Parental Alienation Legal Steps

Summary

Parental alienation involves one parent preventing the other from seeing their child or speaking negatively about them. In Illinois, you can address this by documenting all instances of alienation, seeking mediation, and filing a petition to modify custody or visitation through the family court system. Consider keeping detailed records of all occurrences, including dates and times, to support your case. Mediation can help resolve conflicts amicably, but if necessary, legal action may be required to protect your parental rights.
