PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
AND COMES NOW, the Petitioner, Marc C. Gualtieri, by and through his attorneys,
James, Smith, Dietterick & Connelly, LLP by John J. Connelly, Jr., Esquire, and files the following
Petition to Modify Custody and in support thereof, respectfully represents as follows:
1. The Petitioner is Marc C. Gualtieri, who currently resides at 1903 Princeton
Avenue, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. The Respondent is Audrey A. Gualtieri, who currently resides at 5165 Wertzville
Road, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
3. The parties are the parents of three minor children: Travis M. Gualtieri, born May
11, 1992; Abagayle D. Gualtieri, born October 7, 1993; and Noah J. Gualtieri, born October 22,
1996..
4. An Order was entered by agreement of the parties dated November 1, 2004. A copy
of said Order is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A".
5. There are periods of custodial time which are not addressed in the Order and the
Order itself, after practical implementation, has proved unworkable. It is necessary for the Court to
modify the Order to address the entire custodial situation.
6. The existing Order provides for the division of Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter
without detail and does not address other major holidays, nor is it specific as to vacations.
7. The Petitioner believes and therefore avers that it was the parties' intent, when
entering the Order, to equally share legal and physical custody of the children, however, because of
the wording of the Order, the goal of the parties has not been accomplished.
WHEREFORE, your Petitioner, Marc C. Gualtieri, respectfully requests that the Court
modify the existing Order to add specific details and establish a workable, equally shared custody
arrangement between the parents.

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 CUSTODY OF
Travis M. Gualtieri May 11, 1992 shared
Abagayle D. Gualtieri October 7, 1993 shared
Noah J. Gualtieri October 22, 1996 shared
2. A Conciliation Conference was held February 8, 2005 with the following
individuals in attendance: The Father, Marc C. Gualtieri, with his counsel, John J.
Connelly, Jr., Esquire, and the Mother, Audrey A. Gualtierii, with her counsel, James G.
Nealon, III, Esquire.
3. The Honorable Kevin A. Hess previously entered an Order of Court
pursuant to stipulation of the parties on November 1, 2004. Father has filed a Petition to
Modify Custody and Mother has filed a Petition to Relocate.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal and
shared physical custody. Father sought a modification because he believed his custodial
time was being diminished since mother recently changed her work schedule. Father is
opposed to Mother's relocation. When the parties first separated, father rearranged his
work schedule so that he could be with the children during the week since that is when
mother worked. Father works every weekend. Mother has recently changed her work
schedule and the language of the existing Order is ambiguous but could be read to give
mother more time than originally anticipated. With regard to relocation, Mother seeks to
move to the state of Washington with her fiancee who is in the Navy. Father maintains
that it is in the children's best interest to remain in Cumberland County as they have lived
here their entire lives, have attended the same schools all of their lives and all of mother's
extended family lives here. The parties have agreed to a custody evaluation by Arnold
Shienvold, which they will share the costs thereof.
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal
custody and primary physical custody with Father having an extended period in the
summer and spring and Christmas breaks. Mother wishes to relocate to Washington
State. Mother asserts that once she and her fiancee are married and relocate, the
household income will triple. Mother indicates that she will not relocate without the
children. If she does not relocate, she is seeking an Order similar to the one currently in
place.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and maintaining the current Order which granted. the parents shared legal
custody, and shared physical custody. (Mother has 9 overnights in 14 days, but Father has
the children during the day.) It is expected that the Hearing; will require one day.

a. Father will have the children for the entire school year except as
specifically set forth below.
b. Mother will have the children for the summer school vacation beginning
one week after school ends until ten (10) days before the children :return to school.
C. The parties shall alternate the Thanksgiving school holiday with the Father
having Thanksgiving in odd numbered years and the Mother in even numbered years. During
years in which Mother has the Thanksgiving holiday, the children will travel to Mother's home
on the Tuesday preceding Thanksgiving and shall return on the Monday following Thanksgiving.
;sa?r-{l? lla
d. During odd numbered years, Mother will have the Christmas school
vacation from the day school is out until two (2) days before school is in session, at which point
the children shall return to the custody of their Father. In even numbered years, Father will have
the Christmas school vacation. If Mother returns to the area during the Christmas vacation in
even numbered years, she shall have the children from December 27`h until the evening before
school begins. In even numbered years, Mother will have the alternative, with the agreement of
the children, to fly back to Washington State or another agreed upon location with the children
for the period of December 27th until two (2) days before school begins.
e. Mother shall have each Easter/Spring break: holiday. Father shall arrange

on an alternating year basis. For example, should Mother exercise the week of each of the
children's birthdays during 2006, her four (4) weeks in 2007 would not encompass the birthdays
of the children. During Mother's weekly periods of custody referred to in this paragraph, Father
shall have a right to access to the children several times during the week by taking them to lunch
during the school day.
5. Father will provide the maternal grandparents access to the minor children during

respective residences with webcams so that the children can communicate effectively and
regularly with the parent not in custody.
The parents will work together to ensure whenever possible that the children will
not miss major school activities or events when implementing this schedule.

