PRIOR JUDGE: Edgar B. Bayley, P.J.
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Hayley E. Clepper February 24, 2003 shared
2. A Conciliation Conference was held July 21, 2008 with the following
individuals in attendance: The Father, Mark R. Clepper, with his counsel, Michael A.
Scherer, Esquire, and the Mother, Candice A. Clepper, with her counsel, Michael M.
Jerominski, Esquire.
3. The Honorable Edgar B. Bayley, P.J. previously entered an Order of Court
dated May 2, 2005, providing for shared legal custody and shared physical custody. The
child will enter kindergarten in the fall and the parties disagree with where she will attend
and who she will live with primarily when attending school.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal and
primary physical custody. Father asserts that Mother has had three children to three
different men and is unstable. Father on the other hand maintains that he has lived in
Newville a long time and intends to remain there and that the child should attend school
in the Big Spring School District. Father opposes the child attending Harrisburg schools,
but Mother has proposed a private school. Father however is concerned about the cost of
a private school. Father would maximize Mother's time with the child during the school
year and Mother would have primary physical custody of the child in the summer.
i
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal
custody and primary physical custody. Mother requests the child attend St. Margaret
Mary School. Mother maintains that her two younger children also will attend the same
school in the day care program. Mother has concerns about Father's mental health and
criminal history. Father is currently enrolled in the Cumberland County Treatment Court.
He is scheduled to successfully complete the program in September. Mother further has
concerns about the care Father provides to the child when she is in his care. Mother is
also willing to maximize Father's time with the child and for Father to have primary
physical custody of the child in the summer.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and maintaining the status quo. It is expected that the Hearing will require
one-half day.
