ASHLEIGH E. ANGLEMEYER, CIVIL ACTION -LAW
Defendant IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY STIPULATION
AND NOW, this day of December, 2006, the Plaintiff, Eric J. Nearhoof, and
the Defendant, Ashleigh E. Anglemeyer, stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS, Eric J. Nearhoof, the Plaintiff in this matter, hereinafter referred to as
"Father'", resides at 5236 Winding Way, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania; and
WHEREAS, Ashleigh E. Anglemeyer, the Defendant in this matter, hereinafter referred
to as "Mother", resides at 117 Maple Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania;
and
WHEREAS, the parties are the parents of one minor child, namely, Kaileigh Elizabeth
Nearhoof, born January 28, 1998; and
WHEREAS, Father is represented by James Neaon, Esquire, of Nealon, Gover, and
Perry, LLP; and
WHEREAS, Mother is represented by Courtney L. Kishel, Esquire and the law firm of
James, Smith, Dietterick & Connelly; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the parties herein to enter into the following Custody
Stipulation;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree as follows:
1. LEGAL CUSTODY: The parties shall enjoy shared legal custody of the minor
child. Shared legal custody means the right of both parties to control and to jointly make
decisions of importance in the lives of their child including education, medical and religious
decisions. Both parents shall be entitled to equal access to the child's school records, medical
records, dental records and other important information. Each party agrees not to impair the
other party's rights to shared legal custody of the minor child. Each party agrees not to attempt
to alienate the affections of the child from the other party. Each party shall notify the other of
any extracurricular activities or circumstances concerning the child that could reasonable be
expected to be the concern of the other or interfere with their periods of physical custody.
Notwithstanding the fact that both parents have shared legal custody, non-major
decisions involving the child's day to day living shall be made by the parent then having
custody, and shall be consistent with other provisions of this Stipulation. With regard to any
emergency decisions which must be made, the party having physical custody of the child at the
time of the emergency shall be permitted to make any immediate decisions necessary. However,
that party shall inform the other of the emergency and consult the other party as soon as possible.
I PHYSICAL CUSTODY: Primary custody of the child shall be with Mother.
Father shall have periods of partial physical custody as deemed to be in the child's best interest
by the child's therapist, Shanen Turk-Geller, LSW of Reigler Sheinvold & Associates, and as
mutually agreed upon by the parties. At the present time, the parties understand that Father's
custody periods will be supervised by the child's therapist, and Father agrees that he will
continue to participate in the counseling sessions as needed and recommended by the therapist.
It is the intended goal of the parties that Father gradually increase custodial time with the minor
child, so that he will ultimately have periods of partial custody every other weekend. However,
both parties agree to cooperate with the child's therapist and rely on her expertise to determine
when that will occur. Father's partial custody shall be in accordance with the restrictions set for
by Ms. Geller, including but not limited to supervised visits at her office, if necessary.
3. HOLIDAYS: The parties shall decide who shall have custody of the minor child
during the following major holidays: Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and
Thanksgiving.
4. CHRISTMAS. The Christmas holiday shall be divided each year so that Mother
has custody of the minor child from 12:00 p.m. on December 24t" through 12:00 p.m. on
December 25t". Father shall have custody of the minor child from 12:00 p.m. on December 25t"
through 12:00 p.m. on December 26t", upon approval of the child's therapist.
5. MOTHER'S DAY AND FATHER'S DAY: Mother shall have custody of the
child on Mother's Day, and Father shall have custody of the child on Father's Day, regardless of
the regular custody schedule. The custodial period pursuant to this paragraph shall commence at
3:00 p.m. on Saturday evening before the holiday, and continue through 3:00 p.m. on the
holiday.
6. VACATION: Once the child's therapist approves Father's alternating weekend
custodial arrangement as outlined in paragraph 2 herein, each party shall be entitled to one week
summer vacation each year. The party electing the week ot'vacation shall provided written
notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days in advance. The party to first select their
vacation shall be entitled to the preference. A vacation shall not interfere with the other party's
scheduled holidays, as outlined herein.
