Rabbinical court to sanction alienating parents

New protocol for rabbinical courts requires urgent handling of cases involving children’s safety and parental alienation, including rapid hearings, court oversight, and sanctions against alienating parents.

* Considering transfer of custody: The protocol states that alienation occurs under the custody and responsibility of the parent with whom the child resides, and that this failure constitutes a substantive deficiency in that parent’s fitness to have custody of the child. Accordingly, solutions will be considered, including immediate transfer of the child to the alienated parent, or temporary placement with a third party or therapeutic center for the purpose of preparing the child and renewing the relationship.

"These proposals are intended to eradicate or reduce the harm to the tender souls of children who, sadly, experience parental alienation, and the severe future consequences this has for those children, who have no rescuer and who turn their eyes to us," Rabbi David Yosef said.
