In every divorce case, understanding the psychological factors that are at play is an essential element in formulating strategy. When one of the parties has a personality disorder or other psychological disorder, the very process of handling the case will have to be altered, regardless of whether children are involved. The usual assumptions and logical analysis of any given situation may need to be adjusted. Where one of the parties is not capable of rational thought or behavior, simply presenting logical arguments can be a waste of the client’s time and money, and often increases frustration. Strategies should, therefore, always take into account the psychological barriers present in the parties involved.

In some cases, the children’s psychological needs may require particular consideration. This may change the overall approach to the case and/or dictate the inclusion of special provisions in parenting orders.
