Prior Judge: The Honorable Edgar B. Bayley
CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
I . The pertinent information pertaining to the child who is the subject of this litigation
is as follows:
Coleton D. Morrison, born January 16, 2006
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on October 10, 2008, with the following
individuals in attendance:
the father, Scott D. Morrison, with his counsel, Michael O. Palmero, Jr.,
Esquire, and the mother, Tawyna Lynn Jumper, with her counsel, student
attorney Rebecca Faulkner from the Dickinson School of Law Family Law
Clinic.
3. The parties were living together during the child's entire life until this past July when
the Mother left the home, and there being a dispute as to whether she voluntarily left
or was asked to leave. Mother has seen the child sporadically since that time and
suggests that it is because Father would not allow her to see the child. Father
suggests Mother has a drug addiction and that prompted the separation and prompts
his concern at this point for the welfare of the child if the child is with the Mother.
4. From the information the Conciliator obtained at the conference, it is clear that the
Mother has provided for the child in the past. Additionally, this past August there
was a hearing before Judge Bayley, and Judge Bayley awarded another child to the
Mother for primary custody. Accordingly, the Conciliator does not see any concrete
information based upon the limited Conciliation Conference that would merit
supervised visitation. However, the status quo since July has been the Father having
primary custody of the minor child and the Conciliator believes that should continue
pending a full hearing. The Conciliator's recommendation on this issue is not based
upon any feeling as to which parent should have primary custody and that decision
should be made by a Judge after hearing sworn testimony.
The Father works during the day and the minor child has been taken care of by the
Father's Mother and live-in girlfriend. However, the Mother is available to provide
care during the day and she is also available on some weekends.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached.

V. .
No. 08 - 5288 CIVIL TERM
TAWNYA LYNN JUMPER, : President Judge Bayley
Defendant : IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
NOW COMES, Petitioner, Scott Morrison, by and through his counsel, Michael O. Palermo,
Jr., Esquire and in support of his Petition for Special Relief avers as follows:
1. Your Petitioner is Scott D. Morrison (hereinafter referenced as "Father"), who
resides at 400 Mountain Road, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
2. Respondent in this matter is Tawnya Lynn Jumper (hereinafter referenced as
"Mother"), who resides at 111 Broad Street, Newville, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
3. Father and Mother are the natural parents of the child at issue: Coleton D.
Morrison, born January 16, 2006.
4. Father and Mother parted company in or around July 2oo8, because of
suspected drug abuse by Mother. Since that time, the Child has resided primarily
with Father.
5. Mother has admitted to abusing narcotics and is allegedly attending
rehabilitation at Roxbury Treatment Center in Shippensburg. Before mother was
enrolled in the treatment center, Petitioner asserts that on two (2) separate
occasion's mother disappeared for several days, presumably on a drug binge. It is
alleged that on these occasions, the minor child was with Mother and to which
Father went out and searched for his child on Pitt Street in Carlisle.
6. Father believes and therefore avers that even though mother is
supposedly in treatment for her drug addiction, the minor child should not be in
her care on an overnight basis and her custodial periods in general should not be
exercised without some form of supervision as a result of her continuing
addiction.
7. Moreover and the catalyst for the relief sought herein, occurred as recently
as November 8, 2008, when Mother again went missing without any notice to
Father or her grandfather, Paul Gutshall, Sr., with whom she resides.
8. Father/Petitioner was contacted by Mother's paramour, Rance
Brownawell, who stated that Mother's two children, including the child at issue
herein, were with him and as he was unaware of Mother's whereabouts, asked
Father to pick up both children. To which, Father gladly complied.
9. It appears that over the weekend of November 8, 2oo8, Mother was
allegedly hospitalized twice and in addition to having had her car stolen while in
Harrisburg'.
10. Father avers that in the past when Mother went missing without notice,
her addiction to narcotics was undoubtedly the motivation behind her sudden
disappearance.
ii. Undersigned Counsel has been in contact with Ann Fox-McDonald,
' Father notes that it has become common for those addicted to narcotics to lend out their automobile in exchange
for drugs. Although father cannot produce direct proof of this allegation, assuming mother were subject to cross-
examination, father's counsel would inquire further into the "theft" of mother's vehicle.
Esquire and Rebecca Faulkner, Certified Legal Intern who are counsel for
Mother.
12. Mother's counsel agreed that the Order entered by the Conciliator could be
amended to suspend Mother's weekday visitation with the child due to the loss of
her car. Said agreement was memorialized in an Order that also continued the
trial date. 2 The Order, signed by P.J. Bayley is attached hereto as "Petitioner's
Exhibit B."
13. Respondent/her respective counsel will not agree to suspend Mother's
overnight visitation.
14. Father believes that pending a custody trial or hearing on this matter, the
best interests of the child dictate that he should exercise primary physical custody
with visitation in mother, supervised by the her mother or her grandfather, Mr.
Gutshall.
15. Pursuant to Cumberland County Local Rule 2o8.3(a)(2) the Honorable
President Judge Bayley signed the custody order in this matter on or about
October 14, 20o8. Attached hereto as "Petitioner's Exhibit A."
i6. In compliance with Cumberland County Local Rule 2o8.g(a)(9) counsel
for Mother has not voiced their concurrence and given the prior discussions and
the relief sought herein it is reasonable to assume they are opposed to Petitioner's
prayer for relief.
2 It is noted that a hearing on this matter was scheduled for November 19, 2008, however, Undersigned counsel was
informed that Mother's father was "near death" and that she would be unavailable for the hearing. On that averment
and that averment only was concurrence for the continuance given.
WHEREFORE, Your Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court, issue a
temporary order suspending Mother's overnight custody and further direct that she not exercise
her custody out of the presence of her Mother or Grandfather pending a hearing on this matter or
such other Orders as the Court deems necessary.

CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 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:
Coleton D. Morrison, born January 16, 2006
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on October 10, 2008, with the following
individuals in attendance:
the father, Scott D. Morrison, with his counsel, Michael O. Palmero, Jr.,
Esquire, and the mother, Tawyna Lynn Jumper, with her counsel, student
attorney Rebecca Faulkner from the Dickinson School of I.aw Family I_aw
Clinic.
3. The parties were living together during the child's entire life until this past July when
the Mother left the home, and there being a dispute as to whether she voluntarily left
or was asked to leave. Mother has seen the child sporadically since that time and
suggests that it is because Father would not allow- her to see the child. Father
suggests Mother has a drug addiction and that prompted the separation and prompts
his concern at this point for the welfare of the child if the child is with the Mother.
4. From the information the Conciliator obtained at the conference, it is clear that the
;Mother has provided for the child in the past. :'Additionally, this past Aut",ust there
was a hearing before .fudge Bayley, and Judge Bayley awarded another child to the
Mother for primary custody. Accordingly, the Conciliator does not see any concrete
information based upon the limited Conciliation Conference that ?WLJld merit
supervised visitation. I lowever, the status quo since July has been the Father haying
primary custody of the minor child and the Conciliator believes that should continue
pending a full hearing. ]'lie Conciliator's recommendation on this issue is not based
upon am IeChrig as to \\hich parent should hayc primary custody and that decision

PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY ORDER
ra
N
1. The petition of Tawnya Jumper, hereinafter Mother, by her attorneys, the Community Law'
Clinic,respectfully represents that on January 20, 2009 an Order of Court was entered for
custody of Coleton Morrison,hereinafter Child,born January 16, 2006, a true and correct
copy of which is attached. Under the existing Order, Mr. Scott Morrison, hereinafter
Father has primary physical custody of the child. Mother is to have partial custody of the
child on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 7:OOPM-8:30PM and every other
weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but no overnights.
2. This Order should be modified because:
a. It no longer reflects the status quo.
b. At the time the order was entered, Mother was struggling with drug addiction and
was unable to exercise her custodial rights or fulfill her obligations under the order.
c. Mother went into a drug rehabilitation program in September 2011 and completed
the program in June 2012. She has been sober since September 2011.
d. Since completing the rehabilitation program, Mother has reached out to Father in
