CIVIL ACTION LAW
IN CUSTODY
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 1 e l~ day of ~U O y 2009, upon
consideration of the attached Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed as follows:
1. The Mother, Andrea Aunkst, and the Father, John Aunkst, shall have shared legal custody of
Ian Aunkst, born March 13, 2008. Major decisions concerning the Child including, but not
necessarily limited to, his health, welfare, education, religious training and upbringing shall be made
jointly by the parties after discussion and consultation with a view toward obtaining and following a
harmonious policy in the Child's best interest. Neither party shall impair the other party's rights to
shared legal custody of the Child. Neither party shall attempt to alienate the affections of the Child
from the other party. Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance concerning the
Child 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 emergency and consult with him or her as soon as possible. In accordance with
23 Pa.C.S.A. §5309, each party shall be entitled to complete and full information from any doctor,
dentist, teacher, professional or authority and to have copies of any reports or information given to
either party as a parent as authorized by statute.
2. The parties shall have physical custody of the Child in accordance with the following
biweekly schedule:
A. The weeks shall be divided as follows:
Segment A, which shall run from Friday after work, when the Child shall be picked
up at daycare, through Monday morning, when the Child shall be transported to daycare,
Segment B, which shall run from Monday after daycare through Wednesday at the
beginning of daycare, and
Segment C, which shall run from Wednesday after daycare through Friday at the
beginning of daycare.
B. In Week I of the rotation, the Mother shall have custody of the Child during
Segments A and C and the Father shall have custody during Segment B. In Week II of the rotation, the
Father shall have custody of the Child during Segments A and C and the Mother shall have custody
during Segment B.
C. The schedule shall continue with the Mother having custody of the Child during
Segment A on the weekend beginning October 30, 2009.
D. The parent who is picking up the Child from daycare at the end of the day shall be
responsible to provide care for the Child, if it is needed, due to illness or other exigent circumstance,
during the day.
E. Beginning on the weekend after Thanksgiving, the parties shall switch weekends so
that the Father has that weekend and alternating weekends thereafter. The purpose of this change shall
be to change the weekend alternation so that the Mother's weekends fall on times when the maternal
grandmother is not working and will be able to spend time with the Child.
3. When the Father has a weekend period of custody with the Child, the Father shall return to
his residence in the local area with the Child on Sunday in sufficient time so that the Child is at the
Father's home for the routine bedtime established by agreement between the parties.
4. In the event either party is traveling outside the local area at the time of the transfer of
custody to the other parent, the parent who is outside of the area shall be responsible to provide
transportation to the other parent's residence for the exchange of custody, unless otherwise agreed
between the parties.
5. In the event either party is unavailable to provide care for the Child during his or her period
of custody, that parent shall first contact the other parent to offer that parent the opportunity to provide
the care during the custodial parent's unavailability. The parties agree that the parent receiving
additional time as a result of providing care during the custodial parent's unavailability shall not be
required to compensate the other parent for the missed custodial time, unless otherwise agreed between
the parties.
6. The Mother shall have custody of the Child for Thanksgiving Day in 2009.
7. The parties shall establish custodial arrangements for the Christmas holiday by agreement,
with the Mother having preference as to the part of the holiday on which she has custody of the Child.
8. The parties shall participate in a course of therapeutic family counseling with a professional
to be selected by agreement between the parties. The purpose of the counseling shall be to assist the
parties in establishing sufficient communication and cooperation to enable them to effectively co-
parent their Child and to manage the custodial schedule in such a manner as to promote the emotional
well-being of their Child. Any costs of the counseling which are not covered by insurance shall be
shared equally between the parties. The parties shall participate in a minimum of four joint sessions.
9. Neither party shall do or say anything which may estrange the Child from the other parent,
injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent, or hamper the free and natural development of the
Child's love and respect for the other parent. Both parties shall ensure that third parties having contact
with the Child comply with this provision.
10. This Order is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties at a custody conciliation
conference. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of
mutual consent, the terms of this Order shall control.
