NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37
D.J.N. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF
PENNSYLVANIA
Appellant
v.
G.N.
Appellee No. 1370 WDA 2015
Appeal from the Order August 10, 2015
In the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County
Family Court at No(s): FD 97-06360-004
BEFORE: BOWES, J., MUNDY, J., and JENKINS, J.
CONCURRING STATEMENT BY JENKINS, J.: FILED JULY 7, 2016
I concur with the Majority’s memorandum affirming the order granting
the petition for modification. I write separately to note that the trial court’s
requirement that “Mother shall be present at all times when the children are
in Mother’s custody” is extraordinarily burdensome. This requirement would
prevent the children from seeing friends and would prevent them from going
to birthday parties or any activity unless all 5 people, Mother and the four
youngest children, could attend. It also would prevent Mother from leaving
any child with anyone, including Mother’s husband, to run an errand.
However, at oral argument before this Court, the parties stated that they
had made reasonable accommodations to avoid strict enforcement of this
provision.
