Especially When Divorce Adds Complexity
Not sure where to start? .
No cost. Always confidential.
It’s about making smart financial and strategic decisions that impact your family for years to come.
I help parents reduce stress, avoid expensive missteps, and move forward with a clear college planning strategy.
You feel overwhelmed by college planning and financial aid.
You’re worried about overpaying or missing important opportunities.
Divorce, remarriage, or multiple households are making decisions more complicated.
You don’t know what you don’t know — and that feels stressful.
You want a clear path forward instead of piecing together information online.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
At College Financial Prep, we help families succeed in both College Admissions and Financial Aid.

Founder of College Financial Prep | Divorce & College Planning Specialist
Families come to me when they want more than general advice — they want expert leadership and a clear strategy.
With years of experience helping families navigate financial aid, scholarships, appeals, and complex co-parent dynamics, I help parents make confident decisions that reduce both financial and emotional stress.
This is not one-size-fits-all planning.
It’s personalized strategy designed around your family’s real situation.
A Clear, Step-by-Step Approach
We assess your situation, identify risks and opportunities, and create a clear direction tailored to your family.
Depending on your goals, we continue with full-service support, group programs, or focused guidance.
Access timelines, strategies, and educational resources designed to keep you moving forward confidently.
This is especially helpful if:
Your child is in grades 10–12 or already in college.
You want to reduce college costs strategically.
You want expert leadership rather than piecing information together yourself.
Divorce, remarriage, or co-parent dynamics are part of your situation.
You want help with either college admissions, saving money or both.
Here’s the first step I recommend for most families.

“We Saved Over $200,000 on Our Son’s College—Together.”
Janet and Mark were amicably divorced and both remarried when they came to College Financial Prep. Their shared goal? Give their son a top-tier education without sacrificing their financial stability.
By working collaboratively and strategically, we helped them build a smart college list, apply for merit aid, and target schools with generous financial packages. The result? Over $200,000 in savings at their son’s #1 private college.
Even in divorce, aligned planning can lead to major savings—and a debt-free future for your child.

College Financial Prep exceeded my expectations and was more than worth the investment. Vicki called my son's school with me, asked questions I wouldn't have thought of and protected me from potential financial liability I couldn't have foreseen. She helped make a complicated situation simpler. I slept better last night because of her.
