A separated mother and father are both frequently criticizing each other in front of their 10-year-old child. A separated father tells his children the mother isn’t being fair to him. A separated mother complains to the children that the father doesn’t have time for them. Do these complaints rise to the level of parental alienation?
In another example, a father tells the child that the mother stole the child’s cellphone. The father also refuses to answer the mother’s emails requesting updates about the child. The mother shares her concerns with the custody evaluator who may find “alienation” or might just call the incidents “subtle interference” in the child’s relationship with the mother.
