PETITION FOR
RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
NOW comes the plaintiff, by his attorney, Harold S, Irwin, III, Esquire, and
presents this petition for a rule to show cause, representing as follows:
1, On agreement of the parties, the Court entered an order dated August 2,
1994, providing for joint custody of the parties minor children,
2, On April 15, 1998, plaintiff filed a petition for modification of the current
custody order, seeking primary physical custody of the children,
3, A conciliation conference was held on June 26, 1998 during which the
parties were.unable to settle this matter. However, during the conference, defendant's
counsel maintained that plaintiffs counsel, Daniel DeArment, Esquire, of the law firm of
Irwin, McKnight & Hughes, had a conflict of interest in that his firm previously
represented the defendant's present husband,
4. On or about July 6, 1998, the Court entered an order setting August 27,
1998 as the date for a hearing regarding the requested modification of custody,

5. Plaintiff was unable to immediately secure alternate counsel, but did
obtain his file from Attorney DeArment and retain counsel on or about July 28, 1998.
6. Plaintiff desires to have a child custody evaluation performed to aid the
parties and the Court in making an appropriate decision in this matter and plaintiff is
prepared to pay the costs thereof,
7. Plaintiff's counsel has discussed this matter with defendant's counsel,
who indicated that she had previously discussed this with defendant but that defendant
was unable to pay any of the costs of such an evaluation though did not object to one
being performed at that lime,
8, Defendant's counsel suggested two psychologists for such an evaluation
and plaintiff is in agreement with using either of these two professionals, has contacted
both offices for an estimate of the costs involved and is prepared to pay such costs in
full.
9, The parties require a continuance of the hearing set for August 27, 1998,
in order to give them adequate time for the evaluations to be performed,
10. Defendant will suffer no harm or prejudice as the result of a continuance
as the present order in effect since August, 1994 will remain in effect during the period
of the continuance and custody evaluation,
11. Defendant's counsel has been unable to contact defendant for specific
permission to agree to a continuance for this purpose and owing to the time constraints
involved, plaintiff seeks a rule to show cause why such a continuance should not be
granted, returnable in as timely a manner as the Court may deem sufficient.
WHEREFORE, defendant requests that the Court grant a continuance in this
case, set a new date and time for a hearing in this matter and continue the existing
temporary protective order in full force and effect in the meantime,

DEFENDANT'S PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY ORDER
Deborah L, Gordon, by her attorneys, The Family Law Clinic, respectfully represenl:i
that:
1. The Defendant, Petitioner herein, is Deborah L, Gordon, The Plaintiff, Respondent herein, is Scott

3. The Custody Order gave the parties shared legal and physical custody of their two minor children,
Corynne Victoria Romberger, born February 19, 1988, and Scott Cody Romberger, born November 9, 1989.
Under this Order the parties have alternating weeks of custody.
4. On April 13, 1998, Respondent filed a Petition For Modification of Custody Order asking the Court
to award him primary physical custody. A custody conciliation was held on June 26, 1998 and a hearing is
scheduled for August 27, 1998 at 9:30 a.m, with Judge Kevin A. Hess.
5. This Order of August 2, 1994 should be modified because there has been a substantial change in
circumstances, to wit:
a) Petitioner resigned from her job effective June I, 1998 and is now home through the day and
able to take care of the children.
b) Petitioner and her husband, Theodore Gordon III, have a minor child, Devon Gordon, born
10/1/95, with whom Cody and Corynne have a close and loving relationship.
c) The interests of the children would be better served if the present Custody Order were
.
modified to give Petitioner primary physical custody of the children.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner, Deborah L. Gordon, respectfully requests that the existing Custody
Order be modified to give her primary physical custody of the minor children,
Respectfully Submitted,
