County, Pennsylvania 17055.
2. The Defendant is Jennifer L. Anderson, is an adult individual currently
residing at 2211 Harmony Hill Drive, Lancaster, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania 17601.
3. The Plaintiff and Defendant were previously married and as a result of
said marriage, one child was born; namely: Valerie E. Anderson, born
January 10, 1999.
4. On April 4, 2003, the parties entered into a Postnuptial Agreement and
Mutual Release whereby they agreed that they would share physical
custody of the minor child, fifty/fifty, with wife having physical custody
every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday overnight, husband having
physical custody every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday overnight and the
Thursday overnights alternate on a weekly basis.
5. At the time of separation, the parties had been purchasing real estate
located at 6001 Locust Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, which the parties had purchased during the marriage with
the intent that their children would attend the Cumberland Valley School
District. A major decision as to which school district the children would
attend was made by the parties during their marriage.
6. At the time of separation, the Defendant, Jennifer L. Anderson, vacated
the marital home located in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and thereafter moved to another location in Cumberland
County, then to a home in Perry County, and subsequently to Lancaster
County. The Defendant has moved, at least, three different times within
Lancaster County since the beginning of 2003.
7. The Plaintiff, Danny P. Anderson, continued to reside in the marital
home in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, until it was necessary to sell the
same pursuant to the parties' divorce settlement and thereafter, resides at
the address listed in paragraph one above, which continues to be the
Cumberland Valley School District.
2
8. The Defendant, Jennifer L. Anderson, indicated to her former husband
that she would be returning to Cumberland County so that the child may
attend the Cumberland Valley School District, which was the school
district of choice, which the parties agreed to during their marriage.
9. In October 2003, the Defendant informed the Plaintiff that she would
probably be staying in Lancaster County and by letter dated January 22,
2004, the Defendant emphatically informed the Plaintiff that she would
not be returning to Cumberland County.
10. The Plaintiff, Danny P. Anderson, works at AAMCO, Monday through
Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
11. The Defendant, Jennifer L. Anderson works at Wal-Mart in Lancaster
and it is believed she works second shift.
12. There has been no prior action for custody or visitation of the minor
child in this or any other jurisdiction.
13. The minor child, Valerie E. Anderson, was born in Cumberland County
on January 10, 1999, and continued to reside in Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and since the parties have been sharing physical custody
of the minor child, the minor child resides in Cumberland County fifty
percent of the time.
3
14. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County has jurisdiction in
this matter as the minor child has primarily resided in Cumberland
County for the last five years, with the last year to eighteen months
residing in Cumberland County one-half of the time.
15. The minor child, Valerie E. Anderson, will be starting school in the fall
of 2004, and the parties being unable to agree upon what school district
the minor child is to attend, the Plaintiff, Danny P. Anderson,
respectfully requests your Honorable Court to grant him primary
physical custody of his daughter during the school year so that she may
attend the Cumberland Valley School District, which is the school
district of choice of the parties, said decision being made while the
marriage was intact.
16. The Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness in any capacity in
other litigation concerning the custody of the minor child in this or any
other Court.
17. The Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings
who has physical custody of the child or claims to have custody or
visitation rights with respect to the child.
4
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff, Danny P. Anderson, respectfully requests your
Honorable Court to grant him primary physical custody of his daughter.
Respectfully submitted,

1. The pertinent information concerning the child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:

Valerie E. Anderson January 10, 1999 Mother and Father
2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was helld on March 11, 2004 following
Father's filing of a February 5, 2004 Complaint for Primary Physical Custody. Present for
the conference were: the Father, Danny P. Anderson, and his counsel, Diane M. Dils,
Esquire; the Mother, Jennifer L. Anderson, and her counsel, Maryann Murphy, Esquire.
3. The parties did not reach an agreement with regard to a change in the
custodial schedule which will become necessary as a result of their desire to enroll the child
in kindergarten for the 2004-2005 academic year. The parties confirmed the status quo of
their physical custody arrangement as it appears in the Order attached. The parties will
need a hearing in order to establish a primary custodial residence prior to the start of the
2004/2005 academic year.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Since the parties' separation, the
parties entered an equally shared physical custody arrangement. Father reports that
Mother has moved five times since separation. He also indicates that when they had
purchased the marital home, they did so with the intent that the child would attend
Cumberland Valley School District. After separation, they had discussions in which Mother
indicated that she might have been willing to relocate from her present home in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania to some place closer to Father so that they could continue to enjoy a shared
custodial arrangement and allow the child to attend Cumberland Valley schools. However,
Father reports that Mother indicated to him in January of 2004 that she did not intend to
return to Cumberland County. Father is seeking primary physical custody. He believes that

