Coffee Talk: Repercussions of Parental Disparagement & Alienation

Think the "trash talk" about your ex is harmless? While doing so may feel good in the moment, it can result in unintended consequences for you and your child.

Listen and learn as Lauren Artese & Paige Zandri, Matrimonial and Family Law attorneys, discuss how your current anger with your ex can have long-term affects on your ability to parent and your child's mental health.

We were excited to have Barbara Rothberg, DSW, LCSW, join us this coffee talk. As a family and couple therapist for 40 years, Dr. Rothberg has helped parents create parenting plans and couples separate in the most amiable way possible.

Some of the areas we cover:

• What is disparagement in the eyes of the court

• What parental alienation can lead to for your children

• How it can physically and emotionally cost you

• Tools you can use to help you avoid from taking the wrong actions

One very important take away - there are resources out there for you and talking tools you can use to get through these difficult times. One resource we always recommend is FamilyKind - a nonprofit organization empowering children, parents and couples before, during and after separation or divorce — no matter their family configuration, or financial situation.

If you need help working through co-parenting issues or you need advice on how to navigate your child custody matters, we are always available for a consultation.
