Family Law Practitioner
The late, great Dr. Richard Gardner!
Attorneys halted their billings, therapists paused, and custody evaluators stood still when he invented Parental Alienation.
A boon for billable hours, Parental Alienation is the lifeblood for attorneys and therapists longing for beachfront vacation homes and swanky office upgrades. Parental Alienation is where we advise the court that one parent manipulated a child into unjustly rejecting the other, which leads to a merry-go-round custody battle.
With Parental Alienation, the script is not restricted to mothers receiving custody and fathers providing child support.
Parental alienation declares that mothers manipulate their children, leading to false accusations against fathers. The solution? Separate the children from the mother and re-educate them.
Gardner’s observations and hypotheses were blazing comets across the formerly dim firmament of family law billings.
He was a Mozart composing symphonies of thought few could have imagined when he came out with our anthem – “Parental Alienation Counters Child Abuse Allegations.”
With fatherhood initiative funding and rich pedo papas who pay for carnal delight, Parental Alienation became the most profitable element of family law.
Gardner was the Shakespeare of family law with expert testimonies, books, and articles about the tragic hero – the alienated father. They became our soliloquies – for our most significant writers – the custody evaluators.
Before Dr. Gardner, family law was plain, predictable, passive, and unprofitable.
With Parental Alienation, mothers lose custody because they manipulate their kids to lie that their fathers abused them.
The plan is to call it Parental Alienation – and the remedy is the complete separation of the mother to “re-educate” the children.
With the mother’s maternal instincts ignited, she’ll dive into a relentless battle, fighting tooth and nail for her children, leading to extended court battles, protracted therapy sessions, supervised visitations, reunification camps, and a cascade of expert consultations.
Parental Alienation became our goldmine to convert from the children’s best interest to the court professional’s self-interest. Instead of the father paying child support for his children, he pays to support our children. Parental Alienation transfers the client’s children’s college fund to our children’s college fund.
Some of you are not old enough to remember the bleak days when family law practice was a struggle to make a living and literally half of our billings ended up as barter in cheap motels with divorcing wives. Then dashed in Dr. Richard Gardner – and the world of attorneys, therapists, and custody evaluators came alive like rats finding a stash of abandoned cheese.
Parental Alienation became the North Star guiding the lost ship of family court billings.
And Gardner was the Yoda of Family Law.
He was our Moses parting our Red Ink Sea.
Family law practitioners became the Wall Street brokers of the legal world, where every accusation and counter accusation was another stock purchase in our portfolio.
Thank you, Dr. Gardner!
Remember Cuda’s Razor: Settlement must never be posited before penury. Or said more simply: The more turbulent the divorce, the more lucrative the pay!

Disgusting disgusting and so very true!
Wiegand v Wilkinson. In the 90s. Connecticut has been doing it for years.
Parental alienation is the lingua Franca used by mothers when they realize there’s state sponsored lifetime funding for grabs. Dr. Gardner gave it a solid psychological framework to help thr lay person understand the markers of the phenomenon of child abuse by a parent, usually the mom who takes advantage of access and trust by the child to destroy the family, the father and the normative needs of any child to have a loving relationship with both parents.
The behavior is part of a cluster B mental psychosis usually demonstrated in mothers. Toxic femininity with children paying a life life price is inflicted by Parental Alienation. Am glad the issue is brought into the media.
Here we go again labeling women. 75 percent of narcissist are men. They use characteristics of abuse and say it’s parental alienation. . Most of these mother’s are in the 40s or 50s. The onset for these diagnosis usually happen before 25. They lead normal lives until they filed for divorce. Or the narrasist was unmasked. All these women are not crazy. It’s an excuse to all the fraud in family court.
This article is total bullshit. Move on, into progress and the future. You’re talking decades old reactionary drivel. Refer yourself to Dr. Craig Childress and also get yourself a therapist.
Hey Robert,
You seem to like Craig Childress’ approach. What’s best about his practice and philosophy — and how do you think he might approach this case?
Maybe Richard Blumenthal can help? The former attorney general in CT. He knows all about family court and judges.
Richard Blumenthal, former CT attorney general has known all about family court and judges for the past 40 years.
Yes he does. On the federal judiciary committee. United States family courts.
Richard Blumenthal, former CT attorney general who has known all about family court and judges for the past 40 years and on the federal judiciary committee is part of the problem and has been part of the problem for a very long time.
Please connect the dots if you haven’t already.
… Joining these “artists” for a press conference on the Hill today were Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), and Congressman Steve Cohen D-TN). Previously, Republican Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) had expressed strong support for Pussy Riot, reported the National Journal.
Said Senator Blumenthal today:
They are also giving a face and voice to a vile and vicious violation of human rights by the Russian government and the persecution — not prosecution — but persecution of dissent and free statement in Russia.
One must wonder whether the Senators had any clue what these women did that brought the Russian authorities to press charges against them, or whether anyone who attacks the current Russian government is automatically a hero in Washington.
Let us recall that these women ascended the altar of the privately-owned Cathedral of Christ the Saviour during church services clad in bright clothing which masked their identities. The “punk prayer” they screamed contained the following lines:
Holy sh*t, sh*t, Lord’s sh*t!
Holy sh*t, sh*t, Lord’s sh*t!
St. Maria, Virgin, become a feminist…
Patriarch Gundyaev believes in Putin
B*tch, you better believed in God! …

Richard Blumenthal D-CT was the Attorney general who protected 4 currupt judges in the 90s with the Wilkinson case. A case that spanned from Connecticut into Massachusetts and Vermont. Chris Murphy has been instrumental in getting people placed in the comptroller office watching the money and the Ccadv controlled financially by the fatherhood initiative. There is absolutely political involvement in family court system. Driven by greed and perversion.
Richard Blumenthal probably doesn’t know anything about the criminal networks.

