Program Summary

A review of family court cases across America demonstrate that there is a sharp increase in cases alleging parental alienation and/or estrangement. Judges are increasingly facing cases where one side presents expert testimony on parental alienation, while the other side presents rebuttal expert testimony on estrangement. How should family court judges evaluate the often-conflicting expert testimonies? How should judges decide a case alleging parental alienation? When is the right time to intervene? Should the judge order therapy or reunification--is there a difference? Is it science, an art, or both? This course will present a step-by-step decisional template for the friend-of-the-court evaluators, referees, magistrates, and judges to assist them in making the right call in a case alleging parental alienation and/or estrangement.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Data shows that there is a sharp increase in case filings in American family courts allegingparental alienation and/or estrangement
  • These cases generally end up in a battle of experts
  • How should family court judges evaluate the often-conflicting expert testimonies?
  • What's good science and what's junk science?
  • This course will present a step-by-step decisional template for the friend-of-the-courtevaluators, referees, magistrates, and judges to assist them in making the right call
