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 CUSTODY OF
Alexis Rhine
July 2, 2003
Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on September 6, 2006, with the following
individuals in attendance: The Father, Kris W. Kelley, with his counsel, Diane M. Dils,
and the Mother, Rachel J. Rhine, with her counsel, Marcus A. McKnight, III.
3. This Court previously entered an Order in this matter on July 5, 2006 based on an
agreement by the parties at a conciliation conference. A follow-up conference was also
scheduled in that Order, which was the subject of the present conference. During the
follow-up conference, the Father sought additional overnight periods of custody with which
the Mother was not in agreement. The parties requested a hearing to resolve the issue of
the extent of the Father's partial custody.
4. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father seeks to expand his weekend
periods of custody to extend into Monday morning and to have additional periods of time
with the Child during the week. The Father expressed concern that he had been unable to
reach the Child by telephone or did not receive return calls during the Mother's periods of
custody.
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
04-2339
The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother opposes adding overnight
periods of custody during the week as she believes it disrupts the Child's schedule. The
Mother believes it would be best to continue under the July 5, 2006 Order without
expansion of partial custody.
6. The c onciliator r ecommends a n 0 rder i n t he f orm a s a ttached sc heduling a h earing a nd
providing for the Father's periods of vacation custody pursuant to the July 5, 2006 Order.
It should be noted that the Mother did exercise her entitlement to vacation custody under
the existing Order during the summer. It is expected that the hearing will require at least
one-half day with the issues to be addressed to include the Father's partial custody schedule
and the holiday custody schedule.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF

: IN CUSTODY
ANSWER TO PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
AND MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY ORDER
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Denied. Defendant never refused to answer questions about the
SAMIS,
FWNVER &
LIlVDS"
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA
child's pre-school. Defendant's husband answered Plaintiffs questions about pre-
school on this occasion. On October 10, 2007, Plaintiff became somewhat
aggressive, insisting that Rachel had to talk to him before making these decisions, and
telling him that she was wrong for not doing so. Plaintiff did this in the juvenile's
presence.
7. Admitted.
8. Denied. Toward the end of August 2007, Plaintiff asked
Defendant about Alexis being at Head Start. Defendant indicated that Alexis was
going to be in the same Head Start class in 2006. Plaintiff expressed his displeasure
to that, saying that he did not like the teachers and did not approiie of her being there.
Taking Plaintiff's input into account, Defendant told him the next time that they spoke
that she was considering other options since he did not like Head Start. On that
occasion, Plaintiff completely reversed his position, without any explanation, and
insisted that the juvenile be in the same Head Start program as last year.
Since Plaintiff appeared to be irrationally indecisive on this issue, and
since Defendant believes it is in the best interest of the child to be in some education
oriented setting during the day, and since Defendant is the primary custodial parent, a
decision was made to enroll Alexis in the program that is part of the Carlisle Area
School District's vocational program.
9. Denied. As set forth above, Plaintiff expressed his displeasure
with the Head Start Program, indicting that he did not like the teachers and did not
approve of her being there. It was largely in response to Plaintiffs opposition to the
juvenile's continued placement in the Head Start Program that the juvenile was placed
in the pre-school program at the Carlisle Area School District.
10. Admitted. Plaintiff can be listed as an alternate contact person if
he so desires.
11. Denied. On the contrary, Defendant placed the child in daycare
SAIDIS,
FLOWER &
LINDSAY
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA
largely in response to Plaintiff's opposition to the Head Start Program. Plaintiffs
irrational and unexplained opposition to the Head Start Program, and then opposition
to an alternative program, is beyond Defendant's ability to understand.
12. Denied. As set forth above, Plaintiff has been advised of where
the minor child is attending, and it is believed that he has contacted the program
himself.
2
13. Admitted.
14. Admitted.
15. After reasonable investigation Defendant is without sufficient
knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of this averment.
16. Denied. The juvenile has never been punished for eating meat or
poultry. The juvenile has been punished for lying to Defendant. Defendant does not
wish to make an issue of her vegetarianism, but the juvenile may eat in a vegetarian
fashion at Defendant's house and as Plaintiff wishes at Plaintiffs house. By way of
further answer, Defendant believes that forcing non-vegetarian food on the child at
Plaintiffs home is done primarily to frustrate Defendant and to create some behavioral
issues between the juvenile and Defendant.
17. Denied. Defendant's actions do not affect the health and welfare
of the minor child. On the contrary, Plaintiff's aggressive, combative and contradictory
actions in the presence of the child are contrary to the health and welfare of the child.
18. After reasonable investigation, Defendant is without sufficient
knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of this averment. Defendant
asks Plaintiff to work with her in the context of the existing Court Order.
19. Denied. Some requests which were contrary to the Court Order
SAWIS, have been denied. They have been denied not to prevent Petitioner from enjoying
FWNVER &
LUNDSAY additional time with his daughter, but in resistance to his attempts to manipulate the
nr a.u
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA Court Order to the inconvenience of Defendant and her husband.
20. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Petitioner
provided a list of two one week periods of his desired vacation at the end of 2007. It is
3
it
denied that this was in an attempt to utilize his entire three one week vacation periods
with his daughter, but averred that this was done without sufficient notice, as provided
in the Court Order, in order to inconvenience Defendant and her husband.
