How Can A Child Be Used As A Weapon?

There are many ways a parent may use a child as a weapon to hurt the other parent. The parent may:

• Withhold visitation

• Brainwash the child

• Tell lies about the other parents

• Encourage the child to lie or talk negatively about the other parent

• Use the child to manipulate the other parent

• Threaten to take the child from the other parent

If one parent is using the child as a weapon, an attorney can help bring it to the court’s attention and use those actions to prove that the parent is not capable of acting in the child’s best interests. You could win custody or visitation rights based on the other parent’s actions.
