PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF A PARTIAL CUSTODY ORDt;~
1. The petition of Charles E. Miller I respectfully represents that on January 25, 1996 an
Order of Court was enlCred for PARTIAL CUSTODY, a true and correct copy of which is
attached.
2. This Order should be modified because the current court order fails to provide both
children sufficient contact with their father.
A. The Court Order was entered when Jennifer, born April 4, 1995, was only 6
montllJl old. Now that Jennifer is two years old, her contact with her father should be
increased to include overnight or weekend custody.
B. Both children's contact with their father has been limilCd to alternating
weekend custody. Both children should have the opportunity to spend longer periods of time
with their father. Increased partial custody with the father should include greater custody
periods during the summer, including week long periods of custody.
VERIFICATION
I verify that the statements made in this petition are troe and correct. I undcntand
that false statements herein are subject to the penalties of 18 Pa. C,S. t 4904 rela\ina to
unsworn falsification to authorities.

C0KI8 BOW, the Defendant in the above-referenced action, by
her attorney, Samuel W. Milkee, Jacobeen , Milkee, and pet.itiona
this Court for a finding of contempt of the Court's February 15,
1995 Order and inetructions of the Custody Conciliator, baaed upon
the following allegations:
1. On Thursday, March 9, 1995, the Defendant delivered the
child, Joseph Miller, to the Plaintiff, for the usual Thuraday
evening 6:00 to 9100 p.m. viaitation.
2. At the time of delivering said child, Plaintiff, Mr.
Miller, asked Defendant, Ms. Miller, to drop off the child, Joaeph,
for the Friday visitation at Mr. Miller'e si.ter'a reaidence
instead of at Mr. Miller's reeidence. Mr. Miller explained that
this wae needed because Mr. Miller's father was in the hospital.
3. Ms. Miller ~id not agree at the 6:00 p.m. conversation to
this alternate arrangem.nt, but inatead said that ehe would have to
think about it and would let Mr. Miller know when ehe came back to
retrieve the child later that evening.
4. Ms. Miller's concerne about agreeing to this alternate
arrangement were ae follows:
a. Mr. Miller would not aseure Ms. Miller that he would
even be present if she were to drop off the son at hie .ieter'.
addrese or that the visitation would involve his preeence during
the entire weekend.
b. Ms. Miller was concerned about the .ieter'e
reeidence, at 17th and Market Streete in Harrieburg, which ie known
to be a eomewhat dangeroue area to travel during evening hour..
Additionally, the location was further away from the father'.
residence to which she normally would have traneparted Joeeph.
c. Me. Miller was aware that the Order, .e agreed upon,
wae to provide for Mr. Miller's visitation with Joeeph Miller, not
for Mr. Miller's sister to be able to visit with Joeeph.
5. Upon her return to pick up Joeeph at approximately 9.00
p.m. on March 9, 1995, Mr. Miller became enraged when Me. Miller
eaid that under the terms presented, she could not agree to drop
th. child off at Mr. Miller's eister'e residence. Mr. Miller
became extremely agitated, demonstrated threatening behavior, which
caused Ms. Miller to be in fear that Mr. Miller would become
violent, and Mr. Miller became very loud and yelled obecenitie..
This was all in the immediate proximity of the child, Joeeph
Miller.
6. After this exchange took place, when Me. Miller wae in her
