2025 Conference Theme
Best practices in parental alienation assessment, intervention & advocacy:
A roadmap for judicial accuracy and resolution
Throughout the 2-day conference, we will collectively shift from debating the existence and nature of parental alienation to empowering the judiciary with the latest tools and scholarly knowledge for legal accuracy in cases involving parental alienation and other forms of family violence. Attendees will gain insight into research driven strategies for fair, science-based decision making in Courts that lead to tangible outcomes for families.
Keynote address
Mme. Justice Marie-France Vincent, juge responsable de la chambre familiale, district de Québec, Cour supérieure du Québec, will facilitate a conversation between target parents including Joshua Homme (two-time GRAMMY winner and lead vocalist of the 9-time GRAMMY nominated rock band Queens of the Stone Age) of Dalle-Homme v Homme Los Angeles, and Mr. X of the X v Y and Ms. G of the F v G Canadian cases.
The cases involved allegations of domestic violence and parental alienation. They were resolved with the help of Court orders that included reversals in decision-making authority, a minimum 90-day no contact period, and attendance at the Family Bridges workshop & aftercare.
Dr. Barbara Jo Fidler (psychologist) and Mr. Brian Hall (lawyer) will offer additional comments from a clinical and legal perspective.
