PROFESSIONALS:
Bring In College Financial Prep
College planning is rarely simple. But when two households are involved, it becomes one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged financial issues your clients will face.
Divorce agreements often don’t align with financial aid rules.
Remarriage changes outcomes.
Colleges evaluate households differently.
And one wrong assumption can cost families tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars.
You don’t need to become an expert in FAFSA strategy.
You just need the right specialist to bring in at the right time.
That’s where I come in.
When college planning questions arise, they often create:
Financial confusion
Increased co-parent conflict
Unrealistic college expectations
Anxiety about affordability
Pressure to “just figure it out later”
Without strategy, clients can:
Lose financial aid eligibility
Misinterpret which parent should file FAFSA
Overestimate or underestimate college costs
Make emotional decisions instead of financially sound ones
Professionals refer to College Financial Prep because it brings:
✔ Clarity to complex financial aid rules
✔ Neutral, structured strategy
✔ Reduced tension between co-parents
✔ A financially realistic college path
My role is to protect your client’s financial future — while strengthening the overall professional team around them. Not to replace your expertise!
If college planning is creating stress, confusion, or financial uncertainty — that is the moment to introduce College Financial Prep.
Early strategy prevents later conflict.
“Vicki is a wonderful resource. I’ve referred many of my divorcing clients to her, and she consistently creates strategic, money-saving plans. She’s also incredibly lovely to work with.”
"Wow, do I wish I'd have known Vicki when my kids were applying for college. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her services are designed to help you save money, find scholarships, help you with the application process and more! Vicki's the best!"
"Vicki, I'm hearing lots of praise for your services! I've been referring you and my client has been referring you to her patients and everyone has been very happy with your help!"
