Defendant : NO. 10 - 185 CIVIL TERM
PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY ORDER c r'
1. The petition of Traci Martin, by her attorneys, the Family Law Clinic, respectfully
represents that on May 10, 2007, an Order of Court in Dauphin County was entered for custody of
Elle Victoria Martin, born August 23, 2001, and Tyler James Martin, born September 10, 2002, a
true and correct copy of which is attached. This matter was transferred from Dauphin County to
Cumberland County on December 22, 2009. Under the existing Order, Mother and Father have
shared custody. Mother has physical custody of the children from Sunday evening through
Wednesday evening. Father has custody Wednesday evening through Sunday evening.
2. This Order should be modified because:
a. The current order does not reflect the status quo.
b. Mother is the children's primary caregiver because she usually has care of the
children from Saturday afternoon through Thursday evening. Father takes the
children Thursday evening through Saturday afternoon, and occasionally on
weekdays for a brief time after the children get out of school.
c. When the children are with Father they are exposed to excessive cigarette
smoke to the point that mother has received complaints from the children's
school about the children's clothing smelling of smoke.
d. Father does not provide the children with appropriate sleeping
accommodations. The children sleep on chairs or couches when staying at
Father's house.
WHEREFORE, petitioner asks that the Court modify the existing Order for Custody and
grant Mother primary physical custody because it will be in the best interest of the Children. In
addition, petitioner asks the court to require Father to provide children with beds and to take steps
to minimize the amount of second-hand smoke the children are exposed to.
