PETITION FOR CONTEMPT OF CUSTODY
STIPULATION DATED OCTOBER 28, 2008
1. Petitioner is Eric Shipe, who resides at 6002 Willow Spring Road, Apartment
C, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17111.
2. Respondent is Heather M. Shipe, a/k/a Heather M. Tom, who resides at 90
Springers Lane, Lot # 13, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania 17070.
3. On October 28, 2008, a Custody Stipulation providing for the joint legal
custody of Aubrey Shipe, Minor (female), Date of Birth September 19, 2003, was
entered. The Custody Stipulation was entered pursuant to a Civil Action for Divorce and
incorporated in the terms of the divorce. The Custody Stipulation is docketed at No.
2008-5784 (Cumberland County). A true and correct copy of that Custody Stipulation is
a?oaslf
attached as Exhibit "A."
4. Since the entry of said Custody Stipulation, and finalization of the divorce, on
or about June 2, 2011, Petitioner avers that the Respondent has intentionally and willfully
failed to obey said Order as follows:
A. Respondent has taken Minor from the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania to the state
of Texas without the knowledge, or consent of Petitioner who is the Natural Father.
Petitioner has been advised by family members of Respondent, that Minor has been left in
the state of Texas, presumably, for the entire summer, and in the care of various relatives;
B. According to the express terms of the 2008 Custody Stipulation, "... Father
shall have three nonconsecutive weeks out of the child's summer vacation." (Stipulation
Para. No. 5, pg. 3). Respondent's action in removing Minor to the state of Texas will
violate Petitioner's rights under the 2008 Custody Stipulation;
C. Para. No. 10 of the 2008 Custody Stipulation provides that "Neither party shall
relocate from a current address if such relocation will necessitate a change in the custody
schedule as set forth in the Order, or if the relocation will be to a location in excess of
fifty (50) miles from the other party's then current address without (a) such party's first
giving prior written notice to the other party not less than sixty (60) days prior to the
planned relocation, and (b) either a written consent of the other party to such relocation or
further Order of this Court ...." Petitioner has not been advised of the removal of his
daughter and Minor from the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania and has not given his consent to
her presence there. Respondent has advised friends and relatives, and Petitioner believes,
and, therefore, avers, that it is Respondent's intent to relocate herself and Minor to the
2
state of Texas in direct contravention of the 2008 Custody Stipulation and Petitioner's
legal custody rights based thereon.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Court, after hearing or such other process as
necessary, adjudge the Respondent in contempt of Court and the 2008 Custody
Stipulation. Petitioner further prays that this Honorable Court enter an Order directing
Respondent to return Minor to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania within ten (10) days
of the entry of said Order or be held for civil contempt.