that couple's child, which they anticipate will continue until the end of the Summer 2004.
Mother works at Wal-Mart for four, ten hour shifts a week. She does not work on Tuesday,
Wednesday or Saturday. While Mother acknowledges that they had discussed the child
attending Cumberland Valley schools, the settlement agreement that the parties entered at
the time of the divorce makes no mention of school choice. Mother prefers that the child live
with her primarily and attend Conestoga Valley School District. She points out that the
elementary school is around the corner from her home and that the school district is much
smaller than Cumberland Valley. Mother also has family members in the Lancaster area.
Mother reports that there have been times that she has not been included in decisions that
Father has made regarding the child. She points out that he has given the child haircuts
when he knows that she prefers the child's hair be long and that he arranged for the child to
have her ears pieced without Mother's agreement.

the child's life and both parties express a desire to have an involvement in the child's
education and in helping her with her homework. The parents also agree that they do not

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN CUSTODY
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 child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Valerie E. Anderson January 10, 1999 Mother
2. Father filed a Complaint to modify custody on March 9, 2006. At the request
of Mother's new counsel, Fathers counsel agreed to a continuance. A Custody Conciliation
Conference was held on June 8, 2006. Present for the conference were: the Father, Danny
P. Anderson, and his counsel, Diane M. Dils, Esquire; the Mother, Jennifer L. Graser, F/K/A,
Jennifer L. Anderson, and her counsel, Pamela L. Purdy, Esquire.
3. Father's position on the modification of custody is as follows: Father filed to
modify the Custody Order seeking primary custody of the child. Father's concerns are as
follows:
A. Mother has moved seven (7) times in four and one-half years.
B. Mother has unilaterally changed the child's school district by reason of
her last move.
C. Mother discontinued the co-parent work that they had been doing with
Anthea Stebbins.
D. Since the move, the child has had unexcused absences and tardiness,
and Father has been informed that her homework is not being done.
E. The child has reported to Father that Mother is too busy to play with
her.
NO. 04-524 CIVIL TERM
F. Mother did not give him or the school district notice of her intent to
move.
G. Mother told the child not to disclose her new address to her school
before the end of the school year so that she would not have to enroll in a different
district.
H. On one occasion, Mother neglected to pick up the child at school after
telling her not to take the bus home at the end of the school day.
Father believes that he can provide a more stable lifestyle in his home than can
Mother. Father points out that at the last Custody Conciliation Conference, Mother
represented that she would not continue her pattern of moving and yet the child is now
relocated outside of the school district she attended last year.
4. Mother's position on Father's petition to modify custody is as follows. Mother
reports that she has remarried and she and her husband purchased a home in the Donegal
School District. She acknowledged that she stopped the co-parent counseling. Mother
reports that she did inform Father that she was considering moving at the time that she was
looking at the purchase of a new residence, and had narrowed down her options to two
different homes. Mother expressed concern that Father is telling the child that she is going
to be living with him and going to a new school district. She sees this as Father
manipulating the child's feelings, and as a source of confusion.
Mother has been employed for five years at Wal-Mart. She is presently Customer
Service Manager and works three, twelve hour shifts each week, on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. As a result, Mother reports that if the child is in Father's primary custody, she will
not be able to see the child because of her long work hours on weekends.
Mother claims that she cannot change her work arrangements. Mother also disputes
Father's representation that his wife is available to help care for the child because Mother
believes that the step-mother is working at Applebee's. (Father points out that his new wife
is expecting a baby in July, 2006.)
5. Issues upon which the parties agree: Both parents agree that they would
return to co-parent counseling. Parents also agree that it was not appropriate to involve the
child in discussions regarding the substance of their custody litigation and that she should
not be placed in the position of having to choose between the parents.
6. Issues upon which the parties do not agree: Father's request for primary
custody. Father's counsel requested a hearing before the start of school. Mother's counsel
is not available on August 2, or August 3, 2006. Mother resides in Mt. Joy in Donegal
School District. it is believed that that school district begins the new school year on
August 28, 2006. Father resides in the West Shore School District, which is scheduled to
begin on August 28, 2006.

