I read a sad Facebook post from a dad whose first contact from his child after two years was a text to inform him she didn't want him at her graduation and instructing him not to show up. As it's graduation season, others may be interested in my reply. I wish justice for all alienated parents.
I'm not an attorney and this is not legal advice.

Did mom intentionally alienate the child with lies?
Sounds like:
What Is Domestic Violence?
Does your partner ever….
Insult, demean or embarrass you with put-downs?
Stop you from seeing your friends or family members?
Make all of the decisions without your input or consideration of your needs?

Failure to protect fathers such as yourself and children from this abuse:
