IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE NINTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR

ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA

COURTNEY PETERSON,

Plaintiff,

v. 2017-DR-000000-O

GEORGE PETERSON,

Defendant.

SUPPLEMENTAL PETITION TO MODIFY PARENTAL

RESPONSIBILITY
COMES NOW, the Plaintiff, COURTNEY PETERSON, by and through the undersigned
attorney, and files this her, Supplemental Petition to Modify Parental Responsibility, against the
Defendant, GEORGE PETERSON, certify that the following information is true:

1. The parties to this action were granted a final judgment of dissolution of marriage on
January 15, 2017.

2. The final judgment of dissolution of marriage describes the present parental

responsibility as being shared parental responsibility between the Plaintiff and Defendant.

3. Since the final judgment there has been a substantial, material and unanticipated
change in circumstances requiring a modification of the parental responsibility. Those changes
are as follows:
Approximately six months ago the Defendant joined the Church of Vorgon, around the same
time the Defendants children, Zoe and Chloe, started having nightmares, and now cry upon the
separation from the Plaintiff. As a result of this change in circumstances the children's grades
have declined from A/B to C/D, and their teachers have reported that the children seem to be in a
near-constant state of fright that is exhibited through their constant scanning of the entry points
of rooms. During this time since the Defendant joined the Church of Vorgon a licensed
psychologist diagnosed the children with anxiety resulting from the “Book of Vorgon'' stories the
Defendant reads to them. The children now believe that every day of their lives Vorgon could
make a visit to them and they would never see their parents again, and are terrified that they
could end up on the moon. The Defendant’s religiously motivated actions have been an attempt
to gain notoriety amongst his clergy, and in direct contrast with the best interest of his children.

4. The Plaintiff asks the Court to modify the parental responsibility as follows:

The Plaintiff requests that the Court grant her sole parental responsibility which includes the
ultimate authority over the children's religious upbringing, and for the Court to prohibit the
Defendant from talking about the Church of Vorgon to the children as well as restrict the
Defendant from taking the children to the Church of Vorgon.

5. This modification is in the best interest of the children because:

The Defendants proselytizing of his children into the Church of Vorgon has had a detrimental
effect on the mental health and wellbeing of Zoe and Chloe to a degree that has caused them to
be clinically diagnosed with anxiety. The Defendants attempts to evangelize his children into the
Church of Vorgon has also inhibited them from thriving in their studies, and has caused their
grades to plummet as a result. It is in the best interest of the children that this Court accepts this
petition, and grants the Plaintiff sole parental responsibility.

WHEREFORE, based on the foregoing the Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court
modify the final judgment in this case, and grant the Plaintiff sole parental responsibility.
