that they will have shared legal custody of Sydney VanDerau ("Child"). The parties

time of the emergency shall be permitted to make any immediate decisions
necessitated thereby. However, that party shall inform the other of the emergency and
consult with him or her as soon as possible. Each party shall be entitled to complete
and full information from any doctor, dentist, teacher, professional or any and all other
authorities and to have copies of any reports given to either party as a parent pursuant
to 23 Pa.C.S. §5309.

affections of the Child from the other and will make a special conscious effort not to do
so. Both parents shall establish a no-conflict zone for their Child and refrain from and,
to the extent possible, shall not permit third parties from making such comments in the
presence of the Child whether the Child is sleeping or awake. Each parent shall speak

during his custodial time, he dropped Sydney off at Mother's house at approximately 7:15
on Monday July 23, in violation of the Court Order.
30. As a result of Father's violation of the exchange times that were set forth in
Order, Mother had to take Sydney with her to her job in Wilkes Barre.
31. This action could very well have jeopardized Mother's job, and could result
A
Mother losing her job if it becomes a regular occurrence.
32. Mother has additional dates when she will be out of town for work purposes,
has offered these times to Father in accordance with the Order.
33. Mother is concerned that Father will continue to require her to find care
Sydney during these additional custodial times and will simply drop Sydney off at Mother's
house if she does not, to the detriment of Sydney and Mother and Mother's job, unless he is
accountable for his actions.
34. Furthermore, Father has made no effort, and oftentimes has refused to honor
of Sydney's previously scheduled summer activities, including, sleepaway camps, a
Hockey Youth Camp that Sydney attended last year, and riding lessons that fall during bi
custodial time.
35. Mother is also concerned that Father will continue to refuse to honor
previously scheduled activities, to Sydney's detriment.
36. Mother has incurred significant legal fees as a result of Father's
action.
37. Thus, Mother requests that Father be held in contempt of the June 5, 2012
and be required to pay sanctions and reasonable attorney's fees for the preparation and
of this Petition.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner Katie E. Vanderau, respectfully requests this Honorable
find Defendant, Troy Vanderau, in Contempt of the June 5, 2012 Order, and require him to
sanctions and reasonable attorney's fees for the preparation and argument of this Petition.

Subject: RE: Re: Custody eval.
Dear Paul:
I spoke with Katie, and we do want to note that we did discuss the issue of camp, specifically as to the fact that
whichever weekend Troy picked as his first weekend with Sydney would interfere with one of her weeks at cam and he
would have to get her to camp on that Sunday. I don't believe that we specifically stated that he would have t take her
to camp during that extended weekend, but we did discuss the various dates of her camp prior to that convers tion. It
was not an intentional omission. I understand that this discussion was not included in the Conciliation report, ut that
does not mean that it was not discussed at some point during our conversation.
That being said, my client has contacted the camp, and Sydney will not be able to come on the 23. The camp d es not
allow the campers to arrive late. Thus, if Troy chooses not to take Sydney to camp on July 22, which it sounds I ke he is
not, then Katie will meet him at the regular time and place on July 23 and Sydney will just not go to camp that eek.
Thank you, and please let me know if you would like to discuss this further.

