Practical Guidance for People Representing Themselves
Is Your Relationship With Your Child Being Undermined?
Parental alienation rarely starts suddenly.
It often appears as:
• Gradually reduced contact
• A child becoming distant or hostile without explanation
• Contact arrangements being disrupted or frustrated
• Allegations used to justify restriction
• Professionals accepting one narrative without challenge
If this is happening to you, doing nothing allows it to become embedded.
Parental alienation can be addressed — but only if it is approached calmly, strategically, and in a way the court will take seriously.
Why Parental Alienation Cases Are So Difficult
The Family Court does not respond well to:
• Emotional arguments
• Blame-focused accusations
• Long histories and grievances
• Unsupported claims
Judges look for:
• Patterns of behaviour
• Evidence, not opinion
• Child-focused reasoning
• Reasonable and proportionate responses
This course shows you how to present your case in a way the court understands and respects.
About this Course
Fighting Back Against Parental Alienation is a structured training course designed for parents who:
• Are representing themselves
• Believe alienation is taking place

This is not therapy or theory.
It is practical, court-focused guidance.

Coaching or Training - Not just videos and paperwork
This is not just a self-study course.
In the Coaching you have Conference Calls with Simon Walland included and Simon will check all of your prepared documents. In the Training, you will have the option to book case conferences and document checking and and when you need them:
• Check your progress
• Review your documentation
• Ensure you are on the right track
• Discuss issues you are unsure about
This ensures you are not guessing or working in isolation.
Why Acting Early Matters
When alienation is left unchallenged:
• It becomes normalised
• Reports repeat the same assumptions
• Contact is gradually eroded
• Rebuilding relationships becomes harder
Early, measured intervention gives the court options.
This course helps you take the right steps at the right time.

This course is suitable if:
• You are a parent in a children case
• Contact is being restricted or undermined
• You believe alienation is occurring
• You are representing yourself
• You want to act properly and strategically
No legal background is required.
