High-conflict family law cases can cause serious emotional and mental harm to children when conflict is allowed to escalate.
In this episode of the Barrows for Judge Podcast, Leslie Barrows speaks about how courts can protect children in cases involving parental alienation and persistent conflict.
The conversation focuses on the responsibility judges have to control the pace and tone of high-conflict cases and to prevent children from being used as leverage between parents.
Leslie discusses how firm and consistent case management can reduce escalation and encourage healthier behavior from the parties involved.
