Since the entry of the Order of November I, 200 I, the children have continued to reside with Petitioner, previously at their address of 312 North West Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and more recently at their address of 306 North West Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; under such circumstances, the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County continues to have jurisdiction over the issue of custody of the children who have continued to reside in Cumberland County since the entry of the prior Order. 9. Petitioner resides at her current address solely with her children and Respondent was believed to have been residing with his paramour at his address in California. 10. From February 11,2002 until the summer of 2003, Respondent had only one period of physical custody with his children for approximately a one week period in the Carlisle area in the summer of2003, II. Respondent had limited telephone contact with the children in 2002 and 2003, . 12, In the fall of 2003, Respondent bcgan cxpressing an intcrest in the children by incrcasing his telcphonc contact and by beginning to contact thc children through their emailaccounts, 13. The children visited with Respondent for approximately one week over Christmas of 2003 and for a two week period in the summer of 2004. 14, In the past, Respondent had vacatcd the parties' fonner marital residence, where the parties were residing with the two children, and left the United States of America to reside for various periods of time outside the United States, being on different islands in the Caribbean. IS, At least two moves occurred in this fashion while the parties were residing together where Respondent gave literally no notice to Petitioner but simply left Petitioner and the children home, moved to an island in the Caribbean, and resided there for an extended period of time. 16, Respondent likewise made his move to California without any prior notice to Petitioner or the parties' children and without any discussion of the emotional or psychological impact upon the children with such a move, 17. Respondent's move to California occurred within three months of having conducted a conciliation conference, based upon his Petition for Modification of Custody, and establishing a comprehensive Custody Stipulation and Order. 18. The children have endured drastic and adverse emotional, psychological, and physical affects from Respondent's conduct. 19, In the past, Respondent has engaged in a course of conduct in his contact with the children that has included downgrading and denigrating Petitioner, attempting to undermine Petitioner's authority with the children, attempting to intervene with the children when Petitioner has corrected them or has provided them with appropriate guidance, and has otherwise altempted to adversely interfere with the relationship between Petitioner and her children. 20. Respondent has now filed a Petition for Modification of Custody requesting increased periods of time with the children. 2 L Contemporaneously with the filing of this Petition, and, in fact, on the day of the conciliation conference that was held on September 9, 2004 based upon Respondent's Petition, Respondent was in transit having decided to move from the State of California to the State of Florida, 22. The limited information that Petitioner has relative to Respondent's move was gained through cursory telephone messages or conversations that Respondent had with the parties' teenage children, 23. Petitioner has no specific information relative to Rcspondent's whereabouts at the time of filing this Petition other than the allegation that he has moved to the State of Florida. 24, Respondent, over the past several years, has illustrated an instability as described above which creates great concern for the safety, welfare, and care of the children, should R~spondent be penniued to have the children in his care and custody for any extended period of time. 25. The children had two visits with Respondent in California, one for a one week period over Christmas 2003 and one for a two week period in the summer of2004, 26, While the children love their father and wish to have contact with him, they also would prefer to have that contact be more limited and, if at all possible, to occur in the Commonwcalth of Pennsylvania. 27. Respondent has failed to comply with the tenns of the Court's Order of November 1, 2001, with respect to every other weekend contact with the children, with respect to contact over the minor holidays, and with respect to other times other than the visit he had with the children in the Carlisle area in the summer of2003, the visit he had with the children in California for the Christmas of 2003, and the two week visit he had with the children in the summer of 2004, 28. Petitioner has claimed to be disabled due to emotional and mental problems for which he is receiving psychiatric or psychological treatment and for which he is presently being medicated. 29. Respondent's instability has now created problems with his relationship with his paramour with whom he had been residing for some five or six years, such that the parties have now separated with the paramour now living back in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area, VERIFICATION I verify that the statements made in the foregoing document are true and correct.

