COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA NO: 01-7054 CIVIL ACTION - LAW DIVORCE AND CUSTODY ANSWER TO PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY AND NOW, comes Toni R. O'Donnell, Plaintiff/Respondent in this proceeding, by and through her counsel, Law Offices of Craig A. DieM, and respectfully responds to Petitioner's Petition to Modify Custody as follows: 1. - 4. Admitted 5. Denied. It is specifically denied that Father was lead to believe that the prior Conciliation was canceled. In further answer hereof, Defendant/Petitioner was served with the original Complaint for Custody and Order of Court Scheduling Conciliation by Certified Mail, Restricted Delivery, Return Receipt Requested, as per the Affidavit of Service filed of record in this proceeding on January 4, 2002. (A true and correct copy of the Affidavit of Service is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein as if fully set forth.) Moreover, Petitioner was notified of the rescheduled date for the Conciliation Conference by correspondence dated January 16, 2002 (A tree and correct copy of the correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and is incorporated herein as if fully set forth.), which enclosed an Order of Court rescheduling the Conciliation for Thursday, February 14, 2002. (A tree and correct copy of the pertinent Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and is incorporated herein as if fully set forth.) DefendanffPetitioner specifically informed Plaintiff/Respondent just prior to the Conciliation Conference scheduled for February 14, 2002, that he did not intend to appear, and in fact, he did not do so. On the date of the Conciliation Conference, counsel sent Defendant/Petitioner correspondence outlining the resulting Order entered in his absence, same having been mailed to him by first class mail on that date. (A tree and correct copy of correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein as if fully set forth.) Despite prompt notice of the Conciliation Conference of February 14, 2002, and the resulting Custody Order, Defendant/Petitioner did not contact counsel for Plaintiff/Respondent until counsel received the Petition to Modify Custody on June 17, 2002, approximately four (4) months later. Defendant/Petitioner's conduct throughout this proceeding and the related divorce proceeding has been irrational and unacceptable. Defendant/Petitioner has left numerous threatening messages for Plaintiff/Respondent and has repeatedly used the children as pawns in this proceeding, at times questioning them about their Mother's relationships, with some of these discussions resulting in violent outbursts by Defendant/Petitioner. The Pennsylvania State Police are currently investigating the repeated, threatening phone messages that Defendant/Petitioner has left for Plaintiff/Respondent and it is anticipated that the Cumberland County District Attorney's office will be pursuing criminal charges against Defendant/Petitioner for same. Despite Defendant/Petitioner's repeated, unacceptable conduct, Plaintiff/Respondent, to date, has not taken any steps to limit Defendant/Petitioner's contact with his children. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Respondent, Toni R. O'Donnell, respectfully requests that this Court deny Defendant/Petitioner's Petition to Modify Custody, and grant such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.

Paragraphs 1 through 11 are incorporated herein as if fully set forth. 12. Plaintiff seeks primary custody of the following children: Cory A. O'Dounell and Shane M. O'Donnell, whose present residence is 50 Eberly Road, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17241. Cory A. O'Donnell is eight (8) years old, having been bom February 23, 1993. Shane M.

During the last five (5) years, the children have resided with the following persons at the following address: Salne Toni R.

O'Donnell Robert J. O'Donnell Newville, PA 17241 April, 2001 192 Conodiquinet Mobile Estates 1995 - Newville, PA 17241 1997 The mother of the children is Toni R. O'Donnell, currently residing at 50 Eberly Road, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17241. She is currem married, but is separated. The father of the children is Robert J. O'Dounell, currently residing at 299 Pipeline Road, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17241. He is currently married, but is separated. The relationship of the Plaintiffto the children is that of mother. Plaintiff currently resides with: Nalne Todd Chestnut Garrett Chestnut Relationship Children's Uncle and Plaintiff's Brother Children's First Cousin The relationship of the Defendant to the children is that of father. Defendant currently resides alone. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or a witness, or in any other capacity, in other litigation concerning the custody of the children.

Plaintiff does not know ora person not a party to the proceedings who has physical 16. custody of the children or claim to have custody or visitation fights with respect to the children. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be best served by granting the relief requested by Plaintiff because of the following reasons: Plaintiffhas always been the primary care-giver for the children since their birth and wishes to continue to be their primary care-giver. Plaintiff has severe concerns with Defendant's emotional stability and its potentially negative effect on the children due to Defendant's past violent conduct toward Plaintiff which resulted in several criminal convictions. Due to direct threats from Defendant that he intends to abscond with the children and take them to unknown location thereby denying Plaintiff any and all contact with the children. Defendant has not always acted in the best interest of the children when he has shown compulsive behavior and has repeatedly, and at times incessantly, telephoned Plaintiff for no legitimate reason. Defendant's emotional well- being is questionable and the fear is that the Defendant may abscond with the children because he has indicated to Plaintiff that he intends to do so. It is important for the children to continue to foster their close relationship with their uncle and cousin, with whom they presently reside. 17. Each parent whose parental fights to the children have not been temfinated and the person who has physical custody of the children have been named as parties of this action. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Toni R. O'Donnell, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant primary custody of her children, Cory A. O'Donnell and Shane M. O'Donnell to Plaintiff, with partial custody to Defendant, and grant such other relief as this Court deems just and proper. Respectfully submitted, LAW OFFICES OF CRAIG A.