1. Plaintiff/Respondent is Katie E. Vanderau (hereinafter referred to as `
and resides at 113 Tupelo Street, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsy
17110.
2. Defendant/Petitioner is Troy A. Vanderau (hereinafter referred to as 'T
and resides at 6108 Galleon Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
Pennsylvania 17050.
3. The above-named parties are the natural parents of Sydney Ruth V
(hereafter referred to as "Child"), who was born on July 11, 2002.
4. The parties entered into a Custody Stipulation on September 12, 2006, which
entered as an Order of Court. A true and accurate copy is attached as Exhibit "A.
O-A
4-a
aj
06 SPA a
5. Upon the filing of a Petition for Modification on April 24, 2012 by Mother a
custody conciliation was held before conciliator Dawn Sunday, Esquire on
29, 2012.
6. Following the May 29, 2012 conciliation, an Order was entered by the Court
the Honorable Judge Christylee Peck dated June 5, 2012 establishing the
agreed by both Mother and Father. A true and accurate copy is attached
"Exhibit "B."
7. Paragraph 2 of the June 5 Order states, "Neither party shall attempt to alienate
affections of the Child from the other party."
8. At the conciliation before Mrs. Sunday, Mother stated that the Child does
have Facebook. However, Mother contacted Father in July stating that the
does in fact have Facebook, but Mother has the password.
9. On July 9, 2012, hours after both parties attended a scheduled child
hearing in Cumberland County, Mother posted on her Facebook "Oh the regret
not spending the IOk on a hitman six years ago....... lol." A true and
copy of the Facebook posting is attached as Exhibit "C."
10. It is believed by Defendant and therefore averred that this is in reference to
Defendant, as six (6) years ago was when the parties separated and divorced.
11. The Child is "friends" with Mother on Facebook, and is therefore able to view
posts made by Mother, including those posts made in regards to Father.
12. The Child is also able to see all comments and "likes" to Mother's comments
any of Mother's "friends" concerning posts made by Mother.
13. Not only does Mother's post reflect criminal behavior, it also impacts on
Father's reputation with the child.
14. Following Mother's post, Father had to assure the child that Mother was o?y
kidding, in specific reference to Mother's post that child viewed.
15. Mother assured and testified before the conciliator that the child does not
Facebook, only to later reveal to Father that the child has had Facebook the
time and to Mother's knowledge.
16. According to the policies of Facebook, an individual may not have a Face
unless they have obtained the age of thirteen (13) years of age.
17. The Child is only ten (10) years old as of the date of the filing of this Petition.
18. Mother is permitting the child to use Facebook while such is in violation of 1
testimony and assurances at the conciliation, as well as federal law under
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) which F
complies with.
19. Father does not believe it to be in the child's best interest to use Facebook at
time due to the dangers and impressionable material available to young
online.
20. Paragraph one (1) of the Order states "Each party agrees not to impair the
parry's rights to shared legal custody of the Child ...Each party shall notify
other of any activity or circumstance concerning their Child that could
be expected to be of concern to the other." See Ex. B.
21. Mother and Father share legal custody of the child, which includes, among
responsibilities, the child's education.
22. Upon Father's request, Mother submitted to Father a copy of the child's
card following the end of the fourth (41) marking period, which included not only
her grades, but also the absences during each marking period. A true and
copy of the document provided to Father from Mother is attached as Exhibit "Ci"
23. However, the document provided to Father had some questioning markings
appeared to be "white-out" near the third marking quarter, which would
there were no absences.
24. Father contacted Thomas W. Holtzman Jr. Elementary to request the child's
report card. The report card received by Father reflected the child had i
two (2) absences during the third marking period. A true and correct copy of
document provided to Father from the school is attached as Exhibit "D."
25. Per the custody order, Father is granted a full and accurate accounting of
child's education, including her absences from school, without redaction
interference from Mother.
26. Mother's redaction of the third marking period, and Mother assuring Father
were no absences during the third marking period, which were testified to at
conciliation before Mrs. Sunday, violates Father's rights under the custody
27. Further, Mother testified at the conciliation when posed by Father that the
was withdrawn from school on May 11, 2012 specifically for the conciliation
such was noted to the school.
28. However, Mother notified the school that the child was absent from the seconA-
half of the school day for the reason of "family - grandparent surgery." A true
correct copy of the attendance student recording listing from child's school is
attached as Exhibit "E."
29. It is averred by Defendant that there was no surgery for any family member,
in fact the child was present in Dawn Sunday's office on May 11 in the
accompanying her Mother to the conciliation.
30. While Mother's misdirecting the school isn't a clear violation of the custody
order, it does expose the child to deception and manipulation, which Father
not wish for the child to be exposed to nor to exhibit herself in her up
through Mother's actions.
31. Father wishes for Mother to adopt a positive attitude and lifestyle which does
reflect poorly on the child, nor teaches the child the rightness of improper
such as lying or manipulation.
32. Both Father and Mother are attending sessions before a custody evaluator, per
recommendation of Dawn Sunday. Father is to attend his session in late
2012.
33. Defendant respectfully requests that Plaintiff's July 25, 2012 Petition
Contempt be joined and heard with Defendant's Petition for Contempt, and that a
conciliation be scheduled following the completed custody evaluation.
34. Father has incurred significant legal fees as a result of Mother's
actions.
WHEREFORE, Father respectfully requests the following:
a. That this Court find Mother in contempt of the Order;
b. That the child's Facebook be disabled;
c. That the June 5, 2012 Custody Order be appropriately modified;
d. That Mother be responsible for reasonable counsel fees, sanctions, and co;
and
e. Any other relief this Court finds just and proper.

them to effectively co-parent their Child.
16. The parties shall print and retain all emails to each other.

impairs the ability to exercise custody unless every individual who has custodial rights to the Child
consents to the proposed relocation or the Court approves the proposed relocation. A person proposing
to relocate MUST comply with 23 Pa. C.S. § 5337.
18. This Order is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties at a custody conciliation
conference. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent in writing. In the

