[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]parental alienation [/quote]

Parental alienation is highly disputed theory that has been misused to explain why children do not want to engage with a particular parent.

The idea that every time a child doesn’t want to spend time with a parent has to be the result of the other parent’s actions is ludicrous.  Parents are just people and some people are unpleasant, angry, mean or selfish.  Kids don’t necessarily want to be around that; it has nothing to do with the other parent’s actions.

It’s ludicrous but men and their attorneys use it with great success in court and in custody evaluations. Fighting alienation allegations now. It’s wild to realize that men invent entire theories and then train their parties to propagate them rather than face the fact that someone just doesn’t like them because they did a bad job of interacting with them, but it’s an actual thing.

Relieved that your DD is almost 18, OP. Hopefully you live somewhere where getting a hearing for this would take a solid 8 weeks. Luckily even if he was serious, no one would allow ex parte proceedings for this kind of thing. [/quote]

It’s wild that some women alienate their kids and find all kinds of ways to justify it.  I hope you don’t have kids.  If a 18 year old doesn’t want to see a parent fine but[b] don’t expect child support or college help.[/b]  [/quote]

Okay.  So you equate visitation with financial support.  So the daughter could go to his house, sulk, stay in her room, and behave in all the fabulous ways that a teenager can exhibit when they’re unhappy and the you would pay for college and/or child support because the child is sleeping in your home.  Is that correct?  Or does the child have to visit and be pleasant—act in a way that makes the dad feel that he is an involved and loved member of her family in order for the financial support to follow?

Just curious what the requirements are for the child.[/quote]