Pamela L. Purdy, Esquire, and files this Petition for Special Relief, and in support
thereof, avers as follows:
1. Petitioner/Defendant is Jennifer L. Graser ("Mother"), an adult individual

Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent/Plaintiff is Danny P. Anderson ("Father"), an adult individual
who currently resides at 645 Hummel Avenue, Lemoyne, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
3. Mother and Father are the parents of Valerie E. Anderson, born January
10, 2004.
4. In August 2004, the parties stipulated to the entry of an order (hereinafter
"Agreed Order") that gave the parties shared legal custody, with Mother having primary
physical custody and Father having partial physical custody. A true and correct copy of
the Agreed Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein as if fully set
forth.
5. The Agreed Order also states that the parties would continue to attend co-
parenting counseling with Anthea Stebbins, L.C.S.W. and agreed that:
In the event that either parent believes Valerie should be seen by a
counselor, or either feels the custody schedule needs to be re-addressed
for Valerie's sake, they shall discuss this with each other and make an
appointment with Anthea Stebbins that is mutually convenient for them to
attend.
Agreed Order at paragraph 4.
6. In Spring 2006, Mother informed Father that she was considering
moving from Lancaster to the Mount Joy area, which would necessitate Valerie to
change school districts.
7. Father did not discuss with Mother that he felt that the custody
schedule needed to be re-addressed or make an appointment for the parties with
Anthea Stebbins, both of which are required under the Agreed Order.
8. Instead, on March 9, 2006, Father filed a Petition for Modification of
Custody.
9. On June 8, 2006, the parties attended a custody conciliation with
Pamela L. Purdy, Esquire, counsel for Mother, Diane M. Dils, Esquire, counsel
for Father and Conciliator Melissa P. Greevy, Esquire, which resulted in Ms.
Greevy filing a Custody Conciliation Summary Report and the Court scheduling
the matter for trial before the Honorable Kevin A. Hess for August 9, 2006.
10. After much negotiation, a day before the trial date, the parties
agreed to the entry of a Stipulation and Agreement of the Parties (hereinafter
"Stipulation") that allowed Valerie to continue to attend school in Mother's school
district but granted Father additional physical custody time with Valerie. A true
and correct copy of a letter from Father's attorney, Diane Dils, Esquire dated
August 8, 2006 informing the Court that the parties had reached a full and
complete agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and is incorporated herein
as if fully set forth.
11. Father's counsel forwarded the Stipulation that was signed by both
Father and Father's counsel to Mother's counsel on August 29, 2006, who
received it on September 5, 2006. A true and correct copy of the August 29,
2006 letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein as if fully set
forth.
12. On September 7, 2006, Mother's counsel forwarded the Stipulation
by letter to Mother, who returned the signed stipulation to her counsel on
September 12, 2006. A true and correct copy of the Stipulation is attached
hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein as if fully set forth.
13. Although the Stipulation has not been filed as an Order of Court,
the parties have followed the terms of the Stipulation since their agreement on
August 8, 2006.
FATHER'S CURRENT ISSUE
14. In late July, Mother's husband's (hereinafter "Stepfather") car mechanically
malfunctioned, rendering the car unusable.
15. On approximately seven occasions thereafter, Mother drove Stepfather to
work while Valerie and Mother and Stepfather's son, Loki, remained asleep at the
Graser home.
16. Mother left the children alone briefly because she was going to be gone
for a very short time, did not want to wake the children and did not believe she was
doing anything wrong.
17. On each occasion, Mother left the house at approximately 6:20 A.M. and
returned to the house at approximately 6:40 A.M.
18. Valerie has a cell phone and was able to call Mother at any time if a
problem occurred while Mother was gone.
19. On September 6, 2006, Mother received a phone call from Lancaster
County Children and Youth employee Mr. Goods who informed Mother that Father had
filed a complaint against Mother alleging that Mother was leaving Valerie and Loki
alone.
20. Mr. Goods informed Mother that Children and Youth were not going to
open an investigation based upon Father's complaint because there is no law
prohibiting a parent from leaving a child alone, but he recommended that Mother not
leave the children alone.
21. Early morning on September 7, 2006, Stepfather saw who he believed to
be Father sitting in his car in the neighbor's yard watching Mother's home.
22. Mother and Stepfather got in their car and drove around the block to see if
it truly was Father sitting in the neighbor's yard and confirmed that it was Father.
23. Upon returning to their home, Mother remained in the car and Stepfather
got out of the car to confront Father.
24. Soon after, two Mount Joy Borough Police Officers arrived at Mother's
