Defendant
Prior Judge: Kevin A. Hess, P.J.
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW this / 0 day of November 2010, upon consideration of the attached Custody
Conciliation Report, it is Ordered and Directed as follows:
All prior Orders of Court entered in this matter are hereby VACATED and replaced with the
instant Order.
2. Legal Custody: The Father, Jason Mardis, and the Mother, Heidie Mardis, shall have shared
legal custody of Ethan P. Mardis, born 03/11/2005. The parties shall have an equal right to
make all major non-emergency decisions affecting the Child's general well-being including,
but not limited to, all decisions regarding his health, education and religion. Pursuant to the
terms of 23 Pa.C.S. §5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and information
pertaining to the Child including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school
records, the residence address of the Child and of the other parent. To the extent one parent has
possession of any such records or information, that parent shall be required to share the same,
or copies thereof, with the other parent within such reasonable time as to make the records and
information of reasonable use to the other parent.
3. Physical Custody: Mother and Father shall share physical custody of the Child on a repeating
two week schedule as follows:
a. In week one, commencing Monday 11/30/09, Father shall have physical custody
of Ethan from Monday until Wednesday morning. Mother shall then have
custody from Wednesday until Friday morning. Father shall then have custody
from Friday until Monday morning.
b. In week two, Mother shall have physical custody of Ethan from Monday until
Wednesday morning. Father shall then have custody from Wednesday until
Friday morning. Mother shall then have custody from Friday until Monday
morning.
C. The custodial exchanges shall occur at Ethan's school absent agreement
otherwise with the receiving parent picking him up after school. When there is
no school, the parents shall continue the shared physical custody as outlined
above and the exchanges shall occur at 9:00 am with the custodial parent
transporting Ethan to the other parent's residence.
d. The parents may alter said schedule and transportation obligations as the parties
may mutually agree.
4. Right of first refusal: In the event that the custodial parent should require a care-
taker/babysitter for the Child a period of time in excess of four hours, the custodial party shall
first offer said opportunity to the non-custodial parent.
5. Counseling: The parents have agreed that therapeutic family counseling (with the focus on co-
parenting) with a mutually-agreed upon professional would be beneficial to the parents and
Ethan. The cost of said counseling, after appropriate payment through insurance, shall be split
equally between the parties. The Father shall initiate this counseling within ten (10) days of
the instant Order.
6. Each parent shall ensure that Ethan's homework is done in a timely manner and shall keep each
other abreast of Ethan's educational issues.
7. The non-custodial parent shall have liberal telephone contact with the Child on a reasonable
basis.
8. Holidays: The parents shall arrange the holiday schedule as attached unless otherwise mutually
agreed upon. Holiday periods shall supersede the regular physical custody schedule.
9. Each parent shall have two non-consecutive weeks of vacation with the Child per year. The
requesting parent shall give the other parent 30 days advance notice of the requested time and
this vacation week shall supersede the regular physical custody schedule. In the event the
parties schedule conflicting vacations, the party first providing written notice shall have the
choice of vacation. Prior to departure, the parties will provide each other with information
regarding the intended vacation destination and a telephone number at which they can be
reached during their vacation. The parties may expand this vacation time by mutual agreement.
Mother has requested, and Father has agreed, that Mother shall have vacation time from
December 25, 2010 at 12:00 pm until December 31, 2010. (Father shall have custody of Ethan
on New Year's Eve 2010, which is contrary to the holiday schedule).
10. In the event the custodial parent should take the Child out of state, the custodial parent shall,
notify the non-custodial parent within twenty-four hours of departure of the intended
destination and a telephone number at which they can be reached.
11. Neither party may say or do anything nor permit a third party to do or say anything that may
estrange the Child from the other party, or injure the opinion of the Child as to the other party,
or may hamper the free and natural development of the Child's love or affection for the other
party. To the extent possible, both parties shall not allow third parties to disparage the other
parent in the presence of the Child. The parents are cautioned that negative/hostile behavior or
comments against the other parent have a detrimental effect on Ethan's emotional well-being
and relationship with his parents.
