PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF PARTIAL CUSTODY OR
VISITATION ORDER PURSUANT TO 23 Pa.C.S. 5310
AND NOW, comes the Petitioner, Daniel Barrick, by his attorney, Tanner Law
Offices, LLC, and represents as follows:
1. Petitioner, Daniel Barrick, is an individual currently residing at 2 Laurel Drive,
Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
2. Respondent, Courtney M. Hockenberry, is an adult individual currently residing
at 64 Tory Circle, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
3. The parties are the parents of one minor child, namely Gavin D. Hockenberry,
born January 8, 2009.
4. Petitioner respectfully represents that on March 27, 2009, an Order of Court
was entered for Custody, in Cumberland County, Docket No. 2009-772
(Exhibit "A").
5. Respondent filed a Petition to Modify Custody Order on June 5, 2009.
6. Petitioner seeks to modify the Order of Court dated March 27, 2009 by sharing
physical custody of their child, with each parent having the child 50 percent of
the time.
6. The child's best interest will be served if Petitioner''s request is granted
because:
A. While the Respondent desires to nurse the child, Mother has difficulty
expressing milk, so child drinks formula and will soon start eating baby
food, and so can spend more time in Petitioner's custody.
B. Respondent does not keep Petitioner informed as to the child's doctor
visits, including the scheduling and cancelling of doctor visits, as well
as diagnosis and treatment resulting from doctor visits.
C. Respondent has enrolled the child in non-state licensed day care.
D. The child's current day care provider will not notify the Petitioner of any
special circumstances regarding their child.
E. The child's current day care provider operates in a substandard fashion,
for example, there are many children cared for and few adults; there is
no crib or changing table; the yard is not fenced in; there are several
dogs which shed hair on the furniture and carpet; and there are exposed
wires on the porch.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Court modify the existing order for
Custody because it will be in the best interest of the child.
Respectfully submitted,
