v.
November 28,2001, is hereby GRANTED. This Court finds a change of venue is appropriate pursuant
to PaRC.P. 1915.2(d). The minor child, who is the subject of this litigation, has resided in Cumberland
County since May, 1995. This action could have been brought in Cumberland County at the time of
Defendant's filing of her Petition for Change of Venue. This Court finds that a change of venue is
necessary for the convenience of the parties and witnesses. In addition, substantial evidence regarding the
child's care, education and personal relationships is more available in Cumberland County.
The Prothonotary ofMiffiin County shall forward to the Prothonotary of Cumberland County
certified copies of the docket entries, process, pleadings and other papers filed in the action. The costs
and fees of the Petition for Change of Venue and the removal of the record shall be paid by the Defendant
in the first instance to be taxable as costs in the case.

1. On January 29, 1999, this Honorable Court entered an

of the minor child, GREGORY TATE, whose date of birth is March
21, 1991. Primary physical custody was awarded to Mother with
periods of partial physical custody awarded to Father, A copy of
the order is attached hereto.
2. F'ather believes and avers that it is in the child's
best interests that Father have primary physical custody. The
child in now 10 years old and has spent his tender years with his
Mother, Because the minor child is a boy, Father believes that
it is important for the child to spend his adolescent years with
his Father,

3, The child is active in sports - baseball, football

throughout his life, Father believes that he is better able to
provide support with and to guide and direct his son in sporting
activities,
4. The child has been in the same school from K-5.
Next year will be a good time for a transition in custody because
the child will be attending a new school for the 6th grade year,
5. Father believes that he is better capable of
providing his son with the type of upbringing - educational and
moral - that an adolescent boy needs. Father can provide a
healthy home with a nuclear family in an atmosphere where the
child will develop and thrive,
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that this
Honorable Court schedule a hearing, take testimony and enter and
order awarding Father primary physical custody of the minor
child.

IN CUSTODY
ORDER
NOW, January 29, 1999, after custody conference held this date, and upon
agreement of the parties, the Court enters the following:
1. G. SCOTT TATE and DA VI T, YOUTZY shall both have the legal right to
make major decisions affecting the best interests of their minor child, GREGORY
TATE, including but not limited to medical, religious, and educational decisions.
Each parent shall be considered to be a custodial parent and each shall have the
right to access all information concerning these matters including all hospital, doctor,
and school records.
2. Primary physical custody of GREGORY TATE shall be in his Mother,
DA VI T. YOUTZY
3. Partial physical custody of GREGORY TATE shall be in his Father,
G. SCOTT TATE, as follows:
a.) during the school year every other weekend, when the parties
will meet at McDonalds in Newport, Pennsylvania on Friday at
5:00 p.m. and on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. to exchange the child. If
father misses his weekend or any portion thereof because of the
child's extracurricular activities, the exact amount of time that
has been lost by Father shall be made up. The make-up time
shall be the following weekend, if mutually agreed upon between
the parties. Otherwise the lost time shall be made up at the
earliest possible time that is mutually agreeable between the
parties. If Father takes advantage of his fuJI weekend from
Friday at 5:00 p.m. until Sunday at 5:00 p.m. and if the child has
an extracurricular activity during that time Father shall see to it
that the child attends his activity unless Father has some special
plans to take the child out of town or otherwise take the child to
a specially scheduled event such as a family wedding, reunions,
and the like. If such a special event exists Father shall give
reasonable notification to Mother of the scheduled event.
b.) during the school vacation, three (3) out of four (4) weekends
per month from 6:00 p.m. Friday until 6:00 p.m. Sunday;
c.) with 24 (TWENTY-FOUR) hours notice to the Mother, during
the summer months Father may exercise a period of partial
custody one day per week in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and
during the school year, with 24 (TWENTY-FOUR) hours notice,
Father may exercise a period of partial custody in Carlisle when
Father is attending his son's activities there;
d.) for a period of three (3) non-consecutive weeks with 30
(THIRTY) days prior notice to the Mother. It is anticipated that
more often than not said three (3) weeks will be exercised by the
Father during the summer, however, the Court recognizes that
the parties have in the past arranged extended periods of
custody during the school year to provide for family trips.
Further, a reasonable extension of the seven (7) day period for
an additional day or two will not be unreasonably denied upon
good cause shown;
e.) Father shall have custody in odd numbered years on the
following holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, and Labor
Day. Custody shall commence at 5:00 p.m. the day before the
holiday ahd shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the holiday;
2
f.) Father shall have custody in even numbered years on the
following holidays: Easter, Independence Day, and
Thanksgiving. Custody shall commence at 5:00 p.m. the day
before the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the
holiday;
g.) In 1999 and in odd numbered years thereafter, Father shall have
custody from 5:00 p.m. December 25th until 8:00 p.m.
December 27th;
h.) In 2000 and even numbered years thereafter, F~ther shall
have custody from 5:00 p.m December 23rd until 5:00 p.m.
December 25th;
i.) Each year on the first day of Trout Season. Should that
Saturday fall on Mother's alternate weekend, Father shall trade
one of his weekends to the Mother in exchange for this period
of custOdy;
j.) When Father's alternate weekend immediately precedes the first
day of antlered deer season, Father's weekend shall extend to
6:00 p.rn. on that Monday. The Court anticipates that the parties
may mQdify this arrangement to accommodate the best interests
of the child when the child becomes lawfully old enough to
hunt and indicates a desire to do so.
k.) Each Fcllther's Day weekend from 6:00 p.m. Friday until
6:00 p.m. Sunday;
4. Mother shall have icustody in odd numbered years on the following
holidays: Easter, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. Custody shall commence at
5:00 p.m. the day before the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the
holiday.
5. Mother shall have Custody in even numbered years on the following
holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. Custody shall commence
at 5:00 p.m. the day before the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the
holiday.
3
14. The parties shall endeavor to accomplish the exchange of custody in a
prompt manner according to the times set forth in this Order. Should either party be
consistently late (i.e. 20 minutes or more and 3 times or more) a request for
sanctions will be entertained by the Court.
15. All communications having to do with custody issues, including but not
, .
limited to the determination of primary custody and or arrangements for
transportation under the provisions of this Order shall take place between G. SCOTT
TATE and DAVI T. YOUTZY. At no time shall GREGORY TATE be used as a
messenger for any reason.
16. The specific provisions of this Order found at 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h, 3k, 4, 5, and 6
shall take precedence over the general provisions of this Order.
17. The child shall not sleep in the same room with the Youtzy's house
guest, Khalid AI Bulaihed.

