Family lawyers acting for parties where allegations of parental alienation are made face an extremely difficult task in advising the clients in what are often fraught and acrimonious parenting proceedings. In this program, Evelyn Young, from Mitchell Family Law in Melbourne, draws on her experience of such cases to discuss the what and why of parental alienation, the legal approach to the issue, what is the best approach of family lawyers, whether acting for an alienated parent or an alleged alienating parent, as well as looking at cases where the courts have made orders to deal with parental alienation.
