RICKY A. KROUT, : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Piaintiff(Father : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. t NO. 2008-CV-CU G 5-- 3 (o a y G'v""
LAURA J. KROUT, : CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Defendant/Mother :CUSTODY
COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THE SAID COURT:
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, RICKY A. KROUT, by his attorney HERBERT
CORKY GOLDSTEIN, Esquire, and respectfully represents the following:
1. Plaintiff is RICKY A. KROUT, who resides at 126 Glendale Drive,
Mechanicsburg,PA.17050.
2. Defendant is LAURA J. KROUT, who resides at 426 North !;* Street, Lebanon,
PA 17046
3. Plaintiff is asking the Court that he and the Defendant be granted Shared Legal
Custody. but that Primary Physical Custody now be granted to Plaintiff/Father.
4. There is now no Court Order.
5. Plaintiff and Defendant were divorced on March 31'`, 2006 in Cumberland
County.
6. The best interests and welfare of the minor child, TOMMY EUGENE KROUT,
born March 28, 1999, who is now nine years old, would be served by placing
primary physical custody of Tommy with the Plaintiff, subject to partial custody
privileges with Defendant along somewhat the very same schedule now in place.
7. Mother has moved to Lebanon County about six weeks ago, and Tommy was
taken out of school without any notification to Father, and moved into a school
in Lebanon City. He was in third grade in the Cumberland Valley School
District where he was very active in football and basketball and doing very well
in school. He had to leave all his friends and school with only two (2) months to
go in the school year. No consideration again was given to Tommy's schooling
or his being just taken out of his school.
a. .From birth until age 5, he lived with Plaintiff and Defendant at 30 Sunset
Drive, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050 in a home previously owned by the
Plaintiff.
b. In 2004, when Tommy was five, Defendant separated from Plaintiff, and
moved with Tommy into a house owned by Kevin Kramer at 4865
Creekview Road, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050.
c. In 2005, Defendant then moved with Tommy to Enola (Cumberland County)
to 155 East Columbia Road, Enola, PA 17025.
d. In 2006, Defendant then moved to a trailer park located at 98 Regency
Woods North, Carlisle, PA. 17015
e. In April of 2008, Defendant suddenly, without prior notice to Father, moved
with Tommy to Lebanon City to 426 North 5* Street, Lebanon, PA 17046,
and moved in with a man named Roger Coffen, who she found on the
Internet. She took Tommy out of Hampton Elementary School, grade 3,
with only two months left in the school year and placed him in a school in
Lebanon Northeast Elementary School, where Tommy knew no one at all,
and now goes to school, and just comes home. He has again been totally and
suddenly uprooted due to Mother's unstable life style.
8. Plaintiff has not participated as a party, witness or otherwise in any other
litigation concerning the custody of said minor child in Pennsylvania or any
other State.
9. Plaintiff does not know of any person not a party to these proceedings who has
physical custody of the said minor child or who claims to have custody or
visitation rights with respect to them.
10. It is strongly believed that if Primary Physical custody was granted to
Plaintiff/Father, and Defendant/Mother had somewhat what the Plaintiff/Father
has now in custody/visitation with Tommy, this minor child would have a much
more secure, stable, and normal environment, and have a much more balanced
and fulfilling life for a child. Tommy now lives in Lebanon, and has been taken
away from his family, friends, and school, where he was doing extremely well
academically and in sports. He was also very happy and loved his school.
11. Defendant/Mother has just not been able to give to Tommy the essential stability
and emotional well-being he desperately needs to have the opportunity and
chance to grow and mature in a way all children deserve. Defendant/Mother
has moved four times since separation from Father and placed Tommy in four
different school districts, not for jobs
12. Tommy iW" like very _ Winch to live with his father and return to the
Cumberland Vey School; District, and visit with his mother like he now does
with his father. He loves his mother, but Plaintiff/Father wants him to have the
opportunity for a much more balanced life, with some much needed consistency.
13. Tommy wants a secure and stable life.
14. PlaintifVFather believes that so many random men have been introduced into
Tommy's young life, that his perception of "romantic relationships" between
adult men and women have been very negative to a mentally healthy childhood
and will only continue to be detrimental to him.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully prays that your Honorable Court order that
Primary Physical Custody be given to Phdntiff/Father and Shared Legal to Plaintiff and
Defendant of Tommy Eugene Kraut, but with very liberal visitation/custody with
Mother/Defendant.
Respectfully submitted,

CIVIL ACTION -LAW
CUSTODY
PETITION FOR EMERGENCY SPECIAL RELIEF/ AND
PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF EXISTING ORDER
1. A Custody Order was signed by Judge Edgar B. Bayley on August 19th, 2008, after
an Agreement was reached at a Custody Conference before Dawn S. Sunday,
Esquire, the Custody Conciliator on August 13t`, 2008. A copy of that Order is
attached to this Petition.
2. The reason for the Petition for Emergency Special Relief is that school at
Greenridge Elementary in the Cumberland Valley School District for Tommy
Eugene Krout starts on August 27th, 2009, and Mother is moving out of the school
district to Millerstown to live with another man (her sixth in 6 years), and Mofhei
told the School District she was moving to Millerstown out of the School District,
but that Tommy would now be living with his father (no one week on and one week
off as it is now) during the school year. Mother even gave to the School District her
new address in Millerstown, and that is how Plaintiff/Father found out about this
scheme.
3. Mother then told father that since she was moving to Millerstown (a 45 minute car
ride away) that Tommy would stay with "her" primarily (which would be illegal for
attendance at Cumberland Valley School District, and father could have their son
on every Wednesday after school until Thursday morning when he goes to school.
Mother has made this unilateral decision to just change the existing Order from one
week on/one week off, but lied to the School District as to where Tommy would be
really living.
4. Ricky Krout then went to the School and he was informed that Tommy would have
to be with him for the school year, as mother is moving to Millerstown and she
agreed to this new arrangement. However, she only told this to the School District,
but she plans to have Tommy stay with her during the school year primarily, and
told the father, Ricky Krout, he would have Tommy every Wednesday night and
every other week end.
5. Mother has unilaterally just changed the existing Court Order, but lied to the
Cumberland Valley School District as to her "real" intentions, as she knows that it "
would not be legal, as she is going to be living outside the school district, a 45 minute
car ride away.
6. Again, as she tried before, she plans to take Tommy away from his family, all his
school friends, his father, etc., and she is taking him to Millerstown where there -is
no family except for her, none of his friends, and somehow believes she can just do
this and dictate when Tommy would see his father.
7. The Plaintiff/Father, because school is starting on the 27th of August must have this
resolved for his son and the School District as soon as possible and prevent the
Defendant/Mother from removing their son from the School District and relocating
him 45 minutes away.
8. Plaintiff/Father is now requesting that Tommy live with him and Tommy's family
throughout the school year, and Defendant/Mother will have him every other
weekend from Friday after school until Monday morning when she brings him to
school, continue to share the Holidays, as they now do, and then in the summer go
back to the one week with Father and one week with Mother (one week on and one
week off schedule).
9. Tommy did very well in school this past year and is very stable and happy at his
school and with his friends and everything about his life. Mother's plan we submit
would be very harmful to Tommy.
10. Because of the distance, it is apparent that he will also miss his football practices
and other activities.
11. Right now Mother is living within the School District, at 6%1 Wertzville Road,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050. She told the School District she would be
living at 136 Marsh Run Drive, Millerstown, Pennsylvania 17062 beginning
September 1", 2009.
12. We respectfully request that Hearing be established as soon as possible so Todmy
knows what his life will be when school starts on August 27th, 2009.
