PETITION FOR MODIFICATION
Petitioner, Josh Davis, by and through his counsel, MidPenn Legal Services, states the
following:
1. Petitioner, hereinafter referred to as Father, resides at 378 West North Street, Carlisle,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. Respondent, hereinafter referred to as Mother, is believed to reside at 520 Fairground
Avenue, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
3. The above-named parties are the natural parents of Jeremy Davis, born June 8,2000
and Ashlyn Davis, born January 13, 2002.
4. The current Custody Order, attached as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by
reference, is dated March 31, 2004, and was entered by the Honorable Judge Kevin
Hess. The Order, in pertinent part, grants the parties shared legal custody of Jeremy
and Ashlyn. Mother has primary physical custody with Father has periods of partial
physical custody as the parties may agree.
5. Father is entitled to a modification of the current order, which is in the children's best
interests, for reasons including but not limited to the following:
a. Mother has not been cooperative in working with Father to ensure that he has
regular, ongoing contact with the children. Until Father threatened to return to
court to address Mother's actions, visits were taking place about one time per
month.
b. Father's periods of partial custody with the children are unpredictable and
interfere with Father's ability to establish and nurture an appropriate
parent/child relationship with the children.
c. Since it is not addressed in the current Order, Father does not have any
reasonable telephone contact with the children when they are with Mother.
d. At the time the current Order was entered, Father had moved and did not have
an appropriate environment in which to care for the children for extended
periods of time. Presently, Father and his fiancee have a large home with
sufficient space for the children and he can provide a safe and nurturing
environment during his periods of custody.
e. Despite an Order for shared legal custody, Mother has not provided Father
with any information as to where Jeremy will be going to school and Father
does not know where the children receive medical care.
8. Counsel has confirmed that Mother is no longer represented by Michael Whare,
Esquire.
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests the following:
a. That this matter be scheduled for a custody conciliation to modify the tenus of the
current custody Order.
b. Any other reliefthis Court finds just and proper.

3. Mother's Position on Custody: Mother reports that Father had informed her of a
drug raid on his home on April 17, 2012. It is alleged that the police found marijuana, an
unregistered handgun and drug paraphernalia. Mother later had a conversation with the children in
which the son informed her that he had overheard Faith Gilbert tell Father that the house smelled
like pot. The child went on to describe to her a tubular device that Father would sometimes take into
a bedroom after which the son smelled odors in the home. Accordingly, Mother is very concerned
that Father is using marijuana during the times that he has custody of the children. Mother wants
assurances that Father will not be using marijuana when he has the children in his custody.
4. Father's Position on Custody: Father lives in a two bedroom trailer. His ex-
wife and her five children have subsequently moved into the home. Father reports he has never had
a driver's license but acknowledges his history of underage drinking, driving under suspension and a
2009 charge for possession of drug paraphernalia. With regard to Mother's concerns about having
sufficient space in the home, Father produced a handwritten note purporting to be from the father of
three of his ex-wife's children which indicates that the children have custodial time with him on
alternating weekends. Father reports that this provides additional space for the children on the
I O. 04-400 CIVIL TERM
weekends. He also reports that he plans to add an extra bedroom to the home. With regard to the
drug raid, Father reports that he knows of no charges that have been filed. He acknowledges to the
Conciliator that he possessed an unregistered 9mm handgun which he found with its paperwork in
the course of his employment. Father minimizes the significance of his marijuana use and argues
that alcohol use poses a larger safety risk than does marijuana. He is willing to take drug tests and
claims to have been clean and free of all illegal drugs since April 15, 2012. During other portions of
the Conference Father reported that he was free of drugs since April 17, 2012. He reports that he
made this decision because his children are more important than drugs and alcohol. Father would
like Mother to be drug tested because he reports that she has used drugs as well. However, he
raises this topic after indicating that he has no complaints about Mother's parenting of the children,
but also making biblical references to "an eye for an eye". Father believes that Mother's motive for
filing the Petition for Special Relief was because she is jealous that his ex-wife has moved into his
home.
5. The parties reached an agreement that Father would participate in §5329 evaluation
at the Helen Stevens Center or, Gaudenzia. The evaluation is to be completed within 30 days.
Father is to sign consents to release the report to counsel for Mother and to himself in anticipation of
the need to bring the report to the Conciliation Conference which has been scheduled for June 20,
2012 at 9:30 a.m. with Mrs. Verney. The parties also agreed to some modifications of the interim
custody schedule, which are reflected in the form of Order as attached.
