alienator
One who divides
An alienator is someone who causes separation or estrangement.
The term appears most often in legal contexts—particularly family law, where a parent who turns a child against the other parent may be labeled an alienator: The court found the mother to be an alienator who had poisoned the children's relationship with their father.
More broadly, anyone who drives people apart or creates distance in relationships.