12. In the event of a medical emergency, the custodial party shall notify the other parties as soon
as possible after the emergency is handled.
13. During any periods of custody or visitation, the parties shall not possess or use illegal
substances or consume/be under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the point of
intoxication. The parties shall likewise assure, to the extent possible, that other household
members and/or house guests comply with this provision.
14. This Order is entered pursuant to 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.

Both parties have served discovery on the other. Although the Plaintiff, Jason Mardis, has
responded to the Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents filed by the

provide updated information regarding the value of the assets she has in her possession
prior to a Master's Hearing in this matter.
If Ms. Mardis refuses to respond to the Plaintiffs discovery requests, the Plaintiff, Mr.

Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. NO. 2009-1982
HEIDIE E. MARDIS, CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Defendant IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY
1. BACKGROUND FACTS
1. Petitioner is Jason P. Mardis, an adult individual who currently resides at
817 Hogestown Road, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050 ("Father")
2. Respondent is Heidie E. Mardis, an adult individual who currently resides
at 82 Bonnybrook Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 ("Mother")
3. The parties are the parents of the minor child, Ethan P. Mardis, born
March 2005 ("Child").
4. Pursuant to an Order of Court dated November 10, 2010 ("Order"),
Mother and Father share legal custody, and share physical custody, on a repeating two-
week schedule. A true and accurate copy of the November 10, 2010 Order is attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
II. FACTS RELEVANT TO MODIFICATION OF
NOVEMBER 10, 2010 CUSTODY ORDER
5. Father believes and therefore avers that it is in the best interests of the
Child that he be granted primary physical custody, during the school year, for reasons
which include, but which are not limited to, the following:
A. Mother and Father recently attended a meeting with the Child's
teachers and school psychologist regarding the Child's issues in school (academic,
behavioral).
B. At this meeting, the parties discussed the potential causes of these
issues, which included the approximate one-hour, or longer, bus ride the Child takes
during Mother's days custody, and the Child's need for a calm, quiet study environment,
which Father believes is not available at Mother's residence.
C. Father believes that the Child's issues are significantly caused by
the fact that the Child is in two homes during the school year, and this constant
adjustment leads to behavioral issues and distracts the Child from completing his
school work.
D. For reasons stated herein, including but not limited to the Child's
need for one home during the school year and Mother's inability or unwillingness to
assist the Child with his school work and provide a quiet study environment, Father
believes that he should be granted primary physical custody during the school year.
2
E. As an immediate measure, to alleviate both concerns (the long bus
ride and need for a quiet study environment), Father offered to pick the Child up at
school on Mother's days of custody, and take the Child to a quiet study environment
and assist the Child with the completion of his homework. After the Child completed his
homework, Father would return the Child to Mother's home.
F. Father estimates that he would return the Child to Mother on her
days of custody approximately the same time that the Child would return to Mother's
home after the Child's one-hour, or longer, bus ride.
G. Father's proposal would also alleviate many of the Child's
behavioral issues, as many of the behavioral issues were occurring on the Child's one-
hour bus ride to Mother's home.
H. Although Father's proposal would permit Mother to spend
approximately the same amount of time with the Child as she does under the current
custody schedule, Mother rejected Father's proposal with no reasonable explanation.
In light of the fact that Mother is either unwilling or unable to
provide a calm, quiet study environment, as well as Mother necessitating the greater
than one-hour bus ride to her residence, Father believes that it is in the Child's best
interests for Father to be granted primary physical custody of the Child during the
school year.
3
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter an
Order as follows:
1. The parties shall share legal custody;
2. During the school year, Father will have primary physical custody of the
Child subject to Mother's period of partial physical custody;
3. During the summer, Mother and Father will share physical custody of the
Child.

party. To the extent possible, both parties shall not allow third parties to disparage the other
parent in the presence of the Child. The parents are cautioned that negative/hostile behavior or
comments against the other parent have a detrimental effect on Ethan's emotional well-being
and relationship with his parents.
12. In the event of a medical emergency, the custodial party shall notify the other parties as soon
as possible after the emergency is handled.
13. During any periods of custody or visitation, the parties shall not possess or use illegal

Plaintiff : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. NO. 2009-1982
HEIDIE E. MARDIS, : CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Defendant : IN CUSTODY
ANSWER AND NEW MATTER TO PETITION FOR MODIFICATION
Defendant, Heidie E. Mardis, by and through counsel of
Andrew C. Sheely, Esquire, hereby files this Answer and New
Matter to Plaintiff's Petition for Modification of an existing
custody order, and respectfully states as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Denied. Plaintiff/Father's position is contrary to the
law, the existing custody agreement and disregards the best
interest of the minor child. By way of further answer,
Plaintiff/Father has refused to attend co-parenting counseling
as previously ordered and repeatedly disregarded educational and
medical recommendations for improving the behavior and cognitive
abilities of the minor child.
A. Admitted.
B. Admitted/Denied in part. It is admitted that
Plaintiff/Father has opinion as to custody. It is denied that
Defendant/Mother cannot provide a quiet study environment as
suggested by Plaintiff/Father.
C. Admitted in part/Denied in part. It is admitted
that Father has opinions as to the causes of the child's
behavioral and educational problem. It is denied that the two
homes cause the behavioral and educational problements. By way
of further answer , Plaintiff/Father's refusal to attend co-
parenting counseling and Plaintiff/Father's refusal to comply
with professional recommendations are disruptive to the child's
best interests.
D. Denied. To the contrary, Plaitiff/Father's refusal
to recognize and comply with the professional, medical and
educational recommendations have contributed to the problem's
incurred by the minor child. Plaitiff/Father's refusal to
comply prior orders requiring co-parenting counseling has
created additional problems for the minor child. By way of
further answer, Defendant/Mother has demonstrated significant
effort to identify the needs of the minor child in school in
dealing with defiance and delayed cognitive abilities in school,
and she has further demonstrated substantial willingness to
2
assist the minor child's educational needs.
E. Admitted in Part/Denied in Part. It is admitted
that Plaintiff/Father has offered to adjust the pick-up schedule
of the child and participate in study activities with the child
during Mother's period of custody. It is denied that
Defendant/Mother is unable to provide adequate study facilities
for the child who is in 1st grade. By way of further answer
Plaintiff/Father has refused to participate with recommended
testing to determine the existence of learning disabilities, as
well as appropriate treatment for ADHD.
F. Admitted in Part/Denied in Part. It is admitted
that Plaintiff/Father has offered to adjust the pick-up schedule
of the child and participate in study activities with the child
during Mother's period of custody and to provide a shorter bus
ride. Defendant/Mother denies the suggestion this will help the
minor child and Defendant/Mother objects to Plaintiff/Father's
refusal to participate with testing to determine the existence
of learning disabilities, as well as appropriate treatment for
ADHD, significant concerns which must be determined prior to any
change in custody.
G. Denied. To the contrary, Plaintiff/Father's
refusal to comply with medical and educational recommendations
is harming the cognitive and emotional development of the minor
child. As opposed to determining the existence and medical
3
needs of the child, Plaintiff/Father is improperly pursuing a
course of action to deprive the child from needed medical
attention and to minimize Mother's contact with the child for
unknown reasons.
H. Denied. Defendant/Mother can provide sufficient
environment for the child's study and reading needs as a 1st
grader. By way of further answer, Defendant/Mother has
repeatedly requested that Plaintiff/Father permit the minor
child to participate in recommended testing to identify the
needs of the minor child and Plaintiff/Father has refused to
comply with medical and professional recommendations encouraging
appropriate testing to determine if a learning disability
exists.
I. Denied. Mother is capable of providing a
satisfactory environment to assist with the minor child's
elementary educational needs. By way of further answer, Mother
believes that the child should be tested for learning
disabilities as recommended by licensed medical doctors and the
minor child's teachers.
NEW MATTER
6. The statements of fact and answers as set forth in the
preceding paragraphs and subparagraphs are incorporated herein
as if set forth at length.
