Parental alienation — when one parent systematically undermines a child’s relationship with the other parent — is one of the most damaging issues that arises in Nevada custody cases. Hauser Family Law has 20 years of experience identifying and addressing parental alienation in Clark County Family Court.
What Is Parental Alienation?
Parental alienation occurs when one parent deliberately damages a child’s relationship with the other parent through negative talk, false accusations, interference with parenting time, and emotional manipulation designed to turn the child against the targeted parent.
How Nevada Courts View Parental Alienation
Nevada law requires courts to consider each parent’s willingness to support the child’s relationship with the other parent when making custody determinations. A parent who engages in parental alienation risks losing custody. Nevada courts have modified custody arrangements to give primary custody to the targeted parent when alienation is serious and documented. Learn more at leg.state.nv.us.
