About Our Founder

Aliette Hernandez Carolan, Esq. is a first-generation Cuban-American raised in Miami, Florida, and a graduate of the University of Miami (B.S. in Communications and Criminology, 1999) and Nova Southeastern University – Shepard Broad College of Law (J.D., 2003). She was admitted to The Florida Bar in April 2004 (Bar No. 714291) and has spent over 22 years practicing exclusively in complex marital and family law.

After gaining experience at leading Miami family law firms, Aliette founded Carolan Family Law Firm, PA in Coral Gables in 2009. She is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator and has built her reputation on achieving amicable, efficient resolutions — believing that all parties benefit when matters are resolved before resorting to costly litigation.

Her practice covers the full spectrum of family law: divorce and separation, child custody and timesharing, prenuptial agreements, surrogacy, IVF/reproductive law, adoptions, and same-sex family law. She has advised fertility clinics on Florida law compliance and has been a passionate advocate for same-sex equality and reproductive rights throughout her career.

Recognized consistently by her peers, Aliette has been named a Super Lawyer by Super Lawyers Magazine (2015–2019), a Rising Star (2014), recognized by Best Lawyers in America / US News & World Report (2018), and honored among Best Law Firms (2020). She holds a 10.0 "Superb" rating on Avvo, a 4.8/5.0 peer review rating on Martindale, and serves on the Forbes Legal Advisory Board.

In 2017, Aliette published "Just In Case! Lose Your Heart, Not Your Mind: A Smart Woman's Guide to Marriage and Self-Sufficiency" (Bricktower Press), praised by New York Times bestselling author Dr. Shefali Tsabary.

After years on the front lines of family law, Aliette channeled her experience into building TheQuickDivorce.com™ — the only bilingual (English and Spanish) online divorce and separation platform of its kind in Florida. Built over five years with no outside investment, the platform guides couples who agree on their financial and children's matters through a clear, legally compliant, and compassionate process.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Aliette is a frequent media commentator on family law and a guest speaker at bar association and legal education events. She serves on the boards of Zoetic Stage, Beaux Arts/Lowe Art Museum, and supports Perez Art Museum Miami.
