PARTIAL PHYSICAL CUSTODY:
Partial physical custody is the right to take possession of a child away
from the custodial parent for a certain period of time. The Father shall have partial
physical custody of the children as follows:
SCHEDULE OF PARTIAL CUSTODY:
ACCORDING TO FATHER'S WORK SCHEDULE:
The Father is a Pennsylvania State Trooper. He will give the Mother his
work schedule at least thirty (30) days in advance. He will mark on the schedule his
days off, plus the other times on his days off that he will have custody, so that it is
clear on which days he will have partial custody of the children. His custody period
will begin within one hour after he gets off work on the day before his first day off and
continue until 10:00 am on the second day thereafter. Thus, he will have two
overnights every week.
In addition, he will have one other overnight per week, which will be
determined by the night after his turnaround shift. In addition to the forgoing, the
Father will have the right to designate two othe 1 1 very twenty-eight (28)
another day.
When the Father has single overnights, his time will begin within one (1)
-3-
hour after he gets off work and continue until 10:00 am the next morning.
SUMMER VACATION DEFINED:
Summer vacation is defined by the Court as beginning day after the
children are out of school, and continuing until the day before they return to school
in the fall. Each party shall have the right of two non-consecutive weeks of summer
vacation time with the children upon at least thirty (30) days advance written notice
of the selection of the vacation dates to the other party. The first to notify the other
party of the selection of vacation shall prevail in the selection process.
ALTERNATE HOLIDAYS:
Each party shall also have the right of partial custody on alternate
holidays throughout the year the holidays being: New Year's Day, Memorial Day,
Independence Day Holiday, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving Day.
Custody on these holidays shall be exercised from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.,
with the Mother to have custody on the first holiday, that being Labor Day, 2004.
The parties shall alternate custody on alternate holidays thereafter.
In the event that a parent who wauLd. se have custody of the
238091250251
nediately precedes or f01101AIS one of the
alternating holidays on which that same parent would also have custody, the parent
need not relinquish custody until the conclusion of the entire three day period.

In even numbered years, such as 2004, Mother shall have the right of
partial custody each Christmas season from December 24 at noon through
December 25 at noon. The Father shall have the right of custody of the children
from December 25 at noon through December 26 at noon.
In odd numbered years, such as 2005, the Father shall have the right

December 25 at noon through December 26 at noon.

Father shall always have the right of partial custody on Father's Day. The rights of
partial custody shall be exercised from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.

noticP of that fart
HOLIDAYS A PRIORITY:
The periods of partial custody for holidays, vacations, or other special

days set forth in this Order shall be in addition to, and shall take precedence over,
but shall not alter the schedule or sequence of regular periods of partial custody for
that parent set forth previously in this Order. Holidays and other special days for
custody set forth in this Order shall take precedence over vacations.

Unless otherwise provided for in this Order, transportation of the
children shall be shared by the parties, with the parent who is relinquishing custody
to the other parent at the time of exchange to provide for transportation by taking the
children to the residence of the other parent. At all times, the children shall be
secured in appropriate passenger restraints. No person transporting the children
shall consume alcoholic beverages prior to transporting the children or be under the

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
The parties shall provide each other with at least forty-eight (48) hours
advance notice of school or other activities whenever possible.
The parties shall agree to honor and participate in the activities that a
child wishes to engage in. During the times that the parties have custody of the
child, they will make certain that the child attends any extracurricular activities. The
parties are directed to be supportive of the activities and will transport the child to
and from such activities and the preparations and practice for the activities that are
scheduled, in such time so that the child is able to participate in those events.
Neither party, however, shall commit a child to any activity unless the
child definitely desires to attend that activity. Participation in activities which take
place during the school year is contingent upon the child maintaining passing grades
in school.
Neither party shall commit a child to activities that fall on another party's
period of custody, without the consent of that-paft consent shall not be
2507
unreasonably withheld. If a child is involvQri in an activity which occ r 'na

