Q: In Georgia how close to my child's 18th birthday can I file an action regarding Parental alienation?
There has been a sudden change of behavior and fear in my child's voice. She is about to turn 18. He has always broken the cardinal rule of never giving adult problems to a child. I have not filed action regarding it in order to not make it worse for her, as she is forced by the courts to spend time with him and she has always been afraid to talk, so it would be to the court that I was trying to create trouble( trouble actually exists). I fear that she is being pressured with her 18th birthday coming up. When she is 18 she will be free to not see him, so it may be he is afraid that she will either talk (tell what he has done) or listen (learn the truth which I have not told her to keep her life bearable in the midst of the court ordered proximity). When is the last day I can file action regarding parental alienation, and if the action would proceed after the filing even though the child would be 18 by the time it goes to court?

A: Any action regarding parenting time would be moot after a child turns 18.
