Frequently asked questions

Your Divorce Resolution Expert will ask questions to understand your situation and provide legal information about how the divorce process works in Canada. They'll walk you through the Independently Negotiated Resolution™ process and answer anything you have about finances, child custody, parenting arrangements, spousal support, timelines, or the law. At the end, if Fairway is a good fit, you receive a complete fixed-fee quote. Nothing is decided and nothing is signed.

Yes, and it protects both of you. When both spouses hear the same information at the same time, no one starts with an advantage or a version of events the other hasn't heard. One partner can attend alone first if needed, and your expert can advise on the best next steps from there.

Nothing formal is required. Come ready to share a general overview of your situation, whether you have children, a rough sense of what you own and owe, and the questions that have been keeping you up at night. You don't need to bring any documents. 

Never. The initial consultation is purely informational. No one will ask you to sign anything, commit to anything, or make any decisions during the meeting. Fairway's experts are trained to inform and empower, not to sell. The decision to move forward is entirely yours, made in your own time.

Absolutely. Your Divorce Mediation Expert can provide clear legal information about how Canadian family law generally works, what to expect around property division, child support, spousal support, and custody, and how the Fairway process addresses your specific situation. However, they do not provide legal advice in the way a family lawyer would. That kind of independent legal advice comes later in the process.
