DIVORCE is not 'one thing'; it is a process, and it's a process that can vary just incredibly.

People can have both NPD and BPD: Approximately ten percent of people have one of these disorders, or both of them concurrently.

Approximately six percent of people have Narcisstic Personality Diorder. You may be a spouse who is married to a NARCISSIST. Traits of a narcissistic may include:
Selfishness, think they're better than everyone else
Lying, demean others, lack empathy and care for others
Blaming, and 'it's NEVER my fault', see self as 'victimized' by others
Seeing people as either 'good people' or 'bad people'-it's not at all uncommon to see relationships that suddenly fracture - from 'BFF' to 'I hate you'

Approximately six percent of people have BPD: Spouses with BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER ('BPD') tend to always live in fear of abandonment, and they may:
Have rapid mood swings, sudden bursts of anger/rage
Manipulate to get what they want
Hypersensitive to criticism or perceived slights
Alcoholism, other drug use, anorexia, bulimia-forms of self harm
Seek revenge, use confidential information to hurt others
Fixate on spouse
A spouse with BPD may be the initiator of the divorce.

Approximately four percent of people have ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER ('APD'). The APD spouse may:
lie, cheat to win, enjoy hurting other people
Disrespects rules, social norms and law generally-disrespects all perceived to be in positions of authority
Want to destroy their spouse
Takes risks, will take some risk of 'being caught'
​Twist the truth & the facts: APD-person is 'the Victim', and the other spouse 'the Abuser'

  • I myself was married one time -for many years - and I am divorced. Divorce was not at all a positive experience
  • In the vast majority of my divorce cases, I am The Sole Lawyer involved. I guide my clients to what’s reasonable and smart & cost-effective, not the opposites.
  • Divorcing husbands/wives can choose to be generous, if they want. For example the division of assets/money/retirement does not have to be 50-50. It’s so common that step parents love their step kids near-same as if those kids were their own.
  • I help many clients in a 'limited' sort of way: Usually I can tell my client of several options/choices they have, for me to help them in a limited way, to curb their lawyer expense,, but there are many more terrific reasons for this approach - one is that this is YOUR LIFE and it's wonderful to see you control your destiny.   (Limited attorney help in divorce is sometimes called 'Limited Scope Legal Services' or 'Unbundled Legal Services' / 'Unbundled Attorney'. )
  • Divorce can be relatively ‘easy’, but, based on my years of work, I’d say the norm is that it’s a stressful time.  
  • In the worst divorce cases, I will sometimes have to tell my client how my client & I control all we can - but we are not omnipotent & do not & and cannot control the choices of behaviors of other people, your spouse, the particular lawyer that your spouse has chosen.  In the bad and sad divorces, I may recommend my client think of it all as ‘cutting losses’, as best and as fast as you/we can.
  • Use the confidential Contact Form & send me a message right now: Include the name of your spouse (because I need to be sure I do not recognize who it is). 

Rated 'Superb' year after year. No legal problem is too complex or too tough
