2. The Plaintiff/Respondent is Noah E. Sowers, an adult individual residing at 36

3. A custody Order dated June 30, 2009 was entered in the above-captioned case
as a result of a stipulation entered into between the parties whereby the parties share legal
custody of Ryan Sowers (DOB 12/24/1999) and alternate physical custody of the child every
forty-eight hours (a true and correct copy of the June 30, 2009 Order is hereby attached to this
Petition).
4. Defendant seeks to modify the current custody order to grant her primary
physical custody and grant her permission to relocate to the Mechanicsburg area.
P70- dd
15 !5-
S. Defendant seeks to move to Mechanicsburg which is closer to her place of
employment and will decrease the amount of money that she spends toward her commute to
work.
6. Defendant recently became engaged and is planning to move into an apartment
with her new fiancee' which will decrease the bills and financial strain on her that she has due
to having to pay for all of her bills at the residence she currently maintains herself.
7. Defendant believes and avers that the living situation in Mechanicsburg will
benefit Ryan because her and her fiancee will be able to provide a stable home for Ryan.
8. Defendant has a sister who lives in the Mechanicsburg area who would assist in
watching Ryan or provide him with rides if the necessity arose.
9. Defendant has concerns about the living conditions at Plaintiff's home and fears
for Ryan's health and safety during the times that he is in Plaintiff's custody.
10. Defendant has concerns about the people who the Plaintiff has around the
children while they are in Plaintiff's custody. The child has reported to the Defendant that
Plaintiffs friends constantly make derogatory statements about women and refer to them as
"sluts" and "whores" in Ryan's presence.
11. The best interest and permanent welfare of the minor child will be served by
granting her primary physical custody and permitting Mother/Defendant to relocate with the
child to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, which will improve the children's standard of living and
will allow the child to be closer to his maternal aunt.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant her
Petition and modify the existing Custody Order to grant her primary physical custody of the
minor child and permit her to relocate with the child to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
