ROBIN N. RONEMUS-SHULER, Defendant IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA NO. 05-2983 CIVIL TERM CIVIL ACTION - LAW IN CUSTODY 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 THE CUSTODY OF Heather M. Shuler September 25, 1998 Mother 2. Father filed a Complaint for Custody on June 9, 2005. A Custody Conciliation Conference was scheduled on August 5, 2005 with the following individuals in attendance: the Father, Harvey M. Shuler, III, and his counsel, P. Richard Wagner, Esquire; the Mother, Robin N. Ronemus-Shuler, and her counsel, Judith Walz, Esquire. Mrs. Walz represented Mrs. Shuler at the conference. However, at the upcoming hearing, Mrs. Shuler will be represented by Shaubut C. Walz, III, Esquire. 3. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father's counsel recites a lengthy and volatile history of the parents' relationship with breakups, allegations of drug abuse, allegations of violence and conflict interspersed with several reconciliation attempts. At present the Father has not seen the child since April 2005. Counsel does not view the court's interventions as having been helpful in the past. Rather, he finds that litigation tends to "stir the pot" of their ongoing conflicts. Father denies that he is using drugs. He reports that he has been abstinent for one year. He also points out that his ex-wife does not have any concerns about the partial custody periods he enjoys with their children other than concerns with regard to how Father's new spouse treats the children. Father would like to resume periods of partial custody pending a custody evaluation. The evaluation is thought to be needed to address the parents' chronic conflict and the ongoing impact on the child. It is hoped that the recommendations of the evaluator will assist the parties in addressing the child's emotional needs. Father agreed that Mother's allegations regarding substance abuse be addressed as to both of them as part of an overall custody evaluation. Father would like to return to an alternating weekend partial custody schedule during the period of the custody evaluation. With regard to the expenses related to the custody evaluation, NO. 05-2983 CIVIL TERM Father proposes to be allowed to take an advancement from the parties' Morgan Stanley account with the understanding that this would be credited to him in distribution and that each party would reserve the right to make their arguments regarding the allocation of the fees associated with the custody evaluation. Father cannot afford to advance the counsel fees from his income because he is netting $2,650.00 per month prior to his child support obligation. It appears that one of the differences in the parties' approach to the problems that they are experiencing is that Father is taking a longer term view with regard to the parties' conflict and its impact on the child. In addition, Father's counsel recognizes that the issues that challenge this couple are not likely able to be fully addressed or resolved by further litigation in the absence of clinical intervention. 4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother reports that the child's school performance has improved since the parties separated. The child was apparently doing poorly and had risked failing prior to separation. Mother claims that the child has bounced back academically the last few months of the last academic year. Mother thinks that the reuniting of Father and the child should be accomplished through supervised visitation initially because the child's last interaction with Father was during the conflict and altercation between the parties which immediately preceded the Protection From Abuse Order which is in place until November 2006. Mother points out that Father has not elected to participate in the supervised visitation program provided at the Carlisle YWCA as indicated in the PFA which is docketed to 05-2983. Mother claims that Father uses cocaine and she believes that he started using drugs again about March 2005. She also reports that the child has been fearful at night and has expressed wonder as to whether Father is coming for her when she hears noises in the night. Mother objects to the use of Morgan Stanley monies as an advancement to pay the evaluation costs because she does not believe the evaluation is necessary and because, although the funds in this account are presently held in both parties' names, the original source of the funds was her inheritance which she later converted into a joint investment account. Mother does not believe that she can participate in the cost of the evaluation because she is employed making about $10.00 per hour. For domestic relations purposes, her presumed earning capacity is approximately $1,650.00 net per month. Mother proposed that Father participate in supervised visits for approximately 8 weeks to see how it goes. She attributes all of the problems to Father's alleged use of cocaine and his alleged abuse. 5. Issues upon which the parties agree: Father will initiate supervised visitation at the Carlisle Y two times per week as provided in the PFA. The parties will participate in a custody evaluation. 6. Issues upon which the parties do not agree: The source of funding for the evaluation and whether or not Father could obtain an advancement against the Morgan Stanley account for purposes of funding the evaluation understanding that both parties have the right to argue how the advancement should be allocated as between them in the custody litigation. NO. 05-2983 CIVIL TERM 7. The Conciliator recommends that the parties be granted a 45-minute hearing to address the funding of the custody evaluation. The parties will participate in supervised visits at the YWCA. a /010S Date 'Cluj Peel Greevy, Esquire Custody Conciliator MPG:ead:256400 RECc"; ?C " r?C51?

