NO. 02-3518
CIVIL ACTION - CUSTODY
MOTION FOR COURT APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODY EVALUATOR
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff Constantine Touloumes, by and through his attorneys,
Smigel, Anderson & Sacks, and files this Motion for Court Appointment of Custody Evaluator
and in support thereof avers as follows:
Plaintiff is Constantine Touloumes, who resides at 3 West Pine Street, Mount
Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant is Megan Touloumes, who resides at 1159 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are the parents of Marianna Constantine Touloumes, born April 19,
1999.
4. Plaintiff filed a Petition for Civil Contempt for Disobedience of a Custody Order
on February 18, 2004, as a result of which the parties and their counsel attended a custody
conciliation with Dawn Sunday, Esquire on April 7, 2004.
At the custody conciliation, the parties agreed to participate in a custody
evaluation to be performed by a professional selected by agreement between the parties. A true
and correct copy of the April 14, 2004 Order of Court is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
6. The parties agreed that the appropriate evaluator must be a licensed psychologist
who can perform psychological testing as part of the evaluation.
The parties did not reach an agreement regarding payment of the cost for the
custody evaluation, but planned to reach an agreement before the evaluation began.
8. The parties have been unable to agree on either the professional to perform the
evaluation or the manner in which the costs will be divided.
9. Defendant will not agree to have the following evaluators conduct the evaluation
for the following reasons:
a. Vincent F. Berger, PhD - Defendant believes Dr. Berger has a connection
with Plaintiff's counsel's office.
b. Steven Lindenberg, EDD - Defendant's counsel was involved in an
unrelated licensing issue with respect to Dr. Lindenberg.
C. Kasey Shienvold, Psy.D. - Dr. Kasey Shienvold works in the same office
as Dr. Arnold Shienvold, who conducted mediation with the parties in the past and subsequently
disqualified himself from performing the custody evaluation. Although Dr. Kasey Shienvold has
agreed to perform the custody evaluation, Defendant believes it would be a conflict of interest
for him to do so.
10. Plaintiff will not agree to have Stanley Schneider, EDD or Pauline Wallin, PhD
conduct the evaluation based on Plaintiff s counsel's dissatisfaction with the quality of past
evaluations and reports from those evaluators.
11. Henry Weeks, PhD is available and qualified to conduct the custody evaluation.
A copy of Dr. Weeks' C.V. is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
12. Plaintiff has no objection to having Dr. Weeks conduct the custody evaluation and
suggested Dr. Weeks to Defendant as the proposed evaluator.
13. Defendant will not agree to have Dr. Weeks perform the custody evaluation
because her counsel has not had him perform evaluations in the past, which is an inadequate
reason for her refusal.
14. Defendant has not provided any substantive reason for refusing to have Dr.
Weeks perform the evaluation.
15. It is in the child's best interest to have the Court appoint Dr. Weeks as the
evaluator so that the custody action can move forward and she can have stability in her life.
16. Although both parties agreed to participate in the custody evaluation, Defendant
has refused to split the cost of the evaluation equally between the parties.
17. Plaintiff has assumed large amounts of marital debt since the parties separated,
but Defendant has assumed virtually none of the marital debt.
18. Plaintiff's financial situation is not superior to Defendant's financial situation, so
the parties should share equally the cost of the evaluation.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Constantine Touloumes respectfully requests this Honorable
Court enter an Order directing that:
Henry Weeks, PhD be appointed to conduct the custody evaluation, including
psychological evaluation of the parties;
2. The parties equally share the cost of the entire custody evaluation, with each party
responsible for 50% of the total cost;
3. The parties make payment to Dr. Weeks within ten (10) days; and
4. Any other equitable relief this Court deems appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,

CIVIL ACTION - CUSTODY
PETITION FOR CIVIL CONTEMPT FOR DISOBEDIENCE OF CUSTODY ORDER
AND NOW, comes Petitioner Constantine Touloumes, by and through his attorneys,
Smigel, Anderson & Sacks, and avers as follows:
Petitioner is Constantine Touloumes ("Father"), who resides at 3 West Pine
Street, Mount Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent is Megan Touloumes ("Mother'), who resides at 1159 Harrisburg
Pike, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are the parents of Marianna Constantine Touloumes, born April 19,
1999.
4. On October 11, 2002, this Honorable Court entered an Order of Court giving the
parties shared legal custody of the minor child and giving Mother primary physical custody of
the minor child. A true and correct copy of that Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
On May 6, 2003, Father filed a Petition for Modification of a Custody Order with
this Honorable Court.
6. On June 25, 2003 the parties attended a custody conciliation conference with
Dawn Sunday, Esquire. The parties reached an agreement regarding custody of the minor child
as a result of the conference.
7, On July 11, 2003, pursuant to the parties' agreement, this Honorable Court
entered an Order of Court continuing the provisions of the Order dated October 11, 2002,
requiring the parties to attend mediation, and altering the schedule of Father's physical custody
of the minor child. A true and correct copy of that Order is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
8. Pursuant to the Order dated July 11, 2003, the patties attended three (3) mediation
sessions with Arnold Shienvold, Ph.D.
9. Despite the mediation attempts, Mother has repeatedly violated the terms of the
Orders of Court dated October 11, 2002 and July 11, 2003.
10. Paragraph 6 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as incorporated into the July
11, 2003 Order of Court, provides that " [i]n the event either party intends to remove the child
from his or her residence for an overnight period or longer, that party shall notify the other party
in advance of the telephone number where the Child can be contacted."
11. In violation of Paragraph 6 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as
incorporated into the July 11, 2003 Order of Court, Mother removes the child from the Carlisle
area overnight, sometimes for days at a time, with no prior notice to Father, without informing
Father where the child will be, without providing Father a telephone number where he can
contact the child, without informing Father when Mother will return with the child, and without
informing Father with whom the child will be spending her time.
12, Mother notified Father that she would be taking the child to Pittsburgh from July
4, 2003 through July 6, 2003 and provided a phone number where Father could reach the child.
Father called the phone number given at least three (3) times over the course of the weekend, but
Mother never returned his calls to allow him to speak with the child.
13. Mother notified Father that she would be taking the child to the beach for a week
beginning August 16, 2003. She told Father she did not know the phone number where the child
could be reached, but would provide the number when they arrived at their destination. Mother
left with the child on August 16, 2003 and did not call Father with the phone number until
August 20, 2003.
14. On October 9, 2003, Mother left a phone message for Father that she was taking
the child to Rhode Island for the weekend beginning October 10, 2003 and that she would call
Father when they reached their destination with the phone number where he could reach the
child. Mother never provided the phone number to Father. Father finally spoke to the child on
October 12, 2003 when he called her at Mother's home.
15. On January 2, 2004, Father called Mother's home to speak with the child.
Mother's mother informed him that Mother had taken the child to Pittsburgh for the weekend.
Mother did not inform Father in advance that she planned to take the child to Pittsburgh and did
not provide a telephone number where Father could reach the child.
16. On January 17, 2004 and January 18, 2004, Father called Mother's home to speak
with the child and left messages on the answering machine. On the evening of January 18, 2004,
the child called Father and told him she was in Pittsburgh. Mother did not inform Father in
advance that she planned to take the child to Pittsburgh and did not provide a telephone number
where Father could reach the child.
17. Paragraph 2 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as incorporated into the July
11, 2003 Order of Court, provides that "[e]ach parent shall be entitled to all records and
information pertaining to the Child including, but not limited to, school and medical records and
information."
18. In violation of Paragraph 2 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as
incorporated into the July 11, 2003 Order of Court, Mother arranged and took the child to a
doctor's appointment on January 16, 2004 without Father's knowledge or consent. Father only
learned of the child's visit to the doctor when the child told Father.
19. Paragraph 8 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as incorporated into the July
11, 2003 Order of Court, provides that "[n]either party shall do or say anything which may
estrange the Child from the other parent, injure the opinion of the Child as to the other parent, or
hamper the free and natural development of the Child's love and respect for the other parent."
20. In violation of Paragraph 8 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as
incorporated into the July 11, 2003 Order of Court, Mother has made and continues to make
repeated, intense, derogatory remarks about Father to the child.
21. Paragraph 8 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as incorporated into the July
11, 2003 Order of Court, further provides that "[b]oth parties shall ensure that third parties
having contact with the Child comply with this provision."
22. In violation of Paragraph 8 of the October 11, 2002 Order of Court, as
incorporated into the July 11, 2003 Order of Court, in Mother's presence, Mother's mother has
made and continues to make repeated, intense, derogatory remarks about Father to the child.
23. The child is being subjected to parent alienation syndrome as a result of the
repeated, intense, derogatory remarks made to her about Father.
24. Father is a fit parent.
25. Father works to support and encourage the child's positive relationship with
Mother and Mother's mother despite their attempts to alienate the child from Father.
