When a child, 2 years, is stuturing and leanring faces, names and relations, I believe it would be in the psychological and social welfare of the child to have better liaison with non-custodial parent, like a brief visit of at least 1 hour daily, if possible. Have US/European courts have ever given any decision on Child Alienation Syndrom in such cases?

What does "stuturing" mean?

Is this a personal question or a homework question?

What on earth is "Child Alienation Syndrom"?

I am familiar with a Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS). This term was first identified by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Richard A. Gardner in the 1980's. As a psychiatric (behavioral) issue it remains controversial. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of it's legal viability. Here is a brief article that may provide you with further resources. PAS is not a diagnostic category per current classificatory systems. (DSM-IV, ICD-10).

The following provides a little information on how courts view such claims, although I'm not sure of the age or validity of the following:
