Join the thousands that got their divorce the fair way.Our proprietary step-by-step divorce process, Independently Negotiated Resolution™ (INR), works. It offers the best family mediators to help drive important decisions and experienced divorce lawyers for independent legal advice. You can rest assured that your mediated separation agreements are comprehensive and protect you, so you can confidently move on with your life.
What makes the Fairway Model so successful?The Fairway Model takes the best from family lawyers and divorce mediation and delivers a process laying the foundation for a great life. The model ensures you are an empowered and informed decision-maker, so your decisions stand the test of time. You will be able to work through the process one-on-one with the mediator and, when appropriate, together. The key to our success is that both parties have equal input to achieve a truly fair outcome based on the law and expert financial input.
How much does a divorce lawyer cost vs family mediation?At Fairway Kelowna, we will explore your options during our free consultation and discuss the best next steps. By avoiding the traditional and outdated approach, where parties fight it out with lawyers, you will save thousands of dollars, and the outcome will be better. Choosing divorce mediation means less cost, less time, and a better outcome for all.
Is the Fairway Model like other BC mediators and arbitrators?The Fairway Model falls under the category of family mediation. It takes both parties through a proven process that brings resolution to all issues without needing a judge or arbitrator. Since 2006, over 5,600 couples have had success with the outcome of their divorce. Even when the issues are complex, financial, legal, and accounting professionals will assist in ensuring the best outcome. We have your back.
At Fairway Kelowna, we are committed to conflict resolution. What you need most when navigating a conflict is a solution, and the sooner, the better. Our job is to get you to the next phase of your life fast and without draining your finances to get there.
Fairway mediators are accredited experts in divorce, business and family negotiation and conflict resolution, and we live where we serve. We understand the unique needs and landscape of British Columbia, including current British Columbia mediation policy. All of Fairway’s final separation agreements and plans are based on the family laws of your jurisdiction, including the: Divorce Act, Federal Child Support Guidelines, and the Family Law Act. Our unique INR mediation method ensures you leave us with everything needed to close this chapter and begin your next adventure.
You’ll work with a dedicated mediator who will guide you through each step of our INR method, keeping negotiations on a timeline and your priorities at the centre of the process. When the process requires additional expertise, we’ll draw from our extended independent team of trusted professionals in real estate, finance, tax, business valuation, pension valuation, and the law. When necessary, mediators meet with parties separately. The final separation agreement will reflect everyone’s needs, preferences, vision for the future, and be based on the matrimonial and divorce laws. You’ll never have to wonder if you’ve missed a step or what’s needed from you because we’re with you every step of the way.

"Finances make a huge impact on the financial ability to divorce, but also affect what happens after divorce. How well men and women do after divorce has a direct correlation with how the financial settlement turns out. At Fairway Kelowna, we dedicate ourselves to the idea that both parties reach a mutually beneficial resolution through our process."
