GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Introduction

This is the PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE MEMORANDUM packet. This packet should be used when a Judge in your custody case orders you to complete a PARENTING PLAN or if you need a guideline to help you and your co-parent to resolve your custody case. Please note:

If you do not have a Custody Order, and would like to obtain one, use the Obtaining a Custody Order packet.

If you have a Custody Order and would like to change the Order, use the Modification of a Custody Order packet.

If you need to enforce a Custody Order, use the Enforcing a Custody Order packet.

This packet of information has been created by members of the Adams County Bar Association. These materials are intended to assist individuals involved in a custody action by providing general information and legal forms. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU IN ANY CUSTODY ACTION. The information provided herein is not legal advice and is not to be used as a substitute for professional legal advice. Just as you would consult a medical professional for a medical issue, you should consult a legal professional for a legal issue.

B. Legal Definitions

Custody means the legal right to keep, control, care for and make decisions for a child and includes the terms “legal custody,” “physical custody,” and “shared custody.”

Legal Custody is the right to make major decisions on behalf of the child, including, but not limited to, medical, religious and educational decisions.

Sole Legal Custody: The right of one individual to exclusive legal custody of the child.

Shared Legal Custody: The right of more than one individual to legal custody of the child.

Physical Custody is the actual physical possession and control of a child. When a person has physical custody of the children, regardless if they have legal custody, they can make decisions regarding the child's health in an emergency situation. There are different types of physical custody schedules, including:

Primary Physical Custody: The right to assume physical custody of the child for the majority of the time. The child lives with one party for the majority of the time.

Page 15 Download HTML

Shared Physical Custody: The right of more than one individual to assume physical custody of the child, each having significant periods of physical custodial time with the child. The child lives with each party for an equal or substantially equal amount of time.

Partial Physical Custody: The right to assume physical custody of the child for less than a majority of the time. The child lives with one party some of the time but not the majority of the time. A common example is when one party has the children every other weekend from Friday to Sunday, and occasionally one day during the week that they do not receive the child on the weekend.

Sole Physical Custody: The right of one individual to exclusive physical custody of the child.

Visitation: Pennsylvania no longer uses the term Visitation. Partial Physical Custody, defined above, is equivalent to Visitation as defined in some states.

Non-Professional Supervised Physical Custody: Custodial time during which an adult, designated by the court or agreed upon by the parties, monitors the interaction between the child and the individual with those rights.

Professional Supervised Custody: Custodial time during which a professional, with education and training on the dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, trauma and the impact of domestic violence on children, oversees the interaction between the child and the individual with those custody rights and promotes the safety of the child during the interaction.

Household Member: A spouse or an individual who has been a spouse, an individual living as a spouse or who lived as a spouse, a parent or child, another individual related by consanguinity or affinity, a current or former sexual or intimate partner, an individual who shares biological parenthood or any other person, who is currently sharing a household with the child or a party.

Relocation: A change in a residence of the child which significantly impairs the ability of a non-relocating party to exercise custodial rights.

Further information about the preceding legal definitions and about custody law may be found in the statutes that govern custody, Title 23 Pa. Consolidated Statutes Sections 5321 to 5340 (23 Pa.C.S. §§ 5321 – 5340), and in the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, Pa.R.C.P. 1915.1 – 1915.25.

C. Custody Factors (23 Pa. C.S. §5328)

In ordering any form of custody, the Court shall determine the best interest of the child by considering all relevant factors, giving weighted consideration to those factors which affect the safety of the child, including:

Which party is more likely to ensure the safety of the child.

Instructions

Page 16 Download HTML

The present and past abuse committed by a party or member of the party's household, which may include past or current protection from abuse or sexual violence protection orders where there has been a finding of abuse.

The information set forth in section 5329.1(a) (relating to consideration of child abuse and involvement with protective services).

Violent or assaultive behavior committed by a party.

Which party is more likely to encourage and permit frequent and continuing contact between the child and another party if contact is consistent with the safety needs of the child.

