TO THE HONORABLE, JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
AND NOW, this 14th day of February 2002, comes the Plaintiff by and through his
counsel Bryan S. Walk, Esquire, and petitions this Honorable Court to grant his Emergency
Petition for Temporary Custody and in support thereof avers the following:
1. The Plaintiffis Steven Greenfield residing at 900 N. 18th Street, Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, 17103. (hereinafter "Father").
2. The Defendant is Kelly Hamitlon at, last know address, 15 S. 30th Street, Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania, 17011. (hereinafter "Mother").
3. The parties were never married, however, they are the parents of two minor children,
twins, Steven Greenfield and Alyssa Greenfield, whose date of birth is December 22, 2000.
4. Father has filed a Complaint for Custody simultaneously with the filing of the within
Petition. (See Exhibit A, attached)
5. Father is presently employed at Rite Aid Corporation. Mother is presently
unemployed.
6. Until several weeks ago, the Mother and the children resided at 15 South 30th Street,
Camp Hill along with at least three (3) other children and the Mother's boyfriend.
7. It has recently come to the Father's attention that the Mother has been evicted from her
home in Camp Hill and is currently living in a motel room with her 5 children and boyfriend.
8. Undersigned Counsel has spoken with York County Children and Youth worker,
Kathy Lyman, who has indicated they have made repeated visits to this motel where these (5)
five children are being housed along with the Mother and the Mother's boyfriend, They have
raised some serious concerns regarding the care of these children.
9. York County Children and Youth County have said the motel room in which these
Children are living does not have any refrigeration units to keep food items cold and only a
microwave to cook food. The chilren are "crammed" into the room and the children of the
Father are sleeping in the same in mini crib. Children and Youth also expressed concern that the
children are not being properly cared for however, they are not able to unilaterally remove the
children from that situation, but have advised the Father to file an Emergency Petition for
Custody.
10. The Mother has not been providing medical treatment for the child who has a
medical condition. The child is required to have physical therapy and therapy sessions were set
up through Cumberland County Children and Youth, but this is not occuring.
11. The Father has a stable home environment in the city of Harrisburg in which he can
care for these children. He resides there with this fiance, Anna Light.
12. The Father is concerned that he is not allowed to visit with his children nor is he able
to personally check on the conditions of his children but can only rely on what Children and
Youth have advised him to do and what information they and other people have shared with him.
13. Based on all of these issues and concerns, Father believes that the children's best
interest will be served by granting him temporary primary custody pending a full hearing in this
matter, due to the fact the children do not have a stable home environment and have been
living in a motel for several weeks along with three other children and two adults.
14. It is believed and therefore averred that the Father has some grave concerns about the
children's continued health and welfare if they continue to reside in the current situation.
Wherefore, the Plaintiff/Father, Steven Greenfield, requests this Honorable Court grant
his Petition for Emergency Custody and award temporary primary physical custody of the two
children, Steven Greenfield and Alyssa Greenfiend, date of birth, December 22, 2000 to the
Plaintiff/Father pending a formal custody hearing on this matter.
