IN CUSTODY
CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REP~lIT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY ICIVIL ULE OF
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator s*bmits t e following
report:
1. The pertinent infonnation pertaining to the child who is the su~ject of t is litigation
is as follows: '
Michael J. Love, born May 2,1997.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on March 24, 2005, with th following
individuals in attendance:
The paternal grandmother, Gladys M. Love, with her counsel, ~ichael Sherer, and
the maternal grandmother, Patricia Peffer, who was not a name4 party b t appeared
at the Conciliation Conference without counsel.
3.
The case is somewhat unusual. The minor child is residintwith h. maternal
grandmother, Patricia Peffer. The mother, Candace Peffer, co es and oes at the
home and is sometimes there with her son and is sometimes not. Howeve, the child
has resided with the maternal grandmother and grandfather for ~t least t e past five
years. The father, Michael P. Love, is now living in Virgini. and ha not been
involved in the child's life. He has not seen the child lately and islnot payi g support.
The mother, Candace Peffer, has been involved in the child's (ife but er current
whereabouts are unknown. It was suggested by her mother that ~andace was aware
of the Conciliation Conference.
4.
The paternal grandmother is merely looking for some time wit~ her gr ndson. It
appears to be appropriate to facilitate that type of contact. Ho~ever, t e paternal
grandmother has not had much contact with the child so ther~ will n d to be a
period of time where the parties will need to work on reassuring (he mino child and
making the child comfortable with the paternal grandmother. .
5. The Conciliator recommends an order in the form as attached.
