The Basics

Understanding Parental Alienation & Family Mediation

Dealing with Parental Alienation

The alienating parents may think alienation will get the children to take their side, but in reality, the behaviour can harm the children emotionally.

In some cases, alienating parents can be so extreme as to coerce and manipulate the children into disliking the other parent.

Children may behave in a hostile way when the alienating parent is around but when they are alone with the alienated parent, they change into happy children.

Family Peace

Alienating parents may become verbally abusive to children which will cause more damage to the mental health of the children.
One parent may instil fear into the alienated child to distance them self from the other parent. Parental alienation occurs often after a break down in relationship where one parent is a narcissist. .

When the children do not side with the alienating parent, they may be subjected to physical or verbal abuse by the parent, which is very dangerous and the situation will require intervention.

In many cases, the court may now suggest mediation to help evaluate the alienation problem and report to court for the appropriate action to be taken.
Mediation may greatly help stop if you are a victim of parental alienation.

Child Support with Mediation

The goal of mediation is to restore the relationship between the alienated parent and child and to see if there is a risk of child abuse. Parental alienation remains controversial but is recognised by the family courts.

Mediation may also include helping the parties identify areas of conflict or unresolved issues that need resolution in order to help build a stronger relationship. The rejected parent is able to work with the mediator to find the best solutions for children’s lives

Additionally, the mediator may recommend resources or organisations that can provide support for both parties during this difficult time.
