IN CUSTODY
CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the child who is the subject of this litigation
is as follows:
Terry L. Hefflefinger, Jr., born September 21, 2005.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on October 29, 2009, with the following
individuals in attendance:
The father, Terry L. Hefflefinger, who appeared with his counsel, Lee E. Osterling,
Esquire, and the mother, Jessica L. Hefflefinger, with her counsel, Nick M. Matash,
Esquire.
3. The parties were living together until August of this year when mother relocated to
a home in Harrisburg. Father is seeking primary custody of the minor child and
mother is also seeking primary custody. The parties are unable to agree and a hearing
is required. Based upon the work schedules of the parties and some prior history on
the case, the Conciliator recommends a shared physical custody arrangement pending
the hearing with father having the child over the weekends when he is off work
because mother is not working during the week and has custody at that time.
4. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached.
