JASON T. MODESTO, IN CUSTODY
Defendant
PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY/PERMISSION
TO RELOCATE
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Jennifer L. Modesto, k/n/a Jennifer L. Cook, by and
through her counsel, Daley Zucker Meilton Miner & Gingrich, LLC, who hereby files the
instant Petition for Modification of Custody/Permission to Relocate and in support
thereof states as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Jennifer L. Modesto, k/n/a/ Jennifer L. Cook, is the natural
mother of Natalia Modesto, whose date of birth is August 5, 2003. Plaintiff and Natalia
currently reside at 434 Orrs Bridge Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
17011.
2. Defendant, Jason T. Modesto, is the natural father of Natalia. Defendant
resides at 1738 North 3rd Street, Apt. B, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
17102.
3. Plaintiff has had primary physical custody of Natalia since birth.
Defendant has periods of partial custody as prescribed in the May 27, 2009 Order of
Court issued pursuant to the parties' agreement at Conciliation by the Honorable Edward
E. Guido. A copy of the May 27, 2009 Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and is
incorporated herein by reference
4. Plaintiff has been Natalia's primary caregiver since birth.
5. Plaintiff is seeking to relocate to South Carolina with Natalia to live with
her fiance, with whom she is expecting a child on January 26, 2010, as well as to explore
expanded job opportunities within her company.
6. Plaintiff has, for the two years, been exploring ways to better herself and
her position at work, and has been advised that in order to advance within her company,
she will have to relocate. Plaintiff's advancement within her company will benefit both
Plaintiff and Natalia financially.
7. Plaintiff is engaged to be married at a civil service on July 6, 2009 and a
ceremony with friends and family on November 7, 2009 in South Carolina, to John
Russell Nicrone, with whom Natalia is very close. Plaintiff's fiance lives in South
Carolina where he operates and manages a family business called Careful Cut Lawn
Services during the mowing season. Once the mowing season is over, Mr. Nicrone will
co-manage Select Results Enterprises, with his father. Mr. Nicrone, Plaintiff, Natalia,
and her new baby brother or sister, have the support of fiance's family, including his
parents and brother.
8. Plaintiff, her fiance, Natalia, and the new baby have a single family house
to live in minutes from fiance's extended family in West Florence, South Carolina. This
house is situated so that if permitted to move, Natalia would attend Carver Elementary
School.
9. Plaintiff has been exploring schools for Natalia and the unborn child in
South Carolina and Plaintiff is also contemplating enrolling Natalia in private school,
which she will be able to do if she receives a promotion within her company and has a
secondary source of income within the household by virtue of her marriage.
10. Natalia suffers from severe allergies and eczema which is exacerbated, in
part, by the pollens in the air in Pennsylvania. Natalia is under the constant care and
supervision of an allergist who has indicated that a move to South Carolina would be
beneficial for Natalia due to a decrease in air allergens.
11. Plaintiff is willing to offer Defendant periods of partial custody over
Natalia's school breaks, specifically including longer periods of time over the summer
vacation.
12. Plaintiff would like to be permitted to move with Natalia before the start
of the 2009-2010 school year in late August.