WHEREFORE, Father requests that this Honorable Court find Mother in contempt of the
July 11, 2003 custody Order and direct as follows:
Mother reimburse Father for all counsel fees and costs incurred by Father in the
preparation of, presentation of, and hearing to address this petition within forty-eight (48) hours
of being presented with an invoice evidencing said expenses; and
2. Any other equitable relief this Court deems appropriate.

PETITION FOR RELOCATION
AND NOW, comes the above-named Defendant, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes,
and petitions the court for permission to relocate the child outside of Cumberland County,
based upon the following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Defendant. The Respondent herein is the Plaintiff.
2. The parties are the parents of one minor child, Marianna Constantine Touloumes,
age 6, born 19 April 1999. That child is the subject of prior orders of this court entered in
this action which have awarded legal custody of the child to both Plaintiff and Defendant
and have awarded physical custody of the child, for the majority of the time, to Defendant.
3. Plaintiff and Defendant have been separated for more than three years and are
presently engaged in a divorce action which Defendant hopes will be concluded within the
next few months. Plaintiff has previously flied a petition for bifurcation and De`endant
believes that, if all the divorce litigation is not concluded before the end of 2005, the action
will be bifurcated and the final decree in divorce will be entered terminating the marriage.
4. Both Plaintiff and Defendant have become involved with other persons and
Defendant plans, once the divorce is final, to marry William Hoff, who resides in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
5. Defendant wishes to move to Philadelphia to establish a marital home and family
with her husband-to-be. She would like to move in the spring of 2006 and she would like to
take her daughter Marianna C. Touloumes, with her to that new home.
6. Defendant believes that such a move with Defendant will be in Marianna's best
pnterest for several reasons:
A. It will maintain Marianna in the primary physical custody of Defendant
with whom Marianna has lived all of her life; and
B. Defendant anticipates she will be able to obtain better full time
employment than she has been successful in obtaining in Central Pennsylvania
and that such employment will add to the financial and personal stability of her
I family and, therefore, Marianna; and
C. It will place Marianna in a happy, secure, stable, and comfortable
home; and
D. It will allow Marianna to be enrolled in schools which will fully and
realistically meet her educational needs and abilities and expose her to cultural
and other activities not reasonably available to her at the present time; and
E. Such a move can be accommodated without disrupting in a serious way
Plaintiff's relationship with Marianna and with other members of Marianna's
extended family, both on her father's side and on her mother's side.
7. Defendant wishes this court to modify its present custody order to allow her to
ate to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and to structure a custody schedule that will be fair to
parents and in the best interests of the child.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to permit her to relocate with the child to
delphia, Pennsylvania, and to establish a custody of schedule which will be in the best
est of the child and still maintain the child's relationship with her parents and other
bers of her extended family.

IN CUSTODY
CUSTODY CONCILIATION SUMMARY REPORT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Marianna Constantine Touloumes April 19, 1999 Mother
2. A custody conciliation conference was held on December 13, 2005, with the following
individuals in attendance: The Father, Constantine G. J. Touloumes, with his counsel, James R.
Demmel, Esquire, and the Mother, Megan C. Touloumes, with her counsel, Samuel L. Andes, Esquire.
3. The Court previously entered Orders in this matter on April 14, 2004, July 11, 2003 and
October 11, 2002 under which the Father has custody of the Child on alternating weekends from
Thursday through Monday and during the interim weeks from Thursday through Friday and the
Mother has custody at all other times. In addition, the most recent Order provided for the parties to
obtain a custody evaluation to address the Father's pending Petition for Modification. Although the
parties proceeded in a timely manner to obtain that evaluation, the evaluator has not submitted a report
or recommendations. Prior to resolution of the outstanding Petition for Modification, the Mother filed
this Petition for Relocation, which was the subject of the conciliation conference. The parties were not
able to reach an agreement at the conference and it will be necessary to schedule a hearing. Due to the
parties' recent experience with the evaluation process, obtaining the assistance of yet another
professional on the relocation issue does not appear to be a viable option.
4. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother seeks to relocate with the Child
to Philadelphia, where the Mother's fiance resides and works. The Mother indicated that her fiance
moved from North Carolina to the Philadelphia area where he obtained employment for the purpose of
remaining in close proximity to the Child's Pennsylvania contacts. The Mother believes it would be
best for the Child to move to Philadelphia where there would be better employment opportunities for
the Mother and excellent educational opportunities for the Child. The Mother believes that requiring
her fiance to commute between the Carlisle area and Philadelphia for work would cause an
unreasonable burden on the family and is not a reasonable option. The Mother requests the Court's
permission to relocate with the Child to the Philadelphia area in the spring of 2006.
5. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father strenuously opposes the Mother's
request for relocation of the Child. The Father indicated that he is also planning to remarry and his
fiancee, who previously resided in Philadelphia moved to the Carlisle area and purchased a home in
the area to maintain the Father's proximity to the Child. The Father further stated that he had rejected
an employment opportunity in Philadelphia solely because of his desire to be close to the Child. The
Father wishes to pursue his outstanding Petition for Modification (which the parties were attempting to
address through a custody evaluation). The Father believes he would not be able to maintain his
involvement in the Child's life if the Mother were permitted to move the Child to Philadelphia. The
Father requests that the Mother's Petition for Relocation be denied and that his Petition for
Modification be granted increasing his periods of custody with the Child.
6. The conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached scheduling a hearing both on
the Father's Petition for Modification and the Mother's Petition for Relocation and providing for
holiday custody arrangements which were established at the conf,-rence. It is anticipated that the
hearing will require one-half to one full day.

IN CUSTODY
PETITION TO REOPEN RECORD AND TAKE ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY
AND NOW comes the above-named Defendant, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the court to reopen the record and take additional testimony in this matter, based
upon the following:
1. The parties were before this court on 5 April 2006 for a hearing on Plaintiff's
petition to modify the custody schedule.
2. Following the conclusion of the testimony at the hearing on 5 April 2006, this
court, by the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, instructed the parties to set forth their proposals
regarding modification of the order by letter.
3. Within several days after the hearing, the Plaintiff/ Father had the minor child,
Marianna Touloumes, age 6, for one of his periods of temporary custody. During that period
of temporary custody, Father or his fiance discussed with the child, apparently in
considerable detail, the events and testimony that took place at the hearing and the child's
comments to the Judge during his in-chambers interview of her.
4. As a result of the conduct of the Father or his fiance, the child returned to the
custody of the Mother following the Father's periods of temporary custody extremely
agitated, hostile, and upset. The child questioned Mother in detail about the finances of
the parties, referred to matters to which the Mother testified at the hearing, and made
other remarks and comments from which it was clear that the Father, or someone on his
behalf, had discussed all of these matters in detail with the child following the hearing.
5. Mother believes that the conduct of Defendant or his fiance in discussing such
adult matters with the child is injurious to the child and contrary to her best interests for
several reasons, which include:
A. Such discussions unnecessarily involve the child in adult matters,
such as the finances of the parties and their disputes about custody and other
matters; and
B. Because the Mother does not discuss these matters with the child
and, as a result, the child does not hear Mother's side of these issues, the child
is exposed to an incomplete and unfair version of the disputes between the
parties and, as a result, misunderstands many of the disputes between the
parties involving adult matters; and
C. Such conduct tends to disrupt the healthy relationship between
Mother and child and alienate the child from Mother; and
D. Such conduct unreasonably and unfairly injects the child into adult
disputes and subjects her to tension, anxiety, and confusion as a result.
All of these actions operate against the best interest of the child.
6. Mother believes that the conduct of Father or his fiance following the hearing is
part of a continuing pattern to disrupt the relationship Mother enjoys with the child and to
influence the child to seek to spend more time with the Father. Mother believes that Father
is trying unfairly to influence the child and, by doing so, subjecting her to pressure and
anxiety.
7. Mother believes that this incident and the information about it is critical to the
court to have in order to make a fully-informed and proper decision on the matters heard by
the court at its hearing on 5 May 2006. Mother believes that the record must be re-opened
so this information can be received and considered by the court.
8. Without a full exploration of the matters raised in this petition, Mother believes
that the court will not have all of the information it requires to make a decision which is
in the best interest of the child from unreasonable pressure from either parent.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this court to re-open the record in this matter to
permit her to provide testimony regarding the incidents following the hearing on 5 April
2006 and the effects of such conduct on the child.

NO. 02-3518
CIVIL ACTION - CUSTODY
PLAINTIFF'S ANSWER TODEFENDANT'S
PETITION TO REOPEN RECORD AND TAKE ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY
AND NOW, comes Respondent, Constantine Touloumes, by and through his attorneys,
Smigel, Anderson & Sacks, and avers as follows:
Admitted.
Admitted.
Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff admits that Marianna spent time
with him and his fiance, Michelle, on the days following the custody hearing. Plaintiff admits
that one topic of conversation between himself, Michelle and Marianna was the events of the
custody hearing. Marianna was curious about the process of the hearing and its outcome. She
asked Plaintiff and Michelle numerous questions about the custody hearing and they answered
her questions. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that it was natural for Marianna to be
curious about this extremely unusual event in her life and to look for explanations from her
parents. Plaintiff denies that he or Michelle inappropriately discussed any of the custody hearing
testimony in detail with Marianna. Marianna was very curious about the courtroom events and
Plaintiff and Michelle provided simple, age-appropriate answers to her questions without
discussing inappropriate details regarding the hearing.
