PARENTAL ALIENATION
Our law firm has experience in handling highly contested custody matters which include parental alienation cases. Parental alienation comes in many forms. Generally, parental alienation means that one parent tries to program the child in an effort to undermine or interfere with the child’s relationship with the other parent. Examples include:
Speaking negatively about the other parent
Blaming the other parent for the divorce or why the relationship did not work
Denying the other parent access to the child
The child begins challenging your decisions and undermining your parental authority
The child is taking sides and begins to internalize any negative talk from your ex
The child has too much information about sensitive matters that should be kept between the parents
TARGETED PARENTAL ALIENATION
It should be noted that children can have a mind of their own and their actions/opinions are sometimes a product of their own thoughts. The difference is that parental alienation matters usually have a targeted and intentional form of child manipulation. Often times the parent will use the child as their own pawn and say things in front of them that damages that child’s psyche.
If you believe that you have been a victim of parental alienation, our firm can work with you to review the facts and see if court intervention is possible so that the custody and visitation order is enforced. The court will intervene if they deem it is in the best interests of the minor child to do so. Our firm has extensive experience with high conflict matters and will zealously advocate on your behalf. Do not let time pass before you act. Contact us at (443) 741-2567 and we would be happy to discuss your case with you.
