Parental alienation theories continue to be used in the family court systems. The more battered women advocates continue to fight against it, the more it morphs and expands. It is not a matter of who is doing it more often or whether it exists. It is a convenient tool that attempts to explain basic human parental behaviors while making money for the court system, attorneys and Guardians Ad Litem,

Have you ever asked why we need domestic violence shelters? We have many shelters for women throughout the U.S., and yet, it is supposedly not enough. And apparently we need more for men, because there really aren't many. If men have been getting abused all along, where have they been going? Women go to shelters in order to seek safety from danger, but that threat has to be imminent--likely to

First, let me thank Peter Jamison for his extensive article California Family Courts Helping Pedophiles, Batterers Get Child Custody . Please, go read it. Understand that what he describes is not unique to the State of California. I want to point out a couple of things in Jamison's article: First, let's talk about Amy Baker who works in the New York/New Jersey area. Actually, I have talked

It appears there is an entire industry that profits from the misery of women who have been in abusive relationships and are desperately seeking justice in the court system that is supposed to protect them and their children. For many of them, that justice will never come because they are unaware that with all the knowledge and understanding they are seeking for themselves, the system which holds

Dear Dr. Warshak: In a porn sting, FBI raids home of parent and finds images of child porn including "bestiality, bondage and other sexually deviant acts." The parent spends time in prison. The parent gets out of prison and files for full custody because the other parent didn't bring the kids to prison visitation. Is this what parental alienation looks like? http://dastardlydads.blogspot.com

If "parental alienation" existed in the the intact family (which you theorists have verified that it does occur in absence of divorce), why should it be such a focus now that the parents are separated/divorced? And who are you going to rely on to tell you the truth about what occurred within the family: the "alienated parent" who may have an agenda, the "alienator" who has no obligation to

Dear Dr. Warshak, I have been accused of parental alienation because my adolescent child won't visit his father, my ex husband. If my son's father is an alcoholic and chronic cheater that is into child porn, and my son knows about at least 2 out of 3 of what I mentioned, how do you suggest that I promote the relationship between father and son in order to remove the parental alienation label?

Dear Dr. Warshak, Dr. Amy J. Baker's research confirmed that "parental alienation" occurs in intact families--that is, families that have not been through a divorce or separation. I am sure this must have been found in other literature as well. My question is, if parental alienation is a mental health diagnosis serious enough to warrant inclusion in the DSM V, how do you propose to treat it

Updated! I, like the writer at Dastardly Dads, thought that this article was about to be pointed in the right direction because of the name of the title. I'm not sure why the fuck I thought that.

I am always so excited when Barbara Kay has an article published. She is so truthful and factual in her support of father's rights. Let's take a look: We have British Columbia's first review of family law in B.C. since the Family Relations Act came into force more than thirty years ago. Their July "White Paper on Family Relations Act Reform" (accepting submissions until Oct. 8) contains

“Nationwide studies have proven that the judges follow our recommendations 80 to 90 percent of the time..." Oh really? "The court decides the fate of children who are victims of neglect or abuse. In such cases, both the mother and father are each represented by a lawyer, one the state is required to provide if they can’t afford it." Well, except in family court--if you are a parent and you don't

You never know how your kids will turn out. You give your life for them and sometimes they turn around and stab you in the back. A now adult child discovered that he was on the missing kids list. It has been 17 years since his mother has seen him. This man decided to turn his own father, Stephen Palacios, in to the federal authorities. What an ungrateful individual. Even his father's attorney,

Keep in mind that this is The New Randi James In Texas, two girls and one boy were recently shot to death by their father, Mohammed Goher. (This really isn't news and this isn't a special case, it happens all the time.) The father was a convicted wife beater. The father had previously threatened to kill himself if he lost custody of his children. The children's lawyer, SYED IZFAR, was about to

Those "Mommy and Me" classes are so exclusionary. What's with all this stuff for moms only? We have fathers, grandparents, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers, step-parents, babysitters and other persons who are caregivers of children who would benefit from these classes. There's a famous quote by Gloria Steinem that I think is worth repeating here: "Women are not going to be equal outside the

In the next few days I'll be changing things around. I have a new outlook on domestic violence that I would like to share. This outlook is pretty much supported by our U.S. government, the institutions therein which include the people who make up these institutions and mainstream society at large.I urge you not to get upset with me and not to try to censor this site.

Frankly, I'm tired of blogging domestic violence. I'm tired of blogging homicide news. The picture is so bleak because it is multifaceted. The d.v. "industry" is about getting grant money for salaries and trainings and doing the [important] front end work of sheltering abused women who seeking shelter...but they stop short of telling women what happens afterward when she is forced to continue

In most states that I have been aware of, when the mother's child support case is handled through Child Support Enforcement (CSE) (mainly when she receives any type of welfare benefits), the father is made responsible for covering the children's health insurance. In my own experience, this was not specifically enforced and the kid just got Medicaid anyway--no money out of my pocket. If there

In the family court arena, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) has been helpful to some and an obstruction/destruction to others. Where mothers have reported suspected or actual abuse by the father, sometimes DCF comes in an substantiates the abuse and therefore provides evidence to the court that the mother may not have had or been able to obtain on her own.
