transfers described in this agreement fall within the provisions of section 1041 of the internal
Revenue Code, and as such will not result in the recognition of any gain or loss upon the transfer
by the transferor.
Joint Tax Returns
The parties have filed joint federal, state and local income tax returns during the marriage.

expense assessed or proposed to be assessed against them on a pro-rata share according to their
respective income levels. The parties also will pay all costs and expenses for defending any tax
audits relating to the parties' tax returns and tax liabilities on the same pro-rata basis. If such

audit reveals that either party was responsible for misrepresentations, errors, failures to disclose,
and/or omissions in the reporting of that party's income, expenses, deductions, interest, etc., then

penalties, which are assessed against the parties as a result. In that event, the responsible party

deficiencies, including but not limited to reasonable legal and accounting fees and costs.

LILLIAN MARIE SCHREIER, CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Defendant IN DIVORCE
MODIFICATION FOR CUSTODY
1 . The Plaintiff in this action is JAMES PETER SCHREIER, an
adult individual, (hereinafter referred to as "Father") , who currently
resides at 1120 Old Mountain Road, Dillsburg, Pennsylvania 17019.
2 . The Defendant in this action is LILLIAN MARIE SCHREIER, an
adult individual, (hereinafter referred to as "Mother") , who currently
resides at 512 Nursery Drive North, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055 .
3. Father seeks shared physical custody of SAMUEL JAMES SCHREIER,
born October 16, 2001, age nine (9) , and BENJAMIN THOMAS SCHREIER, born
May 16, 2004, age seven (7) , who reside at 512 Nursery Drive North,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055.
The children were not born out of wedlock.
The children are presently in the custody of Defendant, LILLIAN
MARIE SCHREIER, who resides at 512 Nursery Drive North, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania, 17055, however, the Father provides nearly daily care for
the children.
During the past five years, the children have resided with the
following persons and at the following addresses :
NAME ADDRESS DATES
James Peter Schreier, father 512 Nursery Drive N birth-
Mechanicsburg, PA present
Lillian Marie Schreier, mother 512 Nursery Drive N birth-
Mechanicsburg, PA present
The mother of the children is LILLIAN MARIE SCHREIER, currently
residing at 512 Nursery Drive North, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
She is married to the Plaintiff.
The father of the children is JAMES PETER SCHREIER, currently
residing at 1120 Old Mountain Road, Dillsburg, Pennsylvania 17019.
Father moved in with his parents until the parties can work out the
financial part of their divorce.
He is married to the Defendant. A divorce action was filed by the
Defendant on July 29, 2009.
4 . The relationship of plaintiff to the children is that of
father. The plaintiff currently resides with the following persons :
NAME RELATIONSHIP
James L. Schreier Paternal grandparents of minors
Linda L. Schreier Paternal grandparents of minors
Page 3 of 7
5. The relationship of defendant to the children is that of
mother. The defendant currently resides with the following persons :
NAME RELATIONSHIP
Samuel James Schreier child
Benjamin Thomas Schreier child
6. Father has not participated as a party or witness, or in
another capacity, in other litigation concerning the custody of the
children in this or another court.
Father has no information of a custody proceeding
concerning the children pending in a Court of this Commonwealth.
Father 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:
(a) The parties originally had their first and only
conciliation before Dawn Sunday, Esquire, on Thursday, August 13, 2009,
wherein they were able to reach a temporary agreement until the parties
could figure out the financial part of the divorce. Unfortunately, since
that time, every time Father seeks to amend or change the order, the
Mother balks . (See attached Order of Court dated August 17, 2009) .
Page 4 of 7
(b) The father has picked up the children from school and/or
daycare and taken them back to the marital home nearly everyday since
date of separation on June 6, 2009. The Father then remains at the
marital home with the children, plays with them, swims with them in
their pool, makes them dinner, does homework and all other parental
duties that would be part of a parent' s day while Mother is at work.
(c) Upon Mother' s return to the marital home at the end of
her work day, the father relinquishes custody of the children to the
Mother once the mother comes downstairs and greets them.
(d) The father is and has been the primary caretaker of the
two children which is evidenced by his daily involvement in their lives
since 2008 .
(e) The Father believes that it would be in the best interest
for the children to be able to take them back to his home every day and
stay overnight with him. This schedule will allow the parties to share
equally in the time with their children. Mother appears to not agree.
(f) The father is able to provide a stable home and family
type environment for the children allowing the boys the opportunity to
spend time with the children' s mother consistent with a schedule the
parties have arranged between themselves .
8 . Each parent whose parental rights to the children has not been
terminated and the person who has physical custody of the children has
been named as parties to this action.
Page 5 of 7
9. This matter was previously assigned to Judge Edgar B. Bayley.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff requests the court to grant shared
or primary physical custody of the children.

interest. Neither party shall impair the other party's rights to shared legal custody of the Children.
Neither party shall attempt to alienate the affections of the Children from the other party. Each party
shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance concerning the Children that could reasonably be
expected to be of concern to the other. Day to day decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent
then having physical custody. With regard to any emergency decisions which must be made, the
parent having physical custody of the Child at the time of the emergency shall be permitted to make
any immediate decisions necessitated thereby. However, that parent shall inform the other of the
