It is well known that parents can harm the long-term interests of their child if they act inappropriately during divorce or child custody proceedings. Parental alienation occurs when one parent attempts to disparage the other before the children on such a consistent basis that the child begins to absorb the disparaging parent’s viewpoints. Massachusetts courts are aware of issues of parental alienation and agree to change a child custody or parenting plan or even suspend visitations to protect the relationship between the child and the non-disparaging parent. If you believe you and your child are a victim of parental alienation, it is important to work with a knowledgeable divorce and family law attorney to help stop or reverse the parental alienation process and avoid long term harm.
