8. Mother has no information of a custody proceeding concerning Gage pending in a

9. Mother does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical
custody of Gage or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to Gage.
10. Gage's best interest and permanent welfare will be served by granting the relief
requested for reasons including, but not limited to the following:
a. Since Gage was born, Mother has been his primary caretaker and has been
responsible for his emotional, physical, educational, financial and medical needs.
More importantly, Mother has been the primary provider for Gage's health and
nutrition because Gage has been breastfed since birth.
b. Mother is fully capable of caring for Gage on a primary basis and has done so
since his birth.
c. Mother is willing to communicate with and work cooperatively with Father to co-
parent Gage and will encourage their father/son relationship.
11. Father has not acted in Gage's best interests in ways including but not limited to the
following:
a. Father has been arbitrary when it comes to spending time with Gage since Gage's
birth. In the two months since Gage's birth, Father has only seen Gage two or
three times, and has repeatedly turned down opportunities to see Gage when
Mother offered. Father has also stated that he did not want to be involved Gage's
life.
b. Father has threatened Mother's life, and Mother currently has filed a harassment
claim against Father with the State Police.
c. Father invited Mother, Gage and Mother's other children to Father's home on

stranded. Father has subsequently refused to return Gage to Mother's custody.
d. Father has questionable parenting skills regarding his other young children and
Mother is concerned Gage will receive similar treatment.
e. Gage is on medication for reflux, which can worsen without proper understanding
and monitoring of the condition. Because of Father's lacking involvement with
Gage's daily care, Mother is concerned about Gage's health and welfare while
with Father.
f. Father has refused to accept or return Mother's calls and has completely denied
Mother any contact with Gage since January 3, 2009.
g. Father's refusal to communicate with Mother results in Father's inability to
ensure that Gage makes his upcoming pediatric appointments which are critical to
a growing infant.
h. Father's decision to withhold Gage from Mother demonstrates a total disregard
for Gage's health and well being in that Gage has been primarily breast-fed since
his birth, resulting in a sudden, unexpected change to Gage's diet.
L Father has consumed alcohol and used drugs in front of his own children.
Father's unsafe behaviors do not provide the safe environment necessary to
properly care for a young child.
j. Father has threatened to move out of the jurisdiction with Gage within the next
month.
12. Every person with rights to custody or having actual physical custody of Gage has
been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Mother requests this Court to grant her the following relief:
1. That the parties shall share legal custody of Gage.
2. That Mother shall have primary physical custody of Gage.
I That Father shall have periods of supervised visitation at times and places agreed
upon by the parties.
4. That the non-custodial parent shall have reasonable telephone contact with Gage
while he is with the other parent.
5. That the parties shall have an appropriate holiday schedule so that both parents
can spend time with Gage during various holidays.
6. Neither party shall consume alcohol or illegal drugs when Gage is in their
custody and neither parry shall allow Gage to be exposed to persons who have
been consuming alcohol or illegal substances.
7. Any other relief this Court finds just and equitable.

MARK SHARP,
Defendant : CUSTODY
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
Petitioner, Tiffany Wagner, by and through her counsel, MidPenn Legal Services, states the
following:
1. Petitioner is the above-named Plaintiff, hereinafter referred to as Mother, who resides at
1120 Roxbury Road, Newburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17240.
2. Respondent is the above-named Defendant, hereinafter referred to as Father, who resides
at 946 Bullfrog Valley Road, Hummelstown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, 17036.
3. The parties are the natural and biological parents of the minor child Gage Sharp, born
November 19, 2008.
4. There is no prior Custody Order in this matter. A Custody Complaint has been filed
simultaneously with the filing of this Petition for Special Relief.
5. On January 3, 2009, Father invited Mother, Gage and Mother's other children to Father's
home on January 3, 2009. Father picked up Mother and her children at Mother's house.
At Father's house, Father took Gage from the car, went into his house, and locked Mother
and her children out of the house, leaving them stranded. Father has subsequently
refused to return Gage to Mother's custody.
6. Defendant is not acting in Gage's best interests for reasons including, but not limited to,
the following:
a. Father has been arbitrary when it comes to spending time with Gage since Gage's
birth. In the two months since Gage's birth, Father has only seen Gage two or
three times, and has repeatedly turned down opportunities to see Gage when
Mother offered. Father has also stated that he did not want to be involved Gage's
life.
b. Father has threatened Mother's life, and Mother currently has filed a harassment
claim against Father with the State Police.
c. Father invited Mother, Gage and Mother's other children to Father's home on
January 3, 2009. Father picked up Mother and her children at Mother's house. At
Father's house, Father took Gage from the car, went into his house, and locked
Mother and her children out of the house, leaving Mother and her other children
stranded. Father has subsequently refused to return Gage to Mother's custody.
d. Father has questionable parenting skills regarding his other young children and
Mother is concerned Gage will receive similar treatment.
e. Gage is on medication for reflux, which can worsen without proper understanding
and monitoring of the condition. Because of Father's lacking involvement with
Gage's daily care, Mother is concerned about Gage's health and welfare while
with Father.
f. Father has refused to accept or return Mother's calls and has completely denied
Mother any contact with Gage since January 3, 2009.
g. Father's refusal to communicate with Mother results in Father's inability to
ensure that Gage makes his upcoming pediatric appointments which are critical to
a growing infant.
h. Father's decision to withhold Gage from Mother demonstrates a total disregard
for Gage's health and well being in that Gage has been primarily breast-fed since
his birth, resulting in a sudden, unexpected change to Gage's diet.
i. Father has consumed alcohol and used drugs in front of his own children.
Father's unsafe behaviors do not provide the safe environment necessary to
properly care for a young child.
j. Father has threatened to move out of the jurisdiction with Gage within the next
month.
7. Mother is the parent who can best provide for Gage for reasons including, but not limited
to, the following:
a. Since Gage was born, Mother has been his primary caretaker and has been
responsible for his emotional, physical, educational, financial and medical needs.
More importantly, Mother has been the primary provider for Gage's health and
nutrition because Gage has been primarily breastfed since birth.
b. Mother is fully capable of caring for Gage on a primary basis and has done so
since his birth.
c. Mother is willing to communicate with and work cooperatively with Father to co-
parent Gage and will encourage their father/son relationship.
8. Without this Court's intervention, Gage is at risk of being harmed emotionally and
physically. Gage is at risk of emotional harm by being denied contact with Mother, the person
who has been his primary caretaker since birth. Gage is at risk of physical harm because
Defendant is not familiar with Gage's medical conditions, is not familiar with the necessary
pediatric appointments already scheduled for Gage, has unilaterally and without medical input
changed Gage's diet which has been based primarily on being breastfed by Mother, and does not
know how to properly care for him. Furthermore, Defendant's questionable and inappropriate
activities in front of his own children suggest that Gage may be subjected to a dangerous
environment.
WHEREFORE, Mother respectfully requests that the Court order the following:
a. That Defendant shall immediately return Gage to Mother's custody.
b. That this matter shall be scheduled for an expedited custody conciliation to
determine a more specific custody schedule regarding Gage.
C. That until the conciliation the parties shall have shared legal custody of Gage.
d. That until the conciliation, Mother shall have primary physical custody of Gage.
e. That until the conciliation, Defendant shall have periods of supervised visitation
at times and places as agreed to by the parties.
f. Until further Order, Defendant shall not remove Gage from Cumberland or
Dauphin Counties.
g. Any other relief this Court finds just and equitable.
