Divorce can devastate your finances.
Of course, in any fair settlement there are assets you will surrender to your spouse. That's unavoidable. But it's only a part of the problem.
The legal system is based on hourly billing. Lawyers do not get paid well to settle quickly. And it escalates the conflict. The more conflict, the more hours.
You have absolutely no control on these costs.
Lawyers could perhaps end up with a third of the pie.
Bad Business
It gets worse. If you have a business, the process is effectively designed to damage it.
Affidavits, subpoenas, cease and desist orders, forensic audits… A legal fight is a recipe for business disaster.
Remember, many matrimonial lawyers many not be trained in financial and business affairs. Your attorney is, however, trained to position bargain which results in fighting.
And you pay the price.
Introducing… Common Sense
In a traditional divorce, you don’t just fight over how the pie is sliced. You fight over how much the pie is worth. And you do both at the same time.
Battles over valuation can add months to the process, and thousands of dollars to the cost.
At Fairway, we apply a simple rule of common sense.
First negotiate the value of the assets. Then negotiate the division of the assets. It’s so obvious, we cannot understand why everyone doesn’t do it.
Yet it is so original, it will transform your experience of divorce. And dramatically reduce your cost.
You Keep Control
With the Fairway process, you are always in control of the costs because we charge a flat fee. That means we have no investment in dragging out the process, or increasing the conflict.
We help you protect your assets, so both you and your spouse have more to share.
