The Court, however, in a custody action upon application of a party and for cause shown, in its discretion[,] may order that the names of the parties listed in the caption be initialized if the Court determines that a child may be identified from the full names of the parties in the caption, pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 904(b)(2). This rule applies only to the names in the caption and does not apply to the text of a circulation or order of the Court.
