Parental alienation remains one of the most complex challenges in family law, particularly in custody and visitation disputes. In a recent episode of the IR Digital Podcast, our Managing Partner, Tenny Amin, joined host Jennifer Riggins to discuss how this behavior—ranging from negative comments to false allegations—can impact families and why proving it in court is so difficult.During the conversation, Tenny outlined how California courts address these cases.
Unlike some jurisdictions, California does not recognize “Parental Alienation Syndrome” as a diagnosable condition. Instead, the courts prioritize the child’s best interests, emphasizing their perspectives and, where appropriate, appointing minors’ counsel to ensure their voices are heard. This progressive approach underscores the state’s commitment to protecting children in highly sensitive situations.
