Re: Custody of Joshua Ryan Kayn, age 4,

Father, Dennis R. Kayn, age 54, b. 11/5/45
Mother, Teresa D. Kayn, age 36, b. 11/5/63
Dear Attorneys;
Introduction. I initially performed a custody evaluation in this matter in September of 2000,
involving both an in-home evaluation and an individually administered psychological evaluation
with each parent. A thirteen page report was available by October 5, 2000, and it made three
recOJ:tlDlendations: joint legal custody, primary physical custody for mother, and liberal partial
physical custody for father. I also suggested that individual counseling for each parent might be
beneficial.
Subsequent to that evaluation father came to my office once, and he made five or six relatively
brief phone calls to me. He wanted clarification about whether the report meant that he should
receive less time with the child than he had before, and the answer was "no." In subsequent
conversations with both attorneys this information was conveyed. Father also seemed to need a
sounding board for his disappointments and complaints about trying to negotiate custody matters
with mother. My response essentially was fourfold: talk to Teresa, discuss unresolved matters with
your attorney, be prepared to live with any decisions that you make as a father, and seek
counseling. I pointed out to him that it was my responsibility to practice ethical1y and to maintain
objectivity and that I could not take the counselor's role.
The week of June 4 I received a call from attorney Williams requesting a second evaluation. The
request was confinned in a subsequent letter (6/4) which attached an order (5/29) by the
Honorable J. Wesley Oller, Jr. allowing either party to "retain an evaluator" prior to the August 2
hearing, costs to be paid by the party seeking the evaluation. Father has followed througb. with this

responsibility. In phone calls with both attorneys, the option of a fresh third party perspective was
discussed.
I met with father and son on the morning of Tuesday, June 12, for approximately 2.5 hours. I met
with mother and son on the morning of Wednesday, June 20, for approximately two hours. There
were subsequent phone calls with both parents for clarification of infonnation, and father was
interviewed at my office on July 5.
Assessment methodology. I reviewed documents related to an alleged child abuse incident:
Chambersburg Hospital Report of Suspected Child Abuse (2/6/01), Protective Service
Investigation Report (2/7/01), Cumberland County C & Y notification of suspected abuse (2/8/01),
Child Abuse Interview Report (Earl Greenwald, M.D., 2/8/01), Medical Examination (Earl
Greenwald, M.D., 2/8/01), Addendum from Earl Greenwald, M.D. (3/2/01), and Cumberland
County C & Y letter offindings (3/30/01).
I further interviewed both parents, with special focus on reactions to the observations made in the
last report, and made parenti child observations. The parents also completed a self-report
questionnaire and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems as it applies to their own relationship.
With the possible exception of abuse issues, parental criticisms of one another are not included in
this report unless the problem impacts parenting and both agree on the information, and/or there is
confirmation from a reliable third source.
CustodY Goal. Father hopes to be considered for more custody time, and before the child begins
school in the Fall of 2002 he would prefer primary physical custody, but he would at least like the
recently mandated summer schedule to be in effect year round, i.e., one week per month in
addition to the standard every other week-end and one week-day overnight arrangement. Father
mentioned that he had kept infonnation about multiple day care centers in the area, and he
specifically mentioned programs at Shippensburg and Wilson colleges.
Mother wishes to maintain primary physical custody either without changes in the current schedule
or with further limitations of father's time. She worries about the difficulty of trying to adjust to
two day care programs. She pointed out that Joshua's current day care has a 6/1 adult to child
ratio with a very low turnover rate and that he has been there two years.
CustodY Coo.peration. Both indicate that cooperation on the court ordered time and place of child
transfer has been good, even though there have been changes in those factors, but there have been
differences of opinion on specific requests for flexibility.
Mother gave this example of how communication breaks down: [1] Father requests a time change.
[2] Mother says "no" due to Joshua being invited for dinner at a mend's followed by a swimming
lesson. [3] At the last minute the family calls and cancels dinner. [4] Father asks Joshua ifhe
went to the family's home for dinner. [5] Joshua says "no." [6] Father concludes that mother was
lying. [7] Tensions and hard feelings are increased. In father's view the whole matter could have
been avoided by simply prioritizing the parent's request.

Unstructured Observation. Father's Home. Child's Room. Joshua took me upstairs to show
me his room while father completed paperwork. There have been no essential changes since the
last evaluation. The child's tent, a small air mattress, smaI1 plastic chairs, and toy items are in his
bedroom rather than in the family area, but his bed still sits, full of stuffed animals, at the foot of
his father's bed.
Behavior. Joshua was friendly, evidenced good rapport with his father, and displayed good self-
management during my visit. Father's behavior toward the child was supportive, encouraging, and
affectiouate. Joshua was watching the Wizard of Oz when I arrived, and, off and on, continued to
watch that video. When he took me upstairs, he named the stuffed animals that were in his own
bed. I asked Josh to show me where he sleeps, and he crawled up on his father's bed, put his hand
on a pillow, and said, "there."
When about fifteen minutes had gone by he chose to go outside, and father put some toys in full
view outside the sun room so that he could play. During the visit Joshua played outside for a time
and then would come inside, and that pattern continued. He would talk briefly to his father each
time; e.g. about IIying to plant followers. He followed his father's boundaiy setting to give the
adults conversational privacy. At a point in time Joshua was allowed to go next door on his own to
ring the bell and ask if Andy (age 11) could play. He came back to say that no one answered.
Father showed some evidence of distraction and stress, perhaps an exacerbation of attention deficit
and depressive symptoms for which he takes the medications Adderall and Paxil. When Joshua
took me upstairs I found the water running at full force in the bath room. Father also took 2 to 3x
longer than average to complete the personal data questionnaire. Consistent with feeling excessive
stress is the self-report of a 15 pound weight loss and loss of appetite "most days. "
When providing personal data, after the "children" item, father wrote the name ofhis daughter but
not the names ofhis sons. He also initially indicated "blanks in memory most days," but later
indicated that it wasn't so. He also endorsed the items "adult sexual abuse" and "adult emotional
abuse," and these were left blank on the previous evaluation questionnaire. Perhaps he was
confusing the sexual abuse item with what allegedly recently happened to Joshua.
Mother's Home. Child's Room. The appearance of the bedroom was similar to my last visit.
Over twenty pieces of Joshua's art work are on display. The bed is full of stuffed animals.
Pictures in the room include one of father holding up a catch of fish.
[Mother advised that she added father's picture based on comments in the first evaluation report.]
Behavior. Joshua was playing with his dinosaurs in the middle of the living room floor when I
arrived, and there was also a dinosaur and anima1 book in the area. Rapport between mother and
son was very good throughout the visit, and mother evidenced both patience and enthusiasm in the
interactions. At my request Joshua took me to his room and was able to name all the stuffed
animals on his bed.
Joshua chattered with his mother and dramatized stories as she sat on the floor with him and
completed the assigned paper work. She occasiona1ly responded to his requests, such as helping

him to get something out of the toy closet. Due to Joshua's desire for his mother's attention, it
took her somewhat longer than usual to complete the paper work, and he also tended to interrupt
our attempts to talk. Mother did set boundaries and redirect him, but he returned fairly often.
Joshua had a brief crying spell when he was told that grandmother and stepgrandfather had come
to take him to day care, but he settled rather quickly as his mother took him out to the car.
[As during the first evaluation, Joshua was more attention seeking and emotional in mother's
environment. But mother was also the one who did not use the TV as a parenting tool. However,
during the first evaluation, father was the one that didn't use the TV as a parenting tool. The
spaciousness/freedom offather's home compared to mother's is certainly also a factor. We must
further consider that during visits with father, father has 100% time to give the child, while mother
must be constantly sending him off to day care. There is also the possibility that father may
criticize mother to Joshua.]
Mother. Mother had concern in her voice and was close to tearfuIness a few times, but she did not
report high levels of emotional tunnoil or behave in ways that would suggest levels of stress,
depression, anxiety, or anger that interferes with judgment.
[Mother appears to be managing her emotions more constructively than father.]
Interview. Father. Residence. Dennis continues to live at 247 Cheslnut Drive in Shippensburg.
The home is for sale, and he is waiting for "an acceptable offer." He could not be definite about
when a move might occur.
Alcohol use. The last report indicated that Dennis had developed an evening habit of drinking a
martini or vodka tonic and a beer, which resulted in "a little bit of euphoria," and since that was
"more potent" than he wanted, there was a change to two beers in the evening. Dennis now
reports that he drinks one beer in the evening, "It tastes good with a snack and reading the paper."
He believes that his drinking "never affected behavior, " but why, then, does he keep changing the
habit to less?
[Father noted that mother had expressed concern about alcohol use, but he did not express
awareness that the evaluator also mentioned concerns about alcohol use in the previous report.]
Slee.piru! Arratll!ements. Dennis acknowledged "no change" in the sleeping arrangements, and
said, "As often as not he'll be in bed with me or will crawl into his own bed with his animals. "
Father offered that Joshua wants "affection and to be held." He emphasized the love that father
and son have for each other, and he indicated that the sleeping arrangement should not be an issue
at this tender age. He affirmed that in the future there would be a separate bedroom for Joshua.
[Father took note that "mother" had concerns about sleeping arrangements, but again he didn't
express awareness that the evaluator also mentioned dependency concerns about the arrangement
in the previous report.]
GAP/CustodyEval/JoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 4
-- = ~- ~";
Extended Farnilv. Dennis advised that he has maintained contact with the older children through
regular phone calls and cards since the last evaluation. There are plans for a trip to Florida this
year to see the extended family.
Personal Care. Dennis' work place recently began to offer EAP services, and he is taking
advantage of four free counseling sessions with Susan Day at Summit Behavioral Health. To date
he has attended one session. He continues to see Dr. Hegarty every 60 days for medication
management. He indicated that he had been taking the medication long enough that he was no
longer sure of its degree of helpfulness.
[Father did not connect taking this counseling step with anything that was said in the previous
evaluation. ]
Father/Son Interaction. Dennis indicated that he tries to do at least one special thing with Joshua
each week-end that they are together. He mentioned activities like ball games, attending concerts
at the Capitol Theater, hiking, fishing, swimming in mends' pools, Saturday morning library time,
watching videos, reading books, and playing games like Booby Trap. About 75% of the time they
will attend church. He mentioned being eligible for five weeks vacation and the possibility of
doing some traveling.
Interview: Mother. Residence. Teresa continues to rent the same apartment, and she is currently
on a month to month lease. She has a contract to build a home, but that cannot happen until the
marital assets are settled. The home would be constructed in the area offRt. 581 at exit 2, just a
few miles from her work and Joshua's day care center. She anticipates that it could be a full year
before the project can begin.
Extended Family. Teresa advises that she and Joshua made trips in October and March to Florida
and Missouri respectively and saw most of her family at those times. Her mother and stepfather,
one or the other, or both, have been visiting in this area since the end of May and are scheduled to
return home June 21.
[Mother appears to have the more active relationship with extended family.]
Personal Care. Teresa advises that she took seriously the observation in the first evaluation about
the helpfulness of counseling. She has been in sessions with Lucretia Hurley-Browning since
January of this year. They have addressed the repression issues that were mentioned in the earlier
evaluation as well as self-assertiveness. The counselor challenged her to pray for Dennis daily, and
she has managed to let go of some of her anger, although she might only say the prayers three
times per week. She completed her Divorce Care class that was meeting last Fall and found it to
be very helpful. She is currently active in a women's outreach group at her church.
[Mother appears to have made a conscious decision to take self-care steps based on the first
evaluation. ]
Mother/Son Interaction. Teresa advised that Joshua had completed one set of swimming lessons
and that she would probably sign him up for the next set. They go with Joshua's mend and parent
GAP/CustodyEval/JoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 5
~- '"' "Jl'iiltJ
to see plays by the Popcorn Hat Players. Church attendance is usually weekly, and Joshua attends
his own class and sings in the children's choir. They attend church events such as picnics.
Vacation Bible School fell on the week that he was with his father. Summer activity will probably
include trips to Washington and Baltimore. Neighborhood friends are Brandon (4) and Trevor
(4). Mother noted which relationship goes smoother and which requires more supervision.
Evening time usually consists of a quick dinner, and then going to play, perhaps to the playground
and swimming pool, and riding a bike with training wheels.
Alleged Child Abuse. The following represents my understanding of the chronology and content
of events:
[1] Joshua was with father on Wednesday, January 31, and father reports observing "no visible
injuries." The child was transferred to mother the next day, Thursday, February 1, at about
6:30AM.
[2] The alleged abuse occurred between Thursday, Feb. 1 and Sunday, Feb.4 when mother was
visiting a male friend in Norfolk, Virginia.
[3] The alleged perpetrator was mother's adult male companion.
[4] Mother's male friend was with her and Joshua from late Thursday evening until after lunch on
Sunday.
[5] Following complaint of discomfort by Joshua while bathing, Mother reports seeing a penile
scratch or abrasion on Friday.
[6] Mother and Joshua returned home after lunch on Sunday.
[7] Father received Joshua at McDonald's in Carlisle on Tuesday evening, February 6, 5:30PM.
[8] Father took the child to Chambersburg Hospital the same evening where he was examined at
8:19PM.
[9] Father reported that the child's penis was "pulled," causing injury. Joshua told the nurse, "
(name) pulled it."
[10] Two days later Joshua reported this same act to an examiner and indicated that it took place
"on top of his clothing. "
[11] Medically, the scratch is not consistent with the type of injury one might expect from the
action described, and it is considered "medically trivial" and "accidental."
[12] Cumberland-Perry C & Y detennined the abuse charge to be "unfounded,"
[13] Any negative interaction between Joshua and mother's companion cannot be defined with
reasonable certainty.
GAP/CustodyEvalIJoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 6
" .
In reading over the documentation, I had several concerns: [1] Joshua apparently did not use the
word "penis" during his initial examination. [2] Joshua subsequently stated that mother "very very
much" hurt his penis, but who believes that statement has credibility. Why, therefore, should other
statements be believed if this one is ignored? [3] Inconsistency and judgment uncertainty in a three
to four year old is not surprising since that is an age when memory, object constancy, language
development, and comprehension, are still in fluid fonnation.
There is a possibility that Joshua bears some degree of hard feelings toward mother's male friend.
[1] The three had walked and played on the beach on Saturday. At their apartment (?) they
attempted to put Joshua down for a nap. He would not listen to his mother to stay in bed. Her
male companion provided verbal back up and eventually physically placed Joshua in bed. [2]
Joshua had begun a habit of resisting his mother's authority by unbuckling his seat belt. Mother's
companion admonished him about not doing that as they left after lunch on Sunday.
One of father's very strong objections is any action of mother's which places a third party in the
position of disciplining Joshua. Mother responds, "I looked at these situations as someone backing
me up rather than discipline. I assume that Andy and Jennifer's parents monitor Joshua when he
plays over there without his father." Father agreed that Andy and Jennifer's parents do supervise
and set boundaries for Joshua when he plays at their homes, but he believes that this is a
qualitatively different circumstance than that provided by mother.
[We could question mother's judgment with regard to placing a three year old child in an
emotionally compromised position of acceptance of an .intimate adult relationship, in a confined set
of circumstances, apart from that ofhis own parents, which he could not adequately understand.
However, on balance, there appears to be insufficient reason for any circumstances related to the
alleged abuse to be determinative of a custody decision.]
Inventory of Interpersonal Problems. Father. Although father endorsed cold/distant feelings
and social avoidance, he also endorsed a "dependent" pattern of nonassertiveness, over
accommodation, and self-sacrifice, with the friction of vindictive and controlling urges agitating
just beneath the surface. This is a rather substantial picture of inner tunnoi1: dependence in
conflict with avoidance, and accommodation in tension, with very negative promptings.
Perceptions, interpretations, and decisions are likely to be filtered through this confusing array of
emotion.
Mother. Here we also find a profile of cold/distant feelings and avoidance but without the
intensity of the remaining emotional complications.
[These observations about father's emotions are consistent with the first custody evaluation and
with previous observations in this report. Mother appears to be filtering her perceptions and
experiences through a less complicated and confusing screen.]
The data to this point in the evaluation basically reinforces the original decision to recommend
primary physical custody to mother. The information which follows also came to my attention
and seems to point in the same direction.

Potential Parent Alienation Data. Other sources of data at mother's home included messages left
by father on the phone answering machine, and alleged transcripts of phone conversations between
father and mother and father and son: [1] After consulting with colleagues, 1 am choosing not to
refer to the transcripts because even though father told me, "Teresa did say during three or four
calls that she was taping them, and maybe twice when we were exchanging Joshua," he also told
me that he never agreed to the taping, and 1 understand that there may be legal/ethical questions
about material for which there was not mutual consent. Although by not hanging up and
continuing to talk, perhaps that could be interpreted as consent. [2] However, 1 will refer to the
messages, because father voluntarily left them on tape, knowing that mother and even Joshua
might hear them and pass the information along to someone else. Father's voice is distinctive, and
there is little doubt that he is speaking.
Before referencing the phone messages, I want to mention one piece of information that mother
shared independent of giving me this material. She mentioned that father had told Joshua that
there was no money to buy a new car because mother took the money. When asked, father agreed
that he said this to Joshua. He felt that "truth" was the most important way to communicate with
the child.
[Father did not seem to have awareness that his remark was parent alienating and that finances
were an adult topic of conversation that was beyond the understanding of a three year old.]
Based on five phone messages of April 13 to which I listened when at mother's home, I asked
father the following questions, all of which should have had a "yes" response:
Do you agree that you called Teresa an "unfit mother" when she didn't have Joshua in bed by
8:30PM? Answer. "No."
Do you agree that you left a message saying that most of her "social life" was "usua1ly in the
bedroom?" Answer. "No."
Do you agree that you left messages at least twice calling her a "slut?" Answer. "No....I may
have."
Father did say to me, "I do get angry and frustrated... .... but I never made bodily threats."
[The implication of this material is that Joshua is probably exposed to parent alienating remarks
from father.]
Summary. This report may be summarized by reading the bracketed sections or by reading the
following summary of information which continues to favor mother as the primary physical
custody parent:
[1] Mother seemed much more aware of the meaning of the first evaluation and made changes
accordingly. Father seemed unaware of applying first evaluation suggestions, although he made
some changes.
GAP/CustodyEvalfJoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 8
-
,"- '_',r,
.
[2] The appearance that Joshua may be more difficult to manage in his mother's environment
should not be attributed to poor parenting skills.
[3] Mother appears to be more actively involved with extended family.
[4] Mother appears to be managing her emotions more constructively than does father, as
indicated by observation, interview, and the IIP.
[5] Alleged child abuse issues do not favor either parent, although mother could have been more
sensitive to the child's developmental vulnerability.
[6] There is evidence of parent alienating remarks by father and a lack of awareness of the child's
developmental vulnerability.
Recommendation. The recommendation again is shared legal custody and primary physical
custody to mother, but should father be given more time in the form of an additional one full week
per month until the child enters school full time? It is my professional opinion that the poor
communication between the parents and the need to adjust to another care environment at these
tender years indicate that the current school year schedule is best kept in place, while also keeping
the one extra week per month during the summer for father.