Andreozzi & Associates, and seeks to obtain Defendant's cell phone number, and avers the
following:
1. The Plaintiff is Katie E. Vanderau, who is currently residing at 113 Tupelo Street,
Harrisburg, PA 17110 (hereinafter "Mother").
2. The Defendant is Troy A. Vanderau, who is currently residing at 6108 Galleon
Drive, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050 (hereinafter "Father").
3. The parties are the parents of Sydney Ruth Vanderau (hereinafter "Child"), who
was born on July 11, 2002.
4. Pursuant to a July 1, 2013 Order of Court that was entered by agreement after a
Conciliation, Mother has primary physical custody of the Child during the school year and
Father has physical custody of the Child every other weekend from Friday through Sunday/s
during the school year. g,OC)-P8
CitIV°3 0149
a�it eras
5. During the summer, starting in the summer of 2014, the parties have agreed to
share custody on a week on/week off basis.
6. Father also has a weekly telephone call every Wednesday with the Child at 8:00
p.m.
7. Prior to this Order, Father had provided Mother with his home number in order
for Mother to be able to contact Father in the event of an emergency or if she wanted to contact
the Child during Father's periods of partial physical custody.
8. Mother recently learned that Father's home number has been disconnected.
9. Mother now does not have a phone number to directly contact Father in the event
of an emergency or during his periods of partial physical custody.
10. Father has a cell phone that he has been using to contact the Child for his weekly
telephone calls, but has thus far refused to provide that number to Mother.
11. These phone calls show up as restricted, so Mother cannot see the phone number
that Father is calling from or call Father back on that number.
12. As a result, the only way that Mother can now directly contact Father is through
e-mail.
13. Mother needs to be able to directly contact Father in the event of an emergency
that involves either her or the Child.
14. Furthermore, Mother needs to be able to directly contact Father during his times
of physical custody of the Child.
15. Undersigned counsel contacted counsel for Father numerous times in an attempt
to remedy this situation.
16. Counsel for Father repeatedly stated that Father would not provide Mother with
his personal cell phone number, despite the fact that he has been using it to contact the Child for
his weekly telephone calls.
17. As such, it has become necessary to seek court involvement.
18. It is in the Child's best interest for Mother to be able to directly contact Father by
phone in the event of an emergency or during Child's custodial time with Father.
19. Therefore, Mother respectfully requests that this Honorable Court Order Father to
provide Mother with his personal cell phone number within ten (10) days of the date of this
Order.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner Katie E. Vanderau, respectfully requests this Honorable Court
Order Father to provide Mother with his personal cell phone number within ten (10) days of the
date of this Order.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
KATIE E. VANDERAU,
Plaintiff
v.
TROY A. VANDERAU,
Defendant
No. 2006-5068
Petition for Contempt and Modification
1. Petitioner is Defendant, TROY A. VANDERAU, who currently resides at 6108
Galleon Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, PA 17050.
2. Respondent is Plaintiff, KATIE E. VANDERAU, who currently resides at 1303
Arthur Drive Apt. 106, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, PA 17110.
3. Petitioner and Respondent are the natural parents of the following child:
Name Age
SYDNEY R. VANDERAU 12 years
4. A custody order was entered on 7/1/2013, in the Cumberland County Court of
Common Pleas. A copy of the custody order is attached.
5. Respondent has willfully violated the custody order, as follows:
8/1/2014 - Mother fails to offer first refusal and informing father of her unavailability.
7/27/2014 - Mother fails to offer first refusal and informing father of her unavailability.
7/13/2014 - Mother fails to offer first refusal and informing father of her unavailability.
6/30/2014 - Mother enrolled child in an activity which fell on father's custodial time without a
confirmed agreement to the enrollment in writing.
6/24/2012 - Mother continues to deny the father's request of information of counselor the child is
attending.
4/30/2014 - Mother provides false information to father when the father requested full
information to doctor's visit when child was sick.
0. Da
cacti
/13/ 6)4°0
6. Petitioner seeks to modify the custody order because: With the mother's
continuous lack of respect of the current Custody Order, her willingness to alienate the child
from the father, lack of providing medical care to the child when sick, failure to parent the child
and make corrections to the child when the child is misbehaving, not providing the stability with
the child's education, family life and community life with frequent residential moves, her
willingness to want to move to Florida "with or without her" without no extended family, and
with the continuous traveling the mother does. I believe it is in the best interest of the child that
primary custody of the child goes to the father.
The father, who has been in a marriage since 2008 and has been living in the same school district
for over 4 years with no plans on moving from the current school district and provides a more
traditional family atmosphere for the child. The child interacts extremely well with her younger
brother and enjoys the lifestyle the father and stepmother have provided for their family. The
father has extended family close to his current address and the child attends summer vacations
with that extended family. The child has expressed to the father that she is tired of moving with
her mother and constantly changing friends.
7. Petitioner believes the custody order should be changed as follows:
a. Father shall have primary physical custody of the child.
b. Legal custody will be 50/50.
c. During the school year, the Mother shall have partial physical custody of the Child on
alternating weekends from Friday at 5:00 p.m. through Sunday at 8:00 p.m.
d. If the Mother maintains residency in the Harrisburg, Pa. area, during the summer school
break, the parties shall follow an alternating week custodial schedule.
e. The custodial parent receiving custody is responsible to provide transportation for the
exchange of custody at the other's parent's residence. If the custodial parent receiving custody is
having someone other than them self pick up the child. The custodial parent receiving custody
will inform the other parent who is arriving to pick up the child.
f. If the Mother maintains residency in the Harrisburg, Pa. area, when a parent is unavailable to
provide care for the Child during his or her period of custody for an overnight or longer, that
parent shall first contact the other parent offer the opportunity to have custody of the Child
during the custodial parent's unavailability.
g. The Mother will have a scheduled phone call of with the Child every Wednesday evening at
8:00 p.m. Additionally, the Mother may have reasonable telephone contact with the Child at
other times.
h. If the Mother maintains residency in the Harrisburg, Pa. area, the custodial parent will inform
the other when the Child will be staying outside the residence of the custodial parent. The
custodial parent will provide in advance the address, adult's name at the residence and phone
number for the other parent to contact in case of an emergency.
i. Neither party will enroll the Child in an activity which could fall on the custodial time of the
other parent unless both parties have confirmed agreement to the enrollment in writing.
j. The custodial parent shall promptly notify the other parent in the event the Child will be
absent from school.
k. If the Mother maintains residency in the Harrisburg, Pa. area, during the school year
arrangements can be made with the Father for the Child to spend evenings with the Mother. Pick
up and drop off will be responsibility of the Mother. The Child is to be returned to the Father no
later than 8:00 p.m. during the school year. The request to do such will be given to the Father by
email no later than 7 days prior to the time and date requesting. Refusal to the request will be
given by email with a brief explanation of the refusal with possible alternate available dates.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court find Respondent in
contempt of Court and modify the Order as requested.

