concerns over the condition of Father's residence while her daughter was in his
custody, as well as the lifestyle he was maintaining.
6. On Thursday evening, February 5, 2009, at approximately 8:00 p.m., as she was
arriving to retrieve Isabella, Plaintiff noticed a marijuana plant in Defendant's bedroom.
His door was open and the plant was in plain view. Defendant slammed the door shut,
as Plaintiff asked him about the plant.
7. Plaintiff promptly telephoned the Camp Hill Police Department, who arrived by
8:45 p.m. and found potting soil on the floor and suspected manufacturing of
marijuana. Although a search warrant could be obtained, they explained to Plaintiff
that they did not have the manpower to execute the warrant and that Defendant
remained under investigation.
8. In addition, the condition of Isabella's room was appalling. There was a mattress
on the floor with no sheets, with no bed in her room. Diapers were scattered over the
floor.
9. When Plaintiff arrives for the custody exchange, her daughter often is dirty and
unkept. Defendant demands that Plaintiff remit a portion of the child support in order
for him to feed his daughter.
10. Plaintiff has since learned that Defendant has been taking their daughter
outside Pennsylvania to music fests where individuals take illegal drugs in her
presence.
11. Plaintiff believes that her daughter is not safe in the custody of her Father, who
neglects her in favor of an alternate lifestyle. She is kept in a dirty environment during
Father's periods of partial physical custody and not properly fed.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Anna K. Slobodian requests that the Court modify the
existing Custody Order by restricting Defendant father's periods of physical custody
to supervised visitation by an established social service agency.

Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. NO. 08-4597 CIVIL TERM
LUCAS SLOBODIAN IN CUSTODY
Defendant
DEFENDANT'S ANSWER & COUNTERCLAIM
TO PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION FOR
EMERGENCY OR SPECL4L RELIEF
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Lucas Slobodian, by and through his attorney
Charles Rector, Esquire, and files the following Answer & Counterclaim to Plaintiff's
Application for Emergency or Special Relief:
Answer
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted. By way of further answer, the Custody Order contained various
provisions to guarantee the safety of the minor child while in Mother's physical custody.
5. Denied. Paragraph 5 constitutes a legal conclusion which requires no
answer and is deemed denied. To the extent that any further answer is required, the
agreement of the parties entered as an Order of Court on December 4, 2008, is part of a
standard Cumberland County Order and addresses the concerns of both parties.
6. Admitted in part and Denied in part. It is admitted that Plaintiff arrived to
pick up the parties' minor child, Isabella, at 8:00 pm on Thursday, February 5, 2009. It is
denied that Defendant was in possession of a marijuana plant and proof thereof is
demanded and the same is deemed denied. By way of further answer, the potted soil
contained weeds from the yard and Defendant intended to use these materials and a
compact fluorescent bulb to grow seeds as an educational project for the minor child. See
Exhibit "A," photo attached.
7. Admitted. By way of further answer, Defendant consented to a search by
the Camp Hill Police of the potted plant. The alleged "grow lamp" is in fact an energy
efficient reading lamp which was looked at by the Police. The Police also looked, inter
alia, at the potted plant, alleged by Plaintiff to be marijuana, and left the plant and the
home and have never returned. The weeds from the yard have not been designated by the
Pennsylvania legislature as "controlled substances."
8. Denied. The averments of Paragraph 8 are specifically denied and proof
thereof is demanded. Isabella's room is clean and Isabella sleeps on a twin size mattress
currently positioned on the floor so that she does not injure herself by rolling off a high
bed. By way of further answer, Isabella's paternal grandparents are at the house often
and can attest to its' cleanliness.
9. Denied. The averments of Paragraph 9 are denied and proof thereof is
demanded. By way of further answer, Isabella, while in Defendant's custody, bathes
often, brushes her teeth daily and washes her hands throughout the day.
10. Denied. The averments of Paragraph 10 are denied and proof thereof is
demanded. By way of further answer, Defendant has never taken the minor child out of
state to a concert or music fest and proof thereof is demanded and the same is deemed
denied.
11. Denied. The averments of Paragraph 11 are specifically denied and proof
thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, these averments are demonstrably false
and Plaintiff has a history of lying and engaging in gross exaggerations and otherwise
aberrant behavior including irrational thought, previous suicide attempts, and physical
violence towards Defendant, all of which behavior resulted in the parties separation.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that Plaintiff's Application for
Emergency or Special Relief be denied with prejudice.
Counterclaim - Contemn
12. Paragraphs 1 through 11 are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth in full.
13. On February 9, 2009, Plaintiff filed an Application for Emergency or
Special Relief.
14. No Interim Order has been entered by the Court and the Order of Custody
of December 4, 2008, remains in full force and effect.
15. Plaintiff, in violation of the Order of December 4, 2008, has unilaterally
refused to permit Defendant to have any contact with his daughter, and in fact, has
obstructed all contact between Father and Daughter for the preceding two (2) weeks prior
to the filing of this Pleading. Defendant, at present, is unsure of the minor child's
whereabouts.
16. Plaintiff's obstructive conduct constitutes contempt of the Custody Order
dated December 4, 2008.
17. Defendant has retained counsel to represent his interests in attempting to
enforce the current Order of Custody.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests Your Honorable Court to
adjudge Plaintiff in Contempt of Court, to Order Plaintiff to pay Defendant's attorneys
fees, and for such other relief as the Court deems just and appropriate.
Counterclaim - Primary Physical Custody
18. Paragraphs 1 through 17 are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth in full.
19. Plaintiff s continued failure and refusal to comply with the Custody Order
of December 4, 2008, constitutes contemptuous behavior and obstruction of Defendant's
rights of custody pursuant to said Order.
20. Plaintiff s obstructive conduct constitutes sufficient grounds upon which
to grant Defendant primary physical custody.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests Your Honorable Court to grant
him primary physical custody of the parties' minor child.

