I. BRIEF SUMMARY OF CASE, INCLUDING NAMES AND DATES OF BIRTH
OF CHILD AT ISSUE AND THE CURRENT CUSTODY SITUATION:
The Defendant is Jason D. Grob ("Father"), who currently resides at 7 Scarsdale Drive,
Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011. The Plaintiff is Kelly M. Grob
("Mother"), who currently resides at 706 Erford Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania. Defendant seeks to maintain primary physical custody of the following children:
Masiella M. Grob, born in March of 2005 and Anthony J. Grob, born in June of 2007.
Since approximately the fall of 2008, Father has had primary physical custody of the
minor children. The Parties entered into their first Custody Order which was signed by the
Honorable Wesley Oler, Jr. on December 17, 2008. The December 17, 2008 Custody Order was
meant to be temporary in nature, however, the parties did not go back to Conciliation to modify
the Order as they were originally supposed to do. In June of 2009, without notice, Mother
disappeared from the children's lives and did not have contact with the children again until
approximately November of 2009.
Q
On December 4, 2009, upon Mother's return to Pennsylvania, Father filed a Petition to
Modify Custody. The Parties appeared at two (2) Conciliation Conferences and on April 21,
2010, the Parties entered into their current Custody Order. Per this Custody Order, the children
are presently in the physical custody of Defendant. The full schedule is as follows:
• Father has primary physical custody.
• Mother has custody on alternating weekends from Friday at 9:00 a.m. through
Sunday at 8:30 p.m.
• Mother has custody every Tuesday evening from when Mother gets off work
through Wednesday at 8:00 p.m.
II. STATEMENT OF ISSUES EXPECTED TO ARISE DURING TRIAL:
Whether the best interests of the children would be served by Father maintaining primary
physical custody of the children?
Suggested Answer: Yes
Whether the children should attend Father's school district since Father has maintained primary
physical custody of the children since 2008?
Suggested Answer: Yes
III. FATHER'S POSITION ON CUSTODY:
Father is seeking to maintain primary physical custody and shared legal custody of the
minor children. It is believed and therefore averred that Father can provide a stable, healthy and
supportive environment for the children. Moreover, Father has a support system of friends and
family, including his parents, who can help to provide for the economic needs, as well as the
educational needs of the children.
Since approximately the fall of 2008, Father has had primary physical custody of the
minor children. In June of 2009, without notice, Mother disappeared from the children's lives
and did not have contact with the children again until approximately November of 2009. At the
time of the Conciliation Conference, Mother gave no good reasons as to why she had no contact
with Father and/or the minor children for a period of approximately six (6) months.
Father and children have resided at the same residence since the Parties' separation in the
fall of 2008. The home in which Father and the children live has ample space. Additionally,
Father's family, specifically his grandmother, has provided daycare for the children since prior to
the Parties' separation in 2008. The minor children benefit from having grandparents and a great
grandmother nearby to offer assistance and a nurturing extended family environment. Father can
continue to offer a stable home life for the children, and will be remaining in the same school
system throughout their years in school. Moreover, Father has the support system of family and
friends that can help in the upbringing of the children.
Father has concerns regarding the care for the children while residing with Mother. It is
believed that Mother still lives in a home with her Mother, her sister, her sister's child and
perhaps other individuals. The home is cramped and does not meet the needs of the children.
Mother has moved in and out of this home several times since the parties' separation. At the time
of trial, Father will be able to testify to different incidents which would support the fact that the
best interests of the children will be served by Father having primary physical custody.
IV. POTENTIAL WITNESSES TO BE CALLED:
1. Jason D. Grob -Will testify to his relationship with the children; why he should
remain the primary custodian; and to his home environment.
2. Lisa Grob (31 Woburn Abbey Avenue, Cama Hill. Pennsvlvania) -Will
testify to Father's relationship with the children, the circumstances of their day to day home life
and the role Father has played in caring for the children.
3. Pat Shuey (846 Brian Drive, Enola. Pennsvlvania) -Will testify to Father's
relationship with the children, Father's work habits, Father's day to day home life, and the role
Father has played in caring for the children.
4. Tannis Dunn (106 Park Place, Cama Hill, Pennsvlvania) -Will testify to
Father's relationship with the children, Father's work habits, Father's day to day home life, and
the role Father has played in caring for the children.
5. Jim Poole (Stony Run Way, York. Pennsvlvania) -Will testify to Father's

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Plaintiff
v. CIVIL ACTION: CUSTODY
JASON D.GROB,
Defendant No. 2008 - 5654 -CIVIL TERM
PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM
BEFORE THE HONORABLE J. WESLEY OLER, JR.
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Kelly Grob, by and through her attorney,
Philip M. Intrieri, Esq., who files this Pre-Trial Memorandum in the instant custody
dispute regarding children Masiella, age 5, and Anthony, age 3, such matter to
be heard August 2, 2010, before This Honorable Court. The main issue in this
case is who shall have primary physical custody of the children, and,
concurrently, which school they would attend.
r
I: CUSTODY HISTORY
1. 12/17/08, Temporary Order: After dividing time leading up to the
holiday season, generally 50/50 custody, with mother having 3 days per week,
and father having 4.