ANSWER TO COUNTERCLAIM FOR ATTORNEYS FEES
AND TO PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY ORDER
ATTORNEYS FEES
Plaintiff's Answer to Defendant's Counterclaim for
Attorney's Fees is as follows:
9. No response required.
10. Denied. It is specifically denied that Father has
created problems or intentionally attempted to cause Mother
unnecessary legal fees. To the contrary, Mother has created
numerous problems and has intentionally attempted to cause Father
unnecessary legal fees. Additionally, Father has attempted, on
numerous occasions, to try to resolve different issues with
Mother, including the issue involving make-up time. Mother
continuously creates a situation wherein Father is held hostage
and sees the child on Mother's terms only. Father's only
recourse at this time is the filing of the Petition For Contempt.
11. The allegations of paragraph 11 of the
Counterclaim are denied; however, they illustrate the attitude of
Mother each and every time that Father tries to talk to her about
the custody situation. According to Mother, Father's issues are
petty and meritless. with Mother taking this attitude, it is
impossible for Father to resolve disputes amicably, without the
Court's intervention.
12. through 20. No response required.
21. Denied. The Petition for contempt is not
frivolous, but the allegation that it is, again, illustrates with
what disrespect Father is treated on each and every occasion that
he tries to amicably resolve issues with Mother. Father and his
counsel have repeatedly tried to resolve this matter out of
Court, but all of those efforts have failed, and Father is the
party in this matter who is entitled to an award of attorneys
fees.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that this
Honorable Court deny the Defendant's request for attorneys fees.
MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY ORDER
Plaintiff's Answer to Defendant's Petition for
Modification of a Partial custody order is as follows:
1. Admitted
2. No response required.
3. No response required.
HAMILTON AND KIMMEL
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
201 WEST HIGH STREET
BEJ...LEPONTE. PA 16823
4. Denied. It is denied that Father has had adequate
periods of custody with the child. To the contrary, Father has
always been held hostage to seeing the child based upon when
Mother decides that Father will see the child. Prior to January
29, 1999, Father always agreed with whatever time Mother would
give him with the child. Additionally, Father had to do
practically all of the transportation if he wanted to see his
son. After years of this situation, Father finally filed a
Petition with the Court, because Father felt that without a
custody order articulating each and every time he should see the
child and stating that transportation would have to be shared,
Mother would continue to dictate when and under what terms Father
would see his son.
5. The Court found no merit in Mother's petition.
6. Denied. It is Mother's conduct that has been and
continues to be offensive.
7. Profanity has been used by both parties.
8. The terms of the January 29, 1999 Court Order are
unworkable, because Mother simply refuses to comply with them.
This is why Father had to file the Petition for Contempt.
9. Denied. There has been no "practice", because
there has only been one month when the summer schedule as stated
in the January 29, 1999 Order has been in effect, and Mother has,
once again, refused to comply with the Order. Denied as stated.
HAMILTON AND KIMMEL
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
201 WEST HIGH STREET
BEU..EFONTE. PA 1682:3
Father did not have the child for three (3) weekends in June, and
Father is not getting the child for the summer. By way of
further response, Father prepared and sent to Mother, through
counsel, a proposed summer schedule, attached hereto. This
schedule was sent to counsel for Mother on or about April 19,
1999. Thus, it is clear from these schedules that Father has
never tried to get "the child for the summer" as alleged by
Mother. The tone of paragraph 9 and the misrepresentations made
therein, once again, illustrate the extreme obstacles with which
Father has to deal on a continuing basis in his attempts to see
the child.
10. Denied. The previous Court Order did not work
from Father's perspective. Mother believes that it worked
without incident, because Father simply agreed to everything that
Mother wanted, including Father's always doing most of the
transportation to exchange custody.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that this
Honorable Court deny Mother's request for Modification of the
existing order.
Respectfully submitted,

