CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
The pertinent information pertaining to the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
Name Date of Birth
Olivia N. Gohn 05/03/2008
Currently in the Custody of
Father and Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held with regard to this matter on May 19, 2010, an Order
issued July 09, 2010 and a conference was held August 31, 2010 with the following individuals
in attendance:
The Mother, Tara K. Gohn, with her counsel, Max Smith, Esq.
The Father, Jerad S. Gohn, with his counsel, Steven Howell, Esq.
3. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother does not believe that the current situation is
going well. Mother indicated that she had been willing to try the current arrangement, but that
she did not, and does not, want the current Order to be permanent. Mother asserts that Olivia
needs routine, stability and structure. Mother does not believe that the current Order provides
for this. Mother indicates that the Child comes back from Father's very tired and her behavior
is somewhat anxious. Mother offered Father something along the line of an extended
alternating weekend, but that she desires primary custody. Mother requests that the Child
attend day care on a full time basis.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father indicates that he believes that the custodial
situation is going well. There is another child in Father's residence approximately the same age
as Olivia and the two get along very well. Father indicates that Olivia will be going to pre-
school in approximately a year and a half and does not see a significant benefit in Olivia
attending day care full time versus the Child being watched at his residence when Olivia is in
his care. Father indicates that he, at the very least, would like a shared custody situation.
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a Hearing and
entering an Order of Court regarding custody as outlined. It is the Conciliator's belief that this
would be in the Child's best interest. It is expected that the Hearing will require one half day.
6. The proposed recommended Order may contain a requirement that the parties file apre-trial
memorandum with the Judge to whom the matter has been assigned.

legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
SEPARATION. It shall be lawful for each party at all times hereafter to live
separate and apart from the other party at such place as he or she may from time to time choose

party of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of the causes leading to their living apart.

convenience only. They shall have no effect whatsoever in determining the rights or obligations
of the parties.
26. IRREVOCABILITY. It is understood and agreed to by and between the

Defendant
Prior Judge: M.L. Ebert, Jr., J.
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH 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:
Name Date of Birth Currently in the Custody of
Olivia N. Gohn 05/03/2008 Father and Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held with regard to this matter on May 19, 2010, an Order
issued July 09, 2010, a conference was held August 31, 2010, an Order issued September 07,
2010, a hearing was held and an Order issued February 14, 2011 and a conference was held
April 26, 2013 with the following individuals in attendance:
The Mother, Tara K. Gohn, with her counsel, Heather Reynosa, Esq.
The Father, Jerad S. Gohn, with his counsel, Steven Howell, Esq.
3. Mother's and Father's position on custody is as follows: Father and Mother are not
dissatisfied with the shared physical custody arrangement. The point of contention for the
hearing is about which school district the Child will attend in the fall. Father's school district is
in the West Shore and Mother's is in York. Father asserts that Mother has moved her residence
several times relatively recently and is not financially stable. Mother denies this. The parties
were able to agree on several matters at the conference though, including starting a week on/off
schedule, a passport issue and changing the doctor back to Jones Daly. Mother has further
requested a custody evaluation. Father does not see the need for one, will not pay for it but will
participate in the evaluation. Father reserves the right to have his own custody evaluation done
with Mother participating.
5. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a Hearing and
entering an Order of Court regarding custody as outlined. It is the Conciliator's belief that this
would be in the Child's best interest. It is expected that the Hearing will require one half day.
6. The proposed recommended Order may contain a requirement that the parties file a pre-trial
memorandum with the Judge to whom the matter has been assigned.

