Complaint for Custody with the Court on July 3, 2006.
16. A Custody Order was issued by the Court on August 10, 2006, wherein: the

33. Petitioner will provide a perpetually stable and safe home environment for the

conference and subsequently grant the Plaintiff's requests for modification of the August
10, 2006 Custody Order and grant Plaintiff primary physical custody.
