ROYE, Plaintiff JAMES WASHINGTON III, Defendant IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION - LAW IN CUSTODY NO. 01-6403 CIVIL TERM PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF PURSUANT TO RULE 1915.13 Petitioner, Christina L. Roye, by and through her attorneys, the Family Law Clinic, petitions this court for special relief pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1915.13 for physical custody of the parties' child, James Washington IV (the "child"), bom February 10, 2001, pending conciliation, and in support thereof avers as follows: 1. Petitioner is Christina L. Roye ("Mother"). She is the biological mother of the child. 2. Respondent is James Washington III ("Father"). He is the biological father of the child. 3. Currently, there is no custody order concerning the child. 4. On November 9, 2001, the Family Law Clinic filed a Custody Complaint on behalf of Mother. 5. Mother has not seen the child since October 30, 2001 when Father took physical custody of the child. 6. Mother very much wants to resume contact with the child, and in fact, has asked for primary physical custody of the child. 7. On or about November 9, 2001, the Family Law Clinic contacted Father's attorney, Heather Faust, in order to set up a custody schedule pending the conciliation in this matter. 10. Father informed Mother that she could not have custody of the child without a Court Order. Both parties have agreed to the entry of a Temporary Custody Order, with the following provisions: a) Mother will have physical custody of the child every Monday through Friday from approximately 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. while Father is at work (with Father dropping the child off at Mother's home before work and picking the child up after work) AND b) Mother will have physical custody of the child every other weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, beginning November 24, 2001, from 10 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. on each day, with Father provid'mg all transportation. c) Charles Carothers will not be present in Mother's home during her custodial periods. d) Mother will notify Father if Mother is not able to care for the child during her custodial periods, and allow Father to pick up the child for the period that Mother will be unavailable. Mother has agreed to the entry of a temporary custody order with these conditions only because she wants to have physical custody of the child prior to the conciliation in this matter. Both parties agree that this is only a temporary custody schedule and shall in no way affect or prejudice either party's rights to custody of the child at any time in the future. 11. The Family Law Clinic contacted Father's attorney, Heather Faust, on November 16, 2001, to ask whether Father concurred with this Petition. Ms. Faust informed the Family Law Clinic that Father would agree to the entry of the Order in the form attached hereto. WHEREFORE, Mother respectfully requests that this Court grant her request for special relief by entering an Order in the form attached to this Petition.