Custody Evaluation conducted by Dr. MacGregor is in the best interest of the Child.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
DISSERTATION RESEARCH July 1997-Mar 1999
Auburn University,AL;Advising Professor.•Mona El-Sheikh,Ph.D.
Examined children's physiological regulation (e.g.,vagal tone) and cognitive appraisals as moderators of the
relationship between exposure to parental conflict and children's psychoemotional functioning and physical
health. Results indicated a strong relationship between exposure to parental conflict and increased internalizing
and externalizing behavior problems and more frequent physical illness. Support was found for high vagal tone
and adaptive cognitive appraisals buffering children from the negative effects of witnessing parental conflict.
THESIS RESEARCH April 1994-July 1997
Auburn University,AL;Advising Professor.• Mona El-Sheikh,Ph.D.
Examined the effects of conflict participants on children's responses to dyadic background arguments,comparing
father-child to mother-child arguments and parental conflict to parent-child disputes. Results indicated children
responded with similar levels of anger for all argument categories,but were more"sad"and"scared"in response
to (1)parental arguments than adult-child conflicts and(2) father-child arguments than mother-child conflicts.
INDEPENDENT EATING DISORDERS RESEARCH PROJECT Feb 1996-Sept 1996
Auburn University,AL;Advising Professor.•Karla Doepke,Ph.D.
Examined the prevalence rates of eating disordered behaviors within a community sample using an abbreviated
version of the Eating Disorders Inventory(EDI). Results indicated that younger children (11-14) reported
similar rates of eating disordered behavior as older children (15-18),suggesting an underdiagnosis of eating
disorders among younger children within the community.
JoAnn MacGregor, Ph.D. 8
RESEARCH ASSISTANT July 1993-Sept 1993
Auburn University,AL;Supervising Professor.Mona El-Sheikh,Ph.D.
Participated in a study examining children's differential responses to observing videotaped conflicts as a function
of exposure to own familial conflict and interparental distress. Results indicated that children from high-conflict
homes perceived the actors as more angry,and reported feeling more fearful than children from low-conflict,
maritally satisfied homes.Responsibilities included recruitment and scheduling of participants,conducting
experimental sessions with subjects,and coding,and entering data.
RESEARCH ASSISTANT Aug 1991 - Sept 1992
Illinois State University;Supervising Professor.Salvatore Catanzaro,Ph.D.
Assisted with a study investigating emotional and behavioral reactions to situations of loss,threat and challenge as
a function of extreme scores on Negative Mood Regulation(NMR) and Anxiety Sensitivity (AS) measures.
Responsibilities included a review of the literature,preparation of experimental stimuli,conducting sessions with
subjects,and analysis of data.
SENIOR THESIS RESEARCH PROJECT Oct 1991 -May 1992
Illinois State University;Supervising Professor: Joyce Christensen,Ph.D.
Conducted a study to determine the efficacy of integrating repeated trials and coached peer feedback into an
existing social skills group treatment protocol for physically and sexually abused,institutionalized children (ages
6-9). Utilizing the institution's existing coding system,behavioral baseline measures were taken for each child's
disruptive behavior during peer interactions. Results indicated that the integration of within-session repeated
trials of each skill by each child involved in the group,and the use of coached peer feedback significantly
decreased problems during interactions with peers,as compared to baseline measures.
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH PROJECT Sept 1991 -Jan 1991
Illinois State University;Supervising Professor.• Joyce Christensen,Ph.D.
Conducted a study subsumed within a larger-scale study in which the tenants of behavioral economic and
matching law theories were evaluated for support using rodents and the availability of complimentary
commodities. Results demonstrated that the response rates for access to water increased with the non-contingent
availability of food,which was incongruent with the tenants of the matching law,which predicted that response
rates would match the reinforcement contingencies.

