Divorce can be a difficult experience

Divorce is one of the most challenging experiences anyone can go through, but you don't have to do it alone. We have helped more than 7,500 families through this life transition and emerge with a renewed sense of hope and purpose.

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 resolution for families in Banff

With a belief that rural communities deserve access to the type of top-notch services often reserved for city dwellers, Fairway Divorce Solutions offers remote mediation and divorce resolution options for families and individuals residing in and around Banff, Alberta.

The first municipality in Canada to be incorporated inside a national park, the beautiful and pristine Town of Banff has been known as a tourist mecca for more than a hundred years. However, its history goes back much further than that, and it is also a place where Canada’s first peoples lived and visited for more than 10,000 years. Banff is very family-friendly and its residents are an eclectic mix of all ages and backgrounds.

At Fairway, we provide mediation services that understand the unique character of Banff families, keeping your needs at the forefront.

Karen’s story

When it comes to divorce, there's the traditional way – and then there's a better way.

I'm Karen Stewart, and I learned this lesson the hard way.

Over twenty years ago, I unexpectedly faced divorce. Desperate for guidance, I sought the "best" lawyer my friends could recommend. Five gruelling years and over $500,000 in legal fees later, my ability to co-parent was shattered, and my finances were in ruins. The combative legal approach proved to be a costly mistake.

Determined to find a better solution, I founded Fairway Divorce Solutions® in 2006. Today, our team of more than 25 Divorce Resolution Mediators operates from over 11 locations, having successfully assisted 6,500 couples across Canada. Our process works, regardless of the relationship dynamics with your ex.

My mission is to change how divorce happens. I care deeply about you and your children. There is hope and a clear path forward, even in the toughest times.

Asset division
