What is parental alienation?
Parental alienation occurs when a parent’s conduct interferes with a child’s relationship with the other parent, harming the child’s emotional stability. Colorado courts evaluate actions and their impact, not labels or intent.
Courts look for conduct such as:
- Interfering with parenting time or communication
- Speaking negatively about the other parent or allowing others to do so
- Involving the child in adult conflict or encouraging sides
- Withholding school, medical, or activity information
- Undermining parental authority or making false allegations
These patterns are treated seriously because they affect a child’s well-being and custody outcomes.
Colorado Law and Your Rights
Colorado courts address parental alienation within child custody cases by applying the best interests of the child standard under C.R.S. § 14-10-124. The law centers on how each parent behaves and whether they support the child’s relationship with the other parent.
When a court finds that a parent’s conduct is harming that relationship, it has several tools available. Depending on the facts, a judge may modify parenting time or decision-making authority, order therapeutic or reunification services, impose compliance measures to protect contact, or hold a parent in contempt for violating court orders.
These remedies are fact-driven and heavily influenced by timing and credibility. Acting early can preserve evidence, prevent harmful patterns from becoming entrenched, and protect your rights before temporary arrangements harden into long-term outcomes. Strategic legal guidance at the right moment can meaningfully affect how the court responds.

Expert legal care delivered with patience, kindness, and unwavering professionalism.
Jones Law Firm did an amazing job taking over my case after I had to terminate my first law firm for borderline malpractice. I was breaking away from a narcissistic, abusive relationship and William Garvey and his paralegal Rachael were patient with my ignorance and thorough with their work and also, as anyone in such a position in life needs, very kind. I highly recommend them if you find yourself in a similar situation. They will take care of you.
Kind, responsive, and exceptional support when it mattered most.
Had an amazing experience! Jimena and Jacki were a great team for me. They got back to me in a timely manner and were so kind and helpful in a difficult child custody battle and divorce. Would highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is parental alienation illegal in Colorado?
Parental alienation is not a separate criminal offense or standalone legal claim in Colorado. Courts address alienating behavior within parental responsibility cases using the best-interests standard under C.R.S. § 14-10-124.
How do I prove parental alienation?
Courts look for credible, consistent evidence of a pattern, not a single conflict. Helpful proof often includes parenting-time histories, communication records, and documentation showing repeated interference or undermining behavior.
Can parental alienation affect custody?
Yes. If a court finds that a parent’s conduct is harming the child’s relationship with the other parent, it may modify parenting time or other terms to protect the child’s best interests.
What are the first steps I should take?
Follow existing court orders carefully, keep communication steady, and document concerns in an organized, factual way. Timing and credibility matter.
What if I am falsely accused of alienation?
Alienation accusations are scrutinized closely. A measured, well-documented response that demonstrates cooperation and compliance is often more effective than defensiveness.
How does Jones Law Firm approach these cases?
We take a strategic, team-based approach focused on clear communication, disciplined evidence organization, and coordination with professionals when appropriate, so the court sees a coherent, child-focused case strategy.
