Steps to Divorce an Abusive Narcissist

Gather Evidence 

  • Document instances of abuse, including dates, times, and descriptions. Collect any relevant emails, text messages, or other communications that demonstrate the abusive behavior. 

Seek Legal Advice 

  • Consult with a knowledgeable attorney who has experience in family law. They can help you understand your rights and develop a strategy for your case. 

Secure Your Safety 

  • If you feel unsafe, consider obtaining a restraining order to protect yourself and your children. Your attorney can guide you through this process. 

Prepare Financially 

  • Ensure you have access to your financial accounts and important documents. Open separate bank accounts if necessary and change passwords to protect your personal information. 

Focus on Your Well-being 

  • Divorcing a narcissist can take a toll on your emotional health. Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist to help you cope with the stress and emotional challenges. 

Work with Your Attorney
