CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Emily Louise Snyder July 30, 2007 Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held January 21, 2009 with the following
individuals in attendance: The Mother, Ashley Avis, with her counsel, Karen W. Miller,
Esquire, and the Father, Matthew Alan Snyder, with his counsel, Mark F. Bayley,
Esquire.
3. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal and
primary physical custody with Father having periods of partial physical custody, two
overnights per week, not on weekends, with the right of first refusal during the daytime
during the week when Mother works. Mother argues that this schedule would maximize
the time the child would have with both parents as it coincides with the parents' work
schedules. Mother also asserts a concern over the child spending more than two
overnights with Father because he is to get a male roommate with whom the baby is not
acquainted.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal
custody and shared physical custody, but is willing to accept three overnights per week.
Father asserts that there will not be an adverse impact on the child when his new
roommate moves into the home. Father asserts that three overnights per week does
maximize his time with the child and coincides with his work schedule
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and granting shred legal custody, Mother having primary physical custody with
Father having three 24-hour periods of physical custody per week with the child. It is
expected that the Hearing will require one day.
