"Father"), of Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania;

Sable Marie Lafferty, date of birth November 10, 1995;
WHEREAS, Mother and Father have reached an agreement relative to the future care,
custody, and visitation of their child, the terms of which agreement both parties desire to set forth
in the present Stipulation and Custody Agreement, and;
WHEREAS, Mother and Father desire the provisions of the present Stipulation and
Custody Agreement be approved by the Honorable Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County
and entered as a Court Order, with the same force and effect as though said Order had been entered
after Petition, Notice and Hearing. There is no previous Order of Court concerning the child.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the
mutual promises and agreements contained herein, hereby agree as follows:
1. Legal Custody. Mother and Father shall have joint legal custody of their child. Joint
legal custody means both parents have the right to control and share in making of decisions of
importance in the life of their child, including educational, medical, and religious decisions. Both
parents shall be entitled to equal access to the child's school, medical, dental, and other important
records.
As soon as practicable after the receipt by a party, copies of a child's school schedules,
special events notifications, report cards, and similar items shall be provided to the other party.
Each shall notify the other party of any medical, dental, optical and other appointments of a child
with healthcare providers, sufficiently in advance thereof so that the other party can attend.
Notwithstanding that both parents shall share legal custody, non-major decisions involving
the child's day-to-day living shall be made by the parent then having physical custody, consistent
with the other provisions of this Agreement and subsequent Order.
2. Physical Custody. The parties shall equally share physical custody of the child and
shall alternate seven-day periods with the child, which will begin on Friday by 5;30 p.m. and last
until the following Friday. Mother's period of custody will begin anytime after school on Friday
on March 17, 2006 and no later than 5:30 p.m. The parties shall switch physical custody every
Friday by 5:30 p.m. thereafter.
If a parent having physical custody for that particular week is unable to care for the child
for a period of more than six (6) hours, that parent will contact the other parent and offer a period
of custody with the child before contacting any other caregiver or babysitter.
The parties shall each have an block of time with the child on each major holiday. Nothing
in this custody agreement will prevent the parties from making other arrangements for physical
custody upon mutual agreement.
3. Transportation and Exchange. The transportation shall be shared equally by the
parties, with the parent who is to receive custody at the time of the exchange to provide for
transportation from the residence or location of the other parent. At all times, the child shall be
secured in appropriate passenger restraints. No person transporting the child shall consume
alcoholic beverages to the point of intoxication prior to transporting the child or be under the
influence of any alcoholic beverages which would impair their ability to drive while transporting
the child.
4. Contact Limited. Under no circumstances will either party allow the child to have
contact with Dale Moyer.
5. Ongoing Relationehin. Neither party shall attempt to undermine the mutual love and
affection that the child may have for the other parent and neither parent shall, in the presence of the
child make any disparaging or negative remarks concerning the other parent. Each party shall
confer with the other on all matters of importance relating to the child's health, maintenance, and
education with a view toward obtaining and following a harmonious policy in the child's education
and social adjustment. Each party agrees to keep the other informed of his or her residence and
telephone number to facilitate communication concerning the welfare of the child and visitation
period. Each party agrees to supply the name, address, and telephone numbers of any person in
whose care the child will be in for a period in excess of forty-eight (48) hours, and for each person
or entity which may provide daycare for the child.
6. Ifiness a he Child. Emergency decisions regarding a child shall be made by the parent
then having cost dy. However, in the event of any emergency or serious illness of a child at any
time, any party then having custody of the child shall communicate with the other party by
telephone or any other means practicable, informing the other party of the nature of the illness or
emergency, so the other parent can become involved in the decision making process as soon as
possible. The term "serious illness" as used herein shall mean any disability which confines a
child to bed for a period in excess of seventy-two (72) hours and which places the child under the
direction of a licensed physician. During such illness, each party shall have the right to visit the
child as often as he or she desires, consistent with the medical care of the child.
7. Welfare of the Child to be Considered The welfare and convenience of the child
shall be the prime consideration of the parties in any application of the provisions of this
Agreement. Both parents are directed to listen carefully and consider the wishes of the children in
addressing the custodial schedule, any changes to the schedule, and any other parenting issues.
8. Binding Effect and Modification of Order. This Agreement and all of its terms and
conditions shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, and assigns. The parties are free to modify the terms of this Agreement
but in order to do so both parties must be in complete agreement to any new terms. That means
both parties must consent on what the new terms of the custody arrangement or visitation schedule
shall be.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and controlled by the
laws of Pennsylvania.
10. Enforcement. The parties agree that this Agreement maybe adopted as an Order of
Court without the necessity of a Court hearing.

parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and no representations, inducements, promises or
agreements, oral or otherwise, not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. This Agreement

subject matter of this Agreement.