Dear Attorneys:
Introduction. I originally received written notification (8/24/00) from Lynn Y. MacBride, Esq.,
that the parties had agreed that I would be engllged to con4uct "a psychological evaluation" in this
custody matter. In subsequent phone conversations the parents agreed that adult psychological
evaluations would be conducted within the broader context of a custody evaluation. Mother
requested that the Minnesota Multiphaisic Personality Inventory be used as one of the evaluation
tools. This is a frequently used ins1.rulD.ent, and I concurred with the request.
I met with father and son on Wednesday morning, September 13, for approximately three hours.
Father completed his evaluation at my office on Tuesday morning, September 19. I met with
mother and son on Thursday morning, Septem\ler 21, for approximately three hours. Mother .
completed her evaluation at my office on Sepember 25. There were also several subsequent
phone calls with father for cJarification of data.
Assessment Tools. In-Home Observation, Adult Interviews, Personal Data Questionnaires,
Parenting Questionnaires, "Bender Motor Gestalt Test, Human Figure DraWing, Subtests from the
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-R, Inventory ofInterpetsonal Problems-64, Millon Clinical
Multiaxial Inventory-III, Minnesota Multiphaisic Personality Inventory-2, Rorschach Diagnostic
Inkblots.
Methodo10llY Note. The parents will observe that a number of criticisms of one another are not
mentioned in this report. The concerns which are mentioned are verified by parental agreero.ent or

written data or a reliable third party. When that type of verification did not exist, the criticism was
not included. 1 take this approach because it is not in the best interests of the child for the
evaluator to escalate conflict and hard feelings between the adults, and the approach a1so
IIlinimizes futerference with the main task of the evaluation which is to assess parenting skills.
Residence: Father. Father's residence was the marital home for about a year, a large colonial
style house which is part of a three year old residential area in Shippensburg, Pa. There is a.large
yard area, attractiwIy landscaped. The home is for sale, and father intends to retum to the
Chambersburg area. The home was very comfortable and adequately clean and organized during
my visit.
Joshua's room was on the second floor, and it was empty of furniture (taken by mother at the time
of the separation). The curtains had colorful reptiles, a net in one upper corner contained many
stuffed animals, and a fire truck sat on the floor. In father's bedroom a child's junior bed was
placed at the foot of father's bed.
On the first floor there is a large family room and a sun room off the dining area, and I noticed
Disney videos and baskets full of toys of alllcinds. There were also many other play items such as
a tent. A Great is Thy Faithfulness prayer plaque hung on the kitch\lIl wall, and there was a Bible
on the table in the dining room. The Franklin County Pediatric Association # was on the
refrigerator.
Residence: Mother. Mother resides in a modern apartment complex in Mechanicsburg, Pa.
There is a large yard area to the back, and a swimming pool and playground area are available.
The apartment was comfortable, organized, and clean during my visit. A closet space which
housed mother's computer work area, also coutained numerous children's videos. Other features
of the residence included a Women's DevotiOl\lll Bible, a Jl1ag11tine called Divorce Care, and many
dolls crafted by maternal grandmother. Mother showed me one that looked like Joshua which was
her favorite.
Joshua has his own room in whiCl11 observed a jU1lior bed, age appropriate books and games of all
kinds, a live gold:fish, characatures of dinosaurs on the walls, a day care singing award, numerous
examples of Joshua's art work on the walls and ceiling. abstracts of Joshua's foot prints and hand
prints, three needle work pictures celebrating Joshua's birth, a shadow outline of Joshua's body on
the closet door, and many stuffed I\llimllls. He said that he sleeps with "bunny." There was also a
series of pictures on the chest of drawers which illustrated Joshua's schedule for the day.

~AC~GRO~ INFORMATION
Personal Data: Father. Dennis is next oldest of three brothers. His own father is deceased, and
his mother lives in Syracuse, NY. The parents did not divorce. Dennis experienced a tragedy with
his father who suffered from Bipolar disorder, received electro-convulsive therapy and institutional
treatment, and eventually took his own life. Dennis did fairly wen in school with B/C marks, and

.
.~-~+;
he has two years of formal educatibn beyond high schooL He was matried to his first wife from
1972 to 1989, and he and Teresa married in 1991. When asked about the recent separation, he
said, "We stopped caring about each other......she created horrible divisions in my family ........
maybe age had something to do with it."
Dennis views his parents as hard working blue collar people who met their obligations. They
stressed financial security, "Us boys were always doing something to make ntonl;y." The parents
were strict, but father also showed affection by putting his atm.around his boys and giving hugs.
Mother was not affectionate. A "strap was often used for discipline.....there was yelling and
grounding for long periods of time. It was abusive by today's standards."
For the past 14 years Dennis has worked as a banker for F & M TlUSt. Prior to that he was a
Sales and Marketing Director for Caron International for 6 years, and he worked in the Training
and Development office of Xerox for 13 years. He lists interests as golf, reading, and fishing, and
group involvements include Kiwanis and the Church of God. He named friends as Randy and
Ken.
Personal Data: Mother. Teresa is the oldest of two siblings. Her mother lives in Kansas City,
Missouri, and her father is tw\lIlty minutes away in Kansas. The parents divorced wh\lIl Teresa
was age 10, and she lived primarily with her mother. Both parents remani.ed and still "got along
well." There were about four years when father lived out of state. Parental strengths were
identified as maintaining a.good relationship, being fair, doin$ What they thought was best, and
staying close to extended family. There were also sit down talks to give parent to child guidance.
Weaknesses were identified as being too strict with some things; for example, having to clean one's
plate. Teresa was also a "latchkey kid." Discipline at times took the form of "ten swats with a
belt....I didn't think it was abusive, but my sister did. ..
Teresa went on to attend college and received a BS degree with B/C marks from Central Missouri
State. She was matried to her first two husbands from 1986 to1987 and 1988 to1989 respectively.
She sees herself as young and immature at that tit\1e. When asked about the separation from
Dennis, she said, "He was drinking and unittvolved......called me names in front of Joshua.......one
time hurt me physically sexually......he wasn't consistently available to Joshua."
For 14 years Teresa worked for the Def\lIlse Department, and for the past three years she has been
a Budget Analyst at the Naval Supply Systems Command. She listed her interests as playing with
Joshua, reading. and church activities. She attends Aldersgate United Methodist Church. She
named friends as Helen and Cindy.
[Father was able to accept some responsibility for the separation. Both parents come from homes
where discipline was probably excessively harsh, but father appears to have more insight about it.
(However, neither parent has made child discipline an issue.) Adult intimacy problems are evident
for both in the form of multiple marriages. Both were able to name parental strengths and
shortcomings. Mother spoke more gerterously of the home enviromnent and positive family
relationships. Both have numerous personal and social interests.]

Self-report Dennis indicates that he received professional counseling in matters involving l1is son
as a teenager. For over a year he bas taken the antidepressant Paxil, and also Adderall which
'~takes the edge off attention deficit symptoms." He states, "1 work hard on trying not to ponder
the problems too much." He acknowledges "most days" feeling anxious, angty, and sad, with .
Poor partner communication. He "must have things in order most of the time." He checked the
fonowing life problem areas: marital, sociaVrecreational, lonefutess, finances, perfectionism,
job/career. At the same time he listed the present set of problems as "mildly upsetting."
Teresa sought professional help for marital issues approximately two years ago with Shirley
Broadwater, a licensed psychologist. She also told me that she was in the second week of a
Divorce Care group, and she is just beginning a Women's Caring and Sharing group. She
acknowledges feelings oflonefutess and anxiety "most days." The only life problem that she
checked was maniage, but she also rated the current problems as "severely upsetting. "
[Both haw sought help for personal problems, mother in the form of counseling and support
groups, and father in the form of medication and counseling. Father reports more intense personal
problems but, unlike mother, he minimizes the impact.]
Subtests ftom tbe W AIs.-R Two subtests which in some way measure social alertness and
intelligence were administered: Picture .Arrangement (P A) and Comprehension. The P A subtest
requires placing a series of pictures in proper social order. Both adults achieved a scaled score of
lIon P A, which is in the average range, or the 63rd percentile. On the C~hension subtest
father achieved a scaled score of 16 (Superior) and mother a scaled score of 13 (high average).
Mother's score was lower due to her inadequate responses on how to handle two emergency
situations: a fire in a movie theater, and getting lost in the forest in the day time. She also could
not interpret the saying, "Shallow brooks are noisy. "
[Both parents have excenent scores, but the edge goes to father for practical judgment and
response to emergencies.]
Bender Motor Gestalt Test The client is presented with nine simple figures for drawing and
recalL Usually this measure is llSed to screen for neurological problems, but personality features
sometimes emerge as wen. Both adults adequately arranged the figures on the page with no
overlap. Problems with rotations, perseveration, concrete representation, and angle distortion were
not in evidence. Mother's memory was excenent with seven figures recalled. Father could only
recall one:figure. He said, "It's the attention deficit thing. I make a lot of lists. "
Father's heavy penoil pressure and abrupt strokes may suggest anger and emotional tunnoiI.
Mother's tendency to draw stnall:figures, to put each of the first two :figures in a box, and to in part
proceed from the bottom to the top of the page, may suggest insecurities and surface dissociation
from strong emotional issues (repression).
[Neither behavioral hypothesis would have positive value for the child.]

Human Figure Drawing. Each parent drew a picture of Joshua. The developmental quality of
.the pictures was consistent with measured intelligence. There were no unusual features. Father
personalizedtb,e picture a little more by presenting the child in a waving stance, placing a toy
dinosaur along side, and putting "I love my daddy" on the shirt. Mother's insecurity came through
again by placing the feet of the child right on the bottom of the page as a way of anchoring the
picture.
[The edge goes to father for perceiving the child flexibly and creatively.]
lIP -64. This is a self-rating measure which attempts to read characteristics of dominance, self-
centeredness, emotiOl\lll distance, social inhibition, lack of assertiveness, excessive accommodation,
self-sacrificing attitude, intrusiveness/neediness, and their opposites. Neither PIlfent had significant
elevations on the scales as compared to peers or as compared to the intensity of the traits within
thomselves. There is some evidence that mother has a neediness which she keeps repressed, and
that father is inwardly in conflict between attitudes of dominance and accommodation.
[Neither model is favored over the other for the child.]
Rorschach. The inkblots require a report of perceptions, and they attempt to provide measures
which give insight into ptoblem-solvingstyle, The stimulus is somewhat stressful because there is
no obvious interpretation, and the client is thrown back upon hislher fundamental reaction pattern.
The interpretations below are somewhat hindered because each adult gave a minimal number of
responses. However, there are consistencies in these observations with other data.
Mother is a better every day reality tester; in other words, her perceptions tend to be similar to
those reported by her peers, while father is much more unconventional. Father tends to
overorganize and to elaborate on what he sees. Mothet tends to be conventional and to report the
obvious.
Father has access to both rational reflection and constructive emotion to problem-solve, but
disruptive emotion lies close to the surface. Mother has aCCeSS to rational reflection and the
nonnal emotion of daily interaction, but particularly difficult emotions are severely repressed and
cause inaccurate perceptions when prompted. The disruptiw emotion which constantly keeps
father in turmoil outweighs problem solving resources perhaps two to one. These factors have
greater balance in mother's profile.
While father may be aware of rather constant emotiOl\lll pain, which may often influence decisions
in a poorly managed way, mother will. be victimized by unexpected internal disruptions and by not
having sufficient access to a range of emotion for the best decision making under times of duress.
Father must deal with poorly organized internal factors, and mother must deal with repressed
internal factors. These observations are generally true for these adults, but current circumstances
also tend to exacerbate these features.
[The eli.tlCllles in these perceptual styles do not present a positive model for the child, but mother
would be an emotionally steadier parent figure on a day to day basis.}

MMPI-2. Personality inventories attempt to provide information about long standing traits of
individual beluMor and about current symptoms/reactions to present stresses. Fllth~ Father's
validity scales suggest that he did not overclaim or underclaim symptoms. He neither reported in
an overly defensive manner or in an undercontrolled manner. His responses did not result in
elevated primary scales. However, relative elevations sU@gest that he is experiencing some
indicators of depression and anxiety, particularly in the form of feelings of social alienation and
somalic symptOms. He also str\1i8les to keep the painful is$ues suppressed under the sun ace. He
may react to provocative situations with verbal aggression after unsuccessful attempts to suppress
resentment.
Mother. Mother's validity scales suggest that she will admit to common human shortcomings, but
her overall response pattern is significantly defensive on two ways of measuring that phenomenon,
and she was very unlikely to endorse items that might put her in an unfavorable light. As a result it
is quite difficult to have confidence in the profile. In spite of the defensiveness; the repression
scale was elevated, reinforcing p(e~ous observations, and she very often opts for non-traditional
feminine roles and values, consistent with her integration ofa math career and ~od. There
are some indicators in the secondary scales of immaturity and excessive distrust.
[The extremes of either model would not be helpful to the child, but Father is preferred for a less
defensive self-report.]
Millon m. Fa~er. Father's responses did not result in any scale elevations. However, unlike the
l\1MPI, the response style leaned toward presenting a socially desirable picture of self. That may
be because the Millon is weighted more heavily toward severe pathology. There were no
significant scale elevations, but relative elevations suggest stronger than average degrees of social
alienation, anxiety, and a need for order (perfectionism), all of which have been previously
mentioned in one context or another.
Mo~. Again, mother's responses strongly endorse a socially desirable picture of self. Even so,
there is a moderate elevation on the #4 scale and a mild elevation on the #7 scale. Positive featUres
associated with the 4 scale include gregarious, extroverted, and socially engaging. Under stress
these may take the form of dramatization, excessive attention seeking and acceptance needs,
manipulation, and emotional outbursts. Repression is associated with this type of personality. An
underlying fear of abandonment is hypothesized. Positive scale 7 features include polite,
conscien1ious, organized, respectful, and conforming which under stress may take the form of
rigidity, perfectionism, and a self-righteous attitude.
[As defined by significant scale elevations, father's profile is preferred.]
Problem-Solving Examples. 1 asked each parent to give me two examples of how they went
about solving a family problem. Father. [1) Father spoke first about his son beCOllling
emotionally troubled and involved with drugs in his mid-teens. Father admitted the child to
Brooklane for a month and participated in family counseling. There was a later relapse, but the
son now lives in Florida, has a good job, and is taking night classes. Father made two points, "1
chose not to look the other way," and, "I never gave up on him and now it's paying off." He said
that there is phone contact two or three times per month. [2) Dennis spoke second about his own
GAP/CustodyEvaIIJoshuaKayn 9/00 6
~="' -
~'"
-~~,
father who became depressed but was reluctant to seek help. Dennis expressed the steps which he
took as follows, "I talked with him and begged him.....I met with his doctor and attomey.....even
contemplated involuntary admission......and finally he agreed to ECT and drug therapy." Father
said, "1 was ouly 22, but no one else in the family took the steps."
MothClr. Mother views herself as using the same problem-solving style consistently, namely,
looking for a good time to talk things through: [1] She indicated that she would go into the
bathroom wh\lIl Dennis was shaving and ask him to talk to her about whatever the probletn might
be. She said, "That forced me to listen to and opened up things for discussion." [2] She further
referred to her family as one that "can g\lIlerally sit down face to face..... we don't shout." She
recalled being concerned about her younger brother's lack of work during a certain period in his
life, "We talked about fears, job interviews.....! let him know that I wasn't judging."
[Steps tak\lIl by both parents, as described, are laudatory.]
Alcohol Use. Mother believes that father had developed a problematic drinking habit prior to their
separation. The parents do not agree on how alcohol use might have effected father/son time.
Father agrees that he developed an evening habit of drinking a martini or vodka tonic and a beer,
an activity which resulted in "a little bit of euphoria. " Father has since decided that this
combination was "more potent than I wanted" and changed the habit to two beers.
[We have the acknowledgment by father of the need to go from more to less.]
Summary of the Psychological Evaluations. MPtJter is a good day to day reality tester who
appears to respond to the more painful promptings in her life with insecurity, neediness, abandon-
ment fear, manipulation, perfectionism, and repression. Father is a marginal day to day reality
tester who appears to respond to the more painful.promptings itt his life with dominance/
accommodation COllflicts, feelings ofbeing overwhelmed, verbal aggression, anxiety and somatic
sensitivity, perfectionism, and at times self-medicating with alcohol
[In the long run, who is to say which parent provides the poorer model of individual traits,
interpersonal engagement, and problem-sohing for the child. Taking each measure individually,
father's profile is modestly favored, but there is also the issue of the example of daily alcohol
consumption for the child. Also, on a. day to day bllSis the child is likely to see a more emotionally
stable self-presentation from mother.]

[Botl1 parents provide a rich desoription of personal qualities and preferred activities.]
Practical Parenting. Mother nursed the child untill5 months, and both parents have participated
in changing, feeding, dressing, bathing, playing with, and reading to the child. Neither parent hits
for discipline, aI1hougl1 father acknowledges using corporal punishment with his older children.
There are no playmates at father's home Joshua's own age, but sometimes older children in the
neighborhood will come into the yard and play with him. Father described sending out 40 letters
to Day Care centers, receiving 15-16 replies, and narrowing down the options to just a few.
Mother advised that Joshua now attends a state certified pre-schoo~ the Capital Area Children's
Center, and that his teacher has a master's degree (l saw written material on the Center.). She also
stated that her office doesn't expect her to travel and that she has three weeks of sick leave saved
and WI. weeks of vacation saved plus the potential to earn nine more vacation weeks in the next
two years.