following a harmonious policy in the Child's best interest. Neither party shall impair the other party's
rights to shared legal custody of the Child. Neither party shall attempt to alienate the affections of the
Child from the other party. Each party shall notify the other of any activity or circumstance

decisions shall be the responsibility of the parent then having physical custody. With regard to any
emergency decisions which must be made, the parent having physical custody of the Child at the time
of the emergency shall be permitted to make any immediate decisions necessitated thereby. However,
that parent shall inform the other of the emergency and consult with him or her as soon as possible. In
accordance with 23 Pa.C.S.A. §5336, each party shall be entitled to complete and full information from
any doctor, dentist, teacher, professional or authority and to have copies of any reports or information

3. The Mother shall have'primary physical custody of the Child.
4. During the school year, the Father shall have partial physical custody of the Child on

5. During the summer school break in 2013, the parties shall follow the alternating weekend
partial custody schedule with the Father also having custody of the Child from August 9 through
August 25. Beginning in 2014 and continuing thereafter, the parties shall share having custody of the
Child during the summer school break on an alternating weekly basis with the exchange to take place
every Monday at 8:00 p.m. The summer custody schedule shall begin with the parent who did not
havecustody on the first weekend after the last day of school. The summer custody schedule shall end
one full week before school begins.
6. Except as otherwise stated in this Order, the parent receiving custody of the Child shall be

7. In the event either parent is unavailable to provide care for the Child during his or her period
of custody for an overnight period or longer, that parent shall first contact the other parent to offer the
opportunity to have custody of the Child during the custodial parent's unavailability. The non-
custodial parent shall be entitled to have custody of the Child under this right of first refusal even if
that parent is not available during the entire period of the custodial parent's unavailability. Unless
otherwise agreed between the parties, the non-custodial parent who is assuming custody under this
provision shall be responsible to provide all transportation for exchanges of custody.
8. In the event the Child will be staying outside of the residence of the custodial parent for an
overnight period or longer, that parent shall notify the other parent in advance of the address and
telephone number where the Child can be contacted.
9. The Father shall have a scheduled telephone call with the Child every Wednesday evening
at 8:00 p.m. Additionally, the Father may have reasonable telephone contact with the Child at other
times.
10. In order to improve communications and share information pertaining to the Child, the

