Elise Iafrate brings the perspective of a licensed attorney who intentionally chose a different role in divorce. She speaks plainly about the issues women actually wrestle with: high-conflict communication, financially complex decisions, working effectively with attorneys, and the gap between the legal case and everything the client still has to manage herself.
Led by Elise Iafrate, JD/MBA — a licensed attorney who stepped away from practicing law to help women navigate the strategy behind the process.
Divorce content can become sensational very quickly. Elise takes a different approach. She can talk about narcissistic and high-conflict behavior without turning the conversation into amateur diagnosis. She can explain the legal process without pretending to give an audience legal advice. And she can make complicated financial and strategic issues understandable without reducing them to generic tips.
The goal is a conversation people can actually use after the episode, interview, or event ends.
Topics can be tailored to the audience, but three areas sit at the center of Elise’s work:
High-Conflict Divorce
Talk about difficult behavior through observable patterns, useful documentation, boundaries, and deliberate communication instead of labels and battle language.
Financial Complexity
Explore what happens when significant assets, businesses, advisors, privacy concerns, and financial decisions make divorce harder to navigate.
The Strategy Gap
Explain why hiring a strong attorney does not automatically solve every communication, preparation, organization, or decision-making problem a client encounters.
Elise is available for thoughtful podcasts, interviews, panels, speaking engagements, and educational conversations where her legal background and strategic perspective can add something useful to the discussion.

SWANS began as Supporting Women Against Narcissistic Spouses. Today, that mission lives inside Divorce Strategy by Elise. The work is designed to help women navigate control, manipulation, escalation, and other high-conflict dynamics with more clarity and structure.
The strategy does not depend on diagnosing a spouse. It focuses on observable conduct, useful documentation, professional preparation, and deliberate decisions.
Elise Iafrate, JD/MBA, is a licensed attorney who intentionally stepped away from legal practice to work more directly with women navigating divorce.
She understands the legal process, but she also knows how much still falls on the client: preparation, communication, financial questions, professional coordination, and the decisions that happen outside a lawyer’s role.
Today, Elise helps women bring structure to those parts of the process, prepare for the right professional conversations, and stay focused on what matters next.