Father has established a Trust Fund for Joshua's future, and he makes a monthly contribution to it.
Mother referred to two mutual funds which she and father had begun and said that she has a
financial planner to help her with decisions.
Father projects that he will encourage sports for Joshua, but, "It's not a must." He sees Joshua as
being "a good friend and a golf and fishing companion" in the future. He wants Joshua to learn
about faith and Christian beliefs and to have a good value system. Mother also wants Joshua to
stay involved in the church. She will emphasize focusing on academics, taking some form of
martial arts, and being exposed to traditional sports.
Mother emphasized her daily and weekly projects and activities with Joshua: building a birdhouse,
going to the butterfly garden at Hershey, cooking together, taking care of the tomatoes and flowers
together, making refrigerator magnets, and so forth. She does not have the TV on during the
week but allows one video per day on the week-ends.
[Both parents are very involved. Mother provided more examples of one to one activity. Father's
remarks again hint at some dependency on the child.]
Boundary Issues. Mother expressed some concern about Joshua sleeping in father's bed. Father
acknowledged that this happens most nights even though. Joshua may start out in his own bed
which sits at the foot of father's bed. Joshua spontaneously said to me, "I don't sleep there any
more," and when 1 asked where, he said, "In daddy's bed." Father indicated that life is painful for
him right now, "rm living day to day," and that the arrangement is "reassuring for both" father and
son. He does not intend for the sleeping together to continue for a long time, and he believes that
mother would have more right to make an issue of it if the child were of school age.
[There is again acknowledgment of sonw dependency of father upon son.]
Parenting Measures. Each parent was presented with 30 Child M,,"V,,!!ement Situations.
formulated by the examiner, each of which requires a parent decision. The children range in age
from infant to older teens. Each decision is rated on a scale from 1 to 7, poor to excenent. The
parent responses are then compared to the opinions of professionals who work with families. As
an example, father, mother, and the professionals all agree that the foUowing decision feD. in the
poor to fair range, "5yr old Becky refuses to eat dinner and must sit at the table for 15 minutes
after everyone else finishes."
Father's agreement ratio with professionals was 92% and mother's agreement ratio was 90%, both
significanliy above average. A flexibility ratio based on situations involving judgment about shared
religious practices, masturbatory beha\oior, nontraditiOl\lll sex roles, and interracial dating resulted
in 75% for father and l000iO for mother. A caution/safety ratio involving two situations of latency
age supervision and younger teen dating resulted in 50% for father and 100% for mother. A ratio
for non-harsh discipline resulted in 100% for father and 100% for mother.
[perhaps mother by a very narrow margin is preferred by this measure.]

Gay Sibling. Father indicated that mother has a "gay" brother and expressed concern about the
amount oftitne that Joshua might spend with him should the child be primarily in mother's care.
Mother said that it was true that her brother was gay. However, in her view gay does not mean
pedophile; further she does not believe that one becomes homosexua1 from environmental contact.
[Mother's views are basically consistent with those of the professional helping community at large.]
Each parent was given a list of 40 child rearing responsibilities to be judged on how family life was
conducted Prior to the S\lIlatatiOl!. Both adults gave mother an equal or prinuuy responsibility
rating more than 500,,(, of the time. They gave her credit for being more supportive of education,
more influential in teaching manners, more likely to get up in the middle of the night when the
<;hild is sick, more even handed and reliable in discipline practices, a more patient list\lIler, and a
more frequent commU1licator with the child. Both agree that each was equally encouraging of
sociaJization.
[This measure favors mother.]
Issues qf Previous Parenting. Mother has some concerns about the quality of the relationship
between father and his older children. Chris was 14 and Kathy 19 when Dennis and Teresa got
together. Chris was living primarily with his father, and Kathy lived primarily with her mother.
Chris became Involved with drugs as a teen ager, but Teresa said that she takes some responsibility
because she was too demanding on Pennis' time.
But Teresa further indicated that she and father made a trip to Florida in Februa1y to see the
children, that Chris ref\.Jsed to talk to his father, that father engaged in name calling of Kathy, and
that they returned home early by plane rather than continue the visit. Father agreed that they came
home early, that Chris had refused to talk to him (over money issues), and that he called Kathy an
ugly name to Teresa but not to Kathy's face. Father describes his relationship with Chris over the
years as "volatile." He said that he was "etema1ly ashamed" of the name calling. There has since
been correspondllIlce of apology, and he has helped Chris buy a car. When descn'bing these
events to me father placed blame on Kathy for Chris not talking to him and on Teresa for Kathy
finding out about the name calling.
[As an example of father's behavior, these events appear to represent emotional dyscontrol,
delayed problem-resolulion, remorseful feeling, and minimizing self-responsibility in the context of
conflict between parent and child.]
Mother expfessedfurther concern that even when father's dang/ttm" was in her twenties, he was
still buying underwear for her as gifis. The parents do not agree if the behavior was inappropriate.
Father acknowledges that this was true at .Christmas when Kathy was in college, when among
fifteen to twenty gifts he might send to meet various needs and requests, underwear in the form of
bras, panties, and boxer shorts were included. Kathy's mother did the same.
[Although it doesn't have to be associated with a negative meaning, this practice most likely would
be considered unusual and infrequent by most opposite sex fathers.]

In-Home Observation: Father, Upon my arrival father was standing outside the home waiting.
Joshua was initially appropriately reserved with a stranger but then warmed up and became quite
talkative. He showed me his room and bed. Child and family pictures were in full view in the
home, including a picture of mother. Joshua displayed a mendly manner and engaging smile.
Throughout the morning Joshua chattered with his father who attended to all needs that arose and
made suggestion for play. He saw that Joshua got to the bathroom, saying, "He hasn't had an
accident in a long time." Father took time from his paper worK to blow bubbles with Joshua and
to re$pOnd to other requests. Joshua was initially quite attention seeking but became considerably
less so as the newness of the circumstances wore off. Father made it a point to keep Joshua in the
same area as himself. At a point father gave Joshua a sip from his coffee cup. Joshua sang and
recited as he entertained himself. At a certain point he left the sun room with his dad and came
into the play room area where he and I interacted with his play dinosaurs.
For a time after finishing his paper wOIk, father held Joshua in his lap and they colored together.
Throughout the morning father demonstrated patience, set boundaries, behaved in a loving and
caring manner toward Joshua, used words with Joshua in various clever ways, and helped the child
to be perceptive about his environment. As I interviewed father, he periodically checked on
Joshua's activity and took care of potty needs. He redirected the child when he became excessively
noisy or intrusive. At one point he was going to put in a video but decided against it. He
encouraged Joshua to go out into the yard and swing his bat. The child was within eyesight.
Joshua picked some "flowers" and brought them to us. Father showed me the flower garden
where they worked together.
~othfil'. Joshua remembered me from the previous visit, exbibitedthe same manner and behavior
as before, and showed his room to me. Child and family pictures were in full view in the home,
but there was not an obvious picture offather. Mother prepared a play area on the floor and sat
down on the floor with Joshua as she did her paper work. She fielded all of Joshua's comments
and requests and talked to hb,n quietly, calmly, and supportively as he chattered and played. She
took time to get him some grapes for a snack. At a point in time Joshua and I again played with
his dinosaurs as mother completed the paper work. As needed mother would adopt an instruc1ive
mode with Joshua, explaining his choices and what would happen with each choice.
During mother's interview, Joshua became mildly cranky and demanding, and she put in a video
which he eqjoyed. During some additional intenuptions she successfully combined praise with
redirection. Joshua had a bowel accident which mother handled with patience, acceptance, and
quiet reassurance, and he was only mildly upset. Joshua was otherwise able to entertain himself in
a manner~ to his behavior at father's home. Mother showed me the flower garden that she
and Joshua worked on together.
[Joshua was somewhat crankier at mother's home, and he had the accident. These things could
have happened at least in part because I was making a second visit and depriving Joshua of parent
time again. The surroundings were also somewhat more coPfiJ>ing Father refrained from using a
video as a behavior management tool. He also had mother's picture in full view. Both adults
respond to Joshua with an excellent parenting manner.]

By these measures and interpretations, mother is the prefetl'ed parent by a weighted score of 18 to
15 and by a specific kem score of 14.0 to 11.5. With regard to statutory guidelines: [1] The child's
preference, due to age, cannot be stated, [2] Harshness of discipline is not an issue. [3] Father is
more likely to be g\lIlerous in the amount of custody time given to the other parent.
SecondlU"Y Conclusion. These observations should in no way be considered an endorsement for
mother to move the child out of state, which is one of father's {ears, but which mother insists that
she would not do so long as father and son have a good relationship. Joshua is obviously very
comfortable and happy when with his father.
SecondlU"Y Recommendation. Each parent could benefit from counseling to address various
personal issues.
Primary Recommendation. Joint legal custody and primary physical custody to mother.
Father's physical custody should include as a minimum: eveJ:y other week-end, including any
Mondayand/or Friday that he does not work, one evening for several hours each week, and equal
time during holidays, school vacations, and summer.

COUNT II - CHILD CUSTODY
10. Plaintiff incorporates herein the prior paragraphs by reference.
11. Plaintiff seeks a court order awarding her shared legal and pnmary
physical custody of the parties' son, Joshua Ryan Kayn, born March 5, 1997,
presently age 3, with whom she is presently residing. Joshua was born to the
marriage of the parties.
12. Joshua is presently in the physical custody of his mother.
13. During his life, the child has resided with the following persons at the
following addresses: from birth to May 1999: with Dennis and Teresa Kayn at 204
Minnich Road, Chambersburg, Franklin County, P A 17201; from May 1999 - April
2000, with Dennis and Teresa Kayn at 247 Chestnut Drive, Shippensburg,
Cumberland County, PA 17257; from April 2000 - with Teresa Kayn, at 469 Brook
Circle, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
14. The parties have been discussing separation and have begun
arrangements to sell the marital home. Mother intends to remain with the child in
Cumberland County. The future plans of Father are unknown.
15. Father has threatened Mother on several occasions that if she interferes
with his custody of Joshua, he will remove Joshua from the area, and relocate to
another country.
16. Mother moved from the marital home with Joshua but does not wish to
deprive Father of shared legal custody or partial physical custody or visitation
rights with regard to his son. Mother fears that if there is no Order of Court
establishing the rights of both parties to custody of the child she may be totally
deprived of his custody by father and the child's schedule of care will be totally
disrupted.
~,~, _c_ "~,~,,,,_,,,,,.,...,~o,,~,^__~,__",,, ><"",.,.,~~ .~-
- ~ . ,-" - .. ^".~ ,,-'_ ~'" ,-". C';j
17. The parties have been unable to agree upon terms for custody of their son
after their separation. Mother is a loving parent who has always been the primary
caretaker of the child since his birth. Over the past year, the child has traveled to
work with mother each day from the marital home in Shippensburg to his day care
provider located near Mother's work at the Navy Depot in Mechanicsburg. This
arrangement was set up in order to facilitate Mother's availability in the event of
her son's need for her during the workday. On a daily basis, Father does not dress
or feed the child in the morning and does not eat dinner with his son. Mother is
responsible for all arrangements as to child care for the child, feeding him,
arranging for his medical care, purchasing his clothes, changing him, bathing him,
caring for him during non-work hours, etc.
18. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or in another capacity,
in other litigation concerning the custody of the child in this or another court.
19. Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding concerning the
children pending in a court of this Commonwealth.
20. Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has
physical custody of the child or claims to have custody or visitation rights with
respect to the child.
21. Mother believes that she is best able to provide a stable loving home for
her son and that his best interest and permanent welfare will be served by granting
the relief request and awarding her primary physical custody of Joshua, awarding
Father partial physical custody for the purpose of visitation, and granting the
parties shared legal custody of the child.
22. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not been terminated

and the person who has physical custody of the child has been named as parties to
this action.
23. Plaintiff request this Court to enter an Order granting the parties shared
legal custody of the child, and granting her primary physical custody of Joshua
subject to the grant of partial physical custody to Defendant.
COUNT II - EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
24. Plaintiff incorporates the prior paragraphs by reference.
25. The parties are the owners of personal property subject to equitable
distribution between them as marital property.
26. Plaintiff requests the Court to equitably divide such items of marital
property between them.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff requests this Court to:
a. Enter a final Decree of Divorce divorcing the Plaintiff from the
Defendant;
b. Award the parties shared legal custody and award the Plaintiff
primary physical custody of the parties' minor child subject to
reasonable visitation with the Defendant; and
c. Grant equitable distribution of the marital property of the parties;

DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
Defendant father, Dennis R. Kayn, by his counsel, Taylor P. Andrews, Esq., respectfully
represents the following in support of this motion for special relief:
1. This Court entered a Temporary Custody Order in the above captioned case on
May 12, 2000. This order was amended on August 11,2000. Copies of the orders are attached
hereto as Exhibit A and B.
2. In accordance with the above referenced order, Father obtained custody of Joshua
Kayn for a midweek visit on Tuesday, February 6,2001.
3. When Father bathed Joshua on February 6, 200l, Father noticed an injury to
Joshua's penis. Joshua reported that the injury resulted from an intentional act by a male
companion ofJoshua's mother, the above named Plaintiff.
4. Father took Joshua to the local hospital for examination. The report by Joshua
was relayed to police authorities and father believes also, possibly to Child Protective Services.
An investigation into the report by Joshua has commenced.
5. Out of concern for Joshua's well-being and the integrity of the investigation into
Joshua's injury Father did not return Joshua to mother on Wednesday morning.
6. Father would like to keep custody ofJoshua until the reports ofJoshua's injury
are investigated, and depending upon the results of the investigation, until Father has an
opportunity to request a change in the Temporary Order of Custody. .
:]-~
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court to grant special relief by ordering
that Defendant Dennis R. Kayn, shall keep custody of Joshua R. Kayn until such time as the
investigation by Child Protective Services is concluded and this Court shall have entered an
order reinstating the Temporary Custody Order of May 12, 2000 as amended in August, or shall
have entered a new order superceding the Temporary Custody Order of May 12, 2000 as
amended in August.

DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
Defendant father, Dennis R. Kayn, by his counsel, Taylor P. Andrews, Esq., respectfully
represents the following in support of this motion for special relief:
1. This Court entered a Temporary Custody Order in the above captioned case on
May 12, 2000. This orqer was amended on August II, 2000. Copies of the orders are attached
hereto as Exhibit A and B.
2. In accordance with the above referenced order, Father obtained custody of Joshua
Kayn for a midweek visit on Tuesday, February 6, 2001.
3. When Father bathed Joshua on February 6, 2001, Father noticed an injury to
Joshua's penis. Joshua reported that the injury resulted from an intentional act by a male
companion of Joshua's mother, the above named Plaintiff.
4. Father took Joshua to the local hospital for examination. The report by Joshua
was relayed to police authorities and father believes also, possibly to Child Protective Services.
An investigation into the report by Joshua has commenced.
5. Out of concern for Joshua's well-being and the integrity of the investigation into
Joshua's injury Father did not return Joshua to mother on Wednesday morning.
6. Father would like to keep custody of Joshua until the reports of Joshua's injury
are investigated, and depending upon the results of the investigation, until Father has an
opportunity to request a change in the Temporary Order of Custody.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court to grant special relief by ordering
that Defendant Dennis R. Kayn, shall keep custody of Joshua R. Kayn until such time as the
investigation by Child Protective Services is concluded and this Court shall have entered an
order reinstating the Temporary Custody Order of May 12, 2000 as amended in August, or shall
have entered a new order superceding the Temporary Custody Order of May 12, 2000 as
amended in August.

v.
NO. 2000-2469 CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DENNIS R. KA YN,
Defendant
IN CUSTODY
DEFENDANT (FATHER)'S HEARING MEMORANDUM
I. WITNESSES:
Dennis R. Kayn; Father will testify essentially as set forth herein with regard to the basic
background facts and the issues as describe below.
II. FACTS:
Father was born November 5, 1945 and so is presently 55 years of age.
Mother was born November 5,1963 and so is presently 37 years of age.
The parties married on September 20, 1991. ltwasFather's second marriage, Mother's third.
They lived and worked in Chambersburg - Father at a bank (F & M Trust Company) and Mother at
Letterkenney Army Depot
Their only child, Joshua Ryan Kayn, was born March 5, 1997. At about that time, Mother's
job was abolished at Letterkenney and she elected a substitute position at the Mechanicsburg Naval
Depot The distance from their first marital residence in Chambersburg to the Mechanicsburg Naval
Depot is approximately 60 miles. Father continues to work at the Chambersburg bank.
The parties decided to build a house in Shippensburg following the birth of their son to
reduce Mother's daily commute. The new marital residence in Shippensburg is about 15 miles
closer to where Mother works in Mechanicsburg than the previous marital residence in
Chambersburg. Father urged Mother to explore opportunities closer to home to reduce travel;
however Mother liked her job in Mechanicsburg and decided to stay there.
L---
JUt 2 7 2001
When Mother began her job in Mechanicsburg in approximately June of 1997, Father
became the primary homemaker and primary nurturing parent This continued from the time Joshua
was three months through the age oftwo.
On April 15, 2000, Mother suddenly and unexpectedly left the new marital residence in
Shippensburg and moved into an apartment in Mechanicsburg, taking Joshua with her.
III. PROCEDURAL HISTORY:
Upon moving to Mechanicsburg, Mother then filed a Complaint for Custody in Cumberland
County Court; requesting primary custody. Father opposed this, and wanted primary custody of
Joshua in himself. Pending a decision by the Court regarding custody, and an Order to see his son,
Father agreed to a Temporary Custody Order which was entered on May 12,2000 by Stipulation of
the parties. Mother would not allow Father to see Joshua until a Temporary Custody Order was
signed. The Temporary Custody Order essentially provided Father with every other weekend, plus
one weekday overnight As it turned out, this arrangement has essentially continued until the
present
On October 8, 2000, the Custody Conciliation Conference occurred pursuant to Mother's
Custody Complaint Although represented by counsel who met with the Conciliator, Father never
met with the Conciliator, nor participated personally in the Conciliation Conference. Counsel
apparently agreed to a minor modification of the Temporary Custody Order. Father left the
Conciliation Conference under the impression that a hearing would then be scheduled by the Court
to resolve custody; however, Father obviously misunderstood the procedure and an Order was
entered August 11, 2000 pursuant to the Conciliation Conference Report, making the minor change,
but otherwise leaving the Temporary Custody Order in effect
Following the Conciliation Conference, an independent custody evaluation was done by
Eugene H. Stecher, M.A. in Chambersburg in September, 2000. Mr. Stecher issued a report dated
October 5, 2000, in which he recommended that Mother have primary custody.
Upon receipt of the custody evaluation, Father was given the impression that the result ofthe
evaluation was essentially binding as far as custody and there would not be a hearing. So he let the
matter go and continued to follow the Temporary Custody Order of May 12, 2000.
Paragraph 7 of the May 12, 2000 Temporary Custody Order provided;
During periods of physical custody, neither Dennis nor Teresa will
exercise physical custody overnight in the presence of a third party of
the opposite sex not related by blood or marriage.
Earlier this year, Father discovered that, on at least two occasions, Mother had violated that
provision with a Naval Department employee, had lied to Father about it, and had solicited Joshua
to lie to Father about it too. Thereafter, Father filed a Motion for Special Relief. On February 9,
2001, the Court entered an Order which scheduled a hearing for March 22,2001. On advice of
counsel, Father discontinued that proceeding and instead filed the instant Petition for Contempt and
Modification of Custody that is presently before the Court as there are several issues on which the
parties are unable to agree.
IV. ISSUES:
a. Transportation.
Father is driving about 925 miles per month and Mother about 120 miles per month for
transportation.
It is 40 miles one way from Father's home in Shippensburg to Joshua's day care in
Mechanicsburg and 55 miles from Father's workplace. The round trip is about 95 miles and takes
about an hour and 40 minutes each Wednesday. On weekends when the parties share transportation,
they meet at a McDonald's on Exit 13 ofI-81 which involves a drive of about 30 minutes (one way)
for each ofthem. Father has a 1989 Buick Regal that currently has in excess of200,000 miles. The
vehicle is unreliable and has developed a series of mechanical problems that needed to be repaired
and he is unable to buy a better car in view ofthe high amount of child support and $1 ,OOO.OO/month
mortgage that he is currently paying.
Father has difficulty with night vision. He can drive safely on interstates where the traffic
is essentially going one way, but gets blinded by oncoming headlights. The weekday visits, where
Father does all the driving are particularly physically demanding; recently, Father fell asleep on
Interstate 81 while driving home from dropping Joshua off at daycare, finding himself in the medial
barrier.
Father believes that, in view of his driving difficulty, and in view ofthe fact that the driving
was due entirely to Mother's decision to live and work in Mechanicsburg, the transportation
responsibilities should fall on Mother.
b. Contempt.
Father has religious and moral convictions against adultery. The provision ofthe Temporary
Custody Order, referred to above, which prohibits paramours staying overnight was done at Father's
insistence. He recognizes and confesses the mistake he made by entering an affair with Mother while
she was still married to her second husband.
More important than Father's own beliefs, is his concern ofthe impact of having another man
(or other men) stay in the house with Mother will have on Joshua. Father has no concern with
Mother having a relationship with other men; his only concern is the message that sends to his son
and how this exposure may result in troubling memories later on. Father feels that Joshua's well
being is of the utmost importance and both parents must place Joshua and his needs above any other
people or activities.
Father requests that the existing prohibition against co-habitation in the presence of his son
be continued and enforced.
c. Change of Custody.
In September of 2002, Joshua will start kindergarten. Mother has had primary custody for
the past year, with Father relegated to every other weekend and one weekday overnight Although
the weekday overnight has been difficult because Father does all the transportation, he has done it
because he feels that two weeks without seeing his son is too long. With Mother living in
Mechanicsburg, and Father living in Shippensburg, it seems likely that one party will be limited to
every other weekend during the school year beginning the end of August, 2002 depending on the
location of the school. Because of this, and for the reasons referred to above, Father requests that
he be given primary physical custody at this time with the understanding that custody will be
reviewed the summer of 2002 to make any changes necessary for when Joshua starts school.
Alternatively, Father requests an equal custody arrangement For a pre-school child, and
particularly one who has had a close relationship with his Father, there is no reason why this should
- ",..
not be beneficial for this child because it will not be possible once the child starts school in
September of2002.
Alternatively, Father requests that the custody arrangement of the past two months be
continued. At the Conciliation Conference, it was recommended that one of Father's weekend
visitations be expanded to one week each month.
d. Holidays.
Father requests that the parties alternate the following major holidays. These are holidays
which are recognized by the parties' respective employers;
1. Christmas/New Year's
Date; July 27, 2001
11. President's Day
111. Martin Luther King Day