Each party shall speak respectfully of the other whether it is believed the other
reciprocates or not. Each parental figure shall refer to the other by the appropriate role

the other parent may obtain information from the children's schools, physicians,
psychologists, or other individuals concerning their progress and welfare.

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR
UPDATED CUSTODY EVALUATION
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Marc C. Gualtieri, by and through his counsel, John J.
Connelly, Jr., Esquire of James, Smith, Dietterick & Connelly, LLP and files this Emergency
Petition for Updated Custody Evaluation and avers as follows:
1. Petitioner is Marc C. Gualtieri, Defendant in the above-captioned action,
hereinafter referred to as "Father".
2. Respondent is Audrey A. Gualtieri, Plaintiff in the above-captioned action,
hereinafter referred to as "Mother".
3. On December 21, 2005, after three separate days of hearings on August 4, 2005,
August 17, 2005 and August 19, 2005, the Court entered an Order in this matter as a result of a
hearing, a copy of which is attached marked as Exhibit "A".
4. At the time of one of the hearings in this matter. Dr. Arnold Shienvold testified
from a report prepared on May 26, 2005.
Approximately two (2) years have elapsed since the date of the report of Dr.
Shienvold.
6. Mother has again petitioned to relocate two of the children Abagayle D. Gualtieri,
born October 7, 1993 and Noah J. Gualtieri, born October 22, 1996 to the State of Washington
which was the issue at the prior hearings.
7. At the time of the custody conciliation, counsel for Father requested that Dr.
Shienvold be ordered to update his evaluation since the basis of the request of the Mother is the
preference of the children.
At the time of the conciliation conference, Mother suggested the possibility of
appointing a guardian ad litem.
9. Your Petitioner/Father believes and therefore avers that it is in the best interest of
the children and in the interest of judicial economy, that an updated evaluation be done and that
the children be interviewed prior to their summer custody with their Mother which will begin on
June 12, 2007.
10. Interviews with the Mother can occur over the telephone during the summer and
the children can again be interviewed by Dr. Shienvold upon their return.
11. Custody of the oldest child, Travis M. Gualtieri, born may 11, 1992, is not being
contested by the Mother.
12. Immediate action is necessary as previously referenced because the children will be
going to their Mother for her summer custodial period beginning June 12, 2007. Mother has
indicated her financial inability to fly back for the evaluation during the summer and, even though
2
Father is financially burdened as well, he believes it is in the best interest of the children that the
evaluation occur and is willing to pay a disproportionate share of the cost.
WHEREFORE, your Petitioner requests the Honorable Court enter an Order directing Dr.
Arnold T. Shienvold to update his report of May 26, 2005, do the necessary interviews and make
recommendations regarding the relocation of Abagayle D. Gualtieri, born October 7,1993 and
Noah J. Gualtieri, born October 22, 1996 to the State of Washington. The Petitioner also requests
that the Court allocate the cost of the update by Dr. Shienvold.

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 CUSTODY OF
Travis M. Gualtieri May 11, 1992 Father
Abagayle D. Gualtieri October 7, 1993 Father
Noah J. Gualtieri October 22, 1996 Father
2. A Conciliation Conference was held May 10, 2007 with the following
individuals in attendance: The Mother, Audrey A. Buehring, formerly Audrey A.
Gualtieri, with her counsel, Lesley J. Beam, Esquire, and the Father, Marc C. Gualtieri,
with his counsel, John J. Connelly, Jr., Esquire.
3. The Honorable Kevin A. Hess previously entered an Order of Court dated
December 21, 2005 after denying Mother's Petition to relocate, providing for shared legal
custody, Father having primary physical custody and Mother having most of the summer,
holidays and school breaks.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal and
primary physical custody of Abagayle and Noah. She maintains that the children have
made new friends in Washington state and they have expressed a desire to relocate with
Mother. Mother also requests a Guardian ad litem be appointed for the children. Mother
opposes Father's request for an updated custody evaluation by Dr. Shienvold, asserting
that it would be too costly to fly back to Pennsylvania in the middle of the summer for
meetings with him.
5. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father believes that the status
quo should continue. He believes that all of the children have adjusted to the schedule,
that they are all doing well in school, that they participate in extracurricular activities and
are looking forward to activities in the fall, and have numerous friends in this area.
Father suggested an updated custody evaluation by Dr. Shienvold. Counsel for Father
intends to file an emergency petition asking the court to order the updated evaluation.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and maintaining the current Order with one modification, that no on discuss the
custody issues with the children. It is expected that the Hearing will require one day.