13. The child's best interest and permanent welfare will best be served by
granting permission to relocate because:
a) Plaintiff has exercised primary physical custody of Natalia since
birth; and
b) Plaintiff has been Natalia's primary caregiver since birth; and
c) Plaintiff has evidenced a willingness and ability to follow Court
Orders and Agreements entered in Natalia's best interests; and
d) Plaintiff has taken an active interest in and has actively participated
in the Natalia's life and activities; and
e) Plaintiff has a regular schedule and routine for Natalia to which
Natalia has adjusted well; and
f) Plaintiff adequately supervises Natalia while she is with her; and
g) Plaintiff continues to provide Natalia with a home with more than
adequate moral, emotional and physical surroundings as required to
meet her needs; and
h) Plaintiff's primary concern is for Natalia's safety, health and well-
being; and
i) Plaintiff continues to exercise parental duties and responsibilities
and continues to enjoy the Natalia's love and affection; and
j) Plaintiff has been supportive of Defendant's relationship with
Natalia; and
k) Plaintiff has acted responsibly with regard to Natalia and has
always had Natalia's best interests in mind; and
1) Despite not always agreeing with Defendant's behaviors and
actions, Plaintiff has supported Natalia's relationship with
Defendant and Plaintiff will continue to support the relationship
between Defendant and Natalia; and
m) Natalia is well-bonded to Plaintiff; and
n) Natalia will be able to be able to live with and connect with her new
baby brother or sister; and
o) It is anticipated that there will be better control over Natalia's
allergies and eczema if she moves to South Carolina; and
p) It is anticipated that Plaintiff will receive a promotion within her
company within a short time of relocating; and
q) Natalia will have the benefit of extended time with Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Jennifer L. Cook, respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court grant her Petition for Modification of Custody/Permission to Relocate,
that an Order be entered permitting Plaintiff to relocate with Natalia to South Carolina
prior to the start of the 2009-2010 school year, and that the Order set forth alternative
periods of custody for Defendant over Natalia's breaks from school.
Respectfully submitted,

V.
JASON T. MODESTO, IN CUSTODY
Defendant
PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR CONTEMPT/MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Jennifer L. Modesto, n/k/a Jennifer L. Nicrone, by
and through her counsel, Daley Zucker Meilton Miner & Gingrich, LLC, who hereby
files Plaintiff's Petition for Contempt/Modification of Custody, and in support thereof
states as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Jennifer L. Modesto, n/k/a/ Jennifer L. Nicrone, is the natural
mother (hereinafter referred to as "Mother") of Natalia Modesto, whose date of birth is
August 5, 2003. Mother and Natalia currently reside at 434 Orrs Bridge Road, Camp
Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. Defendant, Jason T. Modesto, is the natural father (hereinafter referred to
as "Father") of Natalia. Father resides at 1738 North 3`d Street, Apt. B, Harrisburg,
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17102.
G
3. Mother has had primary physical custody of Natalia since birth. Father
has periods of partial custody as prescribed in the Honorable Edward E. Guido's May 27,
2009 Order of Court issued pursuant to the parties' agreement at Conciliation. A copy of
the May 27, 2009 Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein by
reference.
4. Mother has been Natalia's primary caregiver since birth and has, as of
necessity, had to take Natalia to frequent appointments with Allergy and Asthma
Specialists of Harrisburg, as well as to appointments with Natalia's pediatrician, due to a
diagnosis of severe allergies and eczema. In addition to frequent allergy shots and steroid
treatments, when necessary, Natalia is also on Allegra and Benedryl, daily via mouth, and
Verimist nose spray (which has just been changed to a new spray), daily, to help alleviate
her allergy symptoms. Natalia is also on two (2) prescription lotions for the eczema
breakouts (1 for her face, and 1 for her body). Mother sends the Allegra and prescription
lotions to Father at every visit, provided him with a sample bottle of the Verimist, and
also sent Benadryl with Father when he had Natalia over his vacation period.
5. A point of contention at the last Conciliation Conference was Mother's
concern that Father was not abiding by the doctor's recommendations regarding restricted
foods and inhalants to avoid while Natalia was in Father's custody. As an example,
Father admitted at the Conciliation Conference that if Natalia wanted a cookie, he was
not going to deprive her of the cookie; even though she is allergic to cow's milk, peanuts,
and soy and she has a sensitivity to wheat. A copy of the May 13, 2009 letter from
Allergy and Asthma Specialists of Harrisburg listing Natalia's allergies and sensitivities
f
is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and is incorporated herein by reference. As such,
Paragraph 6 was added to the May 27, 2009 Order. See Exhibit "A".