: IN CUSTODY

PLAINTIFF'S PRE-HEARING MEMORANDUM
This Pre-hearing Memorandum is submitted pursuant to the May 29, 2001 Court Order of
Hon. J. Wesley Oler, Jr., in advance of the custody hearing set for August 2, 2001 on Father's
Petition for Contempt and Modification of Custody Order.
A. History of custody in this case:
This case involves the custody of 4-year old Joshua Ryan Kayn, born March 5, 1997. On
April 30, 2001, Father filed the Petition which is presently before the Court. This is the first hearing
in this matter; prior custody issues were settled by agreement of the parties.
Joshua was born to the marriage of the parties, and is their only child.' From birth until age
3, the child lived with both parents. In April 2000, the parties separated, and Mother and Joshua
moved from the marital home. Since that time, Joshua has resided primarily with Mother, who lives
and works in Mechanicsburg. Joshua spends time with Father, who lives in Shippensburg and
works in Chambersburg, on alternate weekends, for one weekday evening and overnight per week,
and for additional shared holiday and vacation periods.
Custody terms initially determined by written stipulation, were adopted in the Temporary
Custody Order of May 12, 2000. By its terms, the parties share legal and physical custody, with
Mother having actual primary physical custody, as indicated above. The Stipulation prohibits either
parent from exercising physical custody overnight in the presence of an unrelated third party of the
1 Mother has no other children. Father has two other grown children by a prior marriage.
~ J~""~,,"i
-.
opposite sex, and also provides that neither party shall make disparaging or negative remarks
concerning the other parent.
On August 8, 2000, an initial conciliation conference was held before Hubert X. Gilroy, Esq.
At that time, the parties agreed to modify their custody stipulation to extend Father's alternating
weekend visits from Sunday evenings to Monday mornings at 7:00 a.m., and to allow the parties to
modify transportation arrangements by written agreement. A Court Order of August 11, 2000, was
entered on the parties' agreement.
On February 7, 2001, Father filed a Motion for Special Relief seeking an immediate change
in primary custody from Father to Moti;Jer alleging that JO$t1ua had been abused by Mother's
boyfriend, Scott Cohen, and admitting that Father was withholding Joshua from Mother contrary to
the existing Court Order. After conference with counsel, this Court denied Father's request for
special relief, but set a hearing on the Motion. Upon consent of counsel, pending such hearing, the
Court directed that Mother "shall not permit Scott Cohen to be alone with the child pending further
Order of Court." Father's allegations were investigated by Cumberland County Children and Youth
Services which determined the allegations were unfounded. Because Scott Cohen is a Lieutenant
Commander [LCDR] on active duty in the US Navy, the charges were also investigated by the
United States Navy Criminal Investigative Services, (NCIS) Domestic Violence Unit, which found no
merit to the charges and no basis for any further action. On March 15,2001, Father sought leave
of Court to withdraw his Motion for Special Relief and to cancel the hearing set on his allegations.
On April 30, 2001, Father filed the instant Petition for Contempt and Modification of Custody
Order. Father's Petition asks the Court to allow the parties to equally share in the custody of the
child on alternating weeks and to enforce the Order as to non-relative male visitors. An Answer to
the Petition has been filed by Mother.
At a conciliation conference set on Father's Petition, the parties agreed to modify the night
of the weekday visit and to arrange for Father to have custody of Joshua for three one-week work
2
"
vacation periods during the months of June, July and August 2001. A court Order issued on May
29, 2001, set a hearing on the custody petition of Father and claims of violations of the prior Orders
and directed the parties to cooperate if either retained an evaluator prior to the hearing.
B. Issues before the Court:
Father seeks to change the present custody arrangement to increase his time with Joshua.
As set forth in his Petition he seeks to have custody of Joshua on alternate weeks. The issue
before the Court is whether, under the circumstances, it is in the child's best interests to continue
the status quo, with Joshua primarily in Mother's custody, or to increase Father's time with Joshua.
Father further seeks to enforce the provision of the original stipulation for a temporary order
which prohibited Mother from having non-relative male overnight guests during custody periods.
Father is also concerned about the cost of the day care attended by Joshua.
Mother believes that the current primary custody arrangement is in the best interest of
Joshua and should remain as is. Mother has always been the primary caretaker of Joshua from
the time of his birth, and this has continued through the separation of the parties. Mother has
always been more active with regard to health issues or day care concerns of Joshua. Mother
believes she is better able than Father to continue to provide Joshua with a stable home
environment directed to the child's needs. She believes that she is better able than Father to
provide Joshua with a model for a positive attitude toward both parents, and better able to place the
child's needs before her own. Mother has shown that she is willing to accommodate Father's
requests for increased time with Joshua and to regularly accommodate herself to Father's requests
for visitation time or date changes.
Mother believes that Father's frequent remarks in front of Joshua, including remarks made
in telephone messages left on her tape machine, which insult and criticize Mother, are contrary to
the best interest of Joshua to learn to love and respect both his parents. The disrespectful remarks
violate the stipulation of the parties and the court order adopting its terms. Mother seeks the
3
"",,-
'.
Court's direction of compliance with the terms of the Order.
Mother believes that after a year of separation the parties have moved on with their
personal lives and it is not necessary to continue to preclude overnight custody in the presence of a
companion of Mother or Father.
Father has suggested no valid reason for changing the current status quo of the child during
the work week and increasing his time to an equal share in Joshua's custody. The concerns
suggested in his Petition - the great expense of the day care utilized by Mother, and the weekend
visits with Mother's boyfriend while Joshua was in Mother's custody - do not warrant a change in
the current schedule, and the established routine of Joshua at his current young age.
The evidence will show that Father's allegations of misconduct by Scott Cohen are
unfounded, and without any credible corroboration.
In September 2000, upon the agreement of the parties, Eugene H. Stecher, M.A., Licensed
Psychologist, of Guidance Associates of PA, performed a custody evaluation in this matter involving
an in-home evaluation and individually administered psychological evaluation of each parent. In his
report dated October 5, 2000, Mr. Stecher recommended that the parties exercise joint legal
custody, with primary physical custody for Mother, and liberal partial custody for Father. He also
suggested individual counseling for each parent. The cost of the evaluation was shared by the
parties.
In June 2001, upon the request of Father, Mr. Stecher performed a second evaluation, at
the request and expense of Father. In his report dated July 9, 2001, Mr. Stecher reaffirmed his
prior recommendations. He noted that Mother had acted upon his prior recommendation for
counseling, and Father had not. In his reports, Mr. Stecher discussed questions related to Father's
use of alcohol, and the continued pattern of Father sleeping in the same bed as his son. Mr.
Stecher also observed that Joshua is probably exposed to parent alienating remarks from Father
which insult Mother or hold her out in a negative light.
4
~w
,~
.~ .-
Mr. Stecher specifically recommended that Father not be given more time - not even in the
form of an additional one full week per month until the child enters school full time.
C. Witnesses to be called by Mother: Mother anticipates calling the following witnesses;
1. Teresa Kayn - Mother: Mother will testify about Joshua's daily routine, his child care, his
well-being, and her role as his primary caretaker since birth. She will testify regarding their
current home, how the custody arrangement since separation has worked and not worked,
and how the child relates to herself, her family, neighbors, friends, day care provider, etc.
She will discuss concerns that have arisen, based upon things the child, and other parties
have said to her, and to others, and her observations of the child. She will discuss what
steps she has taken to assure Joshua's well-being. She will testify as to her difficulties in
communicating with Father, attitudes and actions of Father and his family towards her and
Joshua, and her relationship with her own family. She will testify about Father's use of
alcohol and her concern about its effect on his ability to provide safe appropriate care for
Joshua. She will present other testimony relevant to the determination of custody. She will
testify regarding her employment, her after work activities, her counseling.
Mother will testify regarding her relationship with Scott Cohen, and the incident of alleged
abuse.
Mother will testify regarding parent alienating remarks made by Father about her in front of
Joshua and her concerns about the effect of such remarks, in light of her own experience.
2. Eugene Stecher - Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania, 473 Lincoln Way East,
Chambersburg, PA 17201, Custody Evaluator: Mr. Stecher will be called to testify as a
Expert Witness who has performed two custody evaluations of the matter, the second of
which was performed as Father's witness. Mr. Stecher will be asked to report his findings
and conclusions as set forth in his reports of October 5,2000 and July 9, 2001.
3. Gina Capriotti - Capital Area Children's Center, 44 South 38'h Street Camp Hill, PA
17011, Director, Day Care Program: Ms. Capriotti is Director of the day care program
attended by Joshua. Ms. Capriotti will testify regarding child's day care program, his well-
being, her contacts and observations of Joshua and his parents.

Tennant are teachers at the day care program assigned to Joshwa's class. Ms. Thomas
or Ms. Tennant will testify regarding child's day care program, his well-being, contacts

Springs, MO, but has regularly visited her daughter over the years during the parties'
marriage and since their separation. She will testify regarding her observations of her
daughter and son-in-law as caretakers of Joshua, and about Joshua's well-being. She

".
and statements made to her directly by Father and through Joshua during telephone
conversations. She will report on statements made to her by Joshua about Father's
conduct and comments about Mother.

7. Reverend Lucretia Hurley Browning - Counselor of Mother: Rev. Browning is a pastor
and a counselor affiliated with First United Methodist Church who has been working with
Mother on issues related to Mother's parentin9, as recommended by Mr. Stecher.
Mother reserves the right to amend this list and to call additional witnesses as it becomes
necessary to develop this case further. Due to his young age, Mother does not propose that
Joshua be asked to testify.
Proposed Resolution:
Mother proposes that the Court enter a Custody Order which basically confirms the status
quo as follows:
1. The parties be awarded shared legal custody of Joshua.
Z. Mother be awarded primary physical custody of Joshua.
3. Father be granted significant periods of partial physical custody, according to the following
schedule:
a. Father shall have physical custody of Joshua on alternate weekends, from Friday
evening through Monday morning - extending through Tuesday morning, if Monday is a
work/school holiday. When Joshua begins school, the weekend visits will end on
Sunday evenings, or Monday evenings if Monday is a work/school holiday.
b. Until such time as Joshua begins kindergarten, Father will have custody each week
from Wednesday afternoon until Thursday morning, with Father picking Joshua up and
returning him to his day care program. When Joshua begins school, the weekday
overnights will cease.
6
"~
~,
".
c. Father shall have the right to custody for up to four additional one-week periods each
calendar year, three of which shall be taken, one week each month, during June, July
and August. The one week periods shall be taken during school breaks, and during
Father's work vacations. These one week periods shall not be scheduled over Mother's
regularly scheduled weekends or holidays, or at the times of her previously scheduled
vacation weeks, if Father had prior written notice of such vacation plans.
4. Mother shall also have the right to take up to four weeks of vacation each year with Joshua.
These one week periods shall not be scheduled over Father's regularly scheduled
weekends or holidays, or at the times of her previously scheduled vacation weeks, if Mother
had prior written notice of such vacation plans. During those weeks. Father shall not be
entitled to his regular weeknight visitation.
5. There shall be no ongoing prohibition of overnight guests of the opposite sex during periods
of custody.
6. The current prohibition against either party attempting to undermine the mutual love and
affection the child has for the other parent shall continue. Likewise, the parties should be
obliged to continue to hold out the other parent as one to whom the child should show love
and respect.

7. Admitted. By way of further response, it is averred that the Order of May 12, 2000, was
entered on agreement of the parties, upon the expectation that it was only for a temporary
period pending a conciliation conference set at that time for August 4, 2000. At the time of the
Order, the parties had only recently separated and neither party was involved in a romantic
relationship with anyone else. Both parties were interested in assuring that the transition for
Joshua was as non-disruptive as possible.
8. Admitted that Mother visited on the weekend of February 1, 2001, with a non-relative male,
and that she was accompanied by Joshua during the visit. It is denied that the said party is known
only to Father as "Cohen," as the party is identified as "Scott Cohen" in the Order of this Court dated
February 7,2001, entered on Father's Motion for Special Relief.
By way of further response, after the separation of the parties, Mother became friendly and
subsequently romantically involved with Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Scott Cohen, a U.S. Navy
Officer, who in February 2001 was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA. As that relationship developed,
Mother believed that it was appropriate to take Joshua along with her for a weekend visit.
9. Denied. It is denied that the male is unknown to Father, as aforesaid. It is further denied
that Scott Cohen supervised the child and it is denied that he physically disciplined the child. To the
contrary, it is averred that Father has made repeated unfounded claims against Scott Cohen, a
Commander in the United States Navy, stationed in Virginia Beach, VA.
10. Admitted that on Sunday, April 1, 2001, LCDR Cohen visited Mother's residence in
Mechanicsburg for a few hours during the afternoon while the child was in Mother's custody.
Denied that LCDR Cohen visited for the weekend or on March 31, 2001. LCDR Cohen did not
stay overnight at Mother's home.
11. Admitted.
12. Admitted that Joshua is in childcare during the time Mother is at work. Denied that it is
at "great expense" to Mother or to Father. To the contrary, it is averred that the cost of daycare
of $114 per week is reasonable for the time and quality of care provided and the nature of the
2
'-",,-'--- ,'"
-<~' ,
",- -
, ;.~ lL';i
program offered. The expense is well within the means of the parties whose joint gross annual
income as of 1999 was over $135,000.
13. No answer required as the averment sets forth a prayer for relief.
NEW MATTER
By way of further response, Mother avers that
14. The parties have now been separated for over a year, and Joshua has had the
opportunity to adjust to his present situation. The parties have moved on in their lives and there
is no ongoing reason for precluding the exercise of overnight custody in the presence of a third
party of the opposite sex.
15. Father has made allegations against Mother and Scott Cohen which were set forth in
Defendant's Motion for Special Relief filed with this Court. In that Motion filed February 7, 2001,
Father admitted he was withholding Joshua from Mother contrary to the existing Court Order. He
sought an immediate change in primary custody from Mother to Father. After conference with
counsel, this Court denied Father's request for special relief, but set a hearing on the Motion. Upon
consent of counsel, pending such hearing, the Court directed that Mother "shall not permit Scott
Cohen to be alone with the child pending further Order of Court."
16. Father's allegations were investigated by Cumberland County Children and Youth Services
which determined the allegations were unfounded, and, because they involved LCDR Cohen, were
also investigated by the United States Navy Criminal Investigative Services, (NCIS) Domestic
Violence Unit, which found no merit to the charges and no basis for any further action.
17. On March 15 2001, Father sought leave of Court to withdraw his Motion for Special
Relief and to cancel the hearing set on his allegations.
18. It would not be in the best interest of Joshua to modify the current primary custody
arrangement at this time.
19. The parties live and work at a considerable distance from each other, Mother works in
Mechanicsburg and Father works in Chambersburg. A shared custody arrangement would
3
,,-
'>T~' .
--',-
~, ""0 ",- _'O'~~
either require that Joshua be in two separate day care programs or spend the day at a
considerable distance from his primary custodian half the time. To change or split day care for
Joshua would be disruptive to his current arrangement, where he has been placed upon the
consent of both parties, for the last two years. The daycare placement has been a stable factor
in Joshua's life.
20. If Joshua were to be enrolled at his present daycare program on alternate weeks, the
cost of care for such program would not be reduced, as, in order to reserve his place at the
center, Mother would continue to be responsible for Joshua's full tuition for those weeks, even if
he attends only every other week.
21. Mother isa loving parent who has been providing Joshua with a stable home
environment and Joshua has been doing well in her primary care. She has attempted to assure
Father's regular participation in Joshua's life and has modified her schedule on multiple
occasions to accommodate his requests for changes in visitation times or days or transportation
arrangements.
22. A change in the present primary physical custody arrangement would not be beneficial
to Joshua. Upon the agreement of the parties, Eugene H. Stecher, MA, Licensed Psychologist,
Guidance Associates of PA, conducted a psychological evaluation of the parties in this custody
matter. His report included a Primary Recommendation that primary physical custody be awarded
to Mother.
23. The present custody arrangement has existed with Father's consent over the last year.
There is no reason why a change at this time would be in the best interest of Joshua. To the
contrary, it would disruptive to him and contrary to his well-being.
24. Paragraph 8 of the Order of May 12, 2000 states:
Neither party shall attempt to undermine the mutual love and affection the child has for the
other parent, and neither party shall, in the presence of the child, make any disparaging or
negative remarks concerning the other parent. Both parties shall hold out the other parent
as one to whom the child should show respect and love.
4
,~."
.
~-,,' ~- -
25. Father has repeatedly ignored this provision which was entered on the Stipulation of the
parties. Father has criticized Mother to the child, has made disparaging and negative remarks
about Mother to the child, and has on numerous occasions left insulting and derogatory
messages about Mother on her telephone answering machine, with every reason to expect that
it was likely that Joshua would overhear the telephone messages when they were played back.
Father has called Mother such names as "slut" in these messages, has repeatedly announced
that Mother is unfit, and that she is failing to meet her parental responsibilities.
26. Father has ignored paragraph 8 of the May 12, 2000 Order on multiple occasions. After
a visit with Father, Joshua reported that his Daddy said that his mother is bad, that she isn't
going to heaven, that she has lied to the Judge. After screaming at Mother, Father has advised
Mother that he told Joshua that it was Mother's fault that he screamed. Father has told Mother,
in front of Joshua, that he doesn't know how Mother can sleep at night since she is collecting
child support from him and, is not paying half of the mortgage for the home where he is living.
He has said to Mother in front of Joshua that she is not fit to be raising a child.
27. Father's conduct disrespecting Mother in front of Joshua is not in the child's best
interest. The conduct serves to alienate Joshua from Mother, and is potentially harmful to the
child.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner asks this Court to issue an Order to;
a. Confirm and make permanent the parties' shared legal custody of Joshua and
Mother's primary physical custody of Joshua;