T TRANSPORTATION: The parties shall share in transportation. The party
receiving custody shall provide the transportation to their respective home. Each party shall
ensure that the child is properly secured in a seatbelt when transporting her. The non-
transporting party shall ensure that the child is prepared for the custodial exchange in a timely
manner.
8. PRIORITY OF CUSTODIAL SCHEDULES: The periods of custody for the
holidays, vacations or other special days set forth in this Stipulation shall take precedence over
the normal custody schedule. Holidays and special days shall take precedent over vacations.
9. NO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES OR ALCHOLIC BEVERAGES:
During any periods of custody or visitation, the parties to this Stipulation shall not possess or use
controlled substances or consume alcoholic beverages to the point of intoxication. The parties
shall likewise assure, to the extent possible, that other household members and guests comply
with this prohibition.
10. SMOKING PROHIBITED: Neither party shall smoke cigarettes or other
tobacco products, or allow others to smoke in the presence of the child.
11. TELEPHONE CONTACT: Each party is entitled to reasonable telephone or e-
mail contact with the child when they are in the other party's custody. The parties shall ensure
that the other party has the current contact information to ensure communication.
112. RELOCATION: Neither party shall relocate from their current address, if such
relocation will necessitate a change in the custody schedule as set forth in this Stipulation, or if
the relocation would be to a location in excess of 50 miles from the other party's then current
address unless (a) written notice is given to the other party not less than 60 days before the
planned relocation; and (b) the other party either consents in writing to the relocation of the other
party, or there is an Order of Court permitting said relocation. In the event of an intended
relocation, either party may petition the Court for a modification of the terms of this Custody
Stipulation by tiling a Petition to Modify Custody with the Prothonotary's Office in Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
13. DEROGATORY REMARKS: Each party shall refrain from making derogatory
comments about the other party in the presence of the child, and to the extent possible, shall
prevent third parties from doing the same.
14. COUNSELING: The parties have reached this stipulation under the
understanding that the child will continue to receive counseling with Shanen Turk-Geller, ILSW
at Reigler Sheinvold & Associates, until such time as either the professional deems the sessions
unnecessary, or the parties mutually agree to terminate the counseling sessions. The parties
agree to assist the child's psychologists, therapists and/or counselors in any way necessary,
including but not limited to attend counseling sessions if recommended, in order to ensure that
the child receives the treatment that is in her best interest, and aids in fostering healthy parental
relationships.
15. EXCHANGE OF CONTACT INFORMATION: If either party has the child
overnight at a place other than the then custodian's primary residence, that party will give the
non-custodian party the address and telephone number where the child intends to spend the
night.
16. FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS: Each party agrees to cooperate in assisting
their child to maintain and foster their friendships, encourage participation in extracurricular
activities, and other special interests regardless of which household the child may be residing.
17. MODIFICATION OF TERMS: The parties are free to modify the terms of this
Stipulation so long as both parties are in complete agreement to the new terms. In the event that
one party does not consent to a change in the Stipulation, the Stipulation as it is written herein.
shall prevail.
18. FINAL ORDER: The parties fully intend to comply the terms of this Stipulation
as their custody agreement, and abide by said stipulation as an Order of Court. The parties each
agree to waive their right to have the pending custody matter reviewed by a custody conciliator
and/or by a judge of the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto set their hands and seals on the dates of
their acknowl

ASHLEIGH ELIZABETH ANGLEMEYER :
CIVIL ACTION -CUSTODY
Defendant
PETITION TO MODIFY CUSTODY
1. The Plaintiff is Eric Jay Nearhoof, who currently resides at the Dauphin County
Prison, 501 Mall Road Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17111.
Prior to his incarceration on March 5, 2009, Plaintiff resided at 1030 Wooded
Pond Drive, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17111.
2. The Defendant is Ashleigh Elizabeth Anglemeyer, who currently resides at 117
Maple Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17050.
3. Defendant seeks primary physical custody and sole legal custody of the following
child:
Name Present Residence Age
Kaileigh E. Nearhoof 117 Maple Drive, Mechanicsburg, PA 11
4. The child was born out of wedlock.
5
6.
