STEVEN STONE IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF

vs.
05-4735 CIVIL ACTION LAW
DANIELLE DAVIDSON
Defendant 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
Katrina D. Stone January 6, 2005
2. A conciliation conference was held on October 13, 2005, with the following individuals in
attendance: The Father, Steven Stone, with his counsel, Mark T. Silliker, Esquire, and the Mother,
Danielle Davidson, who is not represented by counsel in this matter.
3. The Father filed this Complaint for Custody seeking primary physical custody of the Child.
The Father currently resides and works in Mechanicsburg and the Mother currently resides in New
Jersey with her parents and is a student. Prior to May 2005, the parties resided together, with the Child
in New York. The parties separated in May 2005 at which time the Mother moved to New Jersey to
reside with her sister and the Father moved to Mechanicsburg. Prior to leaving New York, both parties
filed custody petitions in New York and an Order was entered by agreement on July 7, 2005 by the
Monroe County, New York Court under which the Mother had primary physical custody of the Child
and the Father had partial custody on alternating weekends from Thursday through Sunday. The Order
also provided that if either party became incarcerated or hospitalized, the other party would have
primary custody until further Order of Court. Pursuant to the New York Court's Order, the Child
resided primarily with the Mother in New Jersey subject to the Father's periods of partial custody in
Pennsylvania until August 19, 2005 at which time the Father obtained custody of the Child (the parties
disagree as to the circumstances) and the Child continued to reside with the Father until the date of the
conciliation conference. In early October, the Mother filed a Rule to Show Cause in the New York
Court seeking the Child's return to her custody. The New York Court granted the Mother's request
and entered an ex parte Order on October 11, 2005 requiring the Father to return the Child to the
Mother's custody. The New York Court also scheduled a hearing on the Mother's Petition for
October 31, 2005.
4. Although the Mother did not file Preliminary Objections or otherwise formally file a
challenge to this Court's jurisdiction, the Mother indicated at the conciliation conference that she
intended to proceed through the New York Court and stated that she did not wish to participate in the
conciliation conference further without the presence of her attorney.
5. There was no agreement reached at the conciliation conference as to either the jurisdictional
issue or the basic custody arrangements. After obtaining guidance from the Court during the
conciliation conference, the conciliator submits the attached Order scheduling a hearing and
establishing temporary custodial arrangements pending the hearing.
6. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father believes that the Mother is unable
to provide appropriate care for the Child due to her long history of substance abuse and recent relapse.
The Father indicated that he was contacted by the Mother's sister on August 19, who requested that he
pick up the Child as the Mother had been absent for a long period of time. The Father stated that the
Mother had no contact with the Child from August 19 through the date of the conciliation conference
and he believed that the Mother had been hospitalized for addiction problems during that time. The
Father believes it would be in the best interest of the Child to continue to reside primarily with him in
Pennsylvania. The Father argued that he is not in violation of the New York Order by retaining
custody of the Child pursuant to the provision in that Order allowing him to assume primary custody in
the event the Mother was hospitalized.
7. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother adamantly denied the Father's
allegations that she had a relapse in August and indicated that she has not been hospitalized or placed
in a rehabilitation program in the last three years. The Mother stated that the Father obtained custody
of the Child on August 19 as a result of an agreement that he would have a three week period of
custody with the Child and that the Child would be returned to her care thereafter. The Mother
indicated that she is now living with her parents in New Jersey and is able to provide proper care for
the Child. The Mother believes the Father is in violation of the New York Order and intends to
proceed with the enforcement proceedings scheduled in the New York Court on October 31, 2005.
The Mother indicated that the Father refused to allow her any contact with the Child since August 19
despite her efforts to see the Child. The Mother believes it would be in the best interest of the Child to
reside primarily with her in New Jersey.
8. Based upon the guidance obtained from the Court and the representations made by the
parties during the conciliation conference, the conciliator recommends an Order in the form as
attached. It is expected that the hearing will require at least one half day.

