arrangements for physical custody of the child than as provided herein, upon
mutual agreement.
4. Transportation and Exchange. The transportation shall be shared equally by
the parties, with the parent who is to receive custody at the time of the exchange to
provide for transportation from the residence or location of the other parent. At all times,
all children shall be secured in appropriate passenger restraints.
5. Ongoing Relationship. Neither party shall attempt to undermine the mutual
love and affection that the child may have for the other parent and neither parent shall, in
the presence of the child make any disparaging or negative remarks concerning the other
parent. Each party shall confer with the other on all matters of importance relating to the
child's health, maintenance, and education with a view toward obtaining and following a
harmonious policy in the child's education and social adjustment. Each party agrees to
keep the other informed of his or her residence and telephone number to facilitate
communication concerning the welfare of the child and visitation period. Each party
agrees to supply the name, address, and telephone numbers of any person in whose
care the child will be in for a period in excess of forty-eight (48) hours, and for each
person or entity which may provide daycare for the child.

the parent 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

involved in the decision making process as soon as possible. The term "serious illness"
as used herein shall mean any disability which confines a child to bed for a period in
excess of seventy-two (72) hours and which places the child under the direction of a

other parenting issues.
8. Binding Effect and Modification of Order. This Agreement and all of its
terms and conditions shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, and assigns. The parties are free to modify
the terms of this Agreement but in order to do so both parties must be in complete
agreement to any new terms. That means both parties must consent on what the new
terms of the custody arrangement or visitation schedule shall be.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and controlled by the
laws of Pennsylvania.
10. Enforcement. The parties agree that this Agreement maybe adopted as an
Order of Court without the necessity of a Court hearing.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and no representations,
inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, not embodied herein shall be of
any force or effect. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements, written or
oral, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereto duly executed the present
Stipulation and Custody Agreement the day and year first above written.

The parties are the parents of Lucas.
Lucas was born while the parents were married.
The child is presently in the primary physical custody of the Respondent pursuant

Respondent have somewhat followed this order since the order's issuance date.

8. Petitioner 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.
9. The current Order should be modified because the child is being exchanged too
often which causes the child emotional distress and a sense of instability and, therefore, is not in
the child's best interest.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to grant him shared physical
custody of the child for more continuous periods of time.

estrange the Child from the other party, or injure the opinion of the Child as to the other party,
or may hamper the free and natural development of the Child's love or affection for the other
party. To the extent possible, both parties shall not allow third parties to disparage the other
parent in the presence of the Child. Both parties are directed to not discuss the custodial
litigation with the Child and attempt to influence the Child in any manner.

FINDINGS OF FACT

Pennsylvania.
3. The parties were married on June 20, 1998.
4. The parties separated on February 23, 2008.
5. The parties are the parents of Lucas D. Carey, a minor child born February 5, 1999.

9. The Defendant contested the Plaintiff's entitlement to spousal support, and the matter

EXHIBIT "A"
10. On August 13, 2008 the Plaintiff filed a petition for alimony pendente lite in the

11. At the hearing this date the Plaintiff withdrew her claim for spousal support and
directed to proceed only on the claim for alimony pendente lite.

a gross bi-weekly salary of $1,346.15.

14. The Plaintiff s tax filing status is head of household with one child claimed as a

17. The Defendant was found eligible for receipt of unemployment compensation

DISCUSSION
In Clouse v. Clouse, 50 Cumberland L.J. 167, 170 (2001) the Honorable J.
Wesley Oler discussed the law of Pennsylvania as it relates to the subject of alimony
pendente lite wherein he stated:
The determination of whether to award alimony pendente lite has
traditionally been a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court.
Litmans v. Litmans, 449 Pa. Superior Ct. 209, 222, 673 A.2d 382, 388 (1996)
(citing Murphy v. Murphy, 410 Pa. Superior Ct. 146, 599 A.2d 647 (1991),
appeal denied, 530 Pa. 633, 606 A.2d 902 (1992), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 868,
113 S.Ct. 196, 121 L.Ed. 2d 139 (1992)). APL is based on the need of one
spouse to have the financial resources to pursue or defend a divorce action.
Litmans, supra at 222, 763 A.2d at 388. The claimant must show that APL is
needed to adequately preserve his or her rights in the litigation. Sutliff v.
Sutliff, 326 Pa. Superior Ct. 496, 500, 474 A.2d 599, 600 (1984), overruled on
other rids, Rosen v. Rosen, 520 Pa. 19, 549 A.2d 561 (1988). In this
regard, the Pennsylvania Superior Court has stated that "a spouse seeking
alimony pendente lite who has sufficient assets to meet the needs of the
pending litigation and who is equally situated with the other spouse to
2
maintain or defend the action, will not be awarded alimony pendente lite."
Powers v. Powers, 419 Pa. Superior Ct. 464, 467,615 A.2d 459, 460 (1992).
In adjudicating a claim for alimony pendente lite, a court should
consider the following factors: "the ability of the other party to pay; the
separate estate and income of the petitioning party; and the character,
situation, and surroundings of the parties." Litmans, supra. at 224, 673 A.2d
at 389.
Once entitlement to an award of alimony pendente lite is established, the calculation of the
amount of the award is made pursuant to the support guidelines. Little v. Little, 47
Cumberland L.J. 131 (1998).
The Plaintiff does not have sufficient funds to go forward with the divorce action. At
the time of the filing of the petition for alimony pendente lite, the Defendant had sufficient
income to pay an alimony pendente lite order. However, less than two weeks after the
Plaintiff filed her petition for alimony pendente lite the Defendant was involuntarily
terminated from his employment. With income limited to only $539.00 per week in
unemployment compensation benefits and a child support obligation, the Defendant does not
have the present ability to pay alimony pendente lite. Consequently the Plaintiff's petition
will be dismissed without prejudice to refile at such time as the Defendant obtains gainful
employment.
RECOMMENDATION
A. The Plaintiff's Complaint for spousal support is dismissed.
B. The Plaintiff's claim for alimony pendente lite is denied without prejudice.

