DIVORCE RELATED MALICIOUS PARENT SYNDROME

1. A parent who unjustifiably punishes the divorcing or divorced other parent by:

1. Attempting to alienate their mutual child(ren) from the other parent

2. Involving others in malicious actions against the other parent

3. Engaging in excessive litigation

2. The parent specifically attempts to deny the child(ren):

1. Regular uninterrupted visitation with the other parent

2. Uninhibited telephone access to the other parent

3. Paternal participation in the child(ren)'s school life and extra-curricular activities

3. The pattern is pervasive and includes malicious acts towards the other parent including:

1. Lying to the children

2. Lying to others

3. Violations of law

4. The disorder is not specifically due to another mental disorder although a separate mental disorder may co-exist.

I revamped this because it is not exactly accurate...You do how ever see it happen more often to fathers but it happens to mothers as well...This abuse needs to stop...Actions need to be taken against these parents that are doing this to their children! The only way this is going to happen is if the courts start punishing the alienating parent. Other wise they can share the blame of innocent children being abused due to their neglect.
"You know the old saying you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". Well that goes the same as if you were to say "You can give a parent a court order but you can make him follow it". The only different is breaching the court order is against the law. These courts need to follow through & punish the parent that is breaching the court order. Throw them in jail & see how they like it & if that doesn't change their tune then throw them in jail again. It works for dogs they call it corrective training.
