Dear Judge Oyler:
Per your Order of Court, dated October 31, 2000,
I am writing this summary report of my psychological
eval uation of Mr. Scott A. r~atthews and f1rs. Kimberly
D. Matthews in reference to the custody of their two
children, Lacee and Dakota. I met with both parties
individually and also had each parent bring their children
for an inter'view separate from the other parent. Mr. Shawn
Rickabaugh accompanied Mrs. Matthews when she brought her
children to my office.
~1r. Mark Swartz, Esq. forwarded his petition to modifY
custody, a March 10, 2000 Stipulation and Agreement and Court
Order, dated October 31, 2000 to my office. There has been no
records forwarded from Mr. Matthew Eshelman, Esq. to my office.
Mr. Matthews provided me with hand written notes attempting
,
to specify his concerns. t1rs. Matthews only documentation was
a brief letter from the children's teachers attesting to their
school attendance and positive functioning in school this school
year.
The parties reported that they married in 1992 and separated
around Christmas, 1997. Initially, they agreed that Mrs.
Matthews would have primary custody of the children and Mr.
Matthews would have visitation every weekend. fIrs. Matthews
petitioned to limit visitation to every other weekend and
agreed to alternating weeks during the summer months. Apparently,
the March 10, 2000 Stipulation and Agreement further clarified
Chri stmas hol i days and exchange agreements for Mr. Matthews'
visitations with the children. Mr. t'1atthews' current peJ;,il~ion
IllY
J / ^
<to;
Matthews vs, Matthews
Pa ge 2
dated July 27, 2000, requests that he be c0nsidered for
primary custody of the children.
It was specifically explained to both parents that
the purpose of this child custody evaluation was "to
provide the court with a picture of the family at this
time, with an assessment of family dynamics, specific
parent concerns, each parent 1 s abil I ty to provl de fOI' thei r
children's needs and a suggested parenting arrangement for
the restructured far,lIlies".
Mr. Matthews specifically stated that Mrs. Matthews "is
not a bad ~om" but her living companion, Mr. Shawn Rickabaugh,
"doesn't have or want any children". Mr. Matthews votted
concerns about his children's alleged fear of Mr. Rickabaugh
suggesting that he is irritable and Intolerant with the
children. "1r. ~Iatthews gave few specifics other than to suggest
that there may have been inappropriate punishment of Dakota's
en cop r e tic (s 0 i 1 i n g) a c c ide n t s. ',1 r. fl a t the w s a 1 s 0 que s t ion e d
the appropriateness of Mr. Rickabaugh allegedly showering with
Dakota. /oIr, Matthews suggested that he could hear Mr. Rickabaugh
making profane or crude remarks when he (Mr. Matthews) would
talk to the children on the telephone. Mr. Matthews opined that
Mrs. Matthews tolerated Mr. Rickabaugh's alleged treatment of
the children "because she has no other place to live".
Mrs. Matthews admitted to frustration and over-reactions
regarding Dakota's chronic encopresis. She admitted to switching
with branch on 1-2 occasions and also having him stand outside
after a particularly messy accident in July, 2000. He currently
reports that she has started Dakota on medication and that he
has been "accident free" for several weeks. Mrs. /oIatthews
suggested that she was responsible fur.punishing Dakota, not
r~ r , R i c k a b a ugh. The r e 1'1 a s tot aId e n i a 1 0 fan y s h owe r'i n 9 1'1 it h
Dakota other than a "quick wash-off of sand" at a public beach
this last summer. Both Mr. Rickabaugh and Mrs. Matthews are
over-weight. They appeared to be sensitive to the children's
feelings, especially r~r. flatthews' reports that they allegedly
t~atthews vs. tlatthews
rage 3
called Lacee "fat". ~lr. Ric~abau(Jh did admit to conflicts
with t1r. Matthews but suggested that ~Ir. tlatthews has "never
accepted Mrs. Matthews' leaving the Marriage". He denied any
h a r r ass men t 0 f 11 r. t1 a t the w s ~I hen the r ewe r e tel e p h 0 n e con ve r sat ion s
with the c h 11 d r en. 11 r s. t1 at thew s a 1 so s u 9 I) est e d t hat ~1 r .