It’s time to call for the resignation of many family court judges. In court house through out Connecticut. There are several people on the judiciary committee should step down and out of office. Frank is finally calling out the curruption in the family courts. Divorce and DCF. People dying and brutalized in family law matters. We the people have had enough. Crimes against humanity.
I wonder how Joanie landed in Connecticut from New Jersey? I wonder if she knows about the fatherhood funding? The state of Connecticut is literally appears to be run of the federally funded welfare reform fatherhood initiative. There is a dramatic drop in funding to domestic violence and sexual assault organizations. Dramatic drop in funding grants to the state prosecutor office. How does Connecticut report on crimes? Solely through conviction? GOP you are absolutely on to something. Is Connecticut truely safe? Is family court system working in the best interest? Or is it working in the best financial interest of the state through Richard Gardner’s parental alienation legalization of pediphia and other forms of abuse. Will we ever see financial insensitive to prosecute ligitimat crimes against humanity in Connecticut? Has Connecticut given up on taking a bite out of crime? Will the next generation be taught reporting will be punished? Will the good people of Connecticut be silenced and discredited? Will the good people of Connecticut seeking marital disillusion for safety be bankrupt by the family law industry? Frank’s reporting may help save not just Connecticut.
The gig is up. The use of hypothetical theories. There are many Mom not on welfare having the alienation scam run on them. Every woman in the state is labeled hysterical and suffering from malicious mommy syndrome. The chosen court system psychologist have the unspecified mental health diagnosis as soon as the divorce is filled. Narrasist are men. There are definitely some sick women involved in family court cases. The court system would have you believe it is all of them. Unfortunately the courts can’t or wont diffeferanciate between UFO and a mylar balloon. 56 percent of Connecticut work force are women. It’s the Dads in Connecticut collecting states benefits.
Did Judge Moukawsher resign?
Perhaps the Connecticut/Massachusetts Judicial Media Committee “Fire Brigade” voted on a news blackout on all Connecticut family court scandals from now on?
According to Kevin Rennie, “ … In a letter to Governor Ned Lamont, Moukawsher announced his resignation is effective at the end of the business day on October 16, 2023. …”

Would it surprise anyone that the same reasoning (‘striking gold’) came to light in relation to the trans ‘industry’ (because it has become an industry, worth billions)? Nothing wrong with feeling you were born in the wrong body and seeking ways to remedy it, but the way the whole issue is being ‘pushed’ at children at all levels makes you (me, at least) think there’s a whole network behind this, from pharmas to surgeons to clinics to psychologists to lawyers to the actual person who transitioned (think money in sports, ‘influencer’, endorsements) as well as companies who hijack this issue for visibility and profit (Budweiser, etc), sports industry, pressure groups, etc … and other connections that may not even have become apparent yet.
And let’s not forget the WHO official guidance pushing completely age-inappropriate sex education in schools (yes, it’s not just your individual schools going ‘woke’, it’s codified by the WHO).
Augean Stables indeed.
It’s all about who’s going to make money, but you can say it’s mothers only targeted. It actually happens the other way around more often. They’re selfish antics profit driven motives only ruin it for the real cases of PA attorney coached , Court assisted child abuse.
When false allegations of abuse, and false allegations of PA are held accountable and punished and see how quickly things will change problem is, there’s no profit for the attorneys and associates
Since making false claims is incentivized, it gives the slimy attorneys to enhance the conflict equaling profit. They will swing the case any which way possible to extract profit with no regards to the health and well-being of the children. They will utilize the pathological parent to stir the pot
Absolutely sickening. When did America become so blatantly depraved? The Augean Stables was nothing compared to this … and it would seem this is the tip of the iceberg.
All these lawmakers, therapists, psychologists etc who so gleefully talk about “Parental Alienation became our goldmine to convert from the children’s best interest to the court professional’s self-interest. Instead of the father paying child support for his children, he pays to support our children. Parental Alienation transfers the client’s children’s college fund to our children’s college fund” should remember that “the sins of the fathers are visited on the children” … not by any wrathful god, but by setting the ‘moral’ example that nothing and no-one matters except money and depraved pleasure. What a legacy to leave your children. They probably go around spouting about ‘ethics’ and ‘brotherly love’ as well.
Pedophiles have migrated from Priesthood to Law over the past 40 years. This is an almost unstoppable force. We must fight this head-on on every front. Pedophile can NEVER be normalized in America.
Get the democrats out of office. Normalizing pediphia. Legalizing it.
This says it all. It’s unimaginable but exactly what’s happened.
There is no medical profession that supports this court created profit-driven “diagnosis” – it is a condition which lasts:
1. Until the family savings runs out
2. Until the children are all aged out at 18.
3. Until the targeted parent (usually the mother) or a child, is dead.
I wonder if some children of these mothers can be interviewed as adults? Channeling Linda Weigand

Many of the aged out children are traumatized and in therapy to move on from the abuse they have endured. Including the family court system abuse. Altering of memories to fit a narrative that brings in financial reward to the court professionals and states. Material gatekeeper parental alienation claims. Parental alienation is a UFO 👽. Punishing children for the behavior of the parents. UFO sightings all day every day in family court system A lucrative endeavor brought to the court for funding and profit to the AFCC gang of bullies running family court.
cha-ching!
