Kristen M. Roy, CFP®, CDFA®, APMA®

MEMBER, CONSULTANT

I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Practitioner and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® assisting with discovery and the financial settlement options during the divorce process.  I provide clarity and insight on how the settlement options will impact cash flow today, and into the later years of your clients’ retirement.  I work directly with you, the attorney, assisting with discovery and settlement negotiations from start to finish of the divorce. I can also provide consulting on one-off items such as Pension Valuation, expert witness testimony and many other consulting services. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoy working as a financial neutral in the collaborative divorce process and during mediation.

I have a personal financial planning and wealth management practice that I have been growing since early 2006. Throughout my career, I have helped many individuals, small business owners, professionals and families step out of their comfort zones and accomplish those goals they did not think were possible.  I enjoy helping my clients get comfortable with being uncomfortable when taking them to places they would not go on their own. 

Over the years, I began working more and more with divorced individuals; especially women.  As a primary advocate and partner to my clients I define reality, develop unique strategies, and provide a sense of control for making sound financial decisions. The creation of Simplified Divorce Solutions was to extend that impact to reach more divorcees early in the process.  Providing the initial direction on the settlement allows me to have a stronger positive impact on the financial future for the client. 

On a personal note, I have been happily married since 2007 and enjoy a wonderful balance with my husband.  After having our oldest child in 2012, we made the choice for my husband to take on the challenging, but rewarding, role of the stay at home parent.  I am so fortunate that he thoroughly enjoys his role within our family, is a huge supporter of my career and does an amazing job caring for our children.  We reside in the Ann Arbor area.  Aside from changing lives, I enjoy strengthening my health and fitness and embracing all the lessons I learn from my children.  I truly believe life is a gift not to be taken for granted and a heart full of gratitude is the pathway to success.
