Rule 1915.7.Consent Order.

Official Note: See Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.1(b). This rule may require attorneys or unrepre- sented parties to file confidential documents and documents containing confidential information that are subject to the Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania. See Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915.10(b) regarding written custody order requirements.

Explanatory Comment. —2019 The rule has been amended to ensure that when a custody agreement is orally placed on the record that a written custody order prepared by the parties memorializing the parties’ agreement is timely submitted to the court or the court memorializes the oral agreement into a written custody order. The amendment avoids the untenable circumstance that the only written record of the parties’ oral agree- ment is a transcription of what had been placed on the record. Transcription agreements are often cumbersome and difficult to discern as to the custody terms and provisions, which makes enforcement difficult. This amendment is consistent with the holding in R.L.P. v. R.F.M., 110 A.3d 201 (Pa. Super. 2015).
