The NH Supreme Court Opinion . . .

Excerpt:
In other words, Todd (the mother) was unable to sort out false allegations from real ones. Into the bargain, Todd failed to protect her daughters from her own feelings and fears about what she thought may be happening, thereby perpetuating the girls’ own confusion about the nature of what daddy had or had not done.
So, given years of false allegations against Miller and the manifest inability by Todd to (a) distinguish fantasy from reality and (b) promote a healthy relationship between Miller and his daughters, the trial court did what so many of them do; it gave custody to the children’s mother.
In other words, it took a long, expensive and arduous climb to a Supreme Court and a qualified Psychologist's evaluation to call the mother on her bullshit. That is something this Thurston Superior Court and, for that matter, every level of the gender biased Washington Courts, refuse to do even when the evidence is presented to warrant at least an investigation or psych eval. You won't get this kind of ruling in Washington in any court. But, good for New Hampshire and good for children everywhere.
Conclusion:
And that, in a nutshell, is how courts should rule in these cases. They should make it clear that false allegations of abuse are not acceptable and that they will not be used to benefit the alienating parent.
It’s a simple concept that more courts need to grasp.