ANSWER TO CONTEMPT PETITION WITH COUNTERCLAIM
': 1
. )
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Davi T. Youtzy, by and through
her attorneys, Brugler and Levin, and files the following Answer
To Petition for Contempt With Counterclaim, and in support
thereof avers as Follows:
1. Admitted that the last custod~ Order in this case
was dated January 29, 1999, but said Order was issued only after
prolonged and extensive negotiations between counsel for the
parties.
2. Admitted
3. Denied. Mother has always allowed Father to make up
the exact amount of time that has been missed because of the
child's extra-curricular activities.
4. Admitted
5. Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted
that Father requested a basketball schedule. Mother attempted to
obtain a schedule but due to the fact that it was late in the
season, she was unable to obtain a copy. Father had knowledge of
there not being any additional copies available through the
child's coach before asking Mother's husband for a copy of said
schedule. By way of a further answer, Mother kept Father
informed as to when the basketball games occurred. As to the
soccer schedule, Father did not ask Mother for such until his
legal counsel made a request to Mother's legal counsel. At that
LAW OFFICES BRUGLER & LEVIN LEWISTOWN, PA.
time the request was granted.
6. Denied. Mother did advise Father of photographs
being taken and in fact she paid for a second set of school
photographs which she provided to Father. Mother also gave
Father information on how to order more basketball photos when
she provided him with a photo. Mother has routinely in the past
given Father school and sports pictures without even asking for
reimbursement for such.
7. Admitted in part; denied in part. Mother has
always followed the spirit and letter of the Order. Mother was
an hour and a half late for an exchange but called Father's wife
to see if she could reach him on his cell phone as she was stuck
in traffic caused by the influx of people in the Carlisle area
for the car show. Mother has attempted to sensibly and
reasonably discuss make-up time with Father. Attached hereto,
incorporated by reference and marked as Exhibit A is one copy of
correspondence between counsel discussing the make-up times. By
way of further answer, it is Father who is acting without reason
or sense.
8. Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted
that Plaintiff's counsel sent a letter to Defendant's counsel on
April 13, 1999. Said letter gave Defendant's counsel a day to
respond without making any considerations for his schedule. (See
the next to last paragraph of said letter.) It is further
admitted that Defendant's counsel contacted Plaintiff's counsel
on April 20, 1999. Defendant's counsel has no knowledge of any
LAW OFFICES BRUGLER & LEVIN LEWISTOWN, PA.
telephone conversation between his office and Plaintiff's counsel
but will admit that he was out of the office during the regular
business day from May 3, 1999, until May 19, 1999 to take
depositions in Centre County and Dauphin County and to appear
before this Honorable Court and the Court of Common Pleas of
Huntingdon County. It is denied that no response was provided.
A copy of the response which Defendant's counsel prepared and
sent to Plaintiff's counsel on May 11, 1999 is attached hereto,
incorporated by reference and marked as Exhibit A. By way of a
further answer Defendant's counsel followed up said letter with
another one which was never responded to by Plaintiff's counsel.
Attached hereto, incorporated by reference and marked as Exhibit
B is a copy of said follow up correspondence.
COUNTERCLAIM (ATTORNEYS FEES)
9. Paragraphs 1 through 8 inclusive and incorporated
herein as if set forth in full.
10. Since the custody conference held in this case on
January 29, 1999, Father has created numerous problems for Mother
and intentionally attempted to cause her unnecessary legal fees.
11. On or about February 2, 1999, 3 days after the
conference was held and before a Final Order was entered by the
Court, Father's Counsel sent Mother's Counsel a laundry list of
complaints. Said complaints were either so petty so as to not
warrant a response or were untrue. A true and correct copy of
said letter is attached hereto, incorporated by reference and
marked as Exhibit C.
LAW OFFICES BRUGLER & LEVIN LEWISTOWN, PA.
12. On or about February 4, 1999, Mother's counsel
responded to Exhibit C. A true and correct copy is attached
hereto, incorporated by reference and marked as Exhibit D.
13. Between February 4 and April 13 of this year,
Father's counsel called Mother's counsel to inquire about make up
times for Father for time missed due to the child's basketball
games.
14. Mother's counsel tried to respond in a timely
manner but Father's counsel was out of the office; however, in
order to avoid any problems, Mother's counsel spoke at length to
Father's counsel's secretary about make up time and Mother's
position on not allowing make up time when Father chose not to
exercise his visitation rights in order to pursue his own
interests.
15. Father's counsel sent correspondence to Mother's
counsel on or about April 13, 1999, which now forms the basis for
a Petition for Contempt filed against Mother.
16. Said Petition for Contempt also includes
complaints about matters not addressed in this Court's Order
dated January 29, 1999, such as sports and school pictures,
basketball and soccer schedules.
17. Mother's counsel sent a response to Father's
counsel on or about May 11, 1999, which addressed Father's
concerns as set forth in the letter of April 13, 1999.
18. Said response was based on information Mother
supplied to her counsel on or about April 22, 1999.
19. Mother's counsel sent correspondence to Father's
LAW OFFICES BRUGLER & LEVIN LEWISTOWN, PA.
counsel asking that the Petition for Contempt be withdrawn as the
May 11, 1999 response addressed the various allegations set forth
in the letter of April 13, 1999.
20. To date, no response has been given to the follow
up correspondence of May 14, 1999.
21. As all allegations of the letter of April 13, 1999
have been addressed and the Petition for Contempt seeks redress
for matters not covered by any existing Court Order in this
matter, the Petition for Contempt is frivolous, unreasonable,
brought against Mother without foundation or in bad faith and is
dilatory, obdurate and/or vexatious litigation, Mother is
entitled to an award of attorneys fees as a taxable cost under 42
Pa. C.S.A. ~1726 PURSUANT TO 42 Pa. C.S.A. ~2503(6) (7) and (9).
WHEREFORE, Defendant, DAVI T. YOUTZY, respectfully requests
this Honorable Court to dismiss the Petition for Contempt filed
in this matter and to award her attorneys fees for having to
defend against such.
Respectfully submitted,
Dated: June~~, 1999

Dear Mrs. Kimmel:
This letter is to serve as a follow up of our conversation
in late April and your facsimile relating to Mr. Tate's exercise
of his periods of temporary physical custody.
I have reviewed Mrs. Youtzy's notes which are extensive and
detailed on Mr. Tate's visitation. It appears to me that Mr. Tate
is not entitled to any umake-upu time. It appears to me that Mr.
Tate failed to show on a number of dates when he would have had
visitation with his son in order to attend his step-son's
wrestling matches, the District, the Regional and the State
Wrestling Tournament or to go trout fishing. As a result, it
appears to me that Mr. Tate is not entitled to the time you
asserted in your correspondence. My client is still willing to
provide Mr. Tate with additional t:me and, in fact, has done so
on numerous occasions. Mr. Tate, of course, will have to provide
transportation to and from the visit.
As to Mr. Tate's request for a Soccer schedule, Mrs. Youtzy
only received her schedule on April 14. However, Mr. Tate was
advised that his son's soccer games occur every Saturday. I am
enclosing herewith a copy of the Soccer schedule.
As to the Summer visitation, my client is still waiting to
hear from DCNR-King's Gap Environment Ed and Training Center to
find out when Gregory will be going to camp (for a three day
period). As soon as I have this information, I will let you know.
There is a conflict the week on June 18 through 25 as Mr.
Youtzy's vacation overlaps Mr. Tate's. Mr. Youtzy's is the 21
through 27 and the Youtzy's may be going out of town.
Finally, my client thinks your client has requested one more
week this Summer than he is entitled to (the weekend of July 30
through August 1). Mrs. Youtzy indicated that she would not give
Exhibit A
Mr. Tate this additional weekend, as Mr. Tate has been unable to
cooperate with her and therefore she will not do anything
but follow the Court's Order.
I believe this answers all of your questions. If Mr. Tate
has any comments, please advise. I will try to respond to any
additional issues more quickly than this response came. The
problem was that I have been in Court more often than I have been
in my office this month.

RE: Tate vs. Youtzy
Dear Mr. Knepp:
Apparently a few problems came up over the weekend regarding the
custody agreement that we had reached last Friday in connection
with the above-captioned matter.
It appears that your client did not send asthma medication last
weekend, which is not a problem if Gregory does not need the
medicine at this time; however, my client needs to know the
details as to that issue and perhaps some written clarification
from your client or from Dr. Blutsteln could put this matter to
rest.
It is my understanding that your client took the position that
5:00 p.m. is the exchange time. The Court Order will say 6:00
p.m., and our agreement was 6:00 p.m. HlJicheve:c time is fine
with us, but we would just like one fixed time. That way the
matter is settled and it need not be revisited each week.
Your client is also refusing to allow Mr. Tate to have Gregory
next weekend even though he did not get Gregory this past weekend
until Saturday. We are asking for compliance with the Court's
Order and our agreement which will allow Mr. Tate to have Gregory
next weekend from Saturday until Sunday.
On Sunday, your client called my client's residence to speak to
the child. She asked the child at what time the pa~ties were
meeting for the custody exchange. Again, we request compliance
with the Court ordered provision stating that the parties shall
not use the child as a messenger for matters that the parties
should be d.iscussing themselves.

