About

Amy Colton is a Wealth Advisor with Forefront Wealth Partners and Divorce Consultant with Your Divorce Made Simple. She comes to the financial planning industry after a successful career of more than 40 years in sales, management and business development in the technology and pharmaceutical industries. During that time, she spent more than 20 years at International Business Machines (IBM) as an executive in sales and management.


In 2011 Amy Colton joined New York Life as a Financial Services Professional and then in 2013 she joined Forefront Wealth Partners as a Wealth Advisor. In 2020 she co-founded Your Divorce Made Simple which seeks to protect assets and negotiate equitable distribution settlements between spouses during divorce.


Amy is committed to her personal mission of helping to empower women to take control of their own finances and general wellbeing. She said, “Through mentoring, sharing personal experiences, and providing sound advice, I want to encourage women to get their financial house in order and to make decisions from a place of strength not fear. I want them to move forward with confidence and optimism, while encouraging them to choose their destinies and not be a victim of circumstances.”


She said that life’s biggest transitions are the death of a loved one, retirement, and divorce. When an acquaintance, a family law attorney, grew tired of the emotional stresses of working with couples breaking up, the attorney began to send her clients to Colton in order to work out the details relating to the distribution of assets, and child support in some cases, and the lawyer would then file necessary papers with the courts. That led Colton to start Your Divorce Made Simple. But she didn’t see herself just sitting in as a financial advisor. She believed that she could serve her clients more efficiently and fairly if she was better equipped in other ways, and so she became certified as a divorce financial analyst (CDFA®) and a family law mediator. Now she guides individuals and/or couples through the divorce process, including tax and financial planning, which are critical long after divorce.
