What Does Parental Alienation Look Like?

Simply put, parental alienation is the estrangement of a child from a parent. This can be accomplished in any number of ways. A parent may continually insult or talk badly about the other parent in front of the child. The parent may defy a child custody order or otherwise prevent the other parent from seeing or visiting with the child. The parent may make the child fearful that he or she is in danger when around the other parent. All of these are classic examples of what one parent may do to drive a wedge between the other parent and child in a custody dispute.

Putting An End To Parental Alienation

There are a number of different legal tactics that may be employed to help put a stop to parental alienation. It may be possible to get a court order requiring the offending parent to put an end to his or her divisive behavior. It may be possible to seek an order of contempt in an effort to get the other parent to comply. If a child custody order is already in place, it may be necessary to seek a modification to the order to ensure that the child's best interests are being met. Our Redmond divorce lawyers will thoroughly review your situation and help you explore your options.
