_COMPLAINT FOR CUSTODY
NOW comes the Plaintiff, Jacob S. Kleckner, Jr., by his attorney, Nathan C. Wolf,
Esquire, and respectfully represents as follows:
1. Plaintiff is Jacob S. Kleckner, Jr. (hereinafter "Father"), who resides at 1050
Highfield Court, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17055.
2. Defendant is Bobbi A. Sharer (hereinafter, "Mother"), who resides at 12
Meadowview Drive, New Bloomfield, Perry County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are the natural parents of one minor child, namely:
Stephen Jacob Kleckner, born January 31, 2000 age 2 years
4. The child has lived with the parties from the time of his birth until approximately
February 15, 2002.
5. Plaintiff and defendant are the natural parents of the child.
6. The child was born out of wedlock.
7. The child is presently in the custody of the defendant.
8. The parties are currently unmarried.
9. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity, in
other litigation concerning the custody of the child in this or another court.
10. Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding conceming the child
pending in a court of this Commonwealth or any other state.
11. Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has
physical custody of the child or claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to
the child.
12. Plaintiff maintains a stable household and environment within which to raise
the child.
13. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child requires that the relief
requested herein be granted because the defendant has failed to discharge her parental
duties with regard to the child and has left the child in the care of third parties for
inordinate amounts of time despite the fact that the plaintiff was available to watch the
child himself and, repeatedly when the defendant was not working, rather than care for the
child herself.
14. Plaintiff has enjoyed various periods of visitation and temporary physical
custody with the child since the parties' relationship terminated in February of 2002.
15. Defendant has threatened that if plaintiff does not comply with defendant,s
excessive demands for financial support, despite his prior voluntary payments of direct
support and his payment of mortgage payments on the defendant's behalf, that plaintiff
will not be permitted to have visitation or temporary physical custody of the child at all.
16. Plaintiff believes that these threats will be carried out, thus impeding the
relationship between the plaintiff and the child.
17. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that if defendant is permitted to interfere
with his relationship with the child, that the child will suffer irreparable harm as a result of
defendant's actions.
18. Plaintiff believes that the hlld s best interests would be served by an award of
primary physical custody to plaintiff,
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Jacob S. Kleckner, Jr., respectfully requests that the Court
enter an order providing joint legal custody and that the plaintiff have primary physical
custody of the child.
