This one’s for anyone who's ever wondered what really goes down behind closed doors when a marriage ends, and what it takes to come out the other side.
In this episode, I’m joined by matrimonial attorney Amanda Shaked, who’s seen it all: the custody battles, the prenups, the “just take the vase” showdowns, and the couples who just won’t stop dragging each other to court. We talk about what a “good divorce” actually looks like, why infidelity is often just a symptom, and whether the courts really do favor women - plus all the legal layers, from prenups and parenting plans to custody chaos and courtroom drama.
Amanda also shares the biggest red flags to watch for while dating, why staying just for ease might be the worst reason of all, and the #1 thing you should ask yourself if you're navigating a breakup or messy separation.
This episode is real, insightful, and packed with advice you didn’t know you needed - whether you're single, married, or somewhere in between.