V No. 08-4597 CIVIL ACTION LAW
LUCAS SLOBODIAN, : IN CUSTODY
Defendant
PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO DEFENDANT'S COUNTERCLAIM
AND NOW, comes Anna K. Slobodian, Plaintiff in the captioned action, by her counsel,
John M. Kerr, Esquire, and files the within Answer To Defendant's Counterclaim, the nature of
which is as follows:
Counterclaim - Contempt
12. No answer required.
13. ADMITTED.
14. ADMITTED. It is admitted that no interim Order has been entered by the Court.
15. DENIED. Plaintiff has acted to protect the safety and security of her daughter. It

Fttom: 717.788.4008
Fnx: 717.766.4066
was Defendant's actions which made this necessary and precipitated the present court action,
in that he violated paragraph 11 of the Order of December 4, 2008, by failing to "ensure that
the Child has safe and secure living accommodations when the Child is in their care." In fact, as
described by Officer Lane Pryor of the Camp Hill Police Department in the comments to the
Dispatch Incident Report, for February 5, 2009, "[f]rom all the information obtained and
actions/behavior of Lucas [Slobodian] it is apparent that Lucas [Slobodian]is involved in drug
activity." This took place during Defendant's period of partial physical custody. If Plaintiff failed
to take action, she would be subject to possible adverse action by Cumberland County Children
& Youth Services. When Defendant proposed growing marijuana while they were still together,
Plaintiff explained this simple fact to him. By way of further answer, Defendant knew precisely
where his daughter was during this time period and never attempted to make telephone
contact with her, which certainly would not have been denied. In fact, in an e-mail message,
dated February 22, 2009, Plaintiff chided him for "taking a vacation as a father". it was
Defendant who was ill and could not exercise his custody rights originally (February 9, 2009)
and who made no further efforts to see his daughter.
16. DENIED. The allegation at paragraph 16 of the Defendant's Counterclaim represents
a conclusion of law to which no response is required under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure.
17. DENIED. Plaintiff lacks sufficient information to form a belief as to the truth of the
averment at paragraph 17 of Defendant's Counterclaim. Defendant was represented by Harold
S. Irwin, 111, Esquire at the initial Conciliation and to Plaintiff's knowledge, this individual has
never withdrawn his representation.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that the Court enter an Order finding that Defendant's
drug activity constitutes a violation of the Order entered December 4, 2008.
Counterclaim - Primary Physical Custody
18. No answer required.
19. DENIED. The allegation contained at paragraph 19 of Defendant's Counterclaim

represents a conclusion of law to which no response is required under the Pennsylvania Rules
of Civil Procedure.
20. DENIED. The allegation contained at paragraph 20 of Defendant's Counterclaim
represents a conclusion of law to which no response is required under the Pennsylvania Rules
of Civil Procedure. By way of further answer, Defendant's aberrant lifestyle precludes him from
exercising primary physical custody and, indeed, he is incapable of taking care of his daughter.
Her well-being and safety requires that any periods of partial custody be only as supervised by
a mature individual who will protect Isabella in the event that Defendant will not.

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT

1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
The pertinent information pertaining to the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
Name Date of Birth
Isabella Slobodian 08/23/2006
Currently in the Custody of
Primary Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held with regard to this matter on September 05, 2008, an
Order was issued December 04, 2008 and a conciliation conference was held March 04, 2009
with the following individuals in attendance:
The Mother, Anna K. Slobodian, with her counsel, John Kerr, Esq.
The Father, Lucas Slobodian, with his counsel, Charles Rector, Esq.
3. Mother's position on physical custody is as follows: Mother alleges that Father may be
involved in illicit drug activity. Mother alleges that Father does not properly care for Isabella
when she is in his care. Mother asserts that she has observed an unkempt and dirty residence
when she comes to pick up Isabella. Mother asserts that Father does not have adequate food for
Isabella when she is in his care. Mother at this point does not believe that any overnights are
appropriate for Isabella with Father.
4. Father's position on physical custody is as follows: Father asserts that Mother is in contempt of
the prior Order by withholding Isabella from him and denying him contact. Father asserts that
Mother's allegation of "drug activity" is false. Father asserts that Mother is controlling and that
he offers Isabella a safe and loving environment. Father indicates that his residence is clean
and appropriate for Isabella. Father asserts that he does have adequate food and sleeping
arrangements for Isabella. Father would like the status quo from the former order to resume.
Father would also like to have make up time for the time that Mother has denied him physical
custody.
5. Both parents have agreed to participate in parenting classes and both have agreed to submit to
follicle drug tests upon the request of the other parent.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a Hearing and
entering an Order of Court regarding custody as outlined. It is the Conciliator's belief that this
would be in the Children's best interest. It is expected that the Hearing will require one half
day.
