When every conversation turns into conflict

If discussions keep circling the same issues—money, the home, schedules with the kids—it’s easy to feel stuck. Mediation creates a safer structure for decision-making, with clear steps and support so you can stop re-litigating the past and start building workable terms for the future.

What separation can look like in Maple Ridge

Life in Maple Ridge often means balancing work, school routines, and time outdoors—whether that’s weekends at Golden Ears Provincial Park, a walk along the Fraser River, or family time near Alouette Lake. A good separation plan respects those real-life rhythms.

Parenting plans that fit Ridge Meadows realities

We help you build a parenting schedule and decision-making plan that supports stability for your children, including holidays, travel, extracurriculars, and communication guidelines. The goal is a plan you can actually follow—now and as your kids grow.

Property and support decisions without the guesswork

From the family home to pensions, businesses, and shared debts, financial decisions can feel overwhelming. With structured financial disclosure and guidance, you can work toward a fair division of assets, and set child and spousal support in a way that is clear, documented, and sustainable.

A separation agreement you can rely on

Once terms are negotiated, we help you turn them into a comprehensive separation agreement that reflects your decisions and reduces future uncertainty. When questions come up later—like recalculating support—having a solid agreement makes updates far simpler.

The four cornerstones of a fair divorce

Our approach is designed around what most separating couples want most: less time, less cost, less stress, and better outcomes for children. With a guided process and specialists in legal, financial, and parenting matters, you can move from uncertainty to signed agreements with a clear plan and predictable next steps.

Reduce time

Separate in months, not years
You will reach a resolution within 120 days after financial disclosure is in place. If you each hire your own lawyers within the traditional legal system, then you have no control over time, and the divorce will drag on for years.

Reduce cost

Avoid shocking legal bills
We have a fixed fee that doesn’t change, so you know exactly what you are paying to go through the process of your divorce and reach a fair conclusion. Unlike lawyers and most mediators, we don’t work on an hourly basis.

Reduce stress

Independently negotiate a resolution
You will both move through the decision-making process separately. With our Independently Negotiated Resolution™ process, we reduce stressful interactions and avoid the power struggles that often interfere with making good decisions.

Protect the kids

Children should not be the victims
The Fairway Nurtured Children Plan™ ensures the best possible outcome for your children. We guide you through your divorce in a thoughtful, fair-minded way and make sure your children can thrive.

Independently Negotiated Resolution™

Our signature approach works by helping each person make progress independently. This method supports thoughtful decisions and less emotional strain throughout the process.

A structured process from first call to signed agreement

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. We guide you through a step-by-step pathway: intake and goal-setting, full financial disclosure, parenting and support discussions, negotiation, and drafting the agreement. Each step is designed to keep progress moving and to keep challenges manageable.

Define the best outcome

The Clear Road to a New Life®

After you have both committed to a negotiated divorce resolution you meet one-on-one with your divorce mediator.