7.
8.
Defendant has shared legal custody and primary physical custody of Kaileigh
pursuant to an Order of Court dated December 21, 2006, a copy of which is attached
hereto and is marked as Exhibit "A.
During the past four (4) years, the child has resided with the following persons and
at the following addresses:
Persons Address Dates
Defendant, Stepfather 117 Maple Drive May 2006 to present
and Brother Mechanicsburg, PA
Defendant, Stepfather 2720 Boas Street November 2004 to May 2006
and Brother Harrisburg, PA
Defendant & Stepfather 625 Linden Road May 2003 to November 2004
Hershey, PA
Defendant seeks to modify the Custody Order to award her sole legal custody and
primary physical custody of Kaileigh and supervised visitation for Plaintiff.
The best interest and permanent welfare of Kaileigh will be served by modifying
the present Custody Order and granting Defendant the relief she requests because:
a. Plaintiff has been on probation since 2004 for his conviction on theft charges;
b. On February 15, 2009, Plaintiff s current wife, Maria Tsirigotis, sent a text
message to Defendant advising her that Plaintiff would not be able to effect
his period of partial physical custody with Kaileigh because "he was in New
Jersey;"
C. Contrary to his claims that he was in "New Jersey" on February 15, 2009,
Plaintiff was incarcerated at the Lancaster County prison due to theft by
deception charges filed against him by the Lancaster District Attorney's
Office. Defendant did not find this out until March 3, 2009;
d. On March 5, 2009, Plaintiff was arrested in Dauphin County for violating his
parole. Specifically, Plaintiff's parole violation occurred because Plaintiff
was charged with theft by deception by his former employer Sprint
Telephone;
e. Upon information and belief, Defendant fears that Plaintiff may have
involved Kaileigh (completely unbeknownst to her or Defendant at the time)
in his unlawful conduct;
f. Since his arrest, Plaintiff has been a resident of the Dauphin County Prison
where he will remain at least until his parole violation hearing. It is unclear
right now whether or not Plaintiff will remain incarcerated pending the trial
on the most recently filed criminal charges against him;
g. Immediately following his arrest on March 5, 2009, Plaintiff's wife, Maria
Tsirigotis began a campaign of calling and texting Defendant and Kaileigh to
tell them that "Plaintiff did nothing wrong," and that "Kaileigh still needed to
come to their house." As of the date of the filing of this Petition, Plaintiff's
wife continues to try and communicate with Kaileigh to tell her that "Plaintiff
has done nothing wrong;"
h. Kaileigh is understandably having a very difficult time dealing with the fact
that her father was arrested (this is compounded by the fact that the parties
had never told her that Plaintiff was serving probation for other crimes) and
the repeated attempts by Plaintiff's wife to communicate with Kaileigh to tell
her that Plaintiff "has not done anything wrong" and that Plaintiff's
"employer told him to [commit the crime]" are very upsetting and confusing
to Kaileigh. These messages are also sending a very wrong message to
Kaileigh about right and wrong and the consequences of exercising poor
judgment;
i. Despite the fact that Plaintiff's wife has no legal rights whatsoever when it
comes to Kaileigh, Plaintiff's wife has contacted Kaileigh's therapist and
other family members in an attempt to communicate with Kaileigh;
j. Prior to his recent arrest, Plaintiff's wife attempted to exercise "legal
custody" over Kaileigh by scheduling appointments for Kaileigh with
Kaileigh's therapist without consulting with Defendant or obtaining
Defendant's consent;
k. Defendant has always been the Kaileigh's primary caregiver;
1. Kaileigh looks to Defendant as a constant source of love, stability and
support;
M. Defendant has at all times relevant placed the physical, emotional, and
spiritual needs of Kaileigh ahead of her own;
n. During the past several years, Plaintiff has spent little, if any, quality time
with Kaileigh;
o. Maintaining primary physical custody with Plaintiff and modifying the
current Order to give Defendant sole legal custody of Kaileigh and limit
Plaintiff's contact with Kaileigh to supervised settings will maintain the
continuity, stability and certainty in Kaileigh's life and further insure that
Kaileigh will not be exposed to or become an unwitting participant in
Plaintiff's unlawful actions. Moreover, granting the relief requested will
further insure that neither Plaintiff nor his wife will be in a position to
communicate to Kaileigh that what Plaintiff has done is not unlawful or that
he should not be held accountable for his poor judgment.
