PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY ORDER f
AND NOW, this 30th day of November, 2010, comes the Defendant Todd Neuhard, by
and through his attorney Monica E. Baturin, Esquire, of the Law Offices of Baturin & Baturin,
and hereby files this Petition to Modify Custody, which said Order was entered on July 26, 2004,
as Paragraph Fifteen of the Marital Settlement Agreement to the above-captioned docket number,
and in support thereof, respectfully represents the following:
1. Defendant/Petitioner (hereinafter referred to as "Father") and Plaintiff/Respondent
(hereinafter referred to as "Mother") are the natural parents of minor child Madelyn Neuhard,
age 10 years old, (DOB: July 4, 2000).
2. An initial Order for Custody was entered on July 26, 2004, as part of the Mother
and Father's Marital Settlement Agreement. Paragraph Fifteen of said Agreement (a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A," is titled Child Custody and
states that the parties shall "share legal custody of their child." The paragraph also states that the
Mother shall have primary physical custody and that the Father shall "enjoy periods of partial
custody as the parties agree." In addition, the paragraph specifies that it was the parties
expectations at the time that a more detailed agreement regarding custody would be forthcoming
in the near future.
The aforementioned Paragraph Fifteen has been the only Order regarding custody
of the parties minor daughter since 2004.
4. Father strongly believes that it would be in his child's best interest to modify the
terms of custody and to outline a more precise partial custody/visitation schedule for Father and
Mother to adhere to because of the following reasons:
(A) Mother recently advised Father, in mid-November, 2010, of her intention
to relocate with the parties' daughter from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where she has
lived since birth, to the State of Wisconsin in January, 2011. Mother neither consulted with
Father nor daughter first before making such a life-altering decision;
(B) Father has an excellent relationship with his daughter Madelyn. Not only
was he a primary custodian over his daughter for the first four years of her life but after the
Mother and Father divorced in 2004, Father has had periods of partial custody over his daughter
every week of every month and is actively involved in all aspects of her life;
O Father loves his daughter very much and is greatly disheartened by the
suddenness of the move and by the fact that his daughter will now be living so far away as to
make their regular weekly visitation virtually impossible to continue, and
(D) For other reasons that may become apparent at the time of the Custody
Conference.
WHEREFORE, Father is respectfully requesting that the Custody Provision of the
Parties' Marital Settlement Agreement be changed to reflect a more detailed arrangement for
Custody, including but not limited to, an Order one affording Father periods of partial custody
for the entire summer, beginning June I5" until August 15", as well as during the extended
school holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Easter, and 3-day weekends. Father would also
respectfully request alternating the Christmas Holiday but on the years that he doesn't get
visitation on Christmas, he would get custody of his daughter on December 26' until New
Years' Day, as well as any other times as the parties may mutually agree.
Respectfully Submitted,