4
7. Dr. William Benko, M.D. recommended to Plaintiff/Father
and Defendant/Mother by letter dated December 16, 2,011 that the
minor child should see a Neuropsychologist for psychometric
testing to determine if the child has a learning disability.
8. Defendant/Mother is agreeable to permitting the minor
child see a Neuropsychologist for psychometric testing.
9. Plaintiff/Father is not agreeable to permitting the
minor child see a Neuropsychologist for psychometric testing.
10. Plaintiff/Father's refusal to comply with medical
recommendations is negligent and contrary to the needs of the
minor child.
11. Plaintiff/Father's refusal to comply with medical
recommendations serves to delay the educational growth of the
minor child creating potential for holding the child back from
school and creates significant frustration in performing
custodial parent responsibilities.
12. Plaintiff/Father's refusal to comp,!_y with medical
recommendations supports Defendant/Mother's belief that
Plaintiff/Father is facilitating the minor child's defiance
towards Defendant/Mother and structured environments.
13. Plaintiff/Father's refusal to cooperate with co-
parenting counseling violates paragraph 5 of the prior agreement
and Court Order for no legitimate reason.
14. Plaintiff/Father's refusal to comply with medical
5
recommendations warrants professional counseling or co-parenting
counseling to recognize the seriousness of the psychological and
other needs of the minor child as recognized by Dr. Benko and
the child's teachers.
15. Plaintiff/Father's inability to make positive choices
for the needs of the minor child are significantly impaired by
Plaintiff/Father's anger and hostility directed at
Defendant/Mother warranting co-parenting counseling for both
parents as required by the existing court order.
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Mother respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court deny Plaintiff/Father's request for modification
of the current custody Order, and further:
1. Direct Plaintiff/Father to permit the child to attend
and participate in any and all required testing to determine if
the child has a learning disability; and
2. Direct Plaintiff/Father and Defendant/Mother to attend
co-parenting classes for a minimum of 5 sessions and as directed
by paragraph 5 of the current order of court; and
3. Direct that Plaintiff/Father and Defendant/Mother share
legal and physical custody of the minor child pending completion
of all required testing to determine the existence of any
learning disabilities for the minor child.
Respectfully submitted,

THE MASTER: Today is Tuesday, May 8, 2012. -<T]:&s
is the date set for a hearing in the above-captioned divorce
proceeding.
Present in the hearing room are the Plaintiff,
Jason P. Mardis, and his counsel, J. Paul Helvy. Also
present is the Defendant, Heidie E. Mardis, and her counsel,
Andrew C. Sheely.
The action was commenced by the filing of a
complaint in divorce on March 30, 2009, raising grounds for
divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. The
divorce complaint did not raise any economic claims.
With respect to grounds for divorce, although
husband filed an affidavit under Section 3301(d) averring a
separation in excess of two years, nevertheless, the parties
have signed affidavits of consent and waivers of notice of
intention to request entry of divorce decree. Therefore, we
will not need to proceed under the two year separation
statute provisions.
The affidavits and waivers will be filed by the
Master's office with the Protonotary's office and the
divorce can conclude under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic
Relations Code.
On September 1, 2011, the husband filed a petition
for equitable distribution. Neither party has filed a claim
for counsel fees or alimony.
The parties, after negotiations, have reached an
agreement with respect to the outstanding claim of equitable
distribution. The agreement is going to be placed on the
record in the presence of the parties. The agreement as
stated on the record will be considered the substantive
agreement of the parties not subject to any changes or
modifications except for correction of typographical errors
which may be made during the transcription. Therefore, when
the parties leave the hearing room today, they are bound by
the terms of the agreement even though there is no
subsequent signing of the agreement affirming the terms of
settlement.
The agreement is going to be transcribed and after
corrections have been made of a typographical nature, the
parties and counsel will be asked to return to have the
parties and counsel sign the agreement affirming the terms
of settlement as stated on the record.
