The case vignette of Mr. and Mrs. C. in Part (I) demonstrated how a determined, unscrupulous father succeeded in
wresting custody from a fit, custodial mother, who was the target parent.
Pancy Lin, a partner at Lynberg & Watkins, stepped into harm's way when she arrived to defend Orange County social workers who had lied in a custody case to
wrest custody from the plaintiff's mother.
Yet another concern is that false allegations of PAS are made by abusive fathers in order to
wrest custody away from the mothers (Dallam, 2008).
