Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) has been defined as a pathological medical syndrome manifested by a child's unjustifiable "campaign of denigration against a parent" that results from the "programming (brainwashing) parent's indoctrinations and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the target parent." It is a highly controversial and contested theory. The syndrome is not listed in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) as a psychiatric disorder and is not recognized as a valid medical syndrome by the American Medical Association, or the American Psychological Association.

What are the parental alienation laws in Missouri?

In Missouri, parental alienation is not explicitly defined in state law, but it can be a factor in custody disputes. Courts prioritize the best interests of the child, and if one parent is found to be alienating the child from the other parent, it can negatively impact their custody arrangements. Judges may consider evidence of parental alienation when making decisions regarding visitation and custody to ensure a child's relationship with both parents is maintained. Additionally, Missouri law allows for modifications to custody orders if alienation is proven to affect the child's welfare.
