Custody Case: Reestablishing Visitation After Parental Alienation

A mother contacted our office after years of reduced and inconsistent contact with her children. The other parent had steadily limited her involvement and created barriers that damaged the parent-child relationship.

Legal Strategy

We filed motions to enforce and modify visitation, presenting evidence of interference and documenting communication patterns. We worked with counselors and third-party professionals to demonstrate the importance of rebuilding consistent parenting time. Our strategy centered on the children’s best interests and the value of maintaining a healthy relationship with both parents under Oklahoma custody law.

Challenges

The case involved long-standing alienation and emotional resistance from the children influenced by the other parent. We had to overcome claims that reduced contact was voluntary or in the children’s best interests. Careful presentation of evidence and professional testimony was critical.
