Legal Recourse Against Parental Alienation
.
When one parent convinces a child to turn against the other parent it is an extremely sad and unfortunate situation. Sometimes referred to as parental alienation, this method of manipulation is used by parents either consciously or otherwise and causes untold grief to the child and the alienated parent.
If your child is slipping away from you, contact Gene C. Colman Family Law Centre. Based in Toronto, Ontario, our legal team will meet with you in a consultation, identify your options, and work to bring you and your child back together emotionally, as well as legally.
Mr. Colman’s courteous and direct advocacy for me in court helped me not only to gain more access but solved other areas of conflict and, I believe, prevented many future legal conflicts.

Protect Your Child Against Brainwashing And Toxic Behaviour
Cases involving child brainwashing and parental hostility are difficult and emotionally trying. Techniques such as positively reinforcing children for making negative statements about a parent, and encouraging lying and rebelling, must be stopped. Additionally, when a hostile and aggressive parent prevents another parent from seeing the children in violation of a parenting plan or court order, legal action must be taken to enforce the child custody and access agreement or court order.
Many alienated parents come to Gene C. Colman Family Law Centre feeling hopeless with nowhere to turn after they have been denied child access. Our team is committed to understanding the details of your situation, identifying your legal options and helping you re-establish a positive relationship with your children.