4. Denied. Plaintiff denies that Marianna was agitated, hostile or upset when she
returned to Defendant's custody as a result of Plaintiff's or Michelle's conduct. Plaintiff denies
that he or Michelle have discussed the parties' finances or inappropriate details regarding the
custody hearing with Marianna. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that Defendant is
fabricating these allegations in a desperate attempt to discredit Plaintiff's and Michelle's
testimony at the custody hearing. By way of further answer, Marianna stated to Michelle that
when Defendant's parents were returning Marianna to school after the custody hearing,
Defendant's mother demanded to know what Marianna had told the Judge and told Marianna that
the Judge was "going to take her (Marianna) away from her mother."
Denied. Plaintiff denies that he or Michelle have discussed inappropriate matters
with Marianna. Plaintiff agrees that discussions regarding inappropriate adult matters are not in
Marianna's best interest. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that Defendant and her parents
are the only individuals discussing inappropriate adult matters with Marianna.
A. Denied. Plaintiff denies that he or Michelle have discussed inappropriate
matters with Marianna. Plaintiff agrees that discussions regarding inappropriate adult matters
are not in Marianna's best interest. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that Defendant and her
parents are the only individuals discussing inappropriate adult matters with Marianna.
B. Denied. Plaintiff denies that Defendant does not discuss inappropriate
adult matters with Marianna. By way of further answer, Plaintiff believes that Marianna should
not be exposed to either party's version of the facts regarding their disputes. Therefore, Plaintiff
and Michelle refrain from engaging in such conversations with Marianna even when they are
aware that Defendant and/or her parents have discussed such matters with Marianna.
C. Denied. Plaintiff denies that he or Michelle have engaged in any conduct
that would tend to disrupt a healthy relationship between Defendant and Marianna or alienate
Marianna from Defendant. By way of further answer, Plaintiff believes that Defendant's own
conduct and the conduct of her parents of inappropriately involving Marianna in disputes
between the parties may disrupt what could be an otherwise healthy relationship between
Marianna and Defendant.
D. Denied. Plaintiff denies that he or Michelle have engaged in any conduct
that would inject Marianna into adult disputes or subject her to tension, anxiety or confusion as a
result. By way of further answer, Plaintiff believes that Defendant's own conduct and the
conduct of her parents of inappropriately involving Marianna in disputes between the parties
may subject Marianna to tension, anxiety or confusion.
6. Denied. Plaintiff denies that he or Michelle are attempting to disrupt the
relationship between Defendant and Marianna or influencing Marianna to seek to spend more
time with Plaintiff, Plaintiff denies that he or Michelle are trying unfairly to influence Marianna
or subjecting her to pressure or anxiety. By way of further answer, Plaintiff and Michelle make
conscious efforts to encourage Marianna's relationship with Defendant. This Honorable Court
met with Marianna as part of the custody hearing in this matter, during which time she freely
expressed her thoughts regarding her relationship with both parties. Plaintiff was not even aware
that this Honorable Court would be meeting with Marianna until the day of the hearing.
Defendant's allegation that Plaintiff somehow tried to unreasonably influence Marianna after the
custody hearing is nonsensical.
7. Denied. Plaintiff denies that Defendant's allegations are critical to this Honorable
Court's ability to make a fully-informed and proper decision on the matters heard by the Court
on April 5, 2006. Plaintiff denies that the record must be re-opened. By way of further answer,
Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that Defendant's allegations are intended to mislead this
Honorable Court, to cast doubt on Plaintiffs and Michelle's testimony in this matter and to
attempt to re-litigate the custody matter since she was unhappy with the results of the hearing.
Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that Defendant was unhappy with this Honorable Court's
decision to increase the amount of time that Marianna spends with Plaintiff and is making these
allegations as retaliation against Plaintiff.
8. Denied. Plaintiff denies that this Honorable Court needs to consider her
allegations against Defendant in order to make a decision that is in the best interest of Marianna.
This Honorable Court heard testimony from both parties at the custody hearing. Plaintiff's
testimony focused on the reasons that it is in Marianna's best interest to spend more time with
him. Defendant's testimony focused on unsupported allegations against Plaintiff. Defendant
seeks to introduce more of the same unfounded allegations against Plaintiff because she is
unhappy with the results of the hearing. This Honorable Court has before it all of the necessary
evidence to determine what custody arrangement is in Marianna's best interest.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny
Defendant's Petition to Reopen Record and Take Additional Testimony.
