physical custody of any of the children or claims to have physical custody or visitation
rights with respect to the children.
11. The best interests and permanent welfare of the children will be served by
granting the relief requested because:
(a) Petitioner is the natural father of the children;
(b) Petitioner has established a relationship with the children;
(c) Petitioner desires to continue exercising parental duties and enjoys the
love and affection of the children;
(d) The children should be permitted to enjoy the love, affection, and

Moreover, on January 5, 2010, Defendant left the children with a neighbor so she could go to the
gym, while at the gym; Defendant realized dinner was in the oven. Defendant then instructed her
eight (8) year old daughter Alexis to go into the house to turn off the stove. Upon entering the
home, the child was met with a home full of black smoke. Such decision making (that of sending
an eight (8) year old child into harms way without any aforethought or adult supervision) showed
a reckless disregard for the health, safety and welfare of the child.
13. Each parent whose parental rights to the children have not been terminated and the
person who has physical custody of the children have been named as parties to this action. No
other persons are known to have or claim a right to custody or visitation of the children to be
given notice of the pending nature of this action and the right to intervene.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court to enter an
Emergency Order granting primary physical custody of the child(ren) to Plaintiff pending the
scheduling of a conference or hearing on the matters alleged herein.
