Concise Statement of Matters Complained on Appeal #1
“the trial court erred in finding the plaintiff to be obdurate, vexatious and acting, in bad faith in determining an award of counsel fees, costs and expenses for the defendant pursuant to 23 Pa. C. S. 5339. Finding plaintiff to be acting in bad faith, as well as vexatious or obdurate was done in error. ”
This court did find mother’s filing of the emergency custody to be obdurate, vexatious and acting in bad faith. Specifically, the court finds that mother’s testimony regarding her filing of the emergency custody petition on July 31,2014 was not credible. Mother’s statements to the police and in court were not consistent. (H.T. 7/31/2014 *295pp. 11 1. 24 andpp. 22 1. 20).
Mother’s behavior leading up to the filing of the emergency custody Petition are evidence of her obdurate, vexatious and acting in bad faith behavior. Father entered into evidence text messages exchanged between the parties. The court considered mother’s behavior towards father outside of her court filings. Beginning on June 2, 2014 mother and father had disagreement about how much help father should give Kaya while bathing. Mother told father he would get court papers soon. The parties continued the arguing regarding mother communicating with father’s girlfriend. Late in the day on June 2, 2014, mother and father’s girlfriend had an altercation at which time mother called the police on father’s girlfriend. Mother told father she was pressing harassment charges.
On June 4, 2014, mother inquired as to what time she could pick the child up. Mother threated father with contempt and told him “You are a twisted sick father to my child”. Mother also brought up father “alleging terrible false accusations to the law about my ex hurting Kaya”. Mother further states the she and the child will move “out west” when Kaya turns 18. Mother sent father a message regarding her anger over father’s birthday party plans at 10:55 p.m. This behavior was all prior to the alleged disclosure of sexual abuse by the child.
Mother reported that Kaya disclosed abuse sometime *296after 11:15 p.m. on June 4, 2014 while child and mother were rough housing. Less than twelve hours from mother mentioning the previous incident wherein father raised his concerns of sexual abuse in a previous emergency petition, mother claims the child disclosed abuse by her father.
Concise Statement of Matters Complained on Appeal #2 “the trial court erred by relying on speculative testimony by child to determine an award of counsel fees. ”
The court did not rely on the child’s testimony in regard to the petition for counsel fees. The child did not testify at the hearings on the petition although the transcript from the emergency custody proceed was entered into evidence. The court dismissed the petition for emergency custody based in part on the child’s testimony however this was not the basis for the award of counsel fees. Mother’s behavior and intentions in the filing of the petition for emergency custody is what led to the court’s determination and award of counsel fees.
Concise Statement of Matters Complained on Appeal #16
“The trial court erred in reversing the burden of proof The plaintiff should not have to prove that she acted reasonably under the circumstance. The trial court erred by extending sympathies to the defendant instead of bearing in mind the best interests of the child. ”
*297The court proceeded with the basic assumption that mother’s request for emergency custody was reasonable and in good faith, her request was initially granted. The court allowed a continuance for mother to seek counsel for representation regarding the petition for counsel fees. Father met his burden of proving mother’s behavior was obdurate, vexatious, and in bad faith. The court finds that father’s testimony regarding the incidents surrounding the filing of mother’s petition for emergency custody was credible. (H.T. 6/17/11 pp. 6).
This court did not consider the effects the mother’s petition for emergency custody had on father beyond the financial circumstances of his bill for legal services. The court did not sympathize with father’s situation but instead focused on the child. The court did consider the best interest of the child and the need to hold a party accountable for the negative effect on the child of an obdurate, vexatious and in bad faith filing.
