10. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in other
litigation concerning the custody of the children in this or another court.
11. The Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the children
pending in any court of this Commonwealth.
12. Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical
custody of the children or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to the children.
13. The best interest and permanent welfare of the children will be served by granting the
relief requested because this will confirm the status quo for the children. A binding schedule needs
to be established. Since Father has relocated tothe house of his girlfriend which is located only
blocks away, Father enters the marital home as he desires and has failed to abide by the informal
custody arrangement created for the youngest child. The eldest child refuses to visit with his Father
at his new address. Mother believes it is in the best interest of the children to have a fixed schedule
3
under which the children shall see their Father and to provide for established involvement for him in
their activities. Mother would also like to prohibit contact with Father's girlfriend since same is
confusing and detrimental for the children. Excessive alcohol is used at the Defendant's house and
Mother would also like to prohibit such acts as Father's paramour continued efforts to alienate the
children from her through words and actions. Mother has no current telephone access to the children
at Father's home. Plaintiff can continue to provide a stable, loving environment for her children.
14. Each parent whose parental rights to the children have not been terminated and the
person who has physical custody of the children have been named as parties to this action.
WItEREFORE, the Plaintiffrequests the Court confirm shared legal and physical custody
of the children with Plaintiff.
