Mother does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical
custody of the children or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the children.

the relief requested because:

Pennsylvania under Megan's Law.
111. Father does not exercise all of his available custodial periods and often

for school and frequently are not given lunch or lunch money.
v. Mother has been the children's primary caretaker since their birth.
VI. Mother is better able to provide the children a home with the moral,
emotional and physical surroundings required to adequately meet the
children's needs.
VII. Mother is willing to allow the children to have custodial periods with their
Father, outside the presence ofMr. Litchfield, the registered sex offender.
10. 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, Plaintiff requests that the Court grant shared legal custody of the children
to Plaintiff and Defendant, primary physical custody of the children to Plaintiff, and liberal
periods of partial physical custody to Defendant not in the presence of his roommate, Mr.
Litchfield.