4. Each parent whose parental rights to the child has not been terminated and the person
who has physical custody of the child have been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Ashleigh E. Anglemeyer, respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court grant her sole legal custody, primary physical of the parties' minor child, Kaileigh;
modify the current custody Order so that Plaintiff s periods of partial physical custody are limited to
supervised contact; and further award Defendant all such other relief as is proper and just.
Respectfully submitted,

WHEREAS, Mother is represented by Courtney L. Kishel, Esquire and the law firm of
James, Smith, Dietterick & Connelly; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the parties herein to enter into the following Custody
Stipulation;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree as follows:
LEGAL CUSTODY: The parties shall enjoy shared legal custody of the minor
child. Shared legal custody means the right of both parties to control and to jointly make
decisions of importance in the lives of their child including education, medical and religious
decisions. Both parents shall be entitled to equal access to the child's school records, medical
records, dental records and other important information. Each party agrees not to impair the
other party's rights to shared legal custody of the minor child. Each party agrees not to attempt
to alienate the affections of the child from the other party. Each party shall notify the other of
any extracurricular activities or circumstances concerning the child that could reasonable be
expected to be the concern of the other or interfere with their periods of physical custody.
Notwithstanding the fact that both parents have shared legal custody, non-major
decisions involving the child's day to day living shall be made by the parent then having
custody, and shall be consistent with other provisions of this Stipulation. With regard to any
emergency decisions which must be made, the party having physical custody of the child at the
time of the emergency shall be permitted to make any immediate decisions necessary. However,
that party shall inform the other of the emergency and consult the other party as soon as possible.
2. PHYSICAL CUSTODY: Primary custody of the child shall be with Mother.
Father shall have periods of partial physical custody as deemed to be in the child's best interest
by the child's therapist, Shanen Turk-Geller, LSW of Reigler Sheinvold & Associates, and as
mutually agreed upon by the parties. At the present time, the parties understand that Father's
custody periods will be supervised by the child's therapist, and Father agrees that he will
continue to participate in the counseling sessions as needed and recommended by the therapist.
It is the intended goal of the parties that Father gradually increase custodial time with the minor
child, so that he will ultimately have periods of partial custody every other weekend. However,
both parties agree to cooperate with the child's therapist and rely on her expertise to determine
when that will occur. Father's partial custody shall be in accordance with the restrictions set for
by Ms. Geller, including but not limited to supervised visits at her office, if necessary.
3. HOLIDAYS: The parties shall decide who shall have custody of the minor child
during the following major holidays: Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and
Thanksgiving.
4. CHRISTMAS. The Christmas holiday shall be divided each year so that Mother
has custody of the minor child from 12:00 p.m. on December 24th through 12:00 p.m. on
December 25th. Father shall have custody of the minor child from 12:00 p.m. on December 25`'
through 12:00 p.m. on December 26th, upon approval of the child's therapist.
5. MOTHER'S DAY AND FATHER'S DAY: Mother shall have custody of the
child on Mother's Day, and Father shall have custody of the child on Father's Day, regardless of
the regular custody schedule. The custodial period pursuant to this paragraph shall commence at
3:00 p.m. on Saturday evening before the holiday, and continue through 3:00 p.m. on the
holiday.
6. VACATION: Once the child's therapist approves Father's alternating weekend
custodial arrangement as outlined in paragraph 2 herein, each party shall be entitled to one week
summer vacation each year. The party electing the week of vacation shall provided written.
notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days in advance. The party to first select their
vacation shall be entitled to the preference. A vacation shall not interfere with the other party's
scheduled holidays, as outlined herein.
