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
DAm Ol! BIRm
aJRRml'LY IN ammY Ol!
Megan R. Knaub
April 7, 1995
Father's fiancee
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on March 4, 1999, with the
following individuals in attendance: The Mother, Marie Smiley (formerly
Knaub), who was not represented by counsel, and Austin F. Grogan, Esquire,
counsel for Father. The Father, John C. Darcy, III, is currently
incarcerated and was therefore unable to attend the Conference. The
Father's fiancee, Ginger Deslaurier participated in a part of the
Conference.
3. The Court previously entered an Order on February 2, 1996
reflecting the parties' agreement that the Father have primary physical
custody of the Child and the Mother have partial physical custody on
alternating weekends and at other times specified in the Order. The Child
has resided with the Father and his fiancee for approximately one year and
with the Father prior to that since entry of the Order in February 1996.
The Father was incarcerated for insurance fraud on February 1, 1999 and
filed this Petition for modification to address the custody issue pending
his unavailability. The Father and his fiancee, Ginger Deslaurier, plan to
be married in two weeks. To their credit, the Mother and the Father's
fiancee get along well and were able to cooperate in establishing custody
arrangements which are in the best interest of the Child under these
unusual circumstances. Although the Father was not able to attend the
Conference, his interests were represented by his counsel, Austin F.
Grogan, Esquire.
4. The parties agree to entry of an Order in the form as attached.
