KOHLER, Plaintiff V, CRAIG A. ROWLES, Defendant IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA NO. 02-3493 CIVIL TERM CIVIL ACTION - LAW 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 THE CUSTODY OF Kaitlyn Elizabeth Rowles May 14, 2001 Mother 2. A Custody Conciliation Conference was held on January 19, 2004 with the following individuals in attendance: the Mother, Megan L. Kohler, and her counsel, Anthony T. McBeth, Esquire. The Father, Craig A. Rowles, did not attend. 3. The Custody Conciliation Conference for this date was scheduled by mutual agreement of the parties at their Conference on October 2, 2003. This Court's October 10, 2003 Order set the date, time and place for the Conference in Paragraph 3. The Order was sent to the Defendant Father at the address which he confirmed at the October 2, 2003 Conference. The Conciliator met with Mother and her counsel for approximately 45 minutes. However, the Father did not call or attend the Conference. 4. Mother's position on custody is as follows: Mother is unwilling to expand on Father's custodial time or agree to his contact with the child which is not supervised by Plaintiff. She reports that since the October 2, 2003 Custody Conciliation, the child's Father was hospitalized for six (6) days due to a suicide attempt made at a time when he discontinued the use of his psychiatric medication. She reports that he has been swearing in front of the child which he justifies by telling her that she will learn those words someday anyway. Additionally, Mother reports that at the visit which occurred on January 11, 2004, Father pulled the child's pants down as she was walking by him. This caused her to trip. She reports that Father thought this was funny. Mother is concerned that this behavior is inappropriate and that it will continue because she claims to have seen Father do the same thing to his own mother on at least ten (10) occasions. Mother also reports that Father has not been taking his medication since shortly before Christmas. She obtained this information from Father's mother and the Defendant apparently confirmed this with her last NO. 02-3493 CIVIL TERM week. Mother also reports the Father has a history of incarceration for crimes related to sexual contact with underage females. She reports that he was incarcerated for this behavior for a substantial part of the child's first eleven (11) months of life. More recently, she reports that Father has obtained his driver's license and has had recent police interaction because of picking up minor females who were later identified as runaways. Mother asked that the Order be modified to provide her with sole legal custody and supervised partial custody as the parties agree. 5. Father's position on custody: Is not known to the Conciliator because he failed to attend the Custody Conciliation Conference. 6. Because the Custody Conciliator met with Father at the time of the original Custody Conciliation and the Conciliator has specific recollection of Father having confirmed his treatment for bipolar illness both on an inpatient and outpatient basis, the Conciliator finds it to b~ appr?priate to issue the recommended Order a,~a~hed.
