Parental alienation is often discussed in the context of establishing child custody. This phenomenon involves one parent engaging in behaviors that influence their child in order to encourage the child to reject the other parent.
Parental alienation can manifest itself in various ways, such as denigrating the other parent in front of the child, frivolous complaints against the other parent, unfounded reproaches, impertinent lies to the child about the other parent’s behavior, illegal or abusive deprivation of contact, emotional blackmail against the child to force them to choose, etc. As long as the behavior leads to a deterioration in the relationship between the child and the targeted parent, the child is subject to parental alienation.

We can also submit urgent applications (protection applications) to quickly establish temporary arrangements for your children’s custody or parenting time, access and visitation rights, and resolve any urgent issues that concern you.
