The Debate Over Parental Alienation

Rory sat in her car, dreading what lay ahead. Another day off work and another day in court with her whispered who was fighting her for custody of their son. An hour later, the judge looked from Rory to her ex. She could practically hear him saying, "What now?" in his sigh. Her ex's lawyer rose and began a long soliloquy about his "poor client," now saddled with debt he can't pay off: "Ruining his credit, no doubt."
