2. Defendant/Respondent. Douglas E. Scout (hereinafter referred to as "Father"), is
an adult individual who currently resides at 541 Brighton Place, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland

3. The parties arc the parents of one minor child, namely Courtney L. Scout born
January 27. 1991 (hereinafter referred to as "Courtney").
4. Pursuant to an order of this court dated February 20. 1996, Mother and Father
share legal custody of Courtney with Mother having primary physical custody and Father having
partial physical custody.
5, Mother has remarried to Jeffrey H, White (hereinafter referred to as "Mr, White")
who is employed by the United States Internal Revenue Serviee (hereinafter referred to as
"IRS").
6. On or about June 30, 1999, Mother contacted Father and advised that it was
highly probable that the IRS would be transferring Mr. White to the Florida area in the very near
future,
7. In addition, Mother directed her counsel to prepare a Stipulation for Entry of
Custody Order providing for alternate custody arrangements in the event of Mr. White's transfer
to the Florida area and thus, her and Courtney's relocation to the Florida area.
S, Father did not agree to the Stipulation for Entry of Custody Order.
9, On or about November 13, 1999, Mr. White was advised by the IRS that he was
being transferred to the Fort Myers Florida IRS office effective January 30, 2000.
10. Accordingly, by letter dated November 17, 1999 and hand delivered to Father,
Mother advised Father of the need for relocation.
II. Father has denied Mother's request for relocation to the Fort Myers Florida area
with Mr. White and the parties' child, Courtney,
12. Due to the relocation, Mother and Mr. White have listed their home for sale,
13. Mr. White must report to the Fort Myers, Florida IRS office on or before January
30, 2000.
14. Mother's motive in requesting the move is not to deprive Father of contact with
Courtney but rather to be able to continue to reside with her Husband.
I S. In addition, Mother and Courtney have many family members residing in the
Florida area.

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:
~
DATE OF BIRTH
CURRFHl'Ly IN aJSTODY OF
Courtney L. Scout
January 27, 1991
Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on January 12, 2000, with the
following individuals in attendance: The Mother, Licia M. White, with her
counsel, Cindy S. COnley, Esquire, and the Father, Douglas E. Scout, with
his counsel, John J. Connelly, Jr., Esquire.
3. This COurt previously entered an Order in this matter on February
20, 1996 under which the Mother had primary physical custody of the Child
and the Father had partial custody on alternating weekends, 2 evenings per
week and additional time in the surrrner and on holidays. The Mother is
planning to relocate with the Child to Florida and filed this Petition for
approval. After an extensive Conference addressing detailed custody
arrangements for primary custody, partial custody, holidays, legal custody,
transportation, costs, telephone access, and jurisdiction, the Father
requested that the matter be held open for an additional 2 days so that he
could further consider the arrangements. Subsequently, the Mother's
counsel contacted the COnciliator to advise that disputes had arisen with
respect to the arrangements discussed during the Conference and therefore
it will be necessary to schedule a Hearing.
4. The Mother's position on custody is as follows: The Mother stated
.
"
that her husband, who works for the Internal Revenue Service, requested and
received a transfer to Florida effective January ::10, 2000. The Mother
indicated that it is likely her Husband would have been transferred to
another state even if he had not requested relocation to Florida. The
Mother and her husband have listed their home for sale in Pennsylvania.
The Mother further indicated that most of her extended family resides in
Florida and she has wanted to move to Florida for many years. The Mother
believes that it is in the Child's best interest to move to Florida to
reside with the Mother and her husband.
5. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father
believes the Mother's relocation is based solely on her desire to live in
Florida which resulted in her husband's voluntary relocation of employment.
Under the existing custody order, the Father had frequent contact with the
Child who will be 9 years old this month. The Father wants to maintain his
ongoing contact with the Child and does not believe the Mother's desire to
live in Florida outweighs his ongoing involvement in the Child's life. The
Father believes it is in the Child's best interest to continue to reside in
Pennsylvania with him.
6 The conciliator recommends an order in the form as attached
scheduling a Hearing in this matter. It is expected that the Hearing will
require at least one full day. Due to the fact that the Mother's husband
will begin employment in Florida effective January 30, 2000, the Mother
requests that the Hearing be expedited.

5. The Father's position on custody is as follows: The Father
believes the Mother's relocation is based solely on her desire to live in
Florida which resulted in her husband's voluntary relocation of employment.
Under the existing custody Order, the Father had frequent contact with the
Child who will be 9 years old this month. The Father wants to maintain his
ongoing contact with the Child and does not believe the Mother's desire to
live in Florida outweighs his ongoing involvement in the Child's life. The
Father believes it is in the Child's best interest to continue to reside in
Pennsylvania with him.
6 The Conciliator reccmnends an Order in the form as attached
scheduling a Hearing in this matter. It is expected that the Hearing will
require at least one full day. Due to the fact that the Mother's husband
will begin employment in Florida effective January 30, 2000, the Mother
requests that the Hearing be expedited.
