COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
1. Plaintiff is Lesa A. Barwick, who resides at 236 Henderson St., Carlisle, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant is Thomas A. Barwick, Jr., who resides at Building 9 Unit 35, North Slope
Run, Hollow Rd., Shawnee on Delaware, Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
3. Plaintiff seeks Physical Custody of the following Child:
Name: Present Residence: DOB: Age:
Amanda Paige Barwick 236 Henderson St., Carlisle, PA 17013 2/16/99 9
The Child was not born out of wedlock.
The Child is presently in the custody of Lesa A. Barwick, her Mother, and she has been in her
Mother's custody for her entire life.
During the past five years, the Child has resided with the following persons and at the following
addresses:
Name: Address: Dates:
Lesa A. Barwick and 236 Henderson St. 2003-November 2007
Thomas A. Barwick, Jr. Carlisle, PA 17013
Name: Address: Dates:
Lesa A. Barwick 236 Henderson St. November 2007 to Present
Carlisle, PA 17013
4. The Mother of the Child, Lesa A. Barwick, is currently residing at 236 Henderson St.,
Carlisle, PA 17013.
The Father of the Child is Thomas A. Barwick, Jr., and is currently residing at Building 9 Unit 35, North
Slope Run, Hollow Rd., Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania 18356.
The relationship of Plaintiff to the Child is that of natural Mother. The Plaintiff currently
resides with the Child at the above residence.
6. The relationship of Defendant to the Child is that of Natural Father. The Father lived
with the Child and the Mother until he left in November 2007.
7. Neither Plaintiff nor Defendant has participated as a party or witness, or in any other
capacity, in other litigation concerning the custody of the Child in this or any other court.
8. Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the Child pending in a
court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
9. Plaintiff knows of no person other than the Child's Father, Defendant herein, who has or
claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the Child.
10. The best interest and permanent welfare of the Child will be served by granting the relief
requested due to the fact that the Child is happy and safe in the stable environment where she currently
is living and has lived for her entire life. The Child has a strong bond and relationship with her Mother
and her Mother's family and it is in her best interest and permanent welfare to remain in the
primary legal and physical custody of her Mother. It would also be in the Child's best interest to
continue to receive visits for several hours from her Father every other weekend as she has done since
the time that he left Plaintiff and Child in November 2007. Plaintiff is requesting that a temporary
Emergency Custody Order be granted due to Defendant constantly threatening to take the Child from
Plaintiff and bring her to his own residence permanently, a place that is unknown to her and does not
have the structure and stability that the Child has had for the past nine years.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to grant her primary legal and physical
custody of the Child, Amanda Paige Barwick, and to grant partial physical custody to Defendant in the
form of visits to take place for several hours per visit every other weekend in or around the Child's
residence.
