Custody battles are never easy—but when your ex is a narcissist, they become a battlefield of manipulation and control. Narcissists thrive on chaos. They lie, twist facts, and provoke emotional reactions they can use against you in court.
But here’s the truth: You can win custody. You just have to play smarter—not harder.
As a family law attorney in Hoover, Alabama since 2003, I’ve helped many clients win custody against high-conflict, narcissistic exes. The key? Stay calm, document everything, and let the narcissist’s behavior expose itself through the proper channels.
What to do:
Keep a log of everything—missed exchanges, nasty texts, sudden outbursts
Use communication apps (like OurFamilyWizard) to track messages and avoid conflict
Ask the court for a guardian ad litem or parenting evaluator if needed
Avoid reacting emotionally—it’s exactly what they want
Courts don’t reward drama—they reward stability. Show the judge you’re the parent who’s focused on the child’s wellbeing, not conflict.
