Parental Alienation Syndrome
Divorces involving messy custody disputes often cause the children involved to act out in various ways. Sometimes a child will try to play parents against each other or do certain things to one parent in the hopes of pleasing the other parent who may have coerced the child to do so.
Divorce is very hard on children and when the parents are involved in using the children as pawns in the divorce proceedings, the child or children can start acting in bizarre ways. When a child purposefully does something repeatedly to alienate a certain parent in a pathological manner, it is called Parental Alienation Syndrome or PAS.
Parental alienation syndrome is actually fairly common and the appearance of signs of the syndrome should not be taken lightly.

Signs of Parental Alienation Syndrome
This syndrome is most often a result of abuse by parents or brain washing. PAS behavior includes:
- A child saying he or she will say certain things in court if a parent does not do what he or she wants
- A child acting out in front of one parent and not the other
- A child clearly displaying a distaste for one parent or spouting insults about a parent that seem to have come from the other parent
PAS is a serious issue that should not be taken lightly during divorce.