We had an off the record discussion and counsel
and the parties have agreed that they are satisfied to
affirm the agreement verbally after it's placed on the
2
record and will not need to return today to sign the
agreement. The parties and counsel agree that the agreement
can be forwarded to the Court with the order to vacate the
Master's appointment without the agreement having been
signed by the parties. A copy of the agreement, however,
will be sent to counsel and the parties after it has been
transcribed for their file and records.
The parties were married on January 26, 2005, and
separated on March 27, 2009. There's one minor child of the
marriage, and the parties share custody of that child. Mr.
Helvy.
MR. HELVY: The parties have reached the
following agreement:
1. It shall be lawful for each party at all times
hereafter to live separate and apart from the other at such
place as he or she may from time to time choose or deem fit.
2. Wife represents and warrants to husband that
since the separation she has not and in the future she will
not contract or incur any debt or liability for which
husband or his estate might be responsible and shall
indemnify and save harmless husband from any and all claims
or demands incurred by her. The only exception to this
representation by wife is that she acknowledges that she did
take a $2,700.00 draw on the line of credit encumbering the
marital residence after the date of separation and that line
3
of credit is in joint names and will be addressed later on
in this agreement.
3. Husband represents and warrants to wife that
since the separation he has not and in the future he will
not contract or incur any debt or liability for which wife
or her estate might be responsible and shall indemnify and
save harmless wife from any and all claims or demands made
against her by reason of debts or obligations incurred by
him.
4. Subject to the provisions of this agreement,
each party has released and discharged and by this agreement
does for himself or herself and his or her heirs, legal
representatives, executors, administrators, and assigns
release and discharge the other of and from all causes of
actions, claims, rights, or demands whatsoever in law or
equity which either of the parties ever had or now has
against the other except any or all causes of action for
termination of the marriage by divorce or annulment and
except for all causes of action for breach of any provisions
of this agreement. Husband and wife specifically release
and waive any and all rights he or she might have to raise
claims under the divorce code and any amendments thereto
including, but not limited to, claims for equitable
distribution of marital property, support, alimony, alimony
pendente lite, counsel fees or expenses. The fact that a
4
party brings an action to enforce this agreement under the
divorce code does not give either party the right to raise
other claims under the divorce code specifically waived and
released by this paragraph.
5. The parties have divided between them to their
mutual satisfaction the personal effects, household
furniture and furnishings, and all other articles of
personal property which have previously been used by them in
common and neither party will make any claim to any such
items which are now in the possession or under the control
of the other. Should it become necessary, the parties each
agree to sign any titles or documents necessary to give
effect to this paragraph upon request.
6. Husband agrees to transfer any and all right,
title, and interest in and to the real estate located at 82
Bonnybrook Road, Carlisle, PA, now titled in wife's name
alone to wife and agrees to immediately execute now or in
the future any documents or papers necessary to effect such
transfer of interest upon wife's request.
Husband further acknowledges that he has no claim,
right, interest, or title whatsoever in said property except
as set forth herein and further agrees never to assert any
claim to said property in the future.
The 82 Bonnybook Road property is encumbered by
two loans. The first loan is a mortgage with Wells Fargo,
5
account number XXX 3809 with an approximate balance of
$71,000.00. Wife agrees that she shall make all payments on
said loan in a timely manner and agrees to indemnify and
hold husband harmless for any and all liability associated
with this loan.
The 82 Bonnybrook Road residence is also
encumbered by a Sovereign line of credit, account number XXX
0846 that is held jointly by husband and wife. Wife agrees
to make all payments on this loan in a timely manner and
agrees to indemnify and hold husband harmless from any
liability associated with this loan.
The parties acknowledge that it is husband's
desire to have his name removed from the joint Sovereign
line of credit mentioned above and have agreed that there
are certain conditions that may require the home to be sold.
In the event that wife does not take the necessary steps to
satisfy or refinance the Sovereign line of credit within 36
months of today's date, the house will promptly be listed
for sale. In addition, if at any time wife fails to make
the payments on the Wells Fargo mortgage or on the Sovereign
line of credit within ten days of the due date of those
payments, the house will be immediately listed for sale.
Upon request from husband, wife will sign the
necessary documents to enable husband to check on the status
of both the Wells Fargo loan and the Sovereign line of
6
credit.
