PLANNING SERVICES

Let us help take the emotions out of the process by showing you in black and white how what you decide today could impact your financial future.

FOUNDER PERSPECTIVE

"After going through my own unexpected divorce, I realized the struggle facing couples as they separate. You are full of shock, sadness, fear and not in the best frame of mind to be making future altering decisions. Despite my years as a financial planner, during that period I needed unbiased input and support from outside sources.

​

Often times there is a spouse that was considerably more involved in a couple's finances. My mission at New Path Planning is to empower and educate those who were adding to the family in other ways."

How We Charge

Commitment Fee

We understand that if you haven't already, you will be paying an attorney a considerable retainer fee. We do not want to add to your financial stress and therefore charge a minimal "commitment fee" upfront. This will range from $200 to $1,200 depending on complexity and scope of your needs.

Hourly Rate Applied

As work is performed, an hourly rate of $100 will be applied to that fee.

Ongoing Transparency

To help eliminate surprises, you will receive a periodic statement with the breakdown of where you stand fee wise.

Flexible Timing

Many times it may be a few months in before you even have the full financials available for me to assess. This allows you to postpone further potential payments until the work is actually done.
