action (hereinafter referred to as "Father"), an adult individual residing at 131 Airport Road,
Shippensburg, Cumberland Chunty, Pennsylvania 17257.
2. The defendant is Heather K. Kershner, the natural mother of the child who is the subject of
this action (hereinafter referred to as "Mother"), an adult individual residing at 7701 Creek Road,
Apartment B, Orrstown, Franklin Chunty, Pennsylvania 17244.
3. Plaintiff Father seeks primary physical and joint legal custody of the following child:
~
Present Residence
h.g(:
Chase Matthew Chnyers
7701 Creek Road, Apt. B
Orrstown, PA 17244
1 (DOB 3/10/2005)
4. Father and Mother are the natural parents of the child.
5. The child was born out of wedlock
.
6. The child is presently in the custody of Mother, but has resided with the following parties
for the following specified periods:
a. With Mother and Father from birth until April 1 , 2006.
b. With Mother in Orrstown, Franklin Chunty, Pennsylvania, from April 1, 2006, to the
present.
7. The parties were never married.
8. Mother has had limited contact with the child prior to the parties' separation.
9. Father has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in other litigation
concerning the custody of the child in this or another court.
10. Father has no reliable information of any other custody proceeding concerning the child
pending in a court of this Chrnrnonwealth or any other state.
11. Father does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical custody
of the child or claints to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the child.
12. The best interests and permanent welfare of the child will be served by granting the relief
requested herein because Father has had an equal role as one of the sole and primal)' caregivers for the
child for the vast majority of the child's life and he is gainfully employed.
13. Since the parties separation Father resides with the child's paternal grandparents and is part
of a stable home environment within which to raise the child.
14. Since the parties' separation, while Mother has allowed Father to see the child on occasion,
she has also made threats to keep the child from him completely and to relocate without Father to
frustrate Father's ability to have contact with the child.
15. Father believes and therefore avers that it is in the child's best interests for him to be
awarded primal)' physical and joint legal custody of the child and requests that such be incorporated
into an Orderto be issued by this Honorable Churt.
.
16. Father believes that the best interests of the child would be best served by an award of
primal)' physical and joint legal custody to him. Plaintiff also believes that the child must continue to
have a relationship with Mother, which he will encourage and facilitate with all reasonable efforts, and
agrees that Mother should be pennirted reasonable visitation and contact with the child.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Ryan C. Chnyers, respectfully requests that this Honorable Churt
enter an order granting primal)' physical and joint legal custody of the child to him. Plaintiff
furthermore requests that this Churt enter an Order awarding Defendant, Mother, Heather K.
Kershner, rights to partial custody of the child along with any additional relief that the Churt may deem
appropriate and just.
Respectfully submitted,