car with Joseph Miller, the child wae crying, aeked why hie father
wae yelling and wae eo mean, and the child .aid that it MU.t be all
hi. (the child'S) fault.
7. On Sunday, March 12, 1995, when Kathy Mil],er drove to
Harrieburg to retrieve Joeeph from hi. weekend vieit with Charle.
Miller, Mr. Miller became enraged when Ms. Miller did not permit
him to enter her car and yelled v'arious obscenities at Ms. Miller,
in the presence of the child. This incident was also very alarming
to the child, Joseph.
8. At the conciliation conference held in this matter, Mr.
Miller was explicitly directed by the custody conciliator, Samuel
Andas, Esq., not to engage in discussions about the child during
the exchanges but that instead he should do so in written or
telephone form.
9. It was sp~cifically with this directive in mind that Ms.
Miller did agree to give Mr. Miller her home telephone number which
she previously had not been willing to provide to Mr. Miller.
10. The actions of Mr. Miller demonstrated on March 9 and 12,
1995 are harmful to the interests of the child and are contrary to
the directives of the custody conciliator and should be penalized
as contemptuous.
WBlurou, for the above-referenced reasons, the Defendant
requests that this Honorable Court find Mr. Mil13r in contempt.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: Charles Miller v. Kathy Miller
No. 6289 Civil 1994
Dear Mr. Milkes:
This letter is to review our conversation of January 6, 1998, regarding your client's re-
quest that Mr. Miller participate in a custody evaluation performed by Mr. Richard Dracha. We
understand that you intend to file a motion with the court to compel Mr. Miller to participate
in the evaluation. We would like this letter to serve as Plaintiff's Response under Local Rule
206-2(c),
You did not contact our office about this until late on Monday, January 5, 1998, just
three days before the hearing. During the custody conciliation of October 3, 1997, no mention
was made about either party participating in a custody evaluation. The Order scheduling this
hearing, dated October 9, 1997. gave you three months' notice of the h.:aring. I understand
from Mr. Dracha that he was retained on October 20, 1997. During the Custody/Protection
hearing of October 27, 1997, no mention was made of a custody evaluation.
In your motion, you state that our office has had three opportUnities to ,peak with Mr.
Dracha regarding his qualifications. This implies that we have had an adequate opportUnity to
review your request; we do not believe Ihis to be the case. The first time I spoke to Mr, Dracha
was during our three-way telephone conversation late on Monday, January 5(h. Within an hour
after (hat conversation. Ilried to contact Mr. Dracha and left a message at his office, because
he was not present. Mr, Dracha returned my caUthis morning, which was the first and only
opportunity that I have had 10 speak with him regarding the custody evaluation. I have not yet
been able (0 speak with Mr, Miller regarding my conversation with Mr. Dracha.
The Order of October 9, which schedules the upcoming hearing, states that counsel shall
provide a witness list ten days prior to the hearing. We received your memorandum ,even days
after it was due in court. three (3) days prior 10 the hearing. In light of the failure to give
adequate nOlice of (his particular witness, or 10 give notice that our client should participate in
PENNp
" The Dickinson School of Law
An F.qual Upportunily Uni....nil:-'

