Judicial Accountability Court Ordered Parental Alienation

Yes — Judges should be held accountable when their decisions enable or reinforce parental alienation, because such rulings can cause lasting trauma to children and unjustly sever parent-child bonds. Courts are entrusted with protecting children’s best interests, and when judicial orders contribute to alienation, accountability becomes a matter of justice and child welfare.

Why Accountability Matters

• Judicial responsibility: Judges are tasked with safeguarding children’s rights and ensuring fair custody arrangements. When they overlook or minimize parental alienation, they risk perpetuating harm.

• Impact on children: Alienation can lead to long-term psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, and difficulty forming relationships. Judicial orders that ignore these risks effectively sanction emotional abuse.

• Systemic trust: Families rely on courts to deliver justice. If judges fail to recognize alienation or issue orders that reinforce it, public trust in the family court system erodes.

How Judges Currently Approach Alienation

• Recognition of alienation: Many judges acknowledge parental alienation as a serious issue in custody disputes, but they differ in how they interpret and respond to it.

• Challenges in proof: Courts often struggle to distinguish genuine alienation from legitimate concerns about a parent’s behavior. This ambiguity can lead to cautious rulings that unintentionally empower the alienating parent.

• Limited remedies: Judges may order supervised visitation or counseling, but these “band-aid” solutions often fail to stop the alienation cycle. Stronger remedies — such as custody changes or sanctions — are less frequently applied.

What Accountability Could Look Like

• Judicial training: Judges should receive specialized education on parental alienation, its signs, and its psychological impact.

• Oversight mechanisms: Appeals courts and judicial review boards could evaluate whether rulings align with best practices in child welfare.

• Consequences for harmful rulings: When judges issue orders that clearly perpetuate alienation, accountability could include mandatory retraining, disciplinary review, or reversal of decisions.

Risks and Trade-offs

• Risk of overreach: Holding judges accountable must balance judicial independence with child protection. Excessive oversight could discourage judges from making tough custody decisions.

• Complexity of cases: Not all refusals by children to see a parent are caused by alienation. Judges must carefully weigh evidence to avoid mislabeling genuine safety concerns.

In short, judges should be accountable when their rulings enable parental alienation, but accountability must be paired with better training, clearer standards, and stronger remedies. This ensures that courts protect children’s right to both parents while maintaining judicial integrity.

Proven Parental Alienation in Family Court Case Wade vs. Wade (2010)

Post by Children's Rights.

A Father First ~ How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball

~Wade told the Associated Press. "Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now. To me, it's bigger than that. For me, it shows a lot of people that you need to fight to be in your kids' lives sometimes. You fight until you can't fight any more. That's all I was trying to be, a father in his kids' lives."

Ending a long and often-vengeful fight, a Chicago court has awarded Wade sole "care, custody and control" of his two sons in March 2011 after a long court battle with his ex-wife, who remains in the boys' lives.  ~~  Dwyane Wade Awarded Primary Custody of Sons

Kids Need Both, Inc

1 week ago

A Mother's Day message from Dr. Mark Roseman of The Toby Center.

For an increasing number of moms, Mother’s Day without their children are expected, and characteristic. It’s characteristic of mothers who are court ordered to have visitation that they not see their children on this day. For dads, too, there are many whose children cannot spend time with their them.

Why? Court orders.

Court orders in Family Court, especially require parents to have a shared parenting plan, a plan which delineates when each parent may spend quality time with their children. Not because of social media, and cell phone compulsions. It is because when they separate and divorce, children’s time is allocated. Like any commodity. Litigation is used to advocate for a parent’s time; litigation is used to prevent a parent’s time. Consider: Thirty percent of parents who separate are very unhappy, angry, and vindictive. They seek to punish each other, or at least to claim themselves a victim of anything that will deprive the other parent of significant quality time with their children. Such parents are considered to be in ‘high conflict’ and seek to blame, deny, and often, to run away with the children.

