Hawaii. She is believed to be residing with a paramour and their
child.
The father of the children is Plaintiff, DENNIS E.

6. The Plaintiff has not participated as a party or
witness, or in any other capacity, in other litigation concerning
the custody of the children in this or any other court.
Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding
concerning the custody of the said children pending in a court of
this Commonwealth or in any other jurisdiction.
Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the
proceedings who has physical custody of the children or claims to
have custody or visitation rights with respect to the children.
7. The best interests and permanent welfare of the
children will be served by granting the relief requested because
the children have been residing with the Plaintiff in their
current home for the last two years, since the Defendant left
Plaintiff and the children. They have enjoyed a stable and
wholesome environment, and the Plaintiff is better able to
continue providing such an environment than is the Defendant, who
has suffered from various alcohol addictions and emotional
problems, which have resulted in a suicide attempt and
psychiatric hospitalization.

8. Each parent whose parental rights of the children
have not been terminated and the person who has physical custody
of the children have been named as parties to this action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to enter
an Order granting him primary legal and physical custody of the
sUbject minor children.
Respectfully submitted,

~. A Conciliation Conference was held on ~ Hay 1995 and the fOllowing individuals
were present: the Plaintiff and his attorney, Constance P. Brunt, Esquire. The mother
was properly served in this action but, because she lives in Louisiana, did not appear.
3. The mother and father last lived together in Hawaii. The father came to
Pennsylvania, with all three children, in late July of 1993. He has been employed and
lived here, with all three children, since that time. In the meantime, the mother
remained in Hawaii until March of 1995 when she moved to Louisiana. The mother has
seen the children only one time, over Christmas of 1993, since the parties separated.
4. Under the circumstances, the court should enter some type of order to
stabilize the status quo. I have prepared such an order and attach it. It the mother
wants a schedule of temporary custody, the burden will be on her to request it.
-
5. With the entry of the attached order, no further action is necessary at this
time.