2. 1/22/09, Father commits vicious assault on mother, in mother's
backyard. Father chokes mother into unconsciousness. Charged with simple
assault, terroristic threats, harassment, and trespassing. Currently on ARD.
3. 2/13/09, PFA order awarded to mother, continues in effect until
2/13/12.
4. 8/31/09, Mother visits Florida without the children to establish a
new life for herseff and her children, far away from father. Upon her retum on
9/8/09, father and family refuse her access to the children until Thanksgiving,
then bar her any further access until further visits are enforced through the
intervention of the Conciliator during the holiday season. Mother no longer plans
to relocate.
5. 12/4/09, Father Petition to Modify Custody, requesting sole legal
and physical custody.
6. 1 /13/10, Temporary Order. Father granted primary physical
custody, over mother's vigorous objection. Mother receives every other
weekend, and a day visit each Wednesday. Mother moves for trial.
7. 4/21/10, Temporary Order: Mother's time increases one additional
Wednesday ovemight per week. Father refuses even to allow the children to
stay ovemight on Thursday, forcing mother to return them Thursday before
bedtime. Trial set.
II: MOTHER'S CURRENT POSITION
Mother is requesting primary physical custody, with father receiving
alternating weekends, and a standard holiday schedule. Father has turned away
an offer for 50/50 custody, in order to avoid trial. This offer is now withdrawn.
2.
III: ISSUES PRESENTED
The primary issue in a custody matter is what outcome is in the best
interests of the children. Our appellate courts have conceived a four part review
of the following factors to assist in making this decision: Character and fitness,
type of home, ability to provide adequate care for the children, and ability to
financially provide for the children. Tettis v. Bovum, 463 A.2d 1056, 1064 (Pa.
Super 1983). The following facts will be explored:
1. Character: Aside from father's history of assaultive and abusive
behavior, father was charged and pled guilty to furnishing alcohol to a minor, an
M-3. Guilty plea, MDJ Clement, 6/29/09. This incident occuned while he
supposedly should have been watching the children.
2. Type of home: Father retains possession of the marital home. He
has refused mother reimbursement for the value thereof, which has halted
divorce proceedings. He refuses mother access to the home. The home is
currently in foreclosure, thus father can not even offer This Court a roof over their
heads.
Mother is settled into a new apartment in Newport, with separate
bedrooms for each child.
3. Ability to care: Father's parents and grandmother often care for the
children. They sleep frequently at grandmother's house. Father presses for full
time custody, but is in reality a part time caretaker.
4. Ability to provide: Mother has a stable job as a pharmacy
technician. Father works sometimes, but mostly collects unemployment. Father
has wasted the value of the marital home by failing to pay the mortgage.
3.
IV: WITNESSES AND TESTIMONY
Although father filed the current Petition for Modification, mother has been
designated the moving party. Therefore, mother proceeds first with testimony,
regarding the above issues, as follows:
1. Father Jason Grob, (as on cross).
2. Mother Kelly Grob.
Mother requests this Pre-Trial Memorandum become part of the record.

c. On Wednesday, February 2, 2011, Father was sent home early from work due to
illness, picked up both children from their paternal grandmother's house, and
immediately transported them to Mother's residence.
d. At that time, neither child exhibited signs of physical abuse.
e. Father dropped off both children at Mother's apartment and left.
f. After several hours exercising physical custody of both children, Mother called
Cumberland County Children and Youth reporting Anthony had a bruised eye
and attributing the injury to Father.
g. A text message was sent to Father by Mother but not received for a few days, as
Father was ill.
h. No action was immediately or subsequently taken to date by Cumberland County
Children and Youth seeking to preclude Father from exercising physical custody
of either of the children.
i. On February 15, 2011, Father picked up both children at their Mother's apartment
and re-established physical custody.
j. At that time, :Father observed bruising to Anthony's eye and other marks.
k. Both children advised Father that Anthony's injuries were sustained at the hands
of Travis Lilly, Mother's boyfriend who they report lives in the same apartment
complex as Mother and regularly co-habitates with her.
1. Father immediately contacted the police and was directed to the Pennsylvania
State Police (13SP)-Newport, as they maintain jurisdiction for Duncannon, Perry
County.
m. Father followed with PSP as directed.
n. Trooper Arnold interviewed both children and his investigation is ongoing.
o. Incident to this complaint, Perry County Children and Youth became involved.
p. On February 7, 2011, Perry County Children and Youth Services issued a letter to
Father memorializing that it had received a "suspected serious physical injury
child abuse report" concerning Anthony and naming Travis Lilly as the alleged
perpetrator. A. true and correct copy of said letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
q. On February 8, 2011, incident to its preliminary investigation, Perry County
Children and Youth implemented a Safety Plan, which prohibits Mother from
exercising physical custody and care of Anthony Grob. A true and correct copy
of said Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
r. However, since the initial complaint did not involve allegations of direct,
physical abuse against Masiela, she was not included in the initial safety plan.
s. Due to the course of events outlined above, Father has concerns for the welfare of
Masiela should she return to the continued physical custody and care of Mother.
9. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be served by granting
Petitioner sole physical custody and terminating Mother's periods of partial physical custody of the
children pending a Hearing.
10. This custody matter was previously assigned to The Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr.,
who signed the Interim Order dated August 4, 2010.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests This Honorable Court to award him sole
physical custody and terminate Mother's periods of partial physical custody of the minor children
pending a Hearing.

Dear Mr. Grob,

JOHN J. AMSLER
BRENDA K BENNER
STEPHEN C. NAYLOR
A suspected serious physical injury child abuse report regarding your child, Anthony Grob, has been received by Perry
County Children and Youth Services and Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Harrisburg, PA. The alleged
perpetrator by commission is listed as Travis Lilly.
At any time, upon written request, you may receive a copy of the information contained in said report, except that no
data may be released that would identify persons who made the report or cooperated in subsequent investigations.
This suspected child abuse report will be reported to law enforcement officials if the initial review gives evidence that
the abuse is homicide, sexual abuse or exploitation, or serious bodily injury perpetrated by persons whether related or not
related to the victim, or child abuse perpetrated by persons who are not family or household members. Persons named as
perpetrators may not be hired in some child caring jobs under certain conditions according to Act 33 of 1985.
If, after completion of the Children and Youth Services' investigation, the allegations cannot be substantiated, the report
will be given an unfounded status. The information contained in the report of suspected abuse will be maintained for one
year. Following the expiration of one year after the date the report was received, the report will be expunged within the
next 120 days.
Perry County Children and Youth Services is anxious to assist you in every way we can to provide a safe, nurturing
home for your child. Please call the caseworker listed below at 717-582-2076 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to
schedule an appointment as soon as you receive this letter.
Sincerely,
(Y&W vw?-_

KELLY M. GROB, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Plaintiff
V. CIVIL ACTION: CUSTODY
JASON D. GROB,
Defendant : No. 2008 - 5654 - CIVIL TERM
MOTION IN LIMINE
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Kelly Grob, by and through her attorney,
Philip M. Intrieri, Esq., who files this Motion in Limine for an in camera
proceeding, to determine the reliability and admissibility of certain statements
made by daughter Masiella Grob to Perry County Children and Youth, and
Mother, and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. The Moving Party is Kelly M. Grob, Mother, who resides at 402
Mahanoy Valley Road, Duncannon, PA 17020.
2. The Respondent is Jason Grob, Father, who resides at 7 Scarsdale
Drive, Camp Hill, PA 17011.
3. The parties hereto are currently before the Honorable J. Wesley
Oler, Jr., on Father's Petition to Modify Custody, in which he is requesting sole
legal and primary physical custody of the parties' two minor children. The matter
is entering its third day of trial on March 24, 2011.
4. The minor children are Masiella, age 5, and Anthony, age 3.
5. On February 2, 2011, after picking up the children from Father at
1:00 p.m., and helping Anthony to undress, Mother noticed bruising to his neck.
Anthony later developed a black eye, although this injury was not readily visible
at 5:00 p.m.
6. Mother notified Father at 7:19 p.m. and sought treatment at Holy
Spirit Hospital. Father did not respond until the next day.
7. Mother received discharge instructions from Holy Spirit Hospital
directing the children not be allowed out of her care. See: Plaintiff's Exhibit 1.
Holy Spirit (not Mother) notified Cumberland County Children and Youth.
8. Cumberland opened a case but does not appear to have taken any
action of significance thus far.
9. Despite medical instructions to the contrary, and against her
wishes, Mother released the children to Father at his normal time, on February 6,
2011. Mother released the children because the undersigned counsel advised
her the current temporary order of This Court was controlling, and not the
hospital's direction.
10. Although Cumberland County Children and Youth, and Lower Allen
Police had already begun their investigation, upon exercising custody Father
reported the same matter four days later to the Pa. State Police, and Perry
2.
County Children and Youth, ("Perry").
11. Father apparently maintains that the abuse was committed by
Mother's boyfriend, one Travis Lilly. Father claims the children communicated
this to him.
12. As a result of Father's actions, Perry issued a Safety Plan denying
Mother access to son Anthony. Perry took this action after having the case a
single day, on February 8, 2011.
13. It is unclear whether Father advised Perry on February 7, that
Cumberland had already initiated a case on or around February 4, based on
Mother's initiation of medical treatment, or if he reported the injuries as
something new.
14. On February 15, 2011, Father declined, without lawful authority, to
follow the custody order and allow Masiella to visit Mother.
