Episode 306 features Aliette H. Carolan, Esq. of The Quick Divorce, Inc.©. We're talking about how to survive divorce! Listen now!

Aliette H. Carolan, Esq. has been practicing exclusively in the area of Marital & Family Law since 2004.

She recognized that not everyone she wanted to help could afford her services through her traditional law firm model so she created The Quick Divorce, Inc.© to bring her high-end legal services to the public with a quick, efficient and very affordable solution.

Aliette cultivated a reputation for being honest, collaborative and aggressive - but only when necessary.

Despite never being one to shy away from a justified battle, avoiding unnecessary chaos and conflict in her cases became her creed and the secret to her success.

In 2016, she divorced the father of her two children, David, after 12 years together. Together they coparent and navigate the demands of raising daughters in this digital age where technology is both friend and foe. Thanks to their amicable separation, Aliette and David are not just co-parents, they are friends.

In short, her work is personal. When she advises her clients, she harnesses her years as a practitioner as well as her personal experience.

Her conclusion is that there is a better way than the conflict driven, traditional method. Resolving financial, divorce and parenting issues amicably is not only possible it should be the only way.

Her Amazon Best Selling book Just in Case! Lose Your Heart, Not Your Mind - a smart woman's guide to marriage and self-sufficiency was published in New York in 2017. It is slated to be translated and published in Spanish in 2024.
