Petitioner,
v.
WILLIAM AARON SULLIVAN,
Respondent.
FINAL ORDER DIVORCE
On the 22nd day of April, 2002, the Petitioner appeared in person and by
her counsel, James Pierson, and the Respondent appeared in person and by his
counsel, Walter L. Wagner, at which time this Court found that it had proper jurisdiction
and the parties agreed to a divorced on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. On
the 2nd day of July, 2002, the Petitioner appeared in person and by her counsel, Anne
E. Shaffer, who was substituted for James Pierson, and the Respondent appeared in
person and by his counsel, Walter L. Wagner, for a final hearing of divorce. After
having sworn the parties, taken testimony, and after discussion on the record, the Court
makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law and orders:
1. The petitioner, Michele Marie Sullivan, is.a legal and bona fide
resident of the State of West Virginia and has been for one year preceding the filing of
this action for divorce and is a resident of Kanawha County.
2. The respondent, William Aaron Sullivan, is a legal and bona fide
resident of the State of West Virginia and has been for one year preceding the filing of
1
,\..... C"'h
C. All bank accounts in her name.
This Final Agreed Order of Divorce shall act as a bill of sale of all of those items. The
Petitioner shall be responsible for all such items and shall hold the Respondent
harmless thereon for any claims of any nature whatsoever arising out of the ownership
of the same.
14. The Respondent shall be solely responsible for the following
marital debts and shall hold the Petitioner harmless thereon and indemnify her:
A. Discover Card # 6011 0042 0011 322.;
15. The Petitioner shall be solely responsible for the following marital
debts and shall hold the Respondent harmless thereon and indemnify him:
A Lowes;
B. Sears;
C. Visa; and
D. HEAF loans.
The Court finds that the Petitioner has already retired the debt as to the first three listed
items.
16. The Court finds that the Respondent has not paid the insurance on
the Petitioner's car as ordered in the Temporary Order of this Court and, accordingly,
the Petitioner is entitled to judgment against the Respondent in the amount of Nine
Hundred Dollars ($900) therefor. The Respondent objects to such judgment on the
ground that this Court did not order payment of insurance at any hearing but, rather,
such provision was added to an order after the hearing and was entered over the
Respondent's objection. The Respondent's objection is duly noted and preserved.
4
17. The Court further finds that the Respondent sold the Chevy
Cavalier and realized $1,000 therefor and that the Petitioner is entitled to an award of
$500 as her equitable distribution of that item of marital property. Accordingly, the
Petitioner is entitled to judgment against the Respondent in the amount of Five Hundred
Dollars ($500). The Respondent objects to such judgment on the ground that the car
was undrivable and he had to provide himself with some transportation. The
Respondent's objection is duly noted and preserved,
18. Except for the division of assets set forth herein, the parties hereby
waive all claim which they may have to any other assets now in the name of the other
party or to which the other party may become entitled now or in the future, including, but
not limited to, social security retirement income, or any other benefits of either party.
19. The Respondent has not visited with the minor children for over two
years preceding this final hearing and, accordingly, the Respondent's visitation, which
may occur once per weekend, should be limited to monitored visitation through the
YWCA Monitored Visitation & Exchange Center so that the children are afforded an
opportunity to get to know their father again. The Respondent shall, once sufficient
contact has been established, be permitted to petition this Court for further parenting
time with the children in the future provided that he avails himself properly of the
monitored visitation and it appears in the best interests of the children to award further
or different visitation. The Respondent objects to such finding by the Court and his
objection is duly noted.
20. In order to further facilitate a bond between the Respondent and
the children, the Respondent should be awarded telephone visitation with the children
5
~
every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m. and the Petitioner will be responsible to have
the children available at such time for such telephonic visitation,
ORDER
Based upon the agreement of the parties heretofore set forth above as
findings and conclusions of the Court, it is ADJUDGED and ORDERED:
1, That the parties be, and they hereby are, divorced on the grounds
of irreconcilable differences;
2. That all agreements set forth above be, and the same hereby are,
adopted, ratified and incorporated herein as a part of this Final
Order to the end that the division of property be, and the same
hereby is, ordered.
3. That the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law set forth herein
be ratified, confirmed and incorporated into this Order.
4. That the Respondent shall pay unto the Petitioner the sum of Two

month beginning August 1, 2002, in support for the two minor
children, and continuing every month thereafter with a payment of
Two Hundred Forty One Dollars and Eighty Seven Cents ($241.87)
on the first of every month until such children reach the age of
eighteen, die, are married or are sooner emancipated; provided,
however, that should a child reach the age of eighteen prior to
graduation from secondary school, child support shall continue until
graduation; provided, however, that in no event shall child support
6
continue after age twenty.
5, That the Respondent shall provide health insurance, of whatever
type is offered by his employment, whether health, eye, dental, or
other, so long as such is available to him through employment and
that the parties shall share the expenses over and above insurance
50% by the Respondent and 50% by the Petitioner.
6. That the Respondent is ordered to pay the entirety of the Discover
Card, account number 6011 0042 0011 322~which is in the name
of the Petitioner, but shall not be considered from this day forward
her debt in any manner whatsoever and the Petitioner is ordered to
cancel the card and to make no more further purchases on such
card effective the date of the hearing;
7. That the alimony hereto ordered shall cease upon entry of this
order and upon payment of debt set forth in the preceding
paragraph, in such debt's entirety, the Petitioner's claim for alimony
shall be forever extinguished and barred;
8. That the Petitioner is awarded judgment against the Respondent in
the amount of $1 ,400 for arrearage in insurance and for other
distribution and that the Bureau of Child Support Enforcement is
ordered to collect the same for the Petitioner through withholding;
9. That the Respondent shall, forthwith, be permitted to visit with the

CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
L The pertinent information concerning the Children who are the subject of
this litigation is as follows:
NAME
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Kylie Sullivan
Tara Sullivan
March 8, 1996
June 2, 1998
Mother
Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held November 29,2005 with the
following individuals in attendance: The Mother, Michele Marie Lindley, with her
counsel, Susan K. Pickford, Esquire, and the Father, by telephone, pro se.
3. The Honorable Jane Charnock Smallridge, of the Farnily Court of
Kanawha County, West Virginia entered previous Orders of Court dated April 22, 2002,
August 9, 2004 and August 25,2005, providing for Mother to make the majority of
decisions concerning the children and to have physical custody with Father having
monitored visitation and telephone calls twice per week. The Honorable Kevin A Hess
entered a Temporary PF A dated November 29, 2005 providing for Mother to have
temporary sole custody of the children. The PF A hearing is scheduled for December 7,
2005.
4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother seeks sole legal and
sole physical custody with Father having supervised visitation and telephone calls twice
per week. Mother was permitted to relocate to Cumberland County by Order of Court of
Kanawha County, dated August 9, 2004. The children have lived in Cumberland County
more than one year and Mother seeks a Cumberland County Custody Order. Mother
maintains that Father has only visited with the children twice in the last year, at
Cl
Christmas 2004 and July 4th, 2005 both when Mother was visiting her family in West
Virginia. Father does exercise his twice weekly telephone contact with the children but
recently refused to modii)' the telephone schedule to accommodate the children's
extracurricular activities such as girl scouts. (At the Conciliation Conference, Father did
agree to accommodate the girls' schedule, however.)
5. Father's position on custody is as follows: Father objects to the
jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Courts, claiming that the Kanawha County, West
Virginia Court still maintains jurisdiction. He asserts that Mother continues to deny him
contact with the children, and that Mother's filing in Pennsylvania is in retaliation for
him filing for contempt in West Virginia resulting in the Order of August 25,2005.
Father requests accommodation for his disability (unable to travel) asking that he
participate in the custody hearing by telephone.
6. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling
a Hearing and maintaining the current Orders from West Virginia with the time change
for Father's telephone calls. It is expected that the Hearing will require one-half day.

PETITION FOR RELIEF
TO END COURT-ORDERED PHONE CONTACT
I. Petitioner's name is Michele Marie Lindley,
2. This Petition is filed on behalf of Plaintiff and her minor children.
4. The children of Petitioner and Respondent are Kylie Sullivan age 9 and
Tara Sullivan age 7.
3. Pursuant to Court Orders dated November 29, 2005 (PFA attached hereto as exhibit
"A") and December 1,2005 (Custody, attached hereto as exhibit "B"), Plaintiff was to
place two phone calls during the week to Defendant on behalf of the children to facilitate
contact between the children and their father.
4. From December 19, 2005 to present, Respondent, father has refused to accept phone
contact from his daughters. (See transcripts of recorded calls, exhibit "c" attached).
5. Respondent's new wife has been belligerent, threatening and uncooperative on the
phone with Petitioner and refuses to put the calls through to Respondent. (see exhibit "c"
attached).
6. On or about January 4, 2006, counsel for Petitioner sent a letter to Respondent
advising him of the fact that his wife was not allowing the calls to go through. Counsel
received no response to that letter, nor was it returned. (See exhibit "D" attached).
7. Respondent has shown no credible interest in having contact with his children and, in
fact, has encouraged or knowingly permitted abusive responses and interference by his
current wife.
8. Continually attempting to make the calls to the father in order to comply with the
current court orders is unproductive and extremely stressful for Petitioner/mother and the
children and is not in the best interests ofthe children.
, .
9. The Custody Hearing scheduled in this matter is set for March 29, 2006,
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court to amend the
prior order relieving Petitioner of the responsibility of placing phone calls to the
Respondent until further order of court.

RE: Phone CIIlJs with TIU'IJ ad Kylie Sullivan
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
It is my understanding that you are not represented in the matters pending in the
Pennsylvania courts concerning your daughters. As such I am contacting you directly
regarding the court ordered phone contacts. As you are aware the court ordered two
phone calls per week to be placed by Mrs. Lindley for her daughters to speak with you.
Mrs. Lindley has reported to me that your current wife has refused to allow the calls to go
through indicating that you do not wish to speak with your children. She has also told
Mrs. Lindley not to call your number again. Furthenoore she has threatened Mrs. Lindley
with filing criminal charges for phone harassment if she calls again.
Mrs, Lindley is under court order to make these calls. If it is your wish not to
receive the calls from your daughters, please let us know directly and in writing so that
we can ask for a modification of the court order, If your wife has been interfering with
calls you wish to receive you will need to make whatever arrangements necessary to have
her allow the calls to come through. If this behavior continues, we will ask for a
modification with or without your input.
