The dissolution of marriage or separation of the couple has been accomplished. Co-parenting is now the narcissists place of connection and control with their former partner. Using children in this fashion is not appropriate and can have substantial and long-lasting adverse impact if not strategically dealt with as a matter of initial priority. If the conflict is not managed, third parties, such as educators, medical and child care professionals may decline involvement with the family. Having a strong, experienced professional team is imperative. Educating yourself on these dynamics is advisable. Consider some of the techniques discussed here.

You must have a strategy.
These cases are often determined by the Court as the narcissist will strongly believe the Judge will reule in their favor. They often decline to agree on any settlement due to a belief the coutt will be persuaded by their position. In addition, if the decision is made by the Court, then there is a way to avoid responsibility for the outcome blaming such on the court. Meanwhile, they will seek to run up the bill and do that which they can to frustrate best interests.
