CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
I. The pertinent information concerning the Children who are the subjects of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Kyle William Love
Kyra Veronica Love
September 7, 2004

2. A conciliation conference was held on March 15, 2005, with the following individuals in
attendance: The Father, Patrick Love, with his counsel, Susan K. Pickford, Esquire, and the Mother,
Candice Jo Bums, with her counsel, Samuel L. Andes, Esquire.
3. The Father initially filed a Complaint for Custody for which a conciliation conference was
held on February 7, 2005. As a result of the conference, an Order was entered by agreement on
February 14, 2005 under which the Mother had primary physical custody of the Children and the
Father had increasing periods of custody with the Children under a specific schedule. The parties
agreed at the initial conference as reflected in the Order that they intended to gradually expand the
Father's custodial time with the Children to a more shared arrangement. A follow-up conference was
scheduled for March 15, 2005, which is the subject of (his Report and Order. Following the
conference on March 15, 2005, the Report and Order was held in this matter by agreement to facilitate
further consideration of the proposed schedule. This matter was further held to enable counsel to have
additional conversations regarding an interim custody arrangement as it appeared to be necessary to
schedule a hearing.
.
.
4. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father believes that the periods of
custody with the Children under the prior Order dated February 14, 2005, went very well and the
Children are ready for expansion to overnight periods of custody. The Father believes it would be best
for the Children to spend more time with him and he is willing and able to properly provide care for
them during his periods of custody. The Father proposed that he have custody of the Children on
alternating weekends from Friday through Sunday and on the two weekdays the Father has off from
work for overnight periods.
5. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother believes that (here should be a
phase-in of the overnight periods of custody before the full weekend periods begin. The Mother also
feels it would be best for the Children if the weekday periods of custody were reduced to one day when
the full weekends begin and that the one day period of custody not be expanded to an overnight period.
6. There were no specific concerns identified at the conference explaining the difficulties the
parties were having in reaching a resolution as to an ongoing schedule. It is the impression of the
conciliator that the basis for the differences in the parties' perspectives on scheduling has more to do
with adjustment issues and concerns regarding further expansion. The parties were also unable to
reach an agreement, even after additional time for negotiation, as to the interim schedule pending the
hearing. Consequently, recommended arrangements are included in the attached proposed Order. The
recommended interim schedule reflects an acknowledgement of the parties' understanding at the prior
conciliation conference in February that the schedule would be expanded to a more shared arrangement
but does not drastically alter the status quo pending the hearing. It is anticipated that both parties may
object to the temporary recommendations contained in the attached Order. It is expected that the
hearing will require at least one-half day.
