7. Mother has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in other
custody litigation concerning the custody of the children in this or another court.
7. Mother has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the children pending
in a court ofthis Commonwealth.
8. 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.
9. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be served by granting the
relief requested for reasons including, but not limited to the following:
a. Since the children were born, Mother has provided for the children's emotional,
physical, educational, financial and medical needs.
b. Since the children were born, Mother has been the parent primarily responsible
for their daily care.
c. Mother has a stable home environment with sufficient room that is safe and
appropriate for the daily care of the children.
d. Since mid-November 2005, when Father left the home to live with his paramour,
Mother has had primary custody of the children.
e. Mother is willing to communicate with and work cooperatively with Father to co-
parent the children and will encourage father/child relationships with all three
children.
10. Father has not acted in the children's best interests in ways including but not limited
to the following:
a. Father has made no attempt to contact the children since he left to live with his
paramour in mid-November 2005. Father's initial contact with the children on
December 27, 2005, was because Mother contacted Father for help watching the
children.
b. Father snatched two of the children, Alaysia and Landon, from Mother's home on
January IS, 2006. Father came to the house, Alaysia answered the door while
Mother was upstairs with Bryson, and Father took Alaysia and Landon without
agreement or discussion with Mother.
c. Since January IS, 2006, Father has not allowed Mother to have any contact with
Alaysia or Landon.
d. Father has demonstrated no concern for the well-being of the children in that he
has separated the children without consideration of the fact that they have never
been raised apart.
e. Father lives with four (4) other people, in addition to the two children he snatched
from Mother, in a two-bedroom apartment. There is not sufficient room to house
seven (7) people and it is not a safe or healthy environment to raise two young
children.
f. Father's actions m prohibiting contact between Mother and the children IS
detrimental to the mother/child relationship and does not serve the children's best
interests.
g. Father has an extensive criminal history and was incarcerated on five separate
occasions since the children were born. Mother fears that Father's criminal
history, his history of incarceration, and the fact that he has never becn a primary
caretaker for the children makes him unstable in regard to providing for their
daily needs.
h. Mother believes that Father and his housemates will soon be evicted. This raises
a concern for Father's ability to provide a stable home environment for the
children.
12. Every person with rights to custody or having actual physical custody of the children
has been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Mother requests this Court to order the following relief:
1. That the parties shall share legal custody of the children.
2. That Mother shall have primary physical custody of the children.
3. That Father shall have periods of partial custody at times agreed upon by the
parties.
4. That the non-custodial parent shall have reasonable telephone contact with the
children while they are with the other parent.
5. That the parties shall have an appropriate holiday schedule so that both parents
can spend time with the children during various holidays.
6. Any other relief this Court finds just and equitable.
