Scholarly Lectures/Writings:
  • What happens when the AFC believes that the child’s wishes are contrary to the child’s best interests and finds himself/herself at a crossroads with the child? The AFC must then decide whether it is permissible to use substituted judgment. Topics include: Substituting Judgment in Cases With Parental AlienationHow To Substitute Judgment ProperlyDangers in Improperly Substituting Judgment This article discusses the substitution of judgment—proper and improper. It tells a cautionary tale about the pitfalls for the AFC who substitutes judgment without strictly adhering to the rules set forth by 22 NYCRR §7.2—in form as well as substance. It revisits the controversial nature of claims of parental alienation and the rejection of the parental alienation syndrome, while, nevertheless, recognizing that children found to have been influenced by their mothers are not infrequently deemed incapable of exercising knowing judgment, thereby justifying the substitution of judgment. When all is said and done, representing children can be incredibly rewarding and should not be eschewed. However, attorneys who represent child clients need to be wary and should not rush in where angels fear to tread., author, Substituting Judgment: Beware, Attorney for the Child, NEW YORK LAW JOURNAL, Law, Divorce, Custody, Attorney For The Child, Matrimonial, Complex Divorce, 2021