CllSTODY CONCILIATION SIlMMARY REPORT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report: I. The pertinent information concerning the Children who arc the subjects of this litigation is as follows: NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF Erin Gisela MacNamara Marcus Rudi MacNamara March 29, 1990 October 28, 1991 Mothel' Mother 2, A Conciliation Conference was held September 9, 2004 with the following individuals in attendance: The Mother, Susan 1'1, MacNamara, with her counsel. Bradley L. Griffie, Esquire, and Father's counsel, Aaron Neuharth, Esquire, Father was unavailable due to prior travel plans, 3. The Honorable Edward E, Guido entered an Order of Court dated November 1,2001 providing for shared legal custody. Mother having primary physical custody and Father having alternating weekends, holidays and two non-consecutive weeks in the summer, Two weeks after the November I, 2001 Order of Court was entered, Father relocated to California, Since that time Father has not exercised his alternating weekends, but has recently enjoyed a period of time at Christmas and two consecutive weeks in the summer, Father tiled a Petition to Modify seeking more time in the summer, Christmas and Easter, Father is in the process of relocating to Florida, 4, Father's position on custody is as follows: Father seeks shared legal and partinl physical custody, Father requests seven consecutive weeks in the summer, an extended period of lime over the Christmns nnd Easter holidnys. Fnther believes that Mother is interfering with his rclntionship with his children, summer of 2003 and 2004. lie saw them in the summer of 2003 when he returned to Pennsylvania and had them for approximately two week. which is the period of time he requested. Mother has been extremely accommodating to Father, although his involvement with the children hus had various negative aspects to it. Father hus made comments to the children and directed the children in such a manner as to interfere in Mother's ability to maintain proper authority over the children, 1I0wever, the children have matured over the last several years and now those issues that Father attempted to use to drive a wedge between the Mother and the children are ineffective. Father's lifestyle is extremely disruptive, irresponsible, and unslllble. During the parties' marriage, after the children were born, Father moved to the Dominican Republic without his fwnily. He resided there for one year. Father was a scuba diving instructor and, to the best of Mother's knowledge, established some type of scuba diving employment that was in the Dominican Republic. Father retumed from the Dominican Republic and the parties remained sepuroted and ultimately divorced. Father had various girlfriends over a few year period and ultimately left with one of his girlfriends to live in Barbados. This wus done with little or no notice to Mother and the children. When the children becwne aware their Father was leaving again, they begged him to not move, particularly since he wus leaving on Christmas Eve, but he ignored their pleas. Father and his girlfriend retumed to Pennsylvania about six months later, only to move to California with limited notice to the family in early 2002, Father then. in the midst of the present proceedings, separated from his girlfriend in California and moved to Florida, To the best of Mother's knowledge, Father is living in a hotel somewhere in Florida. Neither she, nor the children. have an address for him, but they have been given telephone numbers for him, There is no family or other reasons for Father to move to Florida, Beyond Father's totally irresponsible conduct and failure to maintain the most bliSic stability in his lifestyle and residency, liS indicated previously, Father has been downgrading and denigrating Mother, and hliS attempted to undermine her authority with the children, Only through the children's maturity hIlS Mother avoided greater problems with the children thwl what might otherwise have occurred due to Father's conduct. At the time of filing Mother's Petition for Modification in this clISe. which is being heard contemporaneously with Father's Petition for Modification, Mother WliS unaware of any details whatsoever relative to Father's move to Florida, other than a cursory telephone message suggesting that he WIIS moving, Even with three or four more weeks having pllSsed since that time, Mother and Mother's counsel still have nothing more than a telephone namber for Father, although he continues, apparently, to insist that he should have some type of unsupervised contact with the children in the state of Florida. Father also hIlS taken action when the children are in his care that hIlS caused great concern for the children's safety, including their physical safety. Since Father claims to be disabled due to emotiollal and mental issues. including depression and feelings of rejection, his psychiatric problem may, in fact, have something to do with his inability to maintain stability and responsibility in his life and his inability to be responsible in the limited care that he has for the children, In fact, as the childrcn mature, they make comments to their Mother that make it obvious to her that the children are actually becoming more responsible and mature than their Father.

Florida, so the geographic distance bctween the parties is still a factor in this matter, Despite the existence of the above-mentioned Order. Mother has consistently and strongly attempted disregard the provisions of the Order. In order to exercise his period of physical custody of the children during the 2003 Christmas Holiday, Father had to continuously threaten Mother with a contempt action, Once Mother realized that she have no choice but to follow the Order or face a contempt action, she finally agrecd to follow the Order. The same was true for Father's period of summertime physical custody in 2004, In both cases, the children were left uncertain as to what they would be doing over the Christmas Holiday and summer because Mother never made the final decision to follow the Order regarding Father's physical custody until one to two days prior to the time the children were scheduled tl} fly out to Father's residence in Cali lamia, By cor.trast, Father notified Mother months in advance of his intent to exercise the above-mentioned periods of physical custody, Since Father relocated to California, he has continuously but unsuccessfully attempted to come to an agreement with Mother to extend his summertime periods of partial physical custody in the summers so that he is able to spend more time with the children. Mother has flatly and unreasonably refused to expand Father's periods of summertime partial physical custody and goes to extreme lengths to prevent Father from maintaining a meaningful relationship with the children, Father has also attempted to maintain reasonable telephone contact with the children. Mother has again limited the children's ability to have reasonable telephone contact with Father. As a result of Mother's strong desire to prevent the children from spending time with Father and maint~jning contact with Father, considerallle llnd unjustified alienation between the children and their father has occurred. The children have onen expressed to Father that they desire to spend more time with him and have more contact with him, . .

