PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
SEEKING CUSTODY OF MINOR CHILD
AND NOW, COMES, Jon M. Fox, by and through his attorney, Peter J. Russo, Esquire,
and respectfully submits the following in support of Defendant's Petition for Special Relief Seeking
Custody:
1. The petition of Jon M. Fox respectfully represents that on November 19, 2002, a
Custody Order was entered by this Honorable Court setting forth the parties respective
custody rights. A tree and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.
2. Respondent has failed to comply with the above-referenced Custody Order and a
Petition for Modification and Contempt has been filed with this Court. A tree and correct
copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.
3. Jessica J. Lacava, mother, has removed Marina Eve Fox, daughter, from the State of
Pennsylvania and has kept her in the Commonwealth of Virginia, thereby separating her
from Jon M. Fox, father.
4. This past weekend, Respondent invited Petitioner to drive to Virginia to pick up the
subject minor child.
5. Upon father's arrival, Mother refused to deliver the child.
6. To the best of Petitioner's knowledge, Respondent is without a p~nnanent residence
and lives with fi'iends while in Virginia.
7. To the best of Petitioner's knowledge, the temporary residence that Respondent
utilizes in Virginia, is inappropriate for the subject minor child.
8. Petitioner is currently unaware of the physical well-being of the subject minor child.
9. The best interests of this child would be served if the child were returned to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as all relevant contacts are with Pennsylvania.
10. The Respondent and the subject minor child have no ties to the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
11. Cumberland County, Pennsylvania is the home county of the subject minor child, as
this child has resided in Cumberland County her entire life.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to order the return of the minor
child, Marina Eve Fox to the jurisdiction of this Court or that physical custody of the minor child be
placed with Petitioner until further hearing on this matter.
