Long Island Parental Alienation

Fathers' Rights Lawyer in Long Island

Parental alienation is a very real problem that a Long Island father may face. In this situation, one parent consciously or unconsciously degrades the relationship between a child or children and the other parent. Alienating the parent from the child is the purpose of this behavior and, unchecked, can destroy the once loving relationship between a father and a child.

If your child is distancing him or herself from you and you suspect that the mother may have a hand in this, it is important to talk to a Long Island fathers' rights lawyer at our law offices. We understand how to approach cases involving parental alienation and can look to protect your rights as a father as we take legal recourse in order to remedy this situation. In the face of parental alienation, it is important to remain hopeful and keep working to maintain your relationship with your child, despite efforts by the mother to prevent you from doing so. We highly recommend seeking legal counsel, particularly when efforts to alienate become particularly serious and lead to allegations of abuse, a child's refusal to visit you, and more.
