals upon request. In the event that Mr. Cornwall relocates to
Pennsylvania and jurisdiction of this case is transferred, it may be necessary to
identify a mental health professional suitable for this role and expressly define his
or her role, since to my knowledge there is no parenting coordinator statute in
Pennsylvania.

circumstances, the following parme guidelines, when appropriate, will be used by the
court as a basis for establishing ptime. Because the circumstances of each family
differ, the parenting time schedulished by the court may provide for more or less
parenting time than desired by ths.
(C) Additionally, the fol lowing parent g time guidelines are inapplicable to families
experiencing domestic violence, mental he th or substance abuse issues. For cases not
involving such problems, and in which the p ents are managing separation of the family unit
with civility, the guidelines set forth reasonab parenting time for a non-custodial parent;

GEORGE M. CORNWALL,
Defendant
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
: IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR ENFORCEMENT OF A FOREIGN DECREE
AND NOW comes Petitioner, Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above Plaintiff, by and through
her attorney, Hannah Herman-Snyder, Esquire, and the law firm of Griffie and Associates and
avers as follows:
1. Petitioner is the above named Plaintiff, Stephanie L. Cornwall, hereinafter
referred to as "Mother," an adult individual current residing at 4236 Carlisle
Road, Gardners, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent is George M. Cornwall, the above named Defendant, hereinafter
referred to as "Father," an adult individual currently residing at IOC Orange
Street, Mount Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are subject to an Order of Court, dated April 24, 2007, from the
Circuit Court of the state of Oregon for the county of Clackamus, with said Order
being registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2008 in regards to custody of
their son, George "Mackie" Cornwall, IV, born November 11, 1998, a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as "Exhibit A."
4. Pursuant to the Order, Father exercises periods of custody every Wednesday
afternoon and evenings and alternate sixty (60) hour weekends.
S. Stanley E. Schneider, Ed.D., has been serving as the parenting coordinator for the
parties pursuant to the Oregon Order and on or about September 7, 2008, in a
session with the parties, Dr. Schneider stated, over Mother's objection, that Bather
would begin exercising overnight periods of custody ever Wednesday to
Thursday.
6. Dr. Schneider, as parenting coordinator, has stated to undersigned counsel that he
believes that he has the authority to make such changes to the Order and stands by
his modification of the Order.
7. Said Order has been registered in Pennsylvania only for enforcement purposes.
8. Larry J. Blake, Jr., Esquire, counsel for Mother in regards to the Oregon litigation,
was involved in the litigation as between the parties that resulted in the Order of
April 24, 2007, and Attorney Blake has prepared correspondence, dated October
21, 2008, in regards to what was intended by the Order and clarifying the role of a
parenting coordinator in Oregon, a copy of which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference as "Exhibit B."
9. It is believed and therefore averred that our Court, while having jurisdiction to
enforce the Order, will interpret Oregon law, however, pursuant to either Oregon
or Pennsylvania law, it is believed and therefore averred that a parenting
coordinator does not have the authority to modify the basic structure of a custody
Order in the matter as modified by Dr. Schneider.
i d
10. Father has no attorney of record, therefore, notice is being provided to him by first
class mail, postage prepaid at IOC Orange Street, Mount Holly Springs,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
11. No Judge has been involved in this matter as the only activity has been registering
the Order for enforcement purposes.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court enforce the Order of April 24,
2007 from the Circuit Court of the state of Oregon for the county of Clackamus, Number DR 03-
03721, and reiterate that the terms, as set forth in full, in said Order control unless and until there
is further Order of Court.

PARENTING SCHEDULE
Month 1: weddy, mid-week parenting time only ..
Mouth 2: mid-week parenting times + a five hour contact every other Saturday
Month 3: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
overnight contact every other week
Month 4: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
overnight contact on Mr. Cornwall's first weekend + a Friday afternoon
to Sunday noon overnight contact on his second weekend.
Month 5: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Sunday noon
overnight contact every other week
Month 6: full implementation of recommended schedule
2. The following saggestions are offered regarding holiday and vacation parenting
times: - .
a) Summer holidays: In addition to regular parenting time, I recommend that
Mr. and Mrs. Comwall each be granted a one-week vacation period (defined
as seven consecutive days).
b) Thanks"u holiday: Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following
Thanksgiving can be rotated between the parents with the weekend 13in as
it does per the standard schedule.
c) Virmtar break: These holidays can be rotated between the parents such that
Mackie spends the first portion of each winter break with one parent and the
second half of winter break with the other parent.
d) Suring brcalo This holiday can also be rotated between the parents. To avoid
confusion, I recommend defining spring break as Monday through Friday and
letting weekend parenting time fall as it ordinarily would per the standard
schedule.
3. I also recommend appointing a parenting coordinator to oversee the transition to
normalized parenting time. This professional should have expert ence.m child
development, family therapy, and divorce-related. disputes. I'm happy to offer
specific referrals upon request. In the event that Mr. Cornwall relocates to
Pennsylvania and jurisdiction of this case is transferred, it may be necessary to
identify a mental health professional suitable for this role and expressly define his
or her role, since to my knowledge there is no parenting coordinator statute M`
Pennsylvania.

This letter is in reference to the above-entitled matter and my former representation of
Stephanie Cornwall. I was Ms. Cornwall's attorney for her dissolution proceeding that was filed
in Clackamas County, State of Oregon, bearing the case number DR03-03721, I have been asked
to provide this correspondence regarding the parties' Supplemental Judgment Modifying Parenting
Time and Child Support and the specific provision regarding parenting plan modifications and the
use of a parenting time coordinator.
.Iri,this,case; the parties underwent a pare nt}ng.and custodyevaluation aswelt aspsycliological:'evaluation.tp assist in deternunaion of what type,of parenting plan and custody
arrangement would-be irahe minor child's best interests. e parties stipulates. to fhe iianussioii of
the. reports .and evaluations which ultimately found that the.Petitioner, Mr. Cornwall, suffered from
various Axis II personality disorders that placed the parties' son at future risk_of harm, and"that Mr.
Cornwall was unable to recognize boundaries and accept that his marriage was over. Due to the lack
of boundary recognition and the constant unwanted attempts by Mr. Cornwall in trying to reconcile
with my client, the custody evaluator determined that parenting time disputes and discussions would
need to occur through a parenting coordinator. This individual was to provide a neutral means of
communication between the parties regarding parenting time issues and assist Mr. Cornwall in
adhering to the boundaries established by my client.
The state of Oregon does not have a statute or guidelines for a "parenting coordinator". In
this particular case, it was initially ordered that "Supervised visitation and supervised telephone
contact shall not be altered, modified, terminated or changed in any manner prior to completion of a
follow-up child custody evaluation to be performed by a child custody specialist." This restriction
was ordered due to Mr. Cornwall's behavior both in and out of court and the findings of the
evaluators. When parenting coordinators are utilized, generally it is their role to assist in limited
issues regarding transportation issues, limited modifications in parenting time such as changing the
date of a visit or hour of a visit, and telephone contact issues. Modifications to parenting time such
as providing overnghts :where overnights were not previouslyprovidecl are not in "the discretion of
'the parenting coordinator, urdess the courtspeeifically, orders that a coordinator has'such power.
Generally Modifications ,of that nature require a formal hearing and the co issuing a fulirig'on the
matter. `This is especiallytrue where there are numerous issues and concems-raised regarding one

parent's ability to provide a safe environment for the child and where there is a prior court order
requiring additional evaluations to ensure the child's best interests are met prior to any modification.
The initial parenting plan mentioned above contained in the parties' Limited judgment
regarding Custody and Parenting Plan was later modified by the Supplemental judgment entered on
April 24, 2007 which eliminated the supervised parenting time provision and provided for a more
normalized parenting plan for Petitioner. The Supplemental judgment specifically included another
parenting plan evaluator's recommendation and incorporated the recommendation into the
judgment. The evaluator stated in his recommendation that a parenting coordinator would be
recommended to oversee the transition to normalized parenting time. The evaluator's
recommendation stated "This professional should have experience in child development, family therapy, and
divorce-related disputes. I'm happy to offer specific referrals upon request. In the event Mr. Cornwall relocates to
Pennsylvania and jurisdiction of this case is transferred, it may be necessary to identij a mental health professional
suitable for.this zxle and mpressy define his or her role, since to my knowledge there is no parenting coordinator statute
in Pennsylvania." I am unaware of any court order or judgment that has been sought or entered since
Mr. Cornwall's relocation to Pennsylvania that provides any criteria or definition for the role that the
parenting coordinator is to follow. Based upon the evaluator's recommendation and language
utilized, it was my understanding that while Mr. Cornwall was still residing in Oregon this parenting
coordinator would simply assist with the transition from supervised parenting time to normalized
parenting time and address the parties various concerns that normally arise under such a transition.
I don't believe it was ever the intention that the parenting coordinator would make unilateral
changes to the parenting plan that was implemented in the Supplemental Judgment.
It is my understanding that the current parenting coordinator utilized by the parties, Dr.
Schneider, is attempting to implement that the Petitioner, Mr. Cornwall receive a mid-week
overnight parenting time visit. Based upon my recollection of the case history, the court's ruling,
and the evaluator's accepted recommendations, Dr. Schneider's modification is not within his
discretion as a "parenting coordinator" and that said modification would have to be ordered by the
court.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter or this correspondence, please do not
hesitate in contacting my office.

RESPONSE TO PETITION FOR ENFORCEMENT OF A FOREIGN DECREE
AND NOW comes Respondent, George M. Cornwall, the above defendant, Pro Se,
and avers as follows:
1. Respondent is the above named Defendant, George M. Cornwall, herein
after referred to as "Father" an adult individual currently residing at 1897
Boca Ratan Drive, Lake Oswego, Clackamas County, Oregon. Father also
maintains a secondary residence in Mt. Holly Pennsylvania which is used
as a location for parenting time with our son, George M. Cornwall IV, born
November 11, 2008.
2. Petitioner is the above named Plaintiff, Stephanie L. Cornwall hereinafter
referred to as "Mother", an adult individual currently residing at 4236
Carlisle Road, Gardners, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are subject to an Order of Court, dated April 24, 2007 from
the Circuit Court of the sate of Oregon for the county of Clackamas, with
such order being registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2008.
-1-
4. The petitioner asks that the instant order be "enforced°, alleging that the
Court Appointed Parenting Coordinator may have exceeded his authority
by ordering a minor change to the parenting plan against wishes of the
mother. The petitioner presents a letter from counsel asserting that the
Oregon statutes may not provide for such changes to be made in the best
interests of the child.
5. Respondent believes that the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS Chapter 107)
do indeed provide for the appointment of a parenting coordinator and
further go on describe the qualifications and duties of the Parenting
Coordinator. Defendant avers that the Parenting Coordinator is acting in
full accord with relevant ORS Statutes and established rules for his
conduct as set by the Oregon Family Law Advisory Counsel. Moreover the
parenting plan specifically provides that in the event the parties are not
able to resolve differences relating to the changing needs of the child as
he matures, that they shall be resolved by the Court Appointed Parenting
Coordinator. Thus this petition is completely inappropriate in that it is
asking the court to enforce the courts order against not the defendant but
in fact against the court's own appointed officer.
6. ORS Chapter 107 further provides for an expedited hearing procedure in
the event of a custody dispute. Petitioner should be directed to seek such
remedies as provided under the Oregon Statute.
-2-
7. Respondent is an Oregon Resident, the order in question is an Oregon
order and the Parenting Coordinator was appointed under the relevant
Oregon law. Thus the matter should be pursued in the proper venue, the
state of Oregon.
8. The court should also be aware that the Petitioner has for the past 18
months been working on an Agreement in Principle, (AIP) leading to a
stipulated jurisdiction, custody and parenting order to be filed in
Pennsylvania. Thus the instant petition appears to be a disingenuous,
even frivolous, attempt to not undermine that process but misinform the
court.
9. The court would be well advised to recall that in a prior custody action in
this court in about 2001, the Petitioner was fond in contempt of this court
and ordered to post a surety deposit of $5,000 to ensure her future
compliance with orders of this Court with respect to her minor children.
10. The Respondent respectfully requests that this petition be summarily
dismissed, or in the alternative that this matter be set for hearing
forthwith.
11. The respondent appearing "Pro-se" begs the Court's indulgence if this pleading is
in anyway imperfect as to form and apologizes for any inconvenience so caused.

GEORGE M. CORNWALL,
Defendant
Re 5yo/1/S'f--
: COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
No. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
IN CUSTODY
AND NOW comes Respondent, George M. Cornwall, the above defendant, Pro Se,
and avers as follows:
1. Respondent is the above named Defendant, George M. Comwall, herein
after referred to as "Father" an adult individual currently residing at 1897
Boca Ratan Drive, Lake Oswego, Clackamas County, Oregon. Father also
maintains a secondary residence in Mt. Holly Pennsylvania which is used
as a location for parenting time with our son, George M. Comwall IV, born
November 11, 2008. This address data is duty recorded with the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation in the
form of a declaration of residency filed July 20, 2008.
2. Petitioner is the above named Plaintiff, Stephanie L. Cornwall hereinafter
referred to as "Mother", an adult individual currently residing at 4236
Carlisle Road, Gardners, Cumberiand County, Pennsylvania.
-1-
3. The parties are subject to an Order of Court, dated April 24, 2007 from
the Circuit Court of the state of Oregon for the county of Clackamas, with
such order being registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2008.
4. The petitioner asks that the instant order be "enforced, alleging that the
Court Appointed Parenting Coordinator may have exceeded his authority
by ordering a minor change to the parenting plan against wishes of the
mother. The petitioner presents a letter from counsel asserting that the
Oregon statutes may not provide for such changes to be made in the best
interests of the child.
5. Respondent believes that the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS Chapter 107)
do indeed provide for the appointment of a parenting coordinator and
further go on describe the qualifications and duties of the Parenting
Coordinator. Defendant avers that the Parenting Coordinator is acting In
full accord with relevant ORS Statutes and established rules for his
conduct as set by the Oregon Family Law Advisory Counsel. Moreover the
parenting plan specifically provides that in the event the parties are not
able to resolve differences relating to the changing needs of the child as
he matures, that they shall be resolved by the Court Appointed Parenting
Coordinator. Thus this petition is completely inappropriate in that it is
asking the court to enforce the courts order against not the defendant but
in fact against the court's own appointed officer.
-2-
6. ORS Chapter 107 further provides for an expedited hearing procedure in
the event of a custody dispute. Petitioner should be directed to seek such
remedies as provided under the Oregon Statute.
7. Respondent is an Oregon Resident, the order in question is an Oregon
order and the Parenting Coordinator was appointed under the relevant
Oregon law. Thus the matter should be pursued in the proper venue, the
State of Oregon.
8. The court should also be aware that the Petitioner has for the past 18
months been working on an Agreement in Principle, (AIP) leading to a
stipulated jurisdiction, custody and parenting order to be filed in
Pennsylvania. Thus the instant petition appears to be a disingenuous,
even frivolous, attempt to not only undermine that process but also
purposely misinform the court.
9. The court would be well advised to recall that in a prior custody action in
this court in about 2001, the Petitioner was found in contempt of this
court and ordered to post a surety deposit of $5,000 to ensure her future
compliance with orders of this Court with respect to her minor children.
10. The Respondent respectfully requests that this petition be summarily
dismissed, WITH PREDUDICE. In any case, Plaintiff has taken no action
to move this case forward since its filing on or about October e, 2008.
Thus a period of Ninety Days has or will soon have elapsed, and
defendant should not be burdened indefinitely with this pending matter;
-3-
i
especially when the proper venue Is not within the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
11. Counsel for the plaintiff has refused to correct the erroneous address In
the original information presented to the this court despite repeated oral
and written requests to do so; ostensibly because defendant by appearing
"Prase" is somehow incompetent to accurately state his proper address.
12. The court Is reminded that it is the Mother, not the Father that is currently
refusing to follow the directives of the duly appointed Parenting
Coordinator, and is thus apparently in contempt of the Oregon Order.
Thus the plaintiff apparently seeks to have this court enforce the order by
seeking sanctioning of the Plaintiff. The motivation for this strange course
of action remains inexplicable to the Defendant.
13. The respondent appearing "Pro-se" begs the Court's indulgence if this pleading is
in anyway imperfect as to form and apologizes for any inconvenience so caused.

guidelines for family practice advisors to the Oregon Courts. Moreover the
subject order specifically requires that both parents comply with the

reference to prior parenting plan(s) is both irrelevant and a disingenuous
attempt at character assassination apparently intended to sway this court.
9. Paragraph 9, Do Not Concur; The parenting coordinator is specifically
charged with monitoring the Best interest's of our son as they change
over time and seeing that the parenting plan is modified as necessary to

Mother, based on ill informed advice form her Pennsylvania Counsel. The
Matter should be remanded to Oregon for resolution.

