Learn How to Take Legal Action to Stop Parental Alienation

Divorce is an emotionally trying time for both parents and children. The difficulty of a divorce is made worse when one parent tries to “poison” their children against the other parent. This is known as parental alienation, and there are legal actions you can take to stop this destructive behavior.

What is Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)?

Parental Alienation Syndrome (also known as PAS) is a mental health issue and is a medically recognized disorder. PAS occurs when one parent regularly belittles and insults the other parent without justification. It causes unnecessary estrangement of a child from the parent and causes emotional distress for both the child and the parent. Parental Alienation Syndrome is often seen in custody disputes where the custodial parent attempts to prevent a child from spending time with the other parent, or when a parent says or does things that make the child fearful that the other parent will hurt him or her. Our experienced Calabasas and Beverly Hills family law attorneys are familiar with this family law and divorce issue and we can take legal actions to help prevent it from happening to your child.

Legal Options in Parental Alienation Cases

Family courts in California do not take kindly to allegations of parental alienation – especially because this type of mental abuse can cause long-term issues with the relationship you have with your child. Experienced family and divorce lawyers can use legal strategies to help put a stop to this destructive behavior, including:

  • Getting a custody evaluation to help prove the allegations
  • Getting a court order to stop alienation
  • Getting a court sanction against the offending parent
  • Requesting the presence of a third party during visitation

Our attorneys act with the best interests of your children in mind. You do not have to suffer the emotional toll that alienation takes on you and your children.

Intake Process

Step 1

How Do You Pick the Right Family Law Attorney? First, you must start scheduling consultations with different attorneys to be sure that your attorney is someone with whom you get along with and whose personality blends with yours. You need to find an attorney who is knowledgeable and one who has years of experience in family law. Price is also a consideration. When it comes to family law, this is not an area where you want to "bargain shop." To simplify your experience in finding the right attorney, here is the Intake Process so you know what to expect when calling our office.

Step 2

~|icon_close_alt~|elegant-themes~|solid

When you call Feinberg & Waller, APC for an initial consultation, our Case Intake Manager will ask some basic questions about you, your spouse, your financial picture, and your case. Our Intake Process helps us determine if we can handle your matter while managing the needs of our existing clients. Feinberg & Waller, APC limits the number of cases we accept because we've found that selectivity advances our commitment to excellence.

Step 3

After we receive your basic information, we run a conflict check to make sure we have not spoken with your spouse in the past. We want to confirm there will be no conflict for us working with you as a potential new client. Thereafter, we will call you back to inform you of the results of the conflict check. If we are able to assist you, our Case Intake Manager will go over the range in fees, from our paralegals at $195/hr, to our associate attorneys starting at $250/hr, and our Certified Family Law Specialists (CFLS) starting at $550/hr. Due to the costs associated with processing new clients, the initial one-hour consultation fee is a flat rate in the amount of $600. 

Step 4

If we are able to handle your matter, we will schedule your consultation with one of Feinberg & Waller's Certified Family Law Specialists. A CFLS has gone through a rigorous process of proven qualifications. They are better trained and more experienced than most other non-certified family law attorneys. You want to be sure to be on equal footing, if not better, than your spouse in terms of the credentials of your team. You want a lawyer who is committed enough to their craft to become board certified.
