Today, an essential victory was made in the courthouse, one that sends a strong message to anyone alienating children from a parent who genuinely wants to be there. My own journey through the legal system has been a rollercoaster, but hearing my daughter's lawyer acknowledge the alienation I faced was a pivotal moment. This isn't just about me—it's a call for change for every parent facing the same battle.

Parental alienation is a serious issue that affects countless families. It not only damages relationships but can have long-term emotional impacts on children. My experience in Oregon courts highlighted something important: when children have a voice, the dynamics shift. My daughter's desire to be with me was a turning point, affirming that children's wishes should hold significant weight in custody considerations.

We need to ensure that Oregon courts are empowered to recognize and address parental alienation. This means giving children their rightful voice in custody hearings and recognizing the importance of balanced parental involvement. No more should parents be unjustly deprived of time with their children due to manipulation or alienation tactics.

It's time for Oregon to stand up for our children’s well-being. By supporting this petition, we can drive local authorities to adopt policies that protect children from being weaponized in parental disputes. Let's push for reforms that prioritize the emotional and psychological health of children, ensuring they have access to both loving parents whenever possible.

Join me in this crucial fight for fair parental involvement in Oregon. Sign this petition to protect our children from the damaging effects of parental alienation. Together, we can make a difference.