STEPHANIE L. CORNWALL, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF

V. NO. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
GEORGE M. CORNWALL,
Defendant IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
AND NOW comes Petitioner, Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above named Plaintiff, by and
through her attorney, Hannah Herman-Snyder, Esquire, and the law firm of Griffie and
Associates and petitions the Court as follows:
1. Petitioner, hereinafter "Mother," is Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above named
Plaintiff.
2. Respondent, hereinafter "Father," is George M. Cornwall, the above named
Defendant.
3. The parties are the natural parents of George "Mackie" Cornwall, IV, born
November 11, 1998.
4. The parties are subject to an Order of Court dated April 24, 2007 from the Circuit
Court of the state of Oregon for the county of Clackamus with said Order being
registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2008, a copy of which is attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A".
5. Pursuant to the Order, Father exercises periods of custody every Wednesday
afternoon and evening and alternate sixty (60) hour weekends.
6. Stanley E. Schneider, Ed.D. has been serving as the parenting coordinator for the
parties pursuant to the Oregon Order and on or about September 7, 2008, in a
session with the parties, Dr. Schneider stated, over Mother's objection, that Father
would be exercising overnight periods of custody every Wednesday to Thursday.
7. Father exercised his first period of custody overnight from Wednesday to
Thursday beginning on January 21, 2009.
8. While the parenting coordinator may have stated that he had the authority to grant
Father an extra overnight, Mother believes and therefore avers that a parenting
coordinator does not have authority to alter a Court Order in any substantial
manner and, therefore, that Respondent willfully failed to comply with the terms
of the Court Order by failing to return the child on the evening of January 21,
2009.
9. Mother requested Father to comply with the Court Order by contacting him on
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 and was informed by Father that he had no
intention of returning the child to her custody.
10. There has been no prior Judge involved in this custody matter.
11. Father is being provided notice of the filing of this pleading at 1897 Boca Ratan
Drive, Lake Oswego, Oregon, and 10 Orange Street, Mt. Holly Springs,
Pennsylvania by U.S. Mail, postage prepaid.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court adjudge the Respondent in
contempt of the Order registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2008, to impose such sanction
and penalties as the Court deems appropriate to assure the Respondent's future compliance with
the Court's Orders in this matter, the Petitioner be awarded compensatory custodial time from
the time wrongfully deprived from her by Respondent, and that Petitioner be awarded attorney's
fees which the Court deems equitable and just.

PARENTING SCHEDULE
Month 1: weekly, mid-week parenting time only
Month 2: mid-week parenting times + a five-hour contact every other Saturday
Month 3: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
overnight contact every other week ,
Month 4: mid week punting tunes + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
overnight contact on I& Cornwall's fast weekend + a Friday afternoon
to Sunday noon overnight contact on his second weekend.
Month 5: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Sunday noon
overnight contact every other week
Month 6: full implementation of recommended schedule
2. The following suggestions are offered regarding holiday and vacation parenting
times:
a) Summer holidays: In addition to regular parenting time, I recommend that
Mr. and Mrs. Cornwall each be granted a one-week vacation period (defined
as seven consecutive days).
b) Thanksgivm hg- oliday: Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following
ThanksgKing can be rotated between the parents with the weekend llin as
it does per the standard schedule.
c) Winter break: These holidays can be rotated between the parents such that
Mackie spends the first portion of each winter break with one parent and the
second half of winter break with the other parent
d) 4„pling break This holiday can also be rotated between the parents. To avoid
confiision, I recommend defining spring break as Monday through Friday and
letting weekend parenting time fall as it ordinarily would per the standard
schedule.
3. I also recommend appointing a parenting coordinator to oversee the transition to
normalized parenting time. This professional should have mperienee.in child
development, family therapy, and divorce-related. disputes. I'm happy to offer
specific referrals upon request. In the event that Mr. Cornwall relocates to
Pennsylvania and jurisdiction of this case is transferred, it may be necessary to
identify a mental health professional suitable for this role and expressly define his
or her role, since to my knowledge there is no parenting coordinator statute in
Pennsylvania.

STEPHANIE L. CORNWALL, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
Plaintiff CUMERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. : NO. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
GEORGE M. CORNWALL,
Defendant . IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF PURSUANT TO
23 Pa.C.S.A. 45424 -- ' F''
co -c
AND NOW, comes Stephanie L. Cornwall, by and through her attorney of record,
Hannah Herman-Snyder, Esquire and the law firm of Griffie & Associates, and petitions the
Court, pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S.A. §5424 as follows:
1. Petitioner hereinafter referred to as "Mother," is Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above
named Plaintiff.
2. Respondent hereinafter referred to as "Father," is George M. Cornwall, the above
named Defendant.
3. The parties are the natural parents of one child, namely, George "Mackie" Cornwall,
IV, born November 11, 1998.
4. The parties are subject to an Order of Court dated April 24, 2007, from the Circuit
Court of the state of Oregon, from the county of Clackamas, with said Order being
registered in Pennsylvania, for enforcement purposes, on January 28, 2008, a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A".
5. Pursuant to the Order of Court, Father exercises periods of custody every Wednesday
afternoon and evening and alternate sixty (60) hour weekends.
6. On or about Thursday, March 19, 2009, the child reported to Mother that the previous
evening Father entered the bathroom with a camera while the child was finishing his
shower, and Father took nude pictures of the child in the bathroom, but then deleted
them from the camera, saying they were not good pictures.
7. After the child exited the bathroom, Father began by taking a picture of the child in a
towel but then encouraged him to drop his towel and once the child dropped his
towel, Father took more pictures.
8. One nude picture of the child remained on the camera, which the child had in his
possession and showed to Mother on Thursday, March 19, 2009, and the camera was
provided to the police on Friday, March 20, 2009.
9. The police are investigating at this time, as is Cumberland County Children and
Youth Services.
10. Cumberland County Children and Youth Services issued a safety plan on Friday,
March 20, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit "B".
11. Mother provided a copy of the safety plan to the child's school, but the school said
that they would not honor said safety plan, and Mother fears for the safety of her
child should he return to school such that he has not attended school during the week
of March 23, 2009.
12. Mother's fears are based on a long history of issues with Father, including but not
limited to Father being found guilty of three (3) counts of sexual harassment in 2003,
stemming from incidents in which he went into his step-daughter, Mother's
daughter's, bedroom and inappropriately touched her.
13. Mother's daughter was approximately seventeen (17) years old at the time of these
incidents.
14. Father has also had other encounters with the police due to his inappropriate
interaction with children, and although he has not formally been charged, he has been
given warnings by the police.
15. Mother had a Protection from Abuse Order against Father in 2004 for his continued
harassment of her, and based on the current events, Mother stayed in a hotel with the
child on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 only to find Father in the lobby when she went to
leave in the morning.
16. There has been no judge involved in this custody matter, although Father has
presented documents to the Honorable Edgar Bayley regarding this case.
17. Father is being provided with notice of these pleadings at 10 Orange Street, Unit C,
Mt. Holly Springs, PA, 17065, and 1897 Boca Ratan Drive, Lake Oswego, Oregon
97034 by U.S. mail, postage prepaid.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests your Honorable Court exercise temporary emergency
jurisdiction and enter an Order preventing Father from any contact with the child until such time
as the police and Children and Youth finalize their investigations and a hearing is held on the
matter.

PARENTING SCHEDULE
Month 1: weekly, mid-week parenting time only..
Month 2: mid-week parenting times + a five-hour contact every other Saturday
Month 3: midweek parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
ovemight contact every other week
Month 4: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Saturday noon
overnight contact on Mr. Cornwall's first weekend + a Friday afternoon
to Sunday noon overnight contact on his second weekend
Month 5: mid-week parenting times + a Friday afternoon to Sunday noon
ovemight contact every other week
Month 6: full implementation of recommended schedule
2. The following suggestions are offered regarding holiday and vacation parenting
times:
a) Summer holidays: In addition to regular parenting time, I recommend that
I& and Mn. Cornwall each be granted a one-week vacation period (defined
as seven consecutive days).
b) Thanksgiving, holiday: Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following
Thanksgiving can be rotated between the parents with the weekend falling as
it does per the standard schedule.
C) Virinter break These holidays can be rotated between the parents such that
Mackie spends the first portion of each winter break with one parent and the
second half of winter break with the other parent
d) Spring break: This holiday can also be rotated between the parents. To avoid
confusion, I recommend defining spring break as Monday through Friday and
letting weekend parenting time fall as it ordinarily would per the standard
schedule.
3. I also recommend appointing a parenting coordinator to oversee the transition to
normalized parenting time. This professional should have experience.in child
development, family therapy, and divorce-related. disputes. I'm happy to offer
specific referrals upon request. In the event that Mr. Cornwall relocates to
Pennsylvania and jurisdiction of this case is transferred, it may be necessary to
identify a mental health professional suitable for this role and expressly define his
or her role, since to my knowledge there is no parenting coordinator statute in
Pennsylvania.

AND NOW comes Respondent, George M. Cornwall, the above Defendant,
appearing Pro-Se, and concerning the Plaintiffs petition, avers as follows:
1. Paragraph 1, Agreed:
2. Paragraph 2, Agreed:
3. Paragraph 3, Agreed:
4. Paragraph 4, Agreed:
5. Paragraph 5, Do not concur: The Wednesday parenting time extends
until 8:15 AM the following Thursday.

actually of sixty-five (65) hours duration.
Paragraph 6, Agreed:
The alternate weekends are
Paragraph 7, Do Not Concur: Mother was notified by e-mail on
Sunday February 15, 2009 that Father and Mackie were in Oregon and
that a timely return had then become problematic. The reasons that the
trip was not discussed in advance with the mother will be discussed at
-1-
hearing but are many and substantial. The mother has a long history of
blocking or otherwise interfering with out of state travel during father's
parenting time going back several years. Every trip attempted or taken
has been so impacted, most with full knowledge of the child.
8. Paragraph 8, Agreed:
9. Paragraph 9 Do Not Concur: Father executed the "Planned Absence
Form", just after a scheduled parent teacher conference. The conference
was held at 11:20 AM on February 12, 2009. Father was advised by the
school secretary that the school would be closed for the long MI.K Holiday
weekend at 1 PM that same day; and, that the form had to be completed
by that time. When father attempted to reach mother by telephone to
discuss the matter, and have the form completed by the deadline; mother
who was at work where she serves in administrative capacity in a skilled
nursing facility, thrice refused to take my phone call. Since the deadline
to complete the form and return it to the school had then passed, I
elected to make the trip anyway, but without necessitating any absence
from school; thus obviating the need for the form in the first place.
Mother in the almost 7 years since our separation has been exceedingly
difficult to communicate with despite the continuing adverse impact on
our son, and this causes continued exacerbation of even the most minor
of parenting problems. She similarly refuses, in clear violation of the
order, to communicate adequately with the court appointed parenting
-2-
coordinator, Had she simply accepted any the calls to her cell phone or to
her office phone in a reasonable time frame this needless controversy
could once again have been avoided in its entirety.
10. Paragraph 10, Do Not Concur: NO Violations have been proven.
Furthermore, Father believes it is the Mother and Plaintiff in this absurd
action that has acted in violation of the order. The Mother, oddly enough
on the perverse advice of her ill-informed counsel, apparently seeks to
have this foreign order enforced against herself. The hearing referred to
has been reset, but the custody conciliator has also been appointed
guardian ad litem for another of mother's ill founded actions against the
father; the sole objective of which seems to be, to by any means possible
deprive father of court ordered parenting time, again regardless of the
adverse impact on the minor child.
11. Paragraph 11, Do Not Concur: This matter needs to be heard when it
can be heard in its entirety with adequate attention paid to the continuing
duplicity of the mother in bringing these spurious and unwarranted
actions, full of half-truths and selective limited disclosure to the Court of
Oregon Statutes and related Family Law Procedures. Alternatively this
matter should be referred back to the Court Appointed Parenting
Coordinator, Dr. Stanley Schneider of Camp Hill Pennsylvania as provided
by the Oregon order for resolution or remanded to Clackamas County,
Oregon for further order of that Court.

