The mother of the child is Julie R. Fitchet. She currently resides at 311 Liberty
Drive, Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17257. She is divorced from
Father.
The father of the child is Michael J. Fitchet. He currently resides at 6769 Spring
Road, Shermansdale, Perry County, Pennsylvania, 17090. He is divorced from Mother.
4. The relationship of plaintiff to the child is that of Father. The plaintiff currently
resides with his significant other, Nina Taylor.
5. The relationship of defendant to the child is that of Mother. The defendant
currently lives with the child.
6. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in other
litigation concerning the custody of the child in this or another court other than as
follows: there were very basic custody provisions which were included in the couple's
marriage settlement agreement, which indicated that Mother would retain primary
physical custody of the child. The provision did not include specific periods of partial
custody for Father or address legal custody.
Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the child pending
in a court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
Plaintiff does 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.
7. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by
granting the relief requested because: Mother recently indicated she was planning on
moving from Shippensburg to Maryland with the child Mother has given no indication
that she will share transportation or be open to providing Father liberal periods of partial
custody with the child, once she moves. The provisions in the marriage settlement
agreement regarding custody do not provide for specific periods of partial custody for
Father, and do not address legal custody. Father is requesting a custody Order which
would provide for shared legal custody, would provide specific periods of partial custody
for Father, and would provide for shared transportation Father is requesting a specific
holiday schedule, and reasonable telephone contact Such a request would be in the
best interest of the child, because it would ensure that the child has continuing and
ongoing contact with both parents.
8. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not been terminated and the
person who has physical custody of the children has been named as parties to this
action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the court to enter a custody order regarding the
child.