In the event that either of the above conditions
are met requiring the sale of the home, wife will have 15
days from the date of either of the events set forth above
(passage of 36 months or failure to make timely payments) to
select a realtor and sign a listing agreement. If wife does
not select a realtor and sign a listing agreement within 15
days, husband shall have the right to select a realtor and
sign a listing agreement and wife shall promptly sign said
listing agreement.
Failure of wife to comply with these terms will
result in a breach as will be addressed later on in this
agreement. The home will be listed for sale at a price to
be determined by the realtor. After the first thirty days
each month that passes from the date of the listing of the
residence for sale, the listing price shall be reduced by
two percent until such time as the home is sold.
Throughout the course of wife residing in the
residence and through the period of time when the house is
being listed for sale, wife will continue to be solely
responsible for the mortgage payment and the payment on the
line of credit.
Wife will also be solely responsible for making
all taxes, insurance, and other payments associated with the
house.
7
It is agreed by the parties that upon the sale of
the house, if there are any proceeds remaining or any funds
remaining in escrow on either of the two loans, those
proceeds and the escrow funds will be wife's sole property.
The parties further agree that in the event that
the house sells for less than the combination of the payoff
figures on the loans and the cost of sale and any other
debts and liabilities associated with the house, that
shortage shall be wife's sole responsibility and wife will
indemnify and hold husband harmless for any liability
associated with the shortage or the deficit between the
amount owed on the house and the amount that is received
from the sale.
Wife acknowledges that she is currently making
interest only payments on the line of credit. The parties
have agreed that starting November 2012 wife will make
interest payments plus an additional $120.00 per month
towards the principal. Failure to comply with this
provision will trigger the provision set forth herein
regarding the sale of the house.
Nothing herein shall prevent wife from either
refinancing one or both of the loans or listing the house
for sale at any point in time going forward.
7. Both husband and wife acknowledge that they
have acquired vehicles, and both parties agree to waive any
8
right, title, and interest they have in the other party's
vehicle. Each of the party's vehicles are titled in their
own name.
8. Except as herein otherwise provided, each
party may dispose of his or her property in any way and each
party hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights he
or she may have or hereafter acquire under the present or
future laws of any jurisdiction to share in the property or
the estate of the other as a result of the marital
relationship including, without limitation, dower, courtesy,
statutory allowance, widow's allowance, right to take an
intestacy, right to take against the will of the other,
right to act as administrator or executor of the other's
estate and each will, at the request of the other, execute
and acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments which
may be necessary or advisable to carry into effect this
mutual waiver and relinquishment of all such interests,
rights, and claims.
9. This agreement shall be binding and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and
assigns.
10. Both parties have signed affidavits of
consent and waiver of notice of intention to request entry
of divorce pursuant to 3301(c) of the Divorce Code
9
contemporaneous with the signing of this agreement. These
documents have been provided to the Master.
Upon receipt of an order vacating the divorce
master's appointment as the master in this case, counsel for
husband shall file a praecipe to transmit the record and
file the necessary documents to obtain a decree in divorce.
11. If either party breaches any provision of
this agreement, the other party shall have the right at his
or her election to sue for damages for such breach or seek
such other remedies or relief as may be available to him or
her, and the party breaching this contract shall be
responsible for the payment of reasonable legal fees and
costs incurred by the other in enforcing their rights under
this agreement.
12. Each of the parties shall from time to time
at the request of the other execute, acknowledge, and
deliver to the other party any and all further instruments
that may be reasonably required to give full force and
effect to the provisions of this agreement.
13. This agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties and there are no
representations, warranties, covenants, or undertakings
other than those expressly set forth herein.
14. Any modification or waiver of any of the
provisions of this agreement shall be effective only if made
10
in writing and executed by the parties. The failure of
either party to insist upon strict performance of any of the
provisions of this agreement shall not be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar
nature.
15. The parties accept the provisions of this
agreement in lieu of and in full and final settlement in
satisfaction of all claims and demands they may now or
hereinafter have against each other for their support and
maintenance and also alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel
fees, or for any other provision for their support and
maintenance and also alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel
fees, costs and expenses, and any other charge of any nature
whatsoever pertaining to any divorce proceeding which may
have been or may be instituted by the parties in any court
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other
jurisdiction in any divorce proceeding which may be
instituted by either party in any court in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania or other jurisdiction or any other counsel
fees, costs, or expenses incurred or to be charged by any
counsel arising in any matter whatsoever except for the
breach of this agreement. This agreement shall be construed
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
16. It is understood and agreed that any and all
property settlement agreements which may have been executed
11
prior to the date and time of this agreement are null and
void and have no effect.
17. The respective parties do hereby warrant,
represent and declare and do acknowledge and agree that each
is and has been fully and completely informed of and is
familiar with and cognizant of the wealth, real and/or
personal property, estate and assets, earnings and income of
the other and that each has made a full and complete
disclosure to the other of his or her entire assets and
liabilities and any further enumeration or statement thereof
in this agreement is hereby specifically waived and the
parties do not wish to make or append hereto any further
enumeration or statement.
Each of the parties hereto further covenants and
agrees for himself or herself in his or her heirs,
executors, administrators, and assigns that he or she will
never at any time sue the other party or his or her heirs,
executors, administrators, or assigns in any action or
contention, direct or indirect, that there was any absence
or lack of full disclosure, fraud, duress, undue influence,
or that there is any absence or lack of full proper and
independent representation.

PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW, comes Heidie Mardis (Chestnut) (Mother), by her attorneys, the Community
Law Clinic, and respectfully petitions this court to modify the Order of Court entered on the 5th
day of March, 2012 for custody of Ethan P. Mardis, (the child) born 03/11/2005, a true and correct
copy of which is attached.
1. Mother is an adult individual residing at 82 Bonnybrook Road, Carlisle, PA 17013.
2. Jason Mardis (Father) is an adult individual residing at 817 Hogestown Road,
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
3. Under the existing Order, the parties share physical custody on a repeating two week
schedule. In week one, Father has physical custody of the child from Monday until
Wednesday morning. Mother then has custody from Wednesday until Friday morning.
Father then has custody from Friday until Wednesday morning. In week two, Mother
has physical custody of the child from Wednesday until Monday morning.
4. This Order should be modified because:
a. The child, who requires an individual education plan (IEP) through school, would
be better served by living in Mother's district and attending Iron Forge Elementary
School.
b. The child would be greatly aided by stability during school weeks rather than
alternating custody. To that end, Mother has allowed the child to remain at Father's
house during the week, as the back-and-forth of the current custody schedule was
affecting the child's performance in school.
c. Mother has more time to devote to the child's school work and extracurricular
activities, as it is believed that there are six people living with Father. There are only
two people in Mother's residence.
d. Mother has encouraged counseling through the child's school, whereas Father
has not.
e. Father has not ensured that the child's homework is done in a timely manner, in
violation of the March 5, 2012 custody order.
5. Concurrence was not sought from the opposing attorney, as Father is believed to be
unrepresented.
6. The Honorable Judge Hess has previously ruled in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner asks that the Court modify the existing Order for Custody and
grant Mother primary physical custody because it will be in the best interest of the child.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
JASON MARDIS,
Plaintiff
v.
HEIDIE MARDIS (CHESTNUT),
Defendant
ANSWER TO PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY AND COUNTERCLAIM
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Jason Mardis, by and through his attorneys, Ream, Carr,
Markey & Woloshin LLP, and files this Answer to Petition to Modify Custody And
Counterclaim and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted and Denied. While the existing Custody Order granted the parties shared
physical custody, in reality Father had primary physical custody of Child since
approximately September 2012. Mother has partial physical custody every other
weekend, which is working out well for Child.