Litigation damages many among these families, for there remains not enough opportunity for children to spend time with their parents, particularly, when their parents need to pay for shared parenting time that must besupervised. Supervised visitation is used by the courts when the judge believes there needs to be a neutral third party to observe, and guard against emotional and physical abuse.

But supervised visitation works when the custodial parent does not interfere with the child’s scheduled visitation. As Toby Center’s Program Director, I have seen this happen over thirty percent of the time. We can’t enforce visitation for those who may even have money to pay for this service.

Who can afford these unfunded services? Well, 40 percent of those asking for these services in Central Florida cannot. In South Florida, 30 percent cannot. Supervised visitation services are little funded in Florida. Florida’s funds come from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through their office of Child Support Enforcement. These monies are to be used by states for furthering supervised visitation and family mediation. These are cases found in the Family Courts.

Yet, in Florida, these monies are used solely and entirely by the Department of Children and Families through thirdparty case management companies. Though DCF client families benefit from funded services as visitation and therapy, even more significant are the needs of families whose child custody cases are heard in Family Court. In the latter case, such families did not have their children removed from their homes. Even though the reasons for family court action may be quite the same or similar to some in Dependency Court.

I have served in this field since 1999 when I began working in Washington, DC with the national Children’s Rights Council. Then, it was David L. Levy, Esq. who emerged the loudest advocate for joint custody, and established the largest network of supervised visitation locations. I was appointed by David to be the Assistant Director for Child Access. In charge of visitation curriculum and training, I joined David on numerous visits to the Office of Child Support Enforcement, meeting two Directors of CSE during the Bush Administrations.

Indeed, it was David Levy who challenged the Federal Government during the Clinton Administration to allocate money for families journeying through very costly child custody matters in Family Court. With his successful testimony on Capitol Hill (and he was a wonderful, passionate orator of my time!), David created this annual earmark so that more families would not be denied the visitation services so essential for building and strengthening parent and child relations.

Social research has shown that children best thrive when both parents are involved in their children’s lives. It is therefore incumbent upon grantors and state agencies to find the money to preserve our families post separation. If we do, then we will reduce the rate of alcohol and drug abuse, juvenile crime, teen suicide.

Mother’s Day. Father’s Day.

For the forty percent of public school children living in single parent households, nearly half of our families today, family holidays just ‘ain’t what they used to be’. But with more funds, and support, they come close.

KNOW YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS!!

The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently protected parental rights, including it among those rights deemed fundamental. As a fundamental right, parental liberty is to be protected by the highest standard of review: the compelling interest test. As can be seen from the cases described above, parental rights have reached their highest level of protection in over 75 years. The Court decisively confirmed these rights in the recent case of Troxel v. Granville, which should serve to maintain and protect parental rights for many years to come.

As long as CPS is allowed to have an exaggerated view of their power and is allowed by state officials and the courts to exploit that power and abuse it against both children and parents, they will both be continually harmed. The constitution is there for two primary reasons, 1) to restrict the power of the government and 2) to protect the people from the government, not the government from the people. And the constitution is there to prohibit certain activity from government officials and that prohibition does not apply to one type or kind of official but to ANY government official whether it is the police, CPS or FBI.

“More money flows through the family courts, and into the hands of courthouse insiders, than in all other court systems in America combined – over $50 billion a year and growing. Through extensive research and interviews with the nation’s top divorce lawyers, mediators, judges, politicians, litigants and journalists, DIVORCE CORP. uncovers how children are torn from their homes, unlicensed custody evaluators extort money, and abusive judges play god with people’s lives while enriching their friends. This explosive documentary reveals the family courts as unregulated, extra-constitutional freedoms. Rather than assist victims of domestic crimes, these courts often precipitate them. And rather than help parents and children move on, as they are mandated to do, these courts – and their associates – drag out cases for years, sometimes decades, ultimately resulting in a rash of social ills, including home foreclosure, bankruptcy, suicide and violence. Solutions to the crisis are sought out in countries where divorce is handled in a more holistic manner.
