Custody • Modification • Lack of Parental Cooperation • Child's Best Interests

Feight v. LaBruno, PICS Case No. 17-1304 (C.P. Berks Aug. 22, 2017) Lash, J. (28 pages).

Where the parents had a history of poor communication, primary physical custody of the child was awarded to mother who had a more flexible schedule.

The parties were the unmarried parents of a five year old boy, S.T.L. Their existing custody order provided that the parties shared legal custody of their son. Physical custody was shared on a rotating two-week basis. Both parties sought modification of the custody order to obtain primary physical custody of S.T.L. during the school year.
