As an attorney whose firm has successfully represented many clients in divorces involving narcissistic spouses, I have learned a thing or two about how to beat them at their own game. Narcissists are notoriously difficult to deal with, but with the right strategy, you can come out on top. In this blog, I will provide some tips and insights on how to beat a narcissist in a divorce.

  • Gather Evidence: Narcissists often try to manipulate the truth and control the narrative, so it’s important to have evidence to back up your claims. This can include financial records, emails, texts, and other documentation that supports your position. It’s important to work with a skilled attorney who knows how to obtain and use this evidence effectively.
  • Set Boundaries: Narcissists thrive on attention and drama, so it’s important to set clear boundaries and stick to them. This can include limiting communication to email or text, avoiding personal attacks or arguments, and refusing to engage in their attempts to manipulate you. It’s important to stay calm and professional at all times, even if they try to provoke you.
  • Stay Focused on Your Goals: Narcissists may try to distract you from your goals by making unreasonable demands or filing frivolous motions. It’s important to stay focused on what you want to achieve and not get sidetracked by their attempts to derail the process. By working with a skilled attorney, you can develop a strategy that keeps you on track and minimizes the impact of their behavior.
  • Don’t Be Afraid to Fight: Narcissists may try to intimidate or bully you into giving up on your goals, but it’s important to stand up for yourself and fight for what you want. This can include filing motions, going to court, and using the legal system to your advantage. It’s important to have a skilled attorney who is willing to fight for you and who knows how to use the legal system effectively.
  • Get Support: Dealing with a narcissistic spouse can be emotionally draining and exhausting, so it’s important to have a strong support system. This can include a therapist, family and friends, and other professionals who can help you stay strong and focused during the divorce process. It’s important to take care of yourself and not let their behavior affect your mental or emotional well-being.

In conclusion, beating a narcissist in a divorce is no easy task, but with the right strategy and support, it is possible. By gathering evidence, setting boundaries, staying focused on your goals, not being afraid to fight, and getting support, you can come out on top and move forward with your life.
