custody of Emily Weston, born November 21, 1995, David Weston, born October 2, 1998, and Ashley
Weston, born October 10, 2000. Major decisions concerning the Children including, but not
necessarily limited to, their 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 each Child's best interest. Neither party shall impair the other party's rights to
shared legal custody of the Children. Neither party shall attempt to alienate the affections of the
Children from the other party. Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance
concerning the Children 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

3. The Father shall have partial physical custody of the Children every Sunday from 2:00 p.m.
until 6:00 p.m. beginning Sunday, March 14, 2010. At this time, the Father's periods of custody shall
be conducted in a supervised setting with the maternal aunt present as recommended by the counselor,
not due to any safety issue but to promote the Children's comfort level. The Father may have
additional periods of custody with the Children in a supervised setting as arranged by agreement
between the parties.
4. The parties shall make arrangements for the Children to participate in counseling with a
counselor selected by agreement. The purpose of the counseling shall be to address issues related to
the Children's comfort level and the transition occurring within the family. The parties shall sign any
authorizations necessary to enable the counselor to provide information concerning the Children to the
parties or their counsel as relevant to the parties' efforts to establish custodial arrangements which
meet the Children's needs.
5. After the Children have participated in counseling and the parties have obtained guidance as
to the Children's emotional comfort level with custodial arrangements, counsel for either party may
contact the conciliator to schedule an additional custody conciliation conference, if necessary.
6. 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.
