What is the impact of prolonged conflict between parents in high conflict?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Friedlander v. Claman, 2015 BCSC 2409 (CanLII):

Price J. considered circumstances where parents were in prolonged conflict at para. 24: 24 Murray J., in Jackson v. Jackson, (1995), referred to the damage the parents in that case were doing to their children by their prolonged conflict: As with many parents in high conflict, they purport to wage war for the best interests of their children... The practical reality is that they have no apparent interest in curbing conflict to minimize the potential of harm to their children.
