The term "parental alienation" remains one of the most debated concepts in family law today. While it was originally created to describe situations where one parent may influence a child to distance themselves from the other parent, this term has grown far beyond its initial purpose. It now appears frequently in custody battles, legal proceedings, and broader conversations about family dynamics. However, there are significant concerns about why using "parental alienation" may not be the most effective approach from both clinical and legal perspectives.

In high-conflict family litigation, urgency can change everything.

Parents facing immediate concerns involving their children, safety, finances, or parenting time often believe they need an emergency motion. In some cases, they are right. In others, bringing an emergency motion can seriously damage credibility before the court.

Ontario family courts treat emergency motions differently than ordinary motions. Judges expect parties to understand the difference between a true emergency and a difficult family dispute. Failing to appreciate that distinction can have significant consequences.

Understanding when emergency relief is appropriate — and when it is not — is critical to protecting your case, your credibility, and your long-term litigation strategy.