15. On February 17, 2011, Father filed an Emergency Petition before
This Honorable Court, seeking to completely disallow Mother from seeing both
children pending hearing. Such Petition is on record with The Court, and is
incorporated by reference herein.
16. Father failed to make clear to The Court that it was in fact Mother
who first expressed concern regarding the injuries to Anthony, and who first
sought medical treatment. Father did explain he failed to respond to Mother's
inquiry because he was "ill for a few days". [Emergency Petition averment 6(a).]
17. On February 18, 2011, This Court issued an order directing Mother
not to allow Masiella to "be in possession of Travis Lilly."
3.
18. The order issued based on incomplete information without allowing
any opportunity for response.
19. On or around February 16, 2011, Masiella told Mother she had a
secret to tell, and blurted out that Father had told both children to lie and say that
Travis Lilly caused the injuries to Anthony.
20. Subsequent to the above date, based on information and belief,
Masiella repeated to Perry County caseworker Laura Yoder that Father had
urged both children to lie and say that Travis Lilly caused the injuries.
21. On February 22, 2011, both Mother and Travis Lilly voluntarily
submitted to polygraph examinations administered by the Pa. State Police
(Newport). Mother reports, based on information and belief, that both passed
these examinations.
22. On February 23, 2011, the Safety Plan which purported to deny
Mother's access to son Anthony was lifted by Perry County Children and Youth
Services. See: Plaintiffs Exhibit 2.
23. On March 1, 2011, Perry County classified the allegation against
Travis Lilly as unfounded. See: Plaintiff's Exhibit 3.
24. As of this writing, both parties are exercising their normal visitation
schedule.
MOTION
25. An allegation of child abuse is a severe accusation that impacts a
person's life, social status, parental rights, and employment opportunities.
26. If Father urged the children to lie regarding the identity of the
4.
perpetrator, it raises serious questions about his character and fitness, as well as
subjecting him to charges of false reports and unswom falsification.
27. If Father urged the children to lie regarding the identity of the
perpetrator, and obtained the Emergency Order under false pretenses, it is
relevant as to which parent would have the tendency to encourage full and
meaningful contact with the other parent.
28. It is probative that Father, upon obtaining a Safety Plan concerning
Anthony, immediately took steps to deny Mother physical custody of both
children, whereas Mother, even after receiving medical instructions to the
contrary, continued to allow both children to see their father.
29. Perry County Children and Youth has released only redacted
reports on this matter. These reports are entirely silent as to the reasons why the
Safety Plan issued against Mother was rescinded, and why the allegation of
abuse against Travis Lilly was unfounded.
30. In order to determine whether it is more or less likely the alleged
abuse was committed while in the care of one parent or another, and whether or
not a false report was submitted, it is necessary that Perry be directed to release
their case notes, interview notes and results, other relevant material, and provide
testimony.
31. Pursuant to the Child Protective Services Act, a court may direct
disclosure of any reports and files it considers relevant, "in connection with any
matter involving custody of a child." 23 Pa. C.S.A. 6340(a)(5.1).
32. Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1915.11, a court may further conduct
interrogation of a child in chambers in the presence of the attorneys.
5.
33. Pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.A. 5985. 1, (the tender years exception),
Masiella's hearsay statements made to her Children and Youth caseworker and
Mother concerning assault are admissible in any criminal or civil proceeding, if
there is prior notice, and if the court determines in an in camera proceeding the
circumstances of the statement provide sufficient indicia of reliability.
34. Counsel for Mother sought the concurrence of opposing counsel on
March 15, 2011, and counsel for Father opposes the Motion.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests This Honorable Court issue an order: a)
Scheduling a hearing on the instant Motion, to determine the admissibility of the
aforementioned statements of the child Masiella, b) Setting such hearing just
prior to trial on March 24, 2011, at 9:30 a.m., c) Directing Perry County Children
and Youth Services, on that date and time, to produce and provide copies of their
entire file encompassing services rendered to Masiella and Anthony Grob, for
purposes of an in camera review by The Court and counsel, to determine the
relevance and admissibility of such material, d) Directing Perry County
caseworker Laura Yoder, and Supervisor Julie Martzall appear and testify as The
Court may allow, and e) Directing the party in possession of Masiella and
Anthony to provide for their appearance in court.

ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S 5;X --s
MOTION IN LIMINE co 3
„
AND NOW COMES, Jason D. Grob, by and through his attorney, Thomas M. Clark,
Esquire, of Colgan & Associates, LLC, and files the instant Answer to Plaintiff's Motion In Limine,
and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Denied. After reasonable investigation Father is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this averment. By way of further answer, it should be
pointed out that on February 2, 2011, the exchange between Father and Mother took place at 1:00
p.m. It was not until 7:19 p.m. that Mother attempted to notify Father of the child's injuries. Mother
did not take the child to Holy Spirit Hospital until after 7:19 p.m. It is believed and therefore averred
that had there been bruises on the child at the time of the exchange, Mother would not have waited
more than 6 hours before taking action in this matter.