12. Paragraph 12, Agreed:
13. Paragraph 11, Agreed:
WHEREFORE, Defendant hereby moves that this Honorable Court dismiss the Plaintiffs
Petition with Prejudice, and provide such additional relief as the Court may deem
appropriate.
Respectfully Submitted,

: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
: No. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
IN CUSTODY
ANSWER AND FURTHER PETITION FOR EMERGENCY SPECIAL RELIEF PURSUANT TO
23 Pa C S.A SECTION 5424
AND NOW comes Respondent, George M. Cornwall, the above Defendant,
appearing Pro-Se, and concerning the Plaintiff's petition, avers as follows:
1. Paragraph 1, Agreed:
2. Paragraph 2, Agreed:
3. Paragraph 3, Agreed:
4. Paragraph 4, Agreed:
5. Paragraph S. Do not concur: The Wednesday parenting time extends
until 8:15 AM the following Thursday. The alternate weekends are
actually of sixty-five (65) hours duration.
6. Paragraph 6, Do Not Concur: At no time did father enter the
bathroom nor touch the child. The images in question were taken at a
measured distance of 11 feet 8 inches outside the open bathroom door.
The shower is enclosed by an opaque glass door which remained under
-1-
the control of the child and was closed throughout the shower. The
location from which the camera was used is demarked by stair-step
leading to a landing serving the household laundry area. It was not "a
camera", it was a small digital camera given to the child about a half-
hour previously at the child's request. The camera was in a small kit which
included instructions, a book on digital photography, and a computer
(USB) cable, and editing software. There were no "pictures" taken of the
child or anything else, rather about six (6) digital images that were only
retained in the SD card in the camera. The camera itself can not retain
images since it is a very basic model. The first four images, two of the
child, two of the dog were too faint because the very simple camera was
using in "flash" function; in the all white and highly reflective bathroom,
when it was not required. Father was unfamiliar with the camera and
could not turn off the flash until the child informed him on how to do so.
In any case, in the images "deleted" the child was fully wrapped in his
towel and was in no sense of the word "nude". Furthermore, the pictures
so "deleted" are still present on the SD card, only the index record has
been deleted. They can easily be restored in a few moments at nominal
cost, however they are as been repeatedly stated of very poor quality;
however, none of these are "pictures" at all, they are "images". They only
reason the two images that were retained were so retained was so that
-2-
they could be used by the child for training purposes with the software
also given to him that same evening, specifically for cropping.
7. Paragraph 7, Do Not Concur: This is an absolute fabrication. AT NO
TIME DID I TELL, DIRECT, OR SUGGEST that the child DROP, REMOVE,
Take off or do any at all with the towel, NOR did I take any pictures
except the 6 or eight described, half of Mackie half of the dog for the sole
purpose of testing the camera and getting some images to edit. The dog
was in the hallway outside the bathroom door; the boy was in the area
outside the bathtub where one normally shaves or brushes teeth. After I
learned how to properly control the flash, I took two more pictures; one of
the child and one of the dog. When I looked through the view finder, a
very basic one the picture looked fine, but in the preview screen I saw a
problem, in that he had opened the towel and as a result his penis was
albeit from a distance of almost 12 feet, partially revealed. The picture of
the dog was adequate for editing but no better than that. I told Mackie
that he could you the picture for editing but that he had to get ready for
bed then and to brush his teeth and I would load the software and we
could fix the picture before school in the morning. He wanted to edit the
picture right then but I told him I had to load the software first and he
needed to get to bed. He complied and I ticked him in after he climbed
into his bunk bed. I tried to load the software but was unable to do so,
because the CD Rom drive could not read the mini CD on which the
-3-
software had been delivered with the camera. By the time I discovered
the problem, Mackie was asleep.
8. Paragraph 8, Do Not Concur: Mackie and Father discussed the
situation on Thursday Morning. I suggested that Mackie simply leave the
camera with me until the next visit when we would load the software and
edit the picture or take new ones instead. Mackie was disappointed and
asked to take the camera to his mother's house. I agreed provided he
promised to show the camera and the images one of the dog one of
himself only to his mother to ask her permission to work on them. I
specifically told him, "Explain that they are just to practice editing, and
this one in particular needs to be cropped". "IF Mom has a problem with
it, delete it, you know how to do that?" He replied that he understood,
and I said, "Be sure and tell her the camera itself doesn't save pictures,
only the card, and we didn't upload any pictures or print them." He
replied that he would. I said "Do not even show the camera to anyone
but Mom". Again Mackie replied that he understood. A further Issue is
that I do not concur that the Mount Holly Police Department is the proper
agency to be investigating this matter. The mother resides in Gardners
and apparently was shown the camera and the SD card there. The CYS
report was apparently made in Carlisle. Mother has made repeated
adverse reports to the Mt Holly Police and numerous legal actions
involving alleged improper police conduct and failure to properly apply
-4-
The Pennsylvania Vehicle Code between the Mt. Holly Police department
and Father. Mother has no way have any evidence that the single image
in question was taken in the Borough of Mt. Holly Springs, or even in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; my description of the distance from
which the image in question was taken not withstanding. Furthermore, I
have additional litigation and claims pending against the Borough and
relating to these and other matters; therefore pending resolution of the
previously existing matters, I intend to pursue any and all remedies that
may be available to me to challenge any investigation of these outrageous
allegations by this highly biased and most un-professional police
department.
9. Paragraph 9, Do Not Concur: Father is an Oregon resident and does
not admit that there is any basis for this matter to fall under the
jurisdiction of the police Department of the Borough of Mount Holly
Springs and cites evidence of bias and prior litigation in progress involving
both Chief Goodhart and Officer Weiser and respectfully requests that this
matter be investigated by either the Pennsylvania State Police where Mrs.
Cornwall resides, or by the Carlisle Police Department where the CYS
report was made.
10. Paragraph 10, Do Not Concur: The so called "Safety Plan" was not
officially issued until March 26th when both parents received notification
that it had been issued. The fact that CYS apparently encouraged mother
-5-
to unilaterally implement the terms of the "Safety Plan" based on the
single problematic image and the provably false additional allegations of
the mother, without any consideration on the impact on the foreign order
NOR on its impact on the parenting awarded under the foreign order.
Specifically, the mother should have reported the matter IMMEDIATELY to
the court appointed Parenting Coordinator. Instead, she was apparently
told to unilaterally impose the terms of the so called "Safety Plan", remove
the child from school, and refuse to communicate in any manner with the
father. When the father attempted to inquire about the child, mother
LIED to the father repeatedly, and eventually threatened, through a
Complaint to the Mount Holly Police Department to have father arrested
on charges of harassment, when in fact, Mother was in clear violation of
the Oregon (Foreign Order, by her failure to simply communicate the
status of affairs either directly to the father, or as directed in the order to
the Court Appointed Parenting Coordinator. On or about March 2e, a
uniformed office of the Mount Holly Police Department told father at his
secondary residence which is in fact owned by a Trust being established
for the benefit of the Child, that I was to be arrested and jailed for the
alleged crime of trying to determine the reason I had not heard from the
child in accordance with the Oregon order in almost a week. This entire
tempest over a largely innocuous image on a small camera given the child
so he could learn to edit digital images on the computer he owns.
-6-
11. Paragraph 11, Do Not Concur: The mother has a long history of over
reaching claims that have at their heart a desperate attempt to exclude
father from parenting. Our court appointed parenting coordinator Dr.
Stanley Schneider of Camp Hill has been working very closely with both
parents under the terms of his appointment under the Oregon order and
would be the best person to advise the Court as to the disposition of this
case. For the information of the Court, we have for the last eighteen
months been working with Dr. Schneider on an Agreement in Principle
which was intended to allow us to draft a stipulated agreement to be filed
with this Court requesting an Order as to Jurisdiction, Custody, and a
revised Parenting Plan to better meet the best interests of our son. As Dr.
Schneider may well confirm, when mother began to sense a loss of total
control, she commenced this series of contempt actions which are
currently pending before the Court. It is my opinion that this "Dirty
Picture" allegation is nothing more nor less than a "bonus extension of
this effort, dragging the CYS system into the battle as well. The Court
would perhaps be interested to remember that mother was required to
post a cash bond in the amount of $5,000 with this court in 2001 to
assure her compliance with the terns of her custody order in her first
dissolution. Mother does not willingly allow her ex-spouses to parent and
has a history of taking extreme measures to minimize contact between
the two of us former spouses and HER children.
-7-
12. Paragraph 12, Do Not Concur: The single three count misdemeanor
charge in municipal court was resolved with a no contest plea; I entered
the pleas at mother's request, frankly hoping to foster a reconciliation,
because she begged me to do so, to save her daughter the stress of a
Trial where she would have been forced to admit that the relationship was
fully consensual. In any case a single charge of even three counts hardly
constitutes a "long history"
13. Paragraph 13, Do Not Concur: The woman was NOT about 17, she
was as Ms. Snyder is fully aware, Nineteen (19).
14. Paragraph 14, Do Not Concur: No Idea what unsubstantiated
allegations are being made here, except I once gave some neighborhood
children brief low speed rides on a scooter, a distance of about 130 feet,
at their request in broad day light when at least four children and
numerous neighbors were present. I categorically deny ever offering any
of them any "Walnettos". In any case, that would be a single warning,
thus not plural warnings, again more malicious gossip from my ex-spouse
and her confidants in the Holly Police.
15. Paragraph 13, Do Not Concur: The Honorable Judge Hoefer said
from the bench that she had NOT proved her case for the PFA, but that
since this his penultimate day or thereabouts on the bench, he was never
the less going to give her the PFA which had been in effect for some
months on an emergency basis anyway. On appeal, Sean Schultz Esquire
-8-
was unable to argue that the by then retired Judge had made a reversible
error, though it was obvious to all concemed what had occurred. I have
no knowledge of which hotel I am alleged to have been on March 241 or
25t'; however, I frequently because I am Diamond status with the Hilton
chain and Platinum with the Marriott Chain, frequently use the computer
services at the Hampton Inn, The Marriott Fairfield Inn, and the Marriott
Residence Inn in Carlisle as well as the Comfort Suites on the Square. I
also visit The Panera for the same reason, free WIFI. I have also stayed
for various reasons at the Fairfield recently, but I do not know the exact
dates. When Mackie and I were in Oregon recently, we also stayed at a
Marriott Fairfield Inn. That is the newest hotel in Carlisle and among the
nicest. Last I knew Stephanie like the Day's Inn for her Carlisle Hotel
stays. In any case, Stephanie may well have seen me I didn't see her,
and did not at that date know anything about the so called safety plan. At
that time it was once again she, not I that was acting in Contempt of the
Oregon order.
16. Paragraph 16, Do Not Concur: I filed all my documents in this case
with the Prothonotary just as are all civil documents in the County of
Cumberland. I have no way to direct where the Prothonotary sends, or
chooses not to send, my or any other documents. After four successive
petitions had been returned without action, I asked which Judge had seen
them. I was told they had been to the Honorable Edgar Bayley.
-9-
Thereafter I wrote an informal letter to Judge Bayley seeking guidance; all
of this transpired well prior to mother filing the first of the various filings
for the Custody Conciliator Meeting and the ill advised CYA action. Since
The Honorable Judge Guido approved the interim Safety Plan, and set
over the initial petition for special relief, I assume that this document will
be added to his docket.
17. Paragraph 17, Agreed:
18. This dissolution and custody case has been exceptionally long and costly
but also painfully arduous and damaging to all the parties, especially to
the minor child Mackie. The relationship between father and son has
been assailed repeatedly by mother's seemingly relentless vendetta
against the father's legitimate rights to parent his son in peace and
tranquility. NOT a single parenting time has been free from onslaught
over some matter or another. Police have been called to intervene on
some pretext or another at least a dozen times. The child is well aware of
the manifest unfairness of the mother's antagonism toward the father and
will freely express it despite his firm love for his mother. Petitioner
recognizes that the court has no choice but to allow CYA to complete its
investigation but suggests that under the circumstances that the following
be ordered.
A. That CYS be directed to appoint replacement Counsel for Petitioner forthwith.
The present counsel was unwilling to pursue this case with vigor and found it
-10-
entirely appropriate to wait 20 days between appointment with father to meet
on and discuss the case. I did not find that at all adequate and said as much.
B. To order that a Police agency other than the Borough of Mount Holly Springs
Police Department investigate this matter since they do not appear to have
jurisdiction.
C. Petitioner is willing and desires to submit to a polygraph examination on any
matters relating to this case. Petitioner requests that this be court ordered at
an early date.
D. Petitioner believes that the relationship between father and son will suffer
irreparable harm given the current excessive and draconian "Safety Plan".
The father and son have been communicating by phone for over 5 years
since dissolution and Petitioner believes that the is no substantive danger to
the child nor any real risk of compromising the CYS investigation if father is
once again allowed to resume the thrice weekly 15 minute phone calls as
provided for under the Oregon order. This is vital to the preservation of the
badly damaged relationship between father and son, and is clearly in the best
interests of the child.
E. The Petitioner requests that the Court direct CYS to complete their
investigation promptly and that the hearing in this matter be scheduled prior
to April 17"'. For the information of the Court, the intake case worker took
the initial report on March loth and directed the mother to begin unilaterally
imposing the conditions of the Safety Plan. However as of March 25th, the
-11-
matter was not in the CYS data base, and I was not informed of the matter
until late on the 2e of March. So much for "Emergency" conditions. This
dedicated intake caseworker was also able to take a four day Holiday
weekend over Easter even though he was not able to respond to any of the
issues I mention here during the week prior to Good Friday, despite repeated
oral and written requests to do so.
F. Finally Petitioner requests that the Court order that CYS promptly conduct an
internal review of the conduct of the Carlisle Office Personnel in the handling
of this complaint and the spurious allegations contained therein, and render a
report to this Court within fifteen (15) days. It appears obvious to me that
that the mother's allegations were accepted at face value and further that no
due diligence of any kind was performed on the complainant. Further that an
unconscionable delay was allowed irrespective of the fact that an interstate
custody and parenting order was not only in effect but also on behalf of the
complainant MgIsUred for enforcement in Cumberland County. This
caused the father to take perfectly reasonable action, from his uninformed
point of view, which was initially confirmed by CYS in writing that could well
have led to his arrest for simply inquiring as to the health and well being of
the child. CYS was reckless and cavalier in its initial presumption that father
was guilty if charged, and therefore entitled to no consideration or protection
whatsoever. This is an absolute outrage and should be addressed with a
-12-
view to immediate corrective action for this case and the strongest possible
prophylactic and corrective disciplinary action.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests your Honorable Court exercise temporary
emergency jurisdiction and enter a revised order amending the CYS "Safety Plan"
to permit thrice weekly telephone contact between father and the minor child,
while still prohibiting physical contact pending the hearing. Further, it is
requested that This Honorable Court Order CYS to process this case with all
deliberate speed given the dubious nature of the allegations against the father
and the severe impact of the "Safety Plan" on the minor child, and the adverse
impact on the fragile relationship between father and son. Additionally, it is
further requested that The Court direct that refer this matter to a Police agency
other than the Mt. Holly Springs Police Department, should CYS in is wisdom,
determine that a Police investigation is still warranted. Additionally it is
requested that CYS be directed to provide Polygraph examination services to
assess the credibility of the father and any other party willing to avail themselves
of such services.
Finally it is additionally requested that this Court appoint a replacement attorney
for the father forthwith and Direct that the court appointed Parenting
Coordinator, Dr. Schneider of Camp Hill be requested or ordered to make a
submission to the Court regarding his work on this case to the Court within ten
(10) days. An internal Investigation of the CYS conduct is also requested.
-13-
WHEREFORE, Defendant hereby moves that this Honorable Court provide the forms of
special relief enumerated above, and provide such additional relief as the Court may
deem appropriate.