Petitioner's
Exhibit
„A"
NOW THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the
mutual promises and agreements contained herein, hereby agree as follows:
1. Legal Custody. Mother and Father shall have joint legal custody of their child. Joint
legal custody means both parents have the right to control and share in making of decisions of
importance in the life of their child, including educational, medical, and religious decisions. Both
parents shall be entitled to equal access to the child's school, medical, dental, and other important
records.
As soon as practicable after the receipt by a party, copies of a child's school schedules,
_pectal events notifications. report cards, and similar items shall be provided to the other party.
e r` ^='` i= W n : dical; dental; optical and other appointments of a chi'tu
,vi t heLahcare providers, sufficiently in advance thereof so that the other party can attend.
Notwithstanding that both parents shall share legal custody, non-major decisions involving
the child's day-to-day living shall be made by the parent then having physical custody, consistent
with the other provisions of this Agreement and subsequent Order.
1. Physical Custody. The parties shall equally share physical custody of the child and
shall alternate seven-day periods with the child, which will begin on Friday by 5:30 p.m. and last
until the following Friday. Mother's period of custody will begin anytime after school on Friday
on March 17, 2006 and no later than 5:30 p.m. The parties shall switch physical custody every
Friday by 5:30 p.m. thereafter.
If a parent having physical custody for that particular week is unable to care for the child
for a period of more than six (6) hours, that parent will contact the other parent and offer a period
of custody with the child before contacting any other caregiver or babysitter.
The parties shall each have an block of time with the child on each major holiday. Nothing
in this custody agreement will prevent the parties from making other arrangements for physical
custody upon mutual agreement.
3. Transportation and Exchange The transportation shall be shared equally by the
parties, with the parent who is to receive custody at the time of the exchange to provide for `
transportation from the residence or location of the other parent. At all times, the child shall be
secured in appropriate passenger restraints. No person transporting the child shall consume
alcoholic beverages to the point of intoxication prior to transporting the child or be under the
influence of any alcoholic beverages which would impair their ability to drive while transporting
the child.
4. Contact Limited. Under no circumstances will either party allow the child to have
contact with Dale Moyer.
5. Ongoing Relationship: Neither party shall attempt to undermine the mutual love and
affection that the child may have for the other parent and neither parent shall, in the presence of the
child make any disparaging or negative remarks concerning the other parent. Each party shall
confer with the other on all matters of importance relating to the child's health, maintenance, and
education with a view toward obtaining and following a harmonious policy in the child's education
and social adjustment. Each party agrees to keep the other informed of his or her residence and
telephone number to facilitate communication concerning the welfare of the child and visitation
period. Each party agrees to suepiv the name, address, and telephone numbers of any person in
whose care the child will be -Ir. for- a period in excess of forty-eight (48) hours, and for each person
or enti:;- which mat; ro`: ide dav,-
. . p are fcr the child.
Illness of the Child. Emergency decisions regarding a child shall be made by the parent
then having cust?dy. However, in the event of any emergency or serious illness of a child at any
time, any party then having custody of the child shall communicate with the other party by
telephone or any other means practicable, informing the other party of the nature of the illness or
emergency, so the other parent can become involved in the decision making process as soon as
possible. The term "serious illness" as used herein shall mean any disability which confines a
child to bed for a period in excess of seventy-two (72) hours and which places the child under the
direction of a licensed physician. During such illness, each party shall have the right to visit the
child as often as he or she desires, consistent with the medical care of the child.
7. Welfare of the Child to be Considered. The welfare and convenience of the child
shall be the prime consideration of the parties in any application of the provisions of this
Agreement. Both parents are directed to listen carefully and consider the wishes of the children in
addressing the custodial schedule, any changes to the schedule, and any other parenting ]issues.
S. Binding Effect and Modification of Order. This Agreement and all of its terms and
conditions shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, and assigns. The parties are free to modify the terms of this Agreement
but in order to do so both parties must be in complete agreement to any new terms. That means
both parties crust consent on what the new tenns of the custody arrangement or visitation schedule
shall be.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and controlled by the
laws of Pennsylvania.
10. Enforcement. The parties agree that this Agreement maybe adopted as an Order of
Court without the necessity of a Court hearing.
11. Entire Agreement, This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the.
parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and no representations, inducements, promises or
agreements, oral or otherwise, not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. This Agreement
supersedes any and all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereto duly executed the present Stipulation
and Custody Agreement the day and year first above written.
