Unraveling the complexities of 'alienation' in family law, this episode dissects the controversial concept of the debunked 'parental alienation syndrome',  and reveals the deep-seated biases that imperil protective mothers and their children in the Australian legal system. 
You're invited to join a critical conversation that questions the societal and legal insistence on preserving a child's connection with both parents in the face of abuse. This discussion exposes the systemic failures that endanger children placed in contact with abusive parents, and sheds light on the inadvertent yet troubling role that professionals may play in perpetuating this cycle.

Host and specialist Separation and Divorce Coach, Danielle Black,  champions the abandonment of discredited terms like 'parental alienation', advocating for clearer language that truly captures the manipulative tactics of abusers and reinforcing the urgency of protecting both women and children post-separation. 

In Danielle's trademark 'no BS' style, and drawing from her own lived experience as well as that of her many clients, this episode serves as a clarion call for change.
