Mellema, by and through her attorneys, the Neuharth Law Offices, who files these Preliminary Objections to Plaintiff's Complaint for Custody and Petition for Special Relief and in support avers the following: 1. On February 6, 2008, Plaintiff, James A. Reese, by his attorney, Marcus A. McKnight, III, Esquire of Irwin & McKnight, filed a Complaint for Custody in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. On the same day, Plaintiff filed a Petition for Special Relief in the same matter. 2. In the complaint, Plaintiff sought shared legal custody and shared physical custody of the parties' child, Joshua Andrew Reese, barn June 22, 1996. 3. On February 23, 2005, Plaintiff filed a Complaint for Custody in Franklin County, Pennsylvania regarding the same child. That matter is still pending. A copy of the 2005 Complaint is attached as Exhibit A. 4. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1915.2 provides the requirements for the proper venue in which to bring a custody action. Inter alia, Rule 1915.2 provides that such an action may be brought in any county which is the home county of the child at the time of the commencement of the proceeding or which had been the child's home county within six months before the commencement of such a proceeding and the child is absent from the county. 5. Cumberland County, Pennsylvania is an improper venue for the above-referenced matter as it does not meet the requirements of Rule 1915.2. The child was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania and has resided with Defendant in Franklin County, Pennsylvania his entire life. Furthermore, the child has never lived in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 6. Defendant's Complaint for Custody failed to substantially follow the form set forth in Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1915.15(a). Specifically, Defendant failed to state where the child resides currently and where the child has resided in the past five years. 7. The fact that Cumberland County, Pennsylvania is an improper venue for the above- referenced matter would be evident had Defendant substantially followed the form set forth in Rule 1915.15(a) and provided information regarding the child's residence. 8. Defendant's counsel, the undersigned, contacted Plaintiffs counsel regarding the relief requested herein, and Plaintiff's counsel opposes the same. WHEREFORE, Defendant, Karen S. Mellema, respectfully requests this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint for Custody and Petition for Special Relief due to the fact that a custody matter between the parties is still pending in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and Cumberland County, Pennsylvania is an improper venue, as defined by Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1915.2.
