Comforting support for women going through divorce — New Path Planning Mississippi

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."

No matter what stage of your divorce journey, New Path Planning has a solution for you

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" to get started. This will range from $750 to $1,200 depending on complexity and scope of your needs.

Flat-Fee Packages —
Starting at $750

We believe you should know what things cost before you commit. Most clients choose one of our three flat-fee tiers, so there are no billing surprises mid-case.

Additional Services — Hourly Rate Applied

As your case evolves, services can be added without a new agreement, billed at your established hourly rate. This includes post-divorce budgets, post-settlement updates, lifestyle analysis, and attorney consultations.

We do not want to add to your financial stress
Is a CDFA® Worth It?

Your attorney bills $250–$500 per hour. Every financial question you bring them is billed at that rate. We handle the financial analysis at a flat fee — with specialized expertise your attorney may not have.