required to take a child to that activity if the custodial party and child are out of town
during that activity, for a previously scheduled vacation.
In the event that the custodial party is unable to deliver a child to the
particular activity, the party who has custody of the child at that time shall notify the
noncustodial party, who shall be entitled to pick up and deliver the child to the
designated activity. The custodial party shall make certain that the child is ready for
pickup in time sufficient to enable the child to timely attend the activity.
TELEPHONE CALLS:
The parties are expected to use common sense in scheduling telephone
calls to talk to the children. The parties are hereby directed to refrain from
preventing the party who may be calling from talking to a child, or preventing a child
from calling the other party, provided that the phone calls are not excessively
frequent nor too long in duration that they disrupt a child's schedule.
Phone calls initiated by a party should be kept to a maximum of twenty
minutes, and a maximum of three (3) phone calls per week.
DISPARAGING REMARKS:
The parties and any third party in the presence of the children shall take
all measures deemed advisable to foster a feeling of affection between the children
-8-
and the other party. No party shall do nor shall either party permit any third person
to do or say anything which may estrange a child from the other party, their spouse
or relatives, or injure a child's opinion of the other party or which may hamper the
free and natural development of a child's love and respect for the other party.
No party shall use a child to convey verbal messages to the other party
about the custody situation or changes in the custody schedule.
FINANCIAL CARE OF CHILDREN:
In the event that a significant matter arises with respect to the medical
care, education, or financial care of the children, such as a change in occupation,
health insurance, educational expenses, or residence of a party, those matters shall
be discussed with the other parent before any change is made by either party.
MUTUAL CONSULTATION:
Each party shall confer with the other on all matters of importance
relating to the children's health, maintenance, and education with a view towards
obtaining and following a harmonious policy in the children's education and social
adjustments. Each party is directed to 1?2er informed of his or her
of the children and the custody situation. Each party shall supply the name, address
and phone numbers of any persons in whose care the children will be in for a period
-9-
in excess of seventy-two (72) hours, and for each person or entity which may provide
day care for a child, excluding current day care providers, relatives, or public
institutions.
ILLNESS OF CHILDREN:
Emergency decisions regarding the children shall be made by the party
then having custody. However, in the event of any emergency or serious illness of
a child at any time, any party then having custody of the child shall immediately
communicate with the other party by telephone or any other means practical,
informing the other party of the nature of the illness or emergency, so the other party
can become involved in the decision making process as soon as practical.
The term "serious illness" as used herein shall mean any disability
which confines the child to bed in for a period in excess of seventy-two (72) hours
and which places the child under the direction of a licensed physician.
WELFARE OF CHILDREN TO BE CONSIDERED:
The welfare and convenience of the children shall be the prime
consideration of the parties in any application eons of this order. The
addressing the custodial schedule, any changes to the schedule, and any other
parenting issues.
-10-
MODIFICATION OF ORDER:
The parties are free to modify the terms of this Order but in order to do
so the Court makes it clear that all parties must be in complete agreement to any
new terms. That means all parties must consent on what the new terms of the
custody arrangement or visitation schedule shall be.
In the event that one or the other does not consent to a change, that
does not mean each follows your own idea as to what you think the arrangements
should be. The reason this Court Order is set out in detail is so both parties have
it to refer to and to govern your relationship with the children and with each other in
the event of a disagreement.
We direct that copies of this Order be sent to counsel for the parties
who are represented as follows:

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 1915.3-
8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the children who are the subject of this litigation
is as follows:
NAME YEAR OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Darius Brown May 1, 1998 Mother and Father
Christopher Brown August 24, 2000 Mother and Father
Maria Brown December 12, 2002 Mother and Father
2. Father filed a Petition to Modify Custody on January 12, 2012. A Custody
Conciliation Conference was held on February 17, 2012. Present for the Conference were: the
Father, Allen C. Brown and his counsel, Jennifer Spears, Esquire; the Mother, Cheri Clapp, and her
counsel, Jane Adams, Esquire. Judge Bayley signed the prior Order in this matter.
3. Father's position is as follows: Father seeks primary custody of the children because
of his concerns regarding the cleanliness, stability and suitability of the living arrangements with
Mother. Father reports that Mother has moved from the home she shares with her husband to a
residence with her boyfriend, Spencer Binkley. Among Father's numerous concerns, Father
complains that she does not follow through with vaccinations in a timely fashion, fails to
communicate with him regarding the children's education and extracurricular activities, and has not
adequately addressed declining grades. Father proposes an alternating weekend custodial
schedule of partial custody for Mother.
Father resides in Boiling Springs with his wife, three children subject to this Order and two
children to his current marriage. Father is a Pennsylvania State Trooper and serves in the National
Guard. Father's shifts vary within a given work week. However, he has two weeks advance notice
of the shifts and days that he is assigned to work.
4. Mother's position is as follows: Mother reports that Father was aware that the children
were spending time with her at her new boyfriend's home. However, she denies that she is actually
residing with the new boyfriend. Mother does confirm that she intends to move into a townhome
with the boyfriend toward the end of this month. She reports the home where she will reside on
Chestnut Avenue has three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The home is in the Carlisle Area
School District.
NO. 2008-1124 CIVIL TERM
Mother works from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Middlesex Elementary School in the lunch
room. She also works Saturday nights from 6:30 p.m. until closing at a local bar known as Alibi's.
Mother strongly disagrees with Father's proposed change to the equally shared custodial
arrangement which they have been following as a result of the Stipulation and Order entered without
hearing on July 31, 2008.
