Leading Alternative Divorce Franchise Opens in Kelowna

Franchisee ready to start helping Kelowna residents through divorce

Calgary, AB, August 6, 2009- Fairway Divorce Solutions, Ltd. (‘Fairway’), a leading alternative divorce solutions firm, today announced the opening of its ninth franchise in Kelowna, British Columbia.

Fairway offers a first-of-its-kind alternative to the traditional system of divorce by using a new divorce paradigm. The Fairway Process™ uses a common sense, step-by-step proven approach that saves people money, time, and stress, while protecting the children.

“It’s exciting to see the doors open up in our second office in British Columbia,” said Karen Stewart, President and CEO, Fairway Divorce Solutions®. “The typical divorce process is extremely stressful, can last several months and up to several years. It is always tough on all parties involved. I know that the residents of Kelowna will be appreciative of a process that aims to offset these characteristics.”

The new franchisee, Wes Stevenson, has an undergraduate degree in psychology, a Masters degree in Public Administration, is a former university vice-president, basketball coach, and has the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst designation.

“Opening this franchise means a great deal to me, and I hope that it will to others as well,” said Stevenson. “I welcome the opportunity to offer the people of Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley a proven alternative to the traditional divorce system and an environment where individuals can trust that they will be provided with the most fair and equal services.”

Fairway Divorce Solutions first opened its doors in Calgary in 2006, and Stewart along with several franchisees have worked hard to provide individuals across Canada and the U.S. with an alternative to the traditional divorce system ever since.

Fairway’s success is attributed to its fixed-fee, step-by-step negotiated resolution process founded on cooperation. Professional negotiators lead divorcing couples through a well-defined process to achieve a fair and mutually acceptable division of financial assets as well as child custody and visitation. Fairway clients work with their trained negotiator as a team to achieve a mutually agreeable resolution in the least amount of time possible.