.
Samuel Milkes, Esq,

counseling. your request that Mr. Miller be compelled to panicipate should not be granted. If
an evaluation was to have taken place, arrangements should have been made earlier regarding
panicipation in the evaluation. It should not have been left to the week of the hearing.
In addition, while we do not question Mr. Darcha's good faith. we do have some concern, about
his qualifications as an expen witness.
None of this should be interpreted as an objection of an appropriate request to provide
relevant information to the cou".
In a related mailer. our office has contacted you regarding our request that Kathy Miller
sign a release form so that the YMCA will release infonnation to Mr, Miller about the child-
ren's involvement in the daycare program. Mr. Miller learned that the children were having
problems in the program and that incident repons were created regarding their behavior. In our
convenation of January 5, you informed me that Ms, Miller will not release this information
to Mr. Miller unless Mr. Miller agrees to participate in lhe cuslOdy evaluation. Bt:causll the
evaluation has been brought to the Couns' allention. we hope that Ms. Miller is now willing to
sign the release of informatior.. To do otherwise would thwart Mr. Miller's right 10 shared h:gal
custody. as set out in the Order of January 25, 1996,
Thank you for your time and allention in this mailer.
Very truly yours,
. ,.,' .;.

following has oocurred, pOling an immediate threat to the .afety
and well-being of the Petitioner and her minor children:
,
~ i
a. On October 12, 1997, the Plaintiff appeared at the
residence of the Defendant, in her automobile, for the scheduled
exchange of the minor child, Jennifer.
b. The Plaintiff had firet appeared at a Fox market, nearby
the Defeudant's reeidence, ae the partiee had previouely agreed, in
order to meet in a more public eetting, but the Defendant failed to
appear at thie location. She therefore proceeded to his residence,
where he already was exercising vieitation with their eon.
b. Thie exchanglt was to take place in Middletown, Dauphin
County, where the Defendant resides.
c. At the time of the exchange, present in the Plaintiff's
autcmobile wae also an adult female friend, Nancy Nixon.
d. Without provocation, and apparently because the Plaintiff
had brought with her an adult friend, the Defendant became enraged
and immediately began ,houting obscenities at the Plaintiff, in the
presence of the parties' daughter. He then spit at the Plaintiff
in her face. He threatened to "punch [her] in the mouth." The
Defsndant then grabbed the minor child, Jennifer, born April 4,
1995, beinq two years of age, and while holding the child, grabbed
the Plaintiff and choked the Plaintiff. He aleo etated to the
Plaintiff that he may not be at hie residence, the point of
exchange of the children, when it was time for Plaintiff to
retrieve the children.
e. Nancy Nixon wae able to telephone the Middletown police by
cellular telephone.
f. The police reeponded to the ecene and at the time of filing
of thie Pfltition it ie believed and therefore averred that the
, I
. "
police intend to apprehend the Defendant and charge him with
indirect criminal contempt of the Court'a prior Temporary Order.
g. Aa a reauJ.t of thie incident the Plaintiff received
treatment at the Carliele Hoapital and the Plaintiff' a child,
Jennifer, complained of atomach pains from being aqueezed ao hard
by the Defendant during the altercation.
4. The incident described above is a similar and follow-up
circumstance to that described in the prior Petition, at paragraph
(4C), in which the Defendant has used exchanges of the two minor
children aa a time to exprees hie fruetratione to Plaintiff and to
phyaically aseault the Plaintiff.
5. The incident deecribed above reflecte a eituation in which
the Defendant hu now not only placed tho Plaintiff in feaX' of
further abuee and has abused the Plaintiff, as defined in the
protsction from Abuse Act, but he has also placed a minor child in
a dangerous situation and has abused the minor child, ae defined
under th.. Act.
WHEREFORE, for the above referenced reasons, th.. Plaintiff
respectfully request. of this Honorable Court that:
a. A hearing be scheduled in the above matter for the purpose
of coneidering the relief previously requested in the prior
Petition for Protection Order, and in additlon, granting further

carliale, Pennaylvania
(Whereupon. the following proceedings were
held after rec~sa at 11:34 a.m.)
THE COURT: All right. I am going to say how
7 we are going to resolve this. I am not going to sit up here
8 and muddle through a court order, but I will aak that it bG
9 tranacribed and reduced to a court order just so people will
10 know what will happen when they leave here today.
11 The order will provide tor the next two
12 viaitations. I believe we are agreed that the tather
13 visits, 1 think not this coming weekend but next; that the
14 visitations would be for half a day on sunday, and then tor
15 the next month they will be for a whole day on Sunday. So
16 it would be sometime earlier on Sunday morning to the end of
17 the father'a visit with Joseph.
(
Then we would propose to move to saturday at
noon to Sunday p.m. tor -- and t am not sure il in my mind
18
"
19
20 yet if 1 would do that tor two, maybe tor four, t have to
21 think about that, with the idea that eventually -- a~d here
t,

we are talking, now, one, two, three, perhaps as long as
23 tour or five months trom now, which is getting ua close to

