CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN CUSTODY
ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER
AND NOW, this
/5t1>
day of
d1.J1
, 2004, comes Defendant,
Daniel R. Ickes, by and through his counsel, Linda A. Clotfelter, and files this Answer with New
Matter, as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is denied that the minor children were born in
wedlock. These parties have never been married. Defendant (hereinafter referred to as
"Father") also denies any implication herein that the presence of the children in the custody
of Plaintiff (hereinafter referred to as "Mother") is proper in that Mother removed the
children from the residence without Father's consent and Father wishes to have the children
returned to his custody and the home in which they hav,e lived the last two (2) years. The
other allegations of this paragraph are admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Denied. It is denied that the individuals listed are the only people residing in the residence.
In further answer hereof, Mother and the children that ar'~ the subject of this proceeding have
moved into the home of Mother's father, the maternal grandfather, Floyd Ewing, Sf.
6. Denied. Father lacks sufficient knowledge information to determine the truth of the
averments in this paragraph therefore, same is denied and strict proof thereof is demanded
at trial.
7. Denied. It is specifically denied by Father that granting Mother primary custody ofthe
children is in their best interest. The subparts of this allegation are further denied as follows:
(a) Denied. It is specifically denied that Mother is in the best position both financially
and emotionally to provide a stable and responsibk environment for the children. In
further answer hereof, Mother's recent erratic conduct is an example of her emotional
instability, and permitting the children to reside primarily in such an unstable
environment is not in their best interest.
(b) Denied. See answer to subsection (a) above. In fUrther answer hereof, Mother has
admitted to Father that children are not adjusting well to their recent move to their
grandfather's house.
( c) Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that it is in the best interest of the
children to maintain a relationship with Mother, however any implication that is the
only parental relationship of importance is denied. In further answer hereof, it is also
important that the children maintain a relationship with Father.
(d) Denied. It is denied that Mother has been the only primary caretaker for the children.
In further answer hereof, Father has provided primary care for the children on a
regular basis since birth. He has had the opporttmity to bath and feed them and he
is the parent that retrieves them from school each day because he is home from his
employment much earlier than Mother.
8. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Father, Daniel R. Ickes, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny
Mother's requests for primary physical custody, and grant the parties shared legal custody with
primary physical custody to Father and partial physical custody to Mother at times as mutually
agreed.
DEFENDANT'S NEW MATTER COUNTJERCLAIM
9. Defendant's responses to paragraphs one (1) through eight (8) are incorporated herein as
if fully set forth.
10. Father seeks shared legal custody and primary physical custody of the children that are
the subj ect of this proceeding.
11. Granting Father's request for shared legal custody and primary physical custody is in the
best interest of the children for the following reasons:
a. Father is able to provide a stable home environment that is familiar to the children
because they have lived there for the past two (2) years. Returning the children to
their home with Father would permit them to again experience the structure that is
essential to the healthy emotional, spiritual, and physical development of the
children. Also, it would be less disruptive for the: parties' daughter, Cheyenne,
who is very shy and quiet, in that she could retum to the same school that she had
been attending for the last two (2) years.
b. Father has been a primary caregiver for the children since their birth and if Father
is not available to provide care, Father has a support structure available to assist
him with the care of the children. More specifically, the paternal grandfather,
Daniel Ickes, is retired and as a result is available to care for the children during
those times when they are not in school and Father must work.
c. Father would encourage the children's relationships with both parents and
extended family members because it is in the best interest ofthe children.
d. Mother's conduct has been erratic and is indicatilve of her emotional instability
and her misplaced motivations resulting in conduct that is not in the best interests
of the children. More specifically, Mother removed the children from the
residence in which the family lived without informing Father. In addition, Mother
has been using the children, this proceeding, and a divorce proceeding (despite the
fact that the parties were never married), to force Father to agree to certain
material purchases that Mother desires.
WHEREFORE, Father, Daniel R. Ickes, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant
the parties shared legal custody and grant Father primary physical custody with partial custody to
Mother as agreed upon by the parties and grant such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,