AND NOW, comes Defenda~t, Dennis R. Kayn (hereinafter referred to as "Father"), by and
through his attorneys, MARTS ON DEARDORFF WILLIAMS & OTTO, pursuantto 18 Pa. C.S.A.
95721.1 (a)(I) and, in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. In this custodymatter, Father's attorney was advised in May, 2001, by the attorney
for Teresa D.Kayn (hereinafter referred to as "Mother") that Mother has been recording telephone
conversations of Father made to and from her residence phone.
2. Mother's attorney stated that she believes these recordings were legal since Mother
allegedly t\lld Father that he could assume any of his telephone calls would be recorded, and so, by
making the calls, he has implicitly consented to being recorded.
3. Father's attorney advised Mother's attorney that there was no such consent to phone
calls being recorded, that they were illegal, and that Mother should cease and desist from doing so.
4. Father's attorney later confirmed this in a letter to Mother's attorney which is attached
hereto and marked as Exhibit "A."
5. Father engaged Eugene Stecher to do a custody evaluation of both parties and the
r:

child.
6. Mother asked Mr. Stecher to listen to telephone conversations with the Father which
she had recorded.
7. In an email messageearlierthismonth.Mr. Stecher asked Father's attorney ifhe
could listen to those tapes. Father's attorney, who was on vacation from July 1-15, 2001, was able
to check his e-mail on vacation and reply to Mr. Stecher that this matter could be discussed after he
returned from vacation, but recommended that Mr. Stecher not listen to the tapes as they may not
be admissible as evidence, and listening to them could taint his testimony.

i
I
,
I
8. Upon return from vacation, Father's attorney found a report apparently dated July 9,
2001 from Mr. Stecher that he refers to "alleged transcripts of phone conversations between Father
and Mother and Father and son," though it is not completely clear if Mr. Stecher placed any reliance
on these, or even heard them.

'Our File No. 10309.1 '
Dear Andrea:
The following is Dennis' week in, A~gust. You will see this goes from 8/6 -12/01 and he will
return Joshua to day care on the moming of Monday, 8/13/01.

We havij decided to have Eugene Stecker update the original evaluation. Either youor
Teresa should be hearing from him directly.
@

~
We are contiIiuing to work on the answers to Interrogatories.
I did discuss with Dennis the inappropriateness of making derogatory remarks concerning
Teresa to Joshua or iIi his presence. Dennis coilCeded he has done that, saying it has been when he
was provoked to bitterness. He promised me he would not say or do anything to, or in the presence,
of, Joshua, that would be in anyway derogatory to Joshua's mother. Dennis indicated to me his'
understanding that Joshua needs to respect his mother even if Dennis does not. Should any such
conduct reoccur in the future, please let me know about it right away.
Regarding the tapes, I have again checked the Pennsylvania Statute on this and am convinced
that Teresa has committed a felony; however, neither Dennis or I are interested in pursuing criminal
ch;lI'ges against Teresa. I suppose I should take this opportunity to reiterate what i told you earlier
that Dennis has not consented and does not consent, to anyone recording his voice. I have given this
issue of the tapes considerable thought and concluded that it would be objectionable to possess them
as evidence. If you intend to present these tapes as evidence at the hearing on August 2, please let

ANSWER TO MOTION TO PRECLUDE WIRETAP EVIDENCE
And now comes Plaintiff (Mother), by undersigned counsel, and answers Motion to
Preclude Wiretap Evidence filed by Defendant (Father) as follows:
1. Denied as stated. It is denied that Father's counsel first learned of the recording of
telephone conversations in May 2001. To the contrary, it is asserted that over a year ago, in May
2000, Father's counsel,' Lynn MacBride, Esquire, was advised in writing that Mother intended to
tape the telephone conversations that Father made to her home because of his abusive, obscene
and inappropriate remarks concerning Mother. See attached copy of letter of Mother's counsel to
Lynn MacBride, Esq., dated May 30, 2000, attached hereto and made part hereof as Plaintiffs
Exhibit A. In April 2001, after Thomas J. Williams, Father's present counsel, entered his
appearance, undersigned counsel brought the letter and the ongoing abusive conduct of Father to
the attention of Mr. Williams.
2. Denied as stated. It is denied that Mother's attorney stated that Mother "allegedly" told
Father that he could assume any of his telephone calls would be recorded. It is assented that
Mother's attorney expressed her opinion that, because Father was informed in advance that
Mother intended to tape the conversations, and had never raised an objection to the taping,
Father's awareness and conduct constituted consent to the recording. On the basis of Father's
conduct, the recording was consensual and not illegal.
Father was previously represented in this matter first by Lynn MacBride, Esquire, and then by Taylor P.
Andrews, Esquire, before present counsel entered his appearance in April 2001.
~ ~
3. It is admitted that Father's current counsel recently raised an objection to the taping of
Father's telephone conversations with Mother's home. The objection of Mr. Williams was the first
indication or notice from Father or any of his counsel that Father did not consent to the taping of
the conversations.
4. It is admitted that Father's attorney sent the letter of June 4, 2001, to Mother's
attorney. The letter speaks for itself.
5. It is admitted that Father engaged Eugene Stecher on June 4, 2001, to do an update
of his prior custody evaluation of both parties and the child. An initial evaluation by Mr. Stecher,
performed in September 2000, with a report dated October 5, 2000, was performed upon the
request of both parties.
6. Admitted.
7. Denied insofar as the paragraph sets forth the content of e-mail messages between
Mr. Stecher and Father's attorney, or insofar as it attempts to characterize the actions of Father's
attorney, as Mother is without knowledge or information upon which to confirm or deny the truth or
accuracy of the averments.
8. Denied insofar as the paragraph sets forth conduct of Father's attorney, or insofar as it
attempts to characterize the actions of Father's attorney, and the report of Mr. Stecher, and
insofar as the paragraph sets forth the conclusion of Father or his attorney regarding the report
from Mr. Stecher, as Mother is without knowledge or information upon which to confirm or deny
the truth or accuracy of the averments. By way of further response, Mother asserts that the
Report of July 9, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B,
speaks for itself.
2
1-'"
..
"-,
9. It is admitted that Father has never been provided with copies of the tapes of
conversations made by Mother, nor with transcripts of the tapes, It is admitted that on one
occasion counsel met and played a recording of a telephone call between Father and child.
By way of further response, it is asserted that after initial discussions between counsel
regarding the best means for transcribing the tapes, Mr. Williams advised Mother's counsel that
he did not wish to obtain the tapes. Mr. Williams has repeatedly rejected the opportunity to listen
to the tapes, and has declined to have possession, of the tapes, or transcripts which Mother's
counsel offered to provide to Father's counsel. See the June 4, 2001 letter of Mr. Williams to
Mother's counsel, in which Mr. Williams states: "I have given this issue of the tapes considerable
thought and concluded that it would be objectionable to possess them as evidence." A copy of
the letter is attached to Father's Motion and is also attached hereto and made part hereof as
Exhibit C.
See also letter of July 6, 2001 of Mother's counsel to Mr. Williams, which renews the offer
to make the tapes available to Father's counsel. A copy of the letter is attached hereto and made
part hereof as Exhibit D.
10. No answer required as the paragraph sets forth a conclusion of law. If deemed
factual, the averment is denied.
By way of further response, Mother, by counsel, asserts as follows:
11. The taped phone conversations involving Father include tapes of messages left by
Father on Mother's telephone answering machine. It has been held that, as a matter of law, those
tapes are not subject to any exclusionary rule, since a party leaving a message on an answering
machine evidences by his conduct, his awareness of, and his consent to the recording of his
message on tape. See Com. v. DeMarco, 578 A.2d 942, 396 Pa. Super. 357, (1990).
3
-"-,
12. Father was aware of and, by his conduct, consented to the recording of his voice for
other conversations as well as for those messages left on the telephone answering machine. On
at least one occasion, Father even remarked that he was probably being taped, and still continued
the conversation.
13. There is no reason to conclude that the testimony of Mr. Stecher would be "tainted" by
knowledge of the remarks of Father in phone conversations. As set forth in his report, Mr.
Stecher reached a conclusion that Mother should be awarded primary physical custody of the
child initially in October 2000, without any knowledge of the taped conversations of Father. In his
report of July 9, 2001, Mr. Stecher is clear that he does not rely upon the taped conversations to
reach his recommendation that Mother be granted primary physical custody of the child. The
report notes that the information obtained from the parties and child reinforces the original
recommendation. See Stecher Report of July 9,2001, (Exhibit B, hereto) at p. 7. The additional
information from the tapes is described as seeming "to point in the same direction," not as the
basis of the Evaluator's opinion.
14. The recordings of Father's messages left on the home answering machine and the
transcripts of conversation between Father and Mother and Father and the child provided
documentation of parent alienating conduct by Father. The information in the tapes listened to by
Mr. Stecher was not the only source of such information - Father has admitted it in
correspondence, see letter of June 4, 2001 from Mr. Williams to Mother's counsel, Exhibit C,
hereto, in which derogatory remarks regarding Mother are conceded. Father also acknowledged
such conduct in his interview with Mr. Stecher, see Report of July 9, 2001, (Exhibit B, hereto) at
p.8.
4
,. .=;
15. In his letter of engagement to Mr. Stecher, Father's counsel advised the Evaluator
that Father was seeking an update of the report of October 5, 2000, for the purposes of the
hearing of August 2, 2001, and states:
At a minimum, this would include reinterviews with the parents and the child; beyond that,
we will be guided by whatever you think best and appropriate to complete a thorough and
independent evaluation for Judge Oler."
Letter of June 4, 2001, from Thomas J. Williams, Esq. to Eugene H. Stecher, MA, copy attached
hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit E. To exclude Mr. Stecher's testimony because he did
in fact complete a thorough evaluation would be unreasonable.
16. On July 6, 2001, Mother's counsel spoke by telephone to Eugene Stecher, who sought
information regarding the legality of the tapes which Mother had brought to his attention during the
evaluation process. Mother's counsel informed Mr. Stecher that the conversations were recorded
after notice to Father that Mother intended to tape them, and in the absence of any objection from
Father about the recording, or any indication that he did not consent to the recording. See letter
of July 6, 2001 from Andrea C. Jacobsen, Esq. to Eugene H. Stecher, MA, copy attached hereto
and made a part hereof as Exhibit F.
17. The timing of Father's instant Motion, and the proposed exclusion of the testimony of
Mr. Stecher is highly prejudicial to Mother. Father has long been aware that Mother has been
recording the conversations to her home phone. Even Father's current counsel has known of the
taping and the existence of the tapes for over two months, since shortly after he entered his
appearance in April 2001. Despite such knowledge, he has repeatedly rejected Mother's offers to
allow him access to the tapes.
5
-
-.. ' or"~
18. In early June 2001, Father's counsel raised the possibility that he might seek an
evidentiary hearing with regard to the tapes. See Exhibit C. In early July, Mother's counsel
confirmed that she might be using the tapes at hearing. See Exhibit D. Father's delay until July
30, 2001, three days before the hearing, to first apprise the Court of his concern, and to request
the disallowance of the testimony of Mr. Stecher is dilatory and highly prejudicial to Mother.
19. There is no reason why Father should be permitted to set aside the evaluation of Mr.
Stecher.
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Father's Motion to Preclude Wiretap Evidence
should be denied.

Re: KAYN v. KAYN, Cumberland County,
No. 200()"'2469, Civil Term, In Divorce
Dear Lynn:
I recall that you may be out of town for another week and I look forward to discussing
this matter with you upon your return. In the meantime, Teresa Kayn has contacted me about
the telephone converSations between Dennis Kayn and herself and their son and I wish to
respond to them by notice to him through your office. From what she has told me, your client
has made abusive and threatening remarks to her - calling her a 'cunt," and indicating that if
she did not agree to giVe him additional time with the child, he would keep Joshua for a week.
Dennis has also attempted to place their child in the middle of discussions between
himself and Teresa with regard to the visitation schedule. For example, Teresa has heard him
say to Joshua, "Ask mommy why she won't let me see you this week.' This clearly is at odds
with the spirit and the provisions of the Temporary Order, which provides in paragraph 8:
8. Neither party shall attempt to undermine the mutual love and affection the child has for
the other parent, and neither party shall, in the presence of the child, make any
disparaging or negative remarks concerning the other parent. Both parties shall hold out
the other parent as one to whom the child should show respect and love.
Your client's remarks are certainly inappropriate, and contrary to the interests of Joshua.
Lest there be any question about the accuracy of my client's report, I have suggested to Teresa
Kayn that she begin tape recording conversations between Dennis and Joshua or herself. This
should either end the problem or at least dfer a practical way of documenting the truth of what is
said between these individuals.
I have discussed with Teresa that it may be unlawful to do this tape recording without a
person's advance knowledge but this letter is intended to constitute advance notice that recording
will be occurring. Teresa has nothing to hide or to defend and this wi" help assure that point.
Lynn MacBride, Esq.

I hope your office will forward this to Mr. Kayn in your absence.

Father, Dennis R. Kayn, age 54, b. 11/5/45
Mother, Teresa D. .Kayn, age 36, b. 11/5/63
Dear Attorneys:
Introduction. I initially perfonned a custody evaluation in this matter in September of 2000,
involving both an in-home evaluation and an individually admimRtered psychological evaluation
with each parent A thirteen page report was available by October 5, 2000, and it made three
recommendations: joint legal custody, priInaty physical custody for mother, and h'beral partial
physical custody for father. I also suggested that individual counseling for each parent might be
beneficial.
Subsequent to that evaluation father came to my office once, and he made five or six relatively
brief phone calls to me. He wanted clarification about whether the report meant that he should
receive less time with the child than he had before, and the answer was "no." In subsequent
conversations with both attorneys this infonnation was conveyed. Father also seemed to need a
sounding board for his disappointments and complaints about trying to negotiate custody matters
with mother. My response essentially was fourfold: talk to Teresa, discuss unresolved matters with
your attorney, be prepared to Jive with any decisions that you make as a father, and seek
counseling. I pointed out to him that it was my responsibility to practice ethically and to maintain
objectivity and that I could not take the counselor's role.
The week of June 4 I received a call from attorney Williams requesting a second evaluation. The
request was confirmed in a subsequent letter (614) which attached an order (5129) by the
Honorable J. Wesley Oller, Jr. allowing either party to "retain an evaluator" prior to the August 2
hearing, costs to be paid by the party seeking the evaluation. Father has followed through with this

responsibility. In phone calls with both attorneys, the option of a fresh third party perspective was
discnssed.
I met with father and son on the morning of Tuesday, June 12, for approximately 2.5 hours. I met
with mother and Son on the morning of Wednesday, June 20, for approximately two hours. There
were subsequent phone calls with both parents for clarification of information, and father was
inteJViewed at my office on July 5.
Assessment methodology. I reviewed docl1tt1eDts related to an alleged child abuse incident:
Chambersburg Hospital Report of Suspected Child Abuse (2/6/01), Protective Service
Investigation Report (2/7/01), Cumberland County C & Y notification of suspected abnse (2/8/01),
Child Abuse Interview Report (Earl Greenwald, M.D., 2/8101), Medical Examination (Earl
Greenwald, MD., 2/8/01), Addendum from Earl Greenwald, M.D. (3/2/01), and Cumberland
County C & Y letter offindings (3130/01).
I further interviewed both parents, with special focus on reactions to the observations made in the
last report, and made parent/child observations. The parents also completed a self-report
questionnaire and the Inventory of Interpersonal Prob1el1ll1 as it applies to their own relationship.
With the possible exception of abuse issues, parental criticisms of one another are not included in
this report unless the problem impacts parenting and both agree on the information, and/or there is
confirmation from a reliable third source.
Custody Goal. Father hopes to be considered for more cnstody time, and before the child begins
school in the Fall of2oo2 he would prefer primary physical custody, but he would at least like the
recently mandated swmner schedule to be in effect year round, ie., one week per month in
addition to the standard every other week-end and one week-day overnight arrangement Father
mentioned that he had kept infonnation about multiple day care centers in the area, and he
specifically mentioned programs at Shippensburg and Wilson coneges.
Mother wishes to maintain primary physical custody either without changes in the current schedule
or with further Jimitations of father's time. She wonies about the difficulty of trying to adjust to
two day care programs. She pointed out that Joshua's current day care has a 6/1 adult to child
ratio with a very low turnover rate and that he has been there two years.
Cnstody Cooperation. Both indicate that cooperation on the court ordered time and place of child
transfer has been good, even though there have been changes in those factors, but there have been
differences of opinion on specific requests for flexibility.
Mother gave this example of how communication breaks down: [11 Father requests a time change.
{2] Mother says "no" due to Joshua being invited for dinner at a friend's fonowed by a swimming
lesson. [3] At the last minute the family calls and cancels dinner. {4] Father asks Joshua ifhe
went to the family's home for dinner. (S) Joshua says "no." [6] Father concludes that mother was
lying. [7] Tensions and hard feelings are increased. In father's view the whole matter could have
been avoided by simply prioritizing the parent's request.

Unstructured Observation. Pather's Home. Child's Room. Joshua took me upstairs to show
me his room while father completed paperwOlt. There have been no essential changes since the
last evalua1ion. The child's tent, a smaD. air mattress, smaD. p1as1ic chairs, and toy items are in his
bedroom rather than in the family area, but his bed stilI sits, full of stuffed animals, at the foot of
his father's bed.
Behavior. Joshua was fiiendly, evidenced good rapport with his father, and displayed good self-
management during my visit Father's behavior toward the child was supportive, encouraging, and
affectionate. Joshua was watching the Wizard of Oz when I arrived, and, off and on, continued to
watch that video. When he took me upstairs, he named the stuffed animaJs that were in his own
bed. I asked Josh to show me where he sleeps, and he crawled up on his father's bed, put his hand
on a pillow, and said, "there."
When about fifteen minutes had gone by he chose to go oulside, and father put some toys in full
view outside the sun room so that he could play. Owing the visit Joshua played outside for a time
and then would come inside, and that pattern continued. He would talk briefly to his father each
time; e.g. about trying to plant fonowers. He fonowed his father's boundary setting to give the
adults conversationaI privacy. At a point in time Joshua was allowed to go next door on his own to
ring the ben and ask if Andy (age 11) could play. He came back to say that no one answered.
Father showed some evidence of distraction and stress, perhaps an exacerbation of attention deficit
and depressive symptoms for which he takes the medications Addera1l and Pm. When Joshua
took me upstairs I found the water rnnn1rlg at full force in the bath room. Father also took 2 to 3x
longer than average to complete the personal data questionnaire. Consistent with feeling excessive
stress is the self-report of a 15 pound weight loss and loss of appetite "most days."
When providing personal data, after the "children" item, father wrote the name ofhis daughter but
not the names ofhis sons. He also initiaI1y indicated "blanks in memory most days," but later
indicated that it wasn't so. He also endorsed the items "adult sexual abuse" and "adult emotional
abuse," and these were left blank on the previous evaluation questionnaire. Perl1aps he was
confusing 'the sexual abuse item with what allegedly recently happened to Joshua.
Mother's Home. Child's Room. The appearance of the bedroom was similar to my last visit.
Over twenty pieces of Joshua's art worl< are on display. The bed is full of stuffed animals.
Pictures in the room include one of father holding up a catch of fish.
[Mother advised that she added father's picture based on comments in the first evaluation report.]
Behavior. Joshua was playing with his dinosaurs in the middle of the living room floor when I
arrived, and there was also a dinosaur and ~m,,1 book in the area. Rapport between mother and
son was very good throughout the visit, and mother evidenced both patience and enthusiasm in the
interactions. At my request Joshua took me to his room and was able to name all the stuffed
animals on his bed.
Joshua chattered with his mother and dramatized stories as she sat on the floor with bim and
completed the assigned paper worl<. She occasionally responded to his requests, such as helping

c
him to get something out of the toy closet Due to Joshua's desire for his mother's attention, it
took her somewhat longer than usual to complete the paper wOlt, and he also tended to intenupt
our attempts to talk Mother did set boundaries and redirect him, but he returned fairly often.
Joshua had a brief crying spell when he was told that grandmother and stepgrandfather had come
to take him to day care, but he settled rather quickly as his mother took him out to the car.
[As during the first evaluation, Joshua was more attention seeking and emotional in mother's
environment. But mother was also the ,one who did not use the TV as a parenting tool. However,
during the first evaluation, father was the one that didn't use the TV as a parenting tool. The
spaciousness/freedom off ather's home compared to mother's is certainly also a factor. We must
further consider that during visits with father, father has 100% time to give the child, while mother
must be constantly sending him off to day care. There is also the possibility that father may
criticize mother to Joshua.]
Mother. Mother had concern in her voice and was close to tearfulness a few times, but she did not
report high levels of emotional turmoil or behave in ways that would suggest levels of stress,
depression, anxiety, or anger that intlaf".es withjudgment.
[Mother appears to be managirlg her emotions more constructively than father.]
Interview. Father. Residence. Dennis continues to live at 247 Chestnut Drive in Shippensburg.
The home is for sale, and he is waiting for "an acceptable offer." He could not be definite about
when a move might occur.
Alcohol use. The last report indicated that Dennis had developed an evening habit of drinking a
martini or vodka tonic and a beer, which resulted in "a little bit of euphoria, " and since that was
"more potent" than he wanted, there was a change to two beers in the evening. Dennis now
reports that he drinks one beer in the evening, "h tastes good with a snack and reading the paper."
He believes that his drinking "never affected behavior, " but why, then, does he keep changing the
habit to less?
[Father noted that mother had expressed concern about alcohol use, but he did not express
awareness that the evaluator also menlioned concerns about alcohol use in the previous report.]
Sleeping Arrangements, Dennis acknowledged "no change" in the sleeping arrangements, and
said, "As often as not he'll be in bed with me or will crawl into his own bed with his animals. "
Father offered that Joshua wants "affection and to be held." He emphll"'~ed the love that father
and son have for each other, and he indicated that the sleeping arrangement should not be an issue
at this tender age. He affirmed that in the future there would be a separate bedroom for Joshua.

[, ':"~f:i
Extended Family. Dennis advised that he has maintained contact with the older children through
regular phone calls and cards since the last evaluation. There are plans for a trip to Florida this
year to see the extended family.
Personal Care. Dennis' work place recently began to offer EAP services, and he is taking
advantage of four :free counseling sessions with Susan Day at Summit Behavioral Health. To date
he has attended one session. He continues to see Dr. Hegarty every 60 days for medication
management He indicated that he had been taking the medication long enough that he was no
longer sore of its degree of helpfulness.
[Father did not connect taking this counseling step with anything that was said in the previous
evaluation. ]
Father/Son Interaction. Dennis indicated that he tries to do at least one special thing with Joshua
each week-end that they are together. He mentioned activities like ball games, attending concerts
at the Capitol Theater, hiking, fishing. swimming in mends' pools, Saturday morning library time,
watching videos, reading books, and playing games like Booby Trap. About 75% of the time they
will attend church. He mentioned being eligible for five weeks vacation and the possibility of
doing some traveling.
Interview: Mother. Residence. Teresa continues to rent the same apartment, and she is currently
on a month to month lease. She has a contract to build a home, but that cannot happen until the
marital assets are settled. The home would be constructed in the area offRt. 581 at exit 2, just a
few miles from her work and Joshua's day care center. She anticipates that it could be a full year
before the project can begin.
Extended Family. Teresa advises that she and Joshua made trips in October and March to Florida
and Missouri respectively and saw most of her family at those times. Her mother and stepfather,
one or the other, or both, have been visiting in this area since the end of May and are scheduled to
return home June 21.
[Mother appears to have the more active relationship with extended family.]
Personal Care. Teresa advises that she took seriously the observation in the first evaluation about
the helpfulness of counseling. She has been in sessions wilh Lucretia Hurley-Browning since
January of this year. They have addressed the repression issues that were mentioned in the earlier
evaluation as wen as self-assertiveness. The counselor challenged her to pray for Dennis daily, and
she has managed to let go of some of her anger, allhough she might only say the prayers three
times per week. She completed her Divorce Care class that was meeting last Fall and found it to
be very helpful. She is currently active in a women's outreach group at her church.
[Mother appears to have made a conscious decision to take self-care steps based on the first
evaluation. ]
Molher/Son Interaction. Teresa advised that Joshua had completed one set of swimming lessons
and that she would probably sign him up for lhe next set. They go with Joshua's mend and parent

to see plays by the Popcorn Hat Players. Church attendance is usually weekly, and Joshua attends
his own class and sings in the children's choir. They attend church events such as picnics.
Vacation Bible School fen on the week that he was with his father. Summer activity will probably
include trips to Washington and Baltimore. Neighborhood mends are Brandon (4) and Trevor
(4). Mother noted which relationship goes smoother and which requires more supervision.
Evening time usually consists of a quick dinner, and then going to play, perhaps to the playground
and swimming poo~ and riding a bike with training wheels.

Alleged Child Abuse. The fonowing represents my understanding of the chronology and content
of events:
i
I
I
i
[1] Joshua was with father on Wednesday, Januaty 31, and father reports observing "no visible
injuries." The child was transferred to mother the next day, Thursday, February 1, at about
6:30AM.
[2] The alleged abuse occurred between Thursday, Feb.l and Sunday, Feb.4 when mother was
visiting a male mend in Norfolk, Virginia.
[3] The alleged perpetrator was mother's adult male companion.
[4] Mother's male mend was with her and Joshua from late Thursday evening until after lunch on
Sunday.
[5] Following complaint of discomfort by Joshua while bathing, Mother reports seeing a penile
scratch or abrasion on Friday.
[6] Mother and Joshua returned home after lunch on Sunday.
[7] Father received Joshua at McDonald's in Carlisle on Tuesday evening, February 6, 5:30PM.
[8] Father took the child to Chambersburg Hospital the same evening where he was examined at
8:19PM.
[9] Father reported that the child's penis was "pulled," causing injury. Joshua told the nurse, "
(name) pulled it"
[10] Two days later Joshua reported this same act to an examiner and indicated that it took place
"on top ofbil! clothing."
[11] Medically', the scratch is not consistent with the type of injmy one might expect from 1h.e
action described, and it is considered "medically'trivial" and "accidental. "
[12] Cumberland-Perry C & Y detennined the abuse charge to be "unfounded, "
[13] Any negative interaction between Joshua and mother's companion cannot be defined with
reasonable certainty.
GAP/CustodyEvaIIJoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6120/01 6
"
u
U,..,
In reading over the documentation, I had several concerns: [1] Joshua apparently did not use the
word "penis" during his initial examination. [2] Joshua subsequently stated that mother "very very
much" hurt his penis, but who believes that statement has credibility. Why, therefore, should other
statements be believed if this one is ignored? [3] Inconsistency and judgment uncertainty in a three
to four year old is not surprising since that is an age when memol)', o~ect constancy, language
development, and comprehension, are still in fluid formation.
There is a possibility that Joshua bears some degree ofhard feelings toward mother's male mend.
[1] The three had walkl:d and played on the beach on Saturday. At their apartment (?) they
attempted to put Joshua down for a nap. He would not listen to his mother to stay in bed. Her
male companion provided verbal back up and eventually physically placed Joshua in bed. [2]
Joshua had begun a habit of resisting his mother's authority by unbuckling his seat beh. Mother's
companion admonished him about not doing that as they left after lunch on Sunday.
One of father's very strong objections is any action of mother's which places a third party in the
position of disciplining Joshua. Mother responds, "I looked at these situations as someone backing
me up rather than discipline. I assume that Andy and Jennifer's parents monitor Joshua when he
plays over there without his father." Father agreed that Andy and Jennifer's parents do supervise
and set boundaries for Joshua when he plays at their homes, but he believes that this is a
qualitatively different circumstance than that provided by mother.
[We could question mother's judgment with regard to placing a three year old child in an
emotionally compromised position of acceptance of an intimate adult relationship, in a confined set
of circumstances, apart from that of his own parents, which he could not adequately understand.
However, on balance, there appears to be insufficient reason for any circumstances related to the
alleged abuse to be detemrinative of a custody decision.]
Inventory of Interpersonal Problems. Father. Although father endorsed cold/distant feelings
and social avoidance, he also endorsed a "dependent" pattern of nonassertiveness, over
accommodation, and self-sacrifice, with the mction of vindictive and controlling urges agitating
just beneath the snrface. This is a rather substantial picture of inner twmoil: dependence in
conflict with avoidance, and accommodation in tension with very negative promptings.
Perceptions, interpretations, and decisions are likely to be filtered through this confusing array of
emotion.
Mother. Here we also find a profile of cold/distant feelings and avoidance but without the
intensity of the remaining emotional complications.
[These observations about father's emotions are consistent with the first custody evaluation and
with previous observations in this report. Mother appears to be filtering her perceptions and
experiences through a less complicated and confusing screen.]
The data to this point in the evaluation basically reinforces the original decision to recommend
primary physical custody to mother. The information which follows also came to my attention
and seems to point in the same direction.
GAP/CustodyEvalJJoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 7
,,_,ok
Potential Parent Alienation Data. Other sources of data at mother's home included messages left
by father on the phone answering machine, and alleged transcripts of phone conversations between
father and mother and father and son: [1] After consulting with colleagues, I am choosing not to
refer to the transcripts because even though father told me, "Teresa did say dwing three or four
calls thllt she was taping them, and maybe twice when we were exchanging Joshua, " he also told
me that he never agreed to the taping, and I understand that there may be legal/ethical questions
about material for which there was not mutual consent. Although by not hanging up and
continuing to talk, perhaps that could be interpreted as consent. [2] However, I will refer to the
messages, because father voluntarily left them on tape, knowing that mother and even Joshua
might hear them and pass the information along to someone else. Father's voice is distinctive, and
there is little doubt that he is speaking.
Before referencing the phone messages, I want to mention one piece of information that mother
shared independent of giving me this material. She mentioned that father had told Joshua that
there was no money to buy a new car because mother took the money. When asked, father agreed
that he said this to Joshua. He felt that "truth" was the most important way to communicate with
the child.
[Father did not seem to have awareness that his remark was parent alienating and that finances
were an adult topic of conversation that was beyond the understanding of a three year old.]
Based on five phone messages of Aprll13 to which I listened when at mother's home, I asked
father the following questions, all of which should have had a "yes" response:
Do you agree that you called Teresa an "unfit mother" when she didn't have Joshua in bed by
8:30PM? Answer. "No."
Do you agree that you left a message saying that most of her "social life" was "usually in the
bedroom?" Answer. "No."
Do you agree that you left messages at least twice calling her a "sIut?" Answer. "No....! may
have."
Father did say to me, "I do get angry and frustrated.......but I never made bodily threats."
[The inlplication of this material is that Joshua is probably exposed to parent alienating remarks
from father.]
Summary. This report may be summarized by reading the bracketed sections or by reading the
following summary of information which continues to favor mother as the primary physical
custody parent:
[1] Mother seemed much more aware of the meaning of the first evaluation and made changes
accordingly. Father seemed unaware of applying first evaluation ~lIIions, although he made
some changes.
GAP/CustodyEva1/JoshuaKayn 6/12101 6/20/01 8
, .
'.;A.
[2] The appearance that Joshua may be more difficult to manage in his mother's environment
should not be attributed to poor parenting skiDs.
[3] Mother appears to be more actively involved with extended family.
[4] Mother appears to be managing her emotions more constructively than does father, as
indicated by observation, interview, and the TIP.
[5] Alleged child abuse issues do not favor either parent, although mother could have been more
sensitive to the child's developmental vulnerability.
[6] There is evidence of parent alienating remarks by father and a lack of awareness of the child's
developmental vulnerabilily.
Recommendation. The recommendation again is shared legal custody and primary physical
custody to mother, but should father be given more time in the fonn of an additional one full week
per month lUltil the child enters school full time? It is my professional opinion that the poor
communication between the parenls and the need to adjust to another care enviromnent at these
tender years indicate that the current school year schedule is best kept in place, while also keeping
the one extra week per month during the summer for father.

RE: Kayn v. Kayn
Dear Tom:
By letter of June 4, 2001, you advised that your client did not consent to anyone recording
his voice. I so instructed my client, and she has ceased taping any calls from Dennis - except
insofar as he chooses to leave a spoken message on her telephone answering machine. I have
not yet decided if I will present the tapes of the past conversations as evidence at the hearing on
August 2. I have already shared some ofthe recordings with you, and renew my offer to make the
tapes available to you for review prior to the hearing. Some of the tapes that document your
client's inappropriate statements regarding Teresa are simply recordings of messages he left on
her home answering machine - as to those remarks, he certainly intended to have his voice
recorded. I see no particular legal barrier to theii- admissibility beyond standard hearsay concerns.
With regard to the recordings of other telephone conversations between Dennis Kayn and
Joshua and Teresa over the last year, your client was on notice that Teresa would be taping the
calls, and the reason for her doing so. In this regard, see my letter of May 30, 2000, to Dennis's
former counsel, copy enclosed. For over a year, Dennis made no objection to the recording. In fact,
in one of the tapes I played for you, Dennis even states that he was probably being taped. Your
letter of June 2001, sent more than a year after my letter to Lynn MacBride, was the first indication
that Dennis Kayn did not consent to the recording of his voice. Prior to that, with notice to him, and
no objection from him. Teresa had every reason to assume your clienfs consent to the taping. As I
said, I am not sure that I will be using the tapes, but I don't understand your comment that
possession of the tapes would in any way be "objectionable" in and of itself.
I tried to contact you today in response to a call from Eugene Stecher. Happily for you, you
are off for two weeks.
I continue to await your promised responses to our Interrogatories and hope they will be
provided to us shortiy after your return to work.
Sincerely,
Cc: Teresa Kayn

2001 beginning at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom NO.1 before the HonorableJ. Wesley OIer, Jr. The
mother, Teresa D. Kayn, continues to be represented by Andrea C. Jacobsen, Esquire.
As you will ,no doubt recall, y~u performed a Child Custody Evaluation in September of
2000 for these parents with regard to their son, Joshua Ryan Kayn, born March 5, 1997. Your report
was dated October 5, 2000. We will need an update of that report for purposes of your testimony
at the hearing on August 2, 2001. At a minimum, this would include reinterviewswith the parents
an<lthe child; beyond that, we will be guided by whatever you think best and appropriate to complete
a thorough and independent evaluation for the benefit of Judge Oler.
This will also confirm that my client, Dennis R. Kayn; will be solely responsible for the cost
of your eValuatioIl.