The parental duties performed by each party on behalf of the child.

The need for stability and continuity in the child's education, family life and community life, except if changes are necessary to protect the safety of the child or a party.

The availability of extended family.

The child's sibling relationships.

The well-reasoned preference of the child, based on the child's maturity and judgment.

The attempts of a party to turn the child against the other party, except in cases of abuse where reasonable safety measures are necessary to protect the safety of the child. A party's reasonable concerns for the safety of the child and the party's reasonable efforts to protect the child shall not be considered attempts to turn the child against the other party. A child's deficient or negative relationship with a party shall not be presumed to be caused by the other party.

Which party is more likely to maintain a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child adequate for the child’s emotional needs.

Which party is more likely to attend to the daily physical, emotional, developmental, educational and special needs of the child.

The proximity of residences of the parties.

Each party's availability to care for the child or ability to make appropriate child-care arrangements.

The level of conflict between the parties and the willingness and ability of the parties to cooperate with one another. A party's effort to protect a child or self from abuse by another party is not evidence of unwillingness or inability to cooperate with that party.

The history of drug or alcohol abuse of a party or member of a party's household.

xviii. The mental and physical condition of a party or member of a party's household.

Any other relevant factor.

D. Criminal Convictions and Charges

1. Where a party seeks any form of custody the Court shall consider whether that party or member of that party's household has been convicted of or has pleaded

Instructions

Page 17 Download HTML

guilty or no contest to any of the offenses listed below or an offense in another jurisdiction substantially equivalent to any of the offenses listed below. The Court shall consider such conduct and determine that the party does not pose a threat of harm to the child before making any order of custody to that parent when considering the following charges:

Criminal homicide, simple assault, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, stalking, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, luring a child into a motor vehicle or structure, interfering with custody of children, rape, statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, indecent exposure, sexual intercourse with animals, cruelty to animals, aggravated cruelty to animals, animal fighting, possession of animal fighting paraphernalia, offenses relating to sex offenders, arson, incest, concealing death of child, endangering welfare of children, offenses relating to dealing in infant children, prostitution, offenses related to obscene and other sexual materials and performances, corruption of minors, sexual abuse of children, unlawful contact with minor, sexual exploitation of children, contempt for violation of a permanent or temporary Protection From Abuse Order or agreement, driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance, driving after imbibing alcohol or utilizing drugs, and offenses related to The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act prohibiting manufacture, sale or delivery, holding, offering for sale or possession of any controlled substance or other drug or device.

If you have obtained information about a criminal charge filed against the other party for an offense listed above, you may move for a temporary Custody Order or modification of an existing Custody Order. The Court must schedule an expedited hearing and the Court shall consider whether the party who is or has been charged with an offense poses a risk of physical, emotional or psychological harm to the child.

You can find out information about pending criminal charges, criminal convictions, guilty pleas and no contest pleas in Pennsylvania by logging on to the Web Portal for the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania at http://ujsportal.pacourts.us/. Once on this website, you can look up the docket information for all minor courts (Magisterial District Judges) and Common Pleas Courts in Pennsylvania. If you have correctly spelled the last name of the individual, you can find out if there are convictions or charges pending against the individual in all counties in Pennsylvania.

If you have an existing custody order and you wish to modify it, you should not use this packet but rather you should use the Modification of a Custody Order packet.

2. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure require that all documents (including Petitions, Complaints and Orders) that you file with the Court must be served by you on the other party, or their attorney of record, if any. This includes any Orders you receive scheduling an appearance before the Judge as a result of your filing. Although the Prothonotary’s Office may send a copy of a Scheduling Order to the parties, THIS IS NOT SERVICE. If you do not properly serve all other parties, your case may be delayed, or even dismissed. This packet includes information on how to properly serve the other party.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE PARENTING PLAN

If a trial is scheduled, the Judge may order you and the other parties to each complete a PARENTING PLAN.

For example, Father might like to have custody of the child on every Father's Day, and Mother on every Mother's Day.
