Defendant
COMPLAINT TO MOTIFY CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW, this 7th of July, 2011 comes the Plaintiff, Sara F. Rothenberger
by her attorney, Diane M. Dils, Esquire, and respectfully avers the following:
1. The Plaintiff, Sara F. Rothenberger, is an adult individual, whose current
mailing address is P.O. Box 6811, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17112.
2. The Defendant, John S. Knaub, is an adult individual, who is currently
incarcerated at SCI Pittsburgh, 3001 Beaver Avenue, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania 15233, Inmate No. JJ8835.
3. Plaintiff and Defendant are the natural parents of one child; namely:
®$70.0o d Q
?* q0 )b
Justice Scott Knaub, born September 16, 2005.
4. Attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A"` is a copy of the current
custody Order dated June 10, 2008.
5. After entry of the Order dated June 10, 2008, Father visited with the
minor child, at the most, two or three times.
6. In November of 2009, when Mother was calling Father to inquire
whether he wanted to visit with his son, Father filed harassment charges
against Mother, which were eventually dismissed.
7. Thereafter, Mother did not contact Father to inquire as to visitation, and
Father did not contact Mother requesting any visitation.
8. Shortly thereafter, Father was incarcerated at his current location and it
is believed he is serving a sentencing of three years to five years.
9. The minor child will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall of 2012.
10. The minor child has been experiencing behavioral problems and his
Occupational Therapist has recommended to Mother that the child be
seen by a psychologist or psychiatrist for the purpose of determining
whether the child is in need of medication.
11. Mother has not been able to secure the assistance of a psychologist or
psychiatrist in that the current Order provides for shared legal custody of
the minor child.
12. Mother contacted Father via mail and requested he sign a statement
permitting the evaluation and/or treatment for the child. See Father's
response attached hereto as Exhibit "B", which basically consists of
rambling questions.
13. The support Order which was filed in the Domestic Relations Office of
Cumberland County was terminated by the Domestic Relations Office in
February of 2011 with approximately $5,000.00 of arrears as a result of
the Father's inability to pay the same.
14. It is respectfully requested that Mother be granted sole legal custody so
that the minor child may be treated for his behavorial problems.
15. Father has not been involved in the minor child's life since his birth.
16. It is further requested that a modified Order be entered to provide that if
Father desires contact upon his release from incarceration, that he be
required to cooperate with the psychologist or psychiatrist at that time, to
determine what is in the best interests of the minor child.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Sara E. Rothenberger, respectfully prays Your
Honorable Court to modify the Order of Court entered June 10, 2008 granting her
sole legal and physical custody of her son.
