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 Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Kaylee Burdick-Gaul
May 19,2003
Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on February 28, 2006, with the following
individuals in attendance: The Mother, Nicole C. Burdick, with her counsel, Debra D. Cantor, Esquire.
Neither the Father, Benjamin M. Burdick, nor his counsel of record, Susan K. Pickford, Esquire
attended the conference. However, the Father's counsel contacted the conciliator to advise that she
would not be attending the conference on the Father's behalf as the Father had not responded to her
communications. It should be noted that the conference was initially scheduled for January 31, 2006
on the Mother's petition, but was rescheduled due to the Father's unavailability arising from health
issues.
3. The parties entered into a written custody stipulation on June 26, 2003 granting the Mother
primary physical custody of the Child and providing for supervised visitation with the Father as
arranged by agreement. On February 10,2005, the Father filed a Complaint for Custody and a Petition
for Special Relief on which the Court scheduled a hearing for February 25, 2005. A custody
conciliation conference had also been scheduled for March 22, 2005. On February 25, 2005, the Court
entered an Order (based on the parties' agreement) prohibiting either party from removing the Child
from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As neither party appeared for the conciliation conference in
March 2005, no further action was taken at that time.
-
.'
4. The Mother filed this petition requesting that the parties' custody stipulation dated June 26,
2003 be entered as a Court Order.
5. Based on the representations made by the Mother at the conference, the fact that the
stipulation signed by both parties included a provision providing that either party may obtain a Court
Order reflecting the terms of the stipulation, and the fact that the Father did not attend the conference
(which was rescheduled on his behalf) or contact the conciliator, the conciliator recommends an Order
in the form as attached.

Undersigned counsel therefore respectfully requests that This Honorable Court grant
leave to withdraw as counsel of record for Plaintiff in this action and to further grant
Plaintiff an additional thirty (30) days to retain new counsel and have his new attorney
enter an appearance on his behalf. A copy of this Motion was sent by certified and
