Abstract
Parental alienation (PA) is a contested yet increasingly recognised phenomenon at the cutting edge of contemporary families. The PA field straddles the intersection of family dynamics, power, gender, and politics. Defined by behaviours one parent adopts to manipulate a child into rejecting the other parent without reasonable grounds, PA is a social dynamic driving family configuration and the family narratives that constitute the contemporary family. PA also drives adverse societal change as an alienation discourse. Family networks transcend national boundaries, geography and historical structural forms. They engage in a recursive process with profound changes in social expectations arising from PA and gendered policies and laws. PA, Family Law and Child Support provide succour to new and unsettling relational moralities.
