A word from our Calgary principal partner to Cochrane couples

"When the decision to divorce is the right option, it is comforting to know that there are supports available to ensure better outcomes for families. Fortunately, more affordable alternative dispute resolution services are on the rise. And driven by a passion to help, our mediators and financial divorce specialists are at the forefront of that movement to change the way divorce happens." — Christie Moser, Principal Partner

Karen’s story

Divorce doesn't have to be a battle; there is a better way.

Hello, I am Karen Stewart.

Two decades ago, I was blindsided by divorce. I turned to friends for advice and hired the "best" lawyer money could buy. Five years and over $500,000 in legal fees later, I was left with a broken co-parenting relationship and depleted finances. The traditional legal route had failed me miserably.

In 2006, I founded Fairway Divorce Solutions® to offer a better way. With over 25 Divorce Resolution Mediators in 11 locations, we have helped 6,500 couples across Canada find amicable resolutions. Our approach is effective, even if you don't trust or get along with your ex.

I am dedicated to transforming the divorce process because I care about you and your children. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we're here to help you find it.

Client testimonials

Success comes in many forms. For us, it is hearing back from our clients and reading how we have changed their lives for the better. These stories are the reason we do what we do.

When the decision became clear that divorce was the best option for my (now ex) husband and I, we envisioned months of lawyers negotiating back and forth and massive costs as time wore on. I contacted Fairway as the first step; the reasonable timeline and much lower cost stood out right away.
