Examples of Questions an Attorney Might Ask a Narcissist During a Custody ProceedingHow many children do you have with (former spouse or partner's name)?Do you want to be in your children's lives?Since you want shared custody, what will that mean to everyone involved?
Getting a narcissist to reveal themselves in court may be as easy as allowing them to talk about what a great parent they are to their children. Let them talk about how they spend time with the children doing homework, taking them to practice, and riding bicycles.
A narcissistic parent will often abuse the normal parental role of guiding their children and being the primary decision maker in the child's life, becoming overly possessive and controlling. This possessiveness and excessive control disempowers the child; the parent sees the child simply as an extension of themselves.

By some measure, nearly 90% of all cases in our legal system settle out of court. Knowing this does not mean that parties to a lawsuit, whether it be in Family Law, Criminal Court or Civil Court, can rest on their laurels and wait for a positive settlement. The reality is just the opposite: good trial preparation will almost always help reach a positive “out of court” settlement.
Have a plan: Lawyers call this the “theory of the case”. It is simply the reason why you should win. Your plan will guide everything you do, from preparing for the temporary hearing, requesting discovery documents, taking depositions, negotiating during mediation and finally preparing for, and conducting the trial. I am always surprised at how many lawyers go to court and have no plan, or theory, as to why their client should win, but rather disparage the other party with the hope that the chips fall their way.
Proper use of affidavits: Once a Temporary Order has been issued by a Family Court judge, the terms of the Order may be in place for up to a year until the matter is finally resolved. As such, a Family Law Temporary Hearing must not be taken lightly.
Early use of subpoenas: The Family Law rules, at least for now, require that the legal process for exchanging information in a lawsuit (discovery) can only be started once a court order has been issued. As a result, people often feel unprepared for a Temporary Hearing (which is often referred to as a “trial by ambush”) because a temporary hearing will almost always be scheduled before a discovery order has been issued. But this does not mean you have to go into a Temporary Hearing “blind”. Once a lawsuit has been filed, the rules permit a party to issue subpoenas to compel the disclosure of information from third parties, in spite of the fact that no order of discovery has been issued.
