PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY

Esquire, of Colgan & Associates, LLC, and files the instant Petition for Modification of Custody,

1. The Petitioner/Defendant is Karen Peterson (hereinafter referred to as "Mother"),
who currently resides at 19 Monarch Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
17050.
2. The Respondent/Plaintiff is C. Scott Peterson (hereinafter referred to as "Father"),
who currently resides at 3503 Beech Run Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17055.
3. An Order of Court was entered on March 23, 2009 (a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A".
4. Mother is now seeking a modification of the current terms of the Custody Order
for the following child: Dylan Scott Peterson, born in 2006 (age 7).
5. The relationship of Petitioner/Defendant to the child is that of Mother.
6. The relationship of the Respondent/Plaintiff to the child is that of Father.
7. Mother is satisfied with the parties' day-to-day physical custody schedule, but the
need for modifications to the physical custody schedule has become apparent for the following
reasons:
3.09,0/,'
‘vvy
30/570x,
a. Father has never given his consent to allow Mother to take the child on a
vacation. The existing Order does not address vacation time and, at present, Mother has
been unable to obtain Father's consent to take the child on a week -long family vacation
in June of 2014.
b. The holiday schedule in the existing Order is no longer practical for the
parties.
c. An exchange time needs to be established for non - school days, because
the parties are unable to agree on the appropriate time to exchange custody of the child on
days when school is not in session.
8. Additionally, the following issues regarding legal custody of the child have
arisen, leading to the need for the addition of specific provisions to address the following
concerns in the Custody Order:
a. Mother plans to have a destination wedding in the fall of 2014. Father
will need to sign the appropriate paperwork for the child to obtain a passport in a timely
manner in order to attend the wedding, but he has not done so at the time this petition is
being filed.
b. Mother has sought Father's consent for out of state and/or out of country
travel, to which Father has offered little -to -no response.
c. Notice to the other party should be required prior to one parent visiting the
other's home, as Father has come to Mother's home without notice.
d. The child is not adequately and completely doing his homework while in
Father's physical custody.
e. The child has been tardy for school on several occasions during Father's
period of physical custody.
f. Father has been generally unresponsive regarding general issues regarding
the child's health, education, child care, and medical care. Father should be required to
respond to Mother's requests regarding general issues of legal custody within twenty -
four (24) hours of a request by Mother in order to provide adequate care for the child.
8. Mother has attempted to reach an amicable agreement with Father regarding the
above issues, but no agreements have been reached by the parties.
9. Mother has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the child pending
in a court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
10. Mother does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical
custody of the child or who claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the child.
11. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting
Mother's requested modifications.
12. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not been terminated and the
person who has physical custody of the child have been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests,Y is Ho , ra ‘le Court to grant Mother's
requested relief by modifying the Custody Order as

ORDER OF COURT
ih
AND NOW, this 1 i day of APP,
of the attached Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed as follows:
, 2014, upon consideration
1. The prior Orders of this Court dated March 23, 2009 and November 9, 2009 shall continue
in effect as modified by this Order.
2. In the event an exchange of custody is scheduled to take place at daycare /school and there is
no daycare or school on that day, the exchange time shall be 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise agreed
between the parties. The parent who has custody during the day until 4:00 p.m. shall be responsible to
make any childcare arrangements if necessary.
3. Each parent shall be entitled to have two full nonconsecutive weeks of vacation with the
Child each year upon providing at least 30 days advance notice to the other parent. Each parent shall
be entitled to schedule up to one week of vacation over the other parent's regular weekend period of
custody. The other week of vacation for each parent shall be scheduled to include that parent's regular
weekend period of custody. The parent providing notice first of the selected dates for vacation shall be
entitled to preference on his or her selection of vacation dates. In 2014, the Mother shall have a
vacation period of custody from Saturday, June 7 through Saturday, June 14 at 8:00 p.m. and the
Father shall have a week of vacation from Saturday, June 14 at 8:00 p.m. through Saturday, June 21 at
8:00 p.m. Each party shall comply with the notice requirements for any additional periods of vacation
custody in 2014, if applicable.
4. The Mother shall have custody of the Child from Wednesday, October 15 after school (or
4:00 p.m. if there is no school) through Monday, October 20 for the Mother's wedding on Grand
Cayman Island. The Mother shall provide an itinerary of the trip, including all travel arrangements, to
the Father as soon as it is available but no later than 30 days prior to October 15. As a makeup period
of custody, the Father shall have custody of the. Child from Thursday, October 9, 2014 from after
school (or 4:00 p.m. if there is no school) through Wednesday, October 15.
5. The parties shall cooperate in obtaining a Passport for the Child prior to the October 15
travel. The Father shall provide to the Mother, through counsel, a fully completed Passport application
within seven days of the custody conciliation conference. The Mother's counsel shall hold the
Passport until the time of the October 15 trip. Thereafter, neither parent shall remove the Child from
the United States without the prior consent of the other parent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
6. The prior Order of this Court dated November 9, 2009 is hereby modified to the extent of
any inconsistencies with the following holiday custody provisions:
A. Christmas: In every year, the Mother shall have custody of the Child from
Christmas Eve at 11:00 a.m. through Christmas Day at 11:00 a.m. and the Father shall have custody
from Christmas Day at 11:00 a.m. through December 26 at 11:00 a.m. The remainder of the Christmas
school break shall be divided into Segment A, which shall run from December 26 at 11:00 a.m.
through December 30 at 11:00 a.m., and Segment B, which shall run from December 30 at 11:00 a.m.
through the day on which school resumes. In even numbered years, the Mother shall have custody of
the Child during Segment A and the Father shall have custody during Segment B. In odd numbered
years, the Father shall have custody of the Child during Segment A and the Mother shall have custody
during Segment B. For purposes of this provision, the entire New Year's segment of the holiday shall
be deemed to fall within the same year as Christmas.
B. Thanksgiving: In every year, the Mother shall have custody of the Child on
Thanksgiving Day from 9:00 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. and the Father shall have custody from 3:15 p.m.
through 7:45 p.m.
C. The holiday custody schedule shall supersede and take precedence over the regular
and vacation custody schedule.
7. Recognizing that good communication is essential for an effective co-parenting relationship
and the wellbeing of the Child, each parent shall respond as promptly as possible to emails or other
contacts from the other parent requesting information.
8. The parties agree to consider the possibility of obtaining the assistance of a counselor or
mediator/arbitrator to assist them in improving communications and making timely decisions for the
Child's benefit.
9. No party shall be permitted to relocate the residence of the Child which significantly
impairs the ability to exercise custody unless every individual who has custodial rights to the Child
consents to the proposed relocation or the Court approves the proposed relocation. A person proposing
to relocate MUST comply with 23 Pa. C.S. § 5337.
10. This Order is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties at a custody conciliation
conference. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of
mutual consent, the terms of this Order shall control.
