TRITT, DEFENDANT IN CUSTODY BAYLEY, J., December 9, 1994:-- At a hearing on this custody case on November 30, 1994, the evidence was as follows, Jeanne M, Tritt, age 27, and Ronald L. Tritt, age 31, are the parents of Jason Tritt, born July 1, 1986, and Ambyr Tritt, born November 13, 1988, The parents were married on March 29, 1986, and separated In August 1994, Elght-year-old Jason Is In second garde, and slx-year-old Ambyr Is In afternoon kindergarten, at the Oak Flat Elementary School In the Big Spring School District. Both are In good health, The father Is a dairy farmer and the mother a factory worker, They are both high school graduates, They rented a 143 acre farm eight years ago, a few months after Jason was born, The father continues to live In the marital residence on that farm which Is In Newville, Cumberland County, Each child has a bedroom In that home, The mother Is temporarily living In the home of her brother, Robbie, age 29, In Pleasant Hall, Franklin County, At that three.bedroom residence, Jason has his own bedroom, The mother sleeps in Ambyr's room, except every other weekend when the brother's daughter visits and stays In Ambyr's room, The mother sleeps on a couch during those visits, The mother did not work outside of the home for six months after Jason was 94.3767 CIVIL TERM born, She then started factory work at GS Electrlo, A cousin cared for Jason while she worked, The mother was laid off just before Ambyr was born, She started caring for three other children In her home when Ambyr was about four months old, She continued that child care work until October of 1993, when she started factory work at General Mills, She worked four days a week: three twelve hour days and one six hour day, When she worked, the children were always cared for by a family member other than the father, The mother has since changed employment to the Carlisle Tire and Rubber Company, She now works on three cycles, She works one cycle of seven days with two days off, on shifts of either 2:30 p,m, to 10:30 p,m" or 10:30 p,m, to 6:30 a,m, Then she repeats that cycle, The shifts do not change within each cycle, although they may change between the cycles, The mother theu works five days from 6:30 a,m, to 2:30 p,m, with five days off, after which she starts the three cycles again, There Is no dispute that the mother has been the primary caretaker of the children, The mother's complaints about the father spending too much time working on the farm and not enough time with his family are the root-cause of the marital breakup, The parties had a trial separation from April through June, 1994, when the father moved out of the marital home, He continued to work on the farm during that period and did see the children, He started living In the marital residence again In June but the marriage was not salvageable from the mother's point of view, so she separated In August. She testified she would have stayed In the marital residence If .2. 94.3767 CIVIL TERM the father had not moved back, The father testified that for years he did spend most of his time working seven days a week from early morning until late at night, with little time for his children, He stated that finances were extremely tight In that he and his wile had started out with nothing, It took five years to pay for the purchase of his cows, and until this year to retire some other substantial debt lor equipment. The family seldom went places because of the hours he worked and the fact that they had little money, The father testified that he wanted to spend more time with his family, but the debt load was always on his mind, Since early 1994, the lather has taken more Interest In and responsibility for the children, which the mother acknowledges, The father has given up cultivating 75 additional acres that he rented In order to grow crops to support his dairy herd, He has stopped working late at night, and on Sundays except for two mllklngs, Following their separation, the parents made a temporary agreement pending litigation of this custody case, The father has the children lrom 6:00 p,m, each Saturday until 6:00 p,m, each Wednesday, and the mother has them from 6:00 p,m, each Wednesday until 6:00 p,m, each Saturday. When a conciliation conference did not produce an agreement, that schedule was entered as a temporary order on September 26, When the lather has the children each Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he gets them off to school on a bus and meets them when they come home on the school bus, The children spend a good bit 01 time with him In the barn .3- 94.3767 CIVIL TERM while he works the remainder of the day, normally unlll 8:00 p,m, He takes them to Sl'nday school on most Sundays, and they have dinner at his mother's on Sundays, On the Thursdays and Fridays each week when the mother has the children and they go to school, the children get on a school bus and come home on a bus from their maternal grandmother's residence In Newville, That house Is about sixteen miles from where the mother lives In Pleasant Hall. When the mother works 2:30 p,m, to 10:30 p,m" she puts both of the children on the school bus, The children stay with their grandmother when they arrive home, When the mother works 10:30 p,m. until 6:30 a,m" she goes to her mothers In the morning after work, She puts Jason on the bus and Ambyr on the bus for afternoon kindergarten, The mother gets both children from the bus after school. When the mother works 6:30 a,m, to 2:30 p,m" the grandmother puts Jason on the bus In the morning and Ambyr on the bus In the afternoon, The mother picks them up from the bus when they come home after school, which Is always at about 4:00 p,m, When the children are with the father on school days, they use a different bus that stops at the farm, The mother plans to move Into the Big Spring School District as soon as she finds adequate, affordable accommodations, She Is earning $200 a week, t However, even when she moves, she stili plans, because of her work schedule, to use her mother for child care and her mother's residence as the plck.up and drop.off point 1, The family Is without medical Insurance, The father used to carry medical Insurance but dropped It because of finances, In January 1995, medical Insurance for the mother and children will become available through her employer, .4. 