Have you seen Spellbound? We appreciate the way this film carefully depicts parental separation and children's emotions throughout the journey.

: Acclaimed animation director Vicky Jenson tackles tough themes of divorce and broken homes in this CGI adventure about a teenage princess whose bickering royal parents have been transformed into unruly monsters. The Netflix film cleverly uses fairy tale elements to address how children's feelings are often ignored when adult relationships are irrevocably broken.

We think mainstream media tools like this can help normalize conversations and create an empathetic approach for children and families going through difficult transitions, and hope to see more stories like this in the future!

Conservative parents are lashing out. Vicky Jenson reacts.

If you've been involved in in any way during the last 40 years, you've undoubtedly heard of the concept of "Parental alienation."

Unfortunately, this campaign has put the safety, health and well-being of many children and their safe parents in danger here in the U.S. and around the globe for decades.

Current research proves that mothers are losing custody disproportionately. Too often, financial incentives and misunderstood abuse labeled as high-conflict proceedings birthed the "reunification camp" industry.

Learn how we got here and what we can do to put child safety first in family court, via National Safe Parents Organization.

Raise your awareness around reunification camps, the disturbing roots of the term parental alienation and their impacts on the outcomes in custody cases.

Families with neurodivergent children face unique challenges as every neurodivergent child has unique needs. There’s no one way to make decisions for neurodiverse children; there are a variety of diagnoses, and even among the same diagnosis, there are tremendous variations.

It's more important than ever that family law professionals get educated about neurodiversity and get equipped to work with co-parenting and high-conflict families.

We recommend this blog from OurFamilyWizard to help develop a baseline for these parenting decisions. Most importantly: Tailor the approach to the child's unique needs and remember, a diagnosis is just how we begin to better understand and communicate.

When co-parents have a neurodivergent child, their family law professionals need to approach the case with special considerations. One size doesn’t fit all.
