Parental Alienation Concerns In Ohio

Not every divorce ends with spouses amicably parting ways or working together to raise the children in a healthy and cooperative manner. Far too often, one spouse may carry bitterness from the divorce, allowing this resentment to bleed into how he or she talks about the other spouse to the children.

One spouse may try to sway the children to his or her side by undue influence, or saying things, doing things or acting in a way that works to damage the relationship between the other spouse and the children. This could include telling the children that the other parent does not love them or telling lies to make the children dislike the other parent.
