Separated Parents & Parental Alienation. What Is It? Consequences & All You NEED To Know!

Around 45% of all children in the UK will experience a break-up of their parents, before their 16th birthday; a staggering statistic. Couples who have had children separate for various reasons, including financial pressures, unreasonable behaviour, or simply just growing apart. Unfortunately, what is very common after parents separate, is that one parent tries to erase the other parent from their child’s life; usually talking negatively about the other parent to their child/or children, trying to alienate the other parent from their child’s life. The term ‘Parental Alienation’ is given to a wide range of behaviours and actions carried out by the main and resident parent, which can be very subtle and manipulative towards the children. In this episode senior and specialist family Barrister Susannah Johnson KC and Hatti Suvari bring you insightful, jargon free legal information, and their top tips if you are the parent being alienated, how to work on changing the situation and how to get help, as always in plain and simple English.
