"How to Manage Children's Counsel, Child Protection Workers, Police, Parenting Coordinators, Therapists and Evaluators"


On Sunday, July 7, 2019 at 8 PM EDT,  Brian Ludmer, B. Com, LLB will be presenting these issues on our international seminar call. PA and high conflict custody cases are complicated by the interactions with non-family actors who can wield enormous influence on outcomes. Sorting out truth from fiction and managing the processes and influences of these key players is essential in ensuring a favorable outcome to the case. This call will examine the typical and atypical roles played by others and provide practical and legal (procedural and substantive) guidance on how to manage these processes. We have not had a call with such extensive information on these topics. Very helpful to those alienated and targeted parents and grandparents as well as those working in professional fields with alienation. Please let others know about this call.

MISSION  STATEMENT

Our main concern is the children and grandchildren and then the complete family.  Sadly the children and grandchildren who are alienated from family are being treated as pawns and property. They are neither. They are human beings.They should not be regarded as such by their parents or any other family member.  We contend that it should be illegal to use children as pawns or instruments of spiteful behavior in an effort to prevent them from interaction with ALL other family members.  Our purpose and goal is to ensure the preservation of extended, traditional family relationships. In the process of this hell on earth called alienation, we need all the knowledge and support we can get to help our children and grandchildren and then ourselves. To contact us, please email familyaccessinnc@aol.com.

HISTORY

In April 2012, Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights was founded by Elaine Cobb who is also president. Elaine herself is alienated from her granddaughter Dare who she has never seen and is now 8 years old and her adult son Bryan who she has not seen since December 26, 2010. Her granddaughter Dare is alienated from her whole side of her daddy's family. This is why she determined to try in helping make a difference in this abuse being caused to the children, grandchildren and family members. In the beginning, her goal was to help those in the state of North Carolina where the founder  and president, Elaine Cobb resides. In just a short time, Elaine realized that alienation was a huge epidemic which was indeed all over our world. She realized at that time she wanted to do all that she could to help those suffering through this hell on earth. She started the international seminar calls nationwide. In less than a year, she took the calls on an international level. Now Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights helps in supporting 33 countries in educating as many alienated family members and professionals in regards to alienation through our international seminar calls. 

We also know one of the biggest ways to defeat alienation is to bring more awareness to those who know nothing or very little about alienation. This website was designed with that in mind as well as giving information to alienated family members to help them know all they can to get through this and one day hopefully be able to see their alienated loved ones. It is also here to help professionals i.e.., attorneys, mental health professionals, judges, legislators, school officials, researchers, writers, child advocates, etc. There is much to learn and we hope to give all as much as we can to help.

Laws must be changed as well to protect the rights of these alienated children and grandchildren to see ALL their family members. Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights has worked tirelessly for equal shared parenting laws as well as grandparents' rights. We will continue in this fight for all the children and grandchildren in our world. Alienation is abuse!!!