0
6. Admitted in part, Denied in part. It is admitted that Mother text messaged Father at 7:19
p.m. It should be noted that Father not responding was due to Father being sick and not immediately
reviewing text messages. Given the circumstances, Father in no way would ignore messages such as
these.
7. Denied. Father is without sufficient knowledge as to the truth of this averment.
8. Denied. Cumberland County Children and Youth Services were called by Mother against
Father. At the time of the filing of this Motion, the caseworker assigned to this case confirmed that
the case was being marked Unfounded.
9. Neither Admitted nor Denied.
10. Denied. On February 6, 2011, Father picked up both children from Mother and re-
established physical custody. At that time, Father observed bruising to Anthony's eye and other
marks. Both children advised Father that Anthony's injuries were sustained at the hands of Travis
Lilly, Mother's paramour. Given the children's unsolicited statements, Father had no other choice
but to call the authorities.
11. Admitted in part, Denied in part. It is denied that Father maintains that Travis Lilly
committed the abuse. It was the children who told Father and several other people that Anthony's
injuries were sustained at the hands of Travis Lilly. Father believes that it would be in the best
interest of the children, for the children to see a therapist to address this issue and many others.
Mother has refused Father's request to have the children see a therapist.
12. Admitted in part, Denied in part. It is admitted that Perry County Children and Youth
issued a safety plan in which Mother's rights to custody, with regard to Anthony, were suspended.
Father is without the specific knowledge as to the exact details leading up to the safety plan.
13. Denied. The matter was reported to Perry County Children and Youth Services do to the
location of Mother's paramour. Since the children told Father and several other people that
Anthony's injuries were sustained at the hands of Mother's paramour, it was appropriate for the
matter to be reported to Perry County Children and Youth Services.
14. Denied. It is denied that Father declined, without lawful authority, to follow the custody
Order. Father was cooperating with both Perry County and Cumberland County Children and Youth
Services and took steps to file an Emergency Petition with the Court to get to the bottom of the
situation with regard to the injuries to Anthony. Father's goal was and is still today to find the truth
behind the injuries. While Children and Youth Services marked the cases as Unfounded, Father
believes that it would be in the best interest of the children for them to see a therapist to help with
this situation and the ongoing custody situation.
15. Admitted.
16. Denied. It is denied that Father was not clear with the Courts. Father put forth in his
Emergency Petition the facts surrounding Anthony's injuries. Father had two children stating that
the injuries were due to the actions of Mother's paramour. Until Children and Youth services could
investigate the situation, Father felt it in the best interests of the children to protect them.
17. Admitted.
18. Denied. The Order that this Honorable Court issued based on Father's Emergency
Petition, was not based on incomplete information. The Court received accurate information from
Father, and the Court took the least restrictive measures while the matter was being investigated by
Children and Youth Services.
19. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Father is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this averment. By way of further answer, Father is
concerned about the circumstances under which Mother is questioning Masiella. When Masiella and
Anthony make statements to Father, Father in no way tries to tell either of the children what to say.
Father has concerns that the children are being put in an impossible position and again, Father
believes that a professional, such as a therapist, talking with the children may be in their best interest.
20. Denied. See answer 19.
21. Denied. After reasonable investigation Father is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth to the averments. If a response is deemed to be required the
averments contained herein are denied.
22. Admitted in part, Denied in part. It is admitted that Perry County Children and Youth
Services lifted the safety plan allowing Mother to have access to Anthony. It is denied that the safety
plan was initiated to deny Mother access, but rather to give Perry County Children and Youth
Services time to investigate the allegations.
23. Admitted.
24. Admitted.
25. Denied. The averments in this paragraph contain conclusions to which no response is
required. If a response is deemed to be required, averments contained herein are denied.
26. Denied. It is denied that Father urged the children to lie regarding the identity of the
perpetrator. The children stated on multiple occasions, to multiple people, the circumstances
surrounding the injuries. Father cooperated with Children and Youth Services' investigation. Father
requests that this Court allow the children be seen by a therapist to address the surrounding incidents,
as well as the stressors of the custody situation. Father would not suggest that the children see a
therapist if he had any way tried to lie regarding the identity of a perpetrator. Mother's allegations
are baseless.
27. Denied. See answer 26.
28. Denied. The safety plan was put in place so that Mother cannot be around Anthony
during the period of investigation with Perry County Children and Youth Services. Father thought it
was best to request the same with Masiella. Father believed that if what the children were saying
was accurate, giving Children and Youth Services some time to investigate this matter would be
appropriate.
29. Denied. It is believed that Children and Youth Services released what was necessary in
this case. Perry County Children and Youth Services marked the case Unfounded, as did
Cumberland County Children and Youth. Both agencies provided no more or no less than what they
would do in any other case.
30. Denied. This paragraph contains averments to which no response is required. If a
response is deemed to be required the averments contained herein are denied. By way of further
answer, Mother suggests that if Perry County Children and Youth provided their file, it would help to
determine whether it is more or less likely that the abuse was committed while in the care or one
parent or the other. As stated in a previous answer, both Perry and Cumberland County Children and
Youth Services marked the cases as Unfounded.
