A person with paranoid personality disorder displays a pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that they interpret others’ motives as malevolent. They are often unreasonably suspicious, preoccupied with others’ loyalty, mistrusting, unforgiving, or quick to anger.

Divorce is a difficult process, but is complicated and made more difficult when one of the spouses has paranoid personality disorder. A spouse with this disorder can make parenting even on simple issues challenging. It’s important to consider whether shared parenting or sole custody is appropriate in those circumstances. People with this disorder may also present real challenges when trying to resolve issues of property division and spousal support.
