    I'm a dad that battled a narcissist in court, and I got 90% of what I asked the court for. I was the petitioner, so I went first. When my lawyer asked me the routine questions, I gave detailed compelling answers. When her lawyer started asking questions, her intent was to "lead" me into contradicting my answers and misrepresenting facts. I didn't fall for it. They would ask me a question that I answered, but then I attacked the other side to draw a contrast. This is how you control the narrative and the judges perception. When it was her turn to go, my answers caused the other side to have to defend against my attacks, without knowing the real story. That ended up being a disaster for them, as the judge on multiple accounts got pissed at them. Attacking the other side works, but be classy about it. If you are going to attack the other side, the proper method should be to give examples of things that they did that were not right.

      She is getting away and will continue to get away with it because she plays “victim” in front of everyone and is the aggressor behind closed doors.
      Unfortunately you will “loose” in the beginning but you will win in the end because society doesn’t believe that women can be that cunning. You just have wait patiently for them to see for the mask to fall off.

      You know its actually worth studying how they fight. Most will not acknowledge your accusations against them before immediately charging you with something first. I have seen several immediately manipulate their way out of criminal charges that were supported by video and picture evidence. When asked how they plead they immediately went on the attack of the other party. Never addressing the charges against them. Judges sometimes get sucked in early when this happens. I think its more important nowadays to learn about mental health issues and behaviors and present the behaviors to the Judge in court. Motion for psych. evals early on and support the motion with lists of behaviors. Also of extreme importance is using language that calls into question the Narcissists " Lack of Insight". This makes Judges aware of this issue and more or less asks them to scrutinze for it during the hearing. This" Lack of insight" argument can not be taken lightly and It is extremely powerful.

    Thank you for your advice! My case is done! The key was, the actual truth. My team was organized and everything was well documented in chronological order. This included screenshots of texts and social media, copies of anything and everything possible such as financial statements, computer records, device search history, general data, bills, receipts, etc.
    The narcissist could not fight the truth. In fact, in the end he actually gave in to all demands and looked physically defeated.
    From my experience I would suggest anyone trying to divorce a narcissist (or any other) to gather as much information as possible prior to filing. Even if it looks like useless or unrelated information, you’ll be surprised how it all fits together as a whole. The most insignificant looking receipt I found became quite important later on.
    The narcissist will try to destroy/hide everything possible once you file. Beat them to it!

    I do appreciate you and the others who detail/ talk about/ give pointers on how to handle narcs. I’ ve experienced both (male & a female). Fortunately I had surrounding evidence (workplace full of people who saw thru them, or experienced their bs first hand). These people alerted me. So when the narc (the female, she taught me everything I know about narcs - unintentionally on her part) saddled up to me. I knew that they like drama, scenes, arguments (done publicly if possible to make the actual attacked party look crazy, while making themselves look sane). So whenever she did something to get a rise out of me. I would act as though I never got her message(s), or actions. I would act as if she hadn’t performed any action at all to rile me up. Messed with her big time, not intentional on my part. She would do things to me and them come to work and watch me for a reaction. She would always be around others in a fake normal conversation hoping I would come up to her all hopping mad while she looks all innocent (like I’m just attacking her out of the blue). I just remembered she liked causing scenes and just avoided them. Also I alerted some of my co-workers as to what was going on between us and they were able to keep us apart (work in different areas). Also from the problems she where she painted herself as the victim I was able to put two and two together to figure out to hold onto stuff/ things that she sent me and to bring them up nonchalantly in conversation....hmmmmm, just like she would. I’m not a narc but I definitely used their own playbook against them. Again whenever she lied I didn’t confront her (she would know I was onto her). I just made a mental note and kept it in mind when dealing with her.

    My narcissistic husband underestimated me. He also thought what he had put in the petition was truth since it was written in a legal document.
    Little did he know about the legal system is actual evidence speaks volumes. Saving texts, photos of assault, phone recordings, etc.
    While I testified of his abuse I could see in my peripheral his rage building and body language obvious to all. He ended up cursing me out in the courtroom, having a tantrum, admitting to strangulation, punching, kicking me but because “she did this.. she did that and made me”. (Side note: Long story short he had me arrested in that incident. It was immediately rejected by DA)
    I was given a Final Protective Order and temp sole custody of our son. He is given supervised visits. I was fortunate I had an attorney and he went pro se. I can’t remember how many times the judge told him what he says can be used against him. Especially considering he is facing a second degree assault charge.
    Like she said DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT! Be your own advocate and rise up against all the pain they put you throughout the years you put up with the abuse.
    Thank you for your videos, Rebecca. I just found them and prepping for the resolution of this Divorve!

