Crossroads Law

Vilifying one parent, undermining their authority, manipulating a child’s perception to foster fear or resentment towards the other parent — these actions can have profound, long-term effects on children and their families.    Parental alienation takes it to another level, creating extreme hostility and manipulation that can severely strain and potentially sever a once healthy and close parent-child relationship.    In this insightful blog, senior Alberta family lawyer Camille Boyer explores the contentious issue of parental alienation and the need to prioritize the wellbeing and safety of children and their families.    🔗 Curious to learn more?