4. Answer:
i
a. Admitted and Denied. While Child has an IEP, the parties agreed two years ago
that the Cumberland Valley School system offered more programs for Child's
special needs than Mother's current school district. When Child started second
grade in 2012, he was in special education classes for all subjects. Since that
time, he has moved out of special education for science and social studies. It is
expected that he will also do so for Math by the end of this year. Based upon
feedback from his teacher, it is anticipated that he will move out of the Reading
and Writing special education classes by next year. It is unknown what Mother's
school district could offer that Child is not currently receiving.
b. Admitted. Mother's own averment confirms that Father has had primary custody
since Child started school. In that time, Child has improved academically. Any
significant change from the current status will set Child back academically and
emotionally.
c. Admitted and denied. While Mother has more time due to her unemployed status
for over four years, she has not historically dedicated that additional time to
caring for Child. For example, Child has returned to Father's house on Sunday
evening with unfinished homework after spending the weekend at Mother's
home. Recently, Mother gave Father one day's notice that Child had a project for
Boy Scouts due the next day. Father assisted Child with completion. Father has
always worked flexible hours, which allows him to be available for Child before
and after school, as well as in the evening.
As for living conditions, Father lives in a 4 bedroom home with his wife, Jennifer,
her child, Taylor, who is eleven years old, Child and their two children together,
Cameron, 2 years of age and Noah, 8 months old. (Two adults, four children,
including Child.) Each Child has their own bedroom, while the infant still sleeps
in Father's room. Meanwhile, Mother lives in a 3 bedroom home, with her 17
year -old daughter, Alyssa, and an unrelated adult male, who is presumed to be a
boarder. Mother occasionally takes in boarders to assist with her finances. When
Mother takes in boarders, Child does not have a room or bed, therefore, at nine
years of age, he must sleep with Mother in her bed.
d. Admitted and denied. While Mother has "encouraged" counseling, she has been
inconsistent at best in following through with such counseling. Historically,
Mother raises this as a concern and then notifies Father that he must handle to
counseling appointments. For example, Mother set up counseling with Diakon
and then she asked Father to take Child to the appointments.
Regardless of Mother's behavior, Father is supportive of counseling for Child, if
it is necessary. In addition to agreeing to the above counseling, Father attended
an initial consultation with a psychologist at Children's Behavioral Health
Services. The psychiatrist, Dr. Conte, specifically noted that Child does not need
counseling at this point. The only behavioral issue is specifically between Mother
and Child; therefore, Dr. Conte stated that the only counseling that would be
beneficial would be counseling regarding their relationship. Dr. Conte also
confirmed that it would be detrimental to Child to change schools at this point.
e. Denied. Strict proof of this allegation is demanded. To the contrary, Father and
his wife, Jennifer, who is a special education teacher in the Cumberland Valley
School system, work diligently with Child to assist him with his homework. In
fact, with their assistance, Child has progressed academically, as discussed.
S. No answer required.
6. Admitted.
COUNTERCLAIM
7. The answers to the averments delineated above are incorporated herein as more fully set
forth at large.
8. The best interest of Child will be served by granting Father primary custody and granting
Mother partial physical for the following reasons:
a. By Mother's own admission, Father's had primary physical custody of Child
since September 2012. In that time, Child has improved academically and
emotionally at the school district where Father lives. This is presumably due to
Father's involvement and the stability that Child finally has enjoyed. Status quo
needs to be maintained.
b. Mother and Child's relationship is not stable. Mother and Child need counseling
to work specifically on their relationship, rather than Child needing counseling for
any other issues.
c. Child has a well - reasoned preference to live with Father and is willing to speak
with the Court to state his reasons.
d. Child does not have a bed at Mother's home. He has his own bedroom at Father's
home.
e. Mother is strictly motivated to do this to obtain additional child support. This is
due to the anticipated loss of child support for her oldest child, Alyssa as well as
the requirement that she must refinance a loan on her home by February 2015. If
Mother is unable to refinance the loan, as anticipated, she will have to sell her
home. If she sells her home, it is anticipated she may force Child to change
schools again, which would be the 4th move for Child in as many years as he has
attended school.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff /Father requests that this Honorable Court grant him primary
physical custody of Child.

party. To the extent possible, both parties shall not allow third parties to disparage the other