    Hey Rebecca, I thought of a possible topic that you might provide insight on. "Good faith". We know that a Narcissist wants to argue, manipulate and get their way. Where does the topic of "good faith" fall when co-parenting with this type of personality? When is it safe to discontinue a conversation when it becomes obvious that the Narc is not approaching it in good faith?

    For those who might be a bit skeptical, don't be. She hit the nail right on the head with all she said. When I documented every encounter that I either suspected would be brought up in court or something I needed to bring up, I immediately sent them to my attorney. The encounters I documented were also in-person, so I was able to record audio due to us living in a single-party consent state. I had over two years of recordings she knew nothing about until discovery.
    As a detective, I had to learn how to anticipate what the defense may bring up. That also helped a lot. As she said, PREPARE FOR BOTH SIDES. You can't focus just on the bad on the other side. You need to focus on the good on your side as well.

    I am in Sonoma County, CA. My Narcissist’s lawyer is pals with all the Judges in the Sonoma County Superior Court. In fact, they are BAND MATES in a band called ‘Court’N Disaster’. They all talk to each other about the case. I just asked for a TRO to stop the narc from TRAVELING OUT OF STATE multiple times with my son during Covid! By air! My TRO was denied but what do you know, all of a sudden he canceled his plans to travel with my son to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. I told NO ONE I was asking for this restraining order, but that morning after the Judge’s decision, the narc cancelled his travel plans AND THEN the next day quoted something verbatim I had written in my declaration. The only person who saw this declaration was the Judge.....

    The Court needs to be educated about Narcissism. I lost in court, because the Judge had 15 minutes to deal with us. She did NOT watch the video that could be an incriminating evidence. That video was a threat made by my ex- narc., she dismissed the evidence that my ex impersonated as a police officer to shut me up. Yet, he brainwashed me that he wanted me to visit Hawaii (multiple times). The Judge told him not to pay me back anything. The court system is flawed. I bet my ex is grinning. That grin on his face will not last. I hope he gets his karma.

What are you talking about? he has even accuse me of making faces at him when I never did, but I catch him all the time mad doggging me, I don’t know what to do, but I am not being given a fair trial or hearing whatever you call it

    Just recently went through mediation with a narcissist & wow did he flip when I asked that he not use any guns out of the safe, illegal drugs & drinking while our child visits him. I only brought it up bc one of the MANY reasons I left was bc of his immature/irresponsible lifestyle that did not change as we aged. Shortly after I requested that those safety boundaries not be crossed , he started going on about how his family is united & his parents have been married for so many years…..ALL of which had nothing to do with the safety issues of what I brought up. The mediator noted that & said she will pass that request to the judge & then rushed us off the call soon after.

There's other stuff going Minor they pay for nothing or take to doctor appointments I'm focusing on the kids despite all the other stuff he's done to me I'm documenting the kids behavior and the neglect on his part how can I box them in I think I need to go to trail no choice It's been 4 yrs ago. Your tips are amazing my ex has tried to have direct contact with me I won't agree to it. Only recently I had to for Thanksgiving family was away I only agreed to drop off at my driveway no contact I didn't talk to him I looked out the window to see if he arrived that was it documented he bought a new truck. How is it hes able to a sign a lease if i have to apply for a loan I'm told he has to sign for school loan I'm like abuse there's no way we need to apply a different way. If I get a house I have to disclose. A court reporting I'm hoping he'll loose it in court I won the assets in 2018 he's raking back over it again kids furniture other stuff petty things in spite. I haven't heard from my lawyer I don't understand hows hes gotten away with this. I'm focusing on my case I need to print up more messages there quite a bit how hasn't he not be held in contempt and perjury I don't understand? He's actually lied in court I was blindsided didn't have the evidence at the time. He was late with drop off the only time I had direct 3 hours late he's often late dropping off to my parents place this is how we estange I don't trust him. My ex said he wanted to sudtle, but that wasn't true or the co parenting he only wanted to sudtle if it was only fair on his side which was to take the assets that I bought before we were married. Emotions in check really tough very avoid contact a good idea. I need to be prepared my lawyer hasn't done that It's crazy I know know the route he'll do in trail lies unfortunately and manipulation my daughter we'll be 12 in March he won't get a say in where she decides she wants to go to school she's getting to be old enough she doesn't know the truth tho hes done the smear campaign I haven't told the kids the truth about him I'm not allowed to say anything about him and he has and continues his behavior I know he won't stop his behavior even when we're in trail.
