When I finally decided to get divorced from my wife and finally had the courage to go through with the court filing, I was told by my attorney that by NH state law (RSA 458-D) myself and my soon to be ex-wife had to take the Child Impact Seminar since we were parents of minor children. There we would learn about the effects of divorce on children and what to do and what not to do.
This seminar is a joke. First it is a waste of money. Someone is getting rich and benefiting from these seminars. It sure is not our children. The seminar assumes two things in my opinion. First is that you are both parents without parenting skills and second that you are both reasonable people. Let’s get real. If both parents were reasonable people, this seminar would not be needed and most likely the two parents would not be getting divorced.
Every tactic that was discussed about parent alienation was used by my ex-wife in one way or another. You might say that this course was a training seminar for learning how to alienate your children from the other parent. Good job State of New Hampshire David Forrest
How do we stop these people? If I had all the answers, I wouldn’t be blogging. I feel that we need to revamp our family courts and have a process which eliminates people that support parent alienation. People like Jaye Rancourt, Doug Thornton and David Forrest
