Whether we read about it in the tabloid headlines or hear whispers on the sidelines of a soccer game, Parental Alienation is a vindictive tactic aimed at punishing a spouse. The subject has surfaced after the news that a judge warned Angelina Jolie to allow Brad Pitt to spend more time with their children or risk losing full custody of them.
Tragically, Parental Alienation’s deepest and lasting damage is to the innocent child or children involved in the parent’s manipulation. A form of programming or brainwashing, it seeks to turn a child away from a parent. Legally, it’s often complicated and difficult to establish because typically you lack so called “tangible evidence” against the favored parent (e.g., no photographs, medical records, etc., as you would in the case of other forms of child abuse such as physical or sexual abuse).
