PURSUANT TO 42 Pa.C.S.A. _~19i[5.13
AND NOW, this t~ay of July, 2004, comes the Petitioner, Kandice Galaspy, by and
through her attorney, Kara W. Haggerty, Esquire, of ABOM & KUTULAKIS, LLP, and fries this
Petition for Special Relief, and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. Petitioner, Kandice Galaspy (Mother), is an adult individual currendy residing at 1155
Boiling Springs Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
2. Respondent, Richard Jensen (Father), is an adult individual currently residing at 630 N.
Middleton Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. There is a prior court order, dated January 7, 2002, that does grant mother primary
physical custody and father periods of partial physical custody of Aaron Jensen, born
December 9, 1993.
4. The parties, by agreement, have never stricdy enforced the January 7, 2002, court order
due to the fact that mother returned to Pennsylvania after a brief relocation to Florida.
5. Father has not exercised any of his physical custody rights with Aaron since Christmas
Day, 2003.
6. Father is insisting on having physical custody of Aaron for the weekend of July 23
through July 25, 2004.
7. There have been prior incidents of physical and verbal abuse by father on Aaron.
8. Aaron is currently enrolled in counseling due to the abuse and his relationship with his
father.
9. Aaron's counselors have related his behavior problems to the abuse he suffered from his
father. It would be in Aaron's best interests to continue in his counseling prior to resuming
any visitation with his father.
10. It would be in Aaron's best interests for his father to participate in his counseling prior
to resuming any visitation with Aaron. It would be in Aaron's best interests for visitation
between him and his father to be supervised initially with a gradual increase in partial
physical custody.
11.It would be in Aaron's best interests to postpone any visitation until such a time that a
mutually agreed upon arrangement or modification of the prior custody order can be
arranged.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant her Petition