Re: Tate v. Youtzy
Dear Ms. Kimmel:
I received of your correspondence of February 2, 1999, and
reviewed such with my client. My response thereto is as follows:
1. Asthma Medication. According to Mrs. Youtzy, she
provided Mr. Tate with two inhalers prior to last weekend's
visit. Mr. Tate has never informed her that he needed new or
additional inhalers. If, in fact, that is the case,he should
tell Mrs. Youtzy so that the inhalers can be sent along with
Gregory. Your client is quite aware that his son does need the
medication and, in fact, Mr. Tate administered some kind of
medication to Gregory during this past weekend's visit. Somebody
is not being completely honest here, and it certainly appears to
be your client.
2. Exchanqe Time. There apparently was some confusion over
the exchange time on both Friday and Sunday. Apparently Mr. Tate
believed the exchange was to be at 5:30 p.m. rather than 6:00
p.m. and Mrs. Youtzy believed it to be at 5:00 p.m. After
discussing this with my client, she would like either a 4:30 p.m.
or a 5:00 p.m. exchange in Newport. This will allow both parties
to have Gregory in their home at a decent hour, both at the start
of Mr. Tate's visit and after the visit. Please advise me of
your client's position as to this proposal.
3. Weekend Make-ups. Our agreement was to be that if Mr.
Tate could not have Gregory during a normally scheduled weekend
because of Gregory being involved in other activities, Mrs. Tate
would allow Mr. Tate to make that up at another time. If you
recall in Chambers, 1 indicated to the Judge that this make-up
should not necessarily be limited to the following weekend but
should be at a time mutually convenient to both parties. A
Exhibit D
BRUGLER & LEVIN
review off the Judge's proposed Order, the paragraph 3(a) seems
to reflect this where the Judge states, "The parties shall
endeavor to exchange a weekend at the earliest possible time." I
am requesting that the Court somewhat modify the language of this
paragraph, as the parties are not "exchanging a weekend" but
rather Mr. Tate is making up lost time and that time should be
the same amount of time as Mr. Tate lost, and not any more or any
less and not necessarily on the next weekend either.
4. Communicat~ons with Child. My client did ask Gregory
what time the exchange would be this past Sunday. However, I
think Mr. Tate left out a few details when he reported this to
you. Mrs. Youtzy attempted to call Mr. Tate twice to speak to
him about this matter. Mr. Tate was not there either time. Mrs.
Youtzy could not get an answer either from Mrs. Tate or Mrs.
Tate's son, so she asked Gregory if he knew. Here is another
little fact your client apparently overlooked and that is he made
arrangements with Greoorv to have his make-up visit this coming
weekend without speaking to Mrs. Youtzy about such beforehand.
This is precisely the complaint my client had going into the
custody conference and exactly what I spoke to both you and to
Judge Searer about. I would ask that you please tell Mr. Tate to
refrain from this behavior in the future.
I have reviewed Judge Searer's proposed Order and would
suggest that the time for returning Gregory home on the first day
of Buck Season be moved up as I understand that the child has
school the next day. Please advise me of your client's position
on this issue. Furthermore, I agree with your proposed change to
paragraph 3(c).
I look forward to hearing from you soon on the issues set
forth above. I am hopeful that we can come up with an Order
which works for everyone.
Very truly yours,
BRUGLER &

PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF
A PARTIAL CUSTODY ORDER
-,
()1
(\')
AND NOW comes Defendant/Petitioner, DAVI T. YOUTZY, and
brings the following Petition and, in support thereof, avers as
follows:
1. On or about January 29, 1999, a custody conference was
held before this Honorable Court and an Order was filed some time
in February as a result of said conference.
2. Since January 29, 1999, the relationship between the
parties has been tumultuous and has deteriorated to the point
that a contempt petition was filed by Father and a counterclaim
was filed by Mother.
3. Mother's averments contained in the Answer to Contempt
Petition with Counterclaim are incorporated herein as if set
forth in full.
4. Prior to the Order dated January 29, 1999, Mother and
Father were able to both have adequate periods of custody with
parties' minor child without the need for intervention by legal
counsel and/or this Court.
LAW OFFICES BRUGLER & LEVIN LEWISTOWN. PA.
5. The only exception to paragraph number 4 was Mother's
filing of a Petition asking that Father not be allowed to show up
for visits while under the influence of alcohol. That situation
was remedied as a result.
6. Father has engaged in a course of conduct since the
Court Order dated January 29, 1999, which can at best be
characterized as offensive.
7. Father frequently calls Mother and makes threats and
uses profanity and carries on similarly in the presence of the
child.
8. The terms and conditions set forth in the Order of
January 29, 1999 are unworkable in the course of daily events in
the lives of the parties to this action, as they are too
restrictive and leave little or no room for flexibility and
common sense.
9. The Summer schedule set forth in the Order dated
January 29, 1999, is unfair as Father has three out of four
weekends of every month and has made a practice of exercising his
one week vacation each month on Mother's only weekend with the
child, thereby resulting in Mother not having any weekends with
her son over the Summer months, as a result of which Father is
getting his child under conditions which Mother would not agree
to at the conference held on January 29, 1999, to wit: Father is
getting the child for the Summer.
LAW OFFICES BRUGLER & LEVIN LEWISTOWN, PA.
10. Mother wishes to return to the terms and conditions for
custody similar to these set forth in the Court's Order issued
prior to January 29, 1999, which worked for approximately six
years without incident.
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Petitioner, DAVI T. YOUTZY,
respectfully requests this Court to vacate the Order of January
29, 1999, and enter an Order which contains the same terms and
conditions as the custody order the parties agreed to and lived
with for approximately six years.

