at 10 Pennsylvania Avenue, Apartment 1, Newville, Cumberland County, PA.

front of the children.
6. Father has been centrally involved in the children's lives and has seen changes in their
behavior, emotional health and school work as a result of the abuse they witness at Mother's home.
7. Father believes there will be irreparable consequences if Mother continues to live
with Mr. Perry while she has custody of the children.
8. Mother's living arrangements are not stable because she moves out for a few days

13. The Honorable Wesley J. Oler, Jr. signed the prior Custody Order in this matter.

Conference before Jacqueline M. Verney, Esquire, who has indicated she could get the parties in