31. Denied. This averment and paragraph contains conclusions of law to which no response
is required. If a response is deemed to be required the averments contained herein are denied.
32. Admitted.
33. Denied. This averment and paragraph contains conclusions of law to which no response
is required. If a response is deemed to be required the averments contained herein are denied. By
way of further answer, Father leaves it to the Court's discretion to decide whether or not the Court
wants to see the children in chambers. Father does have concerns given the children's age and
mental state going forward and would request that the Court allow the children to see a therapist.
34. Admitted in part, Denied in part. It is admitted that Attorney Intrieri sought the
concurrence of opposing counsel on March 15, 2011. Counsel for Father opposed the Motion. At
the time of Attorney Intrieri's request it was unclear as to what exactly he was seeking from the
Court. Therefore, Undersigned Counsel had no choice but to oppose with the Motion.
As was stated by Attorney Intrieri, this is day three of a custody trial. The situation with
Children and Youth Services was marked Unfounded by both Perry County Children and Youth
Services and Cumberland County Children and Youth Services. It is believed that Mother wants to
turn the remaining portion of the custody trial into a Children and Youth Services matter. While
Father has serious concerns given Anthony's injuries and the circumstances surrounding the injuries,
Father believes that it is in the children's best interest for the children to see a therapist rather than be
put through the stressors of ongoing court battles. Father is hopeful that if Mother is willing to
cooperate with therapy, then the children will be better off in the long run. Given the fact that the
current hearing date falls on a day when Mother has physical custody, should Mother chose to have
the children at the courthouse is within her sole discretion.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Plaintiff
V. CIVIL ACTION: CUSTODY
JASON D. GROG,
Defendant : No. 2008 - 5654 - CIVIL TERM
PLAINTIFF'S COMBINED RESPONSE TO FATHER'S "PETITION FOR
SPECIAL RELIEF TO ADDRESS VACATION ISSUE" AND "MOTION TO
COMPEL MOTHER TO PARTICIPATE IN CO-PARENTING COUNSELING"
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Mother Kelly Grob, by and through her
attorney, Philip M. Intrieri, Esq., who files this Memorandum Response to the
issues above-presented, insofar as a memorandum is best suited to secure the
just, speedy and inexpensive determination of the actions, and in consideration
of the fact that these matters have been referred to conciliation, and in support of
Mother's position, states as follows:
MEMORANDUM RESPONSE
This matter began when the Court entered a temporary custody
arrangement by order dated December 17, 2008. This order decreed shared
legal custody of children Masiella and Anthony, and shared physical custody on a
"three days on, four days off" basis, designed to fit Mother's work schedule.
Since that time Father has presented us with five different emergencies and
special matters. On December 4, 2009, he filed for modification of the above
order asserting a right to primary physical and sole legal custody. This matter
underwent two unsuccessful conciliations. After Mother was somehow
designated the "moving party", this has proceeded to trial and is now pending a
third day of hearing.
Father then produced a second matter. Father continued to live in the
marital home while Mother relocated to Newport PA. Father completely
exhausted the equity in the house by failing to pay the mortgage for some two
years. He decided he could save the house if only Mother would deed it to him
for no compensation for the equity wasted. This was presented by way of special
petition, which the Court denied. Father has never taken responsibility for failing
to preserve this asset. More to the point, by the time the case was placed before
the Master on economic issues he had saved some $34,000 in living expenses,
while Mother was relegated to an apartment in Perry County at a much reduced
standard of living. As of this writing, Father continues to deny Mother even token
compensation for rental credits and counsel fees, pleading to the Master he has
no money.
Father then produced a third emergency. After Mother noticed neck
bruising on son Anthony and took him for medical care, Father filed an
emergency petition to completely terminate Mother's periods of partial custody.
In that petition, filed February 17, 2011, Father pointed to Mother's boyfriend,
Travis Lilly, as the perpetrator of the abuse. This put both Mother and Mr. Lilly
through a harrowing series of events, including police interviews and culminating
in the administration of voluntary polygraph examinations, which both passed.
Moreover, daughter Masiella later told a Perry County Children and Youth
caseworker that Father urged both children to lie and say that Mr. Lilly committed
the abuse. On March 1, 2011, Perry classified the allegation against Mr. Lilly as
unfounded. The circumstances of this allegation of child abuse will be centrally
relevant in the custody trial continuation, currently scheduled before The
Honorable J. Wesley Oler on July 11, 2011. If it is determined that Father
advanced a false report in order to gain an advantage in custody proceedings,
this will be probative on multiple bases.
We now have before us Father's fourth and fifth crises. If it demonstrates
anything, aside from an over-enchantment with the word 'special', it is clear that
Mother is litigating on an uneven playing field. While Father through counsel
continues to deny any ability to compensate Mother for her attorney fees, he
apparently has the ability to constantly pelt Mother with petition after petition.