home in response to Father's complaint that Mother was leaving the children alone
while she drove Father to work.
25. Mother informed the police officers that she had received a call from
Lancaster County Children and Youth the night before, but that she had been told that
no case was being opened because she was not doing anything illegal.
26. One of the police officers told Mother that he did not believe her and that if
he received a call that she had left the children alone again, he would take them from
her.
27. Mother has not left the children alone since September 7, 2006 and will
not do so again.
FATHER'S LANCASTER COUNTY COMPLAINT
28. On September 8, 2006, Mother received a Complaint in Custody that
Father filed pro se and without his attorney's knowledge in Lancaster County on
September 7, 2006 that included an Order scheduling an Emergency Custody Hearing
for September 12, 2006 before the Honorable Henry S. Kenderdine, Jr. A true and
correct copy said Custody Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit T" and incorporated
herein as if fully set forth.
29. Prior to the Emergency Custody Hearing, Mother's counsel spoke to
Father's counsel who stated that she had nothing to do with the filing of the Custody
Complaint in Lancaster County and had told Father after the fact that she would not
represent him in Lancaster County and would not do anything to disturb the parties'
stipulation because they had agreed to it in good faith.
30. Mother attended the Emergency Custody Hearing on September 12, 2006
at 9:00 A.M.
31. Father failed to appear at the hearing.
32. Judge Kenderdine entered an order granting Mother's request to dismiss
Father's complaint and confirm jurisdiction in Cumberland County.
FATHER'S CURRENT CONTEMPT OF CUSTODY ORDER
33. At approximately 10:00 A.M. on September 12, 2006, Mother retrieved a
voicemail from Father stating that he unilaterally was deciding to remove Valerie from
school at Donegal Springs Elementary School and that he had called her school and
they were going to send her "paperwork" to him so that she could do her school work at
Father's home until she could be enrolled in school in Father's school district.
34. Father's voicemail also told Mother that he was not going to return Valerie
to Mother's custody as required under both the Agreed Order and Stipulation.
35. Mother's counsel was contacted by Father's new counsel, Jeffrey Engle,
Esquire, regarding Father's custody concerns and requested that Mother's counsel
provide Father's counsel with a letter confirming that Mother would not leave Valerie
alone again while she is in Mother's custody, which Mother's counsel faxed to Father's
counsel immediately. A true and correct copy of the letter dated September 12, 2006 is
attached hereto as Exhibit T" and is incorporated herein as if fully set forth.
36. Regardless of Mother's attempts to cooperate with Father and Father's
counsel's demands, Father did not return Valerie to Mother's custody on September 12,
2006, as required by the Agreed Order and the Stipulation, and Valerie did not attend
school again on September 13, 2006.
37. Late afternoon on September 12, 2006 Father's counsel faxed a letter to
Mother's counsel confirming that Father unilaterally was going to continue to keep
Valerie from attending school and deprive Mother of her custodial right. Father's
counsel's fax also included a Petition for Special Relief and a Petition for Modification of
Custody that he allegedly was going to file with this Court. A true and correct copy of
the letter dated September 12, 2006 is attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and incorporated
herein as if fully set forth.
37. Father is in contempt of the Agreed Order, which is the current Order of
Court, and the Stipulation in that he:
a. failed to discuss his desire to change the custody schedule
with Mother in March 2006 and presently prior to filing a Petition for
Modification;
b. failed to make an appointment for Mother and himself with
Anthea Stebbins prior to filing a Petition for Modification;
C. unilaterally chose to remove Valerie from school at Donegal
Springs Elementary School; and
d. failed to return Valerie to Mother's custody on September 12,
2006 as required by both the Agreed Order and the Stipulation.
38. Mother has incurred and will continue to incur needless counsel fees and
costs of more than $1,000 in the defense against Father's Lancaster County custody
complaint and in the preparation and presentation of this Petition.
WHEREFORE, Mother respectfully requests that this Court enter an Order
a) finding Father in contempt of the current custody order;
b) affirming Mother's primary physical custody of the child in
accordance with the Agreed Order dated August 12, 2004
C) requiring Father to return Valerie to Mother's custody immediately
in order to compensate her for the custodial time missed;
d) requiring Valerie to return to school at Donegal Springs Elementary
School on September 14, 2006 and will continue to attend said school
until further Order of Court; and
e) requiring Father to reimburse Mother for the reasonable counsel
fees and costs incurred in the defense against the Lancaster County
custody complaint and the preparation and presentation of this Petition.

