After going through her own divorce & struggling to find support groups - Paula took the bull by the horns and launched, Divorced In Utah. In her own words: "After 15 years of being a stay-at-home mother of 4, my life was suddenly turned upside-down when my husband left me and moved out of state.  How was I going to have a job and take care of the kids? My dream is to have an organization where divorcees help other divorcees with no strings attached.  The first year is the hardest and who better to guide you through it then someone who was just there.  And so, that is the story of how Divorced in Utah came to be."
