PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff/Petitioner, John C. Marsh, by and through his attorneys,
MARTSON LAW OFFICES, and files this Petition for Contempt:
1. Plaintiff/Petitioner, John C. Marsh,(hereinafter, "Father") is an adult individual
currently residing at 416 Oxford Road, Gardners, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant/Respondent Linda Kay Holmes n/k/a Linda Kay Hackman, (hereinafter,
"Mother") is an adult individual currently residing at 604 North Baltimore Avenue, Apt. D, Mt.
Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are the parents of Michelle E. Marsh, who was born on August 1, 2001.
4. A Custody Order in this case was entered on July 7, 2008, a copy of which is attached
hereto and marked as Exhibit "A."
5. Since that Order, Mother has on numerous occasions refused to allow Father custody
of Michelle for his weekend custody.
6. Father had one week of vacation with his daughter; however, Mother would not allow
him to have a second week of vacation with his daughter pursuant to Order.
7. Mother took a vacation period with Michelle during Father's weekend of September
12 and 13, 2009; however, she refuses Father to have make-up time with his daughter. There is no
provision for Mother to take vacation over Father's weekend as the schedule is that Father only has
the child on alternating weekends year-round.
8. The Honorable Kevin A. Hess signed the Order of July 7, 2008.
WHEREFORE, Father prays Your Honorable Court to hold Mother in contempt of the
Court's Custody Order issued in this case, give Father a make-up weekend and an extra seven-day

his out-of-pocket expenses incurred in enforcing said Order.

DEFENDANT'S ANSWER AND COUNTER-PETITION TO PLAINTIFF'S
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Denied. It is denied that Mother has ever refused to allow Father
custody of the child for his weekend.
6. Denied. Pursuant to the parties' Custody Order, a copy of which is
attached to Father's petition, Father is entitled to fourteen (14) days of custody with the
child during her summer break. Father took one full seven (7) day period and the rest
of the days were taken one or two at a time throughout the summer. A copy of
Mother's custody calendar indicating the days taken by Father is attached hereto, made
a part hereof and marked Exhibit "A."
7. Denied. It is denied Mother took a period of vacation over Father's
weekend. Mother indicated to Father that she had a family event on said weekend and
asked that Father switch weekends with her. Father agreed and Mother attended her
event. However, the following weekend, when Father was expected to take his
weekend with the child, he did not show up nor did he call or answer his phone when
Mother called. Father showed up the following weekend, which should have been
Mother's due to the switch, but she allowed Father to take the child for the weekend.
8. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny
Plaintiff s requested relief.
COUNTER-PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
9. Defendant hereby incorporates the preceding paragraphs by reference as
if more fully set forth herein at length.
10. Paragraph 10 of the parties' July 7, 2008, custody order states that
neither party shall drink to the point of intoxication during their custodial period.
11. Mother believes, and therefore avers, that Father has, on numerous
occasions, driven with the child while he was in a state of intoxication. Father
routinely delivers the child home after his custodial periods when he is in a drunken
state. In addition, the child has reported to Mother that Father drinks throughout his
periods of custody and that he virtually ignores her when they are together.
WHEREFORE, Mother respectfully requests that this Honorable Court hold
Father in contempt of the July 7, 2008 Order of Court; require Father to undergo
treatment for alcoholism; restrict Father's custodial periods to supervised only until
completing said treatment; and require Father to pay Mother's reasonable attorney's
fees in the amount of $1,000.00 for the preparation and presentation of this Answer and
Counter-Petition.

parties to disparage the other parent in the presence of the Child.