MOTION TO PERMIT TESTIMONY BY TELEPHONE
AND NOW comes the Plaintiff, Audrey A. Buehring (formerly Gualtieri), by and
through her counsel, Lesley J. Beam, Esquire of Kope & Associates, LLP and files this
Motion to Permit Testimony by Telephone, under the authority of 23 Pa.C.S. § 5411,
and avers as follows:
1. Movant is Audrey A. Buehring (formerly Gualtieri), Plaintiff in the above-
captioned action, hereinafter referred to as "Mother'.
2. Respondent is Marc C. Gualtieri, Defendant in the above-captioned action,
hereinafter referred to as "Father".
3. As a brief history of this matter, an initial custody Order in this matter was
entered by this Honorable Court on November 1, 2004 upon Stipulation, determining the
custody rights of each parent to their children, Travis M. Gualtieri, born May 11, 1992;
1 of 4
Abagayle D. Gualtieri, born October 7, 1993, and Noah J. Gualtied, born October 22,
1996 (hereinafter "the children"). Shortly thereafter, Mother filed a Petition to Relocate,
as her fiance was relocated to Washington state through his service in the United States
Navy. Said Petition was subsequently denied by the Honorable Kevin A. Hess on
August 25, 2005. After three days of hearing in front of Judge Hess, a second Order
was entered. Said Order is attached and marked as Exhibit A. No other Judge has
issued a ruling in this matter.
4. Mother filed a Petition to Modify Custody on April 4, 2007; a conciliation
conference was held in this matter on May 10, 2007. The hearing on this Petition is
scheduled for tomorrow, August 22, 2007.
5. In said hearing, Mother is asking the Court to award her primary physical
custody of Abagayle D. Gualtieri, the parties' eldest child, partial physical custody of the
other two children, and shared legal custody of all three children.
6. Mother currently resides in the state of Washington; Father currently
resides in the state of Pennsylvania.
7. Pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. § 5411 (a), a party to a child custody proceeding
may offer testimony of witnesses who are located in another state, by deposition or
other means allowable in this Commonwealth.
8. Pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. § 5411(b), a court of this Commonwealth may
permit an individual residing in another state to be deposed or to testify by telephone,
Mother hereby requests this Honorable Court permit the testimony of two witnesses by
telephone, by reason of their residence in the states of Texas and Washington.
2 of 4
9. Mother requests that this Honorable Court permit the testimony by
telephone of her father-in-law, Gene Buehring. Mr. Buehring resides in Baytown,
Texas, and thus will be unable to appear in Court in Pennsylvania. Mother requests this
testimony as her husband is overseas on deployment in the United States Navy, and is
unable to testify. Mother feels it is important that the Court hear the testimony of an
individual who can testify as to the character of the children's stepfather, Joe Buehring,
and can testify as to Joe's relationship with the children.
10. Mother also requests that this Honorable Court permit the testimony of her
neighbor, Deanna Hilse. Deanna resides in Poulsbo, Washington, and thus will be
unable to appear in Court in Pennsylvania. Mother requests this testimony as it is
important for the Court to receive testimony from someone who has observed the
children in Washington, and has direct knowledge of the neighborhood in which they
would live.
11. These witnesses should be permitted to testify so that the Court is able to
make the fullest possible inquiry into the pertinent facts and circumstances surrounding
the parties, including their character and fitness and the type of home they can offer.
Tettis v. Boyum, 317 Pa. Super. 8 (1983).
12. Counsel for Defendant and this Honorable Court have been provided with
the address, phone number and summary of expected testimony for each of these
witnesses within Plaintiffs Pretrial Memorandum.
13. Immediate action is necessary on this Motion as the hearing is scheduled
to beginning tomorrow morning, August 22, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
3 of 4
14. Counsel for Defendant has been contacted regarding this Motion and
does not concur in Plaintiffs request.
