Re: Plitt v. Gregor (Plitt)
Dear Mr. Russo:
I have been contacted by Ms. Gregor regarding custody. Ms. Gregor is planning to be
married on May 7, 2006. She would like to have her son, Zachary, attend the wedding and be
part of the ceremony. Unfortunately, the parties have been unable to agree to any changes in
the present schedule as your client is scheduled to have custody of Zachary during this weekend.
Accordingly, I am respectfully requesting that Ms. Gregor have custody of Zachary from May
6, 2006 at 9:00 AM through Monday, May 8, 2006. Ms. Gregor would be happy to exchange
two days or a weekend for this accommodation for a special event. Please let me know at your
earliest convenience if we are able to reach a mutual accommodation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
'i

Subject: RE: Summer Schedule change
just to clear things up for you
Please know that Zack is old enough to be responsible for his things (our co-parenting
Page 1 of ?
counselors tried to make this abundantly clear to you). I buy Zack clothes and they end up
destroyed at your place or scattered all over your family's and I never see them again. You have
some clothes that are recently brand new that Zack only wore once. They have been with you
for over a month and not returned to me. The problem with the clothes ending up in your
possession occurs during the sporting seasons when I pack Zack a new set of clothes for the
next day and you keep it - this is why you end up with most of his clothes & I have no idea how /
why you pretend that you have none. At your request I have given you all the clothes I have
of 'yours' - I expect the same courtesy. Also , I want the entire Baseball uniform - I paid for
all of it .
YOU unilaterally made the choice to have Zack stay in Gettysburg. There are tons of other
options for him. Both you and your attorney have always made it abundantly clear how much
flexibility you have in your schedule. If that is in fact the truth than you should have no problem
having Zack at your apartment on my scheduled pick-up days @ 4:30p. m. To quote you: " If I
am not mistaken, I will only have to go to Gettysburg one time one week and two times the next
week..." -- if this isn't that much to you than there really is no problem for your Parents to have
to bring him to your apartment.
Additionally:
You are not "accommodating" or "making adjustments" for anyone's schedule other than
the Court Order
. It is YOUR responsibility to have Zachary at your apartment for pickups at the appointed
time - would you like for me to have you pick him up at his Grandmother's in Harrisburg on
the days I am working and he is with her? (I run all the way over there to get him in the
spirit of co-operation so that you can pick him up locally.)
. I "suddenly" cannot provide free daycare during your custody times as I have done in the
past because of your irresponsibility in terms of financial support (like dropping health
insurance, not paying for half of all other costs, etc.) You must realize this, don't you?
Wasn't that you and your attorney scoffing at the value of this convenience you've enjoyed

Subject: RE: Summer Schedule change
I have been in a training seminar in Lancaster and just got into the office.
Page 2 of 3
First let me address the issue of sending Zachary out in his underwear. You HAVE clothes to put on him and you
should do so. Sending him out to my vehicle in his underwear is uncalled for, is humiliating and embarrassing to
Zachary and in my opinion borders on emotional abuse. His clothes are his clothes and he should be able to wear
them, and decide what he wants to wear....
Please don't do that to him again.
Second, as far as the summer schedule goes, I will not be making any adjustments to it. You will be able to pick
Zachary up in Gettysburg at 4:30. I'm not sure how you expect me to have him at my house at 4:30 when you know I
work until 5:00. 1 made adjustments to the schedule based on your availability, short notice and no reasoning of
changing the schedule and with no discussion with me about the changes. I am sorry that Zachary's grandparents
cannot be running Zachary up here to Mechanicsburg. If I am not mistaking you will only have to go to Gettysburg
one time one week and two times the next week.
On a side note, how is it that you sat in the Domestics meeting and said how you have to care for him in the summer
and not even a week after the meeting you all of a sudden can't watch him?
As far as you keeping Zachary on Thursday during the day, that will be fine. I will pick Zachary up at your house
on Friday @ 5:30.