While Mother has offered an essentially even-handed custodial arrangement
which would settle the matter, Father instead has over-extended this litigation
and run up the costs to the point of driving an immovable wedge between the
parties.
During the pendency of these proceedings, while claiming poverty, Father
has been cited and paid finestfees for assaulting Mother, providing alcohol to
minors, having sex in the Walmart parking lot and fleeing and eluding police.
Father now appears and proudly trumpets that he can now "afford to take the
children" on a luxury nine day vacation to Florida. Aside from the earlier lack of
candor regarding his financial status, and his misperception of life's priorities
evident in this statement, there are real difficulties with his proposal.
First, he cites no statute or case law that would even begin to be helpful to
the Court or opposing counsel in analyzing the question presented. Second, it is
counter to Judge Oler's temporary order, which mandates the parties must share
son Anthony's birthday. This vacation was proposed well enough in advance,
that Father had to have known he was attempting to monopolize this day. Third,
the timing of this vacation is particularly troublesome, mere weeks before the
2.
children may have to be examined in camera regarding the alleged false report of
abuse.
We may never reach the truth of the matter regarding who caused
Anthony's neck injuries. However, the following can not be disputed: As
between the parties, only Father has a demonstrated history of abuse issues
which included choking and smothering, and further, neither Father nor any
member of his extended family have volunteered to undergo polygraph testing.
To deprive Mother of partial custody for a full nine day span deprives her of her
ability to observe their physical well-being and act if further injury occurs.
We turn now to Father's motion to force Mother to participate in co-
parenting counseling. We note again he cites no law helpful in determining the
issue. We will point out that the original understanding of the parties was to
locate a service geographically convenient to Mother, or perhaps in between
Father and Mother. Mother has stated, in her own words, that since her
unemployment benefits have been exhausted, and the recent birth of her third
child, that traveling an hour each way to Harrisburg is a clear hardship. Further
she already has the children enrolled in services in Pent' County, and has sought
parenting counseling on an individual basis. Mother is protected from contact
with Father through an active PFA order. Therefore, she is attempting to follow
the spirit of the agreement in good faith while understandably avoiding contact
with Father. Considering Father's actions as detailed above, there is a limit to
the efficacy of further counseling. And while the undersigned is of the opinion
that counseling with both parties in the same room might someday make a
difference, this decision is ultimately up to the client, absent presentation of
necessitous and compelling reasons to issue an order.
For the above reasons, Father's fourth and fifth special petition and motion
should be denied.

PETITION TO WITHDRAW AS PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff's attorney, Philip M. Intrieri, Esq., who files this
Petition for Leave of Court to Withdraw His Appearance in the above-captioned
matters, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1012, and the Rules of Professional Conduct,
and in support thereof states as follows:
1. Plaintiff in the subject actions is Kelly M. Grob, an adult individual,
who resides at 402 Mahanoy Valley Road, Apt. B, Duncannon, PA 17020.
2. With regard to the Divorce action, Plaintiff is scheduled for a
Master's hearing on economic issues on September 15, 2011. The divorce itself
is uncontested.
3. With regard to the Custody action, litigation has been extensive and
was concluded with an in-court settlement on the third day of trial on July 11,
2011. Father received primary physical custody of the couple's two children.
4. At the above custody trial a prime issue of contention was an
allegation of physical abuse, about which Mother blamed Father and Father
blamed Mother's boyfriend.
5. At the above custody trial daughter Masiella tested credibly that
the perpetrator was Mother's boyfriend.
6. On or around August 21, 2011, Plaintiff-Mother took unilateral
action to withhold custody from Father, again due to similar allegations of abuse.
This action was taken in the absence of advice from the undersigned counsel.
7. Mother is now pending, and may have to defend a citation for
contempt of the custody order.
8. The undersigned counsel asserts the following grounds for
withdrawal:
a) Pa. R.P.C. 1.16(a)(5): The plaintiff has defaulted substantially on
certain obligations she has accrued. The details of such default are
privileged, but will be disclosed should This Honorable Court so direct.
b) Pa. R.P.C. 1.16(a)(6): The representation has been rendered
unreasonably difficult by the client, and will result in an unreasonable
financial burden on the undersigned.
c) Pa. R.C.P 1.16(a)(1): Continued representation could result in a
violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct, by way of advocacy of a
certain position in violation of a lawful and settled Order of This Court.
2.
9. While there is no current judicial assignment for the divorce matter,
the Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr., has had extensive involvement with the
custody action.
10. The Plaintiff was notified of counsel's probable withdrawal on
August 23, 2011, and thus has the opportunity to obtain new counsel.
11. WHEREFORE, the undersigned counsel requests leave from This
Honorable Court to terminate his representation of the Plaintiff in the above-
captioned matters.

? T,
b. Absent an emergency, neither parent shall obtain medical care and/or have
an initial interview with any health caregiver in the absence of the participation of the
other parent.
