Parental Alienation – how to tackle it

Parental alienation is complicated. If you are watching your child being alienated, or your child is already alienated from you, it is heart breaking.

It is likely you are feeling helpless.

You may be involved in court proceedings or perhaps you’ve been trying to deal with the problems around seeing your child directly with the other parent.

Who do you turn to? How do you deal with this?

There are many lawyers and therapists out there, almost too many. How do you choose who is right for you?

The key is to use the right lawyers and therapists to help you and your child.

Whilst parental alienation is now being recognised and understood in our legal system, it is early days.

Many Judges and professionals do not fully understand it. In the legal system, even identifying a child’s behaviour as parental alienation can be an uphill struggle.

Once parental alienation is recognised, you then have to convince the Judge on the right course of action to help your child.

You also probably have to convince a Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) officer and the other parent too.

Your child will probably require therapy to help them process and understand the alienation. Using the wrong therapist for your child can worsen the alienation.
