Divorce mediation in Canmore

Are you seeking a fair divorce in Canmore, Alberta? Since 2006 we have helped Canadians get an amicable separation within 120 days of negotiation without the need for a divorce lawyer.

The traditional divorce system is broken

The average cost of divorce in Canada has soared to over $51,000. At Fairway, we provide a smarter alternative. Our divorce mediation services offer a more affordable and fair process, focusing on protecting your family and assets without the high costs of traditional divorce.

 

Getting a divorce through the traditional system takes an average of 3 years in Canada. If you need courtroom litigation, this can be much longer.

Divorce mediation with a focus on what matters to you

Thousands of Canadians have trusted Fairway Divorce Solutions and reached a fair settlement. You can feel confident that you will get a separation agreement with the best possible outcome for yourself and your children. 

Our method works because we focus on what matters to you:

icon

Reduce time

Separate in months, not years
You will reach a resolution within 120 days after financial disclosure is in place. If you each hire your own lawyers within the traditional legal system, then you have no control over time, and the divorce will drag on for years.

icon

Reduce cost

Avoid shocking legal bills
We have a fixed fee that doesn’t change, so you know exactly what you are paying to go through the process of your divorce and reach a fair conclusion. Unlike lawyers and most mediators, we don’t work on an hourly basis.

icon

Reduce stress

Independently negotiate a resolution
You will both move through the decision-making process separately. With our Independently Negotiated Resolution™ process, we reduce stressful interactions and avoid the power struggles that often interfere with making good decisions.

icon

Protect the kids

Children should not be the victims
The Fairway Nurtured Children Plan™ ensures the best possible outcome for your children. We guide you through your divorce in a thoughtful, fair-minded way and make sure your children can thrive. 

Karen’s story

When it comes to divorce, there's the old way - and there's a better way. I know because I learned the hard way.

Hello, my name is Karen Stewart.

More than two decades ago I found myself unexpectedly on the doorstep of divorce. Not knowing where to turn I asked my friends for a referral for “the best” lawyer money could buy. After five long years and over $500,000 in legal bills for myself alone, our ability to co-parent was destroyed, along with our net worth. I found out the hard way that hiring a lawyer and “fighting it out” simply makes no sense at all.

I set out to create a better way to resolve a separation, and in 2006 I founded Fairway Divorce Solutions®. Our team of more than 25 Divorce Resolution Mediators now operates from over 11 locations. After working with 6,500 couples across Canada, we know we have a process that works, regardless of whether you trust or get along with your ex.

I have dedicated my life’s work to changing how divorce happens because I care. I care about you and your children. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel when you find yourself in a situation where you and your partner need to separate.
