Fairway Divorce Solutions - Kitchener/Waterloo

Working with Colette streamlined the separation process and allowed us to work together collaboratively, making decisions for the best possible outcome for our family going forward. Colette's straightforward approach and positive attitude made an inherently stressful situation as simple as it could have been. I was incredibly impressed with how efficiently Fairway Divorce Solutions was able to create a Resolution Plan, as we used their fast track method to ensure the financial matters could be handled as quickly as possible. With having all the financial details ready for the initial meeting and Colette mediating the family plan details we were able to have a draft of the Resolution Plan within a month of the initial meeting, and with the helpful recommendation for Lawyers who have worked with Fairway Divorce Solutions often, the separation agreement was finalized in less than a month. Colette is the first person I would contact should I have a family dispute in the future and would highly recommend Fairway Divorce Solutions. I truly can't thank Colette and Sarah enough for all their fantastic work.

Separation from a partner where kids are involved is truly a difficult and painful process, particularly when the two parties are at different points of acceptance and/or the path forward.Julie put in a lot of effort with my ex and I over many months to get us to a mutually agreeable resolution. In my case, I appreciated the empathy, patience, and humanity that Julie showed through the process as I struggled with a lot of it. I was certainly way outside my comfort zone and at a low point emotionally with these proceedings. However, I'm fully aware that the separation experience could have been far nastier and more challenging, so I'm thankful for Julie's assistance in steering us through the difficulties of this process.While I don't wish separation on anyone, if it is a reality for you I would definitely recommend connecting with Julie to at least help guide you through it and to improve your chances of having an amicable relationship with your ex coming out the other side.

If you are looking for someone to help you through your separation that is kind, caring and compassionate then I highly recommend Fairway Divorce. Colette and Sarah helped us navigate through the separation process in timely manageable steps, during a pandemic of all times. Colette was thorough and non-partial ensuring we both knew exactly what we were agreeing to and ensured we had a child care plan that would work best for our kids. Thanks so much Colette and Sarah and the other team members.

Colette and her team were such a life saver in my separation! I felt so lost when my ex and I started the separation process and had so many different people giving us different pieces of advice, but had no idea where to start. Then a friend recommended Fairway Divorce Solutions to us, we met with Colette, and things really started moving! Colette stayed neutral through the entire process and her experience as well as examples of what others had done in the past were immensely helpful. There were times during which there was high level of conflict in the separation, but Colette remained calm and helped to diffuse the conflict each time. I loved that the Fairway Divorce Solutions process also required my ex and I to attend a seminar on Family Law as it pertains to separation and divorce, because this not only gave us the information we needed and helped us to understand what to expect throughout the process, but also helped to eliminate potential sticking points as we went through the process.I highly recommend Fairway Divorce Solutions and am very grateful to them for guiding my ex and I through our separation.

Julie and her team helped myself and my wife through an extremely difficult time as we were going through our separation. They stayed neutral and professional throughout the entire mediation process, while also showing compassion and understanding throughout the 3 1/2 months that we worked with them.Julie and her team were very flexible with scheduling meetings, and worked diligently to get everything finalized ahead of the closing of the sale of our house. Their fee was very fair and was far less than we would have spent if we had gotten lawyers involved.While drafting the separation agreement felt like a bit of a tedious process at times, it led to a lot of very productive discussions between myself and my ex, and got us off on the right foot as we went our separate ways and began the journey of living apart and co-parenting our 2 children.After 8 months of living apart and co-parenting our children, my ex and I have maintained a great relationship, and have followed a lot of the guiding principles and advice that we received from Fairway during the mediation process.I honestly don't think that we would be in this position without the help and services from Fairway Divorce to help us navigate through our separation.I don't wish divorce on anyone, but if there was anyone that I knew that was separating from their spouse, I would immediately recommend Fairway Divorce Solutions as a service to help make the exercise as painless and productive as possible.

I like the way there doing it it helped a lot how the teach you about separation and how to handle dealing with the kids after separation and it helped me a lot after a year failing for divorce

It's taken me a year to write this review as I needed to put some distance between myself and the separation process as a whole.That said, I can't thank Fairway enough for their expertise, support and guidance along the way. My ex and I had every intention of remaining friendly to facilitate effective ongoing co-parenting. While the two of us are ultimately responsible for working together to make that happen, both Sarah and Colette were instrumental in setting us on that path.The Fairway process is compassionate and well thought out, giving couples what they need to navigate their own unique separation circumstances in logical, manageable pieces. Not once did I ever feel as though we were being led toward a resolution on any point that left either one of us dissatisfied and would result in further conflict (as you often hear about happening, when lawyers are involved); in fact, we were in the driver's seat the entire time, with Fairway there to support and guide us, advising us on the finer points of separation agreements/divorce law.Today, my ex and I have a constructive and pleasant relationship as co-parents and our kids have adjusted well to our new way of life. Without a doubt, Fairway has played an important role in all of this.

I recently helped a friend navigate a divorce that was settled by Fairway Divorce Solutions & I have never been more impressed with a service. The staff are professional, compassionate, patient & understanding. Divorce is never easy...however...Fairway uses mediation to transform a process typically filled with animosity & conflict into a process of mutual respect & understanding...ensuring that separations are completed with the lowest cost (financially & emotionally) to the family. The owner has the patience of a saint...and it is obvious that her primary concern is always the well being of the people she is helping...not her own bottom line. In an industry where lawyers make a living stoking the fire (an amicable divorce is not a profitable divorce for a lawyer)...Fairway offers a path to resolution that allows a marriage to end while leaving the family harmony & finances in tact.

I cannot thank Colette and Fairway team enough for the help and support they offered during this regrettable life transition. They made an extremely difficult situation so much more bearable. I can honestly say I would have been lost both in life and the legalities without their help during this time.Enough cannot be said about their honest, compassionate and straight forward approach to marital separation, the focus on the children involved, and the value of communication. The end result of the service was WELL worth the money spent.I'd never wish it upon anyone to need to go through this process, but the reality of it is, if you are reading this, Fairway Divorce Solutions would be the only path I would recommend.

With the help of Colette my separation became a lot less painful than it could have been. Her unwavering focus on fairness, and the best interest of the children, kept the light at the end of the tunnel visible. Her calm and professional approach reduced anxiety to a minimum during what would have been one of the most stressful times in my life. Through her experience negotiating the legal aspects of separation it saved a lot of time and money writing a legally binding agreement that was acceptable to the lawyers at the end of the process.Thank you so much