12. Neither party shall activate the Child's Face Book page without the written consent of the

complete terms of the agreement.
14. Neither party shall enroll the Child in an activity which could fall on the custodial time of
the other parent unless both parties have confirmed agreement to the enrollment in writing. Likewise,
neither party shall give permission for the Child to discontinue an activity unless both parties have

enrollment of the Child in, or removal of the Child from, an activity at which time both parties must
agree to the enrollment or discontinuation. The parties agree that the Child shall continue to
participate in horseback riding/showing during 2013 and that both parties shall ensure that the Child
attends all horseshows, riding lessons and special events (such as the banquet) during his or her period
of custody. The parties have agreed that the Child will participate in shows which fall on the Father's
custodial period on September 14, October 26 and November 22, 2013. The parties shall continue to
discuss the roundup show on July 20, 2013 and the horse show on August 17, 2013 (which falls within
the Father's vacation weeks) to make arrangements for the Child to participate in those activities if at
all possible. In future years, if the parties have agreed that the Child shall participate in horseback
riding for the following year, within one month of receipt of the horse show schedule in February, the
parties shall cooperate with each other in establishing a schedule for the shows in which the Child shall
participate and determine the custodial arrangements. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement
between them, they shall engage the services of a mediator to assist them. The parties shall establish a
horse show/custodial schedule either by discussion or mediation by April 1 of each year.
15. The parties shall continue to discuss the possibility of participating in a course of co -
parenting counseling to assist them in establishing sufficient communication and cooperation to enable
them to effectively co -parent their Child.
16. The parties shall print and retain all emails to each other.
17. No party shall be permitted to relocate the residence of the Child which significantly
impairs the ability to exercise custody unless every individual who has custodial rights to the Child
consents to the proposed relocation or the Court approves the proposed relocation. A person proposing
to relocate MUST comply with 23 Pa. C.S. § 5337.
18. This Order is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties at a custody conciliation
conference. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent in writing. In the
absence of mutual consent in writing, the terms of this Order shall control.

KATIE E. VANDERAU IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
vs.
TROY A. VANDERAU
Defendant
Prior Judge: Christylee L. Peck
2006-5068 CIVIL ACTION LAW
IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME
Sydney Ruth Vanderau
BIRTH YEAR CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
2002 Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on September 16, 2014, with the following
individuals in attendance: the Mother, Katie E. Vanderau, with her counsel, Justin Abel Esquire, and
the Father, Troy A. Vanderau, who is not represented by counsel in this matter.
3. This Court previously entered an Order in this matter on July 1, 2013 under which the
Mother has primary physical custody of the Child and the Father has partial physical custody on
alternating weekends during the school year and during alternating weeks during the summer. The
Father filed this Petition for Contempt and Modification seeking primary physical custody of the
Child.
4. It was agreed at the conference that the Mother would provide information to the Father
regarding the Child's physician visits during March, April and May and the Father agreed to consider
having the Child work with a mutually selected counselor to determine how the Child is doing and
provide guidance to the parents on the issues which were the subject of the Father's Petition. The
Father agreed to consider that option as an alternative to scheduling a hearing at this time but reserved
the right to request that a hearing be scheduled by October 7.
5. The Father subsequently contacted the conciliator to advise that the information provided by
the Mother had been contradicted by the physicians identified and the Father requested that a hearing
be scheduled without further delay.
6. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father believes it would be in the
Child's best interests for him to have primary physical custody throughout the year to prevent the
Child from going back and forth when the Mother travels frequently for her work. The Father also
continues to have concerns about whether the Child is receiving necessary medical care and believes
the Mother has been withholding information about the Child's attendance at counseling and
appointments with physicians. The Father indicated that the Mother repeatedly failed to exercise the
right of first refusal provided in the 2013 Order during the summer, and also violated the Order by
enrolling the Child in activities without prior consultation or agreement with the Father. Finally, a
major concern for the Father is his belief that the Mother has provided him with false information
about the Child's medical care.
7. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother denied the Father's allegations
with regard to her failure to provide information to the Father concerning the Child's health and
medical treatment. Conversely, the Mother indicated that she notified the Father appropriately and that
she would provide the information again to the Father following the conciliation conference. The
Mother indicated that her travel has almost exclusively taken place during the summer months when
the Father has custody of the Child on alternating weeks so that it did not affect the Child's schedule as
alleged by the Father. The Mother opposes the Father's request for primary physical custody.
8. As the Father has requested the scheduling of a hearing and the fact that the parties have
completely different perspectives on their communications and the Child's needs, it will be necessary
to schedule a hearing. It is anticipated that the hearing will require up to one-half day. The Father
does not intend to obtain legal representation for the hearing and therefore no pretrial conference is
scheduled in the recommended Order.
