PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW COMES the Petitioner, Mary \. Whitehead-Way, by and through her
attorney, Jane Adams, Esquire, and files this Petition for Special Relief respectfully representing
as follows:
1. Plaintiff/Mother is Mary \. Whitehead-Way, an adult individual residing at 203
Widders Drive, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055.
2. Defendant/Father is Jay M. Way, an adult individual who has resided in both Opelika,
Alabama, and Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in the past few months.
3. Mother and Father are the natural parents of three children, namely:
NAME DOB ADDRESS OF CHILDREN
Mia Elizabeth Way I I/30/95 203 Widders Drive,
11echanicsburg,Pa.I7055
Emma Taylor Way 9/17/97
Beck Michael Way 8/6/99
4. The children have been in the primary custody of Mother since the parties separated on
March I 1,2004. Father has been afforded liberal visitation with the children by mutual oral
agreement.
5. During the past several months, Father has spent a ,;onsiderable amount oftime in
Opelika, Alabama, where he lived with farnily members.
6. The parties have attempted to negotiate a written custody agreement and order
regarding the legal and physical custody of the children with no success.
7. There is no current custody order regarding the childr,en and Mother has serious
concerns that Father may remove the children from this jurisdiction or not return the children to
her as the parties had previously agreed. These concerns arose due to Father's recent conduct
and statements to Mother.
8. Mother believes it would be in the best interest of the children for this Court to issue
an Order for Special Relief, directly ordering Father not to remove the children from the
jurisdiction without the express written consent of Mother, in order to prevent the children from
being removed from the jurisdiction before a conciliation conference can be held on this matter.
9. Mother has, as of this date, initiated an action in Custody by the filing of a Complaint
with the Court, under the above-captioned docket number.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Mother requests this Honorabltl Court to enter a Temporary
Court Order directing Defendant, Jay M. Way, not to remove th,~ children from this jurisdiction
in excess of 72 hours without the express written consent of Mother, pending further Order of
Court, and directing the Court Administrator's office to schedule an expedited custody
conciliation conference to address the issues raised in this matter.
