PETITION FOR LEAVE TO WITHDRAW AS DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL
AND NOW comes Thomas A. Beckley, Esquire, Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire,
and Beckley & Madden, Of Counsel, and hereby petitions the Court for leave to withdraw
as defendant's counsel, and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. In May, 2001, at the request of the Defendant to Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire,
Beckley & Madden agreed to represent Defendant in the above-captioned matter.
2. Counsel undertook representation in the above-captioned matter based upon a
written Retainer Agreement with Defendant, whereby Defendant would pay outstanding
invoices on a monthly basis.
3. In early August, 2001, Elizabeth S. Bccklcy, Esqu!re, of Beckley & Madden,
Sandra L. Meilton, Esquire, Plaintiff's counsel, and Debra Salem of Inner Works, the
parties' family counselor participated in a conference call because Defendant walked out
of a family counseling session.
4. Since that conference call, Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire, has tried to contact
the Defendant numerous times both by telephone and by mail; however, the Defendant
has failed and refused to respond to counsel.
5. The parties' custody conciliation conference date was rescheduled so
Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire, sent the Defendant notice of the same. The Defendant
returned the letter to Ms. Beckley unopened with writing on the envelope. A true and
correct.copy of the envelope is attached hereto marked as Exhibit A and incorporated.
6. Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire, contacted the Custody Conciliator, Melissa
G-reevy, Esquire, explained the situation and requested that she send notice of the new
conciliation date directly to the Defendant.
7. Counsel for the Defendant is unable to communicate with the Defendant
and therefore unable to effectively represent him in this matter.
8. Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire, contacted Sandra L. Meilton, Esquire, about
counsels' desire to withdraw from this action and Ms. Meilton indicated that she did not
have any objection.
Wherefore, Thomas A. Beckley, Esquire, Elizabeth S. Beckley, Esquire, and

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
lg15.3-8, 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 CUSTODY OF
Alexandra P. Pipan September 27, 1986 Father
Audrey M. Pipan September 26, 1995 Mother
2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on December 20, 2001, with the
following individuals in attendance: the Mother, Maxine D. Pipan, and her counsel, Sandra L.
Meilton, Esquire; the Father did not attend.
3. The Conference was scheduled upon Mother's Petition for Modification because
she has plans to relocate to the Chambersburg area, which she intends to do following the
completion of the 2001-2002 school year.
4. Counsel for Mother reports that she served the Defendant/Father with a copy of the
Order scheduling the Conference by both regular and certified mail on December 9, 2001.
Neither the regular mail letter or the certified mail green card has been returned to the office of
Plaintiff's counsel. The address used for service is known to be the residential address of the
Defendant/Father and is the location where Mother has, on occasion, gone to retrieve the
Children for custodial visits or to speak with Father. Mother states that Father informed her
that he did not intend to attend the Conference because he had to work.
5. The Conciliator met with the Plaintiff and her counsel for approximately one-half
hour. During that time, the Father did not appear for the Conference nor did he contact the
Conciliator's office. Therefore, the Conciliator will reschedule this Conference for April 8,
2002, at 9:15 a.m. Mother will, through counsel, serve Father with a letter proposing the move
and a schedule for alternative custodial arrangements as a result of the move. It will then be
up to Father to take action prior to the Conference or to appear at the Conference. In the
event that Father does not attend, the Conciliator will recommend to the Court an Order
No. 01-3302 - Civil Term
permitting Mother to relocate with Audrey and adopting whatever reasonable schedule she
would propose for an alternative custodial plan. Such proposal to be sent to Father shall be
served upon him in such a way as is permissible by the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure
to include certified restricted delivery mail, professional service by Sheriff or Constable, or
publication if necessary.
