2. The Defendant is Jason L. Manges, residing at 218 E. Main St., Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, PA 17055.
3. Plaintiff seeks custody of the following children:
NAME PRESENT RESIDENCE
Andrew M. Manges 20 Circle Drive
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
and
218 E. Main St.
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Cohen D. Manges 20 Circle Drive
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
and
218 E. Main St.
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
The children were not born out of wedlock.
AGE DOB
6 8/18/02
4 1/8/05
The children are presently in the custody of Mother, who resides at 20 Circle
Drive, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055, and Father, who resides at 218 E. Main St., Mechanicsburg,
PA 17055.
During the past five (5) years, the children have resided with the following persons and
at the following addresses:
NAME RESIDENCE DATE
Shannon M. and Jason L. Manges 8 Trout Lane 8/18/02 until 2/24/07
Marysville, PA 17053
Shannon M. Manges 8 Trout Lane 2/24/07 - 12/5/08
Marysville, PA 17053
Jason L. Manges and Lillian Ginanni 218 E. Main St. 2/24/07 - present
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Shannon M. Manges 20 Circle Drive 12/5/08 - present
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
The mother of the children is Plaintiff, Shannon M. Manges, currently residing at 20
Circle Drive, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055. She is married to Defendant.
The father of the children is Defendant, Jason L. Manges, currently residing at 218 E.
Main St., Mechanicsburg, PA 17055. He is married to Plaintiff.
4. The relationship of the Plaintiff to the children is that of Mother. The Plaintiff
currently resides with the following persons:
NAME RELATIONSHIP
Andrew M. Manges Son
Cohen D. Manges Son
5. The relationship of the Defendant to the children is that of Father. The Defendant
currently resides with the following persons:
NAME
Lillian Ginanni
Andrew M. Manges
Cohen D. Manges
RELATIONSHIP
Paramour
Son
Son
6. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in other
litigation concerning the custody of the children in this or another court.
Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the children pending in
a court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical
custody of the children or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the
children.
7. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be served by granting
the relief requested because the present custody arrangement is not in the best interests of the
children. The best interests of the children dictate that they have stability and have a place
where they have a primary home, and it is particularly important because Father is a realtor,
and, as such, his hours are irregular, both for listing and showing houses, and he works
evenings and weekends, at which time the children are left with his paramour.
Petitioner/Mother wishes to extend to Respondent/Father significant periods of visitation which
will be flexible to accommodate his work schedule. Mother has been the primary care giver of
the children since their births, due to Father's work schedule and it is in the best interests of the
children that they spend their time with their Mother, rather than their Father's paramour, when
he is working evenings and weekends.
8. Each parent whose parental rights to the children have not been terminated, and the
person who has physical custody of the children, have been named a party to this action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the Court to grant her primary physical custody of the
children.

consideration of the attached Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed as follows:
1. The Mother, Shannon M. Manges, and the Father, Jason C. Manges, shall have shared legal
custody of Andrew M. Manges born August 18, 2002, and Cohen D. Manges, born January 8, 2005.
Major decisions concerning the Children including, but not necessarily limited to, their health, welfare,
education, religious training and upbringing shall be made jointly by the parties after discussion and
consultation with a view toward obtaining and following a harmonious policy in each Child's best
interest. Neither party shall impair the other party's rights to shared legal custody of the Children.
Neither party shall attempt to alienate the affections of the Children from the other party. Each party
shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance concerning the Children that could reasonably be
expected to be of concern to the other. Day to day decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent
then having physical custody. With regard to any emergency decisions which must be made, the
parent having physical custody of the Child at the time of the emergency shall be permitted to make
any immediate decisions necessitated thereby. However, that parent shall inform the other of the
emergency and consult with him or her as soon as possible. In accordance with 23 Pa.C.S.A. §5309,
each party shall be entitled to complete and full information from any doctor, dentist, teacher,
professional or authority and to have copies of any reports or information given to either party as a
parent as authorized by statute.
2. The parties shall participate in a course of therapeutic family counseling with a professional
to be selected by agreement between the parties. The purpose of the counseling shall be to assist the
parties in establishing sufficient communication and cooperation to enable them to effectively co-
parent their Children. All costs of the counseling which are not covered by insurance shall be shared
equally between the parties by using the joint funds currently in escrow.
3. The parties shall continue to cooperate in considering options for an ongoing custodial
schedule which will best meet the Children's needs. Until such time as the parties reach an agreement
as to a custodial schedule, the parties shall continue to follow the existing schedule, previously
implemented by agreement, under which the parties equally share custody.

r
4. Within four (4) months of the date of this Order, counsel for either party may contact the
conciliator to schedule an additional custody conciliation conference if necessary to assist the parties in
establishing an ongoing custody schedule.
5. 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, this Order shall control.