As you are no doubt aware, the mother has had prim~ custody of Joshua since she left the
, , marital residence in ShippenSburg on April 15, 2000 and moved to Mechanicsburg. Since then, the
father has essentially had custody every other" weekend and one weekday overnight each week.
Father is seeking to change this for anumber of reasons !hat I'm sure he win explain to you,
including the fact that in August of 2002; Joshua will start kindergarten. Mother has had primary
custody for the past year, with Fatherrelegatedto every othetweekend and one weekday overnight.
, Although the weekday overnight haS been difficult because Father does all the transportation, he has
done it because he feels that two weeks without seeing his son is too long. With Mother living in
Mechanicsbutg,and Father living in Sbippensb1l!:'g, it,seems likelY,that one ,party will be limited to
every other weekend during the school year beginning the end of AuguSt, 2002.'
, If you need to speak with me orAttomey Jacobsen for any reason, please feel free to call;
otherwise," I will await receipt of your updated report. .

Dear Mr. Stecher:
Per your request. enclosed please find a copy of the letter which I sent to Lynn MacBride on
May 30,2000, in which I advised her of Teresa Kayn's intention to record the conversations with
Dennis Kayn.
Mr. Kayn has recently raised an objection to the taping of the conversations, and Teresa
Kayn has stopped taping his voice - except for voice messages Dennis Kayn chooses to leave on
her answering machine.
I look forward to receiving the written report of your recent custody re-evaIuation in this
matter.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

ANSWER TO MOTION TO PRECLUDE WIRETAP EVIDENCE
(;'.,
And now comes Plaintiff (Mother), by undersigned counsel, and answers Motion to
Preclude Wiretap Evidence filed by Defendant (Father) as follows:
1. Denied as stated. It is denied that Father's counsel first learned of the recording of
telephone conversations in May 2001. To the contrary, it is asserted that over a year ago, in May
2000, Father's counsel,' Lynn MacBride, Esquire, was advised in writing that Mother intended to
tape the telephone Conversations that Father made to her home because of his abusive, obscene
and inappropriate remarks concerning Mother. See attached copy of letter of Mother's counsel to
Lynn MacBride, Esq., dated May 30, 2000, attached hereto and made part hereof as Plaintiff's
Exhibit A. In April 2001, after Thomas J. Williams, Father's present counsel, entered his
appearance, undersigned counsel brought the letter and the ongoing abusive conduct of Father to
the attention of Mr. Williams.
2. Denied as stated. It is denied that Mother's attorney stated that Mother "allegedly" told
Father that he could assume any of his telephone calls would be recorded. It is assented that
Mother's attorney expressed her opinion that, because Father was informed in advance that
Mother intended to tape the conversations, and had never raised an objection to the taping,
Father's awareness and conduct constituted consent to the recording. On the basis of Father's
conduct, the recording was consensual and not illegal.
1
Father was previously represented in this matter first by Lynn MacBride, Esquire, and then by Taylor P.
Andrews. Esquire. before present counsel entered his appearance in April 2001.
c)
7
,',
, (;
-<
3. It is admitted that Father's current counsel recently raised an objection to the taping of
Father's telephone conversations with Mother's home. The objection of Mr. Williams was the first
indication or notice from Father or any of his counsel that Father did not consent to the taping of
the conversations.
4. It is admitted that Father's attorney sent the letter of June 4, 2001, to Mother's
attorney. The letter speaks for itself.
5. It is admitted that Father engaged Eugene Stecher on June 4, 2001, to do an update
of his prior custody evaluation of both parties and the child. An initial evaluation by Mr. Stecher,
performed in September 2000, with a report dated October 5, 2000, was performed upon the
request of both parties.
6. Admitted.
7. Denied insofar as the paragraph sets forth the content of e-mail messages between
Mr. Stecher and Father's attorney, or insofar as it attempts to characterize the actions of Father's
attorney, as Mother is without knowledge or information upon which to confirm or deny the truth or
accuracy of the averments.
8. Denied insofar as the paragraph sets forth conduct of Father's attorney, or insofar as it
attempts to characterize the actions of Father's attorney, and the report of Mr. Stecher, and
insofar as the paragraph sets forth the conclusion of Father or his attorney regarding the report
from Mr. Stecher, as Mother is without knowledge or information upon which to confirm or deny
the truth or accuracy of the averments. By way of further response, Mother asserts that the
Report of July 9, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B,
speaks for itself.
2
1,,,
9. It is admitted that Father has never been provided with copies of the tapes of
conversations made by Mother, nor with transcripts of the tapes, It is admitted that on one
occasion counsel met and played a recording of a telephone call between Father and child.
By way of further response, it is asserted that after initial discussions between counsel
regarding the best means for transcribing the tapes, Mr. Williams advised Mother's counsel that
he did not wish to obtain the tapes. Mr. Williams has repeatedly rejected the opportunity to listen
to the tapes, and has declined to have possession of the tapes, or transcripts which Mother's
counsel offered to provide to Father's counsel. See the June 4, 2001 letter of Mr. Williams to
Mother's counsel, in which Mr. Williams states: "I have given this issue of the tapes considerable
thought and concluded that it would be objectionable to possess them as evidence." A copy of
the letter is attached to Father's Motion and is also attached hereto and made part hereof as
Exhibit C.
See also letter of July 6, 2001 of Mother's counsel to Mr. Williams, which renews the offer
to make the tapes available to Father's counsel. A copy of the letter is attached hereto and made
part hereof as Exhibit D.
10. No answer required as the paragraph sets forth a conclusion of law. If deemed
factual, the averment is denied.
By way of further response, Mother, by counsel, asserts as follows:
11. The taped phone conversations involving Father include tapes of messages left by
Father on Mother's telephone answering machine. It has been held that, as a matter of law, those
tapes are not subject to any exclusionary rule, since a party leaving a message on an answering
machine evidences by his conduct, his awareness of, and his consent to the recording of his
message on tape. See Com. v. DeMarco, 578A.2d 942,396 Pa. Super. 357, (1990).
3
t"
12. Father was aware of and, by his conduct, consented to the recording of his voice for
other conversations as well as for those messages left on the telephone answering machine. On
at least one occasion, Father even remarked that he was probably being taped, and still continued
the conversation.
13. There is no reason to conclude that the testimony of Mr. Stecher would be "tainted" by
knowledge of the remarks of Father in phone conversations. As set forth in his report, Mr.
Stecher reached a conclusion that Mother should be awarded primary physical custOdy of the
child initially in October 2000, without any knowledge of the taped conversations of Father. In his
report of July 9, 2001, Mr. Stecher is clear that he does not rely upon the taped conversations to
reach his recommendation that Mother be granted primary physical custody of the child. The
report notes that the information obtained from the parties and child reinforces the original
recommendation. See Stecher Report of July 9, 2001, (Exhibit 8, hereto) at p. 7. The additional
information from the tapes is described as seeming "to point in the same direction;' not as the
basis of the Evaluator's opinion.
14. The recordings of Father's messages left on the home answering machine and the
transcripts of conversation between Father and Mother and Father and the child provided
documentation of parent alienating conduct by Father. The information in the tapes listened to by
Mr. Stecher was not the only source of such information - Father has admitted it in
correspondence, see letter of June 4, 2001 from Mr. Williams to Mother's counsel, Exhibit C,
hereto, in which derogatory remarks regarding Mother are conceded. Father also acknowledged
such conduct in his interview with Mr. Stecher, see Report of July 9,2001, (Exhibit 8, hereto) at
p.8.
4
"
_lliil/il;,
15. In his letter of engagement to Mr. Stecher, Father's counsel advised the Evaluator
that Father was seeking an update of the report of October 5, 2000, for the purposes of the
hearing of August 2, 2001, and states:
At a minimum, this would include reinterviews with the parents and the child; beyond that,
we will be guided by whatever you think best and appropriate to complete a thorough and
independent evaluation for Judge Oler."
Letter of June 4, 2001, from Thomas J. Williams, Esq. to Eugene H. Stecher, M.A., copy attached
hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit E. To exclude Mr. Stecher's testimony because he did
in fact complete a thorough evaluation would be unreasonable.
16. On July 6, 2001, Mother's counsel spoke by telephone to Eugene Stecher, who sought
information regarding the legality of the tapes which Mother had brought to his attention during the
evaluation process. Mother's counsel informed Mr. Stecher that the conversations were recorded
after notice to Father that Mother intended to tape them, and in the absence of any objection from
Father about the recording, or any indication that he did not consent to the recording. See letter
of July 6,2001 from Andrea C. Jacobsen, Esq. to Eugene H. Stecher, MA, copy attached hereto
and made a part hereof as Exhibit F.
17. The timing of Father's instant Motion, and the proposed exclusion of the testimony of
Mr. Stecher is highly prejudicial to Mother. Father has long been aware that Mother has been
recording the conversations to her home phone. Even Father's current counsel has known of the
taping and the existence of the tapes for over two months, since shortly after he entered his
appearance in April 2001. Despite such knowledge, he has repeatedly rejected Mother's offers to
allow him access to the tapes.
5
,
''',
18. In early June 2001, Father's counsel raised the possibility that he might seek an
evidentiary hearing with regard to the tapes. See Exhibit C. In early July, Mother's counsel
confirmed that she might be using the tapes at hearing. See Exhibit D. Father's delay until July

I
I
I
I
30, 2001, three days before the hearing, to first apprise the Court of his concern, and to request
the disallowance of the testimony of Mr. Stecher is dilatory and highly prejudicial to Mother.
19. There is no reason why Father should be permitted to set aside the evaluation of Mr.

Stecher.
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Father's Motion to Preclude Wiretap Evidence
should be denied.

Re: KAYN v. KAYN. Cumberland County.
No. 2000-2469. Civil Term, In Divorce
Dear Lynn:
I recall that you may be out of town for another week and I look forward to discussing
this matter with you upon your return. In the meantime. Teresa Kayn has contacted me about
the telephone cQlwersations be\ween Dennis Kayn and herself and their son and I wish to
respond to them by notice to him through your office. From what she has told me, your dient
has made abusive and threatening remarks to her - calling her a "cunt," and indicating that if
she did not agree to give him additional time with the child. he would keep Joshua for a week.
Dennis has also attempted to place their child in the middle of discussions between
himself and Teresa with regard to the visitation schedule. For example, Teresa has heard him
say to Joshua, "Ask mommy why she won't let me see you this week.<< This clearly is at odds
with the spirit and the provisions of the Temporary Order, which provides in paragraph 8:
8. Neither party shall attempt to undermine the muluallove and affection the child has for
the other parent, and neither party shall, in the presence of the child, make any
disparaging or negative remarks concerning the other parent. Both parties shall hokl out
the other parent as one to whom the child should show respect and love.
Your client's remarks are certainly inappropriate, and contrary to the interests of Joshua.
Lest there be any question about the accuracy of my dient's report, I have suggested to Teresa
Kayn that she begin tape recording conversations between Dennis and Joshua or herself. This
should either end the problem or at least offer a practical way of documenting the truth of what is
said between these individuals.
I have discussed with Teresa that it may be unlawful to do this tape recording without a
person's advance knowledge but this letter is intended to constitute adVance notice that recording
will be occurring. Teresa has nothing to hide or to defend and this will help assure that poinl

Father, Dennis R Kayn, age 54, b. 11/5/45
Molher, Teresa D. Kayn, age 36, b. 11/5/63
Dear Attorneys:
Introduction. I initially performed a custody evaluation in this matter in September of 2000,
involving bolh an in-home evaluation and an individually administered psychological evaluation
with each parent. A thirteen page report was available by October 5, 2000, and it made three
recommendaUons: joint legal custody, prinwy physical custody for mo1her, and liberal partial
physical custody for father. I also suggested that individual counseling for each parent might be
beneficial
Subsequent to that evaluation father came to my office once, and he made five or six relatively
brief phone caDs to me. He wanted clarification about whelher the report meant that he should
receive less time with lhe child than. he had before, and the answer was "no." In subsequent
conversations wilh bolh attorneys this infonnation was conveyed. Falher also seemed to need a
sounding board for his disappointments and complaints about trying to negotiate custody matters
wilh mother. My response essentially was fowfold: talk to Teresa, discuss unresolved matters wilh
your attorney, be prepared to live with any decisions that you make as a falher, and seek
counseling. I pointed out to him that it was my responsibility to practice ethically and to maintain
objectivity and that I could not take lhe counselor's role.
The week of June 4 I received a call :from attorney Williams requesting a second evaluation. The
request was confinned in a subsequent letter (6/4) which attached an order (5/29) by lhe
Honorable J. Wesley Oner, Jr. allowing either party to "retain an evaluator" prior to lhe August 2
hearing, costs to be paid by lhe party seeking lhe evaluation. Falher has fonowed through with this

responsibility. In phone calls with both attorneys, the option of a fresh third party perspective was
discussed.
I met with father and son on the morning of Tuesday, Jwe 12, for approximately 2.5 hours. I met
with mother and son on the morning of Wednesday, Jwe 20, for approximately two hours. There
were subsequent phone calls with both parents for clarification of information, and father was
interviewed at my office on July 5.
AsseAAment methodolOllY_ I reviewed documents related to an alleged child abuse incident:
Chambersburg Hospital Report of Suspected Child Abuse (2/6/01), Protective Service
Investigation Report (2/7/01), Cumberland Cowty C & Y notificat.i.on of suspected abuse (2/8/01),
Child Abuse Interview Report (Earl Greenwald, MD., 2/8/01), Medical Examination (Earl
Greenwald, M.D., 2/8/01), Addendum from Earl Greenwald, MD. (3/2/01), and Cumberland
Cowty C & Y letter offindings (3/30/01).
I further interviewed both parents, with special focus on reactions to the observations made in the
last report, and made parentichild observations. The parents also completed a self-report
questionnaire and the InventoIy ofJnterpersonal Problems as it applies to their own relationship.
With the possible exception of abuse issues, parental criticisms of one another are not included in
this report unless the problem impacts parenliug and both agree on the information, and/or there is
confirtnation from a reliable third source.
CustOOv Goal. Pather hopes to be considered for more custody time, and before the child begins
school in the Fall of2oo2 he would prefer primaJ:y physical custody, but he would at least like the
recendy mandated summer schedule to be in effect year rowd, i.e., one week per month in
addition to the standard evety other week-end and one week-day overnight arrangement. Father
mentioned that he had kept information about multiple day care centers in the area, and he
specifically mentioned programs at Shippensburg and Wilson coneges.
Mather wishes to maintain primary physical custody either without cbaJJges in the current schedule
or with further limitations of father's time. She worries about the difficulty of trying to adjust to
two day care programs. She pointed out that Joshua's current day care has a 6/1 adult to child
ratio with a very low twnover rate and that he has been there two years.
Cu.~todv COQperation. Both indicate that cooperation on the court ordered time and place of child
t'rallsfur has been good, even though there have been changes in those factors, but there have been
differences of opinion on specific requests for flexibility.
Mother gave this example of how conununication breaks down: [1] Father requests a time change.
[2] Mother says "no. due to Joshua being invited for dinner at a friend's followed by a swimming
lesson. [3] At the last minute the family calls and cancels dinner. [4] Father asks Joshua ifhe
went to the family's home for dinner. (5] Joshua says "no." [6] Father concludes that mother was
lying. [7] Tensions and hard feelings are increased. In father's view the whole matter could have
been avoided by simply prioritizing the parent's request
GAP/CustodyEvaIIJoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 2
._,-',',""-,-'. ->':
Unstructured Observation. Father's Home. Child's Room. Joshua took me upstairs to show
me his room while faliter completed paperwork. There have been no essen1ial. changes since the
last evaluation. The child's tent, a small air mattress, small plastic chairs, and toy items are in his
bedroom rather than in the fa.miIy area, but his bed still sits, full of stuffed animals, at the foot of
his faliter's bed.
Behavior. Joshua was friendly, evidenced good rapport with his falher, and displayed good self-
management during my visit Faliter's behavior toward the cbild was supportive, encouraging, and
affec1ionate. Joshua was watching the WIZard of Oz when I arrived, and, off and on, continued to
watch that video. When he took me upstairs, he named the stuffed animals that were in his own
bed. I asked Josh to show me where he sleeps, and he crawled up on his father's bed, put his band
on a pillow, and said, "there."
When about fifteen minutes bad gone by he cl10se to go outside, and father put some toys in full
view outside the sun room so that he could play. During the visit Joshua played outside for a time
and then would come inside, and that pattern continued. He would talk briefly to his faliter each
lime; e.g. about trying to plant fonowers. He fonowed his father's boundaty setIing to give the
adults conversational privacy. At a point in time Joshua was allowed to go next door on his own to
ring the ben and ask if Andy (age 11) could play. He came back to say that no one answered.
Father showed some evidence of distraction and stress, perllaps an exacerbation of attention deficit
and depressive symptoms for which he takes the medications Addera1l and Paxi!. When Joshua
took me upstairs I found the water 1'lmni11g at full force in the bath room. Father also took 2 to 3x
longer than average to complete the personal data questionnaire. Consistent with feeling excessive
stress is the self-report of a 15 pound weight loss and loss of appetite "most days."
When providing personal data, after the "cbildren" item, father wrote the name ofhis daughter but
not the names ofhis sons. He also initia1ly indicated "blanks in memory most days," but later
indicated that it wasn't so. He also endorsed the items "adult sexual abuse" and "adult emotional
abuse," and these were left blank on the previous evaluation questionnaire. pethaps he was
confusing the sexual abuse item with what allegedly recently happened to Joshua.
Mother's Home. Clnld's Room. The appearance of the bedroom was simiJar to my last visit.
Over twenty pieces of Joshua's art wotk are on display. The bed is full of stuffed animals.
Pictures in the room include one of father holding up a catch offish.
[Mother advised that she added father's picture based on comments in the first evaluation report]
Behavior. Joshua was playing with his dinosaurs in the middle of the living room floor when I
arrived, and there was also a dinosaur and animal book in the area. Rapport between mother and
son was veJY good throughout the visit, and mother evidenced both patience and enthusiasm in the
interactions. At my request Joshua took me to his room and was able to name all the stuffed
animals on his bed.
Joshua chattered with his mother and dramalized stories as she sat on the floor with him and
completed the assigned paper wotk. She occasionally responded to his requests, such as helping
GAP/CustodyEvalIJoshuaKayn 6112/01 6/20/01 3
'''-'''''' ~;''',-~" '.,~'~ ,~,~",
him to get something out oflhe toy closet. Due to Joshua's desire for his molher's attention, it
took her somewhat longer than usual to complere the paper wod, and he also tended to interrupt
our attempts to talk. Molher did set boundaries and redirect him, but he returned fairly often.
Joshua had a brief crying spen when he was told that grandmother and stepgrandfather bad come
to take him to day care, but he settled rather quickly as his molher took him out to lhe car.
[As during lhe:first evaluation, Joshua was more attention seeking and emotional in molher's
environment. But molher was also the one who did not use the TV as a parenting tool However,
during lhe first evaluation, father was the one that didn't use lhe TV as a parenting tool The
spaciousness/freedom of father's home compared to mother's is certainly also a factor. We must
further consider that during visits with father, father has 100% lime to give the child, while mother
must be constan1ly sending him off to day care. There is also the possibility that father may
criticize mother to Joshua.]
Molher. Mother had concern in her voice and was close to tearfulness a fi:w limes, but she did not
report high levels of emotional twmoil or behave in ways that would suggest levels of stress,
depression, anxiety, or anger that interferes wi1hjudgment.
[Molher appears to be man'lg;ng her emotions more constructively than falher.]
Interview. Father. Residence. Dennis continues to live at 247 Chestnut Drive in Sbippensburg.
The home is for sale, and he is wailing for "an acceptable offer." He could not be definite about
when a move might occur.
Alcohol use. The last report indicated that Dennis bad developed an evening habit of drinking a
martini or vodka tonic and a beer, which resulted in "a little bit of euphoria, " and since that was
"more potent" than he wanted, there was a change to two beers in lhe evening. Dennis now
reports that he drinks one beer in lhe evening, "h tastes good with a snack and reading the paper."
He believes that his drinking "never affected behavior," but why, then, does he keep changing the
habit to less?
[Father noted that molher had expressed concern about alcohol use, but he did not express
awareness that lhe evaluator also mentioned concerns about alcohol use in lhe previous report.]
Sleeping Arrangements. Dennis acknowledged "no change" in lhe sleeping arrangements, and
said, "As often as not he'll be in bed with me or will crawl into his own bed with his animals."
Falher offered that Joshua wants "affection and to be held." He emphasized lhe love that father
and son have for each other, and he indicated that the sleeping arrangement should not be an issue
at this tender age. He affirmed that in lhe future lhere would be a separate bedroom for Joshua.
[Father took note that "molher" bad concerns about sleeping arrangements, but again he didn't
express awareness that lhe evaluator also mentioned dependency concerns about lhe arrangement
in lhe previous report.] ,

