Arkansas Court of Appeals

Cyndall Sharp (Alienator) v. MJ Keeler (Target Parent)

May 9, 2007

Join me as I explore this precedential case whereby Cyndall Sharp (alienator) appeals the Washington County Circuit Court's grant of M.J. Keeler's (Target Parent) petition for change of custody of the parties' minor son, Corbin Michael Jonas Sharp Keeler, who was born August 30, 2004. On appeal, she argues that the trial court erred in finding (1) that she "acted in ways to the detriment of the child and that parental alienation on the part of appellant was a material change of circumstances warranting modification of its original custody decree and thereby granting custody to appellee, M.J. Keeler," and (2) that she was only entitled to supervised visitation when there were no facts to support a finding that supervised visitation was in Corbin's best interest.

Will the Arkansas Court of Appeals uphold the trial court's orders?

Indiana Court of Appeals

Marianne Lawrence Hanson (Alienator) vs. Edward Joseph Spolnik (Target Parent)

August 29, 1995

Join me as I explore this precedential 1995 custody case at the Indiana Court of Appeals. In this appeal, Marianne Lawrence Hanson (mother) challenges a decision that granted sole legal & physical custody of her 4-year-old daughter to Edward Joseph Spolnik, Jr. (father) largely due to her relentless use of parental alienation tactics.

In this analysis, we examine Dr. Richard Lawlor's expert testimony as a child psychologist, revealing the deep psychological impact of these alienation tactics on the child and the extent to which Marianne attempted to sever the father-daughter bond. Hear direct quotes from Marianne which reveal an angry narcissist intent on destruction.

Key legal issues include whether a "substantial change in circumstances" warranted the custody modification, the fairness of Marianne’s visitation restrictions, her responsibility for Edward’s attorney fees, and her contempt ruling for breaching a restraining order. Discover how child psychology insights shaped this custody ruling and how this court weighed the best interests of the child in this complex alienation case.
