IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
No. 08-7391 CIVIL ACTION LAW
IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the Child who is the subject of this litigation is
as follows:
Name Date of Birth Currently in the Custody of
Jayden M. Russell 11/05/2004 Primary Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held with regard to this matter on January 19, 2009, an
Order issued January 21, 2009, a status conference was held March 23, 2009, an Order
was issued March 24, 2009 and a conference was held June 18, 2010 with the following
individuals in attendance:
The Mother, Courtney Jones, with her counsel, Michael Whare, Esq.
The Father, Marlin E. Russell, with his counsel, Matthew McKnight, Esq.
Father's position on physical custody is as follows: Father indicates that he would like
at least shared 50150 custody of Jayden. Father initially indicated that he wanted a day
on/day off schedule but would consider a 2/2/3 schedule. Father indicates that the
parties had not been adhering to the previous Order by agreement and that he would see
the Child almost every day. Father indicates that he is currently unemployed and that
he has the ability to care for Jayden on a regular basis. Father refused to agree to
anything less than a true shared physical custody situation.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother also acknowledges that the parties
had not been following the previous Order of Court and that she has been extremely
flexible in regard to arranging custody. Mother indicates that Jayden will be starting
kindergarten in the fall and Jayden needs more stability and a set schedule during the
week. Mother requests that Father has alternating weekends with some evening time
during the week, possibly would agree to two or three overnights during the week in a
two week schedule. Mother indicates that this would cut down on the constant back and
forth for the Child and limit the parents' interaction for the custody exchanges. Mother
also has concerns in regard to Father's allegedly pending charges and lack of discipline
and structure at Father's residence.
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a Hearing and
entering an Order of Court regarding custody as outlined. It is the Conciliator's belief
that this would be in the Children's best interest. It is expected that the Hearing will
require one half day.
6. The proposed recommended Order may contain a requirement that the parties file a pre-
trial memorandum with the Judge to whom the matter has been assigned.

in the present Stipulation and Custody Agreement, and;
WHEREAS, Mother and Father desire the provisions of the present Stipulation and
Custody Agreement be approved by the Honorable Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland

replaces the previous Order of Court entered on June 22, 2010 by the Honorable J. Wesley Oler,
Jr.
NOW THEREFORE,the parties, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of
the mutual promises and agreements contained herein,hereby agree to the custody order as
follows:
L
1. LEGAL CUSTODY: Mother and Father shall have shared legal custody of the
Child. The parties shall have an equal right to make all major non-emergency decisions
affecting the Child's general well-being including,but not limited to,all decisions regarding his

entitled to all records and information pertaining to the Child including,but not limited to,
medical, dental,religious or school records,the residence address of the Child and of the other
parent. To the extent one parent has possession of any such records or information,that parent
shall be required to share the same,or copies thereof,with the other parent within such
reasonable time as to make the records and information of reasonable use to the other parent.

to the other parent. The parry who first gives notice to the other shall take precedence, and the
other party shall not schedule a period of vacation during that time.
5. TRANSPORTATION: Transportation shall be shared by the parties,with the

Child and the other party. Neither parent shall do nor shall either parent permit any third person
to do or say anything which may estrange the Child from the other parent,their spouse or
relatives, or injure the Child's opinion of the other parent or which may hamper the free and
natural development of the Child's love and respect for the other parent.
9. WELFARE OF THE CHILD TO BE CONSIDERED: The welfare and convenience
of the Child shall be the prime consideration of the parties in any application of the provisions of
this Order. Both parents are directed to listen carefully and consider the wishes of the Child in