MacNamara, an adult individual who previously resided at 7073 Carlisle pike, Lot No. 137, Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, and currently resides at the Hotel Kontemar, Dominican Republic, but who has a mailing address of Actividades Acuaticas, Puerto Plata village, Playa Dorada, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. 3. The parties are the same parties to a divorce action initiated at the above docketed number in the Prothonotary's Office of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, pennsylvania. 4. The parties are the natural parents of Erin Gisela MacNamara, born March 29, 1990, and Markus Rudi MacNamara, born Ootober 28, 1991. 5. In the past, Respondent has vaoated the marital residence, sometimes with instructions tor his family to follow, and sometimes with instruotions for his family to remain at that residence. 6. In June ot 1994, in a spur of the moment decision, Respondent determined that he would move to the Dominican Republic to accept a job as a scuba diving instruotor. 7. At the time ot this decision, Respondent was working at pennsylvania Blue Shield, making $7.00 per hour. 8. Respondent vacated the marital residence on approximatelY June 19, 1994, advising Petitioner that he was moving to the Dominican Republic. 9. Since June 19, 1994, there had been intermittent contact between the Respondent and the Petitioner. 10. On september 22, 1994, Respondent appeared at Petitioner's residence where he remained until October 4, 1994, at that time returning to the Dominican RepUblic. 11. During Respondent's brief visit, he provided no financial support to Petitioner. 12. petitioner, based upon this most reoent escapade ot Respondent and past experiences, has determined that it is necessary for her to pursue her children's best interest relative to residency and financial matter~. 13. The Respondent in the past has failed to provide for the financial needs of the family. 14. Respondent in the past has had an intermittent work record and has required the parties to move their residence with little or no prior notice and has left the family with little financial socurity. 15. The Respondent has returned unexpectedly in the past from the Dominican Republic, or with little notice in~icating his intention to move back into the marital residence, at 7073 Carlisle pike, Lot No. 137, Carlisle, Cumberland county, pennsylvania, where the petitioner and her two minor children reside. 16. To allow the Respondent to move back into the former marital residence would be extremely disruptive to the children who have just become accustomed to his l"esidence outside of ,the marital domicile. 17. Respondent's determination that he would vacate the marital residence more than five months ago, and his securing of a new residence of his own is indicative of his ability to secure a new residence outside of the former marital residence where the petitioner and her two minor children reside. 18. Respondent has shown an emotional and mental instability that has had a negative affect upon the Petitioner and her children relative to their security and the status quo of their lives, as well as the petitioner's and the children's financial security. 19. Petitioner recently secured full-time employment to assist her in providing for the immediate and necessary needs of her and her children. . ," .'

Hoffer CUS'IOOY CONFERmCE stH1ARY 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 pertaining to the Children who are the subjects of this litigation is as follows: NAME BIRTHDATE CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF Erin Gisela MacNamara Markus Rudi MacNamara March 29. 1990 October 2B, 1991 Plaintiff/Mother Plaintiff/Mother 2. A Conciliation Conference was held on February 22. 1995. with the following individuals in attendance: the Mother, Susan M. MacNamara, and her counsel, Bradley L. Griffie, Esquire. Frances H. Del Duca, Esquire. who apparently represents the Father, Mark P. MacNamara, notified the Conciliator that Mr. MacNamara would be out of the country until March. However, the Conciliator's efforts to reschedule the Conference for any time in March were unsuccessful. The Conciliator is uncertain as to Ms. Del Duca's status as Mr. MacNamara's legal counsel as she did not respond to efforts by the Mother's counsel to accept service of the Custody Complaint or enter into communications with respect to Mr. MacNamara's position on interim Custody arrangements until he returns to the United States. Because Ms. Del Duca was unwilling to reschedule the Conciliation Conference at this time, the Conciliator notified Ms. Del Duca that the Conference would proceed on February 22. 1995, at which time temporary custody arrangements would be addressed pending Mr. MacNamara's return. 3. The parties Dominican Republic. parties' separation. separated in June 1994 when the Father moved to the The Children have resided with the Mother since the 4. The Mother's position on custody is aD follows: The Father had a very unstable work record prior to leaving the country in June 1994. Based on this history. the Mother declined to take the Children and move to the Dominican Republic with the Father. although the Father requested that she do so. The Father has changed employment and residence two or three times since moving to the Dominican Republic and the Mother is concerned that this is not an appropriate lifestyle for the Children. During the Father's recent visit to Pennsylvania from Decetrber ll. 1994 through January ll. 1995, the Children spent considerable time in the custody of the Father at the paternal grandmother's home, and the Mother has no intention to prevent the Father from seeing the Children. The Mother is agreeable to liberal partial physical custody arrangements for the Father. but seeks an Order preventing the Father from taking the Children. without her consent, to the Dominican Republic or removing the Children from her primary physical custody. The Mother is unable to reach the Father by telephone but has his former work address in the Dominican Republic as well as an address in Miami. Florida. which the Father provided to her for forwarding his mail. 5, The Conciliator notes that she had been previously informed by Frances Del Duca. EsquJ.rfl, that Mr. MacNamara had no intention of removing the Children to the Dominican Republic without the Mother's consent, 6. I have attached an Order pro:>viding interim custody arrangements pending further Order of the Court after Mr. MacNamara's return to the cOlTlTlOnwealth. 7. As Ms. DelDuca, Esquire, has neither entered an appearance on Mr. MacNamara's behalf nor attended the Conciliation Conference, I am enclosing an additional envelope for service of the Court's Order on the Father at the forwarding address which he has provided in Miami.

