The Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo Is Committed to Fighting for Fathers’ Rights Throughout the New York Metropolitan Area

Parent alienation is not a new concept; however, it has become more accepted by New York courts in recent years. The Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo handled one of the earliest cases in New York where a child was awarded to a parent because of parental alienation.

What Is Parental Alienation Syndrome or PAS?

R.A. Gardner, generally credited with the discovery of parental alienation syndrome (PAS) defines it as follows:

”The parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is a disorder that arises primarily in the context of child custody disputes. Its primary manifestation is the child’s campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. It results from the combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent’s indoctrinations and the child’s own contributions to the vilification of the target parent. 1”

Parental alienation syndrome is not always obvious. Approximately 20% of the cases are the result of the programming parents’ direct, negative verbal comments or overt actions; however, in the vast majority of cases, PAS is caused by subtle negative actions on the part of the programming parent, such as frowning or being dismissive of the other parent.
