Alienación Parental: Niños Huérfanos de Padres Vivos

Mauricio Luis Mizrahi | Spanish, 2022

The concept of parental alienation has already entered jurisprudence in several rulings, including one from the Supreme Court of the Nation (Argentina). Children who refuse to see one of their parents even if there is no justification; fathers or mothers victims of false reports of abandonment, mistreatment, violence and even abuse, deprived of seeing their children for unacceptable periods of time because justice takes years to elucidate cases and even after acquittals; parents who refuse to abide by the judicial provisions on visits, reconnections or family therapies to prevent the resumption of the child’s relationship with the former partner. Those are the situations of injustice, pain, and psychological damage that parental alienation causes.
