The Narcissist Playbook in Court—and How to Stop It Cold

If your ex thrives on control, drama, and manipulation, you're not just dealing with a difficult person—you’re likely dealing with a narcissist. And when the courtroom becomes their stage, things can turn ugly fast.

Whether you're facing a narcissist in divorce or a custody battle, you need more than just a good argument—you need a strategy built to neutralize their tactics.

In court, narcissists typically try to:

• Flip the script and play the victim

• Make false allegations to discredit you

• Manipulate your children into rejecting you

• Charm the judge while tearing you down privately

But you can shut this down—with the right plan.

Start with documentation. Keep texts, emails, and visitation records. Focus your energy on patterns of manipulation, not isolated incidents. Judges want calm, consistent parents—not reactive ones.

Create a rock-solid parenting plan with zero gray areas. Narcissists exploit ambiguity. Define everything—times, dates, communication rules. Use parenting apps to limit contact and prevent gas lighting.

And perhaps most importantly—stay calm. Narcissists are experts at provoking emotional reactions they can use against you. When you refuse to react, they lose power.

I’ve put together a detailed, powerful guide that breaks all of this down:
