The financial decisions made during divorce will follow you for the rest of your life. I founded New Path Planning to make sure women don't have to face those decisions alone.

I'm Kristi Tidwell — a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and one of the first Tax Planning Certified Professionals™ in the country. I bring both the credentials and the empathy to help clients navigate divorce with clarity and confidence.

My understanding of this process goes beyond the professional. I've lived through divorce myself, raised children on my own, and had to figure out what my financial future looked like on the other side. That experience shapes everything about how I work with clients.

Before founding New Path Planning, I spent over a decade as a director of financial planning for boutique wealth management firms, building strategic financial plans for clients navigating life's biggest transitions.

Today I help clients at every stage of the divorce process — whether you're just beginning to consider your options, in the middle of negotiations, or adjusting to life after a settlement. I help you understand your assets, evaluate your options, and walk into every conversation with your attorney prepared and confident. Your attorney is there to guide the legal process — but they need you to know what you need financially. That's where I come in. And sometimes, it just helps to see the numbers in black and white.

Because tax strategy is built into everything I do, you're not just protecting your assets — you're keeping more of them.

We offer a complimentary initial consultation where we will discuss the best way I can be of service. Visit www.newpathplanning.com for more information or to schedule.