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF �
RCS
I. ADMITTED. By way of further explanation Plaintiff(hereinafter"Moth&v) x
moved to East York, York County without providing any advance notice to
the Defendant (hereinafter"Father") to live with her current boyfriend. It
should be pointed out that "Father and Mother are not dissatisfied with the
shared physical custody arrangement. The point of contention for the
hearing is about which school district the Child will attend in the fall"(see
Paragraph 3 of Conciliation Summary Report) so the only issue for the Court
is which school Olivia attends. The sole issue in this case is whether Olivia
attends Hillside Elementary School in New Cumberland or an elementary
school in East York where Mother resides. Yet, the proposed Order states that
the custody evaluator shall make specific recommendations for legal and
physical custody.
2. ADMITTED.
3. ADMITTED.
4. ADMITTED. By way of further explanation, Father filed a Petition to Modify
Custody on March 18, 2013 to specifically address whether Olivia should
attend Kindergarten at the Hillside Elementary School (West Shore School
District) located at 516 Seventh Street in New Cumberland which is just four
(4) blocks from Father's home at 314 11th Street in New Cumberland or
whether she should attend a school in East York where Mother and her
boyfriend reside.
5. ADMITTED. By way of further explanation, on April 26,2013 at the
conference Mother's counsel assured the Conciliator, opposing counsel and
the parties that her office had confirmed with Dr. MacGregor and/or her staff
that she could complete the evaluation in accordance with the rules prior to a
hearing in the first week of August 2013. Nearly a month later, on May 21,
2013 Mother's counsel notified Father's counsel that: (a)the evaluation had
not been initiated; (b)Dr. MacGregor required an Order; and (c) Dr.
MacGregor would not have the report completed until seven (7) days prior to
trial. Father's counsel promptly responded via fax on May 22,2013. Father
does not believe Mother has acted promptly. Father does not agree to waive
Pa. R.C.P. 1915.8 (b)which states:
Any report... which a party intends to introduce at
trial, must be delivered to the court and the other party
at least thirty days before trial.
6. ADMITTED. The April 3 oth Order specifically places the financial obligation
on Mother because it states "Mother shall have the right to have a custody
evaluation performed as long as she pays for the evaluation..." Emphasis
added. The Conference Summary Report states: "Father does not see the need
for one, will not pay for it but will participate in the evaluation." Yet,the
proposed Order now seeks to apportion those costs at a later date. The parties
entered into the April 30, 2013 Order by agreement and Mother assumed the
obligation to pay for the entire evaluation.
7. DENIED AS STATED. Father is without knowledge to know what Dr.
MacGregor requires in terms of an Order but the proposed order is not in
conformity with the form set forth in Pa. R.C.P. 1915.18.
8. DENIED AS STATED. Father has been told the report will be ready seven
days prior to trial but this leaves no time for Father to properly evaluate the
report,prepare for cross-examination or seek professional review.
9. ADMITTED.
10. ADMITTED. By way of further explanation Mother did not include the letter
outlining the reasons why Father opposed the proposed Order.
11. ADMITTED.
12. ADMITTED.
13. ADMITTED.
14. ADMITTED. However, this allegation is irrelevant to the fact that any report
must be delivered to the court and the other party at least thirty days prior to
trial. The language in Pa. R.C.P. 1915.8 (b) is not discretionary because it
uses the term "must"not"should" or"might".
15. DENIED AS STATED. This Honorable Court already conducted an in depth
fact finding hearing before issuing its February 14, 2011 Order and Father's
petition to modify simply requests that Olivia attend Hillside Elementary
School and that Mother return the child's records to Jones Daly Coldren
Pediatricians after unilaterally changing Olivia's doctors to a practice in York
County. Mother has returned the records to Olivia's pediatrician in New
Cumberland and it is difficult to see how any evaluation is necessary for the
Court to determine whether Olivia attends Hillside Elementary School in New
Cumberland or travel all the way to a school in East York.
16. DENIED AS STATED. Father incorporates by reference his response to
Paragraph 15 as though fully set forth.
17. DENIED AS STATED. Father is prejudiced by receiving a report seven days
prior to trial as opposed to thirty days prior to trial. It affords no opportunity
for thoughtful review or proper cross examination. In addition, Mother's
attorney assured the conference participants that her office had already
confirmed the evaluation could be completed in accordance with the rules.
18. ADMITTED. Father incorporates by reference Exhibit"A" as though fully
set forth,
19. DENIED. Father incorporates by reference Exhibit"A" as though fully set
forth.
20. DENIED. It is improper to request exparte relief prior to notifying opposing
counsel and/or provided the Court with the position of opposing counsel In
this case Mother's attorney faxed the petition after she filed it and did not
,include Father's counsel's letter of May 22, 2013.
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests this Honorable Court to: (1) limit the
scope of any evaluation to the school issue since the Conference Summary Report clearly
states at Paragraph 3 that "Father and Mother are not dissatisfied with the shared physical
custody arrangement. The point of contention for the hearing is about which school district
r
the Child will attend in the fall"; (2) enforce the Order of April 30, 2013 which placed the
burden of paying for the evaluation solely on Mother; and (3) require Mother to provide the
report at least thirty days prior to August 8, 2013 as required by Pa. R.C.P. 1915.8 b).

