fucking face"), which attack on Father took place in front of the children.
C. In the Fall of 2009, Mother threatened Father with a broom handle
and punched him on the arm while both children witnessed her behavior, crying.
d. Mother has a history of outbreaks of temper, screaming and cursing
violently, hitting Father many times in front of the children, assaulting her own
mother as well as her daughter, Diana, and other members of the family.

report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Children who are the subject of
this litigation is as follows:

Owen Patrick Andrews March 27, 2004 Father
Sawyer Elliott Andrews July 13, 2005 Father
2. A Conciliation Conference was held November 11, 2010 with the
following individuals in attendance: The Father, C. Patrick Andrews, with his counsel,
Carol J. Lindsay, Esquire, and the Mother, Haven H. Andrews, with her counsel, Jane
Adams, Esquire.
3. The Honorable Kevin A. Hess, P.J. previously entered a stipulated Order
of Court dated October 4, 2010 as a result of Father's Petition for Special Relief. The
stipulated Order provided for shared legal custody, Father having primary physical
custody, with Mother having alternating weekends with maternal grandmother
supervising visits. The prior Order of Court dated October 8, 2009 provided for Mother
to have four overnights per week and Father to have 3 overnights per week.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal and
primary physical custody, with Mother having supervised visitation. Father maintains
that Mother punched her 17 year old daughter (not the subject of this matter) in the face,
causing a scratch and bruising. A police report was filed, but no charges are pending.
When that child went to school, school officials notified Children & Youth. C&Y
conducted an investigation but did not find child abuse. Father believes Mother has a
mental health problem or anger issues that require professional assistance. He also asserts
that Mother has a drug and alcohol problem.
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks to return to the
Order of Court dated October 8, 2009, wherein she had primary physical custody on a 4/3
day schedule. Mother asserts that she is receiving counseling. She denies anger issues,
but admits to being previously diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and
Depression.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and maintaining the Order of Court dated October 4, 2010. It is expected that
the Hearing will require one day.
