Divorce Without Drama: Money, Motherhood & Moving Forward with Family Law Attorney Aliette H. Carolan

Paulina Roe Season 3 Episode 9

Paulina sits down with family law attorney and single mom Aliette Hernandez Carolan to talk about what divorce really looks like-money, motherhood, and finding your footing again.

They unpack the before, during, and after: getting clear on your finances, protecting your peace, and making decisions from a grounded place, not a chaotic one.

Aliette shares the truth about control, co-parenting, and what it actually means to build a new life without losing yourself in the process.

In This Episode:

  • Know what your life really costs
  • Access to cash ≠ financial control
  • “Shared responsibility” doesn’t mean shared peace
  • Don’t make moves from survival mode
  • Kids need two happy parents, not one burned-out one
  • Start with education, not court

Because starting over isn’t failure-it’s power.