The parties will contact the Carlisle YWCA Visitation Program at the number provided to them at the time of the Conference and schedule and attend four (4) supervised visits prior to the hearing on November 18, 2005.

RONEMUS-SHULER, Defendant IN CUSTODY CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT VAN IA 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 THE CUSTODY OF Heather M. Shuler September 25, 1998 Mother 2. The parties convened for their second Custody Conciliation on October 27, 2005 which was scheduled at the request of Father's counsel because the supervised visits that had been contemplated in this Court's Order of August 25, 2005 ended after three (3) visits. Present for the Conference were: the Father, Harvey M. Shuler, III, and his counsel, P. Richard Wagner, Esquire; the Mother, Robin N. Ronemus-Shuler, and her counsel, Judith T. Walz, Esquire. 3. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father reports that he has had no further visits in September or October because the child was enrolled in Brownies on the one night of the week which he could participate in supervised visits at the Carlisle YWCA. Father would like to discontinue the supervised visits and proposes that he have three (3) weekends out of four (4) from Fridays after school or work, until Monday when the child is returned to school. 4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother would like the supervised visits to continue at this time. She is not agreeable to even very brief periods of unsupervised partial custody. She will not agree to the weekend periods of custody Father proposed above. Mother also points out through correspondence between counsel, Father was informed that Brownies meetings were only on the second and fourth Mondays. Accordingly, Father could have continued supervised visits on the days when the child did not attend Brownies. She once again points out that Father has also had the opportunity to . _ 16 NO. 05-2983 CIVIL TERM have contact with the child through supervised visits for several months prior to the last Conciliation, as they were specified in the PFA. 5. Conciliator Observations: The parties have been ordered to participate in a custody evaluation. This has not begun because of the dispute regarding the sharing of the costs associated with the evaluation. A hearing is scheduled for November 18, 2005 at 2:30 p.m. before Judge Hess. At that time, Father would like to have the Court enter an Order with regard to an interim schedule. It is noted that these parties have had a high conflict relationship which places the child in danger in at least an emotional sense. While it is necessary for the Court to enter an Order providing structure in order for the child to be able to see her Father, it is also quite clear that therapeutic family counseling is needed for this family. However, despite the allegations of the significant assets available to the parties, it appears that the issue of unreimbursed costs of treatment continues to be a roadblock. The Conciliator also notes that the Carlisle YWCA Visitation Program in which the parties have participated in the past will not be continuing to accept new clients after January 1, 2006. The parties have agreed to participate in four (4) visits prior to the November 18, 2005 hearing. ll-- -D?

The parties will execute whatever documents are necessary to comply with the court order, but no other proceeds except what is necessary to pay Dr. Schneider and/or Guidance Associates will be removed from that account without written consent of both parties or further court order. The payment of the Guidance Associates fees will be an issue to be addressed in the divorce proceeding so that the wife has the opportunity to ask for a reclaiming of any or all of that fee payment from that account. 5929-2005 & 2983-2005 CIVIL TERM P.