WITNESSETH:

distribution of real and personal property; the settling of all matters between them
relating to the past, present, and future support, alimony, and/or maintenance of
Husband or Wife; and in general, the settling of any and all possible claims by one

promises, covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth and for other good and
valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and each intending to
be legally bound, Husband and Wife hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1 FULL DISCLOSURE OF ASSETS. Each party warrants that he or she has

disclosures are part of the consideration made by each party for entering into this
agreement. Each party agrees that he or she shall not, at any future time, raise as a
defense, or otherwise, the lack of such disclosure in any legal proceedings involving
this agreement, with the exception of disclosure that may have been fraudulently
withheld. In the event that either party, at any time hereafter, discovers such a
fraudulently undisclosed asset, that party shall have the right to petition the Court of
Common Pleas of Cumberland County to make equitable distribution of such asset.
The non-disclosing party shall be responsible for payment of counsel fees, costs, or
expenses incurred by the other party in seeking equitable distribution of such asset.

agreement shall be defined as the date upon which it is executed by the parties if they

the estate of the other as a result of the marital relationship, including without limitation,
statutory allowance, widow's allowance, right of intestacy, right to take against the will
of the other, and right to act as administrator or executor in the other's estate. Each will

CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b),the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the child who is the subject of this litigation is
as follows:
Lucas D. Carey,born February 5, 1999.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on March 13,2013,with the following individuals
in attendance:
The mother,Amanda N.Merkel(f/k/a Amanda N. Carey),with her counsel,Michelle
Sommer, Esquire, and the father, Clinton D. Carey, with his counsel, Jordan D.
Cunningham, Esquire.
3. The parties are acting under a custody Order from September 2008 at which time they
agreed upon an Order with mother having primary custody and father having various
periods of partial custody. Father now suggests that the child wants to come to live
with him which would require a move from the Carlisle School District to the Big
Spring School District. Mother is unwilling to agree on that change in the custody
Order at this time and it appears that a hearing is necessary. The parties agree to have
the child consult with a counselor and that provision will be included in the
recommended Order.
4. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached.

with alternating weekends and holidays and two nights a week.

seeks primary custody and a transfer of the child to the Big
Spring School District . As this is Father' s request,
Defendant/Father shall proceed first with testimony followed by
Plaintiff/Mother and any expected witnesses .

the expected expert witness is Kasey Shienvold, whom the Court
may take out of order if necessary or using advance communication
technology. Additional testimony is expected for Plaintiff from
Nathan Merkel, husband, and for Defendant Jennifer Carey, wife .
The . requested child witness is Lucas Carey, which the Court has
not made a determination if the child will testify, but if so the
Court itself will question the child in camera. At this point
the child is not to be brought to the courthouse for any reason
on the trial date absent further Order of Court.
The total time allotted to each party for
examination and cross examination of all witnesses is 2 hours
each, how they choose to use it is left to them but additional

their exhibit list to the Court for use at trial and shall
premark their exhibits .
If the expert can answer the guardian ad litem
question sufficiently for the Court, no additional guardian ad
litem should be pointed. However, if the expert cannot tell the
Court whether it is in the best interests of the child to testify
or not testify and why, then the Court will appoint a guardian ad
litem, and counsel for the parties are not to examine the child
witness .
The trial shall commence on 10 June 2013, at
9: 30 a.m. , in Courtroom Number 6 of the Cumberland County
