DANA SHROY and

Defendants GRANDPARENT CUSTODY
STIPULATION FOR AN AGREED ORDER OF CUSTODY
AND NOW, come the parties, Maurice C. Digrugilliers and Cheryl Digrugilliers,
Plaintiffs, residing at 82 Linda Drive, Lot 8A, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, 17050, and Dana Shroy, Defendant, residing at 631 Oak Circle, Harrisburg,
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, 17111-3238, and Michael Winter, residing at 82 Linda Drive,
Lot 8A, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17050, and respectfully request the
following Stipulation to be entered as an Order of Court:
WHEREAS the parties, Maurice C. Digrugilliers and Cheryl Digrugilliers ("Paternal
Grandparents" hereinafter) desire to have custody of their grandson, Brycen Winter, born March
15, 2010 to Dana Shroy ("Mother" hereinafter) and Michael Winter ("Father" hereinafter).
WHEREAS, the child has been residing with Plaintiffs since birth and it the desire of all
parties for the child to continue residing with Plaintiffs;
WHEREAS, Plaintiffs agree to encourage, permit and allow frequent and continuing
contact and physical access between Defendants and the child.
WHEREAS, none of the parties has participated as a party or a witness, or in any other
capacity in other litigation concerning the custody of the child in this or any other Court.
WHEREAS, none of the parties have any information of a custody proceeding concerning
the child pending in a court of this Commonwealth.
WHEREAS, the parties do not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has
physical custody of the child or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the
child.
WHEREAS, the parties agree that the best interest and permanent welfare of the child
will be served by granting Paternal Grandparents primary physical and sole legal custody of the
child.
WHEREAS, all parties desire to enter into a comprehensive custody stipulation and
agreement setting forth the physical and legal custody arrangements for the child; and
WHEREAS, all parties have been provided an opportunity to review this Stipulation with
counsel prior to signing.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and agreements as
hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:
LEGAL CUSTODY:
Paternal Grandparents shall have sole legal custody of the child. Therefore, they shall
have the sole right to control in making decisions of importance in the life of the child, including
educational, medical, and religious decisions. Paternal Grandparents shall be entitled to full
access to the child's school, medical, dental, and other important records.
PHYSICAL CUSTODY:
Primary physical custody of the child, as that term is defined in the Custody Act, shall be
with Paternal Grandparents. Partial physical custody is the right to take possession of a child
away from the legal custodian for a certain period of time. Defendants shall have liberal rights of
partial physical custody of the child as can be agreed upon between the parties.
MODIFICATION OF STIPULATION:
The parties are free to modify the terms of this Stipulation, but in order to do so the
parties understand the parties must be in complete agreement to any new or changed terms. That
means all parties must consent on what the changes or new terms of the custody arrangement
shall be.
In the event that any of the parties does not consent to a change, then the terms of this
Stipulation shall control.
VOLUNTARY EXECUTION AND FAIRNESS OF THE AGREEMENT:
Each party acknowledges that this Stipulation has been entered into by his or her own
volition, with full knowledge of the facts and full information as to his or her legal rights, each
party having been provided ample opportunity to discuss with independent legal counsel,
regarding the effect of the terms of this Stipulation and that each believes this Stipulation to be
reasonable and in the best interest of the child under the circumstances and not the result of any
duress or undue influence.
SUPERSEDEAS:
This Stipulation shall supersede all prior Court Orders, Stipulations, or Agreements.
ENTRY AS AN ORDER OF COURT:
It is the intention of the parties that this Stipulation may be entered as an Order of Court,
as if a full hearing had been held thereon and enforced pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform
Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, and intending to be legally bound thereby, the parties hereto
have hereunto set their hands and seals and the date of their acknowledgement.
