With the growing number of divorces, child custody battles, and parental alienation cases, it's important to understand the laws in Florida that govern such matters. Parental alienation is a serious problem that can lead to long-term damage for those involved. It is a situation in which one parent systematically undermines the relationship between the child and the other parent. It can involve the negative use of words, gestures, and physical action.


In Florida, parental alienation is addressed under the Florida Statutes, Chapter 61. It states that if a parent is found to be engaging in parental alienation, the court can make various orders to protect the child, such as ordering supervised visitation or ordering counseling for the parent.


The statute also states that if a parent is found to be engaging in parental alienation, the court may also consider awarding custody or visitation rights to the other parent. If the court believes the child's best interests are not being served, it can also order a change in custody.


If you are involved in a situation involving parental alienation, it is important to seek legal help from a Miami child custody attorney. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights and make sure that the child's best interests are protected. An attorney can also help you make sure that the court understands the situation and can make an informed decision.


It is essential that you take the necessary steps to protect your child's rights and ensure that the other parent is not engaging in any form of parental alienation. An experienced Miami child custody attorney can provide you with the legal help you need to do just that.