RONEMUS-SHULER, Defendant. : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA : NO: 05-2983 CIVIL TERM CIVIL ACTION -LAW IN CUSTODY PETITION FOR CONTEMPT AND NOW, comes your Petitioner, Harvey Shuler, III, by and through his attorneys, Mancke, Wagner, Spreha & McQuillan, and files the following Petition For Contempt: L Your Petitioner, Harvey Shuler, III, is the natural father of one (1) child, Heather, born September 25, 1998. 2. Respondent, Robin N. Ronemus-Shuler, is the natural mother of the aforementioned child. 3. On November 18, 2005, an Order was entered providing certain terms and conditions regarding custody, which required the parties to submit themselves to an independent custody evaluation to be performed by Dr. Schneider, with the cost to be paid from a joint account. A copy of said Order is attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference, and marked as Exhibit A. 4. On or about September 8, 2006, as a result of a Petition filed by the Petitioner herein, the Court directed that the money as set forth in the November 18, 2005, Order should be paid from the account maintained by the parties. A copy of said Order is attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference, and marked as Exhibit B. 5. The issue of the adjudication of contempt as a result of the September 8, 2006, Order was generally continued. 6. Although the Order of November 18, 2005, required the payment for Dr. Schneider to come from a joint account, no such payment was made because the Respondent would not cooperate in making said payment, necessitating the Petition filed by the Petitioner that resulted in the Order of September 8, 2006. 7. The payment was made for the custody evaluation, however, on February 16, 2007, the custody evaluator wrote to the parties indicating that the Respondent herein has not cooperated with the evaluation since October 4, 2006. 8. Petitioner believes and therefore avers that the Respondent is in contempt of court for the following reasons, and has engaged in a course of contemptuous conduct designed to frustrate the custodial rights of the Petitioner herein as follows: A. the Order of November 18, 2005, required an independent custody evaluation by Dr. Schneider to be paid from a joint account; B. no payment was made as a result of the lack of cooperation by the Respondent, necessitating a Petition For Contempt; and C. the Petition For Contempt was heard the 8`' of September, 2006, whereupon the issue of contempt was continued generally. -2- 9. Despite the August 25, 2005 Order directing the parties to submit to an independent custody evaluation, Respondent has not cooperated as reflected in the February 16, 2007, letter from Dr. Schneider, a copy of which is attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference, and marked as Exhibit C. 10. Petitioner believes and therefore avers that the conduct of the Respondent is designed to frustrate his custodial rights with his daughter, and that the Respondent has not been cooperating herein by design. 11. As a result of this Petition, the Petitioner herein as incurred costs to file the Petition that generated the September 8, 2006 Order, and costs to prepare this Petition and attendance at hearing in the amount of $1,000.00 for which Petitioner seeks a repayment from the Respondent. -3- WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests the Court to grant relief in the form of finding the Respondent in contempt, sentencing her as a result fo the contempt, directing that she pay the sum of $1,000.00 to the Petitioner herein, and otherwise promptly and diligently comply with the Court Orders as it relates to custody.

The same seven day response time was given to Father that Father gave to Mother. A copy of the Proposed Stipulated Consent Custody Petition and Order are attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked Exhibit "B" 8.

In this request, Mother's Attorney pointed out that she called Father's Attorney and left a message with his secretary that she wanted to discuss the case: both Custody and Divorce; and that Father's attorney talk with Mother's attorney because Mother was trying to work it out. She warned that without a response from Husband's Attorney she may Petition the court for assistance. A copy of the correspondence between and from Attorneys is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked Exhibit "C" 10. No response has been forthcoming from Father and/or his attorney. 11. Petitioner/Mother has been billed for legal fees of $320.00 for the filing of this Petition for Contempt, $80.00 for the follow up letter to P. Richard Wagner, Esquire, asking for a response and is anticipating a bill for legal fees for attendance of a hearing on Contempt in the estimated sum of $640.00.

Shuler Dear Rich: 341 Market Street Newport, PA 17074 Tel. 717-567-6993 Fax 717-567-6994 I called you last Friday and left a message with your secretary that I wanted to discuss the above- referenced case with you but I have not yet heard back from you. I also sent you two letters addressing the issues of custody and other issues. Although I wanted to talk to you before I left, I am now leaving for Turkey and will return in the middle of October. I would appreciate it if you could give me a response to the property issues (appraisals, rents, bills etc.) and report to me anything you desire to change in the draft of the Consent Custody Order. On that regard, the parties have been operating under this type of proposal since Schneider gave his recommendation. I would also appreciate it if you would talk to me before you file anything because I am trying to work it out with you. If I don't get a response from you by the time I get back I am considering filing a Petition for Interpretation of Order instead of a Petition for Contempt because that causes these parties to be agitated. I hope to hear from you when I return. Thank you. Very truly yours, C Judith T. Walz P.c. Robin Ronemus-Shuler '-- i7l -a rn ? f ..:ti HARVEY M.
