9. Father does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical

10. The best interest and permanent welfare of George will be served by granting the
relief requested for reasons including, but not limited to the following:
a) Father has a stable home environment that is safe and appropriate for periods
of partial physical custody with George.
b) Father lives with his family and they are willing to open their home to George
during periods of partial custody.
c) Prior to leaving the home he shared with Mother, Father was present to help
care for George since his birth.

co-parent George and will encourage both the mother/son and father/son

to have George for weekend visits and Father has accepted each of those
opportunities to spend time with his son.

is in Father's care.

limited to the following:
i) Mother has denied Father regular contact with George, and when
Mother does allow Father to exercise weekend custody of George,
it is sporadic and inconsistent.
ii) Mother prevents the healthy development of a bond between
Father and George by refusing to allow them to have regular
contact with each other.
iii) Father fears that without a custody order in place, Mother will
continue to deprive him of regular contact with George, which will
cause difficulty in trying to maintain a father/son relationship.
It. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not been terminated and the
person who has physical custody of the child, have been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, the Father requests this Court to grant the following relief:
a) Grant the parties shared legal custody of the child.

9:00 p.m.
d) Establish an appropriate holiday schedule to allow each parent time
with the child.
e) Any additional relief this Court finds just and proper.

IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT AND MODIFICATION
Petitioner, George Thomas Taylor, VI, by and through his counsel, MidPenn
Legal Services, states the following:
1. Plaintiff/Petitioner, hereinafter referred to as Father, resides at 1823 Park
Street, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17103.
2. Defendant/Respondent, hereinafter referred to as Mother, resides at 2206
Cedar Run Drive - Apartment K, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17011.
3. The above-named parties are the natural parents of George Thomas Taylor,
VII, born December 1, 2001.
4. The current Custody Order, attached as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein
by reference, is dated June 30, 2005. The Order, in pertinent part, grants the
parties shared legal custody of George VII. Mother has primary physical
custody with Father having periods of temporary physical custody every week
either Thursday to Saturday or Friday to Sunday.
5. Mother has willfully disobeyed the Order in ways including, but not limited
to, the following:
a. Mother has made it difficult for Father to exercise his periods of
physical custody by repeatedly changing the location where Father is
to pick-up George VII. It has taken Father up to three (3) telephone
calls and an hour of travel to get George VII for a custodial visit.
b. On at least six (6) occasions, Father has not had a visit with George
VII because Mother does not comply with the Order and Father cannot
find Mother by telephone.
c. On several occasions, Father's visits began late because he has spent
extra time chasing Mother between Dauphin and Cumberland Counties
trying to find her so he can pick up George VII.
d. Mother fails to provide Father with information pertaining to legal
custody of George VII. Father is not aware of doctor's appointments,
pre-school or daycare information, or other pertinent medical
information regarding George VII.
6. Mother is not acting in George VII's best interest for reasons including, but
not limited to, the following:
a. Mother has deliberately interfered with Father's partial physical
custody of George VII, in ways set forth in Paragraph Five of this
Petition for Contempt and Modification.
b. Mother's interference with Father's periods of partial physical custody
negatively impacts Father's attempt to develop a healthy father/son
relationship with George VII.
c. Mother's failure to advise Father of matters pertaining to legal custody
of George VII, prevents Father from actively participating in a parental
capacity and renders him unable to contribute to decisions regarding
George VII's well-being.
d. Father is concerned that Mother is using illegal substances while
George VII, is in her care or when he is returned to her care following
a weekend with Father. Father is familiar with Mother's behavior
when she is under the influence of drugs and her recent behavior
during a custody exchange caused Father some concern for George
VIPs safety and well-being.
Father is entitled to a modification of the current order, which is in George's
best interest, for reasons including but not limited to the following:
a. Father wants to maintain the relationship that he has established with
George VII. At this young age, it is very important for George VII to
have regular and ongoing contact with Father for his emotional well
being and development.
b. In Order to prevent the ongoing problems regarding custody
exchanges, Father would like to have the receiving party provide
transportation for George VII. On alternating Thursdays or Fridays,
Father would pick up George VII from Mother and on alternating
Saturdays or Sundays, Mother would get George VII at the end of
Father's custodial period.
c. To further prevent problems during custody exchanges and to ensure
that his visits start on time, Father would like Mother to provide him
with twenty-four (24) hours notice as to where she and George VII
will be when it is time for Father to get George V II if they will not be
at Mother's residence in Camp Hill.
8. It is unknown whether Defendant is represented and counsel for Plaintiff is
unable to request concurrence for the relief requested in this Petition.
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests the following:
a. That this Court find Mother in contempt of the existing June 30, 2005, Court
Order.
b. That this matter be scheduled for a custody conciliation to modify the terms of
the current custody Order.
c. That Mother and Father continue to share legal custody of George VII.
d. That Father continue to have periods of partial custody as outlined in the June
30, 2005, Order.
e. That transportation responsibilities be modified so that the receiving party
provides transportation.
f. That Mother be required to provide Father with twenty-four (24) hours notice
of where she and George VII will be when it is time for Father to begin his
custodial periods. If Mother does not contact Father twenty-four (24) hours in
advance, she is expected to be at her Camp Hill residence on time for the
custody exchange when Father arrives to begin his custodial weekend.
g. That Mother provide Father with all information relevant to legal custody to
which he is entitled such as daycare/preschool information, doctor's visits,
etc., in a timely manner.
h. Any other relief this Court finds just and proper.

