The Fallacy of Making the Other Parent Look Bad
Divorce is between the two parents, but sometimes a parent will use divorce issues to drive a wedge between the other parent and the child in hopes to destroy the existing relationship between them. Restructuring a family always has questions and confusion, but healthy parents use their time to reassure the children, not alienate them from the other parent.

Most parents are concerned with the best interests of the child — and it is never in the child's best interests to denigrate the other parent. If that is happening in your family, our lawyers have a number of resources that can help you deal with parental alienation.
- Has your ex made accusations of child brainwashing against you? Do you feel you are a victim of parental alienation syndrome? There are community education programs and seminars that can help you and your ex understand the best ways to interact with your children.
- Your children need to know about the divorce and the fact that your family is changing. A child should not be used, however, as a confidant to air issues about the divorce. We have some suggestions about what to tell the children, and we can refer you to appropriate resources.
- Custody evaluations are an important part of the child custody decision process. Our attorneys can guide you through the process and help you prepare for the evaluation interviews.
- We want to help you and your family get through this period of time with as little pain as possible. Because our law firm is focused on family law, we have the experience to guide you to the right resources.
Signs of Parental Alienation
- Does your child act differently around one parent
- Does your child "protect" the other parent
- Does your child start to really rebel against the visiting party and their family
- Are you being refused access to school or medical records and schedules of extracurricular activities?
- Is one parent refusing to be flexible with the visitation schedule in order to respond to the child's needs?
Being alienated from your parental role is a slow, painful, long ride. Always keep your awareness at peak level, and guard against the wedge, which can be so subtly driven you never see it until it's too late.