1. On January 29, 1999, this Honorable Court entered an
Order regarding the custody of the parties' minor child, GREGORY
TATE whose is 8 years old having been born on March 21, 1991.
2. T~e custody Order at paragraph 3(a) directs that if
Father misses his weekend or any portion thereof because of the
child's extracurricular activities, the exact amount of time that
has been lost shall be made up.
3. Mother has failed and/or refused to make up time that
has been missed by Father, because of the child's activities.
4. paragraph 9 of the Custody Order states that Mother
shall advise Father of school activities, athletic activities, etc.
5. Father has requested a copy of the child's basketball
and soccer schedules. Nei ther schedule has been provided to Father
by Mother.
6. Mbther failed and/or refused to advise Father when
the child's sctilool photographs and basketball photographs were

BEI...UlFONTE. PA 15823
7. Mother has failed and/or refused to act in a spirit
of cooperation with Father in following the Court Order. She has
been an hour and a half late for a scheduled custody exchange, and
she refuses to sensibly and reasonably discuss make-up times with
Father.
8. By letter dated April 13, 1999, counsel for Father
advised counsel for Mother of the above problems.
See attached.
Additionally, the letter requested a response to a proposed custody
schedule that has been prepared by Father for this summer. On
April 20, 1999, counsel for Mother advised counsel for Father that
a response to that letter would be forthcoming. On May 5, 1999,
counsel for Father was made aware that counsel for Mother will be
out of town untIl May 19, 1999. No response has been provided to
the April 13, 1999 letter from Father's counsel, and Mother
continues, on a regular basis, to flagrantly violate the spirit and
the word of the January 29, 1999 Court Order.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that this
Honorable Court (1) find Mother in contempt of the Custody Order;
(2) direct that Mother be responsible to Father for attorney's fees
incurred in the filing of this Petition; and (3) direct Mother to
strictly comply with all aspects of the Custody Order in the future
or be subject t,O further sanctions.

RE: Tate vs. Youtzy
Dear Mr. Knepp:
I am writing you thlis letter with the hope that we can avoid
requesting the Judge 'for intervention regarding the within raised
matters.
There is approximately 95 hours of time to be made up. My client
tells me that Ms. You~zy will agree to additional times, but then
when he asks her to share the transportation as per paragraph 12 of
the order, she then says that it I S not "make-up" time. When he
asks her what kind of time it is, she then says she will not agree
to the custody exchap.ge at all. She is claiming that you are
supportive of her pos~tion, which I have already told my clients is
simply not the case, as I have found you to be most cooperative in
every instance.
of
Apparently, Gregory h~s no school this week from Wednesday through
Friday. Mr. Tate as)<ed for make-up time from Wednesday after
soccer until Friday at 3:00 p.m. Your client agreed until he asked
her to transport the child to Newport. She then took the position
Orris C. Knepp, III, Esquire
RE: Tate vs. Youtzy
April 13, 1999
Page 2
that it is not "make-up" time and when reminded of the Court Order,
she refused to agree to the custody exchange. Would you please
speak to Ms. Youtzy and request that she comply with the Court
order as to make-up times and transportation.
Because o~..--trre-IIt~ny problems that Mr. Tate is having with Ms.
Youtzy, at my ins' uction, he has prepared a prospective schedule
for this(summer ich I am enclosing. I hope that the exchange of
this scn ill avoid any problems over the next couple of
months, and if the problems regarding make-up times and
transportation can be resol ved with this letter, then everyone
should be happy.
Would you please call me tomorrow and let me know if Ms. Youtzy
agrees to the Wednesday to Friday period of partial custody this
week. I think everyone agrees that next weekend, April 23 to April
25, will continue Mr. Tate's regular weekend period of custody.
I appreciate your continued cooperation with this matter.
Very truly

ORDER
NOW, January 29, 1999, after custody conference held this date, and upon
agreement of the parties, the Court enters the following:
1. G. SCOTT TATE and DAVI T. YOUTZV shall both have the legal right to
make major decisions affecting the best interests of their minor child, GREGORY
TATE, including but not limited to medical, religious, and educational decisions.
Each parent shall be cofllsidered to be a custodial parent and each shall have the
right to access all information concerning these matters including all hospital, doctor,
and school records.
2. Primary physical custody of GREGORY TATE shall be in his Mother,
DAVI T. YOUTZY
3. Partial physical custody of GREGORY TATE shall be in his Father,
G. SCOTT TATE, as follows:
1
a.) during the school year every other weekend, when the parties
will meet at McDonalds in Newport, Pennsylvania on Friday at
5:00 p.m. and on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. to exchange the child. If
father misses his weekend or any portion thereof because of the
child's extracurricular activities, the exact amount of time that
has been lost by Father shall be made up. The make-up time
shall be the following weekend, if mutually agreed upon between
the parties. Otherwise the lost time shall be made up at the
earliest possible time that is mutually agreeable between the
parties. If Father takes advantage of his full weekend from
Friday at 5:00 p.m. until Sunday at 5:00 p.m. and if the child has
an e~racurricular activity during that time Father shall see to it
that the child attends his activity unless Father has some special
plans to take the child out of town or otherwise take the child to
a specially scheduled event such as a family wedding, reunions,
and the like. If such a special event exists Father shall give
reasonable notification to Mother of the scheduled event.
b.) during the school vacation, three (3) out of four (4) weekends
per month from 6:00 p.m. Friday until 6:00 p.m. Sunday;
c.) with 24 (TWENTY-FOUR) hours notice to the Mother, during
the summer months Father may exercise a period of partial
custody one day per week in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and
during the school year, with 24 (TWENTY-FOUR) hours notice,
Father may exercise a period of partial custody in Carlisle when
Father is attending his son's activities there;
d.) for ai period of three (3) non-consecutive weeks with 30
(THIRTY) days prior notice to the Mother. It is anticipated that
more often than not said three (3) weeks will be exercised by the
Father during the summer, however, the Court recognizes that
the parties have in the past arranged extended periods of
custody during the school year to provide for family trips.
Further, a reasonable extension of the seven (7) day period for
an additional day or two will not be unreasonably denied upon
good cause shown;
e.) Father shall have custody in odd numbered years on the
following holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, and Labor
Day. Custody shall commence at 5:00 p.m. the day before the
holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the holiday;
2
f.) Father shall have custody in even numbered years on the
following holidays: Easter, Independence Day, and
Thanksgiving. Custody shall commence at 5:00 p.m. the day
before the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the
holiday;
g.) In 1999 and in odd numbered years thereafter, Father shall have
custody from 5:00 p.m. December 25th until 8:00 p.m.
December 27th;
h.) In 2000 and even numbered years thereafter, Father shall
have custody from 5:00 p.m December 23rd until 5:00 p.m.
December 25th;
L) Each year on the first day of Trout Season. Should that
Saturday fall on Mother's alternate weekend, Father shall trade
one of his weekends to the Mother in exchange for this period
of custody;
j.) When Father's alternate weekend immediately precedes the first
day of antlered deer season, Father's weekend shall extend to
6:00 p.m. on that Monday. The Court anticipates that the parties
may modify this arrangement to accommodate the best interests
of the child when the child becomes lawfully old enough to
hunt and indicates a desire to do so.
k.) Each Father's Day weekend from 6:00 p.m. Friday until
6:00 p.m. Sunday;
4. Mother shall have custody in odd numbered years on the following
holidays: Easter, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. Custody shall commence at
5:00 p.m. the day before the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the
holiday.
5. Mother shall have custody in even numbered years on the following
holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. Custody shall commence
at 5:00 p.m. the day before the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the day of the
holiday.
3
6. Mother shall have custody each Mother's Day weekend from Friday at
6:00 p.m. until Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
7. Each parent shall have reasonable phone contact with their child.
(8:00 a.m. through 9:00 p.m.)
8. Each of the parents shall insure that any medications for the child shall
accompany the child to and from visits.
9. Mother shall advise Father of all school activities, athletic activities, health
decisions, and the like.
10. All health care providers and school officials may answer any questions of
either Parent or may provide copies of any records pertaining to GREGORY TATE
which are requested by either Parent.
11. Upon agreement of the parties and with the appropriate authorizations as
required by the Carlisle School District, Father may on occasion be permitted to pick
GREGORY TATE up at school.
12. During all weekend periods of custody, during make-up times of custody,
as well as Mother's Day, Father's Day, the first day of Buck Season, and the first day
of Trout Season, the parties shall exchange custody at the McDonald's in Newport,
Pennsylvania.
13. During all other holidays and extended week long vacation periods,
Father shall pick the child up at the beginning of his period of custody, and Mother
shall pick the child up at the end of Father's period of custody.
4
14. The parties shall endeavor to accomplish the exchange of custody in a
prompt manner according to the times set forth in this Order. Should either party be
consistently late (Le. 20 minutes or more and 3 times or more) a request for
sanctions will be entertained by the Court.
15. All communications having to do with custody issues, including but not
limited to the determination of primary custody and or arrangements for
transportation under the provisions of this Order shall take place between G. SCOTT
TATE and DAVI T. YOUTZY. At no time shall GREGORY TATE be used as a
messenger for any reason.
16. The specific provisions of this Order found at 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h, 3k, 4, 5, and 6
shall take precedence over the general provisions of this Order.
17. The child shall not sleep in the same room with the Youtzy's house
guest, Khalid AI Bulaihed.