Plaintiff/Petitioner CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. NO. 05-2463 CIVIL TERM
JOYVON DAVIS,
Defendant/Respondent IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT AND MODIFICATION
Petitioner, George Thomas Taylor, VI, by and through his counsel, MidPenn
Legal Services, states the following:
1. Plaintiff/Petitioner, hereinafter referred to as Father, resides at 3266 Rosstown
Road - Unit 6, Wellsville, York County, Pennsylvania 17365.
2. Defendant/Respondent, hereinafter referred to as Mother, is believed to reside
at 2206 Cedar Run Drive - Apartment K, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17011.
3. The above-named parties are the natural parents of George Thomas Taylor,
VII, born December 1, 2001.
4. The current Custody Order, attached as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein
by reference, is dated February 21, 2006. The Order, in pertinent part, grants
the parties shared legal custody of George VII. Mother has primary physical
custody with Father having periods of temporary physical custody every week
either Thursday to Saturday or Friday to Sunday.
5. The most recent Order was created to resolve problems that arose as a result
of Mother's refusal to follow the prior Order dated June 30, 2005, which is
attached hereto as Exhibit "B"
6. Mother has willfully disobeyed the current Order in ways including, but not
limited to, the following:
a. Mother continues to make it difficult for Father to exercise his periods
of physical custody by repeatedly changing the location where Father
is to pick-up George VII. It has taken Father up to three (3) telephone
calls and an hour of travel to get George VII for a custodial visit.
b. Since the February 20, 2006, Order, Father has been unable to see
George VII on four of seven weekends as a direct result of Mother's
actions.
c. Father was most recently able to find Mother by driving from one end
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to the other end, Pennsylvania, looking for
Mother's car. This was the only way Father was able to determine
where George VII was during a weekend when he was supposed to be
with Father.
d. Mother has still failed to provide Father with information pertaining to
the health and education of George VII.
7. Mother is not acting in George VIPs best interest for reasons including, but
not limited to, the following:
a. Mother has deliberately interfered with Father's partial physical
custody of George VII, in ways set forth in Paragraph Six of this
Petition for Contempt and Modification.
b. Mother's interference with Father's periods of partial physical custody
negatively impacts Father's attempt to develop a healthy father/son
relationship with George VII.
c. Mother's failure to advise Father of matters pertaining to legal custody
of George VII, prevents Father from actively participating in a parental
capacity and renders him unable to contribute to decisions regarding
George VIPs well-being,
d. Father is concerned that Mother is using illegal substances while
George VII, is in her care.
Father is entitled to a modification of the current order, which is in George's
best interest, for reasons including but not limited to the following:
a. Father wants to maintain the relationship that he has established with
George VII. At this young age, it is very important for George VII to
have regular and ongoing contact with Father for his emotional well
being and development.
b. Father has tried twice to establish an Order that provides him with
sufficient periods of partial custody without imposing on Mother's
custody or relationship with George VII.
c. Despite the current Order's provisions regarding notice, Mother does
not tell Father where she will meet Father for custody exchanges.
These actions by Mother waste the financial resources of Father.
d. Father is presently able to provide for George VII by giving him a
nurturing and stable home environment and providing for his
emotional, physical, medical and educational needs.
e. Father's extended family and his fiancee's extended family are both
willing and able to help with any needs that may arise while George
VII is in Father's care and custody.
f. Father and his fiancee have researched appropriate child care options
that would be available for George VII if he were to live with Father
on a primary basis.
g. Father is concerned because he believes that George VII needs help
with educational and speech development. Mother will not
communicate with Father to address these concerns. If Father has
primary custody, he will enroll George VII in Fleadstart or Preschool if
these provide George VII with appropriate services.
h. Father has repeatedly tried to communicate with and cooperate with
Mother to effectively raise George VII. If Father were to become
George VII's primary custodian, he would continue his efforts to work
with Mother in raising George VII and would work to ensure that the
mother/son relationship continues to develop.
8. It is unknown whether Defendant is represented and counsel for Plaintiff is
unable to request concurrence for the relief requested in this Petition.
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests the following:
a. That this Court find Mother in contempt of the existing February 20, 2006,
Court Order.
b. That this matter be scheduled for a custody conciliation to modify the terms of
the current custody Order,
c. That Mother and Father continue to share legal custody of George VII.
d. That Father be granted primary physical custody of George VII.
c. That Mother be granted periods of partial physical custody of George VII on
alternating weekends from Friday evening until Sunday evening.
f. That the receiving party be responsible for providing transportation
responsibilities for custody exchanges.
g. That Mother provide Father with all information relevant to legal custody to
which he is entitled such as daycare/preschool information, doctor's visits,
etc., in a timely manner.
h. Any other relief this Court finds just and proper.

