Calgary, AB, June 5, 2006 – Fairway Divorce Solutions Ltd., a new paradigm in negotiating all issues related to divorce in Canada, opened its first office in Calgary on May 1, 2006. Fairway Divorce works for couples who don’t want the escalating legal costs and bully negotiation tactics that come from the traditional system of divorce. Rather, Fairway Divorce uses Divorce Planning Specialists to independently negotiate resolutions on all issues of divorce including finances, parental planning, child custody, child support, and spousal support, to achieve a win-win situation and to transition families to a new life. Fairway Divorce also utilizes lawyers when required in the divorce process and to legalize the divorce once a resolution is reached.

Prior to its launch, Fairway Divorce commissioned a survey to identify current perceptions individuals have when going through a divorce. Of the 98 respondents:

• 82% said they would be comfortable with a non-attorney guiding the entire resolution process;
• 72% said the present divorce process and system is more stressful than it needs to be;
• 90% said the divorce process seems to consume more money than expected;
• 80% said the value of assets in their divorce was a problem; and
• 78% said divorce attorneys do not have enough skills in finance to secure a fair financial division.

“Fairway Divorce is the clear road to a new life,” says Karen Miles, Founder, President and CEO of Fairway Divorce Solutions. “By using our extensive knowledge of finance and pairing it with our understanding of divorce, we are proud to offer the first real alternative to the traditional system of divorce. We promise to save our clients time and money and to protect their children from unnecessary conflict.”

Clients who use Fairway Divorce have better divorce results when compared to those who use the traditional system. These include:

• Reduced costs – Fairway Divorce provides one fixed price to complete the negotiated resolution;
• Reduced time – Fairway Divorce provides final resolution within 120 days;
• Reduced emotional pain and stress – Fairway Divorce provides a step-by-step resolution process to individuals and their children to reduce the escalating emotional stress that often results from divorce;
• Reduced deterioration of assets – Fairway Divorce empowers decision makers around the division of assets and asset valuation and, at the same time, ensures the assets stay with their clients;
• Fair resolution – While Fairway Divorce has a team of specialists, it provides one lead consultant to negotiate the entire divorce to ensure both parties negotiate from a level playing field.

Today, more than 46 per cent of Canadian marriages end in divorce. The average divorce proceeding usually lasts longer than one year and often costs thousands of dollars and a significant portion of the clients’ assets. This, in turn, creates the need for an alternative divorce solution – Fairway Divorce Solutions.  

Fairway Divorce Solutions will celebrate its grand opening on Tuesday, June 6th, 2006. To learn more about Fairway Divorce Solutions visit www.fairwaydivorce.com.