OFFICE OF THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR Cumberland County Courthouse Fourth Floor Carlisle, PA 17013 (717) 240-6200 SUSAN M. MacNAMARA, : Plaintiff : MARK P. MacNAMARA, : Defendant : PRIOR JUDGE: Judge George E. Hoffer IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA No. 94-6645 CIVIL TERM CIVIL ACTION - CUSTODY IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUMBERLAND COUNTY RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report: 1. The pertinent information pertaining to the Children who are the subjects of this litigation is as follows: NAME BIRTHDATE CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF Erin Gisela MacNamara Markus Rudi MacNamara March 29, 1990 October 28, 1991 Plaintiff/Mother Plaintiff/Mother 2. A Conciliation Conference was held on February 22, 1995, with the following individuals in attendance: the Mother, Susan M. MacNamara, and her counsel, Bradley L. Griffie, Esquire. Frances H. Del Duca, Esquire, who apparently represents the Father, Mark P. MacNamara, notified the Conciliator that Mr. MacNamara would be out of the country until March. However, the Conciliator's efforts to reschedule the Conference for any time in March were unsuccessful. The Conciliator is uncertain as to Ms. Del Duca's status as Mr. MacNamara's legal counsel as she did not respond to efforts by the Mother's counsel to accept service of the Custody Complaint or enter into co~unications with respect to Mr. MacNamara's position on interim Custody arrangements until he returns to the United States. Because Ms. Del Duca was unwilling to reschedule the Conciliation Conference at this time, the Conciliator notified Ms. Del Duca that the Conference would proceed on February 22, 1995, at which time temporary custody arrangements would be addressed pending Mr. MacNamara's return. 3. The parties separated in June 1994 when the Father moved to the Dominican Republic. The Children have resided with the Mother since the parties' separation. 4. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Father had a very unstable work record prior to leaving the country in June 1994. Based on this history, the Mother declined to take the Children and move to the Dominican Republic with the Father, although the Father requested that she do so. The Father has changed employment and residence two or three times since moving to the Dominican Republic and the Mother is concerned that this is not an appropriate lifestyle for the Children. During the Father's recent visit to Pennsylvania from December 11, 1994 through January 11, 1995, the Children spent considerable time in the custody of the Father at the paternal grandmother's home, and the Mother has no intention to prevent the Father from seeing the Children. The Mother is agreeable to liberal partial physical custody arrangements for the Father, but seeks an Order preventing the Father from taking the Children, without her consent, to the DominJ. can Republic or removing the Children from her primary physical custody. The Mother is unable to reach the Father by telephone but has his former work address in the Dominican Republic as well as an address in Miami, Florida, which the Father provided to her for forwarding his mail. 5. The Conciliator notes that she had been previously informed by Frances Del Duca, Esquire, that Mr. MacNamara had no intention of removing the Children to the Dominican Republic without the Mother's consent. 6. I have attached an Order providing interim custody arrangements pending further Order of the Court after Mr. MacNamara's return to the Cor~nonwealth. 7. As Ms. Del Duca, Esquire, has neither entered an appearance on Mr. MacNamara's behalf nor attended the Conciliation Conference, I am enclosing an additional envelope for service of the Court's Order on the Father at the forwarding address which he has provided in Miami, Florida.