GEORGE M. CORNWALL, No. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
Defendant IN CUSTODY
AND NOW comes Petitioner, George M. Cornwall, the above named Defendant,
proceeding in forma pauperis, and appearing Pro-Se, and petitions the court as follows:
1. Petitioner, hereinafter "Father," is George M. Cornwall, the above named
Defendant.
2. Respondent, hereinafter "Mother," is Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above
named Plaintiff.
3. The parties are the natural parents of George Mackie Cornwall, IV, born
November 11, 1998.
4. The Parties are subject to an Order of the Court dated April 24, 2007 from
the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Clackamas with
said Order being registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2008, and filed
under Prothonotary Docket 08-0608. Numerous copies of this lengthy
document and its attachments have previously been provided to the
Court, and they are incorporated by reference.
-i-
5. Pursuant to the Order, and as properly modified by the Court Appointed
Parenting Coordinator, Father exercises periods of custody every
Wednesday afternoon and evening through the following Thursday
morning at 8:30 AM, and alternate sixty-five ((65) hour weekends.
6. The Oregon Order appointed Dr. Stanley Schneider and his Organization
Guidance Associates of PA, both of Camp Hill, PA to serve as Parenting
Coordinator for such time as the parties needed such services. The order
specifically directs the Parties to cooperate with the Parenting Coordinator
in all respects, including allowing the Parenting Coordinator to arbitrate
any matter of conflict relating to parenting.
7. Pursuant to the Oregon Order, the parties have been working under the
guidance and direction of the parenting coordinator on the creation of an
Agreement in Principle (AIP) regarding a proposed "Stipulated Order of
Custody and Parenting" which was to have been entered with this Court
upon completion, since late in Calendar 2007. Throughout the process,
mother has been far less than diligent in this work, failing to complete
agreed homework, and returning time after time to old alleged character
defects in "father" instead of completing agreed upon tasks.
8. Collectively Mothers' tactics seemed intended to MR the nroa . She
frequently canceled scheduled sessions at the last minute, at least once
after Father had flown from ASIA to attend the session. At Hearing Dr.
-2-
Schneider, the Parenting Coordinator will be called to testify concerning
the progress, or lack thereof, on the AIR
9. Mother's willful actions to disrupt the AT process constitute acts of
Contempt under both Oregon and Pennsylvania Child Custody Law.
10. On March 20, 2009, on what will be shown at Hearing to be a spurious
allegation concerning a single digital image on a digital camera given to
our son for his use for photo editing training purposes. That report
augmented by additional provably false allegations was filed with CYA and
a "safety" plan was unilaterally implemented by Mother who refused to
communicate in any way with father concerning the masons scheduled
parenting times and telephonic contact was disrupted. Although CYA may
well have directed or encouraged Mother to act in this manner in an
excess of caution. Mother's failure to also report the matter to the
Parenting Coordinator as required under the Oregon Osier so to do,
constituted an Act of Contempt.
11. Finally, while continuing both this instant litigation to enforce the Oregon
order in this Court, and the completely spurious CYA Complaint, mother
through her Oregon Counsel filed to have the Oregon Order vacated and
transferred to Pennsylvania. Father Vigorously opposes this action, largely
because the excellent work performed by the Parenting Coordinator in
protecting the best interests of our son will be at risk of being lost since
Pennsylvania Child Custody Law does not currently provide for the
-3-
appointment of Parenting Coordinators. Such services are clearly
warranted, indeed essential in this case given the long history of
duplicitous conduct and statements by Mother in addressing this court.
The child is also a SDCTH generation Oregonian, and Father intends to
continue to reside in Oregon permanently, and would be there now save
for this nightmare litigation. Father, though 65 next month, is in the final
stages of employment negotiations in Oregon.
12. The Court is reminded that in her prior Custody Case involving her
repeated inability to comply with the orders of this COURT; Mother was
required to post Cash Surety Bond in the amount of $5,000 to
assure the Court that its orders would be followed in the future.
13. For the information of the Court, a request for an investigation by the
Pennsylvania Department of Welfare into the handling of the Complaint
against me by the Cumberland County Office of CYA at Carlisle has been
filed and is currently pending. My Court appointed CYA counsel resigned
to allow her to be free to handle a criminal case and take vacation on April
6, 2009 and has not been replaced.
14. It is my Understanding that the Honorable Judge Guido has signed the
temporary CYA order in this case, but that no prior Judge has been
involved in the Custody case. A custody conciliator meeting has been set
several times but that meeting has been reset repeatedly, and the
-4-
Conciliator has also been appointed Guardian Ad Utem for the Child in the
CYSA complaint, thus endangering the Conciliator meeting.
15. Father continues to believe that resumption of work on the AT is the best
and most expedient resolution of all of these matters, and that that is the
Optimum Global Solution. Dr. Schneider has previously agreed to resume
work provided Mother will agree to do so in diligent "good faith", without
needless impediments to communication and "hidden agendae".
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court adjudge the Respondent in
contempt of the Order registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2048, to
impose such sanctions and penalties as the Court deems appropriate to assure
the Respondent's future compliance the Court's Orders in this matter, the
Petitioner be awarded compensatory custodial time from the time wrongfully
deprived from him by Respondent, and that Respondent AGAIN be required to
post CASH BOND which the Court deems sufficient to deter such irresponsible
conduct to the detriment of the minor child in the future.

5. Paragraph S. Do not concur: The Wednesday parenting time extends
until 8:15 AM the following Thursday. The alternate weekends are
actually of sixty-five (65) hours duration.
6. Paragraphi 6, Do Not Concur: At no time did father enter the
bathroom or touch the child. The images in question were taken at a
measured distance of 11 feet 8 inches outside the open bathroom door.
The showe is enclosed by an opaque glass door which remained under
the control of the child and was closed throughout the shower. The
location fro which the camera was used is demarked by stair-step
leading to landing serving the household laundry area. It was not "a
camera", it was a small digital camera given to the child about a half-
hour previo ly at the child's request. The camera was in a small kit which
included in ions, a book on digital photography, and a computer
(USB) cable and editing software. There were no "pictures" taken of the
child or an ing else, rather about six (6) digital images that were only
retained in a SD card in the camera. The camera itself can not retain
images si it is a very basic model. The first four images, two of the
child, two the dog were too faint because the very simple camera was
using in "fl sh" function; in the all white and highly reflective bathroom,
when it wa not required. Father was unfamiliar with the camera and
could not m off the flash until the child informed him on how to do so.
In any case, in the images "deleted" the child was fully wrapped in his

the picture looked fine, but in the preview screen I saw a
problem, inj that he had opened the towel and as a result his penis was
albeit from 0 distance of almost 12 feet, partially revealed. The picture of
the dog wa$ adequate for editing but no better than that. I tad Mackie
that he could you the picture for editing but that he had to get ready for
bed then ahd to brush his teeth and I would load the software and we
could fix th0 picture before school in the morning. He wanted to edit the
picture right then but I told him I had to load the software first and he
needed to §et to bed. He complied and I ticked him in after he climbed
into his book bed. I tried to load the software but was unable to do so,
because the CD Rom drive could not read the mini CD on which the
-3-
software had been delivered with the camera. By the time I discovered
the Drobleml Mackie was asleep.
8. Paragraph 8, Do Not Concur. Mackie and Father discussed the
situation on Thursday Morning. I suggested that Mackie simply leave the
camera wi me until the next visit when we would load the software and
edit the picture or take new ones instead. Mackie was disappointed and
asked to tae the camera to his mother's house. I agreed provided he
promised t show the camera and the images one of the dog one of
himself on to his mother to ask her permission to work on them. I
specifically told him, "Explain that they are just to practice editing, and
this one in rticular needs to be cropped". "IF Mom has a problem with
it, delete it you know how to do that?" He replied that he understood,
and I said, "Be sure and tell her the camera itself doesn't save pictures,
only the rd, and we didn't upload any pictures or print them." He
replied that would. I said "Do not even show the camera to anyone
but Mom". Again Mackie replied that he understood. A further Issue is
that I do not concur that the Mount Holly Police Department is the proper
agency to investigating this matter. The mother resides in Gardners
and aooaretlv was shown the camera and the SD card there. The CYS

both Chief Oodhart and Officer Weiser and respectfully requests that this

10, Do Not Concur: The so called "Safety Plan" was not

that it had ¢een issued. The fact that CYS apparently encouraged mother
-5-
to unilatera ly implement the terns of the "Safety Plan" based on the
single problematic image and the provably false additional allegations of
the mother, without any consideration on the impact on the foreign order
NOR on its impact on the parenting awarded under the foreign order.
Specifically, the mother should have reported the matter IMMEDIATELY to
the court appointed Parenting Coordinator. Instead, she was apparently
told to unilaterally impose the terms of the so called "Safety Plan", remove
the child frcm school, and refuse to communicate in any manner with the
father. When the father attempted to inquire about the child, mother
LIED to the father repeatedly, and eventually threatened, through a
Complaint the Mount Holly Police Department to have fatther arrested
on charges harassment, when in fact, Mother was in clear violation of
the Oregon (Foreign Order, by her failure to simply communicate the
status of affairs either directly to the father, or as directed in the order to
the Court Appointed Parenting Coordinator. On or about March 2e, a
uniformed office of the Mount Holly Police Department told father at his
secondary idence which is in fact owned by a Trust being established
for the ben fit of the Child, that I was to be arrested and jailed for the
alleged crime of trying to determine the reason I had not heard from the

13. Paragraph 13, Do Not Concur. The woman was NOT about 17, she
was as Ms. Snyder is fully aware, Nineteen (19).
14. Paragraph 14, Do Not Concur: No Idea what unsubstantiated
allegations are being made here, except I once gave some neighborhood
children brief low speed rides on a scooter, a distance of about 130 feet,
at their request in broad day light when at least four children and
numerous n 'ghbors were present. I categorically deny ever offering any
of them an "Wainettos". In any case, that would be a single warning,
thus not plural warnings, again more malicious gossip from my ex-spouse
and her confidants in the Holly Police.
15. Paragraph 13, Do Not Concur: The Honorable Judge Hoefer said
from the bench that she had NOT proved her case for the PFA, but that
since this hi penultimate day or thereabouts on the bench, he was never
the less goi to give her the PFA which had been in effect for some
months on a
i emergency basis anyway. On appeal, Sean Schultz Esquire

no know of which hotel I am alleged to have been on March 24th or

Residence I fin in Carlisle as well as the Comfort Suites on the Square. I
also visit Panera for the same reason, free WIFI. I have also stayed
for various ieasons at the Fairfield recently, but I do not know the exact
dates. n Mackie and I were in Oregon recently, we also stayed at a
Marriott Fairfield Inn. That is the newest hotel in Carlisle and among the
nicest. Las, I knew Stephanie like the Day's Inn for her Carlisle Hotel
stays. In any case, Stephanie may well have seen me I didnt see her,
and did not t that date know anything about the so called safety plan. At
that time it as once again she, not I that was acting in Contempt of the
Oregon ordor.

I have no way to direct where the Prothonotary sends, or

B. To order that a Police agency other than the Borough of Mount Holly Springs

C. Petitioner is wi ling and desires to submit to a polygraph examination on any

an early date.
D. Petitioner belied es that the relationship between father and son will suffer

The father an son have been communicating by phone for over 5 years
since dissolution and Petitioner believes that the is no substantive danger to
the child nor any real risk of compromising the CYS investigation if father is
once again all wed to resume the thrice weekly 15 minute phone calls as
provided for urder the Oregon order. This is vital to the preservation of the
badly damaged relationship between fader and son, and is clearly in the best
interests of the child.
E. The Petitions requests that the Court direct CYS to complete their

Dnditions of the Safety Plan. However as of March 25th, the
-11-
matter was not in the CYS data base, and I was not informed of the matter
until late on tho 26"' of March. So much for "Emergency" conditions. This
dedicated int$e caseworker was also able to take a four day Holiday
weekend over faster even though he was not able to respond to any of the
issues I mention here during the week prior to Good Friday, despite repeated
oral and written requests to do so.
F. Finally Petitioner requests that the Court order that CYS promptly conduct an
internal review Hof the conduct of the Carlisle Office Personnel in the handling
of this complairM and the spurious allegations contained therein, and render a
report to this ourt within fifteen (15) days. It appears obvious to me that
that the mother's allegations were accepted at face value and further that no
due diligence of any kind was performed on the complainant. Further that an
unconscionable delay was allowed irrespective of the fact that an interstate
custody and parenting order was not only in effect but also on behalf of the
complainant f4ahftied for enforcement in Cumberland County. This
caused the fathher to take perfectly reasonable action, from his uninformed
point of view, *hich was initially confirmed by CYS in writing that could well
have led to his arrest for simply inquiring as to the health and well being of
the child. CYS was reckless and cavalier in its initial presumption that father
was guilty if chorged, and therefore entitled to no consideration or protection
whatsoever. T?his is an absolute outrage and should be addressed with a
-12-
View to immedi?te corrective action for this case and the strongest possible
prophylactic an? corrective disciplinary action.
WHEREFORE, ' 'oner requests your Honorable Court exercise temporary
emergency jurisdi 'on and enter a revised order amending the CYS "Safety Plan"
to permit thrice w kly telephone contact between father and the minor child,
while still prohibiting physical contact pending the hearing. Further, it is
requested that Th s Honorable Court Order CYS to process this case with all
deliberate speed ven the dubious nature of the allegations against the father
and the severe impact of the "Safety Plan" on the minor child, and the adverse
impact on the fragile relationship between father and son. Additionally, it is
further requested at The Court direct that refer this matter to a Police agency
other than the Mt. Holly Springs Police Department, should CYS in is wisdom,
determine that a Police investigation is still warranted. Additionally it is
requested that C?S be directed to provide Polygraph examination services to
assess the credibility of the father and any other party willing to avail themselves
of such services.
Finally it is additio ally requested that this Court appoint a replacement attorney
for the father forthwith and Direct that the court appointed Parenting
Coordinator, Dr. Schneider of Camp Hill be requested or ordered to make a
submission to the Court regarding his work on this case to the Court within ten
(10) days. An in rnal Investigation of the CYS conduct is also requested.

WHEREFORE, Defendant hereby moves that this Honorable Court provide the forms of
special relief enumerated above, and provide such additional relief as the Court may
deem appropriate.

No. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
AND NOW COMES PETITIONER, GEORGE M. CORNWALL, THE ABOVE NAMED DEFENDANT,
PROCEEDING IN FORMA PAUPERIS, AND APPEARING, PROSE, AND PETITIONS THE COURT AS FOLLOWS:
1. Petitioner, hereinafter "Father", is George M. Cornwall, the above named
Defendant.
2. Respondent, hereinafter "Mother" is Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above named
Plaintiff.
3. The parties are the natural parents of George Mackie Cornwall, IV, and born
November 11, 1998.
4. The parties are subject to an order of the Court dated April 24, 2007 from the
Circuit Court of the State of Oregon of the county of Clackamas with said order
being registered in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2008, and filed under
Prothonotary Docket 08-0608. Numerous copies of this lengthy document and
its attachments have previously been provided to the Court, and they are
therefore incorporated herewith by reference.
5. The Order provides for both parents to cooperate with the Court appointed
Parenting Coordinator. The duly appointed Parenting Coordinator, being Dr.
Stanley Schneider of Guidance Associates of PA, of Camp Hill, PA. The order
specifically directs that both parents cooperate fully with the Parenting
Coordinator in all respects, including allowing the Parenting Coordinator to make
binding arbitration decisions in the best interests of the minor child in the event
the parents are unable to resolve any parenting issue.
6. Pursuant to the Order, as modified slightly to reflect changing best interests of
the minor child by the parenting coordinator, the Father exercises periods of
custody every Wednesday afternoon after school through the following Thursday
morning's commencement of school.
7. Mother has repeated refused to cooperate with the Parenting Coordinator, in the
following ways:
a. Refusing to work in good faith on agreed up tasks in joint sessions
concerning parenting matters.
b. Canceling sessions on short notice and on dubious grounds.
c. Commencing litigation in Pennsylvania seeking enforcement of the
terms of the Oregon order, under facts and circumstances where it was
clear that she, rather than the than the Parenting Coordinator or the
father, was acting in violation of the very order she sought to have
enforced.
d. Refused to even discuss the order or the status of the case with the
Parenting Coordinator on or about March 30, 2009.
e. Refuses to discuss the Oregon Order or her intentions with Father under
any circumstances, despite repeated requests to do so.
f. While at the same time having multiple petitions before this Court to
enforce the instant Order, has also Petitioned Oregon Circuit Court for
Clackamas County to have the self same order dismissed.
8. The Court is reminded that Mother in her first divorce case some 5 years after
the initial dissolution order had been issued was required to post a substantial
cash balance ($5,000) with this Court for a period in excess of two years, in lieu
of jail time to assure her compliance with then current parenting plans.
Cumberland County Docket 95-1588, which runs well over 350 pages, is
germane.
9. Mother has also initiated a CYS complaint on spurious grounds in an attempt to
obfuscate the issues, all of which actions have had a severe negative impact on
the minor child, and deprived father unjustly of parenting time for at least 60
days as well as caused severe emotional and financial trauma to father
needlessly, with no thought to the short or longer term impact on the child -
parent relationship.
10. It is further requested that the Court order the mother to resume contact with
the parenting coordinator, to post a deposit in the amount of $10,000 with this
court until November 12, 2016 at which time the child shall have attained the
age of Eighteen years of age, and further to pay Treble Damages by cashier's
check to father in the base amount of $10.00, and such additional relief as this
honorable Court shall deem reasonable in the circumstances. Ideally Mother
should be ordered to refrain from spurious calls to the Police and to undergo
counseling for a period of at least Four years on parenting matters and
communications with the other parent so as to mitigate the damage to the child
that has already occurred.

Prothonotary Docket 08-0608. Numerous copies of this lengthy document and
its attachments have previously been provided to the Court, and they are
therefore incorporated herewith by reference.
5. The Order provides for both parents to cooperate with the Court appointed
Parenting Coordinator. The duly appointed Parenting Coordinator, being Dr.
Stanley Schneider of Guidance Associates of PA, of Camp Hill, PA. The order
specifically directs that both parents cooperate fully with the Parenting
Coordinator in all respects, including allowing the Parenting Coordinator to make
binding arbitration decisions in the best interests of the minor child in the event
the parents are unable to resolve any parenting issue.
6. Pursuant to the Order, as modified slightly to reflect changing best interests of
the minor child by the parenting coordinator, the Father exercises periods of
custody every Wednesday afternoon after school through the following Thursday
morning's commencement of school.
7. Mother repeatedly refused to communicate with father throughout the pendency
of the Oregon Order in any meaningful way.
8. Specifically mother routinely:
a. Refuses to answer telephone communications even if present when
incoming calls are received, either to landline or mobile numbers.
b. Mother does not promptly return calls placed on TAD's or voice mail
systems. Most calls are simply not answered at all.
c. Mother refuses calls or messages left at places of employment.
d. Complains to Police agencies, relatives, school employees, churches,
father's relatives and parents of the minor child's peers that calls are
unwelcome.
e. Attempts to miss characterize calls as being other than legitimate
administrative or coordinating calls about parenting arrangements or
concerns.
f. Makes the minor child aware that calls from Father are unwelcome.
g. Makes it difficult if not impossible to effect minor rescheduling of court
ordered communication calls with the minor child.
9. Mother has on at least two occasions wrongfully deprived father of knowledge of
the current address and telephone numbers where the child may be reached in
the event of an urgent need or emergency situation.
a. The availability of such information is mandated irrespective of whether
or not there may also exist contemporaneously any restriction on use of
that information by father for routine contact. Father is never the less
entitled to have that information, and it is to be current and accurate at
all times.
b. Moreover in at least one case, the impediment on contact between
father and child was the direct result of spurious allegations raised by
mother for the sole purpose of hampering the relationship between
father and child.
10. Mother apparently suffers from acute psychological defect(s) that have caused
this behavior which is highly prejudicial to the best interests of the minor child.
11. Father earnestly requests that the Court direct that mother provide the correct
contact information IMMEDIATELY, and further, that mother be directed to
ensure that contact information be keep current at all time, including for each
instance of interstate travel and all instances of overnight travel over forty-eight
(48) hour's duration through November 15, 2016.
12. Mother agreed to apply for a passport for the minor child and began but did not
complete that application. Father requests that the Court Direct that the
Passport Application be completed and filed with the Passport Agency in Carlisle,
PA not later than June 1, 2009. Father Also recommends to the Court the
following additional points;
a. I respectfully suggest that all fees be paid by the mother subject to fifty
percent reimbursement when the passport document has been delivered
to mother.
b. As we originally agreed, the passport shall be retained by the primary
custodial parent and the Parenting Coordinator shall resolve any issues
surrounding its use by either parent for travel purposes.
c. The Minor Child's Passport should not be used for other than travel
purposes without the advance approval of the Parenting Coordinator.
13. Mother also may well elect to have the child forgo Swimming lessons, day camp
and summer residential camp since Father is precluded from contacting the child
to ensure that these matters are attended to.
a. Mother refused to schedule swimming lessons for twp years despite
various promises to the parenting coordinator to do so. Citing various
reasons such as inability to read a calendar.
b. Mother refused adequate summer day care or day camp opportunities
until father arranged a scholarship at the YMCA camp at Opossum Lake.
14. The Court is reminded that Mother in her first divorce case some 5 years after
the initial dissolution order had been issued was required to post a substantial
cash balance ($5,000) with this Court for a period in excess of two years, in lieu
of jail time to assure her compliance with then current parenting plans.
Cumberland County Docket 95-1588, which runs well over 350 pages, is
germane.
15. Mother has also initiated a CYS complaint on spurious grounds in an attempt to
obfuscate the issues, all of which actions have had a severe negative impact on
the minor child, and deprived father unjustly of parenting time for at least 60
days as well as caused severe emotional and financial trauma to father
needlessly, with no thought to the short or longer term impact on the child -
parent relationship.
16. It is further requested that the Court order the mother to resume contact with
the parenting coordinator, to provide needed contact data through November 12,
2016 at which time the child shall have attained the age of Eighteen years of
age, and further to pay for a passport, send the child to swimming and day
camp, and such additional relief as this honorable Court shall deem reasonable in
the circumstances. Ideally Mother should be ordered to refrain from spurious
calls to the Police and to undergo counseling for a period of at least Four years
on parenting matters and communications with the other parent so as to
mitigate the damage to the child that has already occurred.

PETITION FOR UPDATED EVALUATION
AND NOW, this 14th day of September, 2009, comes the Guardian Ad Litem, for the minor
child, George M. "Mackie" Cornwall, IV, born November 11, 1998, seeking an updated
evaluation in order to assist in the determination of the most appropriate custody arrangement to
be in the best interests of the child. In support of the Petition for Updated Evaluation, Petitioner
avers the following:
1. The petitioner is Guardian ad Litem for minor child, (hereinafter, "GAL"), the
Children's Advocacy Clinic. The GAL was appointed by Order of Court, dated May
5, 2009.
2. The Plaintiff is the Mother of minor child, Stephanie L. Cornwall (hereinafter,
"Mother").
3. The Defendant is Father of minor child, George M. Cornwall, III (hereinafter,
"Father").
4. The child has resided primarily with Mother since April 24, 2007, pursuant to an
Order of Court from the Circuit Court of the County of Clackamas in the State of
Oregon. That Order of Court was registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
on January 28, 2008.
5. Father has had no contact with the child since March 30, 2009, pursuant to an Order
of Court under this docket number from the Court of Common Pleas in Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as "Exhibit A."
6. Furthermore, an Order of Court issued on April 20, 2009 under the Juvenile Court
docket number CP-21-DP-76-2009 has also directed there should be no contact
between the Father and child. The no contact provision was continued through
subsequent orders, including most recently an Order of Court dated August 5, 2009.
7. Pursuant to the September 8, 2009 Order of Court, a hearing has been scheduled for
October 21, 2009 to address both dependency and custody. If dependency is
dismissed, the focus of the hearing will be on what type of visitation, if any, should
occur between Father and child and the type of arrangements that need to be in place.
8. In order to determine what type of visitation, if any, should occur between Father and
child, the GAL believes it would be in the child's best interest to have a professional
custody evaluator provide information to the court. Prior evaluations have been
completed in both Oregon and Pennsylvania. However, an updated evaluation can
give the court information about both the period of time that has passed with no
visitation between Father and child and the child's current preferences for continued
no contact. A professional evaluator could assess the most appropriate arrangement.
9. A custody evaluator typically meets with both parents separately and the child
separately in order to determine the best arrangements. The custody evaluator could
also review the prior evaluations.
10. Mother and Father have previously utilized the services of parenting coordinator
services, Dr. Stanley E. Schneider of Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania, located at
412 Erford Road, Camp Hill, PA 17011. Dr. Schneider routinely performs custody
evaluations, however, he has indicated he would not perform an evaluation in this
case, see "Exhibit B".
11. GAL recommends that Dr. Kasey Shienvold, of Riegler, Shienvold and Associates of
2151 Linglestown Road-Suite 200, Harrisburg, PA 17110, should complete an
updated evaluation in order to make recommendations on the future visitation
between Father and child.
12. Dr. Shienvold has indicated that he would be willing to complete an updated
evaluation, which would serve as update to the evaluations completed in Oregon on
March 27, 2007 and Pennsylvania on October 27, 2008.
13. GAL recommends that Mother and Father equally share any and all costs of the
updated custody evaluation.
14. The judge previously involved in this custody matter is the Honorable Edward E.
Guido.
15. Pursuant to Cumberland County Rule of Civil Procedure 208.2(d), concurrence of
Mother's counsel was sought. Mother's attorney of record, Hannah Herman-Snyder,
Esq., concurs with petition. Father does not have an attorney of record.
WHEREFORE, the petitioner, Guardian ad Litem for the minor child, respectfully
requests that this Honorable Court order that the parties submit to an updated custody evaluation
by Dr. Kasey Shienvold, and the parents contact Dr. Shienvold's office by September 25th,
2009, to schedule initial appointments with Shienvold's office.

: COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
No. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
IN CUSTODY
AND NOW comes Petitioner, George M. Cornwall, the above named Defendant,
proceeding in forma pauperis, and appearing Pro-Se, and petitions the court as follows:
1. Petitioner, hereinafter "Father," is George M. Cornwall, the above named
Defendant.
2. Respondent, hereinafter "Mother," is Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above
named Plaintiff.
3. The parties are the natural parents of George Mackie Cornwall, IV, born
November 11, 1998.
4. The Parties are subject to an Order of the Court dated April 24, 2007 from
the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Clackamas with
said Order being registered in Pennsylvania FOR ENFORCEMENT on
January 28, 2008, and filed under Prothonotary Docket 08-0608.
Numerous copies of this lengthy document and its attachments have
-i-
4.
previously been provided to the Court, and they are incorporated by
reference.
5. Pursuant to the Order, and as properly modified by the Court Appointed
Parenting Coordinator, Father is entitled to exercise periods of custody
every Wednesday afternoon and evening through the following Thursday
morning at 8:30 AM, and alternate sixty-five ((65) hour weekends.
6. The Oregon Order appointed Dr. Stanley Schneider and his Organization
Guidance Associates of PA, both of Camp Hill, PA to serve as Parenting
Coordinator for such time as the parties needed such services. The order
specifically directs the Parties to cooperate with the Parenting Coordinator
in all respects, including allowing the Parenting Coordinator to arbitrate
any matter of conflict relating to parenting.
7. Pursuant to the Oregon Order, the parties had been working under the
guidance and direction of the parenting coordinator on the creation of an
Agreement in Principle (AIP) regarding a proposed "Stipulated Order of
Custody and Parenting" which was to have been entered with this Court
upon completion, since late in Calendar 2007. Throughout the process,
mother had been far less than diligent in this work, failing to complete
agreed homework, and returning time after time to old alleged character
defects in "father" instead of completing agreed upon tasks.
8. Although "Father" has been bared from contact with the child since March
17, 2009 pursuant to a CYS complaint initiated by "Mother", this mater
-2-
remains unresolved and is currently set for hearing on October 21, 2009.
The CYS allegations and the so called "safety plan" have never been
adjudicated and each of the CYS actions are also pending appeal within
the CYS process.
9. "Mother" has also twice initiated litigation in Oregon to have the Oregon
Order vacated in an apparent attempt to disrupt the Pennsylvania
Proceedings. The first of these was dismissed by Judge Van Dyk in
Oregon some months ago. A hearing on the second apparent attempt to
disrupt the Pennsylvania resolution of this matter is currently pending
before Judge Stephen L. Maurer, Presiding Judge of the Fifth Judicial
District of The Oregon Circuit Court in Oregon City. Oregon on September
23, 2009.
10. Mother's willful actions to disrupt the Pennsylvania process, which she
initiated, appear to constitute acts of Contempt under both Oregon and
Pennsylvania Child Custody Law.
11. Until such time as the CYS dependency case has been adjudicated, there
can be no determination that there is any reason that the Pennsylvania
Courts have any reason to assume jurisdiction in the Custody case beyond
enforcing the Oregon Order.
12. Finally, while continuing both this instant litigation to enforce the Oregon
order in this Court, and the completely spurious CYA Complaint, mother
through her Oregon Counsel filed to have the Oregon Order vacated and
-3-
transferred to Pennsylvania. Father Vigorously opposes this action, largely
because the excellent work performed by the Parenting Coordinator in
protecting the best interests of our son will be at risk of being lost since
Pennsylvania Child Custody Law does not currently provide for the
appointment of Parenting Coordinators. Such services are clearly
warranted, indeed essential in this case given the long history of
duplicitous conduct and statements by Mother in addressing this court.
The child is also a SDCTH generation Oregonian, and Father intends to
continue to reside in Oregon permanently, and would be there now save
for this nightmare litigation. Father, now 65 years of age, is continuing to
seek employment in Oregon and elsewhere.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court adjudge the Petition For AN
UPDATED EVALUATION Beyond the present jurisdiction of this Court and
premature. The Petitioner Prays that the instant petition be therefore dismissed
with prejudice, or in the alternative that this matter be dealt with at the GLOBAL
HEARING presently scheduled for October 21, 2009.