21. Denied. The vacation request was not agreed to because it was
made less than the three days prior to the vacation per the Court Order. Plaintiff's
requests for short extensions of visits, many of which were just extending overnight to
the next day, was believed by Defendant to be inconsistent with the intent of the
vacation clause of the Court Order.
Defendant has been working with Plaintiff regarding flexibility in visiting
times, even offering that the juvenile could stay over in order to attend her brother,
Garrett's, activities when needed. After the parties had disagreements concerning the
juvenile's diet, Plaintiff contacted Defendant and indicated that there would be "no
more flexibility" and that they would be returning to "the letter of the Order." He also
indicated that his wife now refused to provide transportation for visits.
Until the time that Plaintiff stated that there would be "no more flexibility"
he would enjoy additional visitation time with the juvenile when Defendant had to
attend church related conferences and activities. Plaintiff also enjoyed an extra week
when Defendant went on a mission trip to work on Katrina disaster relief in New
SAIDIS, Orleans. It is Plaintiffs inflexibility and contradictory and demanding positions, that
FLOWER &
LINDSAY has brought the parties into conflict.
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA 22. Denied. Defendant is not in contempt of the Order. Defendant
opposes additional periods of custody and shared physical custody for some of the
following reasons:
4
i
A. On several occasions, Defendant has become aware that
Plaintiff has not been treating Alexis' asthma appropriately. On several occasions,
Defendant has picked up the juvenile and found her having trouble breathing, and on
at least one occasion in a full asthma attack. On that occasion, Plaintiff carried her to
the car, allegedly because she had been sleeping when she arrived, but actually
because she was in an asthma attack. Plaintiff often asks the juvenile, who is 4 years
old, if she needs a breathing treatment and follows her desires and opinions as to
whether or not it is needed.
B. Plaintiff often does not follow Defendant's instructions on
caring for Alexis' health, particularly her asthma, when she is not feeling well but is
going to be visiting Plaintiff.
C. Alexis had a major asthma attack, which required a trip to
the emergency room at lunch time on a Tuesday, which was to be an overnight visit
day. Plaintiff was informed of this and later told that the juvenile could not visit at that
time. He insisted that the emergency room fax a note saying that the juvenile should
stay home. This was done in accordance with his demand. He later called in spite of
that and again insisted that the juvenile should travel to his home that evening.
D. In general, Plaintiff seems to be unaware of the necessity
SAW S, of carefully treating the juvenile's asthma and should have training concerning it.
FLOWER &
LENOS" E. Defendant believes that Plaintiff should have anger
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA
management counseling, so as not to engage in angry outbursts against Defendant in
the presence of the child or against his wife in the presence of the child.
5
WHEREFORE, Defendant request that the Petition for Contempt be
denied.
CROSS PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
Plaintiff has been in violation of the Court Order as follows:
1. Plaintiff took the juvenile to Wildwood, New Jersey, and
Defendant was not permitted to have addresses or contact infgrmation. Defendant
was not advised that the juvenile had arrived safely. Defendant's phone calls to
Plaintiff were unanswered and voice mails were not returned. There was no contact
whatever for at least 48 hours when a call was finally made to Defendant. This is
contrary to the existing Court Order.
2. The existing Court Order also provides that neither party shall
make disparaging remarks concerning the other. Plaintiff has consistently made
disparaging remarks concerning Defendant as follows:
A. Plaintiff allows his wife to tell the juvenile how mean
Defendant and her husband are;
B. Plaintiff and his wife make derogatory remarks concerning
Defendant's chosen vegetarian lifestyle;
SAMIS,
FLO
V & C. Plaintiff allows his wife to shout at Defendant and to slam
LE N
I-MSAY
26 West High Street doors in her face when the juvenile is present;
Carlisle, PA
D. Plaintiff screamed at Defendant when she was picking up
Alexis on Wednesday mornings. Defendant finally had her husband change his work
6
schedule to pick up Alexis to protect Defendant and the juvenile from this repeated
verbal abuse;
E. Plaintiff screamed at Defendant's husband on the phone
when the juvenile was in his home for a visit;
F. Plaintiff does not permit Defendant equal telephone access
to that which Defendant has allowed Plaintiff;
G. Plaintiff does not always give the juvenile messages or
allow her to return phone calls. On the other hand, Defendant has given the juvenile
the phone or has her call back if the calls occur during mealtimes, which is often the
case. Plaintiff has called as often as four times per day on 'weekends when the
juvenile was with the Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that Plaintiff be held in contempt of
the Order of Court and that the following modifications be made in the Court Order:
1. That Plaintiffs continued right of visitation be subject to active and
cooperative participation in anger management counseling, and regular reports by the
counselor to the Conciliator on Plaintiffs progress in anger management.
2. That the guaranteed telephone access between 7:30 and 8:30
SAIDIS,
FLOWER &
LENDS"

p.m. be deleted, since it is too late in the evening, as the juvenile is getting ready for
bed by approximately 8:30 p.m.
3. That Plaintiff be ordered to protect the juvenile from confrontations
and anger outburst upon transition of the child from custody of one parent to another.
4. That Plaintiff be directed to have the juvenile's hair combed and
teeth brushed when she is being picked up.
7
5. That the Plaintiff be directed to provide the juvenile with breakfast
in the morning before being picked up by Defendant.
6. That Plaintiff be directed to have the juvenile properly dressed for
the weather when she is picked up.
7. That Plaintiff be directed to insure that the juvenile get to sleep at
an appropriate time and have sufficient sleep to attend school in the morning.
