Parental Alienation

Parental alienation is when one parent vilifies the other, consciously or unconsciously, to extent that the same negative behaviour is adopted by the child toward their parent. It can lead to the child not wanting to be with one of the parents.

Courts have begun recognizing the destructive impact parental alienation can have on children, as well as the parents who are targeted.

If a child displays behaviour consistent with parental alienation, do not delay in obtaining legal advice.

What your lawyer can do for you:

Send a demand letter to the ex partner asking them to stop the alienating behavior.
Ensure that your parenting time with the child is not interrupted.
Make an application to the court presenting the situation to a judge.
Asking a judge to order a stop to the negative behavior in front of your child.
Asking a judge to order that your parenting time continue.

Undermining the kids’ relationship with the other parent, even unintentionally, damages children’s emotional and psychological well-being and is contrary to the Family Law Act. While spouses may not stay together forever, parents are forever.

It was a great privilege to have Ms. Petersen as my legal counsel. I am extremely pleased with the performance, dedication, and support I received from her. She was professional, easy to talk to, and genuinely cared about my case. She went above and beyond what was required. I would proudly recommend Ms. Petersen to anyone.

I was very happy with Ace Legal. There were no hidden fees, Andrea was forthright, pleasant to work with, and most importantly she got the job done! I have no reservation in recommending Andrea at Ace Legal.

Andrea helped me with a challenging family law matter. She acted quickly, with compassion and kindness she guided me through a difficult court proceeding. Most importantly, the court proceeding had a successful outcome resulting in the quality of my life being vastly improved.

In the past I have found talking to a lawyer an intimidating experience. Talking to Andrea was easy and she listened! She made sure my husband and I understood the legal process we were entering into. She encouraged us to ask questions if we didn’t understand something she said. Working with Andrea was an excellent experience and I highly recommend her.

My experience in working with Andrea was that she was attentive, returned my emails and phone calls in a timely manner and acted quickly when a deadline was at issue. Without reservation I can recommend Andrea.