Law Offices of Peter J. Russo, P.C., states the following:
1. Plaintiff/Petitioner, hereinafter referred to as Father, resides at 3266
Rosstown Road -- Unit 6, Wellsville, York County, Pennsylvania
17365.
2. Defendant/Respondent, hereinafter referred to as Mother, is
believed to reside at 3226 N. 6t" Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
3. The above-named parties are the natural parents of George
Thomas Taylor, VII, born December 1, 2001.
4. The current Custody Order, dated October 2, 2006, is attached as
Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.
5. The October 2, 2006, Order of Court modifies the prior Order of
Court dated June 27, 2006, which is attached as Exhibit "B" and
incorporated herein by reference.
6. The October 2, 2006, Order of Court, in pertinent part, grants the
parties shared legal custody of George VII. Mother has primary
physical custody with Father having period of temporary physical
custody every week Friday to Sunday.
7. The most recent Orders were created to resolve problems that
arose as a result of Mother's repeated refusal to follow the prior
Orders dated June 30, 2005, and February 21, 2006 which are
attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and Exhibit "D".
8. Mother has willfully disobeyed the current Order in ways including,
but no limited to, the following:
a. Mother continues to make it difficult for Father to exercise his
periods of physical custody by not having the child present
when father arrives to receive custody.
b. Since the October 2, 2006, Order Father has been unable to
see George VII on ten (10) of the twenty-two (22) weekends as
direct result of Mother's actions.
c. Mother has failed to timely pick up the child from Father's
residence, often resulting in Father having to transport the child
to Mother's residence or to daycare the following morning.
d. Mother has failed to timely pick up the child on eight (8)
weekends out of the twelve (12) weekends father had custody
of the child.
9. Mother is not acting in George VI1's best interest for reasons
including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Mother has deliberately interfered with Father's partial physical
custody of George VII, in ways set forth in Paragraph Eight of
this Petition for Contempt and Modification.
b. Mother's interference with Father's periods of partial physical
custody negatively impacts Father's attempt to develop a
healthy father/son relationship with George VII.
c. Since the October 2, 2006, George VII hasten (10) unexcused
absences from preschool.
10. Father is entitled to a modification of the current order, which is in
George VIPs best interest, for reason including but not limited to the
following:
a. Father wants to maintain the relationship that he has
established with George VII. At this young age, it is very
important for George VII to have regular and ongoing contact
with Father for his emotional well being and development.
b. Father has tried three times to establish an Order that provides
him with sufficient periods of partial custody without imposing on
Mother's custody or relationship with George VII.
c. Mother continual failure to make the child available for pick up
and/or to timely pick up the child has additionally wasted
Father's financial resources and/or time, causing injury to Father
as well as his wife and daughter.
d. Father is presently able to provide for George VII by giving him
a nurturing and stable home environment and providing for his
emotional, physical, medical and educational needs.
e. Father's extended family and his wife's extended family are both
willing and able to help with any needs that may arise while
George VII is in Father's care and custody.
f. Father and his wife have researched appropriate child care
options that would be available for George VII if he were to live
with Father on a primary basis.
g. Father is concerned because he believes that George VII needs
help with educational and speech development. Mother will not
communicate with Father to address these concerns. If Father
has primary custody, he will enroll George VII in Headstart or
Preschool if these provide George VII with appropriate services
and will enroll George VII in Wellsville Elementary School in the
fall.
h. Father has repeatedly tried to communicate with and cooperate
with Mother to effectively raise George VII. If Father were to
become George VII's primary custodian, he would continue his
efforts to work with Mother in raising George VII and would work
to ensure that the mother/son relationship continues to develop.
11. It is unknown whether Defendant is represented and counsel for
Plaintiff is unable to request concurrence for the relief requested in
this Petition.
12. J. Wesley Oler, Jr. has entered all previous Orders in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests the following:
a. That this Court find Mother in contempt of the existing October
2, 2006, Court Order.
b. That this matter be scheduled for a custody conciliation to
modify the terms of the current custody Order.
c. That Mother and Father continue to share legal custody of
George VII.
d. That Father be granted primary physical custody of George VII.
e. That Mother be granted periods of partial physical custody of
George VII on alternating weekends from Friday evening until
Sunday evening.
f. That the receiving party be responsible for providing
transportation responsibilities for custody exchanges.
g. That Mother be responsible for reasonable counsel fees and
cost.
h. Any other relief this Court finds just and proper.

IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CONTEMPT AND MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW, thisay of July, 2009, comes the Plaintiff, George Thomas Taylor, VI,
by and through his undersigned attorney, Joseph L. Hitchings, Esquire, and avers in support of
his Petition For Contempt and Modification of Custody Order as follows:
1. The Plaintiff is George Thomas Taylor, VI, an adult individual residing at 211
Bailey Street, New Cumberland, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17070. Plaintiff resides at
that address with his Wife, Leslie Taylor, and their children, Jade, Trey and during his custodial
periods, his son, George Thomas Taylor, VII (d.o.b. December 1, 2001).
2. The Defendant is Joyvon Davis., an adult individual residing at 2206 Hillside
Village, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17103. Defendant resides at that address
with her daughter JaQuaya, and during his custodial periods, her son, George Thomas Taylor,
VII.
3. Pursuant to Court Order entered by the Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr. of this
Court, dated August 6, 2007, Defendant was found in contempt, and custody was modified,
giving shared legal custody and shared physical custody on an alternating weekly basis, with
Father being the parent responsible for school decisions, and transportation to be shared with the
receiving parent responsible for picking up the child. A true and correct copy of the August 6,
2007 Order is attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference, and marked as Exhibit "A".
4. From March 20, 2009 through the present, Defendant has refused to allow
Plaintiff's wife to pick up the child, despite the fact that she had done so without problem on
multiple occasions in the past. This has caused a significant delay in the start times for Plaintiff's
custodial periods.
5. Defendant has been verbally abusive to Plaintiff's Wife and other relatives, in
front of the minor child, when they have attempted to pick him up.
6. During weeks when the minor child was with Defendant, he had multiple
unexcused absences from school, resulting in the school sending a letter to Plaintiff and
threatening to fine him.
7. It is believed and therefore averred that Defendant does not place a priority on the
minor child attending school or completing his school related tasks, resulting in the child's poor
school performance.
8. It is requested that the Defendant be found in contempt for violating the existing
Custody Order, and that the custody schedule be modified to grant Plaintiff primary physical
custody of the minor child during the school year with Defendant having alternating weekends.
9. It is believed and therefore averred that the best interest and permanent welfare of
the minor child will be served by granting the relief requested because the father/Plaintiff can
provide a loving, stable and supportive educational environment for his son.
10. Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Petition be forwarded to the Court for the
scheduling of a Custody Conference.
11. Plaintiff has had to incur attorney's fees in enforcing his rights under the Custody
Order, and requests that in the event Defendant is found in contempt that reasonable attorney
fees be awarded.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, George Thomas Taylor, VI, respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court find the Defendant in Contempt, award attorney fees, and grant him primary
physical of his minor son, George Thomas Taylor, VII, during the school year..

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
George Thomas Taylor, VII December 1, 2001 Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held August 20, 2009 with the following
individuals in attendance: The Father, George Thomas Taylor, VI, with his counsel,
Joseph L. Hitchings, Esquire, and the Mother, Joyvon Davis, pro se.
3. The Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr. previously entered an Order of Court
dated August 6, 2007 finding Mother in contempt, and providing for shared legal
custody, but with Father being responsible for school decisions, and shared physical
custody on a week on/week off basis.
4. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks a finding of
contempt based on Mother's refusal to relinquish physical custody of the child to Father's
wife. He seeks shared legal custody, with authority to make school decisions and
primary physical custody. Father asserts that during the past school year, while the child
was in first grade, he accumulated 16 unexcused absences and 11 tardies while in
Mother's physical custody. Father is willing to give partial physical custody on every
weekend to Mother if he has physical custody during the school year. Father offered to
have shared physical custody in the summer. Father believes the primary physical
custody arrangement he suggests provides the needed stability for the child.
5. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother denies the contempt
allegations. She is willing to allow Father's wife pick up the child provided both parties,
or their designee, remain in their vehicle during the custody exchange. She seeks to
maintain the status quo regarding custody. She denies that the child had the absentee
record that Father asserts.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and maintaining the status quo, with a modification permitting a parties'
designee being allowed to transport the child. It is expected that the Hearing will require
one-half day.