mother -- well. both partie., actually, but with an idea
alone that appears chietly with the mother -- opportunity to
be heard Thursday, March 5th. 1998, at 11100 a.m. But the
order will also contain an inetruction to counsel to conter
not less than one week prior to the hearing date so that
they can advise me as to whether a hearing is really
necessary.
It could be that, perhaps, things will have
gone better than we expected, and a hearing is not
necessary. It could be that things will have gone worse
than expected, in which cas~ a hearing will be neceesary.
The order will also provide that this matter will be
monitored by a protessional retained and paid tor by the
mother and his name, Mr. Milkes or her name?
MR. MILKES: Richard Dracha, D-r-a-c-h-a.
THE COURT: And as I noted in chambers, we
all go into this understanding that Mr. Dracha has a concern
with respect to alleged patterns ot violence in the paet and
wishes to work with the tather, and in fact, to help both
parties work through any concerne there might be about this
expanded time with Jenniler.
And ~t course he will need to have contact
with the lather, and we expect Mr. Miller to cooperate with
him and to Deet with him. And hopetully, 11 he is able to
provide sume Bound advice, to tollow it. And we look then
3
1 to hearing fru. Mr. Dracha, if nece..ary, at our March 5th
2 hearing or at any other time, Mr. Milkes. betore that, it
3 you feel that something is goin9 amiss. But in term. of
4 whether there is a problem that has developed, I urge both
5 parties not to bring anything in tront ot me in the next two
6 or three months in connection with this case, unless the
1 matter i. truly ot significance.
8 I think dad's made some changes, and I think
9 he is turning around, and I think his desire to visit with
10 hi. daughter and be with his daughter is genuine, and my
11 intention is to give him the opportunity to be with both of
12 hi. children.
13 We will in addition consider a schdule of
14 alternating holidays, and perhaps we can use that March 5th
15 date as our target for proposals Irom both sides concerning
16 summer partial custody.
11
18 to add?
okay. Now, what else do counsel feel we need
19
MR. LOC~E: We discussed the Tuesday nights.
THE COURT: Oh, yes. Tuesday, ths Tuesday
nights. Mom appears to be desirous that father take

MR. LOCKE: 8:30?
THE COURT: 8:30?
6
MR. MILKES: Well, I thought the court order
7 .aid seven ~-
8
THE COURT: 7:30 sounds good with a
9 thr.e-year-old. That is a littls better. 8:00?
10
11
12
MR. LOCKE: 8:00.
13
THE COURT: Okay. We'll make it 8:00.
MR. MILKES: Judge, the only other points I
had. I did believe -- and that the Court has spoken eomewhat
14 to the transportation. but -- that Mr. Miller was to begin
15
16
as.umming responsibility for transportation generally.
THE COURT: He picks up the children on
Friday. Am I correct?
MR. MILKES: That's right.
THE COURT: And she can pick up ~he children
17
18
19
20 from him on sunday. So then the issue becomes -- I think he
21 can plck up Jennifer, can he not, during those intorim weeks
22 when -- I am just trying to think Irom the child's
23 standpoint whether it ie better that she be picked up or
24 better that she be dropped off. My child psychology is not
25
that good. Maybe Dr. Dracha has a thought about that? Ve.,
5
1 air.
3 DR. DRACHA: I think it would be good if the
3 mother could pick her up.
4 THE COURT: At the end.
5 MR. DRACHA: Yeah, at the end. If they are
6 going to work together on this. I think that's good.
7 THE COURT: I think that'. fine. Normally
8 speaking the parent who i. going into cuetody is responsible
9 for the transportation, but in this case we have the unuaual
10 situation of a child being picked up part-way through, and
11 we will let ~ad assume responsibility for that.
12 MR. LOCKE: Your Honor, we would like a
13 specific setting for the transportation. If he has to piCk
14 them up Sunday morning, that would be at her home. We would
15 prefer a neutral site where there are people around on
16 Sunday.
17 THE COURT: Is there a place nearby, near
18 Louther Str.et?
19 (Discussion between counsel and parties off
20 the reoord.)
31 MR. LOCKE: Where is the pick-up point on
32 Sunday morning?
23 MR. MILKES: We may have to have 80m. further
24 di8ouesion on that. Nothing is immediately coming to mind
25 on our .nd.
6
1 MR. MARRITZl Ther. i. a Harde.'. right down
2 the .tre.t.
3 MR. LOCKE: Harde.'e?
4 MR. MILKES: But the Tu.sdays would be hi.
5 re.pon.ibility both ways, to my understanding.
6 THE COURT: I think we can be und.r.tood on
7 that.
8 MR. MILKES: And I don't know that it's
9 nec..8arily part 01 the order, but I did under8tand
10 Mr. Miller was going to be expected to be participating in
11 the.e -- in thie program that he'e begun to enroll in.
12 THE COURT: Oh, ye8, that'8 the other thing.
13 He'. already directed by the Court Order to do the
14 batterer's program, and that will be one of the other things
15 we will be monitoring, whether he i8 following through.
16 Though I recognize that it i8 really a collateral matter,
17 but it very much bears on the mother's concern8.
18 MR. LOCKE: The only other iS8ue, just the
19 in8ide/outeide debate at the Fox's Market. You might be
20 uncomlortable putting it inside of the market itself. It
21 that'. the ca8e, then there is a bench right in the rear
22 entrance of the Fox's Market. II you could make that the
23 place.
24 THE COURT: They do 8uch little bU8ine.s that
25 there i. nobody in the parking lot?

