COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
AND COMES NOW, THERESA E. COOK, by and through her attorney, Bradley A.
W'nmick, Esquire, of Wiley, Lenox, Colgan & Marzzaceo, P.C., and files thc instant Complaint for
Custody, and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. The Plaintiffis Theresa E. Cook, who currently resides at 6 Green Circle, Camp Hill,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. The Defendant is Brandon H. Greene, who is believed to be residing at 3207 Vickers
Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21216.
3. The above parties are the natural parents of one minor child: Mikayla H. Greene, date
of birth, June 3, 1998. The child was born out of wedlock.
4. The child is currently in the care and custody of Plaintiff.
5. During the past five years, the child has resided with the following persons and at the
following addresses:
A. 6 Green Circle, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, with Plaintiffand
her boyfriend, Darren Burton, fi.om March 2002 until the present.
B. 2423 North 3rd Street, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, with Plaintiff
and her boyfriend, Darren Burton, fi.om January 2002 until March 2002.
C. 3930 Federal Hill Road, Jarrettsville, Maryland, with Plaintiff, Plaintiffs parents,
Christine and Russell Cook, and PlaintifFs brother, Nathan Cook, from March 1999
until January 2002.
6. The mother of the child is Theresa E. Cook, currently residing at 6 Green Circle,
Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
7. The father of the child is Brandon H. Greene, believed to be residing at 3207 Vickers
Road, Baltimore, Maryland.
8. The relationship of Plaintiff to the child is that of mother. Plaintiff currently resides
with her daughter, Mikayla H. Greene, and her boyfriend, Darren Burton.
9. The relationship of Defendant to the child is that of father. Defendant currently resides
with person or persons unknown.
10. Plalntiffhas no information of a custody proceeding concerning the chad pending in
a court of this Commonwealth.
11. Plalntiffhas participated as a party in other litigation concerning the custody of the
chad in another court. On January 23, 2002, Defendant filed a Petition for Custody in the Circuit
Court of Maryland for Harford County, Maryland, docketed to No. 12~P-99-130. On May 9, 2002,
the parties signed a Parenting Plan in which it was agreed that Plaintiff would have primly physical
custody and Defendant would have partial physical custody on alternating weekends from Friday at
10:00 a.m. until Sunday at 6:00 p.m. This Parenting Plan specifically stated that the agreement
contained therein was neither binding nor enforceable until submitted for Court approval and entered
as an Order of Court. Upon reasonable investigation, it appears that the Parenting Plan was never
entered as an Order of Court.
12. Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical
custody of the chad or who claims to have custody or visitation fights with respect to the chad.
13. The hest interest and permanent welfare ofthe child will he served by granting Plaintiff
p~'m~y physical custody of the child and limiting Defendant's periods of partial physical custody so
the child does not spend overnights with him. Plaintiff submits the following in support of this
request for relief:
a) Plaintiffhas concerns regarding Defendant's unknown living environment.
b) Plaintiff has learned that on January 17, 2003, the Circuit Court for Baltimore
County, Maryland granted Defendant's estranged wife an Order for Protection from Domestic
Violence.
c) The child is expressing extreme fear when presented with the prospect of having
to spend time with her father. This circumstance, in conjunction with the recent question of domestic
violence, gives Plaintiff extreme concern for her daughter's safety.
14. Each parent whose parental rights to the child has not been terminated and the person
who has physical custody of the child has been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests This Honorable Court to award her primary
physical custody of the minor child with partial physical custody to Defendant.
Respectfully submitted,
