What Is Parental Alienation?
Parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is used to describe a parent’s efforts to negatively affect their child’s relationship with the other parent.
Parental alienation often involves:
- Speaking negatively about the other parent in front of the child
- Making up lies about the other parent
- Encouraging the child to spend less time with the other parent
In many cases, parental alienation is intentional, but sometimes it is simply the exposing of children to one parent’s hostility toward the other.
Warning Signs of Parental Alienation
Parental alienation is a complicated topic with many variables. The court will attempt to discern whether allegations of parental alienation are genuine.
You may be the victim of parental alienation if you notice:
- Your child is moody around you or refuses to talk to you
- Your child requests to stay with the other parent
- Your child speaks highly of their other parent but talks badly about you
- A significant change in your relationship with your child
Advocating for Your Parental Rights in Child Custody Disputes
If you are being affected by parental alienation, it is in your best interest to retain an attorney rather than try to handle the situation alone. Accusing the other parent can start a fight and only make things worse.
Our parental alienation lawyers in Brooklyn can petition the court on your behalf. In some situations, it may be necessary to appoint a forensic expert, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist, who can diagnose PAS and testify in court. We may request a more tightly structured parenting time order – possibly including supervised therapeutic visits – that prevents further alienation and provides you increased access to the child. In some cases, we may advocate for a change of custody to help remedy the situation.

J.M.
Mr. Arnel thank you very much for your help. When I received the court paper I wanted to call someone for help, you were the first Lawyer I call. You had help me before with some child support difficulties. And when I couldn't reach you, you daughter, Lawyer Lauren Arnel answered the phone. She was very understanding and kind enough to give me your email address. The day I came to New York City for the court date, I came with a heavy heart not knowing what's going to happen. But in the court that day Lawyer Howard Gardner presented the case beautifully and ask the court for a dismissal. And the Judge had to dismiss the case with no further argument. When I left the court room that day I was so happy my blood pressure went down.
All in all, It was a team work from your Firm. Thank you again to Mrs. L. Arnel and Mr. H. Gardner.
I will always recommend you Firm to anyone who is seeking legal help.
Mr. Arnel thank you very much.

Excellent law firm. I am a father/service member that was awarded primary physical custody, final decision making of my son, and my child support payments was terminated thanks to Arnel law Firm. Curt, Lauren and Howard have years of experience and will represent you like Mike Tyson in the ring. They are relentless to the very end. They were able to prove that I was the more involved parent, had my son the majority of the time ( because of the mother choices), and was able to prove the mother's statement of having our son half the time was false along with many other false statements. Also they are honest with you from the beginning in terms of letting you know whether or not your case has enough substance to move forward to a court proceeding and even if its not they will advise you in the consultation what steps you will need to take. They will not waste your or their time. Highly recommend this law firm for divorce and custody battles.M.D.

Mr. Arnel and his daughter Ms. Lauren Arnel litigated my divorce jurisdiction dispute with complete success. I felt very confident in their advocacy of my case. Mr. Arnel is a gifted attorney; I could not have asked for better. He is highly persuasive, professional, doesn't mince words, yet gracious and gentlemanly at the same time. He inspires confidence, and the outcome proved my confidence in him was well placed.Rachel A.

I was extremely devastated when I reached out to the law office due to concern over a potential custody battle. I left a message and was contacted the same day and time that I was given. Curt was so attentive and knowledgeable. All of the questions I had were answered. I left the phone call feeling 100 times better than I did when I originally called. Even after asking a bunch of questions knowing that I wouldn't need his services he continued to answer questions with honest answers making it very clear how efficient he was in his field. I am very happy that I found him and honestly hope I won't have to use him in the future. However if the services are needed I would definitely pick him!Former Client

I highly recommend and respect Mr. Curt Arnel for all of his hard work and dedication to my custody case in the past. Mr. Arnel's knowledge, expertise, perseverance, and understanding helped my father to win our case which was NOT a walk in the park. I am forever grateful for everything Mr. Arnel has done for my father and I. Because of Mr. Arnel, I was given a chance to have a great life with my father who was loving, devoted, and did everything in his power to protect and educate me and provide the best life possible. Mr. Arnel saved me from a very unfortunate situation with my mother at a very young age. Due to his amazing work ethic and determination years ago, I am a successful woman and mother today!

If I could give 10 stars I would. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position where you need to speak to an attorney to resolve any issues concerning your family, Curt Arnel and his team should be your only call. This is a long post. I called Mr. Arnel's office expecting to speak to a receptionist, I was wrong. Mr. Arnel answered the phone and we had a 45-minute conversation about our issue. He was so generous with his time. He answered every question I had and even brought up a few points I didn't even think of. I was blown away at how casual the conversation was. It was like I was speaking with an old friend. I never felt rushed. He explained to me how he had just resolved a similar matter and explained the whole process including numerous options to resolve the matter. My wife and I took his advice and are so thankful we did. If you or someone you know needs a family lawyer call Curt Arnel. You'll be glad you did. We are.B.P.
