If you are reading this, you probably already know what we mean. Being married to a narcissist was hard, and divorcing one isn't any easier. So when we work with clients in this position we always tell them to "Be Prepared for the Worst". That means, accept that odds are low that it will be amicable.
Narcissists feed from the fights and seeing you hurt. For that reason, it can be extremely difficult to reach a swift amicable settlement.
Make sure you choose a lawyer with litigation experience but a track record of reaching settlements on tough cases.
Do your best to reach a settlement but go into your divorce knowing that you may be in for a long, drawn-out battle.
