Lauren Manzo Finalizes Divorce from Vito Scalia After Eight Years

Lauren Manzo has finalized her divorce from Vito Scalia after eight years of marriage, with proceedings initiated by Vito in September 2023 due to irreconcilable differences. The court approved their settlement in November 2024, granting them joint legal custody of their seven-year-old daughter, Marchesa, who will primarily reside with Lauren. Both parents committed to co-parenting effectively, agreeing to consult a therapist to help explain the divorce to their daughter and to avoid negative discussions about each other in her presence. Financial arrangements include Vito paying $1,000 monthly in child support and $4,000 in alimony for 27 months, while Lauren retains ownership of their marital home. The couple established guidelines for their daughter's well-being, ensuring a supportive emotional environment and the need for mutual consent regarding her appearances on television. The exchange of Marchesa will occur at Lauren's mother, Caroline Manzo's, home to maintain family involvement.
