2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Denied. It is denied that Respondent is in Contempt of the current Order of Court for the
following reasons:
a. Denied. It is denied that Father refuses to drive the child to the Court Ordered
default location in Fredericksburg,Virginia for scheduled pick-ups and drop-offs
in accordance with%5 and 10 of the Order, and strict proof thereof is demanded
and the same is deemed denied. By way of further answer, as¶5 clearly allows,
the parties have, on multiple occasions,made alternative arrangements to
exchange custody for Mother's monthly custodial weekend. Mother has agreed,
on multiple occasions, to drive to Pennsylvania to spend her weekends with the
parties'minor child, and has in fact driven to Pennsylvania. Additionally, on
other occasions, Father has driven the minor child to the default location in order
to facilitate Mother's monthly custodial weekends. Mother has been able to spend
every one of her custodial weekends with the minor child.
b. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that Respondent refuses to provide
the child's cellular phone number to Petitioner. It is denied that Mother is denied
direct contact with the child in accordance with¶¶7, 8, and 10 of the August 28,
2012 Order, and strict proof thereof is demanded and the same is deemed denied.
By way of further answer, ¶7 clearly states that "Mother shall contact the
Father's telephone" when she is to have her weekly telephone call with the parties'
minor child. Additionally, the minor child has expressed on numerous occasions
that she does not want Mother to be able to call her cell phone, and nowhere in the
August 28, 2012 Order of Court does it mandate that Mother is entitled to have
access to the minor child's cell phone number. Mother has the ability to contact
the minor child through Father's phone, Father's wife's phone, the minor child's
paternal and maternal grandmothers'phones, e-mail, and Facebook.
c. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that Respondent refuses to provide
an insurance card for the child, however it is denied that he is required to do so in
accordance with¶2 of the August 28, 2012 Order and strict proof thereof is
demanded and the same is deemed denied. By way of further answer,¶2 does
not mandate that Father provide Mother with his insurance card or other insurance
information. Mother has been charged in the past with check fraud and has been
accused by numerous people of theft, and therefore, Father has legitimate
concerns regarding Mother having access to his personal insurance information.
5. Denied. It is denied that the alleged conduct in¶4 of the Petition for Contempt
constitutes willful disobedience to an Order of Court upon which a finding of contempt
can be made and strict proof thereof is demanded and the same is deemed denied.
6. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that Mother originally sought to
informally address certain issues regarding custody, as did Father, and it is admitted that
Father is opposed to all relief requested in Mother's petition. It is denied that Father
rejected the issues regarding custody, and strict proof thereof is demanded and the same
is deemed denied. By way of further answer, it was Father who attempied to amicably
resolved the issues between the parties, and it was Mother who refused to cooperate.
WHEREFORE, Respondent respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny
Petitioner's request to enter a rule upon Respondent as to why Respondent should not be found in
Contempt of the August 28, 2012 Order of Court.
COUNTERCLAIM
7. Paragraphs 1 through 6 are incorporated herein by reference.
8. It is in the best interests of the minor child for Mother's physical custody of the child
during the summer months be reduced to three weeks, one week per month, for the
following reasons:
a. Mother has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has a documented, ongoing
history of unsuccessful treatment for this disorder. Mother does not consistently
take her medication and has had numerous,unsuccessful attempts at treatment
with various counseling services.
b. Mother has an explosive temper and episodes of violent outbursts that the minor
child has been a witness to, as well as a victim of. Mother has threatened physical
abuse towards the minor child,throws objects, and hit the minor child with a
remote control after throwing it at her.
c. Mother has verbally and mentally abused the minor child by threatening her
physically, and screaming and cursing at the minor child, as well as at others
while in the minor child's presence.
d. Mother displays extreme mood swings and suicidal tendencies. She previously
attempted to commit suicide and,in 2010,was referred to Holy Spirit Hospital by
her psychologist for a suicidal concern.
e. Mother displays high risk sexual behavior with various male companions. Mother
previously moved in with James E. Meyers, a convicted sex offender and a DUI
parolee. Mother also previously moved in with Alfred Saulier, a parolee and
substance abuser, and has numerous overnight stays with various male
companions.
f. Father believes, and therefore avers,that Mother sleeps in the same room with the
child and,therefore,does not provide the minor child with adequate privacy at
Mother's home.
g. Mother is incapable of providing stability and security for the minor child. By the
time the minor child was thirteen years old,Mother had changed her primary
residence no less than 18 times. Mother has also been fired from 5 of her most
recent jobs due to issues with her inability to attend work.
h. Father and Father's wife are concerned that they are beginning to see signs of bi-
polar disorder in the minor child. On at least one occasion,the minor child began
cutting herself after spending a weekend with Mother. However, Father has
t
enrolled the child in family counseling and often attends with her, along with
Father's wife. Father believes, and therefore avers, that due to Mother's inability
to properly care for her own disorder, Mother will fail to properly care for the
minor child's mental and emotional needs and that any extended period of time
spent with Mother will be detrimental to the minor child's physical, emotional,
and mental well-being.
WHEREFORE, Respondent respectfully requests, for all of the reasons set forth in this
Counterclaim, that this Honorable Court reduce Mother's period of physical custody during the
summer months to one week per month, with all other provisions of custody to remain the same.

each week. When the Mother is initiating her call with the Child, the Mother shall contact the Father's
telephone.

