6. Transportation to effectuate exchanges of physical custody shall be arranged amicably
between the parties with due consideration given to each party's scheduling commitments. As
much as practical, the parties shall divide transportation responsibilities as equally as possible.
Failing an agreement, it shall be the responsibility of the person obtaining physical custody to
pick up the child for periods of physical custody.
7. In case there is a conflict between the holiday, vacation and weekend or weekday
schedules as set forth above, precedence shall first be given to the holiday schedule, then the
vacation schedule and then the weekend and weekday schedule, and the parties shall take the
same into consideration prior to picking their uninterrupted weeks of summer vacation.

smoke cigarettes inside the residence or vehicle. The parties shall likewise assure, to the extent
possible, that other household members and/or houseguests comply with this prohibition.
9. Neither parent shall permanently relocate if the relocation would necessitate a change

in the visitation schedule or if the relocation would result in a change of school for the children
or exceed a thirty (30) mile radius without a minimum notice of ninety (90) days to the other
parent. The ninety (90) day notice is designed to afford the parents an opportunity to renegotiate
the custodial arrangements or to have the matter listed for a court hearing. For the child's
welfare, neither parent should consider moving far from the other until the child has reached
adulthood.
10. This Order shall become a final Order of Court unless either party, within fourteen
(14) days of the date of this Order, files a written request for a hearing with the Prothonotary and
serves a copy of the same upon counsel for the opposing party and the Conciliator.

I have been appointed to act as Custody Conciliator regarding the pending Petition
between the parties. A Custody Conciliation Conference will be held in Room 312, Lebanon
County Courthouse, 400 South Eighth Street, Lebanon, Pennsylvania on September 13,
2005 at 9:00 a.m. The purpose of this conference will be to attempt to reach a resolution to the
Custody Petition. One (1) hour has been allotted for this conference.
The parties to the Petition, together with their counsel, must attend this conference.
Failure of a party to appear at the conference may provide grounds for the entry of a
recommendation of a temporary or permanent order.
Absent unusual circumstances, non-parties will not participate in the conference and
shou_ ld not attend this initial conference. In addition, the children that are the subject of the
Petition are normally not expected to attend.
No continuances or extensions shall be granted exce t in extraordin
Thereupon, the conference date scheduled in this letter will be changed only upon agreement of
both parties. Any party seeking to change the conference date will have the burden of seeking
the consent of the opposing party and scheduling a new date suitable to all parties and myself.
GERBER, FERRY & TANNER
Page 2
August 29, 2005
Counsel are encouraged to agree to rescheduling that does not result in any significant delay of
the initial conference. However, rescheduling will require the concurrence of the opposing party.
Any agreement to reschedule the conference date should be confirmed in writing by the
party who arranged for the new date. That writing should be directed to the opposing party only
after confirming with both the opposing party and myself that the date is suitable. The letter
should be directed to me. A copy should be sent to the opposing party, as well as the Lebanon
County Prothonotary.
All parties should promptly notify me, in writing, of representation by counsel not
reflected on this notice.
In the event we are able to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Petition at the time
of the initial conference, a Stipulation will need to be executed. Counsel are encouraged to bring
a proposed Stipulation with them to the initial conference. Subject to negotiations that would
occur, a Stipulation could serve as a framework for finalizing any agreement in appropriate
circumstances.
In the event that an agreement is not reached at the time of the initial conference, it is
expected that an Interim Order will be entered.
Counsel are also directed to bring with them, in written form, the information required by
Local Rule 1915.4-3 C. Failure to provide this information may result in the exclusion of
evidence as indicated in that Rule.
The issue of home studies and psychological counseling/evaluations maybe discussed at
the time of the conference. It is not expected that home studies will be ordered in every case. In
advance of the conference, the parties should consider the need for the same and the allocation of
the cost associated with them.
Depending on the complexity of the case and the time that maybe involved in conducting
a full hearing, one or both of the parties may be required to deposit fees, designed to cover the
expense of proceedings, with the Lebanon County Prothonotary. This may be a topic of
discussion at the time of the initial conference.
Telephone contact with me is discouraged. Discussions regarding the substantive issues
in the case should be limited to the scheduled conference and further hearing, if required.
Counsel and the parties may correspond with me in writing regarding procedural matters, if
necessary.

IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY COMPLAINT AND PETITION FOR RECONFERENCE
~. The Plaintiff/Respondent is Theresa L. Follett, who currently resides at
319 Braddock Drive, Etters, York County, Pennsylvania, 17319.
2. The Defendant/Petitioner is Gregory C. Follett, whose current address is 2004
Mount Vernon Circle, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, i~iio.
3. A custody complaint was originally filed in this matter in Lebanon County,
Pennsylvania to No. 2005-20646 which resulted in an agreed custody order being entered
dated September i9, 2005. A copy of the order is attached as Exhibit "A".
4. On or about July 24, 2006 the Plaintiff filed a Petition in Lebanon County to
transfer the order of custody to Cumberland County.
5. A motion and order approving the transfer is entered in Lebanon County on
October i~, 2006. A copy of the motion and order are attached as Exhibit "B".
6. Approximately November of 2006, the Defendant believes that a Petition to
Modify Custody was filed in Cumberland County to the above number. The Petition was not
served upon the Defendant nor has he ever received a copy.
~. On or about November 21, 2006, the conciliator, Dawn S. Sunday, Esquire,
mailed the Order of Court dated November i6, 2006, scheduling a conciliation conference for
December i4, 2006 at g:oo a.m. to Donald L. Jones, Esquire, who had previously represented
the Defendant when the original order was entered in Lebanon County.
8. Donald L. Jones, Esquire attempted to contact the Defendant to determine
whether or not he had received notice of the hearing and wished to be represented, however
Counsel was unable to contact Mr. Follett prior to the date of the hearing.
9. Donald L. Jones, Esquire, has not heretofore filed an appearance in this matter in
Cumberland County and was not the Defendant's attorney of record to receive service of the
Plaintiff s modification complaint.
10. The conciliation conference was held on December i4, 2006 and in the absence
of the Defendant, an Order modifying custody was entered. A copy of said order is attached as
Exhibit "C".
ii. As the Defendant did not receive notice of the conference or have the opportunity
to appear at the time of the conference to protect his interests, his due process rights were
violated and he requests that the case be reconferenced and the Order of December 18, 2006 be
vacated.
12. The Defendant wishes to modify the existing Order which provides for shared
physical and shared legal custody, however Defendant wishes to expand the time which he has
custody of the child to a more equal schedule than currently exists.
ig. The minor child is now approximately 41/2 years old and it would be in the child's
best interest to be able to spend more time with her father.
14. Each parent whose rights to the child has not been terminated and the person
who has physical custody of the child has been named as a party to this action. All other
persons, named below, who are known to have or claim a right of custody or visitation of the
child has been given notice of the pendency of this action and their right to intervene: None.
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Petitioner, Gregory C. Follett, respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to grant his Petition to reconference the above matter for failure of the
Plaintiff to serve the Defendant with notice of the hearing and grant his petition for shared
legal custody and equal shared physical custody of the child.
Respectfully submitted,
