Description

Described as a child’s rejection of one parent because they have been manipulated by the other, parental alienation can see parents separated from their children for many years. That’s the case for the two alienated mothers who shared their heartbreaking stories with The Daily T.


Parental alienation currently has no legal definition and is a contested subject - often cropping up alongside accusations of domestic abuse - but can have devastating consequences. With allegations of parental alienation on the rise in the courts, we also hear from a leading family court lawyer about how judges should respond.
