What is parental alienation?
Parental alienation occurs when one parent purposefully denigrates the other parent in the child’s presence or encourages the child to disengage from the other parent. It is common and can include behaviors such as:
- Badmouthing the other parent
- Denying or interfering with time-sharing
- Blaming the other parent
- Using the children to spy on the other parent
- Questioning the children about the other parent’s personal life and finances
- Eavesdropping on telephone or FaceTime conversations between the children and the other parent
- False allegations of sexual, physical or emotional abuse of the children
Parental alienation occurs when children are subjected to these brainwashing tactics and begin to withdraw from the other parent. These behaviors can negatively affect a parent’s time-sharing and often shatter the child’s relationships with other family members, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and half- or stepsiblings.
If you suspect that parental alienation is occurring in your family, you should act quickly to stop it. Select an attorney knowledgeable in recognizing parental alienation in Florida.