Plaintiff : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

DANIELLE DAVIDSON, : CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Defendant : IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR INTERIM RELIEF
AND NOW comes the Petitioner/Plaintiff, Steven Stone, by and through
his attorney Mark T. Silliker, Esquire, and respectfully avers the following:
1. The Petitioner/Plaintiff in the above-captioned matter, is Steven Stone,
an adult individual currently residing at 409 West Main Street, First Floor,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17055.
2. The Respondent/Defendant is Danielle Davidson, an adult individual
currently residing at 84 Brooklyn Road, Stanhope, New Jersey 07874.
3. The subject minor child is Katrina Data Stone, born January 6, 2005.
4. The relationship of the Petitioner/Plaintiff to the subject minor child is
that of natural father.
5. The relationship of the Respondent/Defendant to the subject minor child
is that natural mother.
6. A Conciliation Conference was held before Dawn S. Sunday, Esquire,
on October 13, 2005. As a result of said conference, Ms. Sunday issued a report to this
Honorable Court, a copy of which is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A". In said
report, Ms. Sunday recommended that Petitioner/Plaintiff be temporarily granted primary
physical custody, with reasonable periods of partial custody for Respondent/Defendant
consisting of Thursday through Monday. However, there was an existing Court Order
from New York State. Therefore, the Honorable Edward E. Guido issued an Order
directing that the Cumberland County case would be held abeyance, pending further
disposition by the New York Court. A copy of said Order is attached hereto and marked
Exhibit `B".
7. The Monroe County Court in New York has now ruled in this
jurisdictional matter, and the Family Court of Monroe County has dismissed the case
because neither party to the action resides in Monroe County, New York. A copy of the
Order from the Monroe County Court is attached hereto and incorporated herein, marked
Exhibit "C". Thus, the only active case now is the one before this Court.
8. The Conciliator recommended that primary physical custody be placed
with Father pending trial. Furthermore, the Conciliator prepared a proposed Order of
Court, which is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "D".
9. Petitioner/Plaintiff originally filed this action for custody because he
had found that the Respondent/Defendant had again begun using heroin. Furthermore,
Respondent/Defendant's parents had called the Plaintiff approximately six weeks earlier
advising him of this fact, and asked him to come and take custody of the subject minor
child.
10. Thereafter, a Custody Conciliation Conference was held in
Cumberland County before Dawn Sunday on October 13, 2005. It should be noted that
the Respondent/Defendant left the Conciliation Conference with the subject minor child.
However, her father contacted the Petitioner/Plaintiff the next day and advised him that
the Respondent/Defendant, Danielle Davidson, had left his home, and that it was feared
that she had disappeared because of ongoing heroin addiction. Although the subject
minor child has now lived with Father for the past five weeks, neither party actually has
legal/physical custody because the New York Order has been dismissed.
11. It should be noted that Mother did not attend the most recent hearing
in New York State on October 31, 2005. It should also be noted that Father did allow
Mother a full weekend visitation this past weekend, from Friday, November 19, through
Sunday November 20. Furthermore, Father envisions that visitation would continue,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of Dawn Sunday's recommended Order.
12. Petitioner/Plaintiff is concerned because although the subject minor
child has been residing with him, technically speaking no one has primary physical
custody. Based on this, as well as Mother's ongoing battle with heroin addiction, Father
would respectfully request this Honorable Court incorporate the terms of the Order
recommended by the Custody Conciliator, Dawn Sunday, and issue an Interim
Temporary Order, pending trial, granting him primary physical custody of the subject
minor child, with reasonable and indeed liberal visitation rights unto the natural Mother.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court issue
a Temporary Order, granting him custody, as set forth in the report recommended by
Custody Conciliator Dawn S. Sunday.

in the Father's school district and shall reside primarily with the Father during the school year with the
Mother having custody on alternating weekends from Friday through Sunday. It is anticipated that the
Mother will have primary custody of the Child during the summer school breaks after the Child is
enrolled in school. The parties agree to cooperate in establishing a custody schedule by agreement for
the summers after the Child begins school.
4. The parties shall share or alternate having custody of the Child on holidays as follows:
A. Thanksgiving: The Thanksgiving holiday period of custody shall run from
Wednesday through the weekend following Thanksgiving. In odd-numbered years the Father shall
have custody of the Child for Thanksgiving and in even-numbered years, the Mother shall have
custody. The parties shall exchange weekends, if necessary to accommodate the holiday custody
schedule.
B. Christmas: The Christmas holiday period of custody shall run from December 23`d
through December 26th. In odd-numbered years, the Mother shall have custody of the Child for
Christmas and in even-numbered years the Father shall have custody of the Child for Christmas.
Beginning in 2010 when the Child is enrolled in school, the Mother shall have custody of the Child for
a full week during the Christmas school break either at the beginning of the break, if it is the Mother's
year to have custody of the Child for Christmas, or at the end of the school break if it is the Father's
year to have custody of the Child over Christmas.
C. Easter: The Easter holiday shall run from Good Friday through Easter Sunday. The
Mother shall have custody of the Child for Easter in odd-numbered years and the Father shall have
custody of the Child for Easter in even-numbered years. The parties shall exchange weekends, if
necessary, to accommodate the holiday custody schedule.
D. Memorial DUjabor Day: The party who has custody of the Child over the
weekend immediately preceding the holiday under the regular schedule shall retain custody through
the Monday holiday.
5. At such time as the Father obtains a valid driver's license, the parties shall share
responsibility for providing transportation for exchanges of custody. Unless the parties agree to
another arrangement, the parties shall exchange custody at a mutually agreeable location at Exit 80 on
Route 81.
6. The Mother shall undergo random drug testing at the Father's request. The Father shall
notify the Mother through counsel of his request for either hair follicle or blood testing and the Mother
shall obtain the requested testing within one (1) week of the request therefor. The Father shall be
responsible to pay the costs of the drug testing and the Mother shall authorize the testing agency to
provide the test results to the Father. In the event the Mother believes that the frequency of the request
for blood testing is unreasonable and burdensome, the Mother may request, through counsel, that a
telephone conference with counsel be held by the conciliator.
7. Neither party shall do or say anything which may estrange the Child from the other parent,
injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent, or hamper the free and natural development of the
Child's love and respect for the other parent. Both parties shall ensure that third parties having contact
with the Child comply with this provision.
8. The parties agree that the Mother shall continue to live with the maternal grandparents. In
the event the Mother desires to establish a residence separate from her parents, the Mother shall
provide at least ten (10) days written notice thereof to the Father. In the event she moves from the
maternal grandparents' residence, the Mother shall notify the Father of her address and the names of
the individuals with whom she will be residing.
9. This Order is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties at a custody conciliation
conference. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent. In the absence of
mutual consent, this Order shall control.
