Divorce can be challenging especially when dealing with a narcissistic spouse. Anticipating a narcissist’s behavior will help you to develop a strategy for a successful resolution of your divorce case. Divorcing a narcissist brings additional challenges and uncertainties that you and your lawyer must navigate carefully. Narcissists can be relentless in their effort to achieve the outcome they feel entitled to and rarely care about who their actions affect along the way.
Predicting exactly what a narcissist will do during a divorce can be difficult because narcissism can vary so much from one person to another. Some may be willing to go to more extreme lengths than others to get what they want. However, there are common characteristics associated with narcissists that you will likely be able to recognize in your spouse.
When dealing with a narcissist, you never know what they might do during a divorce. They may turn to any one of several different tactics to get what they feel entitled to in the divorce. These behaviors range from lying to tampering with documents to help prove their case. Understanding the potential tactics that they may use can help you better protect yourself and your children during the divorce.
Knowing how a narcissist may behave in a divorce can help you to form a strategy to get through this process. Divorce is a trying time, but divorcing a narcissist can be harmful to your emotional stability and physical wellbeing. Below is a list of coping strategies on how to deal with a narcissistic spouse during a divorce:
