need_help_homeowner_IL OP

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

parental alienation in custody dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
