If the Judge doesn’t like it, don’t use it.
PAS or Parental Alienation Syndrome, PA of Parental Alienation, Alientation, Estrangement, Child Abuse…
It is crucially important to use the correct term under the correct circumstances.
If you are facing a court hearing in front of a judge that doesn’t agree with the term PAS for whatever reason… don’t use it. Is sounds simple enough.
Imagine… Why would you add onions to your daughter’s tuna fish knowing she hates onions. You can go through the whole routine of getting her to taste it, showing her how good it is but inevitably, she won’t eat it. Now you’ll have to go through the work of making something else for lunch and end up with a bowl of unusable smelly albeit tasty onion tuna fish.
In the courtroom, that’s money, time and energy waisted.
The above is actually a great intro into another topic… The courts are not unbiased.
