the presence of the child whether the child is sleeping or awake. Each parent shall
speak respectfully of the other whether it is believed the other reciprocates or not. Each
parental figure shall refer to the other by the appropriate role name such as Mom, Dad,

prior to the relocation, where possible. Where a party intends to move more than thirty

represented by Michelle L. Sommer, Esquire. Each party represents that he or she
understands that, in the absence of this Agreement and as a matter of law: (1) as a

Agreement. Each of the parties further acknowledges and agrees that, with such
knowledge, and after having read this Agreement carefully and fully, this Agreement is
fair, reasonable and equitable, that it is being entered into freely, voluntarily, and in
good faith, and that its execution is not the result of any duress, undue influence,
coercion, collusion and/or improper or illegal agreement.

5. An Order of Court was issued on March 17, 2010 regarding the custody of the
children, pursuant to a Custody Stipulation signed by the parties on March 10,
2010. A true and correct copy of said order is attached as Exhibit "A" (hereinafter
the "Order").
6. This Order provides that the parties share legal and physical custody of the
children. Mother has primary custody of the children and Father has custody on
weekends and one night per week.
7. Since the issuance of the March 17, 2010 Custody Order, Mother and Father
have not followed order. The actual custodial arrangement that the parties have
been exercising is one where the Father has had custody of the children
primarily. Father would like to modify the current custody order to accurately
reflect the custodial arrangement that the parties have been exercising and has
been verbally agreed upon.
8. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be served by
granting the relief as requested because:

schedule or routine. The parties have already verbally agreed to this
modification of the custody order;
b. Father is able to provide a stable home and emotional environment for the
children; and
c Father has the facilities to provide for the care, comfort and control of the
children, as well as the intention and desire to do so.
9. Petitioner does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings that has
physical custody of the children or claims to have custody or visitation rights with
respect to the children.
10. Each parent whose parental rights to the children have not been terminated and
all persons who have physical custody of the children have been named as
parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that this Honorable Court modify the Order to
more accurately reflect the custodial arrangement that the parties are adhering to and
give grant Petitioner primary physical custody of the children.
