In this episode of Piece of Work, host Danielle Tantone sits down with Lisa Zeiderman to explore the complex, emotional, and often misunderstood world of marriage and divorce.

A highly respected matrimonial attorney, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and Certified Financial Litigator, Lisa brings decades of experience handling high-stakes divorce cases involving complex finances, custody disputes, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements. Recognized by organizations like Crain’s New York Business and consistently named a Super Lawyer, Lisa is also a thought leader in the space—writing for Psychology Today, contributing to major publications like The New York Times and Forbes, and serving as Board Chair of Savvy Ladies, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women achieve financial independence.

In this candid conversation, Danielle and Lisa go far beyond the legal process to unpack the real-life dynamics of relationships. They discuss why financial literacy is essential in marriage, how financial abuse can quietly take hold through control and lack of access, and why prenuptial agreements are becoming less about “planning for divorce” and more about creating transparency and alignment from the start.

Lisa also shares insight into the emotional realities of divorce—from co-parenting and loss of control to the long-term truth that, when children are involved, your relationship with your ex doesn’t simply end. Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal experience, she offers a grounded, compassionate perspective on what it means to navigate separation while still building a healthy future.

With her holistic approach—often collaborating with financial experts, mental health professionals, and other specialists—Lisa emphasizes that divorce is never just a legal event. It’s a life transition that impacts every layer of a person’s world.

This episode is honest, insightful, and deeply human—perfect for anyone navigating marriage, divorce, or simply wanting to build more informed, empowered relationships.
