ROUNER, SR.,

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 i as
follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN THE CUSTODY O
Austin Robert Snyder-Rouner May 1, 2000 Deborah K. Rouner and David T. Rounerl, Sr.
2. The Petitioner is Brandon Hetrick, who filed a Petition to Modify Custody on Apri 30,
2012, after his Petition to Intervene was granted by Judge Guido in an Order dated March 21, 2 12.
The previous Custody Order in this matter had been entered by the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, .J.,
on September 17, 2000. A Custody Conciliation Conference was scheduled for June 15, 2 )12.
Attending the Conference were the following: Sarah M. Snyder, the biological Mother, and her
counsel, Robert O'Brien, Esquire; Daniel Lee Rouner appeared pro se. Mr. Rouner is the Father
named on the birth certificate; Deborah K. Rouner and David T. Rouner, Sr. were represented by
Michael Whare, Esquire. They are the parents of Daniel Lee Rouner; Brandon Hetrick, the putative
genetic Father, appeared represented by Robert Kulling, Esquire.
3. Brandon Hetrick's Position is as follows: The Petitioner believes that he is the ge etic
Father, based on a test that he obtained independently. He seeks primary custody of Austin, and
claims that he had equally-shared custody of Austin by an unwritten mutual agreement with the
Defendants and that this arrangement continued until October of 2011 after he disclosed the results
of the genetic test. Mr. Hetrick believes that Deborah K. Rouner and David T. Rouner, Sr. are
feeding "Austin negative information." He disputes their representations that Austin does not wait to
spend time with him and says that his conversations with Austin indicate otherwise. Mr. Hetrick
would not object to a Court-ordered genetic test, if the Court would order it.
4. Respondent's Positions are as follows: Counsel for Mother and the Rouners would
like to have a hearing on Mr. Hetrick's Petition to Intervene, as they maintain that their clients were
never served with a Petition and that an Order was entered granting Mr. Hetrick's Petitio to
Intervene without the opportunity for their clients to be heard. Counsel for Mother also indicates that
he may raise the issue of paternity by estoppel if such a hearing is granted. All parties seem to have
a factual dispute regarding Mr. Hetrick's willingness to take a DNA test in the past, as he claims that
he had been willing and Mother claims that he refused. Daniel Rouner, who was named on the irth
NO. 2000-5715 CIVIL TERM
Certificate as Father, may also claim paternity by estoppel. However, he is unrepresented. The
Mother, and David and Deb Rouner, agree that Austin may continue to see Mr. Hetrick whe he
wishes. However, Sarah Snyder and Deb Rouner do not want him to be forced to see Mr. Hetrick
and claim that he is scared as a result of the custody litigation. Deb Rouner specifically represents
that the child put himself in the hospital to avoid custody litigation. Daniel Rouner also believes that
it should be up to the child whether or not to see Mr. Hetrick.
All parties represented, and Daniel Rouner, agreed that a guardian ad litem should be appointed! for
Austin. However, no one indicated a preference as to who should be appointed.
5. The child. Austin is twelve years old and was psychiatrically hospitalized from
May 30, 2012 until June 11, 2012. He has an IEP at school and receives in-home services. His
diagnoses include Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Combined
Type, and Mood Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. He will be receiving emotional support and
learning support services at Lamberton Middle School in the fall. He is being followed by Dr. cott
Trayer of Franklin Family Services for Zoloft. His first appointment is June 25, 2012. All pa ties
agree that Mr. Hetrick continue to be involved with Austin's in-home therapy program so that he can
receive their assistance to the extent that Austin wants to spend time with Mr. Hetrick.
6. There was no agreement to provide any required contact for Austin with Mr. Het ick.
While it is necessary to arrange a hearing in this matter, it is this Conciliator's opinion that the
appointment of a guardian ad litem for Austin would be appropriate and that the Court would be
assisted by information from a mental health professional with regard to how to best address any
reconciliation work that needs to be done between Mr. Hetrick and the child. Based on
representation of counsel, it appears that the parties are without sufficient means for a cus ody
evaluation to occur.
