We're asking for the federal government to amend the Divorce Act to say that accusations of parental alienation are not admissible, that judges can't consider them, and that they can't admit expert testimony on alienation. Of course, we'll then go knocking on the provinces' doors to do the same for unmarried partners.
In terms of Spain, obviously it's a different structure, but that's what they did. They said that it's not admissible and that children have a right to be heard. They also have a right to be respected in their opinion, because the parental alienation accusation is being used to say that although the child does not want to be with their father, I should force them to be with the father.
There are other countries that have gone the other way to say that we need to address parental alienation, not in terms of the accusations but to punish “alienating” mothers. They're now backtracking, because they've seen how sexual abuse of children and other violence is increasing and going undetected due to trying to punish mothers when there are allegations of violence.
