2. The Plaintiff/Respondent thereto is AMY R. KOCH, an adult individual, residing at
513 Hogestown Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17050, having just
moved out of the marital home on or about December 12, 2006, and moving into her boyfriend's
home and, more importantly, removing the minor child out of Dauphin County.

2006, and according to the Certificate of Service sent a copy to the Petitioner herein on that same
date, seeking custody of the minor child, Kayla E. Koch, date of birth August 12, 2000.
4. Pursuant to a phone call between counsel on December 14, counsel for the Plaintiff
advised undersigned counsel that he would file the complaint in Cumberland County and that
status quo would remain with the parties.
5. Counsel did not receive notice of a custody conciliation to be held in Cumberland
County before Dawn Sunday, Esquire, currently scheduled for January 17, 2007, or receive a
copy of the custody complaint until after the Support Conference in Dauphin County on January
8, 2007, despite opposing counsel having spoken to her on December 14, 2006.
6. Undersigned counsel received a copy of the notice of the conciliation hearing from her
client during a meeting on January 3, 2007.
7. The minor child attended Kindergarten at South Side Elementary in the Central
Dauphin School District until Christmas break, 2006.
8. It was the parties' understanding that the Plaintiff would not remove the child from

six year old child that she had been enrolled into the Cumberland Valley School District and now

of the above captioned case, and permit Petitioner to file the above case in Dauphin County.

basis. The Father may have additional periods of custody with the Child during the weeks as arranged

exchanges at the babysitter's residence.
3. The parties shall share having custody of the Child on holidays as follows:
A. Easter: Each parent shall be entitled to have custody of the Child for a period of

4. The parties shall contact the Child's counselor to obtain guidance on the issue of whether a
possible change in the Child's school enrollment back to her prior school district would be beneficial

shall contact the other parent to offer the opportunity to provide care during the custodial parent's
period of unavailability before contacting third party caregivers.
6. The non-custodial parent shall be entitled to have liberal and reasonable telephone contact

with the Child comply with this provision.
