According to public information only 4 percent of cases go to trial over custody. 23 percent are domestic violence cases. 40 percent go to trial overall. Mostly assets. The whole alienation industry has created a giant mess and has lead to a drastic increase in single father households. People are being kept unjustly away from their children. In many cases it's false alligations of parental alienation. Yet the alienation industry doesn't want to talk about or address any of it.
Ever since Ned Lamont has come into office, he has ignored all attempts to continue the previous governors numerous years of supporting this proclamation. Enough is enough!! Parental alienation has passed the Daubert and Porter tests in CT as valid empirically scientific. To deny the scientific evidences, 35 years of research and study on this horrific form of psychological abuse that is a felony under Custodial Interference laws is a travesty. National PA Day has for proclaimed as such in 2007. How is it that then, that it is no longer viable as a valid proclamation? Children and their parents are being tortured and abused by this felonious act of custodial interference that uses false allegtations of abuse. Enough!! While the rest of the world recognizes that Parental Alienation is real, CT falls way behind in denying this proclamation. A proclamation that should not need to be renewed every year but be listed as a annual event.
The Transformation of Family Court: Addressing Parental Alienation and System Reform and hope.
Recent developments in understanding Parental Alienation (PA) offer hope for positive change. An increasing number of judges and professionals are receiving specialized training to recognize the behavioral patterns associated with this form of psychological abuse, particularly when it involves false allegations as a means of custodial interference.
While legitimate abuse cases certainly exist and must be taken seriously, there's growing concern about the role of certain legal professionals who may exploit family court proceedings for financial gain. Some troubling practices have emerged, including:
The deliberate targeting of parents through aggressive litigation tactics designed to damage their employment, businesses, assets, and reputations. In some jurisdictions, there have been documented cases of "price fixing," where professionals allegedly coordinate to extend cases until reaching predetermined profit targets. When confronted with such misconduct, some attorneys have chosen early retirement rather than face formal investigations.
More concerning are instances where attorneys have been accused of orchestrating false abuse allegations or facilitating international parental kidnapping. While these professionals may leave practice when faced with serious allegations, some continue to retaliate against parents and experts who raised concerns about their conduct.
To address these systemic issues, several reforms merit consideration:
1) Restructuring the family court system by separating financial matters into civil court while keeping family relations issues with specialized family services departments.
2) Establishing dedicated teams within Family Relations to provide oversight and ensure proper case evaluation.
3) Moving abuse and neglect allegations to criminal courts, with mandatory 30-day resolution timelines to protect parent-child relationships.
4) Adopting an "intact family" model that emphasizes therapeutic intervention over adversarial proceedings. This approach would focus on:
a) Family therapy for relationship issues
b)Specialized programs for parents needing behavioral modification
c)Therapeutic supervised visitation when necessary
d) Teaching children resilience and boundary-setting skills
Perhaps most crucial is addressing the issue of false allegations. While genuine abuse cases require thorough investigation and intervention, the pattern of repeated unsubstantiated allegations often signals an attempt to maintain control through system manipulation. Enhanced domestic violence training for professionals could help distinguish between legitimate and false claims more effectively.
This reformed approach would prioritize family healing over prolonged litigation, ensuring better outcomes for children while maintaining appropriate safeguards against actual abuse.
The Implementation of PA-Related Legislation: A Balanced Approach
Legislative action addressing Parental Alienation requires careful implementation, much like other complex legal defenses such as temporary insanity in criminal cases. The key lies in comprehensive training and education to prevent misuse of these protections.
This understanding must be grounded in scientific research conducted by qualified professionals with extensive experience in the field. Drawing from my four decades of work with families since 1984, I've observed the nuanced nature of alienation cases. Some parents who believe they are victims of alienation may, upon closer examination, discover they are inadvertently engaging in alienating behaviors themselves. Others are genuinely experiencing targeted alienation campaigns.
Importantly, Parental Alienation knows no demographic boundaries - it affects parents regardless of gender or racial background. This equal-opportunity form of psychological abuse requires an equally balanced approach in both recognition and treatment, supported by evidence-based protocols and professional expertise.
This implemented would guarantee even more child abusers get custody in CT. Joan, why do so many children abusers scream PA if it's totally real? Why s it most popular among child abusers,
Parental alienation has been used as a weapon in the state of Connecticut. The entire industry is unregulated practice. I've watched the AFCC conference and the so called " professionals" stating protecting children which they call alienation is worse than sexual abuse accuring. The AFCC doesn't differentiate between estrangement and alienation. It's a bundle package. There is no crisis of fatherhood and women making false claims to keep children away. According to the us census bureau 24 percent of fathers abandon their children. Several absent fathers are incarcerated. There are widows and widowers. Your not a fool Michael Volpe. Misinformation and unregulated practice have been running our court system.
You are a fool. That is not even close to what I said. But as typical with you Mr. Volpe, it is not about the truth but the sensationalism you can create for yourself. An intelligent conversation that you turn into your mud slinging bath. Typical of abusers like yourself.
The state of Connecticut has started to recognize that " parental alienation" is being abused in the family court system. It should be banned from the court system. Evidencirary hearings should be held. Domestic violence has been addressed. The state of Connecticut system has been a mess for the last 10 years. They are starting to figure it out.
I for one will be requesting the governor doesn't dedicate a day to unrecognized hypocritical theories that are not regulated. That's harmed so many people
Parental Alienation was specifically excluded by the CT Legislature and “Coercive Control” was legally recognized. The impetus was Jennifer's Law.
Lamont could grant the proclamation, as it's largely ceremonial. But it would be controversial because it's technically contrary to the laws of the state.
Other states recognize PA as part of the law. If it were me, I would ask Ron DeSantis to recognize it in Florida and Byron Donalds to recognize it in Congress. It's part of Florida law.
Hell, they have a better shot at getting Trump to sign a presidential proclamation than Lamont to give one out of the Nutmeg State.
We are waiting for Trump to get in. There is a lot of information to be given to the DOJ. Florida like CT recognized parental alienation for fatherhood funding.
