Divorcing a Narcissist Divorcing a narcissist can be one of the most emotionally and legally challenging experiences. Narcissistic spouses often seek to control proceedings, manipulate situations, and prolong disputes to maintain dominance. This can make separation and property settlements particularly difficult. Under Australian family law, the court prioritises a fair and equitable division of assets, as well as the best interests of children in parenting matters. However, when dealing with a narcissistic ex-partner, you may face gaslighting, refusal to negotiate, and high-conflict litigation. Strategies such as limiting direct communication, keeping detailed records, and focusing on legal rather than emotional responses can help protect your interests. At Aylward Game Solicitors, we understand the complexities of divorcing a narcissist. Our experienced family lawyers provide strong advocacy and practical strategies to help you navigate property settlements, parenting disputes, and intervention orders where necessary. We work to minimise conflict, ensure enforceable agreements, and protect your rights, allowing you to move forward with confidence. If you are facing a high-conflict divorce, contact us for expert legal support. Let us help you regain control and achieve the best possible outcome.
