How do you prove parental alienation in a child custody case?
Proving that the other parent is alienating your child is a big deal in a child custody case, but it isn't always easy to do. The parental alienation definition is "a pattern of behaviors that are intended to interfere with and reduce the time that a noncustodial parent spends with his or her children." Some examples of parental alienation include things like:
- Telling your kid that the other parent doesn't love them
- Using bad language when talking about the other parent
- Making negative comments about the other parent in front of your child
- Refusing to let your child be alone with the other parent
- Refusing to involve your child in important decisions, like where they're going to go to school or how they should be disciplined
There are a lot of ways someone can make an effort to alienate their kids from their other parents. Sometimes these tactics are obvious and intentional, but sometimes they aren't—it's hard for parents not to get frustrated with each other sometimes, so there might be some unintentional behavior going on. Some people think that it's impossible for a parent who isn't trying to hurt their kid deliberately to still be hurting their kid unintentionally, but this isn't true.
