Blank Rome partner Alan R. Feigenbaum will serve as faculty for Navigating Parental Alienation Allegations in New York Family Law, a live Lawline CLE webcast taking place on Thursday, February 26, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. EST.
About the Program
In custody disputes, allegations of parental alienation can significantly influence the outcome and emotional tone of litigation. This program offers a practical and nuanced primer on how family courts in New York approach claims of parental alienation and explores the legal frameworks that guide custody determinations, focusing on the “best interests of the child” standard, while unpacking the complex interplay between alienation, protective gatekeeping, domestic violence, and mental health issues. Presenters will share insight into how courts evaluate parenting time, determine access for young children, and use forensic experts and attorneys for children in high-conflict cases. The program also examines the legal implications of forensic reports, the roles of outside caregivers during access periods, and the potential for alternative dispute resolution. With real-world considerations and a critical look at current judicial practices, this course equips attorneys with practical tools to navigate emotionally charged custody disputes with clarity, strategy, and client-centered advocacy.
