vs.
MELISSA L. RYAN,
Defendant
COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
AND NOW, this /rf'day of May, 2004, comes the Plaintiff, Jamie L. Short, and
respectfully requests the following:
1. Your Plaintiff is Jamie L. Short, father of the minor child, who currently resides at
603 Market Street, New Cumberland, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. The Defendant is Melissa L. Ryan, mother of the minor child, who currently
resides at 141 Southside Drive, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The Plaintiff and Defendant were previously married and as a result of said
marriage, one child was born, namely Courtney Jean Short, born March 24, 2000, in
Pennsylvania.
4. There are no custody orders in effect at this time.
5. The Plaintiff, Jamie L. Short, believes it is in the best interest of their daughter,
Courtney Jean Short, that equal physical custody be granted to him and the
Defendant, Melissa L. Ryan, with the Plaintiff providing care for ~heir daughter for
one week, followed by the Defendant providing care for their daughter for the next
week, and so on, alternating weeks.
6. The Plaintiff and the Defendant each have homes with suitable arrangements for
the minor child to reside with both parents_
1
7. The minor child has resided at the following addresses over the last five years:
233 West Ridge Street
Carlisle, PA 17013
14 Hidden Noll Road
Carlisle, PA 17013
411 Geary Avenue
New Cumberland, PA 17070
141 Southside Drive
Newville, PA 17241
603 Market Street
New Cumberland, PA 17070
8. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County has jurisdiction as the
Defendant, Plaintiff, and minor child resides in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
9. There has been no prior action for custody of the minor child.
10. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting
the custody requested because it would establish a stable environment with consistency
and familiar family surroundings for Courtney. This would allow each parent to develop
a strong relationship with Courtney, as well as have Courtney feel loved and accepted
by all of her family members. Equally shared custody would also prevent Courtney from
being switched back and forth numerous times a week, and allow her to settle into each
of the homes.
WHEREFORE, your Plaintiff, Jamie L. Short, respectfully asks your Honorable
Court to grant equally shared custody of the child, Courtney Jean Short.

DEFENDANT'S PETITION TO CHANGE CUSTODY
Petitioner-Defendant, MELISSA L. RYAN, by her attorney, Taylor P. Andrews, Esquire, of
Andrews & Johnson respectfully represents:
1) Melissa L. Ryan is a married adult who lives at 141 Southside Drive, Newville, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania 17241 (Penn Township) with her husband, Kevin Ryan, their child, Cameron
Ryan (one year of age) and Courtney Jean Short, date of birth March 24, 2000, the subject of this
proceeding.
2) Jamie L. Short is a married adult who lives at 603 Market Street, New Cumberland,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17070 with his wife, Heather, her son, Ian (age 6) (alternate
weeks) and Courtney Jean Short, the subject of this proceeding.
3) All prior pleadings to this docket number are incorporated herein by reference to establish
jurisdiction of this Cumberland County Court of this custody action.
4) Petitioner and Respondent are parents of Courtney Jean Short, date of birth March 24,2000
and custody is currently determined by a Temporary Order of Court dated September 30, 2004. [A
copy of this existing Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.]
5) Petitioner seeks a change in the current custody arrangement from the shared physical
custody to an order granting Petitioner primary physical custody subject to partial custody by
Respondent. Petitioner seeks this changes for the following reasons:
a) Courtney Jean Short has developed a medical condition that requires a consistent diet and a
consistent communication about diet. The current shared physical custody has resulted in
non-compliance with doctors' directions while Courtney has been in the custody of her
father.
b) The current shared custody arrangement has stressed Courtney Jean Short and she has
developed a disorder requiring greater stability and less conflict in her home.
c) While in the custody of her father, Courtney Jean Short has witnessed repeated conflict
between her father and stepmother and this has had a negative effect on Courtney.
d) Jamie L. Short and his wife, Heather Short, have related to Petitioner, Melissa Ryan, in such
a disrespectful way that the current shared custody arrangement has become difficult and
stressful for Courtney Jean Short.
e) Courtney Jean Short would benefit from increased household stability by remaining in the
home of Petitioner for increased periods of time.
WHEREFORE, Defendant-Petitioner, Melissa L. Ryan, respectfully requests this Court to
modify the existing Order by awarding primary physical custody of Courtney Jean Short to Mother
subj ect to partial custody by Father.
Respectfully submitted,

