Forms of Parental Alienation
Parental alienation can take many forms, including allegations of neglect, abuse or mental disorders, and may involve grandparents and other relatives. It can be as simple as interference with visitation or telling the child lies in order to foster prejudice against the other parent. It may even result in psychological problems for the child, including parental alienation syndrome. Parental alienation syndrome is a disorder that causes a child to look negatively upon or even insult a parent due to coercion or persuasion from the other parent.
Our firm represented a client in a 2005 New York Supreme Court decision that stated: "A strong and important factor that must be considered in any custody determination is whether a parent is or may be attempt to alienate a child's affection for the other side. Indeed, it has been said that interference with the relationship between the child and the non custodial parent is an act so inconsistent with the best interests of the child as to raise per se probability that the offending party is unfit to act as a custodial parent."