RE: Gohn v. Gohn, No. 2010—294 (Custody)
Dear Heather:
In response to your letter of May 21 St, I do not concur with the proposed Order for
with following reasons:
1. Paragraph 10 of the proposed order waives the requirement in Pa. R.C.P.
1915.8 (b) which states: "Any report ... which a party intends to introduce at
trial, must be delivered to the court and the other party'at least thirty days
before trial." I can not agree to have a report only seven days before trial
because it affords no opportunity for review by another expert.
2. Paragraph 9 states that copies of the evaluator's file will only be provided
upon the payment of reproduction costs. The form order in Rule 1915.18 does
not include this requirement.
3. Paragraph 6 indicates that the costs may be allocated upon my client. My
client did not consent to such an arrangement when you requested the
evaluation on April 26, 2013. In fact Paragraph 7 of the Order of Court dated
April 30, 2013 states: "Mother shall have the right to have a custody
evaluation performed so long as she pays for the evaluation..." [emphasis
added]. Therefore, the cost is and always will be upon your client.
When we met on April 26, 2013 you assured us that the evaluator could complete
her evaluation—which we think is unnecessary since this is an issue of whether Olivia
should start kindergarten in the West Shore School District where she has lived since
birth or drive all the way to East York to reside with your client and her boyfriend—
within the statutory time frames. Since my client filed his Petition to Modify on March
18, 2013 to address the school issue we have acted in a timely fashion. If Mrs. Gohn had
wanted an evaluation she should have sorted these issues out prior to May 21 st
Very truly yours,
St n Ho ell, Esquire

August 8, 2013, will be concluded on Thursday, August 29, 2013, beginning at 9:30

Mother and Father are presently governed by the Court's Order of April 30, 2013,
wherein the parties share equally legal and physical custody of the Child.

Moreover, within that Order of April 30, 2013, a Custody Trial has been
scheduled to commence on August 8, 2013.

In anticipation of that Trial, Mother via her attorney, Attorney Heather Z.
Reynosa, has contemporaneous to the filing of this Petition, filed a Notice of Relocation
and Counter-Affidavit.
9.
At this time, Mother believes and therefore avers that physical custody should be
modified and that the Child should be permitted to relocate as such would be in the best
interest of the Child.
10.
Moreover, Mother avers that her motives in wanting permission to relocate the
Child are pure in that Mother believes that the relocation will serve the best interest and
welfare of the Child.
11.
Mother also believes that Father's rights would not be substantially impacted due
to the physical custody schedule he presently agreed to and is actually exercising with

IN RE: CUSTODY
ORDER OF COURT W ,
AND NOW, this 4t" day of September, 2013, after hearing in the matter, pursuant
to 23 Pa.C.S.A. §5323(d) the Court states the following reasons in support of the
Custody Order issued in this case:
1. Both parents will encourage and permit frequent and continuing contact
between the child and the other party.
2. Neither party has abused the child or poses any risk of harm to the child. The
cat that resides in or around the Father's home does not pose any threat to the child.
3. Both parties are very capable of performing parental duties on behalf of the
child.
4. While there is no question that the Father's entire extended family is readily
available to the child, the child views her "family" as a blend of all the individuals in both
Father and Mother's home to include each party's significant other and Scott Kraft's
daughter, Riley. The Court does not find that allowing Mother to have physical custody
of the child during the school year will have any significant impact upon the child's
availability to Father's extended family.
5. Olivia has formed a significant sibling relationship with Mr. Kraft's daughter,
Riley, who is age 7.
6. The child has not stated a preference regarding custody. As noted in Dr.
McGregor's report, she is very hesitant to say anything negative about either her Mother
or Father. The child, being above average intelligence, is aware of the conflict between
her parents and views her "family" as a combination of the two households.
7. Both parties are very capable of maintaining a loving, stable, consistent and
nurturing relationship with the child adequate for the child's emotional needs.
8. Given Mother's very flexible work schedule, coupled with her greatly improved
financial situation, she is better able at this time to attend to the daily physical,
emotional and educational needs of the child. Additionally, given her training as a
nurse, she is better equipped to address the child's asthma and upper respiratory
problems.
9. At the present time, the parties live approximately 23 miles apart. While the
route of travel between the two homes consists mostly of Interstate 83, it is noted that
this highway is very congested and given the child's school requirements, both current
and future, the Court finds that the distance between the homes is such that 50/50
custody is no longer feasible.
10. The level of conflict between these parties is not great. While the pressure of
this contested custody action has moved both parties to portray the other in a less than
favorable light, the Court finds that for the most part they have cooperated in promoting
the best interest of their child.
11. Neither party has any significant drug or alcohol problems. While it is clear
that there is a fair amount of beer consumption at the Father's home, this has not
affected his ability to provide excellent care for his child.
12. Father's music related hobby and the recording studio he has in his home
pose no threat to the welfare or safety of the child at this time.
13. While Father attempts to portray Mother as financially irresponsible, the
Court finds that Mother's new relationship with Scott Kraft and his family has greatly
improved her economic situation and stabilized her personal life. This has provided her
greater flexibility with regard to her work schedule such that she is better capable of
caring for the child on a daily basis during the school year.
