COMPLAINT
TO THE HONORABLE, JUDGES OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY:
AND NOW, comes the above mentioned Plaintiff, by her
lawful counsel, John J. Krafsig, Jr., Esquire, who makes the
following request for full physical custody of minor children,
by reason of the following:
1. The Plaintiff is an adult individual pre-
sently residing at 30 North Enola Drive, Enola, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17025.
2. The Defendant is Timothy A. Brulia, an adult
individual presently residing at Apartment D-102, 707 Hanover Manor,
Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
3. The Plaintiff has full and physical custody
of the following children, to wit: Scarlett A. D. Brulia, presently
five (5) years of age, born October 24, 1996; and Grace O. Brulia,
presently three (3) months of age, born December 27, 2001. Both
- 1 -
of the within mentioned children were not born out of wedlock.
4. The children are presently in the custody of
the Plaintiff, Holly R. Brulia, at 30 North Enola Drive, Enola,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
5. During the past five (5) years the parties
have resided with the child Scarlett and recently the child Grace,
at 14 Altoona Avenue, Enola, Pennsylvania 17025.
6. The mother of the children is currently
residing at 30 North Enola Drive, Enola, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17025 and she is currently married to the Defendant.
7. The relationship of the Plaintiff to the
said children, is that of Mother.
8. The Plaintiff currently resides with the
following person: Plaintiff's Mother, Donna Liddick.
9. The relationship of the Defendant to the
said children, is that of Father.
10. The Plaintiff has not participated as a party
or witness or in any other capacity, in any other litigation con-
cerning the custody of these children, in this or any other court.
11. The Plaintiff has no information as to any
custody proceedings concerning the children, pending in a Court
of the Commonwealth or any other state.
12. The Plaintiff does not know of a person not
~ party to these proceedings who has physical custody of the
- 2 -
children or claims to have custody or visitation rights with re-
spect to the children.
13. The best interest and permanent welfare of
the children would be best served by granting the relief requested,
by reason of the following:
The Plaintiff believes that in the best
interest of the children, that restrictive visitation,
supervised by Order of Court is necessary, by reason of the
following matters, which involves, but is not all inclusive,
to wit:
The Defendant frequently strikes his head on the wall,
when the child Scarlett is present; he throws himself on the
floor, pounding his fists and feet with regularity, each and
every month; he strikes his head with his shoe or slipper
and threatens to pull a certain hutch that exists in their
residence at 14 Altoona Avenue, Enola, Pennsylvania down upon
himself; screams constantly and attempts to create an air
of intimidation to the child and the Plaintiff; while the
Plaintiff was pregnant, with second child Grace, who is pre-
sently 3 months old, he pressed her to get an abortion; the
child Scarlett suffers from ADHD, requiring regular treatment
with a psychiatrist, Dr. Jobe, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania;
and Plaintiff reasonably believes that his air of intimidation
and yelling, screaming and actions by the Defendant adds
to the problems and condition of the said Scarlett, which
requires supervised visitation by an Order of Court for
the best interest and welfare of the children. Also, the
child Grace being born prematurely, needs special addition
and has medical problems because of the same, even though
she is now 3 months old, she is not developed as a normal
3 month old; he ignores the said child, as he says he did
not want the child and therefore also needs supervised
visitation by an Order of Court for her best interest and
welfare.
14. Each parent, whose parental rights to the
children has not been terminated and the person who has physical
- 3 -
custody of the children has been named as party to this action,
who is the Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff requests the Court to grant
full and complete physical custody of the within said children
to her, subject to supervised restricted visitation.
AND SHE WILL EVER PRAY;
Respectfully submitted,
