IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA
CASE NO. 08-5242
IN CUSTODY
MOTION TO MODIFY CUSTODY AND MOTION FOR CONTEMPT OF
COURT ORDER
AND NOW, comes Defendant Rebecca Neumann, by and through her
attorney, Sheri D. Coover, Esquire, and files the following DEFENDANT'S
MOTION TO MODIFY CUSTODY AND MOTION FOR CONTEMPT OF
COURT ORDER and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. On or around October 21, 2008, this Court issued an Order which
granted Rebecca S. B. Neumann (hereinafter referred to as "Mother") primary
physical custody of the minor children Elizabeth Haley Neumann (DOB 3/10/99)
and Logan Grier Neumann (DOB 10/21/00) and granted Merick Lorin Neumann
70-00 Pd .a4
y? `i°
SS 7 50
(hereinafter referred to as "Father") periods of temporary physical custody on
alternating weekends from Friday at 6:00 p.m. until Sunday at 6:00 p.m. (a true
and correct copy of the October 21, 2008 Custody Order is hereby attached to this
MOTION).
2. The parties were to share legal custody of the minor children
according to the Court Order.
3. During Father's period of custody that he exercised on the weekend of
February 11, 2011, Elizabeth became very ill.
4. Elizabeth told Father that she was feeling ill, but Father refused to pay
attention to her and refused to get her medicine.
5. After three hours of begging Father to get her medicine with no
success, Elizabeth called Mother and asked Mother if she would come to pick her
up.
6. Mother informed Elizabeth that it was Father's period of custody with
her, but that Mother would attempt to discuss the situation with Father to see if
there were any options available that Father would be agreeable to.
7. Mother tried to call Father three times and sent him two text
messages, but Father did not respond to Mother's calls or text messages.
8. Later that day, Elizabeth contacted Mother again because she was still
feeling ill, was not getting any care from Father and wanted for Mother to pick her
up.
9. At that time, Elizabeth put Mother on speaker phone so that Mother
could speak to Father.
10. Father became irate at Elizabeth's request to be returned to Mother's
care and yelled at Mother (who was on speaker phone), Logan and Elizabeth that
he would return the children in thirty minutes, that he would no longer give them
lunch money, help with fundraisers, go to any sporting events that they are
involved in and that the only thing that he wanted to do with any of them was the
$53.00 per week that he paid in child support.
11. Mother further asserts that it is appropriate to modify the custody
Order for the following reasons:
a. Father refuses to take medicine for his bipolar and OCD, which causes
him to treat the children in a negative manner;
b. Father has had his own apartment for six months which he has refused
to clean and now has dried urine on the floor of the bathroom;
c. Father refuses to prepare food for the children while they are in his
custody and makes the children prepare their own food if they are
hungry;
d. Elizabeth expresses that she is ignored by Father while she is in his
care and she does not want to go on further visitations with Father;
e. Father refuses to take care of the children when they are sick and
refuses to make an effort to get the children medicine when necessary;
f. Father does not properly supervise the children while they are in his
care and allows the children to stay up very late;
g. Father makes promises to the children to take them to their extra-
curricular activities, but will refuse to take them at the last minute;
h. Father refuses to help the children do any of their school work or
work on their school projects during his periods of custody;
i. Father does not show up on time for custody exchanges and at times
refuses to take both of the children during his periods of custody.
12. Father refuses to effectively communicate with Mother on issues
concerning the children, including what time, when and for how long he intends to
exercise his periods of custody on his custodial weekends and makes custody
arrangements through the children.
13. On or around February 6, 2011, while in Father's custody, Logan had
an important activity with the Cub Scouts in the early morning.
14. It was very important to Logan to attend the activity because it was
being held at the church which paid for Logan to attend camp the previous summer
and a group picture with the Cub Scouts was scheduled to be taken at the event.
15. Since Logan was in Father's custody at the time, it was planned that
Father was to provide Logan transportation to the event.
16. On the morning of the activity, Father decided that he did not feel like
taking Logan to his Cub Scout activity, so Logan missed the event and was not
included in the group picture which was taken.
17. Father plays mind games with the children and will withhold and
refuse to return the children's property (such as Logan's computer). Father refuses
to return the children's property for his own personal reasons and not as
punishment to the children for bad behavior.
18. Father calls to speak to the children every night, but he often does so
after 10:00 p.m. at night despite the fact that Mother has repeatedly requested that
all calls be prior to 9:30 p.m. so that the children can get to bed.
19. The Honorable Judge Guido was previously assigned to this case.
MOTION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
20. Mother incorporates paragraphs 1 through 19 above as contained in
their entirety.
21. Mother believes that due to Father's untreated medical condition and
his failure to properly care for the children during his periods of custody, that it is
in the best interest of the children for Father's periods of custody of the children to
be limited to times that he can be supervised with the children or at times as the
parties otherwise mutually agree.
22. Mother believes that it is in the best interest of the children to modify
the current custody Order as she requests.
WHEREFORE, Mother requests that Father modify the current Custody
Order to grant her primary physical custody of the minor children and to grant
Father supervised periods of partial custody as the parties mutually agree.
MOTION FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT ORDER
23. Mother incorporates paragraphs 1 through 22 above as contained in
their entirety.
24. According to the current custody Order, Mother and Father are to
have shared legal custody of the minor children.
25. Father refuses to communicate with Mother above issues regarding
the children's education, medical treatment and the children's extra-curricular
activities.
26. Since the date of the original custody Order, Father fails to meet
Mother at the times designated for the custody exchange in the Current Order and
will change plans on Mother at the last minute which allows Mother no time to
properly plan for the children.
WHEREFORE, Mother respectfully requests that this Court:
a. Find Father in contempt of the current custody Order;
b. Assess Father a $500.00 penalty for contempt of the Court's Custody
Order pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. § 4346;
c. Mother's Petition for Contempt of Court Order should be addressed at a
hearing before the Court;
d. Other relief as this Court deems to be just and proper.

3. There are a number of issues swirling around the parties including a potential
relocation by the Mother. Accordingly, the Conciliator believes that the existing

legal counsel for the parties should have a conference call with the Conciliator at
some point in June for purposes of updating the case to determine the status of the
Mother's relocation. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached.
