Protecting children during parental conflict

Preventing and healing parent-child estrangement and alienation

My particular concern is protecting children in families in which arguing is taking up more and more time, parents are thinking about separation, child custody may become an issue, or one parent is trying to pull the children to one side – parent-child alienation. Even if the parents’ relationship as a couple cannot be maintained, they both remain parents, and children should continue to have contact with both. In pursuing this goal various difficulties may be encountered. I will support you on an individual basis in resolving these difficulties.
