FAQs: Process commitment
The Fairway Engagement™ covers the complete INR™ mediation service: all individual and joint sessions from the Optimum Outcome Conversation™ through to the Negotiated Resolution Plan™, including financial disclosure documents, the What is the Law™ Seminar, asset division, support negotiations including child support, and the Nurtured Children Plan™ where applicable.. All mediator's fees for the full process are covered by the flat fee agreed at the outset and Fairway will facilitate the drafting of the separation agreement.
No. The first installment is paid by both parties at the time of signing the mediation agreement and is part of your total fixed fee. It confirms mutual commitment to the mediation process while initiating meaningful progress from the very start. Even at this initial stage, both parties gain clarity, direction, and actionable insights that form the foundation for the remainder of the process. Your Divorce Resolution Expert can explain how the remaining fees are scheduled as your case progresses.
You are committing to engage in Fairway's structured INR™ mediation process in good faith: to attend sessions, provide full and relevant financial information, and work toward a resolution. You are not committing to any particular outcome on any disputed issues. Every decision remains yours to make, with your mediator providing information and guidance, and a neutral space for both parties to reach agreement.
Mediation is a voluntary alternative dispute resolution process, and either party can choose to withdraw at any time. Confidentiality is maintained throughout. What is discussed in mediation sessions remains private, and a without-prejudice basis protects both parties during negotiations. If one party withdraws, the mediation process concludes. Fairway Divorce Solution handles those situations with discretion and will advise on options, including whether partial settlement on resolved issues can be documented.
If something significant changes then your mediator will assess whether the case remains suitable for mediation and guide you on options. Examples could be a new dispute arises, a safety concern emerges, or there is a material change in circumstances. Fairway Divorce Solutions® will always be transparent about what is and isn't workable within the mediation service.
The flat fee is agreed to at the initial consultation based on the complexity of your situation as understood at that point. In rare cases where significant undisclosed complexity emerges, then your mediator will discuss any adjustment to the fees openly before proceeding. However, there are no changes without your knowledge and agreement.