Anna,
I don't think it was very considerate of you to give such short notice on changing the schedule.
Letting me know a 10:00 pm on Sunday night that you were not going to be watching Zachary
that Monday morning and Thursdays is not making an effort to work together. Please next time
give me more notice or at least comunicate with me verbally.
As far as you changing the summer schedule: I have made the adjustments to accomodate you
as follows:
I will pick Zachary up Tuesdays as stated in the Court Order.
Every Wednesday Zachary will be at his grandparents.
Every Thursday until 4:30 Zachary will be at his grandparents.
Every Monday following the weekend Zachary is with me, he will be at his grandparents.
NOTE: I AM NOT CHANGING ANY OF MY SCHEDULED TIME WITH ZACHARY STATED IN
THE COURT ORDER. I AM ONLY MAKING SURE ZACHARY HAS CARE FOR THE TIME HE
IS SCHEDULED TO BE WITH ME ACCORDING TO THE COURT ORDER.
That being said, you will be able to pick Zachary up on the Mondays following my weekends and
every Thursday at 4:30 in Gettysburg. Since it is preferred that you do not come on to their
property, you can meet them at the exchange place that was used before. The Texaco stop at
the end of the exit.
As far as the exchange next Wednesday, You can pick Zachary up in Gettysburg Wednesday at
4:30. 1 will pick Zachary up Thursday morning at 8:00 am at your house. Thursday you will pick
Zachary up at 4:30 in Gettysburg at the Texaco stop.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
PURSUANT TO RULE 1930.5(b)
AND NOW, COMES, Defendant, Christopher L. Plitt by and through his counsel,
Law Offices of Peter J. Russo, P.C. and avers the following in support of his Petition:
1. Christopher L. Plitt is an adult individual and the father of Zachary L. Plitt,
born December 14, 1994
2. Anna J. Triano is an adult individual and the mother of Zachary L. Plitt, born
December 14, 1994.
3. Plaintiff filed an action for child support on March 30, 2007.
4. A Support Conference was held in the Cumberland County Domestic
Relations Office on 6/12/2007 before Amy Ickes.
5. During the Support Conference several issues were raised, to wit:
a. Plaintiff's earning capacity
b. Plaintiff's inability to obtain full time employment.
6. Notwithstanding the issues raised at the Support Conference, the parties
were able to come to a private agreement as to the obligation contained in the
Support Order.
7. On June 29, 2007, Plaintiff appealed the private agreement of the parties and
seeks a hearing de novo.
8. As a result of Plaintiffs desire for a hearing de novo, the issues raised relating
to Plaintiffs earning capacity and ability to obtain full time employment are
again salient to the determination of a support obligation.
9. Plaintiffs last employment position was a full time position earning
approximately $16.32 per hour with a subsidiary of Gannett Fleming.
10. It is Defendant's belief that Plaintiff voluntarily quit that position for personal
reasons and should therefore be imputed an earning capacity equal to the
last full time position she held with Gannett Fleming's subsidiary.
11. Plaintiffs position has been that the company was sold and there were no
opportunities for her to be assimilated into the parent company, Gannett
Fleming.
12. Plaintiff has also asserted that she is unable to work on a full time basis as a
result of a recommendation written by Dr. Arnold Shienvold following a
custody evaluation.
13. Defendant is entitled to conduct discovery prior to the de novo hearing so that
Defendant may be prepared to address and rebut the assertions of Plaintiff.
. [t .
14. Defendant has no manner in which to obtain personnel records from Gannett
Fleming or depose a corporate designee of Gannett Fleming without formal
discovery.
15. Defendant has no manner in which to depose Dr. Arnold Shienvold without
formal discovery.
16. Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1930.5(b), it is the request of the Defendant that this
matter be deemed complex and is entitled to the opportunity to conduct
discovery pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 4001 et seq.
17. Counsel for Defendant has requested the concurrence of Plaintiffs counsel
and Plaintiff's counsel declined the opportunity to concur.
WHEREFORE, upon the averments contained in this Petition, Petitioner
respectfully requests this Honorable Court to deem this matter a complex support
matter pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1930.5(b) and enter an Order of Court permitting
Plaintiff to conduct discovery pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 4001 et seq.