Prior Judge: Kevin A. Hess
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIL RULE OF PROCEDURE
19I5.3-8(b). the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
I. The April 4, 2000 Order of Court in this matter contemplated the Father getting involved in
counseling sessions with the children. UnfortWUltely, the Father was unable to schedule
counseling sessions until May 1'1 and May 411I. Once the cOWlSCling sessions were
postponed, the Conciliator has a telephone conference with the attorneys to detennine if the
Father's periods of temporary custody to start on AprillSdl would continue. The Conciliator
recommended that the parties proceed under the existing order.
2. The Conciliator conducted a telephone conference call with attomeys for the parties on
April 18.... He learned that the Father did not appear as scheduled for his visitation on April
I Soh. Father's counsel suggested that Father's car broke down. However, Father did not call
the Mother (he said he has a PF A order and he was afraid ofany contact) nor did Father call
the police station where the parties were suppose to exchange custody. Furthennore. it is
believed that the Father did not make any elTorts to immediately contact his counsel on
Monday to get this issue resolved. The Mother has serious concerns about going ahead with
any visitation pending the counseling sessions. There is a session scheduled for May I" and
May 4"'.
3. The Conciliator recommends an order in the form as attached.

CONCILIAroR rntmlIIl!NCIl SUtIlARY RIlPOI,
IN ACCORDANCB WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURB 19l5.3-8Ib), the
undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
I. The pertinent information concerning the child who is the sUbject of thi.
litigation is as follows:
NAME
CURRENTLY IN
CUSTODY OF
BIRTHDATE
Joseph Micbael Miller
19 October 1991
Defendant/Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on 20 January 1995 and tbe fOllowing
individuals were present: tbe Plaintiff and his attorney, Joseph J. Dixon. Bsquire;
the Defendant and her attorney, Sa.uel W. Hilkes, Esquire.
3. Ite.s resolved by agree~ent: A te.porary order to re.ain In effect until tbe
parties' next cbild is born.
4. Issues yet to be resolved: Eventually the court will have to deter.ine the
custody scbedule for tbis child and the child scheduled to be born in April or Hay.
The court will also have to determine where tbe children receive their daycare.
I 5. Tbe partie. appeared before .e presenting several proble.s. Tbe ~ther lives
lin Carli.le and work. in Harrisburg and has changed the child'. daycare so that tbe
I
.
.
child is at the Carlille YKCA during the day. The father lives in Harrisburg and works
in C..p Hill but has difficulty traveling to see the child because his driver's licenae
il luapended tbrough sQaetiae in early 1995, The tather wanted to expand his tiee witb
tbe cbild and wanted tbe daycare relocated to Woraleysburg (wbere tbe cbildcare bad
been prior to tbe parties' 1994 separation) so it would be easier for bie to see the
cbild and 80 tbe child would be closer to the BOther's place of work in tbe event of an
e.ergency.
6. Tbe parties were able to work out an agreeMent for a temporary order to at
least get theM through the periOd until the birtb of the second child. That agree.ent
was largely necessary because of the MOther's flexibility and her willingneas to
cooperate. Tbat order is attacbed and, with the entry of that order, no further action
is necessary until tbe parties return to .e for another conciliation conference in late
Kay.
