New York City Parental Alienation Lawyer

How a New York City Parental Alienation Attorney Could Help You

A divorce can be one of the most difficult and emotional times in the life of a parent. It only becomes more difficult when children are negatively affected by the change. This is especially true when one parent acts in a way that disturbs the child's relationship with the other parent. At the Midtown Manhattan Law Offices of Andrew J. Spinnell, LLC, we represent parents throughout the greater New York City metropolitan area in issues of child custody and visitation.

Fairly often in our law practice, we see parents who are bitter about their divorce. They use their children almost like weapons, pitting them against the other parent. From saying a few nasty things to launching an outright campaign to destroy the relationship, parental alienation varies in every family relationship. A sign of parental alienation is when the children show strong dislike or hatred toward one of the parents. Sometimes is it due to some type of child abuse, whether it is physical, emotional, or sexual violence. However, this is not always the case. It could be due to negative comments from the other parent, in which case, action must be taken to stop this rejection.

Our Manhattan divorce attorneys believe that parental alienation is a destructive force, and we encourage our clients not to engage in it by refraining from saying anything negative about an ex-spouse while the children are present. Children need both parents in their lives.
