For all the parents out there going through this stay strong. Never let them pull you down to thier level. Show your kids how much you love them with your actions, not just words. I have been there and made it through and so can you. Stay strong and keep the faith.
Family law is beyond a joke in this country and in need of urgent repair, my ex wife willfully mislead and manipulated the entire system including her own daughter, I have been a good dad, I have done nothing wrong, my daughter has been used as a weapon of war, stay strong!
So true, this is exactly what happens and then the child is the one who identifies so much with the alienator (usually mother), that all you get from the child is tight lips and a frown.
Excellent summary, quite similar to my own situation in so many ways. When will these arrogant and hateful people realise that children thrive on love for both their parents and both sides of the family, and that this behaviour can cause the most appalling damage to young and impressionable minds. All the best to everyone going through this, Dads as well as Mums
Not only only is my Daughter not speaking to me, She lives with her Brother and hasn't spoken one kind word to him in the same amount of time.-nothing!
The relationship that we 3 had would make Charles Ingalls envious. It was even remarked upon by strangers. Where she used to confide in him with absolute trust, she dispises him now along with the worst insults and fights thrust upon him. The mother allows this behavior to continue.
Problem you face now will be the ex arguing that you're no longer a regular part of the child's life, and it'll be disruptive to change that... and the court will side with her. Your only hope, really, is if your daughter expresses her wish to see you.
Don't give up; the onset of teenage years might bring it all into the foreground again, you daughter acting out and wanting to see her dad.
@sailorguy9: A friend of mine was recently told by his ex, after eight years of marriage, that she "found him at the bottom of the relationship barrel, and only took him on because it was Sponsor-A-Spastic Day." He's not seen his kids in five months.
It's not only dads who go through this...I'm a mom and my ex is doing this to me. Took our kids and told them a lot of false negative things about me...it hurts and is extremely frustrating because the courts believe everything he says and I am in the biggest fight of my life to get my girls back from him!
I'm so sorry this all happened to you.
Parents need to grow up and stop using their children against each other!

It would be impossible to be that way here.
