dedicated to
my son, Zachary....
who was alienated from me between the ages of 8 & 9 by his father & his girlfriend, who was once my friend in the first place. now
 
 Zachary is 20. he still lives with his father & the girlfriend who vowed, "I've stolen your husband already and now I will steal your son."
 
I pray for Zac's mental health, relationship abilities and the quality of his self esteem as he continues to deal with his father & his father's wife's abusive & controlling natures.
 
I pray for all of you who have been through similar situations, your children and the condition of all families in today's society.

In Kilgore v. Boyd Case No. 95-7573 the Court ruled:

If I do have to apply a Frye test he has passed the Frye test. And I find that parental alienation syndrome has passed the Frye test in my courtroom, which is a Circuit Court Courtroom in the Family Law division, based on the evidence and argument before me.

Alienation in New Jersey
By: Mark Gruber, J.D., L.L.M.
Natalie L. Moran, Esq.

This article includes:

  • a list of symptoms & types of behavior, as defined by Douglas Darnell, Ph.D., that are common in cases of parental alienation
  • descriptions of the types of alienators
  • Case Law, Transfer of Custody
  • Interference with Custody Sanctions: Criminal Sanctions, Civil Sanctions
  • Parental Alienation A Cause for Action
  • Parental Alienation Alternate Approach

Parental Alienation causes the alienated parent emotional distress, as it prevents the injured parent from having a relationship w/their child.

A parent who has had a child alienated from them, by the acts of the other parent could easily make out a claim against the alienating parent that would satisfy the "outrageous" element necessary to establish a cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress or outrageous conduct.
 
Making false accusations of sexual abuse against a parent, interfering w/parenting time & purposely destroying the relationship between parent & child, is the type of behavior that could be seen as so extreme, to go beyond all possible bounds of decency & be regarding as atrocious & intolerable in a civilized community.

A tort action against one spouse could be joined in a divorce action if the behavior occurs before or during the pendancy of the divorce action. The action could also be brought post judgment if the alienation does not occur until after the divorce, which is often the case.

Mark Gruber is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a matrimonial attorney. He is a fellow w/the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers & has offices in Hopatcong & Newton, New Jersey.

Natalie L. Moran is an associate w/the firm of Gruber & Colabella, P.A. & is the former law clerk to the Honorable Thomas N. Lyons, J.S.C.

DIVORCE POISON:
Protecting the Parent-Child Bond from a Vindictive Ex

Dr. Richard Warshak

Your ex-spouse is bad-mouthing you to your children, perhaps even trying to turn them against you. If you handle the situation ineffectively, you could lose your children's respect, their affections, even in extreme cases, lose contact w/them.
