PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and asks this
court to award her physical custody of the minor child who is the subject of this litigation, based upon
the following:
1 The Petitioner herein is the Plaintiff, Brenda E. Hanner. The Respondent herein is the
Defendant, Steven Cupp.
2 This action involves the custody of one minor child, Caden Maxwell Cupp, age 2, who was
born on 13 January 2002.
3 Since the parties separated in May of 2003, the said child has lived with Plaintiff. Although the
child has seen the Defendant on various occasions, the child has not spent the night with the
Defendant with any frequency.
4. On Friday, I 1 June 2004, Defendant picked up the child pursuant to an arrangement the
parties had agreed upon whereby he was to have the child for the day and return the child late Friday
afternoon.
5 At the time the Defendant had agreed to return the child on Friday afternoon, he refused to
do so. Plaintiff did not know the location of the child or Defendant and was not able to ascertain why
the child had not been returned.
6 Although the Defendant contacted Plaintiff's family over the weekend to tell them that he
had the child, he did not return the child until late Sunday, 13 June 2004. The only explanation for his
conduct which the Defendant offered was that he wanted to have the child for the weekend.
7. Defendant has had difficulties with the law in the past, has been criminally prosecuted, and
has been incarcerated for various criminal convictions, involving illegal drugs. Plaintiff fears for the safety
of the child when with Defendant without her ability to contact the child.
8 Plaintiff believes that Defendant will repeat his unilateral taking of the child in the future
without an order of court to protect Plaintiff and the child.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this court to award her legal and physical custody of the child until
such time as this matter can be presented to the conciliator for further consideration.

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Caden Maxwell Cupp January 13, 2002 Mother
2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on October 7, 2004 with the
following individuals in attendance: the Mother, Brenda E. Hanner, and her counsel,
Samuel L. Andes, Esquire; the Father, Steven Cupp, and his counsel, Jeanne B.
Costopoulos, Esquire.
3. The parties were able to reach an agreement regarding Father having some
time to observe the Halloween holiday and Christmas. However, they were not able to
reach an agreement regarding Father's request for additional time on alternating weekends,
to include overnights. Therefore, a hearing is necessary.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother would like to reduce
Father's custodial time to two (2) days per week, to occur during daytime hours. She would
be willing to have this occur on weekends. However, she is unwilling to allow the child to be
with Father overnight. She bases her objection on allegations of Father's past history of
drug dealing and on a shooting incident which occurred at his home in October 2003. She
believes that he continues to sell drugs to support himself and that his alleged continued
association with the drug trade would present a danger to the parties' two year old son.
Mother believes that she is entitled to have Father prove that he is fit and that he presents
no risk to the child.

5. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father wants to have an alternating
weekend schedule from Friday to Sunday in addition to a couple of evenings during the
week. Father believes Mother's resistance is based on his having entered a relationship
with another female to whom he now has a new child. He reports that there has been a
history of domestic violence between the parties with him being in the role of victim.
Additionally, he believes that Mother continues to use marijuana as he alleges she did
during the parties' relationship. Father reports that he has been off parole now for one year
and does not believe that he presents any risk to the minor child. Accordingly, he seeks a
traditional partial custody schedule.

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Caden Maxwell Cupp January 13, 2002
Mother
2. Mother filed a petition on August 13, 2005. A Custody Conciliation
Conference was scheduled for September 15, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. Attending the Conference
were: the Mother, Brenda E. Hanner, and her counsel, Samuel L. Andes, Esquire. Less
than one hour prior to the Conference time the Conciliator's office received a message from
Father's counsel of record, Jeanne B. Costopoulos, Esquire, that he was out of the area and
would not be attending or participating in the Conference. He instructed his counsel that he
did not want her to represent him at the Conference and that the Order Mother requested
could be entered and he would pursue it later if he desired. The Conciliation had been
rescheduled from September 2, 2005 at the request of Attorney Costopoulos due to
scheduling conflicts with other hearings.
3. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother reports that Father has
moved and refuses to provide an address or telephone number where he can be reached.
He has, however, been in contact with her and indicated that he may have been living in
New Jersey. He has also informed her that his fiance and child are residing in Texas and
that he would be spending a lot of time there. He apparently told Mother that he would not
oppose the Order and did not want to pursue time with Caden presently. Mother wants to
have Father's periods of partial custody as provided in the Order of December 16, 2004
suspended with a proviso that Father's partial custodial schedule may be re-established in
the event that he desires to schedule in the future and the parties are not then able to agree
on the schedule.
