When one parent tries to destroy his or her children’s relationship with the other parent, it is known as parental alienation. Alienation can take many forms. One parent may use grandparents and other relatives to assail the other parent in the children’s eyes. Alienation may also include allegations of neglect, abuse or mental disorders.
Our family law attorneys are familiar with these tactics and their devastating psychological impact on children. We will fight, often in court, using every means possible, including expert testimony from psychologists, to ensure that one parent’s attempts at alienation do not destroy parental relationships or impact custody and visitation disputes.
