He manipulated you.
Controlled you.
Lied to everyone else.
Now it’s your turn to take back control.
Hi, I’m Steve Kaplan,
a Monmouth County divorce lawyer with over 37 years of experience helping women safely and strategically divorce high-conflict, narcissistic husbands.
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve spent years walking on eggshells—second-guessing yourself, hiding your truth, and feeling invisible.
Maybe he’s charming in public and cruel in private.
Maybe he controls the money, the narrative, and the parenting decisions.
Maybe he turned the people closest to you against you.
Maybe you’ve even started to wonder if you were the problem.
Let me be clear: You are not the problem.
But now, it’s time to stop playing defense.
I’ve helped hundreds of women walk away from men who made them feel powerless.
You don’t have to do this alone—and you don’t have to lose everything to get free.
A Word of Warning Before You File
Filing for divorce from a narcissist is not the same as filing a normal divorce.
Why?
Because narcissistic husbands don’t want to part ways peacefully.
They want to win.
Control the outcome.
Punish you for daring to leave.
If you file without a strategy, they will:
-
Weaponize your words
-
Drain your finances
-
Lie to the court
-
Use the children as leverage
So before you do anything, you need a game plan.
Understand What You’re Up Against—and How to Win
1. Control
Narcissistic husbands often:
-
Restrict access to money
-
Make all the decisions
-
Use legal threats to intimidate
-
Undermine your authority as a parent
✅ What Works:
Freeze shared accounts.
Keep records.
Hire a lawyer who understands emotional abuse and financial control.
2. Lack of Empathy
They minimize your pain.
They mock your feelings.
They act like your exhaustion is weakness.
✅ What Works:
Stop seeking validation.
Set hard boundaries.
Focus on your future, not their approval.
3. Manipulation
Gaslighting.
Playing the victim.
Charming the judge.
Flipping the script.
✅ What Works:
Limit contact.
Keep it factual.
Don’t engage in drama.
Let your documentation speak for you.
4. Blame and Shame
He’ll blame you for his behavior.
He’ll tell the world you’re the one who’s unstable, irrational, or selfish.
✅ What Works:
Stay grounded.
Stay quiet.
Keep receipts.
And trust yourself.
5. Entitlement and Rage
He believes he’s owed more.
That the rules don’t apply to him.
And when he’s challenged, he explodes.
✅ What Works:
Protect your peace.
Involve professionals.
Let your lawyer take the heat.