ORDER OF COURT
th Y
AND NOW, this day of J O, UQJ'N , 20 11 , upon
consideration of the attached Custody Conciliation Report, it is ordered and directed as follows:
1. The prior Orders of this Court dated May 14, 2013 and August 28, 2012 are vacated and
replaced with this Order.
2. The Father, Jason S. Fahnestock, and the Mother, Brandie N. Gibson, shall have shared
legal custody of Alissa N. Fahnestock, born in 1999. Major decisions concerning the Child including,
but not necessarily limited to, her health, welfare, education, religious training and upbringing shall be
made jointly by the parties after discussion and consultation with a view toward obtaining and
following a harmonious policy in the Child's best interest. Neither party shall impair the other party's
rights to shared legal custody of the Child. Neither party shall attempt to alienate the affections of the
Child from the other party. Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance
concerning the Child that could reasonably be expected to be of concern to the other. Day to day
decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent then having physical custody. With regard to any
emergency decisions which must be made, the parent having physical custody of the Child at the time
of the emergency shall be permitted to make any immediate decisions necessitated thereby. However,
that parent shall inform the other of the emergency and consult with him or her as soon as possible. In
accordance with 23 Pa.C.S.A. §5336, each party shall be entitled to complete and full information from
any doctor, dentist, teacher,professional or authority and to have copies of any reports or information
given to either party as a parent as authorized by statute.
3. The parties shall submit themselves, their minor Child, and any other individuals deemed
necessary by the evaluator to a custody evaluation to be performed by a professional selected by
agreement between the parties. The purpose of the evaluation shall be to obtain independent
professional recommendations concerning ongoing custodial arrangements which will best meet the
needs of the Child. All costs of the evaluation shall be shared equally between the parties. The parties
shall sign any authorizations deemed necessary by the evaluator in order to obtain additional
information pertaining to the parties or the Child. Within 14 days of the custody conciliation
conference, the parties shall select the evaluator and contact the evaluator's office to schedule the
initial first appointments. The parties shall complete the custody evaluation in a timely and
cooperative manner.
4. Pending completion of the custody evaluation and further Order of Court or agreement of
the parties, the parties shall have physical custody of the Child in accordance with the following
schedule:
A. School Year: The Father shall have primary physical custody of the Child during
the school year with the Mother having partial physical custody on alternating weekends, beginning
December 27, 2013, from Friday after school at the bus stop at the Father's residence (or 3:00 p.m. if
there is no school) through Monday morning when the Mother shall transport the Child to the bus stop
at the Father's residence. In addition, the Mother shall have custody of the Child every week from
Wednesday after school (or at 3:00 p.m. if there is no school) through Thursday morning when the
Mother shall transport the Child to the bus stop at the Father's residence.
B. Summer School Break: During the summer school break, the Mother shall have
primary physical custody of the Child from the first Friday after the last day of school through one full
week prior to the beginning of the school year. During the summer school break, the Father shall have
partial physical custody of the Child for one weekend each month (upon providing at least 60 days
advance notice to the Mother of the weekend selected) from Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. through the
following Monday at 8:00 p.m. During the summer school break the Father shall also have custody of
the Child for one vacation week upon providing at least 30 days advance notice to the Mother and for
the last full week of the summer school break. The Father shall schedule his vacation period of
custody to include his monthly weekend period of custody during the same month.
C. The Father shall provide immediate notice to the Mother of any impending military
deployment to enable the parties to establish alternative custodial arrangements for the Child by
agreement. In the event the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to the custody arrangements
during the Father's deployment and any disagreements cannot be resolved through the Court prior to
deployment, the presumption shall be that the Mother shall have primary physical custody during any
military deployment of the Father. For purposes of this provision, deployment shall be defined to
mean that the Father is unavailable to provide care for the Child for at least six months or more.
5. The parties shall have custody of the Child on holidays as follows:
A. Christmas: In even numbered years, the Mother shall have custody of the Child for
the first full seven days of the Christmas school break and the Father shall have the remainder of the
holiday school break. In odd numbered years, the Mother shall have the last seven full days of the
Christmas holiday break and the Father shall have the remainder of the school break, unless the parties
make arrangements for the Mother's seven day period to take place during another portion of the
school break.
B. Thanksgiving: In every year, the Mother shall have custody of the Child over the
Thanksgiving holiday from Friday morning after Thanksgiving through Monday, with the times to be
arranged by agreement between the parties.
C. Memorial Day: The Mother shall have custody of the Child for the Memorial Day
weekend every year.
D. Labor Day: The Father shall have custody of the Child for the Labor Day weekend
every year.
6. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the Child shall continue to be enrolled in the
Big Spring School District.
7. The parties shall notify each other promptly of any changes to their telephone numbers or
addresses on an ongoing basis.
8. Neither party shall do or say anything which may estrange the Child from the other parent,
injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent, or hamper the free and natural development of the
Child's love and respect for the other parent. Both parties shall ensure that third parties having contact
with the Child comply with this provision.
9. No party shall be permitted to relocate the residence of the Child which significantly impairs
the ability to exercise custody unless every individual who has custodial rights to the Child consents to
the proposed relocation or the Court approves the proposed relocation. A person proposing to relocate
MUST comply with 23 Pa. C.S. § 5337.
10. Within 60 days of receipt of the evaluator's written custody recommendations, counsel for
either party or a party pro se may contact the conciliator to schedule a follow-up custody conciliation
conference for the purpose of reviewing the recommendations and establishing an ongoing custody
schedule, if necessary.
6. This Order is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties at a custody conciliation
conference. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of
mutual consent, the terms of this Order shall control.
