Ravi Kaur Mahey, Childcare Director at Duncan Lewis, discusses parental alienation in this month’s edition of Albanian Post. This comes following recent revelations that this autumn, new guidelines will be given to social workers who look after a child’s interests in family courts, meaning that for the first time, the possibility that a child has been deliberately turned against one parent by the other will be considered. Ravi writes; ‘There has been significant awareness of parental alienation in the last decade with some cases highlighting the issue, however, the fact remains that there is still much to do to properly identify such cases…There are many cases where proceedings have continued for years and the courts remain reluctant to take drastic action and change residence of the child back to the alienated parent”
