He used to control me emotionally. Now he uses the legal system.

“Everyone talks about narcissists until they’re filing motions against one.”

When I left my ex, people said I was brave. They didn’t see the custody battle coming. Neither did I.

He was charming in public, but behind closed doors, everything was a power play. I thought once we separated, I’d finally get space. But the real manipulation started when the filings did.

Emergency motions. Requests for full custody. Accusations of instability. All timed perfectly—before holidays, work presentations, or my daughter’s birthday.

It wasn’t about our daughter. It was about control. And I had no system to fight it. Just emails, screenshots, and panic.

A friend from a domestic violence support group told me about Splitifi. Not as a lawyer replacement—but as a way to stay ahead of the chaos.

Within days I’d built a custody calendar, tracked his filing patterns, and rerouted all co-parent communication through one inbox with tone review.

Splitifi didn’t solve the abuse. But it removed his favorite weapon—surprise.

Now every claim has a timeline. Every threat has a record. And I don’t cry every time I open my inbox.

I’m not afraid anymore. I’m prepared.
