New York courts take allegations of parental alienation seriously because a parent’s willingness to foster a healthy relationship with the other parent is often central to the best interests analysis. A recent New York decision demonstrates how courts evaluate repeated custody modification petitions, claims of abuse, and allegations of parental alienation when determining whether a change in custody is warranted. If you are involved in a contentious custody dispute, it is critical to work with an experienced New York family law attorney who can help protect both your parental rights and your child’s emotional well-being.

If you are dealing with unpaid support, enforcement actions, or concerns about your ability to comply with an existing order, it is critical to consult an experienced New York family law attorney before the situation intensifies.
