Parental Alienation Syndrome
Parental Alienation Syndrome, or PAS, is a genuine disorder recognized by the courts and is characterized by one parent manipulating and brainwashing a child into disliking or blaming the other parent during or after the divorce.
Parental alienation syndrome takes many forms. It may involve the children being uninterested in visiting with a parent. Or the child may blame you for the divorce and act sullen or quiet when they visit. In extreme cases, the child takes on the persona of the other parent and displays open hostility. You may want to consider the fact that your spouse or former spouse is working to alienate your children from you.
If you believe this may be occurring, immediately contact my office at our local number 1(516) 491-0565. As experienced divorce and family law attorneys, we can provide you with legal options to address your particular situation. Parental alienation is an underhanded practice that can only have detrimental effects upon a child. A child has the absolute right to be loved and nurtured by both parents.
Exclusion
"Exclusion" is similar to parental alienation syndrome without the effects of alienation. It occurs when one parent tries to prevent a parent from being a part of the child's life by excluding them from the child's activities, or from refusing to permit the other parent to have time with the child. It is a subtle form of alienation that should never be tolerated.
