Question: 

I got divorced in New York in 1994. The stipulation of the settlement emancipates me when my son is 18. In return, I must pay all college costs.

My son has a severe case of parental alienation syndrome (PAS). In other words, he has relentless and irrational hatred towards me. He's 20 years old and entered college 2 years ago. I offered to pay as per the court order in the divorce but he would not even speak to me.

His mother had him apply for college aid (state and federal) while at the same time extorting me for $800/month for child support since I did not pay for college (not my choice). I have no idea where this money goes. He nor his mother will provide any accounting for his college costs. No receipts, nothing.

What am I legally bound to pay in this case?

Question: My brother has filed for divorce without using an attorney. His soon to be ex-wife will not allow him to have their daughter every other weekend like was customary. What should he do to ensure that he be allowed to see his daughter regularly until divorce is final, and how should he document his soon-to-be-ex's resistance to allowing him time with his daughter? Also, any advice as to how to make hand-off times go smoothly and protect himself against her rage and possible threats to make false allegations?

What do you do if you receive custody of your alienated child? Where do you go? How do you begin rebuilding a severely compromised relationship?

"A Fathers Rights" a recent effort by Nashville filmmaker William Fain proves the validity of advice often given to writers: Write what you know. As the title boldly states, this film is the embodiment of a movement that in many cases is fought alone and against all odds.

The film is based upon producer, William Fain's, own personal struggle to have a meaningful relationship with his child, and his fight against a system that by default, and regardless of evidence to the contrary, favors the mother as the most fit parent.

In the story, Robbie Davis plays Seth Ryder, a soft-hearted man who falls for the wrong woman. Christian Pitre plays Nicole, a beautiful woman who, claiming that her marriage is abusive, slips into Seth's world. I challenge any man to say he wouldn't have been hooked by her drama and good looks. Rather than condemning Seth for going out of his way to help her out of her bad situation, and to replace her heartache with tenderness, we admire his unassuming goodness, but as his best friend sees, we also sense that this will be his undoing.
