Proving parental alienation in court

About this course

Your ex is intentionally trying to drive a wedge between you and your children. Perhaps he deliberately schedules activities during your parenting time. Or perhaps she is teaching the kids to fear, hate or disrespect you. Behavior like this is called parental alienation, and it’s extremely damaging to you and the kids. You may conclude that you have no choice but to take your ex to court.

If you do, you’ll need to prove your case. This course teaches you how to do it. You’ll learn how to create a chronology or timeline to document your ex’s pattern of behavior. Evidence is crucial — you’ll learn how to present your evidence to the court in an organized fashion. You’ll learn what you should ask for in mediation or your court hearing, and what you should not ask for. If your ex is not following existing court orders, you’ll learn how to claim contempt of court, and what you need to support your claim. Finally, you’ll learn about programs the court can use to enforce its orders.

The goal is to preserve your relationship with your children — or restore it, if your ex has been able to alienate them. This course will help you learn what to do.
