Divorcing a Narcissist: Attorneys in Las Vegas, NV

Types of Narcissists You May Face in Divorce

When dealing with a narcissistic spouse, you may encounter:

• Financially abusive narcissists: These individuals may hide assets, refuse to provide fair support, or manipulate financial obligations to maintain control.
• Physically and emotionally abusive narcissists: It's common for narcissists to resort to intimidation or emotional abuse to assert dominance, which requires a careful and sensitive legal approach.
• Narcissism and power: Many narcissists cling to power dynamics, turning the divorce process into a battleground for asserting control rather than a means for equitable separation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorcing a Narcissistic Spouse

If you are divorcing or even thinking of divorcing a spouse with narcissistic personality traits, you are facing some difficult questions. While every situation is unique, the following are general explanations for questions we get frequently.

How can I raise the matter of divorce with my narcissistic spouse?

It is wise to consult your attorney and get plans in place before bringing up the subject of divorce. You should ensure you have copies of all important financial information and access to accounts; you need a plan to keep yourself safe if your news triggers a dangerous reaction. Your attorney can help you prepare.

How can I approach financial allocation when my spouse expects to get everything they want?

Your spouse is not legally entitled to get everything they want. Often, it is necessary to allow a judge to allocate property to get a fair settlement. However, we can ensure that the judge understands your priorities and why you are entitled to a share of marital property that your spouse claims should be their sole separate property.

How do I prevent my spouse from making me feel guilty for wanting a divorce?

You cannot control what your spouse feels or thinks, but you can control what you choose to hear. By channeling all communication through your legal team, your spouse has little opportunity to manipulate your feelings.

Will I be able to compromise with my spouse?

Only time will tell the answer to this one. While we often use techniques to encourage compromise, we also always lay the groundwork to succeed in achieving your goals through litigation if necessary.

Effective Strategies for Communication

Navigating communication with a narcissistic spouse during a divorce requires strategic planning. We recommend documenting everything. Keep records of all interactions, which can be evidence in the divorce proceedings.

Firmly establish and adhere to communication boundaries, leaning on legal counsel when necessary. Finally, remain objective by focusing on facts rather than emotions during interactions to prevent manipulation from derailing the process.