94.3767 CIVIL TERM for the school bus. Both parents seek primary physical custody of Jason and Ambyr, In establlshlno a custody order, the test Is what Is In the best Interest and welfare of the children, ~,529 Pa, 198 (1992), Positive weight should be given to the primary care provider, ~,393 Pa, Super, 256 (1990), The work schedules of both parents make It difficult to adequately provide the care the children need without the assistance of others, The mother has a good arrangement with her mother to fill In those gaps, The father, who has Just recently begun devoting any considerable time to the children, always has to work long hours on the farm, even when the children are under his direct care, Although It Involves some travel between the mother's home and the home of her mother, the stable care and direction the children need during the school week Is best being provided through that arrangements, We are satisfied that the overall care the children need can best be provided by the mother, who has been their primary care provider, Thus, we are satisfied that the mother should have primary physical custody of Jason and Ambyr, The mother's temporary living arrangements, however, cause us to delay the start of such an award, Since the mother Is living In her brother's home In Franklin County, starting her primary physical custody now will mean the children will no longer be legally able to attend the Big Spring School District, at least without a tuition payment which this family cannot afford, Since these young children have obviously been affected by their parent's recent separation, and since they have .5. 94.3767 CIVIL TERM gotten a good start Into this school yoar, we do not believe It Is In their best Interest to enter an order that could result In a change of schools while they are In their current grade, Furthermore, the mother has no plans to send the children to school In the district where she Is now living, Therefore, we will malntaln the current shared custody arrangement during this school year unlllthe mother establishes a residence In the Big Spring School District. If and when the mother obtains primary physical custody, we will provide the father temporary physical custody on alternate weekends, and at times during the mother's weekends If she Is working, There Is no reason why the children should be with an alternate care provider during those weekends when the father can be cementing a strong relationship with them, which Is In their best Interests, During each summer school vacation period, we will provide the parents with alternate weells of temporary physical custody, ~ AND NOW, this q ~ day of December, 1994, IT 18 ORDERED: (1) The temporary order of September 26, 1994, Is vacated and replaced with this order, (2) Jeanne M, Tritt and Ronald L. Tritt shall have shared legal custody of Jason Tritt, born July 1, 1966, and Ambyr Tritt, born November 13, 1966, (3) Until the mother establishes a residence in the Big Spring School District during this school year whereby the children will not have to Change schools, the mother and father shall have shared physical custody of Jason and Ambyr, The .6. 94-3767 CIVIL TERM father shall have the children from 6:00 p,m, each Saturday until 6:00 p,m, each Wednesday, and the mother shall have them from 6:00 p,m, each Wednesday until 6:00 p,m, each Saturday, (4) The mother shall have primary physical custody of Jason and Ambyr If, during this school year, she establishes a residence In the Big Spring School District that will allow the children to complete the school year In their current school. If that occurs, the father shall have temporary physical custody on alternate weekends from Friday evening at 6:00 p,m, until Sunday evening at 6:00 p,m" or until Monday evening at 6:00 p,m, If Monday Is a school holiday, If the mother Is working on any of her alternate weekends, the father shall have the children during any time she Is working If he makes arrangements with her at least two days before, The mother shall keep the father advised, In advance, of her work schedule, (5) During summer school vacations, the parents shall each have Jason and Ambyr for alternating weeks, (6) The mother and father shall make special arrangements during the Christmas season so that each have the children for some period during that time. (7) If the mother does not move Into the Big Spring School District by the start of the 1995.96 school year, and stili seeks primary physical custody by that time, a further hearing before this court will be scheduled upon her request. .7- 94-3767 CIVIL TERM Robert L O'Brien, Esquire For Plaintiff Thomas J, Williams, Esquire For Defendant :saa ., .B.

Tritt graduated in the class of 1985 aOO married Ronald L. Tritt, the follONing year. lIer husband is a dairy farmer, who leases the fann. Mrs. Tritt was the primary caretaker of the children from their birth until such time as the father wanted her to take 8l11Jloyment outside of the home. After the mother took 8l11Jloyment outside the home, her husband still expected her to maintain the household, as well as to arrange for child care while she was at work, as he did not want to watch the children. Accordingly, the mother was forced to make aOO pay for child care arrangements when she took her job. 'ilie cause of the parties' separation and perding divorce, was the father's refusal to spend time with her and the children. Prior to the parties' separation, the father shCMed no interest or inclination to maintain a close relationship with his children. On April 3, 1994, the father IT'OVed from the family's residence. On June 25, 1994, he IT'OVed back in and announced that he was putting his wife out of the home. 'ilia father attenqJted to force her out of the home without the children in an effort to coerce her back into his failed marriage. 'ilie mother, for the past year, had an application pending at Carlisle Tire aOO Rubber. lIer eJ1tlloyment at General Mills was through a t8l11JOrary labor service organization aOO provided no job guaranties or additional benefits. In rnid- September, 1994, she was hira:) at Carlisle Tire aOO Rubber aOO works a alternating week schedule. Mrs. Tritt, at the present tilOO, is not OOO11llting with her brother, bocaUEG of a different time frame for starting aOO erding her shift. She will testify as to the situation in her home in reference to caring for the children, as well as the child care arrangements. 'I1le mother denies any moral wrongdoing of any nature in referenoe to the children. She will testify that contrary to the father's allegations, she did not frequently stay out late at night, but to the contrary, the father was the one, who on a regular basis, would stay out at bars late into the evening. 'lhe ITOther ard her family have not IItteJ1pted to ingratiate themselves with the children by wying them toys. 'lhe problem arose when the father would not permit the mother to have any of the children's toys aOO playthings when he forced her out of the haoo. In an effort to obtain some of these items, the mother requested a special relief hearing. 'lhe court did not direct the father to give any of these items to the rother, 60 she Is in the process of providing playthings for the dlildren as her budget permits. 'lhe rother denies tilat she is critical of the father in front of the children aOO, in fact, suggests that the father is at fault.. 'I1le mother believes that the best interest aOO welfare of the children will be served by grantirg hor primary physical custody. She intends to call as witnesses, her brother, Rob ShOff, who lived with the family for a lengthy period of time ard who has observed each parent's relationship with the children. She will call her rother, Darbara Shoff, in reference to child care abilities aoo her grardmother, (Jetty IlatIer, who will testify liB to her observations of tile father placing the dlildren in an unsafe position in his farming operation.
