parent from removing the child from the jurisdiction pending custody conciliation. On March

Matter requesting relocation to North Carolina. Present for the conference were: the

M. Mosley, and her counsel, Michael A. Scherer, Esquire.
3. The parties were not able to reach an agreement regarding primary custody of
the child in light of Mother's March 20, 2004 relocation to Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

that she had planned a relocation and advised Father of her intended relocation in January
of 2004. She is presently unemployed. She resides with her grandmother and 13 year old
