CONCILIATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8(b), the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following
report:
1. The pertinent information pertaining to the children who are the subject of this
litigation is as follows:
Anastasia Raelyn Garman, born October 24,1998
Benjamin Jacob Garman, born May 2, 2002
2. The Conciliator conducted a telephone conference call conciliation with legal counsel
for the parties on December 28, 2006.
3. The history of the case is that the parties had a prior in-person conciliation conference
in April of 2006 at which time no formal Order was entered and the parties attempted
to work out an arrangement between themselves. The parties have somewhat of an
irregular work schedule that creates a situation where a typical custody Order may be
a little bit problematic. Since April, the Mother feels that the arrangement the parties
have been working under is not functioning properly for the children and the Mother
is desiring a situation where she basically has primary physical custody. The Father is
not in agreement and suggests that the existing custody arrangement continue.
Mother is requesting a hearing, and a hearing should be scheduled in this case.
4. The Conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached.

No. 2006-1112 - Cumberland County C.C.P.
Our File No. 12009.1
Dear Judge Guido:
You may recall that we canceled a custody hearing twice in this matter as the parties were
close to an agreement. Well, we finally reached an agreement and a Stipulation and proposed Order
are enclosed.
If this meets with your approval, would you kindly ask that a copy of the signed Order be sent
to Ms. Herman-Snyder and myself.
Very truly yours,