Re: ANDERSON V. GRASER
Dear Jeff:
As per our telephone conversation, this letter is to confirm that
Valerie Anderson will not be left alone while in Mrs. Graser's custody, and
has not been left alone since Mr. Anderson expressed his concern to Mrs.
Graser.
In addition, I am requesting confirmation prior to 2:00 P.M. this
afternoon that Mr. Anderson will return Valerie to Mrs. Graser's custody
per the August 12, 2004 order by 4:00 P.M. this afternoon. If I do not
hear from you by then, I will file an emergency petition with the
Cumberland County Court.
I also refer you to paragraph 4 of the August 12, 2004 order that
states that "[!In the event either parent believes Valerie should be seen by
the counselor, or either feels the custody schedule needs toe be re-
addressed for Valerie's sake, they shall discuss this with each other and
make an appointment with Anthea Stebbins that is mutually convenient
for both of them to attend." If Mr. Anderson wants to address the
custody issue further, we expect that he will use the process agreed to by
the parties.
I look forward to hearing from you this afternoon.

Re:, Anderson v. Graser
No. 2004-524; Cumberland County
Dean Attorney Purdy:
Please be advised that, after discussing the return of Valerie to your client, my
client is not in agreement with doing so. I understand your client's request to abide by
the August 12, 2004 Order, however, my client cannot, in good conscience, maintain the
current custody schedule. Based upon zany client's knowledge of Ms. Graser's behavior,
he feels that the child is in danger and her best interest would be served by him
maintaining primary physical custody, of the child. Accordingly, I will be filing a Petition
for Special Relief with the Court and a Complaint for Modification of Custody.
. While I,understand that the parties did have a tentative custody stipulation,
certainly your client's actions have, caused a serve erosion of my client's confidence. My
client indicates that he signed the Stipulation some time in the middle of August and
Ms. Dils confirms this. Tshhply do not understand why it took your client
approximately three (3) weeks to sign a Custody Stipulation that should have been
signed within a week of my client's signature. This to me is disconcerting.
If any questions or concerns, please advise.

and Agreement with respect to the Petition to Modify in August of 2006. However, as of date,
the Respondent has not signed a Stipulation of the parties. (See true and correct copy of the
Stipulation of parties to be entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County,

health, safety and welfare of the minor child.

litigation concerning the custody of the child in this or another court. Plaintiff has no
information of a custody proceeding concerning the child pending in a court of this
Commonwealth.
15. Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceeding who has physical

16. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting the
relief requested.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff, Danny P. Anderson, respectfully requests that This Honorable

