PETITION FOR
MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW, this oC 1 day of August, 2009, comes the Plaintiff, JESSE E. STRAITIFF,
by and through his attorneys, Irwin & McKnight, P.C. and presents the following Petition for
Modification of Custody Order, averring as follows:
1. The Plaintiff is Jesse E. Straitiff, an adult individual of 3 Bard Road,
Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17257 (hereinafter "Father").
2. The Defendant is Amanda J. Tritt, an adult individual residing at 473 East King
Street, Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17257 (hereinafter "Mother").
3. The parties are the natural parents of one (1) son named Kamren I. Straitiff, born
March 27, 2006, and currently age 3 years.
4. On August 4, 2008, after an agreement was reached between the parties, an Order
of Court was entered in this matter establishing shared legal custody and a physical custody
schedule with alternating weekends and a right of first refusal for Father when Mother is
working and not available for custody. Said Order is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit "A."
5. Since the end of the Mother's maternity leave at approximately the end of March
2009, Father has repeatedly requested that Mother provide him with copies of her work schedule
to assist in the operation of his right of first refusal.
1
6. Mother has consistently failed to provide regular copies of her work schedule, and
has frequently allowed unrelated third parties to provide care without first contacting the Father.
7. Mother has also been negligent in updating Father as to changes in her work
schedule in order to facilitate Father having custody of the child while Mother is working.
8. Upon information and belief, Mother's work schedule has increased, thereby
decreasing the time she has available for the care of the minor child.
9. Father is currently unemployed due to medical issues with his back that prevented
him from performing the rigorous job responsibilities at his last employment.
10. Father therefore has more time available to care for his son until he secures new
employment.
11. Father desires shared physical custody and joint legal custody of the parties'
minor son, Kamren I. Straitiff.
12. Father further desires a formal document outlining the custody schedule between
the parties during holidays.
13. The best interests and permanent welfare of the minor child requires that the
Court grant the Father's request as set forth above.
14. Father has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the child pending
in a court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
15. Father does not know of a person not a parry to the proceedings who has physical
custody of the children or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the children.
16. Due to the nature of the Petition, it is anticipated that opposing counsel will not
concur in the requested modification, and therefore the concurrence of opposing counsel in the
filing of this Petition has not been requested.
17. Judge Edward E. Guido signed the previous Order in this matter.

WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully seeks the entry of an Order of Court granting
Defendant's Petition for Modification of Custody Order.

9. Petitioner is also in the process of researching and investigating other private,
parochial schools, in the Carlisle, Shippensburg, and Chambersburg area.
10. Petitioner also desires to enroll the minor child with a licensed counselor for
assistance in dealing with the separation of the parties and the child's upcoming school
enrollment.
11. Petitioner would also be fully responsible for the costs of such a licensed
counselor.
12. Respondent has resisted the Petitioner's requests to enroll the minor child in a
private school, but has previously expressed willingness if she does not incur any tuition expense
for such an enrollment.
13. Petitioner believes that the best interests and permanent welfare of the minor child
requires that the Court grant the Petitioner's special relief request as set forth herein.
14. The undersigned has contacted Respondent's legal counsel of record in this matter
regarding the instant Petition, but she has been unable to reach Respondent.
15. The Honorable Edward E. Guido signed the last order in this matter entered on

WHEREFORE, the Petitioner, Jesse E. Straitiff, respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to enter an Order indicating that Kamren I. Straitiff, shall be enrolled and attend a private
parochial school, with Petitioner being responsible for the tuition expenses and transportation for
2
said school, and that Kamren I. Straitiff also be permitted to attend sessions with a licensed
counselor at the sole expense of the Petitioner.

records and information pertaining to the child including, but not limited to medical, dental,
religious, or school records, the residence address of the child and the other parent. To the extent

to full participation in all educational and medical/treatment planning meetings and evaluations

care of the child.
8. The parties agree that there shall be reasonable telephone contact with the child
during the periods when the child is not in the custody of that 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.
5

require their attendance or participation at said activity or appointment during a time when he is
scheduled to be in the physical custody of the other parent without that parent's express prior
approval.

accordance with the physical custody schedule and to encourage them to participate in the plan
hereby agreed and ordered.

parent agrees to inform the other parent if he or she desires to remove the child overnight from
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by providing notice at least ten (10) calendar days prior to
the anticipated date of departure. In such an instance, the party who desires to remove the child,
shall provide the other parent with a general schedule of the planned vacation and its location or
locations, along with a telephone number or numbers, including area code, where the child may
be reached.
13. The parties desire that this Stipulation and Agreement be made an Order of Court
by the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, and further acknowledge that the Court
of Common Pleas of Cumberland County has jurisdiction over the issue of custody of the
parties' minor child, and shall retain such jurisdiction should circumstances change and either
party desires or requires modification of said Order.
14. The parties may temporarily alter the schedule of physical custody as is mutually
agreeable in order to accommodate special family events or other changes in their schedule. If
6
the parties cannot agree on any such changes, the terms and provisions of this Order shall
control.
15. Any permanent modification or waiver of the provisions of this agreement must
be in writing and shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with the same formality
as this Stipulation and Agreement.
16. The parties acknowledge that entering into this Stipulation and Agreement, there
has been no fraud, concealment, overreaching, coercion, or other unfair dealing on the part of
either party.
17. The parties acknowledge that they have read and understand the provisions of this
Stipulation and Agreement. Each party acknowledges that the Stipulation and Agreement is fair
and equitable and that it is not the result of duress or undue influence.
