Foundations Divorce Solutions

Navigating my divorce was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, but having Caroline as my financial consultant turned out to be the most valuable support I could have asked for. Caroline is not only extremely knowledgeable about finances but also has a unique skill for helping to build a strong, secure financial foundation for life post-divorce. Her insights proved just as valuable to me after the divorce as they were during it, ensuring that I was set up for success in the long run. Caroline’s guidance and advocacy went beyond what I ever expected; she provided strength and reassurance in ways that I wish my attorney could have. With her expertise, wisdom, and genuine compassion, she became my strongest advocate. I truly doubt I would be in the solid position I am today without her careful planning and support. She has that rare blend of warmth and strength, knowing exactly when to push and when to be patient. Caroline made all the difference, and I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone facing a divorce or major life transition.

After collecting over $15,000 in fees, our mediator Caroline Pak stopped working on our case. She made several empty promises about resuming work, but never did. Eventually she went completely dark, stopped responding to emails and phone calls, and never turned over any recent work. We ended up doing everything ourselves - writing the mediation agreement, creating the division of assets spreadsheet, and filing with the court. The business model is per hour, which does not incentivize reaching closure or delivering anything. My ex and I jointly terminated our contract with Caroline.

In my marriage of more than 40 years, I had not paid a bill or paid attention to our retirement savings plan. When my marriage dissolved, I felt lost when it came to understanding our finances and how to proceed. We worked with Caroline Pak of Foundations Divorce Solutions to develop a fair and equitable division of our assets. For me personally, Caroline developed, and helped me understand, both my current budget and the estimated budgets for my projected single life. I had a lot of new learning to do, and I now feel confident that I can continue my life as I had planned when I retired 8 years ago. I found Caroline to be professional, honest, and direct in meetings with my ex and me. When I met with her alone, there was an added warmth and friendliness in her coaching and gentle education. I found her to be the best advocate for my success and feelings of fiscal ease as a single person.

Caroline helped my ex and I come up with a solution that worked for both of us. We both came to the table with strong opinions about what we wanted from our settlement. Caroline helped us find pathway. I am very grateful for her support and services.

Caroline is a truly fair mediator that approached everything firmly and diplomatically. She always took the time to deeply understand both sides and provide guidance to a middle ground.

Making the decision to divorce, under any circumstance, is painful and life-altering. After 42 years of marriage, my husband and I agreed on little, but what we did agree on is we did not want our divorce to be litigious nor drain our limited financial resources. We also wanted our divorce to provide honorable closure for the life we once shared and not continue hurting each other in the process. Finding Caroline Pak and the entire team at Foundations Divorce Solutions was the perfect match for these needs, and beyond what we didn't even know we needed at the time. Foundations Divorce Solutions managed each step of our divorce with expertise, efficiency, wisdom and compassion. There were the inevitable bumps and pain in the journey, but Caroline guided us masterfully through the negotiations to keep our divorce goals in focus. On a personal level, Caroline shined her light into me at my darkest time. She gave me permission to grieve when others in my life advised me to "move on". During our sessions together, Caroline re-ignited the light in me I thought was forever dimmed. She gently and compassionately encouraged me to transform my anger and pain into HOPE. Caroline never wavered in her belief that this ending was the beginning of my creating a new bigger dream for myself and encouraged me to walk towards a life calling me to be my best self. Now, at 70 years of age, 6 months post-divorce, I am strong and living a beautiful life filled with HOPE. For this, I will be forever grateful for Caroline and Foundations Divorce Solutions.
