UK Falling Behind? Denmark Recognises Parental Alienation in Law from Jan 2025

Denmark’s 2025 Parental Alienation Law vs UK Law: Are We Falling Behind?

On 1 January 2025, Denmark became one of the first European countries to formally recognise parental alienation in law. Their new legislation allows family courts to consider deliberate alienating behaviour during custody and contact decisions.

This marks a major shift in legal recognition of how narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and high-conflict dynamics can damage parent–child relationships.

In this new video, I break down:

- What the new Danish law includes

- How it defines and applies parental alienation

- How UK courts currently treat similar cases

- Differences in enforcement, safeguarding, and child arrangement orders

- The role of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Right to Family Life)

This isn’t just a legal debate — it’s a human rights issue. As more countries modernise their response to family conflict and emotional abuse, the UK must consider whether it’s doing enough to protect children and non-resident parents from long-term psychological harm.
