Don’t sign off on your parenting plan until you have listened to this episode!  There may be loopholes that a narcissistic ex-partner will exploit for years to come.

Divorcing an abusive ex-partner leads to further abuse, called post-separation abuse, especially if you share children with them.  The way our family court system is set up allows abuse to continue and at times actually seems to support the abuse.  

So, it is imperative that you know what loopholes to look out for as you create a parenting plan as a part of the separation and divorce process, to prevent as much of the post-separation abuse as possible and to protect your children.  

In this episode, Jan and Jillian Yuhas, MA, MFT, CPC and I discuss some of the most common loopholes that are exploited by a narcissistic ex-partner and some ways that you can mitigate these loopholes ahead of time.  

We explore the most common loopholes regarding:

• Travel and vacation time
• Substance Use and Mental Health Concerns of a parent
• Inability to Parent
• Breach of Contract
• Parentification (basing decisions like when they can be left home alone on child development)
• Introduction of New Romantic Partners and their role in the child’s life
• Make-up time for visits
• First Right of Refusal
