On the rest of it all I will say is; everyone you will talk to will have their personal examples of "unfairly-maligned alienated parent" and that's exactly what's led to family courts being weaponised and effectively used to further control and abuse ex-partners, it's a horrendous situation that's been going on unchecked for a long, long time and because of exactly what this thread is about: the courts are behind closed doors, and people are not allowed to talk about what goes on there.

I could share stories with you of children screaming and wetting themselves whilst being dragged off (occasionally with police escort) for a judge-mandated weekend stay with a parent, and the other parent not only being unable to do anything about it without being arrested, but being unable to even publicly TALK about it without being in contempt of court. Real horror stories that you would not like to believe. And the argument is always that "some contact is better than none", and that the real danger is "parents not getting along".

Hopefully this will change now and some of these abuses of power will be higlighted.