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Courtney G. Short
March 24, 2000
Mother and Father
2. The parties' third Custody Conciliation Conference was held on September 21,
2006. Present for the Conference were: the Father, Jamie L. Short, and his counsel,
Melissa Van Eck, Esquire; the Mother, Melissa L. Ryan, and her counsel, Taylor P.
Andrews, Esquire.
3. Mother's Position on Custody is as Follows: Mother filed a Petition to Modify
Custody on June 19, 2006. Mother is married and resides with her husband and one-year
old son in Newville, Pennsylvania. She seeks primary custody of Courtney, who is a
student at Big Spring School District. The most recent previous Order in this case was
entered September 30, 2004 by Judge Bayley. Mother seeks primary custody because
Courtney has developed a medical condition (reflux) which requires a special diet and
extensive parental communication. Mother claims that Father has refused to follow
directions of the various medical professionals who have been involved with the child. It is
thought that the conflict between Father and his new wife, the child and Father's new wife,
and between the parties is causing stress for this child which is impacting her medical
condition. Mother believes the child needs more stability and to spend more time with her.
The child has been participating in counseling with Pamela McDermott at Mazetti and
Sullivan. She is also under the care of Dr. Barbara Sumbatian. It has been recommended
that the parties receive mobile therapy which would be in-home delivery of mental health
care services. While Mother acknowledges that the child has improved since the time of the
filing of the Petition, Mother points out that just a few days ago the child was feeling anxious
on the day of a custodial exchange, hid her breakfast food and then lied about it to her
Mother.
.....
NO. 04-2075 CIVIL TERM
4. Father's Position on Custody is as Follows: Father opposes the change to
primary physical custody to Mother. Father is married and lives with his wife and, on
alternating weeks, his wife's child to a prior relationship. Father sees things as much
improved for Courtney and reports that she has been released from the care of the
gastroenterologist who had been caring for Courtney. She is no longer in need of
medication. Father reports that Courtney is eating well and doing well in school. Father
reports that he and Mother are both participating in Courtney's therapy by taking her to
appointments with Pam McDermott. He does not view the May 2006 report of Dr.
Sumbatian as reflective of present conditions because he believes that things are much
improved now from what they were at the time. Father does not want to agree to mobile
therapy until he has an opportunity to speak with Ms. McDermott (on October 3, 2006) and
Dr. Sumbatian. If they recommend that the family go forward with the mobile therapy,
Father will agree. The appointment for evaluating the mobile therapy need is October 10,
2006. Father resides in New Cumberland and works at Holy Spirit Hospital as a nurse. He
works four 12-hour shifts every two weeks. There is about a 45-minute drive between
Father's residence and the child's school.
5. Because the parties have not reached an Agreement with regard to Mother's
Petition to shift from an equally shared physical custody schedule to a primary physical
custody schedule for Mother, the parties are in need of a one-day hearing. Counsel have
stipulated that any professional witnesses that may be called shall be permitted to testify by
telephone.

1. Petitioner has filed a Complaint to Change Custody of Courtney G. Short, age 6 ~
years, from the current shared custody arrangement to a traditional arrangement with Petitioner
mother having primary physical custody.

Custody Conciliation Summary Report are attached hereto as exhibits)
3. Petitioner's counsel has been unable to assure the availability of the child's
psychiatrist, Dr. Barbara Sumbatian, to provide testimony at the scheduled custody hearing.
4. Both parents and the child, Courtney G. Short, expect to become engaged in mobile
therapy with a therapist from The Stevens Center with such mobile therapy to commence at each
parent's household in December 2006.
5. There will be insufficient time by the scheduled hearing date on December 13,2006
for there to be any reports as to the benefit of the mobile therapy or of observations made by the
mobile therapist.
6. For the above referenced reasons Petitioner seeks a continuance of at least 60 days for
the scheduled custody hearing in the above captioned case.
7. The counsel for the Respondent-father, Melissa L. Van Eck, Esquire concurs in this
request for a continuance.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays your Honorable Court to continue the custody hearing in the
