STIPULATION FOR CHILD CUSTODY
AND NOW, this day of February, 2008, come Plaintiff BRENNA K.
KERNAN and Defendant DONTREY P. LASTER, who, with regard to custody of their
minor child, Cayden D. Laster, born May 21, 2005, stipulate and agree, as follows:
1.
Plaintiff BRENNA K. KERNAN is an adult individual and the biological mother
of the child herein who was born on March 4, 1981, and who resides at 15 Heidi Terrace,
Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011.
2.
Defendant DONTREY P. LASTER is an adult individual and the biological father
of the child herein who was born on November 2, 1975, and who resides at 302 3rd
Street, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
3.
Custody of said child shall be as set forth in the foregoing Order of Court. Due to
WAYNE F. SHADE
Attomey at Law

variations in the father's work schedule, it would be prohibitively difficult to set a fixed
schedule of partial custody. Therefore, it is agreed that any failure on the part of the
father to return the child upon the demand of the mother will constitute a violation of this
Order.
4.
Transfer of custody shall be at the home of the mother with the father to be
responsible for obtaining and returning the child at that location.
5.
Should either party at anytime in the future petition the Court for a modification of
this Order, it shall not be necessary for the party to show a change in circumstances; and
all relevant facts and circumstances shall be subject to judicial review and not only those
existing subsequently to the entry of this Order.
6.
It is the desire and intention of the parties hereto that this Stipulation for Child
Custody be entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,

the child as an intermediary.

than fifty (50) miles from their current residences if such move would necessitate a change in the
custody arrangement without a minimum notice of ninety (90) days to the other parent. The

agreement of the parties or further Order of Court, the above provisions shall be followed.
14. An Order of Court will be entered in accordance with the terms of this

AND NOW, this day of , 14, the parties, BRENNA KERNAN
("Mother") and DONTREY P. LASTER ("Father"), having stipulated to the following
provisions being made an Order of Court:
1. All provisions set forth in all previous Orders of Court in this matter are hereby
vacated.
2. The parties shall share legal custody of CAYDEN D. LASTER, born May 21,
2005. Both parents realize and appreciate that it is critical for the child's healthy development
that he feel good about, and loving toward, both parents and that both parents play a major role
in helping to achieve this goal.
3. The parties agree that major decisions concerning the child, including but not
limited to, the child's health, welfare, education, religious training and upbringing shall be made
by them jointly, after discussion and consultation with each other, with a view toward obtaining
and following a harmonious policy in the child's best interests. Each party agrees not to impair
the other's rights to shared legal custody of the child. Each party shall notify the other of any
activity or circumstances concerning their child that could reasonably be expected to be of
concern to the other. Day to day decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent then having
physical custody. With regard to any emergency decisions, which must be made, the parent
having physical custody of the child at the time of the emergency shall be permitted to make any
immediate decisions necessitated thereby. However, that parent shall inform the other of the
emergency and consult with,him or her as soon as possible. In accordance with 23 Pa.C.S.A.
§5309, each party shall be entitled to complete and full information from any doctor, dentist,
teacher, professional or authority and to have copies of any reports or information given to either
party as a parent as authorized by statute.
4. Mother shall continue to have primary physical custody of the child.
5. Father shall have periods of partial physical custody of the child from 10:00 a.m.
until 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday and Sunday of his alternating weekends unless otherwise agreed
to by the parties.
6. Summer. Each party shall be entitled to two (2) weeks of uninterrupted time
in the summer. These weeks shall be non-consecutive and shall coincide with their weekend.
Each party shall provide the other with thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of the vacation
schedule.
7. Holidays.
a. The parties shall share Christmas and Thanksgiving each year with the
parties mutually agreeing to time each year.
b. Easter: Father shall have the child each year from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00
p.m.
c. Father shall have physical custody of the child each Father's Day from
10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Mother shall have physical custody of the child
each Mother's Day from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
d. Child's Birthday: The parties shall share the child's birthday and will
mutually agree to time each year. Unless otherwise agreed upon, if the child's
birthday occurs during the week (Monday — Friday), Father shall have the child
from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. and shall provide all the transportation. If the
child's birthday occurs on a Saturday or Sunday, the non-custodial parent shall
have the child from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and shall provide all the
transportation.
e. The holiday schedule shall take precedence over the regular schedule.
8. Communication: All communication between the parties shall be civil, good
natured and intended to serve the best interests of the child. Both parents shall provide the other
with all applicable addresses and telephone numbers, including home, work and cell phone
numbers. The parent having physical custody of the child shall ensure the other parent has
reasonable telephone and e-mail privileges (if available and when the child becomes of age when
he uses e-mail) with the child.
9. Transportation: The parties shall share transportation equally with the party
beginning the period of physical custody providing transportation. It is agreed that both parties
shall maintain valid drivers' license, vehicle insurance, and state inspections. It is also agreed
that either party may ask for proof of this no more than two times per calendar year.
10. When Father has custody of the minor child, he shall not expose the minor child
to smoking in the home or in a motor vehicle. Additionally, neither parent shall be under the
influence of alcohol while they have custody of the minor child. The parties shall ensure, to the
extent possible, that others in the presence of the child comply with this prohibition.
11. Based upon the current allergy situation for the minor child, it is directed that
neither parent shall allow the child to be supervised or handled by a babysitter who is not an
adult, except for situations where there are brief times where the parents must leave the home
and could utilize a younger babysitter, which time shall be no more than one hour.
12. Each parent agrees not to attempt to alienate the affections of the child from the
other and will make a special conscious effort not to do so. Both parents shall refrain from
making derogatory comments about the other parent or his/her significant other in the presence
of the child and, to the extent possible, shall not permit third parties to make such comments in
the presence of the child, whether the child is sleeping or awake.
13. Each parent shall speak respectfully of the other whether or not it is believed the
other reciprocates. Each parental figure shall refer to the other by the appropriate role name (i.e.
mom, dad, etc.). Each parent agrees to refrain from encouraging the child to provide reports
about the other parent. Communication should always take place directly between parents,
without using the child as an intermediary.
14. Relocation: The parties mutually agree that neither parent shall relocate more
than fifty (50) miles from their current residences if such move would necessitate a change in the
custody arrangement without a minimum notice of ninety (90) days to the other parent. The
ninety (90) day notice is designed to afford the parents an opportunity to renegotiate the
custodial arrangements or to have the matter listed for a Court hearing.
15. Neither party shall travel with the minor child outside the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania for any reason without providing written notice to the other parent, along with an
address and telephone number for where the child will be staying.
16. Modification: Any of the provisions of this Stipulation maybe modified or
deleted upon mutual consent of the parents. The parents acknowledge circumstances may
warrant a change in custodial periods and agree to work together to ensure the child is able to
attend special family events, to attend activities in which the child is enrolled, etc. Absent a
mutual agreement of the parties or further Order of Court, the above provisions shall be
followed.
17. An Order of Court will be entered in accordance with the terms of this
Stipulation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the day and
year first above written:
