1. Petitioner is the above-named Plaintiff, hereinafter referred to as Mother, who
resides at 208 Westminster Avenue, Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania, 17311.
2. Respondent is the above-named Defendant, who resides at 409 Miller Avenue,
New Cumberland, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17070.
3. The parties are the natural and biological parents of the minor child, Lucien
Connors, born September 29, 2004.
4. Mother, her two biological daughters, Defendant and the minor child, Lucien
Connors, resided at the 409 Miller Avenue address until April 2005, when
Defendant took Lucien from the home and told Mother to leave.
5. Mother has not seen Lucien since April 21, 2005, when Defendant took the
to Dubois, Pennsylvania, while Mother was at school. When Defendant left, he
had been babysitting Mother's two daughters and he left them alone in the home
until Mother returned from class at 10:00 p.m.
6. Defendant has threatened Mother that unless she agrees to his terms regarding
custody and unless she signs papers that he has drafted, she will not be allowed
see Lucien,
r
7. Defendant is not acting in Lucien's best interest for reasons including, but not
limited to, the following:
a. Defendant took Lucien from Mother in a deceitful mariner, leaving late
night while Mother was at school and leaving two minor children
unsupervised in the home.
b. Defendant refused to tell Mother where he was taking the child and
returning to the local area with Lucien, he has refused to allow Mother
contact with the child. Mother believes that when Defendant returned to
the local area, he stayed with his parents before returning to the
that the parties had shared.
c. Lucien has never been away from Mother for any extended amount of
time and Defendant does not know how to provide the necessary and
appropriate day-to-day care required for an infant child.
d. From April 5, 2005 until April 8, 2005, Lucien was hospitalized in the
isolation unit at Harrisburg Hospital.. During that time, Mother stayed at
the hospital while Defendant's only extended visit was the day before the
child was discharged.
e. On April 22, 2005, Lucien had a follow-up appointment to track the
progress of his recovery. Defendant took Lucien on Thursday, April 21,
2005, and cancelled the appointment, insisting that taking the child to
DuBois, Pennsylvania was in the child's best interest.
f. Throughout the pregnancy, Mother had medical difficulties. The doctors
advised the parties that Lucien should not be exposed to cigarette smoke.
Despite these admonitions, Defendant allows Lucien to be exposed to
cigarette smoke.
8. Mother is the parent who can best provide for Lucien for reasons including,
not limited to, the following:
a. Mother is presently able to provide for Lucien by giving him a
and stable home environment and providing for his emotional, physical,
medical and educational needs.
b. Since Lucien's birth, Mother is the person who has provided for his
needs and has done so without assistance from Defendant.
c. Mother can best facilitate and maintain any contact between Lucien and
Defendant.
9. Mother requests that the Court grant shared legal and primary physical custody
the child to her and grant Defendant periods of partial physical custody at times
agreed upon by the parties.
10. Without this Court's intervention, Mother and Lucien are at risk of irreparable
harm by being denied contact with each other.
11. It is unknown whether Defendant has legal counsel and, therefore, there has not
been an attempt to request concurrence for the relief requested.
WHEREFORE, Mother respectfully requests that the Court order the following:
a. That Defendant is ordered to immediately return the child to Mother.
b. That the Court order the police to facilitate the transfer of custody
pursuant to the Court Order.
c. The parties shall have shared legal custody of the child.
d. Mother shall have primary physical custody of the child.
e. Defendant shall have periods of partial physical custody at times agreed upon
the parties.
f. Any other relief this court deems just and proper.

PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
AND NOW comes the Petitioner, Tim Connors, by his attorney, Stacy B. Wolf, Esquire, and
files this petition for special relief respectfully representing as follows:
1. The plaintiff is Litia Conner, formerlyMaggie Rae Sarver, an adult individual with an
unknown residence in or near West Chester, Pennsylvania.
2. The defendant is Tim Connors, an adult individual who resides at 6406 Glenwood Street,
Mechanicsburg, PA 17050 and who has resided at this address for more than one and one-half years. .
3. The plaintiff and defendant are the natural parents of one minor child, namely.
N= Present Residence -Agr.
Lucien Connors Unknown 4 years
D.O.B. 9/29/2004
4. The child is presently the subject of an Order for Custody issued August 5, 2005 by the
Honorable Edward E. Guido, providing for shared legal custody and shared physical custody of the
child on a week on/week off basis. A true and correct copy of the order of which modification is
sought is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
5. The child is also the subject of an Order for Custody entered November 21, 2005 by the
Honorable Edward E. Guido, establishing a holiday schedule. A true and correct copy of this order is
attached hereto as Exhibit "B."
6. Mother relocated to or near West Chester, Pennsylvania with the child in or around early
October, 2008 without providing prior notice to or obtaining the consent of Father and without
petitioning this Court for permission to relocate. Father was unaware of this situation until
approximately early November, 2008. To date, despite repeated requests from Father, Mother has not
provided Father with the address of the residence where she and the child are residing.
7. Despite the provisions in the August 5, 2005 Order providing that custody exchanges will
take place at the Giant in Dillsburg, Mother is now demanding that custody exchanges take place in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
8. Father believes and therefore avers that it would be in the best interests of the child for this
Court to issue an Order for Special Relief, directing Mother to return the child to the jurisdiction and to
grant temporary primary physical custody to Father and shared legal custody of the child to the parties
pending the opportunity for a hearing before the Court on the permanent custody of the child.
9. Father has, simultaneously with the filing of the instant Petition, also filed a Petition for
Modification of Custody with the Court.
10. Mother is unstable, has been neglecting the child's medical and dental care including not
ensuring the child has his necessary immunizations, the child exhibits behavior problems and disrespect
toward women when he returns from Mother's household, and Father has concerns the child is being
physically hit by Mother, his half sisters, and the child reports also by Mother's boyfriend.
11. Father has a wonderful job at Northwestern Human Services Autism School where he
works with Autistic children and has regular school day hours.
12. The child will be starting school this fall, and Father believes it would be in the child's best
interests to attend school at Cumberland Valley School District, which is where the child would attend
if residing with Father.
13. Due to Father's work schedule, he will be available to care for the child every afternoon,
evening, and week end during the hours the child is not in school.
14. Father seeks primary physical and shared legal custody of the child and maintains a stable
household in which he could provide for the medical, educational, emotional and physical needs of the
child in a stable, safe, and nurturing environment.
15. The best interests of the child would be served by this Court granting the relief requested
herein due to the fact that Mother has completely disregarded the August 5, 2005 Court Order,
providing that the parties have shared legal custody, by relocating with the child without the consent of
Father or prior Court approval, due to the fact the child's needs have been neglected and his permanent
welfare is at risk if he remains in the custody of Mother.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Tim Connors, prays this Honorable Court enter a Temporary
Custody Order directing Respondent, Litia Conner, to return the child to this jurisdiction, and granting
temporary primary physical custody of the child to Petitioner/Father pending the opportunity for a
hearing before the Court on the. permanent custody of the child, granting periods of visitation to
Respondent/Mother, and continuing shared legal custody of the child with the parties pending further
Order of Court, and directing the Court Administrator to schedule an expedited hearing to address the
issues raised in this matter.

PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY
AND NOW comes the Petitioner, Tim Connors, by his attorney, Stacy B. Wolf, Esquire, and
files this petition for modification of custody, respectfully representing as follows:
1. The plaintiff/ respondent is Litia Conner, formerly Maggie Rae Sarver, an adult individual
with an unknown residence in or near West Chester, Pennsylvania.
2. The defendant/petitioner is Tim Connors, an adult individual who resides at 6406
Glenwood Street, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050 and who has resided at this address for more than one and
one-half years.
3. The plaintiff and defendant are the natural parents of one minor child, namely:
Na= Present Residence Agg
Lucien Connors Unknown 4 years
D.O.B. 9/29/2004
4. The child is presently the subject of an Order for Custody issued August 5, 2005 by the
Honorable Edward E. Guido, providing for shared legal custody and shared physical custody of the
child on a week on/week off basis. A true and correct copy of the order of which modification is
sought is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
5. The child is also the subject of an Order for Custody entered November 21, 2005 by the
Honorable Edward E. Guido, establishing a holiday schedule. A true and correct copy of this order is
attached hereto as Exhibit "B."
6. Father seeks a modification of custody based upon developments that have occurred since
the issuance of said custody orders.
7. Mother relocated to or near West Chester, Pennsylvania with the child in or around early
October, 2008 without providing prior notice to or obtaining the consent of Father and without
petitioning this Court for permission to relocate. Father was unaware of this situation until
approximately early November, 2008. To date, despite repeated requests from Father, Mother has not
provided Father with the address of the residence where she and the child are residing.
8. Father has, simultaneously with the filing of the instant Petition, also filed a Petition for
Special Relief with the Court seeking temporary primary physical and shared legal custody of the
child.
9. Mother is unstable, has been neglecting the child's medical and dental care including not
ensuring the child has his necessary immunizations, the child exhibits behavior problems and disrespect
toward women when he returns from Mother's household, and Father has concerns the child is being
physically hit by Mother, his half sisters, and the child reports also by Mother's boyfriend.
10. Father has a wonderful job at Northwestern Human Services Autism School where he
works with Autistic children and has regular school day hours.
11. The child will be starting school this fall, and Father believes it would be in the child's best
interests to attend school at Cumberland Valley School District, which is where the child would attend
if residing with Father.
12. Due to Father's work schedule, he will be available to care for the child every afternoon,
evening, and week end during the hours the child is not in school.
13. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting the relief
requested because Father will be able to provide for the child's medical, educational, emotional and
physical needs in a stable, safe, and nurturing environment.
14. The best interests and permanent welfare of the child would be served by this Court issuing
an Order granting primary physical custody of the child to Father.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Tim Connors, prays this Honorable Court enter an Order
granting primary physical custody of the child to Petitioner/Father, granting periods of visitation to
Respondent/Mother, and granting shared legal custody of the child to both parties and any additional
relief as the Court deems appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,
Dated: December / 2009

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 Children who are the subject of
this litigation is as follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Lucien Conners September 29, 2004 shared
2. A Conciliation Conference was held January 12, 2009 with the following
individuals in attendance: The Father, Tim Connors, with his counsel, Stacy Wolf,
Esquire, and the Mother, Litia R. Conner, with her counsel, Jessica Holst, Esquire,
MidPenn Legal Services.
3. The Honorable Edward E. Guido previously entered Orders of Court dated
August 5, 2005, November 21, 2005 and December 17, 2008 providing for shared legal
custody, shared physical custody, and a holiday schedule. Father filed for Special Relief
and Modification and the Court ordered an expedited conciliation.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal and
primary physical custody. He asserts that the child is neglected, and physically
disciplined. He also maintains that the child is cared for by his nine year old half sibling
while Mother is asleep. Although shared physical custody continues as this time, Mother
relocated to West Chester without advising Father, an approximate two hour drive away.
Father believes the child will begin school in the fall and requests an order of primary
physical custody so enrollment can be pursued.
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks shared legal

V. : N0.2005-2306 CIVIL ACTION -LAW
TIM CONNORS,
Defendant : IN CUSTODY
PRIOR JUDGE: Edward E. Guido, 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
Lucien Connors September 29, 2004 Father
2. A Conciliation Conference was held August 24, 2012 with the following
individuals in attendance: The Mother, Litia R. Conner, with her counsel, Allison
Reynolds, Esquire, and the Father, Tim Connors, with his counsel, Stacy B. Wolf.
3. The Honorable Edward E. Guido previously entered an Order of Court
dated Mazch 16, 2009 providing for shazed legal custody, Father having primary physical
custody during the school year and Mother having primary physical custody during the
summer, with the other pazent having alternating weekends.
4. Mother filed a Petition for Contempt citing Pazagraph 4 of the Mazch 16,
2009 Court Order providing for the parties to meet as close to halfway as possible.
Mother has since relocated to the Pittsburgh azea and Father had only agreed to exchange
custody at the Ft. Littleton exit of the Pa Turnpike (MP 180). Using that location, Mother
drives 127 miles and Father drives 55.8 miles.
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks to exchange the
child at the Bedford Exit of the Pa Turnpike (MP 146). At that location Mother would
drive 92.5 miles while Father would drive 90.3 miles. The current exchange times aze
Friday at 6:00 p.m. to Sunday at 6:00 p.m. Mother is willing to change the exchange
times if Father will agree to exchange at Bedford. Mother is willing to withdraw her
Contempt Petition.
___ ~_ _
6. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father does not believe he
should be responsible for the additional mileage because he did not relocate. However
he is willing to drive to the Breezewood Exit of the Pa Turnpike (MP 161). Using that
exit, Father would drive 74.8 miles and Mother would drive 108 miles. Father is also
seeking a change in the exchange times because it is dii~icult to make the exchange time
on Fridays and he would like the child returned earlier on Sunday so the child can meet
his bedtime, especially during the school year. If the exchange is at Breezewood, Father
is suggesting 7:00 p.m. on Fridays and 5:00 p.m. on Sundays.
7. The Conciliator suggested the exchange be at Breezewood during the
school year and Bedford in the summer, but neither party was in agreement with that
suggestion.
8. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached directing
counsel to submit their exchange time and location suggestions to the Court within 14
days of the Order and pending a determination by the Court, directing the exchange time
and location be Friday at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at the Breezewood Exit. No
Hearing is requested.
