Self Help in Divorce Child Custody Case Goes Wrong
Whether they are located in Wellington, Boynton Beach, or other areas of Palm Beach County, divorce attorneys know that one spouse can alienate their children against the other spouse, so that the alienated children can say or do the most horrific things against the targeted parent. However, a recent parental alienation episode in a Kansas divorce will have the most jaded lawyer and lay person sitting up and taking notice. Recently, Arthur Davis III was convicted of attempted first degree murder regarding an attack on his wife. Authorities in Douglas County, Kansas state that the attack was prompted by a child custody dispute. Kansas prosecutors stated that Davis encouraged his 12-year-old daughter and 15 year old son to kill his ex-wife.
After the children began beating her, Davis joined in the attack. The woman was able to escape and ran down the road to seek help. The children were not able to escape their behavior without serious ramifications to them.
The daughter was granted immunity and testified against her father. The Davis' son will be tried as a juvenile on felony charges. The children will bear the scars and fall out of this case of parental alienation for the rest of their lives. This example of parental alienation and its results, albeit extreme, should educate all divorce attorneys in West Palm Beach and elsewhere of the potential seriousness of a consistent campaign of alienation and the damage that it can cause to all members of the family.

I am currently being alienated from my children. I live in Southern California and my children live in Palm Beach County, Fl. with my ex-husband. I have tried to keep in contact with them over the last 2 years by letters, birthday cards, and phone calls that are left unanswered. They did contact me one day via Face book and I got to briefly speak to my children, only to be scolded by my oldest for leaving. Then I was harassed by what I assume to be my ex-husbands’ new stepchild. I am at a loss… wgere do I go to get help on this all I want is a relationship with my children. Please HELP!