GEORGE M. CORNWALL,
Defendant
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 08-608 CIVIL TERM
: The Honorable Edward E. Guido
IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTINUANCE
AND NOW comes Petitioner, Stephanie L. Cornwall, by and through her attorney of
record, Hannah Herman-Snyder, Esquire, and petitions the Court as follows:
1. Petitioner is the above named Plaintiff, hereinafter "Mother," an adult individual
currently residing at 4236 Carlisle Road, Gardners, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent is the above named Defendant, hereinafter "Father," an adult individual
currently residing at IOC Orange Street, Mt. Holly Springs, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
3. A hearing on what type of visitation, if any, Father should have with the minor child
is scheduled for October 21, 2009 at 9:30 p.m., to be heard only if the dependency
proceedings, docket no. CP-21-DP-76-2009, is dismissed.
4. The Order scheduling said hearing was entered on August 15, 2009, a copy of which
is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as "Exhibit A."
5. After said Order was entered, a Petition for Updated Evaluation was filed by the
Children's Advocacy Clinic, the child's Guardian ad Litem, hereinafter "GAL," in
which it was averred that "[i]n order to determine what type of visitation, if any,
should occur between Father and child, the GAL believes it would be in the child's
best interest to have a professional custody evaluator provide information to the
court."
6. Mother fully concurred with the GAL's request for professional input into the matter
of what type of visitation, if any, should occur between Father and child.
7. The Order, directing the parties to participate in an updated custody evaluation with
Dr. Kasey Shienvold, with the parties scheduling with Dr. Shienvold's office no later
than September 25, 2009, was signed on September 16, 2009, a copy of which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as "Exhibit B."
8. Mother scheduled her appointment with Dr. Shienvold immediately upon being
apprised of said directive; however, Father has made no effort to schedule with Dr.
Shienvold, as is evidenced by the correspondence from Dr. Shienvold's office, dated
October 9, 2009, in which Dr. Shienvold's Administrative Assistant writes that no
further appointments will be scheduled as Father has not initiated the evaluation
process, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as
Exhibit "C".
9. While Mother does not believe that the Father should go for an unlimited period of
time with no contact with the child, she also does not want to emotionally damage the
child and wants contact between Father and the child to be initiated in an appropriate
manner, so is looking for professional guidance in regards to how and when and in
what manner contact should occur between Father and the child.
10. A meaningful hearing can not be had on October 21, 2009 without the input of a
professional and the professional, Dr. Kasey Shienvold, cannot provide meaningful
input without the cooperation of Father.
11. The Children's Advocacy Clinic, as represented by Lucy Johnston-Walsh, Esquire
and the Certified Legal Intern, Chase Collins, concur with the request for relief and it
is presumed that Mr. Cornwall, who is proceeding pro se, does not concur.
12. The Honorable Judge Edward E. Guido has been involved with this matter.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests your Honorable Court to continue the custody hearing
scheduled for October 21, 2009 and compel Respondent to participate in the custody evaluation
so that there is meaningful feedback from a professional in regards to what contact, if any, is
appropriate as between Father and the child.

THE HONORABLE EDWARD E. GUIDO
PETITION FOR SCHEDULING A PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE
AND NOW, comes Hannah Herman-Snyder, Esquire, and the law firm of Griffie &
Associates, legal counsel for the above-named Plaintiff, Stephanie L. Cornwall, and petitions the
Court as follows:
1. Petitioner is the undersigned attorney, Hannah Herman-Snyder, Esquire, counsel for
the Plaintiff, Stephanie L. Cornwall.
2. The parties are the parents of George "Mackie" Cornwall, born November 11, 1998.
4. The parties are subject to a temporary Order entered on January 20, 2010, a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A".
5. Pursuant to the Order of January 20, 2010, a "full" custody hearing is scheduled for
April 6, 2010.
6. The hearing of January 20, 2010 started as a dependency proceeding and resulted in
an Order scheduling a "full" hearing on custody
7. The undersigned was not present at the hearing of January 20, 2010 and is requesting
a Pre-Trial Conference for, primarily, clarification in regards to the Order of January
20, 2010.
8. The undersigned is requesting clarification on what issues the Court wishes the
parties to address as the Order states that this is a "full" custody hearing while
Plaintiff relayed to the undersigned that at the time of the hearing, her understanding
was that the upcoming hearing was scheduled to address the status of Defendant's
contact with the child.
9. In regards to further clarification, the undersigned is requesting clarification on
whether the child should be present for the January 20, 2010 hearing and the status of
the custody evaluation previously ordered, which has not been completed.
10. The undersigned is further requesting a Pre-Trial Conference to discuss and update
the Court on the status of the counseling as ordered in the Order of January 20, 2010
as it relates to the hearing of April 6, 2010.
11. Even with the assistance of the Guardian Ad Litem, it was very difficult to find a
counselor willing to work with this situation, primarily because there is court
involvement, and the current counselor indicated to the undersigned on March 4,
2010 that she could not say if there would be any contact as between Defendant and
the child prior to the hearing of April 6, 2010, and she indicated that while she is
happy to provide a written report to the Court, she does not believe it is appropriate
that she testify regarding her counseling of the child and Defendant.
12. The Honorable Edward E. Guido is currently involved in these custody proceedings.
13. Lucy Johnston-Walsh, Esquire, the Guardian Ad Litem for the child, concurs in the
request for a Pre-Trial Conference and Robert Mirin, Esquire, counsel for the above
named Defendant, does not oppose the request for a Pre-Trial Conference.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that a Pre-Trial Conference be scheduled in the above
captioned matter.

MOTION FOR DISPOSITION OF PENDING MOTIONS AND PETITIONS
AND NOW comes George M. Cornwall, the above mentioned Plaintiff, appearing by and
through his counsel Robert S. Mirin, Esquire, and concerning the above captioned matter avers
as follows:
1. At various times since October 2008, through April 2009, Defendant has filed
various motions and responses in this custody case. Most of these have been reviewed by
Custody Conciliator Francis X. Gilroy, Esquire. They relate to the parenting plans and
custody arrangements between and concerning the parties and their minor child George
Mackie Cornwall, IV; born November 11, 1998.
2. The papers relate to and respond to the allegations of two contempt citations
brought by the mother, which according to Mr. Gilroy are both without merit.
Additionally, one motion asks that the mother be cited for contempt for failure to
maintain contact with the Parenting Coordinator, Dr. Stanley Schneider of Camp Hill, for
repeated failure to provide child status information to the father as agreed; for failure to
provide school information after having caused George M. Cornwall to be barred from
access to the child and disrupted his ability to obtain child related information and for
other acts of interference with Father's parenting time.
3. All of these pending motions request the same relief:
a. Resumption of the Parenting Conferences with Dr. Schneider, the Court
appointed Parenting Coordinator; which are expected to lead to a new stipulated
custody order and parenting plan;
b. Providing the information currently being denied, along with a sanction in
the event the information is denied in the future;
C. Mandating counseling for the mother;
d. A damage award to the father from the mother;
e. And immediate resumption of the status quo ante with respect to custodial
time.
4. In the alternative father seeks a period of restorative primary custody of not less
than fifteen (15) months.
5. G.C. also requests that the Court confirm that the father shall have full custody of
the minor child in the event that the mother is unavailable.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff hereby prays that this Honorable Court find mother in contempt of
court and impose appropriate sanctions and penalties giving recognition to the fact that this is at
least a second offense of this in this very court.

_ D
MOTION FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
AND NOW, comes George M. Cornwall, the above mentioned Defendant, appearing by
and through his counsel Robert S. Mirin, Esquire, and concerning the above captioned matter
avers as follows:
1. On or about January 20, 2010, the court issued an order pertaining to custody
issues concerning the parties and their minor child, George Mackie Cornwall, W born on
November 11, 1998.
2. The order, at Paragraph 3, specifically provided that father was to have contact
with the minor child in a therapeutic setting in the offices of Philip Sowders of Franklin
Family Services of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The order further provided some alternatives
in the event Mr. Sowders was unwilling or unable to resume his services as a therapist in
this matter as had been previously directed by the court in October of 2009.
3. a) Philip Sowders was willing and able to serve in the court ordered capacity of
reconciliation therapist and communicated that information to the mother both
telephonically and on at least two occasion in written form.
b) The mother never responded to Mr. Sowders or to his office.
4. a) As a proximate result of this and other artifices and forms of active and passive
interference, no face to face therapeutic sessions between father and son have occurred to
date.
b) The mother, ex parte, has arranged for yet another therapist in violation of the
terms of the court order, as Mr. Sowders was unavailable, and never informed the father
as directed by the January 20, 2010 Order of the Court.
5. Mother throughout the duration of this case has persistently and willfully refused
to communicate with the father.
6. The mother has knowingly and willfully frustrated the intent of the Court's Order
attempting to effectuate a reconciliation between father and child:
a. That mother continues to ignore the orders of this Court;
b. That the mother's objective in the custody matter remains to dispute and
minimize the father's parenting time at each and every opportunity; and
c. That the fallacious allegations that gave rise to the recently dismissed
dependency petition in this matter were, from the outset and remain nothing more
nor less than a serious effort to affect the custody case.
7. Father believes that the child has been unduly influenced throughout this thirteen
(13) month period over a single digital image over which the child has sole dominion and
control, from the onset.
Mother has made similar unfounded allegations against her first husband during
the course of the dissolution of that marriage which subsequently proved to be
unfounded.
9. The Court is further advised that through the entire pendency of this arduous
dissolution and subsequent multiple custody evaluations and two plus years of work with
the Court-appointed custody conciliator, the mother has refused to participate in any form
of marital, individual or family counseling.
10. Legal fees and related costs in this matter incurred to present a defense to the
CYS case and pursue responses to the custody complaints may be in excess of $30,000.
Father is nearly age sixty-six (66) and prevented from obtaining employment due to the
actions of CYS arising from the fallacious allegations of child abuse.
WHEREFORE, Defendant hereby prays that this Honorable Court find mother in
contempt of court and impose appropriate sanctions and penalties giving due recognition
to the fact that this is at least the second offense of this nature in this very court.

IN RE: CUSTODY
ORDER OF COURT f
AND NOW, this 6th day of April, 2010, after hearing,
we enter the following order with regard to the custody of George
Cornwall, IV:
1. Mother shall have primary physical and legal
custody of the child.
2. Father may have contact with the child via e-mail
addressed to the child at Mother's e-mail address. Mother may
screen the e-mail for appropriateness, censor it, and have Mackie
respond. Both parties may keep copies of all e-mails to present at
the next hearing in this matter. Father may e-mail the child on a
daily basis no more than one e-mail per day.
3. Father may also have contact with Mackie in a
therapeutic session. If Father can arrange for this to be done
with Mr. Sowders, Mother shall cooperate. If Mr. Sowders is not
willing to reinstitute the counselling, the parties through counsel
shall agree upon another counsellor to be used. If they cannot
agree, this Court will appoint one.
4. The parties are directed to contact Dr.
Shienvold's office within two weeks of today's date to schedule an
appointment to make arrangements for an updated custody evaluation.
5. The parties shall share any and all costs of the
updated custody evaluation provided however, that if there is an
additional charge because of Father's failure to follow through in
connection with our order of September 16, 2009, that additional
charge shall be born by Father.
6. This Court shall maintain jurisdiction of this
matter.
Plaintiff's Exhibit G, the picture of Mackie, shall be
placed in a sealed envelope and shall not be opened without
permission of this court.
We will review this matter on July 19, 2010, at
1:00 p.m. We will review it sooner if the counsellor recommends a
resumption of visitation in a nontherapeutic setting and the
parties cannot agree.

Petition TO PROVIDE emergency relief IN CUSTODY MATTERS
AND NOW, comes Defendant, George M. Cornwall, by and through his
attorney, Robert F. Mirin, Esquire and files this Petition in Support of a Motion for
emergency relief in the Custody case based upon irreparable harm being done to
the child and the relationship between father and son under current restrictions
imposed by the court.
1. Petitioner, hereinafter "Father," is George M. Cornwall, the above
named Defendant.
2. Respondent, hereinafter "Mother," is Stephanie L. Cornwall, the above
named Plaintiff.
3. The parties are the natural parents of George Mackie Cornwall, IV,
born November 11, 1998. The Minor Child is now eleven years seven
months of age.
4. The dependency action has been dismissed by this court.
5. The father has been deprived of contact with the child for 15 months
save for daily e-mails.
6. Now having been excluded from nearly 25% of the child's elementary
school career, under the present order, the father will be excluded
1
2008-0608 Defendant's Emergency Relief Petition
from attending the elementary school graduation/commencement
activities.
7. In the normal course of events, Father would attend the following
events at Mount Holly Springs Elementary School;
a. June 8 - Awards Assembly
b. June 9 - Talent Show
8. Mackie is an outstanding student and will undoubtedly receive one or
more awards. The father does not know if the child is participating in
the talent show or not, and the commencement is obviously the
keystone event. Attending at least the Awards Assembly on June 8th
and the Talent Show on June 9th would provide substantial step toward
normal relations with the child.
9. Father respectfully petitions the Court for permission to attend the
Graduation related events on the 8th and 9th of June, 2010 and to allow
incidental contact with the minor child to offer brief congratulations at
the Awards Assembly.
10. Failure to allow this participation in these milestone, memorable
events simply would serve to perpetuate the notion that has been
nurtured in the child's mind that the father is somehow dangerous or
untrustworthy, and is manifestly unfair, both to the father and more
importantly to the long term best interests of the child.

MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE
AND NOW, this 18th day of October, 2010, comes the Children's Advocacy Clinic as
Guardian Ad Litem for the minor child in the above captioned matter to request the following:
1. A hearing in this matter is scheduled for October 25, 2010 before the Honorable
Edward Guido, by Order of Court dated August 30, 2010.
2. The Honorable Edward Guido appointed the Children's Advocacy Clinic as Guardian
Ad Litem to represent the minor child, George "Mackie" Cornwall, subject to these custody
proceedings by Order of Court dated May 5, 2009.
3. On Apri16, 2010, the Honorable Edward Guido ordered that Father may have contact
with Mackie in a therapeutic session. It was also ordered that the parties contact Dr. Shienvold's
office within two weeks to schedule an appointment to make arrangements for an updated
custody evaluation.
4. While the parties experienced initial difficulty in finding a reunification therapist who
would work with this family, one was identified in June of 2010. The reunification therapist is
Mr. Richard Sieber of Sieber & Associates in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
5. Since June of 2010, the parties have worked out a fee agreement and Mr. Sieber began
sessions with the parties. Mother had one individual session. Father had individual sessions.
Mackie had four individual sessions.
6. As of this date, Father has not complied with the August 6, 2010 Order that directs the
parties to participate in a custody evaluation. It is the Guardian Ad Litem's position that it would
be in the child's best interest if the custody evaluation were completed prior to another custody
hearing.
6. The Guardian Ad Litem is seeking a continuance because as of this time there has only
been one therapeutic reunification session between Father and Mackie. The first session took
place on October 7, 2010. The next session has not yet been scheduled.
7. It is the Guardian Ad Litem's position that it is not in the child's best interests to
proceed with the custody hearing until there are additional therapeutic reunification sessions, so
that the reunification therapist can report on progress.
5. The Guardian Ad Litem requests that this Honorable Court continue the hearing until
additional reunification sessions between Father and Mackie take place.
6. Pursuant to C.C.R.P. 208.2(d), the Guardian Ad Litem has sought the concurrence of
counsel for Plaintiff, Hannah Herman-Snyder, and counsel for Defendant, Robert Mirin. The
Guardian Ad Litem has received the concurrence of counsel for Plaintif£ Counsel for Defendant
did not concur.
WHEREFORE, the Guardian Ad Litem for the minor child, George "Mackie" Cornwall,
requests that the custody hearing currently scheduled for Monday, October 25, 2010 be
continued and rescheduled upon motion from any party.
Respectfully Submitted,
Date: October 1$, 2010

It being the 21~` of October, 2010, Defendant George M. Cornwall by counsel herewith
responds to the Motion for the Children's Advocacy Clinic Guardian Ad Litem with regard to
its' Motion for Continuance filed on or about October 1$, 2010, and in response to that Motion
responds as follows:
Admitted.
2. Admitted. By way of further response it is respectfully suggested that the need for
a guardian ad litem has evaporated in this case, given the resolved status of the dependency
matter before the Court. It is further respectfully submitted that the minor child is appropriately
and fully represented by the attorneys for Stephanie L. Cornwall and George M. Cornwall,
parents of said minor child.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted. By way of further response, it is noted that the extended and
convoluted process (more than a year) involved in arranging for the limited number of
counseling sessions to this point in time have been the product of a number of factors and delays
such as that most recent occasion by the refusal of the custodial mother to produce the child for a
session at 3p.m. on October 21, 2010 (see attached correspondence -Exhibit A). It is
respectfully submitted that the parties have experienced ongoing difficulties based upon the
obstructive attitude of the mother, Stephanie L. Cornwall, to the reunification counseling.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted. By way of further response, it is the father's position that the custody
processes that were in place involving Stanley Schneider of Guidance Associates Court
appointed Parenting Coordinator under the original (Oregon) Order, are sufficient to address and
to conclude any outstanding or ongoing custody issues. Plaintiff had suggested Sheinvold &
Reigler, but abase upon the designated counselor's use of an outdated MMPI report and the
apparent prejudgment precipitated; Defendant objected. It is respectfully submitted that the
child's best interest would not be served by a third custody evaluation involving George M.
Cornwall and the child, but further that the reunification counseling ordered by this Court is the
more appropriate vehicle to proceed under.
6. (sic) Denied as stated. While there has been only one successfully scheduled
therapeutic reunification session between father and Mackie on October 7, 2010, another session
was unsuccessfully scheduled by Mr. Cornwall for October 21, 2010, and further the child has
had numerous sessions with the counselor in question, Richard Sieber.
7. The averments of paragraph 7 of the Motion are speculative and it is believed
that Mr. Sieber could report to the Court at this time concerning the status of the reunification
counseling. i
~ (Parenthetically it should be noted that the numbering of the Motion supplied by Certified Legal Intern Kristen
Flory contains two paragraphs 5 and three paragraphs 6 in the Motion. This response has proceeded sequentially by
paragraph not withstanding the duplicative numbering of the Motion.)
5. (sic) Paragraph 5 is an unsupported assertion, no documentation or supporting
material is supplied. The averment is speculative with regard to the status and impact of the
Court ordered reunification sessions.
6. (sic) The third paragraph 6 in the Motion is a conclusion to which responsive
pleading is not required. However, it correctly notes that counsel for Defendant does not concur
in a request for a continuance and, in fact, strenuously objects. It has been 587 days since George
Cornwall saw his son in a normal fashion.
NEW MATTER
a. This would be the third request for a Custody Evaluation in this case,
b. There is no substantive or procedural need for a third Custody Evaluation.
c. The Court ordered reconciliation counseling should resolve any and all issues as to
custody between the father, George Cornwall and the minor child, George Mackie Cornwall and
the mother, Stephanie Cornwall.
d. In the event that a further refinement of the second Custody Evaluation is necessary, it
is respectfully requested that the Court direct, given the prior history of bias and predisposition
demonstrated to the Court concerning the status of George Cornwall by the counseling firm, -
Adler and Riegler -previously suggested for the third evaluation process; it is requested that in
the interest of fairness, economy and expedition that the matter proceed under the aegis of the
reconciliation counseling through the offices of Sleber & Associates (Richard Sleber).
e. The origins of the currently ordered Child Custody Evaluation emanate from the prior
guardian ad litem and, it is believed, are not supported or necessary on the record, given the
resolution of the dependency proceeding.
f. While it is true there has been a substantial hiatus in the custodial interaction between
George Cornwall and George Mackie Cornwall the Court, being fully advised in the premises of
and the underlying issues, the reconciliation counseling should be able to facilitate moving
forward with the custodial relationship between the father and child based upon the
reconciliation counseling.
g. At most, in addition to the reconciliation counseling the Court should order that
Guidance Associates (Stanley Schneider) -Guidance Associates should be designated to
complete any aspects of the Custody Evaluation as he is familiaz and has worked with the
parties.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully submitted that the Court should conduct the scheduled
hearing and modify its' existing Order and delete the economically burdensome requirement of a
further (third) Child Custody Evaluation and discontinue the child's guardian ad litem.

Re: Cornwall vs. Cornwall
Dear Ms. HermanSnyder:
This is acknowledged receipt of your letEer concerning the proposed session for Mackie
Cornwall on Monday, October 18~'. Unfortunately, in contnuati ~n of the pattern of
obstructions with regazd to that process. Your facsimile was not~eceived unti14:54 p.m.
on October 15, 2010, 5 hours after the office closed on Friday and obviously transmission
at that time and in that manner was calculated to obstruct and further interfere with
counseling process and to interfere with the successful accomplis}ument of its objectives.
I believe that given that it is appropriate that the counseling should participate based upon
available scheduling through the Sieber office and with some consideration of George's
schedule and Mackie's. But, not to the extent that the process is dbstructed. Mackie has
been indicated to be an excellent studentand a mature young man Missing a little
school, given this important counseling, is an appropriate "sa:crifi~e" to use your
terminologyson occasion. Thus, I believe that your client continues to be inappropriately
and admittedly opposed to my client's having successful parental relationship with his
son.
The Sieber office has tried to arrange for scheduling consistent with George's presence in
the area, as he continues to do a substantial amount of work in Oregon consistent with his
schedule and taking other schedules 'into account. I believe this is; a correct approach.
Please do not hesitate to call and speak with me, as the telephones in my office operate
and I am more than glad to attempt to resolve these matters in an~expeditious and timely
fashion.

I am writing in response to both of your correspondences of October 19, 2414.
First, let me please note that by the time I had written to you on October 15, 2010, it had
already been my understanding that no appointment had been confirmed or even
scheduled with Mr. Sieber on October 18, 2010 as it was my understanding that Mr.
Sieber stated that no appointment would be made during school hours without the
agreement of .the parties. Furthermore, Ms. Cornwall was told at the end of the first
appointment between Mackie and Mr. Cornv~~all that Mr. Sleber's office would be
contacting her to schedule the next appointment. As of this date, the only information ~,ve
have received in regards to scheduling is from you.
In regards to the appointment of October 21, 2010 at 3:00 p.m., that will not work
with Mackie's schedule as Mackie is in school at that time and he has a sixth grade social
that is scheduled unti14:00 p.m. I am sending the enclosed correspondence to Mr. Sieber
because if the appointment can be rescheduled to October 21, 2414 at x:00 p.m., then
Mackie will be able to attend. If it can, then it will work for that day, and, if not, it will
need to be rescheduled for another day. As stated above, Ms. Cornwall was given the
impression that Mr. Sleber's office would be in contact to coordinate the next counseling
date so as to take all parties schedules into consideration, as well as, most importantly
Mackie's schedule. It is not appropriate for you to schedule the tunes and .then demand
that Mackie be present, asserting Ms: Cornwall is not being cooperative when it does not.
work with her work schedule or, again, more importantly Mackie's schedule.
I see no reason why either counsel need to be involved in the scheduling and why
it cannot be done with Mr. Sleber's office. Ms. Cornwall's position is clear and Mr.
Sieber has worked with it in regards to all of Mackie's individual counseling sessions.
There is nothing unreasonable about her position that Mackie's schedule and her schedule

need to be considered. It is simply common courtesy to consider all parties when
scheduling an appointment for three different persons.
Furthermore, both Ms. Cornwall and I respectfully disagree v~dth your position
that it is not a big deal for Mackie to miss some school.. If these counseling sessions are
going to take place on a regular basis, weekly, bi-weekly, etc, it is not appropriate, for
numerous reasons, for Mackie to miss school on any kind of consistent basis. As one
issue, I ask that you keep in mind that these appointments are in Harrisburg and if
appointments were scheduled during school hours, that would necessitate Mackie missing
approximately three (3) hours of school.
As a secondary issue, Ms. Cornwall does work a full time job during day time
hours and it is not fair to have her miss work on a regular basis either. Ms. Cornwall has
been and continues to be more than cooperative in moving the reunification efforts
forward. She understands that Mr. Cornwall's schedule is a relevant factor in
establishing counseling; however, she believes Mackie's schedule should be paramount
and that her schedule should be considered as well.
Again, I am asking, pursuant to the enclosed correspondence to Mr. Sleber, that
his office take care of scheduling appointments from this time forward.
Your attention is appreciated.

RE: ~: George and Mackie Cornwall
Dear Mr. Sieber:
October 20, 2010
As yo>:1 may recall, I am the attorney for Stephanie Cornwall and am writing to
you in regards to the counseling that is taking place between George and Mackie
Cornwall. It was Ms. Cornwall's understanding, after the first appointment that was held
between George and Mackie, that your office would be contacting her to coordinate the
next counseling appointment. Instead of hearing from you, I have heard from Attorney
Minn on several occasions, with the Iast letter from him simply stating a time and date of
a counseling appointment. The time and date is October 21, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. I am not
sure how this date and time was arrived at as Ms. ComwaIi was not involved in obtaining
the same and I have advised Attorney Mirin that I do not believe it is appropriate for him
to unilaterally obtain a date and expect that Mackie will be presem, without any
consideration for, most importantly, Hackie's schedule, but Ms. Conlwall's schedule as
well.
The appointment for October 2i, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. does not work, most
importantly, for Hackie's schedule due to school and the fact that he has a sixth grade
social after school that is scheduled until 4:00 p.m. He is able to attend an appaintment at
5:00 p.m. on Xhat day, if you are able to accommodate that, otherwise, the appointment
needs to be rescheduled.
I am asking if you can assist in the scheduling of appointments by having your
office coordinate the same so that all three persons schedules aze considered. I do not see
any reason for counsel to be involved in the scheduling of these appointments as it is
clearly making what could be a relatively easy task of coordinating schedules more
difficult as two more people are now involved in the chain of coordinating.

October 20, 2010
Although I believe this matter has already been addressed between you and Ms.
CornwaA, because Attorney Mirin and I are clearly not of the same mindset in regards to
the issue of Mackie missing school for these appointments, I am writing to clazify that
Ms. Cornwall does not agree to have any appointments scheduled during Ma,ckie's school
hours. As I : stated, I believe this matter has been addressed between you and Ms.
Cornwall because you have scheduled all of Mackie's individual appointments a8er
school hours.
Your attention is appreciated.

