In the Matter of JF v. LF, [694 NYS2d 592, 1999 N.Y. Slip Op. 99408]
The Family Court became the first New York court to discuss PAS at length in a custody decision. It pointed out that the theory is controversial, and noted that according to one of the expert witnesses who testified, the syndrome is not approved as a term by the American Psychiatric Society, and it is not in DSM-IV as a psychiatric diagnosis.
