Why families in Elmira are choosing mediation

Traditional divorce proceedings can drain both your finances and your emotional energy. With the average Canadian divorce costing over $51,000, many families are searching for a better way.

At Fairway Divorce Solutions, we offer a fixed-fee, step-by-step mediation process that supports respectful decision-making and avoids costly legal conflict. You stay in control—and we help you reach resolution faster and with less stress.

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 doesn't have to be a battle

We understand the fears that come with separation: protecting your finances, preserving your parenting rights, and maintaining stability for your kids. Our experienced mediators guide you through it all.

Most Elmira families complete the process in under 120 days of financial disclosure. We help you focus on solutions—not arguments—so you can move forward in peace.

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.

icon

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 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™

Instead of forcing confrontations, we work with each spouse individually. Our trademarked approach reduces tension, improves focus, and leads to stronger agreements that actually work long term for you and your kids.

The Fairway Method™

We help you reach a full separation agreement in 120 days from financial disclosure—no court dates, no hidden costs. Our structured, step-by-step method brings clarity to every stage of the divorce process.

This was the hardest thing I have gone through and I didn’t feel like I was doing it alone with the help of Sarah and everyone else at Fairway. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, understanding, relatable, empathetic and trustworthy. She tailored our agreement to meet our needs and the needs of our kids while keeping with family law. One million percent I would recommend them to anyone going through this. It will be okay.