7. TRANSPORTATION: The parties shall share in transportation. The party
receiving custody shall provide the transportation to their respective home. Each party shall
ensure that the child is properly secured in a seatbelt when transporting her. The non-
transporting party shall ensure that the child is prepared for the custodial exchange in a timely
manner.
8. PRIORITY OF CUSTODIAL SCHEDULES: The periods of custody for the
holidays, vacations or other special days set forth in this Stipulation shall take precedence over
the normal custody schedule. Holidays and special days shall take precedent over vacations.

controlled substances or consume alcoholic beverages to the point of intoxication. The parties
shall likewise assure, to the extent possible, that other household members and guests comply

relocation will necessitate a change in the custody schedule as set forth in this Stipulation, or if
the relocation would be to a location in excess of 50 miles from the other party's then current
address unless (a) written notice is given to the other party not less than 60 days before the
planned relocation; and (b) the other party either consents in writiniz to the relocation of the other
party, or there is an Order of Court permitting said relocation. In the event of an intended

unnecessary, or the parties mutually agree to terminate the counseling sessions. The parties
agree to assist the child's psychologists, therapists and/or counselors in any way necessary,
including but not limited to attend counseling sessions if recommended, in order to ensure that
the child receives the treatment that is in her best interest, and aids in fostering healthy parental
relationships.

their child to maintain and foster their friendships, encourage participation in extracurricular
activities, and other special interests regardless of which household the child may be residing.
17. MODIFICATION OF TERMS: The parties are free to modify the terms of this
Stipulation so long as both parties are in complete agreement to the new terms. In the event that
one party does not consent to a change in the Stipulation, the Stipulation as it is written herein,
shall prevail.
18. FINAL ORDER: The parties fully intend to comply the terns of this Stipulation
as their custody agreement, and abide by said stipulation as an Order of Court. The parties each
agree to waive their right to have the pending custody matter reviewed by a custody conciliator
and/or by a judge of the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto set their hands and seals on the dates of

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 2006-6618
CUSTODY ACTION
PETITION OF TINA LEHMAN TO INTERVENE AND FOR
PERIODS OF PARTIAL CUSTODY
1. Petitioner, Tina Lehman ("Paternal Grandmother") is an adult individual who
currently resides at 268 Grandview Drive, Hummelstown, PA 17036.
2. Respondent, Eric J. Nearhoof ("Father") is an adult individual who currently is
incarcerated at the Dauphin County Prison.
3. Respondent, Ashleigh E. Anglemeyer ("Mother") is an adult individual who currently
resides at 117 Maple Drive, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
4. Father and Mother are the parents of one minor child, Kaileigh E. Nearhoof, 11.
5. On December 21, 2006, this Honorable Court approved a Custody Stipulation. The
Order provided that Mother and Father would share legal custody and Mother would
have primary physical custody. Father was to have periods of partial custody to be
expanded as recommended by the child's counselor, Shanen Turk-Geller.
6. The counselor did recommend that Father enjoy periods of partial custody. Until
recently, Father was exercising custody primarily on every other weekend and one
overnight per week.
7. Recently, Father was incarcerated on a probation violation.
8. Father's family, including Paternal Grandmother and his wife, Maria Tsirigotis, have
been an active and positive influence on Kaileigh. In addition, Paternal Grandmother
has another child, Taylin Lehman, who is extremely close to Kaileigh.
9. Mother has cut off all contact between Kaileigh and Father's family. Mother has
intercepted mailings from Father to Kaileigh in an effort to isolate Kaileigh and
alienate her from Father and his family.
10. Kaileigh has expressed a strong desire to maintain contact with Father's family.
Kaileigh has contacted her counselor for assistance in re-establishing contact with
Father's family.
11. Paternal Grandmother has standing to intervene in the instant action and to seek
periods of partial custody.
12. The best interest and permanent welfare of the minor child would be served by
granting the requested relief.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Tina Lehman, urges This Honorable Court to permit her to
intervene in the instant action and to award her periods of partial custody.
