Legal Strategies for Divorcing a Narcissistic Ex-Spouses
Understanding Narcissistic Behaviour in Divorce
Dealing with a narcissistic ex-spouse during separation or divorce in Ontario can feel overwhelming, especially when their behaviour escalates in high-conflict situations. Narcissists often display patterns of manipulation, gaslighting, and financial control.
Common Traits of Narcissistic Ex-Spouses
- Manipulation and Gaslighting: Narcissistic ex-partners may rewrite events, deny obvious facts, or create doubt about your perception of reality.
- Financial Control: They might withhold support payments, hide assets, or create unnecessary financial disputes to maintain leverage. In Ontario, this can delay equalization of net family property and impact child and spousal support arrangements.
