American Bar Discovers Parents Are Being Alienated from their Children

During your divorce and after did you feel that your children were being alienated from your life? Brainwashed or even programmed?

Did anyone listen to what you had to say or were you told that you were just "sour grapes"

Well you should know that several years ago the "Family" Section of the American Bar did a study that concentrated on children being brainwashed, programmed and alienated from the target parent.

For instance the American Bar found that the parent who was actively brainwashing often rationalized what they were doing - and doing so "in the best interest of the child". Often claiming that they were the parent telling the truth.

The brainwashing parent used what ever means available to punish the target parent - often using the former couples children to deliver the message.

In over 20% of the cases studied religion was used to label the target parent as being "bad".

The Bar discovered that the programmers thinking was irrational.

The list goes on and as the targeted parent you could probably add to what was discovered by the American Bar. Yet the Bar has done little to shed light on the problems associated with one parent alienating another. This despite knowing how to detect and manage the problem in the court system.

One thing that you should do as the targeted parent is document every instance that alienation happens. Keep a journal, get a voice recorder and record what is happening to you. Otherwise it is your word against the brainwasher.

Do I Have to Accept The GALs Appointment?

Because the courts recommend a Guardian ad litem (GAL) does not mean you have to accept the appointment.

We have talked with a number of parents who told us that they had a Guardian ad litem appointed and were afraid to say no to the appointment. We were asked could they have objected to the appointment?

Yes they can.

Object to the appointment. Let the court know that you refuse the appointment of a Guardian ad litem so that it is on record.

You lose nothing and gain everything by doing so. The courts may feel that the appointment is needed - let them force the GALs appointment.

If you agree it becomes harder to make a case against the "work" the GAL will do during your families divorce. If something happens that does not sit well with your beliefs you now have to show why this GAL should be removed - an impossible task. The courts are going to look at you and ask why you agreed to the GALs appointment in the first place if you didn't want one. You look bad and indecisive in the eyes of the court.

By refusing the appointment of the GAL in the beginning you are telling the court that you do not believe in the use of this vendor. It becomes easier to object to the continued use of the GAL. You still may not be able to remove the GAL - but at least you do not appear to be sour grapes who has had a change of heart half way through the process.

MeGAL works for change in the "Family Court" system by educating parents and our representatives. If you have a concern about your case we encourage you to talk with your state representatives.
