From False Allegations To Parental Alienation - Lisa Johnson on Custody Wars & Finding Truth
In this powerful episode of Inside the Polygraph, David Goldberg sits down with special guest Lisa Johnson, host of the Been There Got Out podcast and a three-time published author, for a deeply important conversation about false allegations, custody battles, parental alienation, and the devastating emotional toll these situations take on families.
Drawing from her own lived experience and years of helping others through high-conflict divorce and co-parenting trauma, Lisa shares hard-earned insight into how false allegations often surface during separation, divorce, and custody disputes. She explains how manipulation, control, coaching, and legal abuse can be used to damage a parent’s credibility, isolate them from their children, and create long-term emotional harm for everyone involved.
David and Lisa discuss how these allegations can affect not only mothers and fathers, but also grandparents, siblings, extended family, careers, reputations, and most importantly, the children caught in the middle. They break down how children can be pressured to say things that are not true, why context matters in these investigations, and how false narratives can take on a life of their own if the right professionals do not step back and examine the bigger picture.
The conversation also explores how family courts, custody evaluators, social workers, attorneys, and law enforcement may respond to these cases, and why credibility, calm presentation, documentation, and evidence are so critical when defending yourself against lies. Lisa explains how high-conflict individuals often use paperwork, accusations, and emotional chaos to gain leverage, while David shares how polygraph examinations can help restore integrity, support the truth, and provide valuable evidence for people fighting to clear their name.
Lisa also talks about her work with clients around the world through Been There Got Out, where she helps people navigate toxic relationships, high-conflict divorce, and alienation cases with strategy, support, and clarity. Together, she and David offer practical insight, validation, and hope for people who feel unheard, overwhelmed, and emotionally exhausted by family court and false accusations.
Whether you are going through a custody dispute, facing false allegations, dealing with parental alienation, or trying to understand how to protect yourself and your children in a high-conflict case, this episode delivers real-world guidance from two professionals who are passionate about helping people find truth, closure, and a path forward.