the exchange of custody. The parties may make arrangements for the Child to travel by train between
the parties' residences (in addition to each parent having the option to return the Child to the other
party's custody by car) so long as train travel does not require the Child to change trains during the
route by himself. In the event a parent intends to return custody of the Child to the other parent by
train travel, that parent shall notify the other parent at least one week in advance of the scheduled train
arrival time at the other parent's locale. In the event the parent later decides to return custody of the
Child by car, that parent shall provide at least one day advance notice to the other parent of the change
in travel arrangements. Both parents shall schedule the return time for the Child to arrive at the other
parent's local train station, if the Child is traveling by train, or at the other parent's residence, if the
Child is traveling by car, by 4:00 p.m.
7. Both parents shall be entitled to have reasonable telephone contact with the Child. The
Father shall be entitled to contact the Child at least every Sunday between 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
The Father shall first try the Child's cell phone and, if he is not able to reach the Child on his cell
phone, may contact the Mother on her cell phone. The Mother shall encourage the Child to participate
fully in maintaining telephone contact with the Father. In the event the Father is unable to reach the
Child on a weekly Sunday telephone call and requests a return call, the Mother shall ensure that the
Child returns the Father's telephone call in a timely manner.
8. The parties shall cooperate in establishing a regular means of communication on a weekly
basis to share information pertaining to the Child by email or in another manner agreed upon between
the parties. The parties shall share all information concerning medical, dental or other appointments
for the Child, all contact information for the Child's physicians or other professionals providing any
type of care for the Child, including telephone numbers, and any and all information pertaining to the
Child's school performance, activities and other developments which would be reasonably expected to
be of interest and importance to the other parent. The parent having primary custody at the time shall
be responsible to initiate the weekly information sharing contact.
9. The parties shall continue to abide by the recommendations of the Child's counselor with
regard to continued counseling while in the custody of either parent.
10. The Father may make arrangements for the Child to participate in counseling during the
Father's periods of custody for the purpose of addressing issues which have arisen or may hereafter
arise in the relationship between the Father and Son.
11. The parties shall communicate directly with each other concerning issues affecting the
Child. Each party shall accept telephone calls from the other party and shall return telephone calls
promptly if requested.
12. The parties shall keep each other informed concerning all developments concerning the
Child. The Mother shall provide the Father with all school contact information necessary to enable the
Father to maintain contact with the Child's teachers and other school personnel.
13. When designating the Child's name on school, medical or any other documentation or for
any other purpose, the parties shall designate the Child's surname as it appears on his birth certificate.
14. The Father's consent to the Mother's relocation of the Child to Connecticut shall be
without prejudice as to any other move by the Mother to a different location, which shall be considered
a separate request for relocation requiring approval of the Court or agreement of the parties.
15. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in advance or pursuant to an Order of Court,
the Father shall not use a plane, other than a commercial aircraft, to pick up the Child for a period of
custody.
16. The Father shall ensure that the Child's summer homework assignments are completed by
the end of his period of summer custody. The Mother shall provide a written list of the Child's
summer homework assignments to the Father promptly upon receipt.
17. Jurisdiction over this custody matter shall remain in this Court.
18. Neither party shall do or say anything which may estrange the Child from the other parent,
injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent, or hamper the free and natural development of the
Child's love and respect for the other parent. Both parties shall ensure that third parties having contact
with the Child comply with this provision.
19. This Order is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties at a custody conciliation
conference. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of
mutual consent, the terms of this Order shall control.

IN CUSTODY
CIVIL ACTION LAW
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
follows: I. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Zachary L. Plitt December 14, 1994 Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on July 26, 2011, with the following individuals
in attendance: the Father, Christopher L. Plitt, with his counsel, Peter J. Russo, Esquire, and the
Mother, Anna J. Traino (who participated by telephone from her residence in Connecticut) with her
counsel, Gary L. Kelley, Esquire.
3. The most recent Order entered by the Court in this matter was dated September 14, 2009
under which the Mother has primary physical custody of the Child during the school year in
Connecticut and the Father has primary physical custody during the summer in Pennsylvania. The
Father filed this Petition for Modification seeking primary physical custody of the Child. The parties
were not able to reach an agreement at the conference and it will be necessary to schedule a hearing on
the Father's Petition.
4. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father's main reason for filing the
Petition for primary custody focuses on an incident which occurred at the end of April 2011 during
which the Child threatened the Mother and the Mother contacted the police. The Child was
handcuffed and taken to the police station before being released. The Connecticut Agency for
Children and Youth became involved and the Child was ultimately placed on probation. The Father is
concerned that while on probation an additional incident such as this one would lead to the Child being
placed in juvenile detention and, if the Child is 17 at the time, he will be treated as an adult in the
Connecticut Court System. The Father believes it would be in the Child's best interests to live with his
Father in Pennsylvania for the remaining two years of high school. The Father expressed concern that
the difficulties between the Mother and her husband, resulting in the Child calling the police, is having
and will continue to have a detrimental impact on the Child. The Father believes that the Mother's
household is a particularly bad environment for the Child at this point in time considering the anger
and other issues that the Child is addressing.
5. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother acknowledges that she
contacted the police in April due to threats made by the Child and a concern for her safety. The
Mother indicated that she handled the situation as recommended by the Child's counselors. The
Mother stressed that the Child does not want to move to Pennsylvania as he has friends, school and
sports all centered in Connecticut now. The Mother believes that the incident in April was a necessary
evil from which the Child learned a lesson and is now learning coping skills through his ongoing
counseling. The Mother indicated that the Child is doing everything that he is supposed to do to get
back on track and she believes that it would be detrimental to him to change his school and
environment.
6. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing in this
matter. It should be noted that there is a school issue involved and the Father has requested that a
hearing be scheduled prior to the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year if possible. The parties
anticipate that there will be at least six witnesses, mainly counselors and mental health professionals
who will be called to testify at the hearing in addition to the parties themselves. Therefore, it is
anticipated that at least a full day may be necessary for the hearing.
