SHANNON L. MANDERBACH,
Defendant
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMAFIY 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
Dylan J. Manderbach
Ryan J. Manderbach
February 19,1999
March 1,2001
cURRE:NTL Y IN THE CUSTODY OF
Mother
Mother
2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on September 7, 2004 following
Father's Complaint for Custody filed on July 28, 2004. The parties separated in May, 2004.
Attending the Conference were: the Father, Eric J. Manderbach, and his counsel, Barbara
Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire; the Mother, Shannon L. Manderbach, and her counsel, Samuel L.
Andes, Esquire.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father reports he has been an
active and involved parent. Since the parties' separation, hEl reports difficulty in arranging
periOds of custody with the children. He has elected to accept the limited periOds of partial
custOdy to which Mother has agreed, knowing that a Custod~' Conciliation Conference was
pending. Father's is employed fulltime at Red Lobster. He holds a management position
which allows him to have control in setting his schedule. Father seeks equally shared
custodial time to include week nights and weekends so that he has the opportunity to
partiCipate in the children's bedtime and morning routines as well as getting the oldest child
ready for kindergarten in the morning. He would prefer to haVE! overnight periods of custody
during the week, rather than returning the children to their Mother in order to give him more
time with the children to partiCipate in these activities. He prefers fewer custodial
exchanges for the children. Because of Father's ability to control his Work schedule, Father
represents that he is able to get the children to daycare or school on time if he were to have
custody during the week.
NO. 04-3689 CIVIL TERM
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother reports that she has been
the primary caregiver of the children, a role which she wants to maintain. She is employed
as a Court Reporter out of the home. The oldest child attends full-time kindergarten from
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The younger child is in full-time daycare. Mother's work schedule is
described as fluid and is requiring her to be out of the home only three days per week.
Mother has no objection to Father having custody in accordance with the weekend schedule
or additional time when the children do not have school the next day. However, she
believes the children have a schedule which necessitatEis their Sleeping at her home in
order to be ready for school the next morning. She finds Father's proposal of two overnight
days per week too disruptive to the children and believes that it would be detrimental to the
children to have too much back and forth between her home and Father's home.
Alternatively, she has indicated a willingness to have FathEir see the children for a period of
three and a half hours on two occasions per week, in addition to his weekend periods of
custody. Part of her concern regarding the schedule revolves around the importance she
places on the oldest child getting on the bus at her residence in Enola to attend school.
5. Issues upon which the Darties aoreed: Sharing legal custody and the
alternating weekend schedule.
6. Issues upon which the Darties disaoreec(~ 's request for equally shared
physical cust y, Father having the children overnight {" two ekdays each week.

Dear Judge Guido:
The above matter is scheduled for a hearing before you on the afternoon of Monday,
8 November 2004. The parties have met repeatedly and appear to have reached
agreement which will resolve the custody issue, at least during the school year, and make
that hearing unnecessary. As a result, Barbara Sumple Sullivan, Esquire, who represents
Mr. Manderbach and I are now working on an order which we can submit to you. We
request your indulgence on two matters. They are:
1. We propose not to file the pre-hearing memoranda which are due
on Monday. We feel if we spend our time working out the details of an order
a hearing will not be necessary. If we fail to do thatr we will each then file
a memoranda and you will have them prior to the hearing.
2. The parties have not yet reached agreement for a custody
schedule during the summer months and we would like to reserve a date in
April for a hearing before you if the parties are not able to resolve that issue.
If you would be kind enough to give us a date that you will be available for a
half day in April, we can include that in the order we submit.
Your attention to this matter, and your indulgence with counsel, is appreciated. Please
notify Barbara and I promptly if you are not willing to do either of these things. In the
meantime, we will work on a proposed order and try to get that to you next week so the
hearing can be canceled.

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 children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY OF
Dylan J. Manderbach
Ryan J. Manderbach
February 19, 1999
March 1,2001
Mother
Mother
2. The parties were seen for a Custody Conciliation Conference on October 7,
2005 following Father's filing for a Petition for Modification of a Custody Order on
September 1, 2005. The most recent Order entered in this matter was dated June 1, 2005.
Attending the Custody Conciliation Conference were: the Father, Eric J. Manderbach, and
his counsel, Barbara Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire; the Mother, Shannon L. Manderbach, and
her counsel, Samuel L. Andes, Esquire.
3. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father resides in Mechanicsburg.
The parties separated in May of 2004. Father resides with his girlfriend and her children.
Father petitioned to modify the June 1, 2005 Order because he now has better living
arrangements then he previously had and because he believes the children's experience
with more custodial time with the Father during the summer 2005 went well and was less
stressful for the children than the school year schedule. Specifically, Father found that
having to return the children to Mother at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays created a sense of
feeling rushed. Specifically, he would like to extend his periods of custody which begin on
Tuesday to end on Thursday evening at 8:00 p.m. rather than on Wednesday evening at
8:00 p.m.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother lives in Enola with the
children. While she acknowledges that Father has another more suitable residence and
that they tried more overnight time during the summer custodial period, she is not willing to
~ . I ...
NO. 04-3689 CIVIL TERM
expand Father's custodial time during the academic year. The boys are ages 6 and 4.
Mother suggests that if Father is feeling that the children are being rushed to settle down in
the evening at the end of his custodial visits that he bring back the children half an hour
earlier. Through counsel, Mother claims that Father's motivation for seeking modification of
the schedule is because he wants to pay less child support. Mother's counsel also pointed
out that each party made concessions to obtain agreement for the last Stipulated Order and
that Mother's agreement to expand Father's custodial summer time was a quid pro quo in
order to resolve the matter. Accordingly, she does not wish to reopen the matter and make
additional concessions to Father at this time.
5. Because the parties do not have an agreement with regard to expansion of
Father's custodial time during the academic year, the parties will be in need of a hearing.
Counsel have requested one-half day for this purpOS7~ing hearing, the present Order
remains in full force and effect. (
