Client Testimonials

Kirsty and Fairway Divorce was the perfect solution to our separation. We were supported and guided to a fair and comfortable result with kindness and compassion. Kirsty particularly went above and beyond all our expectations and even had us giggling and joking. It was potentially a very difficult situation that was made easy and made us both feel safe and protected. Thank you Kirsty for all of your help and guidance. We’ll miss chatting with you!

I highly recommend using Fairway Divorce Solutions. From beginning to end our experience was extremely positive. Initially, we met with the owner, Colette, who took the time to explain the process and to assess our needs. From that point on we dealt with the other staff, who were very helpful, and mainly with Kirsty, our Mediator. Kirsty has the perfect personality for dealing with people in a very trying situation. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient, and always had a smile on her face. Even if we started our meeting in a bad mood, Kirsty was always able to put things in perspective and helped us to understand that we would each eventually have control over our situation and that everything would be fine in the end. She was right. Many thanks to Kirsty for helping us through such a difficult life situation and giving us our confidence back.

My partner and I were looking for options to complete our separation and divorce with minimal costs and complications. The process seemed overwhelming and the lawyers we contacted were not willing to work with us together. We had both heard the ads for Fairway Divorce so we decided to explore this option and we are both glad that we did. Fairway supported our desire to work through our separation together – jointly. They explained the process clearly and were very thorough in the process. We both believe we saved money compared to what the process would have looked like going through lawyers. Our situation was simplistic as we are amicable and have no children but based on our experience we believe Fairway could offer even more value to folks in more complicated life situations. Would highly recommend Fairway to anyone going through a separation / divorce.

I just wanted to say thank you for your assistance today. I realize that you do not have to spend that much time with clients on a consult, and I really appreciate you answering all of our questions and making us both feel more at ease with this.

Mediation was the right choice for us. Kirsty was amazing and explaining everything to us in great detail. She made a very difficult time turn into a more confident situation. I feel much better leaving mediation now. Thanks again for everything Kirsty.

The Fairway process removed a lot of the conflict and bitterness from an otherwise very painful process. It helped to take a lot of the emotion out of an emotional time, to allow clear thought at a time where emotions can easily take control. The people at Fairway are very professional and knowledgeable in what they do. They have a vast pool of experience they pull from to help guide to a more peaceful and fair resolution.

Divorce is never pleasant… but it CAN be the start of a better, happier life. Fairway helps get you there in a civilized, straightforward, dignified way while protecting your children and your finances. My Fairway experience was wonderful. I will most definitely be singing this company’s praises for many, many years to come, and recommending them to anyone who finds themselves on this path. From the moment I first walked through their doors until the day I received my final documents, I felt I was in caring, competent hands. My amazing Fairway mediator prepared me for what would likely be happening over the following weeks, and then skilfully guided my ex and I through the mediation process until we reached a mutually-agreed-on settlement. To this day, I will forever be grateful to my Fairway mediator — I don’t know how he did it, but he made sense of the senseless, he calmed the chaos and was a beacon of hope lighting the way to a new beginning for all of us. It’s been a few years since my divorce and I can say with some certainty now that my children and I have not only survived, but thrived. We have managed to adapt and move forward, and although we live a simple life, it is a good life and our home is a place of safety, peace and happiness, as it should be. My heart is filled with gratitude for all Fairway has done for me and my family. If you find yourself at the end of your rope and divorce is your only option, I encourage you to call Fairway Divorce Solutions. There IS a better life out there — let Fairway help you find it.

I used Fairway Divorce Solutions. My mediator was Sarah Whyte. They do a very extensive process that covers everything. Sarah did a great job explaining everything in a clear manner which was very helpful. If this is a service that you need. I would recommend Fairway Divorce Solutions.

We found ourselves in a situation where we did not believe that we could go forward together in a positive manner for either of us. We are friends so we continue to wish the best for each other. We wanted to find help in the separation process from someone who would really listen to OUR wishes instead of someone who would potentially push either of us in a direction that we were not comfortable with. Kirsty was very thorough making sure that we both provided all of the financial information that would make the final outcome completely fair for both of us. That being said, she also listened to both of us and accommodated our wishes whether they were legally required or not. She made the legalities clear to both of us and we took all of the information she provided into consideration. The biggest thing for both of us was the fact that ultimately she respected our wishes and wanted to make sure we would be able to move forward in our individual futures feeling that we met the goals that we originally had set out to accomplish.

I truly believe that we are in a better place working with a mediator then we ever would have been working with separate lawyers. Cannot say enough positive things about the entire process. It was very fair. She listened to both sides of the situation and came up with a fair solution for everyone. Her focus always remained on the best way to keep the family as “whole” as it can be in this situation. The toughest part is always the financial discussions and it can be hard as most of the decisions that need to be made are out of everyone’s hands and are legally mandated. But she helped us through the process and gave us lots of insight into what we could and could not negotiate. Really was a calm guiding hand through the process.

The process was streamlined and the steps were well defined — I came into this very overwhelmed and having a structured process eased some of the anxiety and helped reign in any off-topic discussions. Colette was very professional, unbiased and created a safe environment for dialogue. She was very accommodating with the fact that all communication had to be done long distance and helped bridge the distance gap by providing continuous updates and responding to e-mails in a timely fashion.

The way they make you feel from start to finish was great. I felt very comfortable and relaxed each time I went in to talk. If you stay within the guidelines and both parties are civil the process works great and very smoothly. Bringing in the lawyer really helped on some of the questions in the back of my mind that I thought of but didn’t really know if it was worth bringing up. I can’t say more than a big thank you to the team at Fairway Divorce Waterloo.
