parent shall have an equal right, to be exercised jointly with the other parent, to make all major
non-emergency decisions affecting the Child's general well-being including, but not limited to,
all decisions regarding her health, education and religion. Pursuant to the terms of Pa. C.
S.§5309, each parent shall be entitled to all records and information pertaining to the Child
including, but not limited to, medical, dental, religious or school records, the residence address
of the Child and of the other parent. To the extent one parent has possession of any such
records or information, that parent shaJl be required to share the same, or copies thereof, with
the other parent within such reasonable time as to make the records and information of
reasonable use to the other parent. Telephone communication between the parents regarding
the child in non-emergent situations shall occur prior to 10:00 p.m.
2. Physical Custody. Mother shall have primary physical custody. Father shall have
partial physical custody arranged as follows:
To commence March 17, 2001, on alternate weekends, Father shall have

arrangements, the party first providing written notice shall prevail for the vacation. For the
No. 01-534
vacation period, the parties shall provide each other with the telephone number and address
where they can be reached during the vacation. The parties contemplate that as the Child is

period of custody Father shall be abstinent from the use of alcohol. Similarly, during any
period of custody or visitation the parties to this Order shall assure, to the extent possible, that
household members and/or household guests shall not be consuming alcoholic beverages to
the point of intoxication. The parties to this Order shall ensure that any person operating a