6. Immediately preceding the last Conciliation Conference (May 21, 2009),
specifically from May 16 through May 17, 2009, Father had custody of Natalia. Natalia
returned from Father's custody with a severe breakout of eczema and inflamed allergies
necessitating Mother to schedule and take Natalia to an allergist appointment on May 18,
2009, wherein Natalia was prescribed a five-day regimen of oral Prednisone, a steroid, to
help control the flare-up.
7. Since the last Conciliation Conference, Natalia has returned to her Mother
after numerous visits with her Father, with a breakout of eczema and/or an allergic
reaction.
8. Father had custody of Natalia on May 22 through May 24, 2009 (the
weekend immediately following the Custody Conciliation Conference). Natalia had a
flare-up of her eczema due to reportedly ingesting a hot dog and bun and ice cream while
with her Father.
9. Mother took Natalia to her regularly-scheduled allergist appointment on
May 28, 2009 and the flare-up was discussed at that appointment.
10. Father had custody of Natalia on May 30 through May 31, 2009. No
breakout of eczema or allergic reaction was noted by Mother upon Natalia's return.
11. Father had custody of Natalia June 6 through June 8, 2009. Natalia
reported that Father had purchased a graduation cake for her kindergarten graduation and
that she had eaten some of the cake, which is in contravention to the doctor's
recommendations. Natalia returned home to Mother with puffy, itchy, red eyes.
12. On June 12, 2009 at 8:30 a.m., Mother took Natalia to her regularly-
scheduled allergist appointment to receive her allergy shots.
13. Father had custody of Natalia on June 20 through June 22, 2009 at which
time, Father took Natalia to his cousin's farm, where they spent the entire day, despite the
fact that Natalia is allergic to a number of inhalants, specifically including, among a
number of out-door environmental allergies, dogs and cats, and Natalia reported that she
was playing with a dog and the dog was licking her face. Natalia also reported that while
with Father that weekend, she ate clams with butter and a turkey club sandwich, to which
she is allergic not only to the bread, but also the butter which has both soy and milk
products in it. Natalia had an allergist appointment scheduled for Thursday, June 25`f;
however, due to a severe breakout of her eczema and an allergic reaction after the
weekend with her Father, Mother requested that Natalia be seen earlier. She was seen by
the allergist on June 23, 2009 and as a result of this flare-up, Natalia was again prescribed
another 5-day oral regimen of Prednisone.
14. Father had custody of Natalia on June 27 through June 29, 2009. Natalia
returned from the weekend with Father scratching and with red eyes and she stated, "it
feels like bugs are crawling under my skin." While with Father over that weekend, he did
not give Natalia her nose spray which is given to her daily to help with her allergies.
15. Mother took Natalia to her regularly-scheduled allergy shot appointment
on July 6, 2009.
16. The week of July 6 through July 10, 2009, Natalia was in Mother's
custody and Mother applied Aveeno sunscreen. Natalia had an allergic reaction to this
particular sunscreen and Mother immediately notified Father to advise him that Natalia
could not use Aveeno sunscreen.
17. Father had custody of Natalia from July 11 through July 13, 2009. Mother
had off of work on Monday, July 13, 2009 and Father had a scheduled work meeting that
day. Mother advised Father that she was off of work and requested that Father return
Natalia earlier (split the day) pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Custody Order (the right of
first refusal provision). Father refused to return Natalia early and advised Mother that he
had "special plans" for Natalia. Upon Natalia's return to Mother, Natalia reported that
she had gone with paternal aunt to work and that she had learned how to file, shred paper
and fax. Moreover, Natalia returned to Mother with a breakout of eczema and an allergic
reaction in her eyes.
18. On July 16, 2009, Mother took Natalia to her pre-scheduled appointment
for her allergy shots (which were given earlier due to Natalia leaving for vacation with
Father).