Extended Family. Dennis advised that he has maintained contact with the older children through
regular phone calls and cards since the last evaluation. There are plans for a trip to Florida this
year to see the extended family.
Personal Care. Dennis' work place recen1ly began to offer EAP services, and he is taking
advantage of four free counseling sessions with Susan Day at Summit Beha~oral Health. To date
he has attended one session. He continues to see Dr. Hegarty every 60 days for medication
management. He indicated that he had been taking the medication long enough that he was no
longer sure of its degree of helpfulness.
[Father did not connect taking this counseling step with anything that was said in the previous
evaluation. ]
Father/Son Interaction. Dennis indicated that he tries to do at least one special thing with Joshua
each week-end that they are together. He mentioned activities like ball games, attending concerts
at the Capitol Theater, hiking, fi~hing. swimming in mends' pools, Saturday morning h'braty time,
watching ~deos, reading books, and playing games like Booby Trap. About 75% of the time they
will attend church. He mentioned being eligt'ble for five weeks vacation and the possibility of
doing some traveling.
Interview: Mother. Residence. Teresa continues to rent the same aparlment, and she is currently
on a month to month lease. She has a contract to build a home, but that cannot happen until the
marital assets are settled. The home would be conslructed in the area offRt. 581 at exit 2, just a
few miles from her work and Joshua's day care center. She anticipates that it could be a fuR year
before the project can begin.
Extended FatIJibr. Teresa advises that she and Joshua made trips in October and March to Florida
and Missouri respectively and saw most ofher fatIJibr at those times. Her mother and stepfather,
one or the other, or both, haw been visiting in this area since the end of May and are scheduled to
return home June 21.
[Mother appears to have the more active relationship with extended family.]
Pel'!lonal Care. Teresa advises that she took seriously the observation in the first evaluation about
the helpfulness of counseling. She has been in sessions with Lucretia Hurley-Browning since
Januaty of this year. They have addressed the repression issues that were mentioned in the earlier
evaluation as well as self-assertiveness. The counselor cballenged her to pray for Dennis daily, and
she has managed to let go of some of her anger, although she might only say the prayers three
times per week. She completed her Divorce Care class that was meeting last FaD and found it to
be very helpful. She is curren1ly active in a women's outreach group at her church.
[Mother appears to have made a conscious decision to take self-care steps based on the first
evaluation. ]
Mother/Son Interaction. Teresa advised that Joshua had completed one set of swimming lessons
and that she would probably sign him up for the next set. They go with Joshua's mend and parent

to see plays by the Popcorn Hat Players. Church attendance is usually weekly, and Joshua attends
his own class and sings in the children's choir. They attend church events such as picnics.
Vacation Bible School fell on the week that he was with his father. Summer activity will probably
include trips to Washington and Balfunore. NeighboJbood mends are Brandon (4) and Trevor
(4). Mother noted which relalionship goes smoother and which requires more supervision.
Evening lime usually consists of a quick dinner, and then going to play, perhaps to the playground
and swimming pool, and riding a bike with training wheels.
Alleged Child Abuse. The following represents my understanding of the chronology and content
of events:
[1] Joshua was with father on Wednesday, JanuaIy 31, and father reports observing "no visible
iIUuries." The child was transferred to mother the next day, Thursday, February 1, at about
6:30AM.
[2) The alleged abuse occurred between Thursday, Feb.I and Sunday, Feb.4 when mother was
visiting a male mend in Norfolk, V~
[3) The alleged perpetrator was mother's adult male companion.
[4] Mother's male mend was with her and Joshua from late Thursday evening until after lunch on
Sunday.
[5] Following complaint of discomfort by Joshua while bathing, Mother reports seeing a penile
scratch or abrasion on Friday.
[6] Mother and Joshua returned hmne after lunch on Sunday.
[7] Father received Joshua at McDonald's in Carlisle on Tuesday evening, February 6, 5:30PM.
[8) Father took the child to Chambersburg Hospital the same evening where he was examined at
8:19PM
[9] Father reported that the child's penis was "pulled, " causing injury. Joshua told the nurse, "
(name) pulled it."
[10] Two days later Joshua reported this same act to an examiner and indicated that it took place
"on top ofhis clothing."
[11] Medically, the scratch is not consistent with the type of injury one might expect from the
action described, and it is considered "medically lrivial" and "accidental."
[12] Cumberland-Perry C & y detennined the abuse charge to be "unfounded,"
[13] Any negative interaction between Joshua and mother's companion cannot be defined with
reasonable certainty.
GAP/CustodyEvallJoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 6
,~ '
,'""'-'.",,,"
, . ',- '~-'~ ~,,- ~,~ ."'~~
~~~ ' .-._,
In reading over the documentation, I had several concerns: [1] Joshua apparently did not use the
word "penis" during his initial examination. [2] Joshua subsequently stated that mother "vety very
much" hurt his penis, but who believes that statement has credibility. Why, therefore, should other
statements be believed if this one is ignored? [3] Inconsistency and judgment uncerlainty in a three
to four year old is not surprising since that is an age when memory, o~ect constancy, language
development, and comprehension, are still in fluid fonnation.
There is a possibility that Joshua bears some degree of hard feelings toward mother's male friend.
[1] The three had walked and played on the beach on Saturday. At their apartment (1) they
attempted to put Joshua down for a nap. He would not listen to his mother to stay in bed. Her
male companion provided verbal back up and eventually physically placed Joshua in bed. [2]
Joshua had begun a habit of resisting his mother's authority by unbuclding his seat belt. Mother's
companion admonished him about not doing that as they left after lunch on SWlday.
One of father's very strong o~ections is any action of mother's which places a third party in the
position of disciplining Joshua. Mother responds, "I looked at these situations as someone backing
me up rather than discipline. I assume that Andy and Jennifer's parents monitor Joshua when he
plays over there without his father." Father agreed that Andy and Jennifer's parents do supervise
and set boundaries for Joshua when he plays at their homes, but he believes that this is a
qualitatively different circumstance than that provided by mother.
[We could question mother's judgment with regard to placing a three year old child in an
emotionally compromised position of acceptance of an intimate adult relationship, in a confined set
of circumstances, apart from that ofhis own parents, which he could not adequately understand.
However, on balance, there appears to be insufficient reason for any circumstances related to the
alleged abuse to be determinative of a custody decision.]
Inventory of Interpersonal Problems. Father. Although father endorsed cold/distant fee_
and social avoidance, he also endo1lled a "dependent" pattern of nonassertiveness, over
accommodation, and self-sacrifice, with the friction of vindictive and controlling urges agitating
just beneath the surface. This is a rather substantial picture of inner tunnoil: dependence in
conflict with avoidance, and accommodation in tension with very negative prompling.<l.
Perceptions, interpretations, and decisions are likely to be filtered through this confusing array of
emotion.
Mother. Here we also find a profile of cold/distant fee_ and avoidance but without the
intensity of the remaining emotional complications.
[These observations about father's emotions are consistent with the first custody evaluation and
with previous observations in this report. Mother appears to be filtering her perceptions and
experiences through a less complicated and confusing screen.]
The data to this point in the evaluation basically reiriforces the original decision to recommend
primary physical custody to mother. The information which follows also came to my attention
and seems to point in the same direction.
GAP/CustodyEval/JoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 7
L_,.",_ . _',,1_,
,"'0_-
,''','"
Potential Parent Alienation Data. O1her sources of data at mother's home included messages left
by father on the phone answering machine, and alleged transcripts of phone conversations between
father and mother and father and son: [1] After consul1ing with coneagues, I am choosing not to
refer to the transcripts because even though father told me, .Teresa did say during three or four
calls that she was taping them, and maybe twice when we were exchanging Joshua, . he also told
me that he never agreed to the taping, and I understand that there may be legal/ethical queslions
about material for which there was not mutual consent. Although by not hanging up and
con1inuing to talk, petbaps that could be interpreted as consent. [2] However, I will refer to the
messages, because father voluntarily left them on tape, knowing that mother and even Joshua
might hear them and pass the infonnalion along to someone else. Father's voice is dis1inclive, and
there is little doubt that he is speaking.
Before referencing the phone messages, I want to mention one piece of infonuation that mother
shared independent of giving me this material. She menlioned that father had told Joshua that
there was no money to buy a new car because mother took the money. When asked, father agreed
that he said this to Joshua. He felt that .truth. was the most important way to communicate with
the child.
[Father did not seem to have awareness that his rentaI'k was parent aJiena1ing and that finances
were an adult topic of conversation that was beyond the understanding of a three year old.]
Based on five phone messages of April 13 to which I listened when at mother's home, I asked
father the following queslions, all of which should have had a "yes" response:
Do you agree that you caIled Teresa an "unfit mother" when she didn't have Joshua in bed by
8:30PM? Answer. .No."
Do you agree that you left a message saying that most of her "social life" was "usually in the
bedroom? Answer. "No."
Do you agree that you left messages at least twice calling her a .slut?" Answer. .No....I may
have."
Father did say to me, "I do get angry and ftustrated.......but 1 never made bodily threats."
[The implication of this material is that Joshua is probably exposed to parent alienating remarks
from father.]
Summary. This report may be summarized by reading the bracketed sections or by reatlil1g the
following summary of infonuation which continues to favor mother as the primary physical
custody parent:
[1] Mother seemed much more aware of the meaning of the first evaluation and made changes
accordingly. Father seemed unaware of applying first evalualion suggestions, although he made
some changes.
GAP/CustodyEva1/JoshuaKayn 6/12/01 6/20/01 8
"
l1'i
I
[2] The appearance that Joshua may be more difficult to manage in his mother's environment
should not be attributed to poor paren1ing skiDs.
[3] Mother appears to be more actively involved with extended family.
[4] Mother appears to be man:tgi1'lg her emotions more constructively than does father, as
indicated by observation, interview, and the TIP.
[5] Alleged child abuse issues do not favor either parent, although mother could have been more
sensitive to the child's developmental vulnerability.
[6] There is evidence of parent alienating remarks by father and a lack of awareness of the child's
developmental vulnerability.
RerommendatiolL The recommendation again is shared legal custody and primary physical
custody to mother, but should father be given more time in the form of an additional one full week
per month until the child enters school full time? It is my professional opinion that the poor
communication between the parents and the need to adjust to another care environment at these
tender years indicate that the current school y~ schedule is best kept in place, while also keeping
lhe one extra week per month during the summer for father.

RE: Kayn v. Kayn
Dear Tom:
By letter of June 4, 2001, you advised that your client did not consent to anyone recording
his voice. I so instructed my client, and she has ceased taping any calls from Dennis - except
insofar as he chooses to leave a spoken message on her telephone answering machine. I have
not yet decided if I will present the tapes of the past conversations as evidence at the hearing on
August 2. I have already shared some of the recordings with you, and renew my offer to make the
tapes available to you for review prior to the hearing. Some of the tapes that document your
clienfs inappropriate statements regarding Teresa are simply recordings of messages he left on
her home answering machine - as to those remarks, he certainly intended to have his voice
recorded. I see no particular legal banrier to their admissibility beyond standard hearsay concerns.
With regard to the recordings of other telephone conversations between Dennis Kayn and
Joshua and Teresa over the last year, your client was on notice that Teresa would be taping the
calls, and the reason for her doing so. In this regard, see my letter of May 30. 2000, to Dennis's
former counsel, copy enclosed. For over a year, Dennis made no objection to the recording. In fact,
in one of the tapes I played for you, Dennis even states that he was probably being taped. Your
letter of June 2001, sent more than a year after my letter to Lynn MacBride, was the first indication
that Dennis Kayn did not consent to the recording of his voice. Prior to that, with notice to him, and
no objection from him. Teresa had every reason to assume your clienfs consent to the taping. As I
said, I am not sure that I will be using the tapes, but I don't understand your comment that
possession of the tapes would in any way be .objectionable" in and of itself.
I tried to contact you today in response to a call from Eugene Stecher. Happily for you, you
are off for two weeks.
I continue to await your promised responses to our Interrogatories and hope they will be
provided to us shortly after your return to work.
Sincerely,
Cc: Teresa Kayo

Dear Dr. Stecher:
This will co~ my telephone conversation that I represent Dennis It Kayn with regard to
a custody matter that is ,presently schedqIed for hearing in Cutnbedand County Court on August 2,
2001 beginning at 9:3(!) am. iI:I Courtroom No.1 before the HonorableJ. Wesley Oler, Jr. The
mother, Teresa D. Kayn, continues to be represented by Andrea C. Jacobsen, Esquire.
A13 you will no doubt recall, you performed a Child Custody Evaluationin September of
2000 for these patents with regard to their son, Joshua Ryan Kayn, bomMarch 5, 1997 . Your rePort
was dated October 5, 2000. We will need an update of that report for purposes of your testimony
at the hearing on August 2, 200 I. At a minimum, this would include reinterViewswith the parents
and the child; beyond that, we will be guided by whatever you think best and appropriate to complete
a thorough and independent evaluation for the benefit of Judge Oler.
This will also confirm that my client, Dennis R Ka}'ll;will be solely responsible for the cost
of your evaluation.

As you are no doubt aware, the mother has had primary custody of Joshua since she left the
, . marital residence in ShippenSburg on April 15, 2000 and moved to Mechanicsburg. Since then, the '
father hasessentialIy had custody every other' weekend and one weekday overnight each week.
Father is seekirig to change this for a number of reasons ~t I'm sure he will explain to you,
including the fact that iii August of2002; Joshua will start kindergarten. Mother has had primary
custody for the past year, with Father relegated to every othetweekend and one weekday overnight.
. Although the weekday overnight has been difficult because Father does all the transportation, he has
done itb~cause he feels that two wl:eks without seeing his son is too long. With Mother living in
Mechanicsburg,and Father living rn Shippensburg, itseellls likely that one patty will be limited to
every other weekend during the school year beginning the end of AuguSt, 2002.'

otherwise,. I will await receipt ofyow- updated report.

Mr. Kayn has recently raised an objection to the taping of the conversations, and Teresa

her answering machine.
I look forward to receiving the written report of your recent custody re-evaluation in this

Re: Kayn v. Kayn, No. 00-2469, Civil Term
Dear Judge Oler;
After last week's hearing, you issued an Order of Court, dated August 3, 2001, in the above
case. I am writing to you because I suspect that there maybe a typographical error in that Order.
Your Order of Court provides for primary physical custody in Plaintiff, the mother, and
temporary or partial physical custody in Defendant, the father, at specified times. Paragraph 2.d.,
relating to visitation for the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays, states, in part,
...Defendant shall have custody of the child from 2:00 p.m. on Christmas Day until 6;00 p.m.
on January 30.
Emphasis added. The hearing testimony indicated that last year, by agreement, Defendant had
custody of the child for Christmas Eve through Christmas morning and again from December 26
through December 30. Given the usual length of Christmas visits, and that the subparagraph is
otherwise dealing with holiday time, it appears that the reference in the Order to January rather than
December is inadvertent. A visit through December 30 would be in line with the past practice of the
parties, and the fact that there is no provision for Plaintiff to see the child for over five weeks if the
Christmas visit were intended to extend through the end of January.
On August 6, 2001, I tried to call Tom Williams regarding the language of the Order. When
I learned he was out of town until yesterday, I wrote him and asked if he could agree to a
modification. Tom Williams called me back yesterday afternoon and informed me that his client
was out of town for a week with the child and he could not respond to me until he had spoken with
Mr. Kayn. To avoid further delay, I am writing now, while this matter may still be in your mind, to
request that you review the Order, and, ifthe reference to Jar.uary is an error, issue a correction.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully,
JACOBSEN & MILKES

RE: Kayn v. Kayn
No. 2000-2469
Dear Tom:
I enclose my en'try of appearance in this case. I understand a few items need to
be worked out between the parties to conclude their custody arrangement. Andrea
Jacobsen has been good enough to stay in the case to do that. I am representing
Teresa with regard to the divorce and any custody issues which arise into the future.
My review of the File indicates that '''.ndrea Jacobsen served on Taylor Andrews
a set of Interrogatories and a Request for Production of Documents on February 2,
2001. There have been some reminder letters, but no discovery is forthcoming. Please
ask your client to answer the Interrogatories and provide the documents requested.
Thank you for your help.
\j ery truly yours,
SAlOIS. SHUFF, FLOWER & LINDSAY, P.C.
