Messy divorce/custody battle with a Narcissist ...

[VaBtrfly]

Hi. Not sure if anyone out there has encountered this issue but here goes... my best friend is in the middle of a divorce from his N wife. Dealing with her has been an extremely difficult undertaking, especially concerning the children, (one of which suffers from mental health issues). Both children reside with her due to his job relocation. (Same state, different city). There is no true custody agreement in place but, he does pay her child support. He is in no way an absentee father or "deadbeat dad." She takes great pride in twisting the childrens minds regarding their father. When he doesn't do exactly as she demands, she punishes him using the children. Her demands are becoming more and more unrealistic but, after years of emotional and psychological abuse, he is unable to find a suitable way to deal with her. He worries about the damage to the children and they are in counseling, however the counselor is a co-worker of HERS. All my friend wants is his divorce and unencumbered access to his children. I'm searching for anyone out there who may have some experience in dealing with a narcissist. Any tips or tactics would be greatly appreciated. Have a blessed day!

Have his attorney ask for psychological examinations.  This will be for BOTH of them.
