COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
1. Plaintiff is Andrew Robert Sheets, residing at 106 Sholly Drive, Mechanicsburg,

Madison and William were not born out of wedlock. Alisha is the biological child of
Plaintiff and was adopted by Defendant in 1998.
The three children are presently in the custody of Defendant, who's current residence is
unknown to Plaintiff.
During the past five years, the three children have all resided with Plaintiff and
Defendant at 106 Sholly Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
The mother of the children is Jill Kimberly Sheets who's current residence is unknown to
Defendant. She is married.
The father of the children is Andrew Robert Sheets, currently residing at 106 Sholly
Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He is married.
4. The relationship of Plaintiff to the children is that of father. Plaintiff currently resides
alone.
5. The relationship of Defendant to the children is that of mother. Plaintiff has no
information regarding with whom Defendant may be residing.
6. Plaintiff has participated as a party in other litigation concerning the custody of the
children in this Court. The Court, term and number, and its relationship to this action is:
Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas, Protection from Abuse Temporary Order, Docket
Number 2009-3579, wherein Defendant named all three children as protected parties.
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 children have a loving relationship with Plaintiff. Defendant
abruptly removed them from their Father and family home to suit her own needs.
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 as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the Honorable Court to grant the parties shared legal
custody and shared physical custody of the children.
