In the context of divorce proceedings, parental alienation has emerged as a complex issue that profoundly affects family relationships and the rights of the child. This study addresses its impact from a legal and psychological perspective. The aim of this study is to analyze how parents may negatively influence their children during divorce proceedings, with particular attention to the impact of this influence on child welfare and on court decisions on custody and visitation. The methodology used consisted of a systematic review of 19 scientific articles selected from academic databases, through the use of descriptors such as "parental alienation", "divorce proceedings" and "family law", through the PRISMA protocol. The analysis included the study of legal frameworks, applicable regulations and relevant doctrinal citations. The results show that parental alienation is a critical problem in separation processes, with significant repercussions both on the rights of the parents and on the best interests of the child. It was identified that legislation in countries such as Spain and Ecuador recognizes the need for reforms aimed at establishing legal and psychological intervention strategies that mitigate the effects of this phenomenon on the emotional development of minors. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of designing objective judicial procedures, supported by interdisciplinary criteria that ensure the comprehensive protection of minors in contexts of high family conflict.

Palabras clave : best interests of the child; family law; legal intervention.
