The Father of the child is Scott P. Deems, Sr., who
currently resides alone, with the exception of the child who is
the subject of this petition, at 1750 Saxonburg Boulevard,
Tarentum, Pennsylvania 15084.
The Father continues to be married to the natural Mother.
5. The 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.
The Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding
concerning the child currently pending in any court of this
Commonwealth.
The Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the
proceedings, who has physical custody of the children or claims
to have physical custody or visitation rights with respect to
the children.
6. The best interests and permanent welfare of the child
will be served by granting the relief requested because:
Ii a). The child's half-brother, Caleb, resides in Carlisle
"
with the Mother. At age 5, Caleb is nearly Scottie's own age.
The two brothers have resided with one another and been constant
companions since Scottie's birth. Primary custody of the child
should be awarded to the Mother in order to keep the siblings
together.
b). The Mother has been the primary care-giver of the child
since his birth. In order to make sure that Scottie did not
have to stay with a baby sitter, the Mother and the Father
I
i1'
,
,
.,
agreed that his Mother would forgo regular employment in order
to provide constant care at home. The Father often works an
excessive number of hours per week and is constantly "on-call"
overnight. Primary custody of the child should be awarded to
the Mother in order to provide a regular, predictable, and
stable schedule with the parent to whom the child has looked
first for care and attention for his entire life.
c). The child has expressed a desire to live with his
brother and natural Mother, and should not be prohibited from
doing so.
7. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not
been terminated and the person who has physical custody of the
children have been named as parties to this action. All other
persons, named below, who are known to have or claim a right to
custody or visitation of the children will be given notice of
the pendency of this action and the right to intervene I
