The word narcissist is in the news a lot lately with people frequently using the word loosely to describe anyone who is boastful, arrogant, manipulative, or seems to let emotions control their actions and reactions. Someone with a narcissistic personality disorder may indeed exhibit these characteristics. However, other individuals may share these same qualities, not have a personality disorder, but still be really, really difficult to interact with, especially in the divorce context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proceeding with a collaborative divorce when a spouse has a difficult personality\u2014narcissist qualities or something else\u2014can be quite challenging. Proceeding collaboratively might also be the best route to go depending on your assessment of the following factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Experience and knowledge of the professionals. When interviewing potential divorce lawyers, find out how many cases they have handled in which a narcissist or other high conflict personality has been involved. To increase the chance of success with a collaborative divorce, it is important to have strong, experienced professionals involved. If there is a weak link, the high conflict personality spouse will find it and exploit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Adherence to the collaborative process structure. The collaborative process is more likely to be successful if everyone adheres to the structure\u2014neutrality of allied professionals, joint meetings with agendas and summaries, everyone completing assigned tasks. High conflict spouses will try to hijack the collaborative process to suit his or her own needs and motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Patience. Any divorce\u2014collaborative or otherwise\u2014likely will take longer than a divorce that does not involve a high conflict individual. The harder you push this individual, the harder they push-back so it requires patience and skill to keep the case moving forward toward a settlement. Setting a hearing or trial date is not an option in a collaborative divorce and in some instances, a hearing or trial date is the only way to move a high conflict spouse to the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Trust. You must trust your lawyer. Your willingness to take your lawyer\u2019s advice and recommendations is directly related to the level of trust you have in your lawyer. Sometimes the advice you receive will run counter to your instincts, but your instincts have not always served you well in your relationship with this difficult spouse. Trust between the involved professionals is also important. If the professionals do not have some level of trust in each other\u2019s integrity and motivations, the high conflict spouse will try to capitalize on any fractures he or she senses in the professional relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to move forward with a <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/services\/divorce\/collaborative-divorce\/\">collaborative divorce in Austin<\/a>, then find a good therapist and\/or support group that can assist with feedback and tools for communicating productively with a difficult spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The narcissist or difficult spouse often makes settlement decisions based more on how good he or she will look to his friends, family and co-workers rather than on what the family needs. Collaborative professionals know and understand this and will make room in the collaborative process for your difficult spouse to look really good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right knowledge, awareness, and advice, it is possible to divorce a very difficult spouse without the divorce turning into an all-out war. In an all-out war, no one wins least of all your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kris Algert is one of the most experienced Collaborative Family Lawyers in Austin and has been named Best Lawyers \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/news\/kristen-a-algert-named-2020-best-lawyers-lawyer-of-the-year-in-the-austin-area\/\">Lawyer of the Year<\/a>\u201d for Collaborative Law in the Austin area in 2013, 2016, 2018, and 2020.&nbsp;She is a Master Credentialed Collaborative Professional by Collaborative Divorce Texas, is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and is known for her respectful, constructive problem-solving approach to helping clients move forward with confidence after divorce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn if Collaborative Divorce is the right solution for you, please contact&nbsp;<a class=\"ga-processed\" href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/attorney\/kristen-a-algert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kris Algert<\/a>&nbsp;at 512-454-8791<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular Family Law Articles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/texas-standard-possession-schedule\/\">Standard Custody Agreement Texas<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/property-division-101-answering-eight-important-questions-about-property-division-in-texas-divorce\/\">Texas Divorce Community Property<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/what-to-do-if-my-child-refuses-visitation-in-texas\/\">14 Year Old Doesn&#8217;t Want to Visit Father<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/allocating-parental-rights-divorce\/\">Texas Family Code 153.132<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/texas-divorce-forms-and-helpful-resources\/\">Divorce Documents Texas<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/can-i-spy-on-my-spouse-if-i-suspect-they-are-cheating\/\">Is Putting a Tracker on a Car Illegal<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/divorce-mental-health\/\">Spouse with Mental Illness Divorce<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/drug-testing-seven-faq\/\">Fingernail Drug Test<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/how-to-start-the-new-year-off-right-after-a-divorce\/\">How to Move Forward After Divorce<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/child-support-adult-children-disabilities-texas-customized-support-18\/\">Child Support Special Needs Over 18<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/negotiation-principles-techniques-and-strategies\/\">Negotiation Tactics and Strategies<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/how-is-child-support-calculated\/\">Max Child Support in Texas<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/what-rights-do-stepparents-have-after-a-texas-divorce\/\">Step Parent Rights in Texas<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/8-common-tax-issues-to-consider-when-negotiating-your-divorce-settlement\/\">Divorce Tax Refund Split<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/blogs\/holiday-standard-possession-orders-in-texas\/\">Non Custodial Parent Holiday Schedule<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attorney Kristen A.