I was called at the station by Danny Anderson who told me that his 7 yr old daughter who lives with his ex wife
at 203 Fredrick St. has been telling him that Mommy lets her alone in the morning and goes and picks up her
new husband at work This morning the complaint sat down the street and watched as they left and the children
where not with her. The ex, Jennifer Graser also. has a 3 yr old at home to the new husband. As I was talking to
him they came back and started walking towards him. Office Menke and myself went to the scene in time to see
Jennifer backing up her car at a high rate of speed and her new husband walking up the street. I interviewed
Jennifer and office Manke interviewed the comp. I asked Jennifer if she leaves the children home alone while
she takes her husband to work She said yes for about 15 rains. and that CYA called her yesterday and they said
that was OK, that age doesn't matter. I told her that I didn't believe her and if she leaves the children home alone
again and I am called that I will take the children and place them into foster care. She was not happy with me
and would look at me or answer me, so I left.
I called CYA and talked to the case worker that called Jennifer yesterday. His story was a little different, He
told her that she could not leave the children home alone that she had to pack them up and take them with her
when she leaves the house for any period of time. I told him what happened this morning and he stated just to
call them and they will come get the kids.

CONTINUATION OF INCIDENT REPORT
NARRATIVE
09-07-06

I was called at the station by Danny Anderson who told me that his 7 yr old daughter who lives with his ex-wife
at 203 Fredrick St. has been telling him that Mommy lets her alone in the morning and goes and picks up her
new husband at work This. morning the complaint sat down the street and watched as they left and the children
where not with her. The ex, Jennifer Graser also has a 3 yr old at home to the new husband. As I was talking to
him they came back and started walking towards him. Office Manke and myself went to the scene in time to see
Jennifer backing up her car at a high rate of speed and her new husband walking up the street. I interviewed
Jennifer and office Manke interviewed the comp. I asked Jennifer if she leaves the children home alone while
she takes her husband to work She said yes for about 15 wins. and that CYA called her yesterday and they said
that was OK, that age doesn't matter. I told her that I didn't believe her and if she leaves the children home alone
again and I am called that I will take the children and place them into foster care. She was not happy with me
and would look at me or answer me, so I left.
I called CYA and talked to the case worker that called Jennifer yesterday. His story was a little different, He
told her that she could not leave the children home alone that she had to pack them up and take them with her
when she leaves the house for any period of time. I told him what happened this morning and he stated just to
call them and they will come get the kids.

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 Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Valerie E. Anderson January 10, 1999 Mother/Father
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on April 10, 2008, with the following
individuals in attendance: the Father, Danny P. Anderson, with his counsel, Diane M. Dils, Esquire,
and the Mother, Jennifer L. Graser, formerly Anderson, with her counsel, Robert J. Dailey, Esquire.
3. This Court previously entered an Order in this matter on September 21, 2006, based upon
the parties' Stipulation, under which the parties shared custody on a split weekly basis and the Child
was to attend school in the Mother's school district.
4. The Father filed this Complaint seeking primary physical custody of the Child. Although
the parties had previously attempted to resolve their issues through co-parenting counseling/mediation,
their efforts were unsuccessful. The parties were also unable to resolve the primary/shared physical
custody issue at the conciliation conference and, although the option of obtaining a custody evaluation
was discussed at length, it was determined that the costs were prohibitive. Therefore, it will be
necessary to schedule a hearing in this matter.
5. The Father's position on custody is as follows: the Father believes it would be in the
Child's best interest to reside primarily with him in Lemoyne and to attend school in the West Shore
School District. The Father expressed concern regarding the Child's school performance and
preparation for school, including both homework and personal care. The Father believes that he offers
the Child a more appropriate home environment than is the case at the Mother's place of residence
where another family also resides. The Father seeks primary physical custody of the Child.
6. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: the Mother believes it would be best for the
Child to continue using a shared custody arrangement under which the Child goes to school from the
Mother's residence during the week and stays with the Father during weekends, when the Mother is
working. The Mother believes it would be best to revert back to the schedule in the parties' Stipulation
rather than the current schedule which made certain adjustments to that schedule which the Mother
feels have decreased her ability to remain as involved as possible in the Child's school work.
7. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing in this
matter. It is anticipated that the hearing will require at least one-half day.