Matthews "loves his children very much". She did suggest that
he would return them early on occasion, especially when he
was in confl ict with his girlfriend. She also questioned his
consistency with bathing the children or making sure that they
changed their clothing on a ctaily basis. ~Irs. Matthews is a
stay-at-home mother. tir. Matthews is employed from 2:00 p,m.
until midnight, five days per week.
There was no report of drug or alcohol problems with either
party. Mr. ~1atthews had a PFA filed against him when Mrs. Matthe~ls
initially left the marriage. There is no other significant arrest
record admitted. Mrs. Matthews saw a mental health professional
and took anti-depressant medication in the past. There did not
appear to be limitations of depression at this time.
Both Dakota and Lacee were seen on two occasions. They were
friendly and fairly verbal during both meetings. There was
minimal overt anxiety evident. They did appear to be too
aware of their parents' struggles, disagreements and current
custody petitions. Neither child admitted to being afraid of
Mr. Rickabaugh. Dakota did not know who made him stand outside;
He did report that it was during the summer, "not for a long time".
Dakota admitted to calling Lacee names. Lacee remembered her
mother talking to her about "getting fat if she eats too much".
Both children suggested that Mr. Rickabaugh helpE them with
their homewoek "if mom doesn't know how to do it". Dakota
spontaneously reported a preference to live with his father.
He could give no reason for his choice and there appears to
have been extra awareness of his father's court actions at this
time. Lacee did not verbalize any specific preference for either
parent to live with. Mr. Matthews thought that Lacee would be
ambivalent and also aSEumed that Dakota would probably choose
Matthews vs. Matthews
Page 4
to live with his mother.
In summary, both parents are most probably capable of
providing adequately for their childl'en, The children appear
to be functioning adequately with the current custodial
arrangement. There do not appear to be drastic 01' cleal'ly
signif'lcant changes in either parent's life since their last
agreement in March, 2000. The children's pn!ferences are not
clear. There are no clear allegations of abuse 01' neglect,
Drug or alcohol abuse is not alleged, The primary issue
appears to be confl ict between ~Ir. Natthelvs alld Ilr. Rickabaug:l.
Although there may be a kel'nal of truth in ~Ir. l'latthe"s I
concerns, reported incidents appear to be reasonable errors
of judgement versus any clear pattern of irresponsible
treatment of the chi ldren. ~Ir. Matthews clearly tlas every right
to be respected as the children's father and all of his concerns
should be respected by both Mrs. Matthews and Mr, Rickabaugh,
HO~lever, after three years of separation, ',Ir. Hatthe"s must
al so respect flrs. Matthe"s I choi ces and bel ieve that she wi 11
protect and respect their children.
At this time, I could not discover any basis for a total
Change of a custodial agreement that harl just been reviewed
several months ago. /1r. Matthews appears to have a very significant
role in his childrens' lives. Due to the fact that there has
been significant conflict beh/een the parties , any type of joint
custody is not advised. It is specifically recommended that Mrs.
Kimberly t1atthews remain as the primary custodial parent for
Lacee and Dakota Matthews.

However, after three years of separation, Mr, Matthews must
also respect Mrs. Matthews' choices and believe that she will
protect and respect their children.

S. The custody schedule of the p!\rtles two minor children has been set by Order of
Court dated May 19, 1999. A copy of said Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and
incorporated heroin by reference thereto.
6. Due to an incident which occurred at the home of the Defendant, Kimberly D.
Matthews, during an exchange of the children in which the Plaintiff, Scott A. Matthews, was
physically assaulted by Defendant's boyfriend without provocation, Plaintiff is requesting
modification and/or clarification of the current Court Order.
7. Plaintiff has serious concerns including the safety of himself and his children
should the custody exchanges continue to take place at the residence of the Defendant and her
boyfriend.
8. Various problems have arisen regarding exchange times and custody periods
during holidays,
9. Plaintiff believes that a more detailed custody schedule for holidays is required to
facilitate an amicable exchange of the children between the parties.
10. The Plaintiff, Scott A. Matthews believes and therefore avers that it is in the best
interest of the minor children that the custody exchanges occur at school rather than at the
residence of the Defendant and her boyfriend and that the holiday custody schedule be modified.
