Defendant : ACTION IN CUSTODY
CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(B), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
The pertinent information pertaining to the Child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
Name Date of Birth Currently in the Custody of
Connor Elliot Tomlin 08/06/2005 Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on April 17, 2008 with the following
individuals in attendance:
The Father, Timothy Tomlin, with his counsel, Susan Pickford, Esquire
The Mother, Tracie Tomlin, with her counsel, Karl Rominger, Esquire
3. Father's position on physical custody is as follows: Father is currently
unemployed and resides in Ohio with his paramour and paternal grandparents
of the Child are living close by. The Child had lived in Ohio until March of
2007. Father has had limited contact with the Child since Mother moved to
this jurisdiction and last had physical contact with the Child in December of
2007. Father would like to commence physical custody/visitation with the
Child in Ohio. Father acknowledges that Mother takes very good care of the
Child. Father denies any substance abuse problems. Father does
acknowledge that paternal grandparents do smoke marijuana for medicinal
purposes. Father agreed to take a drug test confirming his non-usage of drugs.
Father requests access to the Child's medical care providers to gather
information about the Child's current conditions. Father would like to begin
contact with the Child immediately. Father agreed to attempt to learn sign
language to better communicate with his Child. Father agreed to at least begin
his visits here in Pennsylvania with the expectation that physical custody
would begin in Ohio as soon as possible.
4. Mother's position is as follows: Mother has reservations about the Child
going to Ohio for any extended periods of time at this point. Mother has
concerns with paternal grandparents and the alleged marijuana usage. Mother
also agreed to undergo a drug test. Mother asserts that the Child has
significant medical/speech/learning disabilities. Mother asserts that the Child
has a history of seizures, has had tubes put in his ears, has a significant
learning disability and has had surgeries to improve his communication skills.
The Child has been scheduled for a major surgery in August or September
2008. The Child is not currently on medications. Mother requests that at this
point, it is in the Child's best interest to remain in Pennsylvania with Father
coming here to visit the Child. Mother indicated that as soon as there is a
comfort level that the Child would be appropriately taken care of, she would
entertain possible starting visits in Ohio. Furthermore, Mother left open the
possibility that on one of the weekends Father is supposed to come to
Pennsylvania for a visit, she may opt to go to Ohio so that she may physically
see Father's residence and introduce herself to Father's paramour.
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached. It is the
Conciliator's belief that this would be in the Child's best interest.

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT
At the time the Pennsylvania Court issued their judgment entry with regards to Custody,
both the mother, Tracie Dixon and the child, Connor Tomlin resided in Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania. In February 2011 the mother, Tracie Dixon and Connor moved back to Athens
County, Ohio, where they currently reside.
Currently, all of the parties and the minor child live in Athens County, Ohio. The
Pennsylvania Courts lack personal jurisdiction at this point in time. The defendant, Timothy
Tomlin has filed a Motion for Custody in the Athens County Court due to Athens County being
Conner Tomlin's Home State.
Therefore, the defendant, Timothy Tomlin, respectfully requests that the Pennsylvania
Common Pleas Court of Cumberland County grant the defendant's Motion to Transfer
Jurisdiction to Athens County Domestic Relations Court in Athens County, Ohio.
Respectfully submitted,
