9. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting the
relief requested for reasons including, but not limited to the following:
a) The father can provide for the child's emotional, physical, educational, and

d. Require the defendant to keep the plaintiff advised of her current address and
telephone number.
12. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not been terminated and the
person who has physical custody of the child have been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff requests this Court to grant him primary physical and legal
custody of the child. Plaintiff further requests any other relief that is just and proper.

resides at an unknown address in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
3. The above-named Petitioner is the biological father of Julius Guern Fealtman, bom
October 20, 2003. The above-named Respondent is the natural mother of Julius Guem
Fealtman.
4. The father and mother resided together until immediately before the child was bom. The
father and mother agreed that the mother would live with her parents until the father was
able to renovate their home to set up a room for the child when it was bom. When the
child was bom, the mother never returned to the home that she and the father shared.
5. The mother lived with her parents at 2 Wheatfield Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania from the
time the child was born until March 2004. Beginning in December 2003, the mother
arbitrarily decreased the father's time with the child and since late January 2004, the
mother has completely refused to allow the father to see the child.
6. In March 2004, the mother moved into an unknown address with her new boyfriend in
Camp Hill. Although she called the father to let him know that she had moved, she
refused to provide a current address and continues to refuse the father to have any contact
with the child.
7. The mother is not acting in the child's best interest for reasons including, but not limited
to, the following:
a. The mother has refused to allow the father to see the child, making it impossible
for him to develop a healthy father/son relationship with the child.
b. The mother is now living with her new boyfriend, Christopher Beels (hereinafter
Beels). From a prior friendship with Beels, the father is familiar with Beels'
involvement with drug use and has first hand knowledge that Beels carries a
loaded, concealed 9MM gun. This is not a safe environment for an infant.
c. The mother received a traffic citation for speeding on December 9, 2003. The
defendant has not paid the fine and failed to appear for the hearing on the matter.
Subsequently, them is an active warrant for the defendant and she is driving on a
suspended driver's license. (See Exhibit A attached herein). This is not a safe
situation for the transportation of an infant child.
d. The mother has refused to provide the father with her new address and continues
to refuse to allow the father any visits with the child.
e. The father fears that without a custody order in place, the mother will continue to
place the infant child in an unhealthy and unsafe enviromnent.
8. The father is the parent who can best provide for the child for reasons including, but not
limited to, the following:
a. The father can provide for the child's emotional, physical, educational and
medical needs, including establishing a stable home environment for the child.
b. The father lives with the child's paternal grandfather who can contribute to the
well being of the child and provide a healthy environment in which to raise a
child.
c. The father has all of the necessary items needed to care for an infant, including,
but not limited to, a crib/bassinet, changing table, high chair, car seat, clothes,
diapers, bottles and formula.
d. The father is the parent most capable of facilitating interaction between the child
and the non-custodial parent.
e. The father has a valid driver's license and appropriate child seating needed to
safely transport the child.
9. The father requests that the Court grant primary physical custody of the child to him with
periods of partial custody to the mother, until a custody conciliation can be scheduled.
10. Without this Court's intervention, the father and child are at risk of irreparable harm by
being denied contact with each other.
1 i. It is unknown whether the mother has legal counsel and because of her failure to provide
any contact information, father's counsel cannot attempt to contact her/him to seek
concurrence for the relief requested.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests the following:
a. The parties are granted shared legal custody of the child.
b. The father is granted primary physical custody until the parties are able to attend a
custody conciliation.
c. The mother is granted periods of partial custody on alternating weekends from
6:00 p.m. on Fridays until 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. These periods of partial custody
are contingent on the mother providing the father with a current address and
telephone number.
d. The defendant is prohibited from removing the child from Pennsylvania.
e. Petitioner also requests any other relief this court deems just and proper.
