What if divorce didn’t have to become a battle?

In this episode of In The Black, Aracelli sits down with North Carolina family law attorney Manisha P. Patel to talk about what she witnesses every day when people are at their most emotionally overwhelmed and how choosing dignity, mediation, and collaboration can change the outcome for entire families.

Drawing from years of experience in custody, separation, adoption, and advocacy for children involved with social services, Manisha shares why so many divorces become unnecessarily destructive and what a healthier path forward can look like.

Her upcoming book, End Your Marriage Peacefully, was inspired by seeing what truly helps families move from chaos to clarity.

This conversation is for anyone navigating relationship strain, separation, or wondering if there’s a better way to walk through one of life’s hardest transitions.
