They Think They Are Above the Law
-
Your husband may have laughed in your face when you told him you wanted a divorce. He may have degraded you by saying that you’re nothing without him and wouldn’t be able to take care of yourself alone. Narcissists think they are above the law and that they don’t need to abide by its rules. They also think they are better than everyone else. If your husband is a narcissist, he may not take your intentions seriously.
They Lack Empathy

They Are Master Manipulators

Your husband will most likely try to manipulate the lawyers and the judge into thinking that he is the victim in the situation and that you are a bad person, in order to get what he wants.
