Can you show me how this is to be written if I provide you with some examples of things I need listed in my pleadings? So I’m filing a petition for modification of custody in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, I’m requesting that our Legal shared custody that is standing is to remain the same, changing only the Custody from the father to the mother, making the mother, the primary physical custodian, and the father will have every other weekend, this is mainly due to the child’s wishes and best interest and to support. This is the various and multiple violations that the father has committed violating the custody order And they are as follows: violation of relocation as father moved in * without petitioning, the courts or notifying the mother, this changed the child’s school district as well and during this time, he also withheld the child from the mother for a period of * */2 months to wear from March until July the mother did not see the child at all, father also withheld communications between the child and mother, that following October father, with held the child again for a period of * weeks, and traveled to the state of Indiana with the child on the mother scheduled weekend for visitation, the following scheduled weekend for visitation the father and girlfriend had family photos done posting them online, the father‘s girlfriend removed the mother‘s photos from the child’s room stating to the child isn’t it creepy that your mom stares at you while you sleep and then instruct the child to take the photos home to her mothers house and leave them there The girlfriend, then replaced the voids where the photos were with photos of her face instead, mother attempted to discuss these issues with father father supported the girlfriends actions, father‘s violated right of refusal, forcing child to stay overnight with father‘s, girlfriends ex-husband‘s parents, and the child is instructed to call them grandma grandpa, Father and girlfriend, speak disparagingly about the mother, father punished child for having a C in math and stating to her. Why can’t you be more like your stepsister? She gets straight A’s, father starts arguments in front of child during pick up and drop off times and claims that she is old enough to hear this as I don’t believe it has anything to do with age it should not happen. I invite you to interview the child to confirm that these things are happening to her they have completely damaged her mental health and her confidence and her sense of security. I’ve had many talks with the child on Waze that she could cope and attempt to somehow improve her situation so that she doesn’t feel scared but she feels scared. She doesn’t want to talk to her dad or his girlfriend and most recently the weekend of January *, * was the mothers scheduled visitation weekend and the father scheduled his wedding on that weekend and told them mother at the last minute about it, and then kept the child for that weekend. Without ever even asking the mother evidence will be provided for all of these claims and I have a calendar showing the amount of time father and mother have spent with the child over the past five years feeling it wasn’t necessary to go back any further than that.
Based on your detailed information, here's an example on how your pleadings might be written:

Please have this format reviewed by a legal professional before submission.
I don’t want the format for pleadings, I want to know how to write them given the information I provided you on all the ways the father has violated the custody order. How do I word these violations in the form of pleadings?
Certainly, here's how you could word some violations:
*. Father's Violation of Relocation Notice: The father relocated in * without court petition or proper notification to the mother, altering the child's school district.
*. Withholding Child from Mother: The father unilaterally withheld the child from the mother for extended periods, notably from March to July and for * weeks in October.
Continuing in this manner, list all violations succinctly and factually.
What about the ones where I’m describing how the child is treated at home by the father and his girlfriend? Specifically where she’s removing my photos from a photo collage that my eldest daughter and I made her where she remove my pictures and replaces it with hers? The girlfriend is a third-party, so how is she presented or brought up in a custody modification situation?
In such situations, describe the actions and their impact on the child. For instance: "Third-Party Interference: The father's girlfriend removed my photos from a collage in the child's room, replacing them with hers, causing distress to the child." The courts look at what's in the best interest of the child, so highlighting the emotional impact is important.
Hello?
Yes, you can be descriptive in your pleadings about the emotional impact on your child. For instance, you can write: "Emotional Distress: The child has shown severe anxiety and distress during exchanges, specifically when moving to the residence of the father's girlfriend. Additional distressing factors include witnessing physical abuse, being forced to stay overnight with non-relatives, and being made to address them as grandparents." Make sure to include any professional assessments or diagnoses if available.