C. Any parent granted sole or shared legal custody has the right to access the
child's medical, dental, religious and school records, the address of the child and any
other related information in accordance with 23 Pa.C.S.A. § 5336(a).
d. Each parent shall execute any and all legal authorizations so that the other
parent may obtain information from their children's schools, physicians, dentists,
orthodontists, counselors, psychologists, or other similar individuals or entities
concerning their children's progress and welfare.
e. Both parents shall arrange for the children's school to provide both parents
identical information. Both parents shall provide to the other parent on a weekly basis,
all school papers, projects, or other products of the children's development, and mutually
share those items as fully as possible.
f. The parents shall, in advance, discuss and attempt to reach a mutual
agreement regarding their children's enrollment or termination in a particular school or
school program, and advancing or holding their children back in school.
g. Neither parent shall impair the other parent's rights and responsibilities for
their shared legal custodial responsibilities for their children.
h. Parents shall civilly and respectfully communicate about co-parenting
legal custody issues and changes in schedules in person and via letters, faxes, texts or e-
mail, whichever means is most appropriate for the matter.
i. If the parents are unable to agree, they shall follow the procedures set forth
in Paragraph 16 of this Stipulation/Order.
2. No Conflict Zone and General Rules of Conduct:
a. The parents shall not alienate the affections of their children from the
other parent and the other parent's extended family and shall make a special conscious
effort not to do so. To the extent possible, the parents shall prevent third parties from
alienating the children's affections from the other parent as well as the other parent's
extended family.
b. The parents shall establish a No-Conflict Zone for their children and
refrain from making derogatory or uncomplimentary comments about the other parent in
the presence of their children and to the extent possible, shall not permit third parties
from making such comments in the presence of their children while in their physical
custody, whether they are sleeping, awake or in another room.
C. It shall be the duty of each parent to uphold the other parent as one the
children should respect and love.
d. Each parent shall speak respectfully of the other whether it is believed the
other reciprocates or not. Each parental figure shall refer to the other by the appropriate
role name such as Mom, Dad, your grandmother, etc.
e. The parents shall refrain from encouraging their children to provide
reports about the other party. Communication should always take place directly
between parents, without using their children or others as an intermediary or spy on the
other parent. It is harmful to the children to be put in the role of a spy.
f. The children shall be protected by the parents from individuals with poor
character (including, but not limited to, individuals involved with illegal activity,
immoral or intemperate behavior, or violent propensities). The parents shall, to the extent
possible, avoid contact with such individuals of poor character. It sets a bad example and
may corrupt the morals of the children.
g. The parents should remember that they cannot teach the children proper
moral conduct by indulging in improper conduct themselves. Children are quick to
recognize hypocrisy and the parent who maintains a double standard will lose the respect
of their children.
h. The parents shall not permit their child to be exposed to or participate in
interactive excessively violent video games based upon their understanding that violent
video games increase aggression, physiological desensitization to violence and decreases
pro-social behavior.
i. The parents shall not conduct arguments or heated conversation when they
are together in the presence of their children.
j. It is in the children's best interest for the parents and all adults to
understand that the children is/are trying to desperately cope with the custody litigation
and related issues, and need help in loving both parents, rather than interference or
censure.
k. The parents shall, at all times, consider the children's best interests, and
act accordingly.
3. Physical Custodial Responsibilities:
a. The parents shall share physical custodial responsibilities for their
children, as outlined in Paragraph 4 herein.
b. All physical custodial exchanges shall be handled professionally, under a
"no conflict zone," abiding by all techniques set forth in reputable parental educational
materials, to avoid conflict, anxiety, and other emotional harm to the children.
C. Day-to-day decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent then having
physical custodial responsibilities. Each parent shall notify the other of any activity or
circumstance concerning their children that could reasonably be expected to be of
concern or interest to the other parent.
d. With regard to any emergency decisions which must be made, the parent
having physical custodial responsibility for their children at the time of the emergency
shall be permitted to make any necessary immediate decisions.
e. In the event of a child's serious illness, the parent then having physical
custodial responsibility shall immediately inform the other parent by telephone or any
other means, as to the nature of the illness. During such illness, each parent shall have
the right to visit the child, consistent with the medical status of the child.
f. If a child is taking medication, an adequate supply of that medication or a
prescription for the medication shall be given to the other parent at the custodial
exchanges. An adequate supply of the children's recommended nutritional supplements
and non-prescription medication and supplies, if any, shall be maintained by each parent.
g. The parent with physical custodial responsibilities for their children during
any given period of time shall communicate in a prompt fashion with the other parent
concerning the well-being of their children, and shall appropriately notify the other parent
of any changes in health or educational progress.
h. Each parent shall promptly notify the other parent of, and invite to major
events in the children's lives, including but not limited to graduations, awards
presentations, performances, academic and athletic competitions and similar
extracurricular activities.

parent's telephone calls, text messages, faxes and emails regarding the children.