19. Father had custody of Natalia from July 18 through July 25, 2009. Mother
was originally told that Father was taking Natalia to Wildwood, New Jersey for vacation;
however, Father took Natalia to Ocean City, Maryland, but did not advise Mother, until
the day they were leaving, of the change in plans. Besides his cell number, which was
unreachable for the latter part of the trip, Father did not provide Mother with any contact
information. While in Father's care over this period of time, Natalia reported that she ate
pancakes, pizza, bread, a Frosty from Wendy's, hot chocolate made with milk, sherbet,
and clams with butter. Due to her severe eczema, when Natalia swims in chlorinated
water, she must be rubbed down after getting out of the pool, with either Vaseline or oil.
Natalia reported that Father never put Vaseline or oil on her after she swam in the pool
while in his custody.
20. Natalia returned from her week of vacation with her Father with the most
severe breakout of eczema and the most severe allergic reaction that Mother has seen
since her original diagnosis. Attached hereto as Exhibit "C" are pictures of Natalia
showing the breakout. Exhibit "C-1" is Natalia's school picture for the 2008-2009 school
year; Exhibit "C-2" is a picture of Natalia's face taken on July 27, 2009 at the
undersigned's office; Exhibit "C-3" is a close-up of Natalia's neck taken on July 27, 2009
at the undersigned's office; Exhibit "C-4" is Natalia's right arm taken on July 27, 2009 at
the undersigned's office; Exhibit "C-5" is Natalia's left arm taken on July 27, 2009 at the
undersigned's office; Exhibit "C-6" is the back of Natalia's legs taken on July 27, 2009 at
the undersigned's office. Exhibits C-1 through C-6 are attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
21. Natalia reported that Father did not administer her daily prescription nose
spray at all during the vacation.
22. After Natalia's return from vacation with Father and due to Natalia's
distress and discomfort, Mother called and took the first available appointment with
Natalia's allergist for July 27, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. As a result of the severe breakout of
her eczema and a severe allergic reaction, Natalia was placed on a 9-day regimen of oral
prednisone.
23. Most weekends, if not all, that Father has custody of Natalia, he takes her
to what was his parents' trailer in Seltzer, Pennsylvania. Natalia now has a room of her
own; however, that room is the room where Father's parent's cat was cooped up when
Natalia went up for visits previously. Although Father claims that the carpets were
cleaned, Natalia continually returns from Father's care with breakouts of her allergies and
eczema. Moreover, Mother had to install a $6500 ventilation system in her residence
after moving in because the prior owners had dogs and the dander was throughout the
duct work and was causing an exacerbation of Natalia's allergies and eczema.
24. Despite the parties agreement that Natalia could get her ears pierced and
that Father and paternal grandmother accompanied Mother and Natalia to obtain the
piercing on July 10, 2009 and both parents heard the care instructions regarding the
piercing, Father failed to apply the ointment three times a day and turn the earrings at
each cleaning. Natalia returned with one earlobe infected and reported that Father had
not applied the ointment, nor turned the earrings at all, while Natalia was on vacation
with him.
25. Mother re-married on July 6, 2009 and has filed a Petition for
Modification/Petition to Relocate with Natalia to South Carolina. Since the filing of that
Petition, Natalia reported to Mother that Father has been telling her that Mother was
trying to take Natalia away from Father; that she was going to have to tell the Judge that
she "liked John [Mother's new husband] but that she wanted Daddy to be her Daddy";
and advising her to lie to Mother about the things she does when with Father and the
foods she eats when with him.
26. Although Mother is trying to be supportive of Father's relationship with
Natalia, she has serious concerns about his lack of concern and cooperation with the
doctor's recommendations regarding Natalia's severe allergies and eczema, and she has
serious concerns about his ability to properly care for Natalia given these diagnoses.
Moreover, she has serious concerns regarding Father's laissez-faire attitude when Natalia
is obviously extremely uncomfortable and in pain.
27. A Custody Conciliation Conference is currently scheduled for Thursday,
July 30, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. in front of Jacqueline M. Verney, Esquire.
28. Mother is requesting that this Petition for Contempt/Modification of
Custody be consolidated and heard with the pending Petition for Modification/Petition
for Relocation.
