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:
Bailey E. Seeger, born October 29,2003.
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on April 28, 2005, with the following individuals
in attendance:
Mother, Christina L. Reiber, with her counsel, Marcus A. Mcknight, III, Esquire,
and father, Bryan L. Seeger, with his counsel, Jeffrey N. Yoffe, Esquire.
3. The parties separated this past December. Since that time, mother has had primary
custody. However, the father asserts that he was seeking primary custody or
additional time with the minor child and that the mother did not accommodate the
father's requests. Father is seeking primary custody of the child, and mother is also
seeking primary custody. The situation is such that the father works from 6:00 a.m.
until 5:30 p.m. each weekday, and mother works a modified schedule which includes
some weekends and some evenings during the week.
4. The parties are unable to reach an agreement and a hearing is required. The
Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached, but the Conciliator notes
that his recommendation is not intended to prejudge the case and is based solely on
limited information the Conciliator has received at the Conciliation Conference.
