The Custody Lawyer The Custody Lawyer

With the recent pandemic, a lot of people are now asking the same questions about what to do if they’re unemployed for a long period of time. Like many others, you may be wondering how you modify your child support or alimony payments.

When you’re facing a divorce or custody battle, the last thing you probably want is to be stuck in the house with your soon-to-be-ex – or simply unable to proceed with your divorce as planned. And with lawyers in quarantine too, it might be even more difficult to get that legal ball rolling as quickly as you’d hoped.

A lot of people who are affected by this virus or Stay in Place orders are concerned about going out and hiring a lawyer at this time. Many of them are waiting until things are more financially stable. Others are waiting until our country is more stable so we know and feel a bit more confident about what will happen. But what can you do in the meantime to keep moving forward through your family legal challenges?

Continuing in the series on parental alienation, today we're talking about, how do you prove parental alienation. The first thing that you'll see in parental alienation is there's an effort by the favored parent to limit contact between the unfavored parent, or the parent who's being alienated. That can be phone calls that are never returned, text messages that aren't answered, or the response is obviously not something that a child would respond with. Any effort to limit contact is one of the very first signs. The child's never available. There can be a court order that says that contact has to be at a certain time, and that's not happening, so that's one of the first things that you're going to see. 

Another thing that you see in alienation cases is the parent who is favored will refuse to force the children to go and visit the non-favored parent.  What does that look like? In that situation, what we'll see is a parent who says something like, "I can't make my child get in the car, or I can't make my child visit, or the child doesn't want to see you, and I, I can't physically pick the child up and put them in the car." Anything where you can see a situation where if the child for example, were sick, and needed to go to the doctor, would that parent be able to make the child go to see the doctor? If the child said, "I don't want to go to school today," doesn't that parent have the ability to make the child go to school that day? Looking for those kind of scenarios where the parent is just not encouraging, and supporting a positive relationship between the parent and the child. Another thing that we sometimes see is enmeshment between the favored parent and the child, so the relationship is beyond close.