one (1) minor child, GREGORY TATE, whose date of birth is March
21, 1991.
2. On October 8, 1993, this Honorable Court entered a
custody Order. A true and correct copy of said Order is attached

4. The child is now seven (7) years old and Plaintiff
desires to spend a greater amount of time with the child than is

years, the parties have expanded the amount of time during which
the child has been in the partial physical custody of his father
beyond the terms of the October 8, 1993 Court Order.
5. Accordingly, Plaintiff is requesting that the
existing custody Order be modified to provide as follows:
a. That Plaintiff shall have partial physical custody
of the minor child for three (3) weekends out of every
four (4) weekends from 6:00 p.m. on Friday until 6:00
p.m. on Sunday;
b. That father shall have partial physical custody of
the minor child each and every year on Father's Day
from 5:00 p.m. the day before until 8:00 p.m. on
Father's Day;
c. That father shall have partial physical custody of
the minor child each and every year on the first day of
Buck Season, the first day of Doe Season and the first
day of Trout Season from 5:00 p.m. the day before until
8:00p.m. of the special day;
d. That father shall have periods of partial physical
custody with the child for three (3) full weeks of
vacation (from sunday until the following sunday)
during the calendar year;
e. That starting in 1999 and in all odd-numbered years
father shall have partial physical custody of the child
from December 23rd at 5:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve
thro~gh and including Christmas Day at 5:00 p.m., and
that in even-numbered years father shall have the child
from 5:00 p.m. on Christmas Day until 8:00 p.m. on
December 27;
HAMIL TON AND KIMMEL
f. That father shall have partial physical custody of
the child in all even-numbered years on Easter,
Than~sgiving and the Fourth of July, and that father
shall have partial physical custody of the child in all
odd-numbered years on New Years Day, Memorial Day and

h. T~at father shall have reasonable telephone
privileges between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
on a daily basis when the child is in the custody of

requests that the Court amend the existing custody Order to
provide as follows:

father's home with all proper medication including
asthma medication, antibiotics, and the like;
b. Father's name shall be added to the list of persons
who may pick the child up from school in the event that

~~~~;:;CQfieS of any records requested by either
d. that the parties shall split equally all non-
cove~ed medical costs incurred by, for or on behalf of
the minor child.
7. Senerally, father has provided most of the
transportation to effectuate periods of partial custody for the
past five years. Father requests that the Court include in its
amended Order a provision providing that the parties shall share
transportation, specifically, father shall get the child from
mother's house to begin the periods of partial physical custody
and mother shall pick the child up from father's house at the end
of the periods of partial physical custody.
8. Finally, father has recently been made aware of the

Honorable Court enter an Order directing that the tenant shall
not sleep in the same room as the minor child and that the tenant
shall not babysiit the minor child or otherwise be alone with the
child without ~nother responsible adult present.
9. hn amendment to the existing custody Order as
requested above will be in the best interests of the minor child.
WHEREFORE, it is respectively requested that this
Honorable Court amend the existing October 8, 1993 Order to
include the provisions requested in this petition.

now known as DAVI T. YOUTZY
Defendant/Petitioner
PETITION TO MODIFY
AND NOW comes Petitioner, DAVI T. TATE,
now
YOUTZY, by and through her counsel, Brugler & Levin, and brings
the following Petition for Modification of Custody, and in
support thereof avers as follows:
1. On October 8, 1993, an Order of Court was entered for
custody in the above-captioned action and that said Order was
modified after conference held January 9, 1995;
2. Both of said Orders should be modified because the
parties are no longer abiding by the terms and conditions set
forth therein and problems have developed between the parties as
well.
3. The above-mentioned problems include: transportation of
the child, including a recent incident where the Respondent
refused to return the child to the Petitioner's home in Carlisle,
Cumberland County, PA, as the Respondent wanted to leave and, in
fact, did leave to go to hunting camp, even though he knew that
Petitioner did not have transportation to come pick the child up
until her husband c~me home from work; Respondent and his wife
purchased a cat and the parties' child has an allergy to cats.
LAW OFFICES BRUGLER & LEVIN LEWISTOWN, PA.
Furthermore, the child has a history of breathing problems and
takes medicine and breathing treatments for said medical
condition, yet Respondent does not give the child breathing
treatments and when Petitioner complains, Respondent has
repeatedly told the Wetitioner that the child's doctor has
misdiagnosed the child, despite the fact that there is no medical
evidence to support the Respondent's assertion; Respondent also
is putting pressure ~n the child to move in with the Respondent
during visits and the child complains to Petitioner when he
returns home about the pressure his father is putting on him; and
the parties have both remarried and circumstances have changed,
so that it is otherwise necessary to modify the current custody
orders.
WHEREFORE, DAVI T. TATE, now known as DAVI T. YOUTZY,
respectfully requests that the Court modifies the current Custody
Order because it is in the best interests of the child.

despite repeated requests for him to do so by the Petitioner;

allow Petitioner's family members to pick the child up at the
conclusion of Respo~dent's period of visitation and, instead,
retained physical c~stody of the child until Petitioner travelled
from Dover, York Co~nty, PA, to pick the child up.
8. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not
been terminated and the person who has physical custody of the

v.
2002-901 CIVIL TERM
DAVI T. YOUTZY,
Defendant
IN CUSTODY
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 7th day of August, 2002, after hearing, it
is hereby ordered and directed that all prior custody orders are
vacated and replaced with the following:
l. G. Scott Tate and Davi T. Youtzy shall both have the
legal right to make major decisions affecting the best interests
of their minor child, Gregory Tate, including but not limited to
medical, religious, and educational decisions. Each parent
shall be considered to be a custodial parent and each shall have
the right to access all information concerning these matters
including all hospital, doctor, and school records.
2. Primary physical custody of Gregory Tate shall be in his
Mother, Davi T. Youtzy.
3. Partial physical custody of Gregory Tate shall be in his
Father, G. Scott Tate, as follows:
A. Every other weekend from 6:00 p.m. on
Friday until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. If the
Father misses his weekend or any portion
thereof because of the child's extra-
curricular activities, the time missed
shall be made up. The make-up times shall
be the following weekend, if mutually agreed
upon between the parties. Otherwise, the
lost time should be made up at the earliest
possible time that is mutually agreeable
between the parties. If Father takes
advantage of his full weekend, and if the
child has an extracurricular activity during
that time, the Father shall see to it that
the child attends his activity unless Father
has some special plans to take the child out
of town or otherwise take the child to a
specially scheduled event, such as a family
wedding, reunions, etc. If special events
exist, Father shall give reasonable
notification to Mother of the scheduled
event. The exchange for said visitations
shall continue to be at the McDonald's in
Newport, as per the previous arrangement.
B. With 24 hours notice to the Mother, during
the summer months from the first week after
school ends until August l5, 2002, Father may
exercise overnight visitation with the child
for up to three days each weekday. Provided,
Father must make sure that the child gets to
his extracurricular activities. Mother may
exempt one of those weeks upon 30-day written
notice to Father for the express purpose of a
family vacation if she has one scheduled.
c. For a period of three non-consecutive weeks
with 30 days prior notice to the Mother. It
is anticipated that more often than not said
three weeks will be exercised by the Father
during the summer; however, the Court
recognizes that the parties have in the past
arranged extended periods of custody during
the school year to provide for family trips.
Further, a reasonable extension of the seven
day period for an additional day or two will
not be unreasonably denied upon good cause
shown.
D. Father shall have custody in odd numbered
years on the following holidays: New Years
Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. Custody
shall commence at 5:00 p.m. the day before
the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the
day of the holiday.
E. Father shall have custody in even numbered
years on the following holidays: Easter,
Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. Custody
shall commence at 5:00 p.m. the day before
the holiday and shall end at 8:00 p.m. the

DAVI T, YOUTZY,
Defendant
IN CUSTODY
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 7th day of August, 2002, after hearing, it
is hereby ordered and directed that all prior custody orders are
vacated and replaced with the following:
1, G. Scott Tate and Davi T, Youtzy shall both have the
legal right to make major decisions, affecting the best interests
of their minor child, Gregory Tate, including but not limited to
medical, religious, and educational decisions, Each parent
shall be considered to be a custodial parent and each shall have
the right to access all information concerning these matters
including all hospital, doctor, and school records,
2. Primary physical custody of Gregory Tate shall be in his
Mother, Davi T. Youtzy.
3. Partial physical custody of Gregory Tate shall be in his
Father, G, Scott Tate, as follows:
A, Every other weekend from 6:00 p.m, on
Friday until 6:00 p.m, on Sunday, If the

thereof because of the child's extra-
curricular activities, the time missed
shall be made up. The make-up times shall
be the following weekend, if mutually agreed
upon between the parties, Otherwise, the
lost time should be made up at the earliest
possible time that is mutually agreeable
