How seriously do Kansas Courts take claims/issues about parental alienation. What is considered proof?
I have a case where exspouse is attempting to destroy parental bond and the child is beginning to act out, is confused about our relationship. She says if it were up to her I would never see the child again (5 yrs old, son). The child has told me when his mother shows up and I'm there, like at his preschool, he says "You better get out of here she doesn't like it when you are here and she makes loud noises at me".
My son is exhibiting extreme anger and agression for a child so young and I believe it is due to my ex-wife's actions. I believe that he feels, understandably from his point of view, that she must be appeased and in order to feel that his relationship with his mother is "safe" that he must join her in her dislike of me.
My ex-wife is extremely judgmental and has many rigid ideas about religion. She washes his mouth out with soap for saying things that are not cuss words but just something she dislikes.
Its impossible to communicate with her. I wish she would put aside her feelings about me (she really has no reason to dislike me either other than that I would not agree to her desire for another child) and focus on whats good for our son.
I understand that sometimes people will start trying to construct some sort of abuse charges against the other in order to gain control and I feel if I push this alienation thing she is intent on that she is going to try to say I'm abusing our son.
She grills him everytime he's been with me, what did we do, where did we go, who did we see. She says I have alcohol problems but thats untrue. I've passed drug tests, have a clean driving record, etc. Now she has told our son that I am not to be in the same room when he showers. So to me that is tantamount to accusing me of having "desires" about him that are inappropriate which are absolutely offensive to me (her charges/suspicions).
This woman is becoming more and more rigid. Its been 3 years since we separated and 2 since our divorce yet she is unable to cease her attempts at manipulating. She can't manipulate me as easily as before so now she uses our child.
Please help.
I have joint custody with visitation every other weekend and one evening/night a week. I'm wanting another week with him, she of course says no.
I wonder if she is harming him with her attitude. I'm concerned about his anger/acting out as well.
