Handling Family Law Cases Involving Antisocial High Conflict People

Course Description

Sociopaths have a drive to dominate others, disregard the law, lack remorse and are skilled at lying and conning. They fool professionals on a regular basis, including in family law cases, which requires professionals to learn how to identify, understand and manage them.

The first half of this course provides a basic understanding of the dynamics of sociopaths (aka: antisocial personality disorder), why people fall in love with them, why professionals are easily conned by them, their frequent abusive behavior, and the types of false allegations they frequently make against clients and professionals.

The second half addresses managing clients with antisocial traits, dealing with sociopaths as the opposing party, investigating the case, presenting such a case in family court, negotiation and mediation, and protecting yourself when necessary. Case examples are given of dealing with sociopaths in and out of court.