I first saw and evaluated Mr. Cormvatt on August 11, 2009 and have treated him a total of thirty-
fourtimes to this date.
Mr. Cornwall has seldom missed an appointment and calls in advance when he cannot attend.
He is willing and cooperative at examining his behaviors and making changes when necessary.
He often reported that he uses information between sessions. Currently, he is lear»ing healthy
communication skills to be used with a ten year old son.
He continues to be frustration with the lengthy prods of sexing his son which is his primary
objective. However, even with this frustration, he continues to comply will all requirements of the
court in a straight forward and open manner.
He reported that he is working more steadily and beginning to make payments on outstanding
debts and ~ pleased with this.
It is my professional opinion that Mr. Cornwall should have visitation rights for his son and that
the implementation of these right wilt result in a positive snd healthy rolstbnship between him
and his son.
If t can be of additional assistance, please contact me.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Cornwall v. Cornwall
Dear Attorney Herman-Snyder:
I was out of the office until 4:15 p.m. yesterday afternoon, the 20'~ of October. Upon my
return, I received your correspondence to myself and to Mr. Sleber. I have the following
observations:
1. I understand that Mackie's school ends at about 2:45 in the afternoon, so at
most he would be missing about a half an hour school tune if he met that 3
o'clock appointment that is scheduled. Ms. Cornwall, a Director of Nursing,
ordinarily works from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
2. I was advised that Mr. Sleber preferred that counsel coordinate the schedule.
However, I agree with your sentiment that it would be better if it were done
directly.
3. His counseling was ordered by Judge Guido in October of last year and has
essentially been fivsh~ated by a number of events which I consider tactics and
ploys which have delayed and fiNStrated the counseling process.
4. While I believe that Mackie's schedule is important, I believe that this
counseling is crucial and I believe it is of a higher order of magnitude than an
after school social which is an event which presumably will repeat itself during
the school year.
5. I believe that the importance of this court ordered scheduling is such that the
parties have to make a substantial effort to accommodate the process and the
limitations of the professional office involved.
Accordingly, I believe that the impact upon Ms. Cornwall in terms of transporting
Mackie to the counseling and the routinelordinary kinds of events that occur in
connection with school are such that they should not interfere with the counseling
process.
Mr. Cornwall arranged this appointment from Oregon and returned from Oregon to
participate in the counseling in question and has made a substantial accommodation to
facilitate this counseling.
I strongly suggest that a routine social event scheduled at the end of the school day
should not interfere with the counseling in question and that Ms. Cornwall should make
herself more available to the process for purposes of transporting Mackie. (Of course,
George could transport Mackie to the session.) Frankly, the disrupted relationship
between George Cornwall and his son to their relationship is far more important that the
ostensible routine post-school social event.
Had Mr. Sowders been accepted as a counselor without obstruction and frustration on his
counseling, this counseling would be conducted in a location more proximate to Maclcie's
school and Ms. Cornwall's employment.
Not withstanding the above, I believe that it is appropriate for the Sleber office to do the
scheduling directly and accordingly I am so advising Mr. Sleber's office that I would be
also be agreeable to direct scheduling (as I have always been).
Enclosed is a copy of Hackie's school calendar. The school also maintains a website at
carlisleschools.or calendar.
If you have any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office at
the telephone number listed above.
Sincerely ,

REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION N
AND AND NOW, this 19'h day of November, 2010, comes George M. Cornwall, by and
through his counsel, Robert S. Mirin and the Law Offices of Robert S. Mirin and respectfully
requests that the Court reconsider an Order which it entered pursuant to a Petition from the
Children's Advocacy Clinic on or about September 15, 2009. In support of the Request for
Reconsideration, Defendant George M. Cornwall, through counsel avers as follows:
1. The Petition for a Updated Evaluation was filed with the Court on or about
September 15, 2009. At the time it was indicated that the Petition had been served upon
Defendant by First Class Mail, Postage Prepaid on September 15, 2009. (Attachment A).
2. The Court entered its Order on the 100 of September 2009, granting a Request for
Updated Custody Evaluation.
3. George M. Cornwall was not in actual physical receipt of the Petition until
September 17, 2009, the day following the Court's Order.
4. Defendant Cornwall filed a response to the petition pro se (Attachment B) on
September 17, 2009.
5. At the present time, given the procedural course of events surrounding this case
and those filings and the Court's response prior to receipt of Defendant's responsive
pleading; it is respectfully requested that the Court reconsider its' Order of September 16,
2009, especially in the context of subsequent developments in the case wherein the
Dependency Petition has been dismissed. Defendant Cornwall has appealed the Children
& Youth determination and that is pendant before the Bureau of Hearings and Appeals
and further the procedural history of the case involving its' transfer from Oregon, the
involvement of Dr. Stanley E. Schneider of Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania and the
overall posture of the case including Defendants present economic circumstances are the
predicate for this request that the Court withdraw its Order for yet another custody
evaluation.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully suggested that, at most, the process which was ongoing
before Dr. Stanley Schneider should be concluded in lieu of a full blown updated custody
evaluation.

PETPfION FOR UPDATED EVALUATION
AND NOW, this 14th day of September, 2009, comes the Guardian Ad Litem, for the minor
child, George M. "Mackie" Cornwall, IV, born November 11, 1999, seeking an updated
evaluation in order to assist in the determination of the most appropriate custody arrangement to
be in the best interests of the child. In support of the Petition for Updated Evaluation, Petitioner
avers the following:
1. The petitioner is Guardian ad Litem for minor child, (hereinafter, "GAL'), the
ChildreWs Advocacy Clinic. The GAL was appointed by Order of Court, dated May
5, 2009.
2. The PWntiffis the Mother ofminw drill, Stephanie L. Cornwall {hereinafter,
"Mother").
3. The Defendant is Father of minor child, George M. Cornwall, III (hereinafter,
"Father").
4. The child has resided pr prily with Mother since April 24, 2007, puraw t to an
Order of Court from the Circuit Court of the County of Clackamas in the State of
Oregon That Order of Covet was registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
an January 28, 2008.
----• -• - •- r.?
5. Father has had no contact with the child since March 30, 2009, pursuant to an Order
of Court under this docket number from the Court of Common Pleas in Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as "E,xbibit A."
6. Furthermore, an Order of Court issued on April 20, 2009 under the Juvenile Court
docket number CP-21-DP-76-2009 has also directed there should be no contact
between the Father and child. The no contact provision was continued through
subsequent orders, including most recently an Order of Court dated August 5, 2009.
7. Pursuant to the September 9, 2009 Order of Court, a hearing has been scheduled for
October 21, 2009 to address both dependency and custody. If dcpmlency is
dismissed, the focus of the hearing will be on what type of visitation, if any, should
occur between Father and. child and the type of arrangements that need to be in place.
8. In order to determine what type of visitation, if any, should occur between Father and
child, the GAL believes it would be in the child's best interest to have a professional
custody evaluator provide information to the court. Prior evaluations have been
completed in both Oregon and Pennsylvania. However, an updated evaluation can
give the court information about both the period of time that has passed with no
visitation between Father and child and the child's current preferences for continued
no contact. A professional evaluator could assess the most appropriate arrangement.
9. A custody evaluator typically meets with both parents separately and the child
separately in order to determine the best arrangements. The custody evaluator could
also review the prior evaluations.
10. Mother and Father have previously utilized the services of parenting coordinator
services, Dr. Stanley B. Schneider of Guidance Associates of pennsylvan* located at
412 ErfordRoad, Camp Hill, PA 17011. Dr. Schneider routinely performs custody
evaluations, however, he has indicated he would not perform an evaluation in this
case, see "Exhibit B".
11. GAL recommends that Dr. Kasey Shienvold, of Riegle r, Shienvold and Associates of
2151 Linglestown Road-Suite 200, Harrisburg, PA 17110, should complete an
updated evaluation in order to melee recommendations on the future visitation
between Father and child
12. Dr. Shiemrold has indicated that he would be willing to complete an updated
evaluation, which would save as update to the evaluations completed in Oregon on
March 27, 2007 and Pennsylvania on October 27, 2008.
13. GAL recommends that Mother and Father equally share any and all costs of the
updated custody evaluation.
14. The judge previously involved in this custody matter is the Honorable Edward E.
Guido.
15. Pursuant to Cumberland Couaty Rule of Civil Procedure 208.2(d), concurrence of
Mother's counsel was sought Mother's attorney of record, Hannah Herman Snyder,
Esq., concurs with petition. Father does not have an attorney of record.
WHEREFORE, the petitioner. Guardian ad Litem for the minor child, respwdimy
requests that this Honorable Court order that the parties submit to an updated custody evaluation
by Dr. Kasey Shienvold, and the parents contact Dr. Shienvold's office by September 25th;
2009, to schedule initial appointments with Shienvold's office.

6. The Oregon Order appointed Dr. Stanley Schneider and his Organization

specifically drrec s the Parties to cooperate with the Parenting CowdWg ftr
in at respects, ir>cluding allowing the Parenting Coordinator to arbitrate
any matter of conflict relating to par+ ro g.
7. Pursuant to the Oregon Order, the parties had been working under the
guidance and direction of the parenting coordinator on the creation of an
Agreement in Principle (AIP) regarding a proposed '"90ted Order of
Custody and Parenting" which was to have been entered with this Court
upon completion, since late in Calendar 2007. Throughout the process,

9. "Modw- has also twice imbed iibigatlon in Oregon to have the Oregon

AND NOW, this JL day of January, 2011, comes the Children's Advocacy Clinic as
Guardian Ad Litem for the minor child, Mackie Cornwall, to respond to the Motion to
incorporate Dates filed by Defendant on January 7, 2011. The Clinic has the following response:
1. The arranged days and times of the counseling session listed in the Motion to
Incorporate Dates conflict with the child's school schedule. The reunification sessions
take place in Harrisburg and the child attends school in Carlisle. Therefore the
arranged appointments would require that the child miss several hours of his school
day. As school attendance is very important to the child, the Guardian Ad Litem holds
the position that it would not be in the child's best interests to miss school to attend
all of the appointments and avers that it would be preferable for the majority of the
appointments to occur during afternoon hours. Sessions between the child, Mr.
Cornwall and Mr. Sleber have previously been scheduled for afternoon and evening
hours.
2. Asper the Order of Court dated December 20, 2010, the reunification counseling
shall follow the supervised visitation periods between Father and child. To the
Clinic's knowledge, there have been no supervised visits scheduled as of this time.
WHEREFORE, the Guardian Ad Litem for the child recommends that the majority of the
reunification counseling sessions occur after school hours.

PETITION FOR RESUMPTION OF PARTICIPATION BY
THE CUSTODY CONCILIATOR
AND NOW, comes George M. Cornwall, Defendant, by and through his counsel Robert
S. Mirin, Esquire and the Law Offices of Robert S. Mirin, and respectfully requests that the
Court reactivate the participation of the Custody Conciliator in this matter and in support thereof
avers as follows:
1. The Custody Conciliator, Hubert Gilroy, has worked with the parties prior to the
events of March of 2009.
2. Since that time, the Department of Public Welfare, Office of Hearings and
Appeals has rejected the previous adverse determination of Children & Youth as not
indicated and the subsequent dependency action has been discontinued.
3. Contemporaneously, the Court has through a variety of devices including
reconciliation counseling has attempted to foster the custodial relationship between
Defendant and his twelve (12) year old son.
4. At the time this matter commenced, the child was ten (10) years of age.
5. Since the inception of the events emanating from March of 2009, Mr. Cornwall
has had virtually no contact with his son apart from sporadic e-mail contact and very
limited contact in a counseling setting.
: COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
"kW
6. The record discloses that the mother has made the child unavailable for the
counseling process, reconciliation and contact through a variety of pretexts.
7. (a) The record further discloses that the process in front of Counselor Sowders
and Counselor Sleeber have both been unsuccessful due largely to mother's scheduling
issues.
(b) Efforts at e-mail contact have resulted in irregular and sporadic responses
from the child.
(c) Recent attempts at telephone contact have been largely unsuccessful.
Most recently, not withstanding the Court's Order and the fact that the sessions,
prior to the point of the Court's most recent Order, had been scheduled for the evening
and not withstanding the fact that on a scheduled (non-school day) January 17th ° 2011 a
session was scheduled unsuccessfully due to Mackie's non-attendance. This was reported
on February 10, 2011. The next session scheduled for February 21th, 2011 is also a non
school day and it appears will not be conducted due to the son's failure to confirm his
intent to attend. Plaintiff Stephanie Cornwall has insisted that she would not produce the
child for counseling sessions. Plaintiff Cornwall is under the erroneous impression that
the scheduling of the supervised visitation and the reconciliation counseling are linked.
Further, Plaintiff Cornwall appears to erroneously believe that she does not have to
produce the child for counseling unless the session is scheduled for after school/evenings.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the Court reactivate the intervention of
Custody Counselor Hubert Gilroy who has met previously with the parties in a custody
counseling milieu.
The basis for this request as set forth above is that a variety of factors principally
involving the unavailability of the child for the counseling or contact and related processes
remain unsuccessful. The re-intervention of a custody counselor should be able to effectuate the
objectives of the Court vis a vis the restoration of a relationship between father and child.
As noted above, the record before the Court discloses that the Dependency Hearing has
been dismissed. Thus, the safety plan put in place was not supported by the facts and
circumstances of the case and as a consequence Defendant Cornwall has been deprived
throughout the time (about 2 years) of any meaningful custodial access to the child and by failure
of the Plaintiff mother to cooperate in terms of providing any Court ordered meaningful contact
with his son.

GUARDIAN AD LITEM'S RESPONSE TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER WHY
ITN
TO RESUME CUSTODY CONCILIATION SHOULD BE DENIED
AND NOW, this ? day of March, 2011, comes the Children's Advocacy Clinic as
Guardian ad Litem for the minor child, Mackie Cornwall, to respond to the show cause order
issued on March 10, 2011 why the Petition for Resumption of Participation by the Custody
Conciliator which was filed by the Defendant on March 7, 2011 should be denied. The Clinic has
the following response:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted in part. The Court has indicated that Defendant George Cornwall
(hereinafter "Father") may have supervised visitation through ABC or the YWCA,
which Mr. Cornwall has not arranged.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted in part. According to the minor child, Mackie Cornwall (hereinafter
"Child"), Father has had frequent phone conversations on a weekly basis, in addition
to the e-mail contact and several counseling sessions.
6. Denied. The record does not reveal that the Plaintiff Stephanie Cornwall (hereinafter
"Mother") has made the Child unavailable for the counseling process. As per the
Guardian ad Litem's (hereinafter "GAL") knowledge, Mother has complied with all
court orders, and has requested that counseling not occur during the Child's school
hours.
7. (a) Denied. Transcripts of court testimony would reveal that the counseling sessions
with Mr. Sleber were deferred at Mr. Sleber's request with the goal of continuing
reunification counseling after the supervised visits commenced. Furthermore, the
counseling sessions with Mr. Sowders were discontinued due to Father's threatening
behavior witnessed by the staff of Franklin Family Services, the office of Mr.
Sowders.
(b) Neither Admitted nor Denied. The GAL does not have knowledge about specific
email responses from the Child to the Father.
(c) Denied. Child has indicated to the GAL that he has had recent phone
conversations with Father. Furthermore, the few occasions Child has been unavailable
were related to Father calling past Child's bed-time.
8. Denied. On December 20, 2010, the Court ordered Father to resume reunification
therapy only after supervised visitation has occurred.
NEW MATTER
1. Father did not properly serve his Petition for Resumption of Participation by the
Custody Conciliator upon the GAL. GAL only became aware of the Petition as a
result of receiving the Court's Show Cause order.
2. Father has not presented any legal reason for the parties to return to custody
conciliation with Hubert Gilroy at this time, given the pendency of legal action and
the Court's knowledge of recent events through court proceedings.
3. The GAL recognizes that although the Child has indicated that he does not wish to
have regular visitation with his father at this time, the Child is willing to continue
telephone conversations and email communications, at least until the time when
supervised visitation has been established.
4. It is in the Child's best interest for the Court to maintain authority over this case,
given the Court's history with the parties and knowledge of recent events.
WHEREFORE, Guardian ad Litem for the child recommends that the petition to resume
custody conciliation should be denied.
