Karen Stewart

President, CEO

Karen Stewart (formally Miles), BSc., M.B.A., RHU, CDFA, R.F.M., of Fairway Divorce Solutions is an entrepreneur, divorce guru and proud single mother of three.

While undergoing a nasty divorce during the early part of the decade, Karen experienced first hand the emotional and financial fallouts of today’s divorce system.  The process cost her half a million dollars and left her believing there had to be a better way.  Karen began formulating what a new divorce paradigm might look like and as a result Fairway Divorce Solutions was born and “Clean Break” was written.

Using her considerable experience as a Financial Planner, Stock Broker, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and business woman, Karen launched Fairway Divorce Solutions to the public in 2006.  As an innovator striving to change the way divorce happens, Karen developed Fairway Divorce Solutions by shifting the paradigm of the current divorce system and therefore reducing the cost, time, emotional stress, and ultimately saving the children.

Entrepreneurship is not new to Karen. She has an extensive and successful history starting businesses in the financial world; some of which she has gone on to sell.  Balanced Planning Alberta, a mutual fund dealership, which she sold in 2000, catered to well over 100 licensed representatives.  Exclusive Capital, which raises capital in the alternative products market, was co-founded by Karen in 2004. Milestone Asset Management, Karen’s primary business for the last 15 years, is a boutique full-service financial advisory and stock broking firm that specializes in objective and strategic wealth management advice.  Karen co-founded Milestone in the early 1990’s and has guided the company through significant growth from the MFDA platform to an IDA platform.

With Fairway Divorce Solutions, Karen recently completed her first breakthrough novel “Clean Break”: How to End Your Marriage and Move On With Your Life; a self-help book that highlights a clear alternative to the traditional system of divorce.  Being hailed as a long awaited guide for divorcing couples by industry professionals and lawyers alike, “Clean Break” tells the story of Karen’s divorce as a cautionary tale and illuminates the possibilities for a happy ending when a reliable, strategic and balanced approach to divorce is used.

Today, Karen runs Fairway Divorce Solutions and spends time with her growing family.  She is a regular guest on the Big Brain Radio Show out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and has been interviewed by notable media outlets across the country.  Such media interviews include Readers Digest, CTV Television, Global Television, Alberta Venture Magazine and CBC Radio.