between the parties. If Father takes
"EXIiIBIT 4"
advantage of his full weekend, and if the
child has an extracurricular activity during
that time, the Father shall see to it that
the child attends his activity unless Father
has some special plans to take the child out
of town or otherwise take the child to a
specially scheduled event, such as a family

notice to Father for the express purpose of a
family vacation if she has one scheduled,
C. For a period of three non-cons,ecutive weeks
with 30 days prior notice to the Mother, It

recognizes that the parties have in the past
arranged extended periods of custody during
the school year to provide for family trips.

not be unreasonably denied upon good cause
shown.

1800 BLOCK OF THE RITNER HW, I S~rARTED TRAVELING EAST ON THE
RITNER HW. TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION OF ALLEN RD, WHEN I OBSERVED
A TRACTOR TRAILER APPROACHING THl~ INTERSECTION HEADED WEST. I
THEN NOTICED A CAR COMING UP BEHIND IT AND THEN CROSSING THE

THE CENTERLINE COMPLETELY AND THE~ RETURNED TO THE WEST BOUND
LANES OF TRAVEL BEHIND TRActOR TRAILER, AS I NEAR$D IT THE '

BY A WHITE FEMALE WHO APPEARED TO BE STARING STRAIGHT AHEAD OF
HER AND DIDN'T NOTICE ME PASS HER,
IT TURNED LEFT ONTO ALLEN RD. AND I TURNED AROUND TO STOP THE
VEHICLE TO FIND OUT WHY IT HAD CROSSED THE CENTERLINE AS IF IT
WERE GOING TO PASS THE TRACTOR TRAILER AS IT APPROACHED THE
INTERSECTION. I STOPPED THE GOLD BUICK REGAL BEARING PA#EJW-8949
ON ALLEN RD, AT THE LOGISTICS DR, INTERSECTION.
I APPROACHED THE FEMALE DRIVER AND ASKED TO SEE HER LICENSE AND
REGISTRATION CARDS. SHE ASKED WHY I HAD STOPPED HER AND I STATED
THAT I WANTED TO KNOW WHY SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF
THE ROAD AND IF SHE WAS TRYING TO PASS THE TRACTOR TRAILER. SHE
ADVISED SHE WAS GOING TO GO AROUND IT. I DETECTED A STRONG ODOR
OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE COMING FROM THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE
WINDOW HAD ONLY BEEN CRACKED ABoU'r TWO INCHES WHILE I TALKED
WITH HER.
SHE LOOKED FOR HER LICENSE AND REGISTRATION AND AFTER A WHILE
FOUND HER LICENSE AND HANDED IT TO ME BUT COULDN' 'I' GET IT TO ME
BECAUSE THE WINDOW WASN 1 T OPEN ENOUGH AND SHE ACTUALLY STRUCK
THE WINDOW WITH IT AND LOOKED BEWILDERED AS IF SHE WONDERED
HOW THAT HAPPENED, SHE THEN LOWERED THE WINDOW MORE AND THE
ODOR BECAME STRONGER, SHE CONTINUED LOOKING FOR HER REGISTRATION
AND FINALLY LOCATED IT AND HANDED IT TO ME,
I THEN ASKED IF SHE HAD BEEN DRINKING AND SHE REPLIED YES TWO
BEERS. I THEN TOLD HER THAT I HAD DETECTED A STRONG ODOR AND I
WANTED HER TO STEP OUT OF THE CAR SO I COULD CHECK HER TO SEE IF
SHE WAS ALRIGHT TO DRIVE.
SHE STEPPED OUT AND I DIRECTED HER TO THE 'REAR OF HER CAR
BETWEEN MY CRUISER AND HER CAR, I ADVISED HER THAT I WANTED TO
CHECK HER EYES AND INSTRUCTED HER IN THE HGN EXERCISE, WHILE SHE

CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the child who is the subject of this litigation
is as follows:
Gregory Tate, born March 21, 1991.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on Augnst 12, 2005, with the following
individuals in attendance:
The father, G. Scott Tate, with his counsel, Michael A. Scherer, Esquire, and the
mother, Davi T. Youtzy, with her counsel, Paul B. Orr, Esquire.
3. This is very difficult case. The child is in the primary custody of the mother pursuant
to an Order from August of 2002 after a hearing before Judge Guido.
4. The mother was arrested for DUI on October 4, 2004. She was arrested at 2:40 a.m.
Her blood alcohol was .179. This is her second offense. Mother never told the father
of this arrest and her criminal proceedings have been delayed. She recently pled
guilty to DUI as a second offense, and the District Attorney indicated at the guilty
plea that she is facing a ninety-day mandatory minimum. Sentencing is scheduled for
October 18, 2005 before Judge Hess.
5. Gregory is going into ninth grade. He is starting football and desires also to wrestle.
The father believes that the child should come and live with him because of these
circumstances. The mother suggests that she will be appealing the applicability of the
ninety-day mandatory sentence and that she anticipates not going to jail because of
those appeals. She may also be filing a motion to withdraw her guilty plea.
6. Despite a decade long tradition of not speaking with the child, the Conciliator spoke
with the child in this particular circumstance primarily because of the situation with
the child starting football. Greg is a fme young man and was very articulate and
identified a number of concerns. He does not want to move out of a school district in
the middle of the year which may happen if his mother goes to jail during the school
year. He further commented that he has some concerns that his stepdad also was not
aware of these criminal charges and he believes the stepfather just became aware of
these charges or the stepfather still does not know. Greg articulated a concern that
these circumstances may cause a major problem between his mother and his
stepfather which would be further disruption in his home. Finally, without
prompting from the Conciliator, he expressed a concern that his mother was going
out a bit a few years ago when they had the other hearing and she had cut that
behavior out, but he was concerned that now she is going out again at night. The fact
that she was arrested on a Sunday evening at 2:40 a.m. with a blood alcohol of .179
supports the young man's concern.
7. Greg expressed a desire to be with his father rather than have his school year
interrupted in Carlisle. He would prefer ideally to remain in the Carlisle system, but
he has concerns and doesn't want to take many risks with respect to getting
transferred midterm with the associated disrnption of the school classes and his
athletic activities.
8. Based upon the above, the Conciliator recommends an Order inunediately
transferring custody of the child so that the child can start football practice at the
father's school district. The mother is not in agreement, and requests a hearing. The
Court should then schedule an inunediate hearing as soon as possible to address
testimony on these issues. The Conciliator's feeling is that the Court will rule in favor
of the father, but even if the custody is returned back to the mother for the school
year the Conciliator is of the opinion that a few weeks practice at the other school
district is not going to overwhelmingly prejudice the young man with football at
Carlisle High School.
9. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached.

Hubert X. Gilroy, Esquire V
Cnstody Conciliator
Honorable Judge Guido,
On Wednesday August 10 my attorney Paul Orr informed me by telephone that
I had a hearing on Friday August 12 pertaining to my child Gregory Tate. Based on the
assumption that I had a DUI with the possibility of a 90 day jail sentence. The conciliator
thought the minor Tate should be removed from the Carlisle Area School District and
reside with his father in Mifflin County Pa. The reasoning was that I could possibly serve
a 90 day jail term and my ex-husband made an assumption that my husband would file
for divorce. Please note that both statements are thoughts and not facts. This custody
case came before you in August 2002. Gregory is still the same well rounded student,
athletic child he was then.
Two weeks prior to this August meeting, Gregory's father telephoned him
regularly even while my son was on vacation in Myrtle Beach berating, belittling, and
scaring him with accusations about me. My husband, my niece and my sister can attest to
his nervousness and tears he shed over this. These two statements are facts. Knowing this
the conciliator recommends the minor child be removed from his safe home of 12 years
and be given to this threatening man.
Also, lost in the course of this meeting is the fact that Gregory has a sibling.
Bryanna is his eight year sister. Conciliator Gilroy's recommendation would not only
effect Gregory but also leave his sibling sister with damaging psychological side effects.
Not only do I feel that something unethical took place during this Friday August
12 meeting, I feel my Civil Rights were violated. I was not only found guilty at this
meeting I was sentenced as well. Before awarding any Custodial Petition please talk with
my husband, my minor child and myself.
Thank you for your sincere consideration in this matter.
Bryan L. and Davi T. Youtzy
