REPLAY: Parental Alienation Q&A - August 1, 2026

This meeting focused on discussing parental alienation laws and strategies for documenting and proving parental alienation cases in family court. Jude and Charlie led a discussion about recent legislative developments, including New Hampshire's bill requiring 60-day hearings for alienation allegations and Canada's proposed ban on parental alienation as a pseudoscience. Charlie explained the importance of documenting pre-alienation behaviors and using objective frameworks like Amy Baker's model to demonstrate parental alienation rather than using inflammatory language that courts reject. The group discussed the challenges of proving alienation within tight timeframes, the need for airtight co-parenting plans, and strategies for working with attorneys who may not fully understand these complex cases. Will shared his experience as an alienated father of three daughters who recently gained unsupervised visitation rights after a year of no contact, while Michael described his current situation with temporary custody orders and concerns about his wife's punitive behavior following his divorce request. Charlie emphasized the importance of emotional resilience for parents going through alienation and provided resources for continued support, including his structured coaching approach and various social media platforms where he shares daily content and guidance.