29. The child's best interest and permanent welfare will best be served by
granting the requested relief because:
a) Mother has exercised primary physical custody of Natalia since
birth; and
b) Mother has been Natalia's primary caregiver since birth; and
c) Mother has evidenced a willingness and ability to place Natalia's
interests ahead of her own; and
d) Mother has taken an active interest in and has actively participated
in the Natalia's life and activities; and
e) Mother has a regular schedule and routine for Natalia to which
Natalia has adjusted well; and
f) Mother adequately supervises Natalia while she is with her; and
g) Mother continues to provide Natalia with a home with more than
adequate moral, emotional and physical surroundings as required to
meet her needs; and
h) Mother's primary concern is for Natalia's safety, health and well-
being; and
i) Mother continues to exercise parental duties and responsibilities
and continues to enjoy Natalia's love and affection; and
j) Mother has acted responsibly with regard to Natalia and has always
had Natalia's best interests in mind; and
k) Mother follows the doctor's advice and recommendations regarding
Natalia; and
1) Natalia is well-bonded to Mother; and
m) Mother continues to constantly monitor Natalia's eating habits,
exercises care and caution and tries to avoid exposure to external
items to which Natalia is allergic; and follow the doctor's
recommendations with regard to both prescription and over-the-
counter medications to alleviate the symptoms of Natalia's severe
eczema and allergies.
27. Mother has incurred and/or anticipates incurring reasonable legal fees in an
amount in excess of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars to prepare, file, and defend this
Petition for Contempt.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Mother, Jennifer L. Nicrone, respectfully requests that
this Honorable Court grant her Petition for Contempt/Petition for Modification; that this
matter be consolidated and heard at the July 30, 2009 Conciliation with the current
pending Petition for Relocation/Modification; that an Order be entered permitting Mother
to relocate with Natalia to South Carolina prior to the start of the 2009-2010 school year;
that an Order be entered awarding Mother sole physical and legal custody, or in the
alternative, that the Order set forth alternative periods of supervised custody for Father
over Natalia's breaks from school; and that Father be ordered to pay Mother's reasonable
attorney's fees in the amount of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars; and any such other
relief as this Honorable Court may deem necessary.

Re: Natalia Modesto
Natalia has been seen in.our office over the last year and a half and found to have allergy
to many foods and inhalants. Foods allergies include. Cows miIlc, peanuts, shrimp,
soybeans, strawbe ies and sensitive jo beef, tomato and wheat -Inhalant allerghes
include: tobacco, trees, grass, plantain, sorrel, ragweed, mixed weeds, mites, dust; cat,
dog and molds. Her parents and Natalia have been instructed to avoid the foods she is
allergic to. When she eats these foods her eczema is made worse. She has been
observed 4 times in the office to have exacerbations of her eczema after eating foods on
the allergic list . She is on medications and allergy shots to make her able to tolerate
exposures to inhalants.. I have explained to her parents how these environmental
exposures and foods will make her sick but her mother tells me that it has been
impbsAlle to control as Natalia's father has not taken steps such as not smoking and not
feeding her foods she is known to be sensitive to. I believe Natalia would not have so
many exacerbations of her eczema if she was able to avoid exposures to cigarettes, pets
and forbidden foods and so I would recommend keeping her away from these things
completely.

report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:

and a Petition for Contempt and Modification.
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal
custody and primary physical custody with Father having periods of partial physical
custody for extended periods of time during school holidays and summer, as Mother
wishes to relocate to South Carolina. Mother asserts that she has remarried and her new
husband has recently relocated to South Carolina. Mother also claims that she has found
a new job and her new husband has family in South Carolina. In Mother's second
Petition she alleges that Father does not administer the child's allergy medication and
fails to take proper care in her dietary restrictions. Based on the allegations of contempt,
Mother requests that Father only have supervised visitation.
6. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks the current Order
of Court remain in effect. He opposes the relocation request and denies the allegations of
contempt.
