ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this -J? * day of A ? i- ` , 2009, upon
consideration of the attached Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed as follows:
1. The Mother, Marcia Hickey, and the Father, Paul Hickey, shall have shared legal custody of
Ashlynn Hickey, born July 29, 1999. Major decisions concerning the Child including, but not
necessarily limited to, her 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 the Child's best interest. Neither party shall impair the other party's rights to
shared legal custody of the Child. Neither party shall attempt to alienate the affections of the Child
from the other party. Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance concerning the
Child 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. On a trial basis, pending the follow-up conciliation conference scheduled in this Order and
further agreement of the parties or Order of Court, the parties shall have physical custody of the Child
in accordance with the following schedule: Each week shall be divided into Segment A, which shall
run from Friday after school through Monday morning, Segment B, which shall run from Monday
morning through Wednesday morning, and Segment C, which shall run from Wednesday morning
through Friday after school. The parties shall alternate having custody of the Child during Segments
A, B and C each week beginning with the Mother having custody during Segment B on Monday, April
20, 2009. During school days when the Mother has custody of the Child overnight the night before,
the parties agree that the Mother may take the Child to the Father's residence in the morning on the
Mother's way to work between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. and the Father shall be responsible to get the Child
to school.
3. Pending the follow-up conciliation conference scheduled in this Order, the Mother shall
have custody of the Child for Mother's Day and the Father shall have custody of the Child for Father's
Day from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. In addition, the parties shall make arrangements for custody of the
Child over Memorial Day in 2009 by agreement.
4. The parties agree that consistency in the Child's bedtime schedule is important to the
Child's well-being and further agree that the Child's bedtime at both parties' residences shall be
10:00 p.m. or earlier. The parties further agree that the non-custodial parent shall confine evening
telephone calls to the Child to 9:00 p.m. or earlier to avoid interference or delay in the Child's bedtime
routine.
5. The parties and counsel shall attend an additional custody conciliation conference, in the
office of the conciliator, Dawn S. Sunday, on June 4, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. for the purpose of reviewing
the temporary trial custody arrangements.
b. Neither party shall do or say anything which may estrange the Child from the other parent,
injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent, or hamper the free and natural development of the
Child's love and respect for the other parent. Both parties shall ensure that third parties having contact
with the Child comply with this provision.
7. 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 agreement the terms of this Order shall control.

attorney.
Each party acknowledges that he or she fully understands the facts and his or her
legal rights and obligations, and each party acknowledges and accepts that this
Agreement is, under the circumstances, fair and equitable, and that it is being
entered into freely and voluntarily, and that execution of this Agreement is not the
result of any duress or undue influence and that it is not the result of any collusion or
improper or illegal agreement or agreements. Each party hereto acknowledges that
he or she understands the impact of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, whereby the
Court has the right and duty to determine all marital rights of the parties, including
divorce, alimony, alimony pendente lite, equitable distribution of all marital property
or property owned or possessed individually by the other, counsel fees and costs of
litigation and, fully knowing the same, each party hereto still desires to execute this
Agreement acknowledging that the terms and conditions set forth herein are fair,
just, and equitable to each of the parties and waives their respective right to have
the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County or any other Court of competent
jurisdiction to make any determination or order affecting the respective parties' right
to a divorce, alimony, alimony pendente lite, equitable distribution of all marital
property, counsel fees and costs of litigation.
2. DISCLOSURE OF ASSETS. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that he

Each of the parties further acknowledges that he or she has discussed or has had

other in full his or her respective assets, liabilities and income and that this
Agreement was negotiated and entered into on the basis of those disclosures. The
parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the division of assets as set forth in this
Agreement is fair, reasonable and equitable and is satisfactory to them. The
remedies available to either party for breach or violation of this provision shall be
those remedies available pursuant to law and equity. Each party retains the right to

Each may, for his or her separate use or benefit, conduct, carry on or engage in any
business, occupation, profession or employment which to him or her may seem

part of either Husband or Wife of the lawfulness of the cause that led to, or resulted
in, the continuation of their living apart. Husband and Wife shall not molest, harass,
disturb or malign each other or the respective families of each other, nor compel or

founded, and indemnify him and his property against any damages or loss
resulting therefrom, including, but not limited to, costs of court and reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by Husband in connection therewith.

indemnify, save and hold the other and his or her property harmless from any
liability, loss, cost or expense whatsoever incurred in the event of breach hereof.
5.18. Release of Claims. Wife and Husband acknowledge and agree that the
property dispositions provided for herein constitute an equitable distribution of

and enjoy independently of any claim or right of the other, all items of personal
property, tangible or intangible, acquired by him or her from the date of
