A smarter alternative to the courtroom

When separation is on the table, it’s easy to feel pulled toward “lawyer up” thinking—especially if emotions are running high. But traditional litigation can be slow, expensive, and exhausting, and it often makes co-parenting harder—not easier.

Fairway Divorce Solutions offers a structured divorce mediation process that helps Surrey couples resolve the real-life decisions of separation: property division, support, and parenting arrangements. You’ll get a clear roadmap, steady guidance, and a durable agreement—without the drawn-out conflict.

 

Getting a divorce through the traditional system takes an average of 3 years in Canada. If you need courtroom litigation, this can be much longer

Get unstuck and move forward with confidence

If you’re stuck in the same circular conversations—or you’re avoiding them altogether—you’re not alone. Many couples in Surrey tell us they want to be fair, but they don’t know where to start, what’s “normal,” or how to talk about money and parenting without things escalating.

Our team helps you work through the hard parts in a calmer way. With legal-process guidance, financial expertise, and parenting-focused support, we help you make decisions you can both live with, so you can stop negotiating in the hallway and start rebuilding your life.

Separation support for Surrey families

Surrey is a city of many communities—whether you’re near Surrey Central, Guildford, Newton, South Surrey, or Cloverdale. From walks at Holland Park to weekends at Crescent Beach, life here is busy, connected, and family-focused.

That’s why our approach is designed to reduce stress and keep things moving. Meetings can be done virtually, and the process is organized around what needs to be decided (and in what order), so you’re not paying to “figure it out” as you go.

Clear financial disclosure and smart options

Separation decisions are only as good as the information behind them. We’ll help you gather and organize financial disclosure, understand the impact of different settlement options, and avoid common mistakes—especially around the family home, pensions, benefits, and debt division.

Parenting plans that work in real life

A good parenting plan isn’t just a schedule—it’s a practical guide for day-to-day life. We help you create a plan that supports stability for the kids, sets expectations for communication, and accounts for Surrey realities like commuting, school catchments, and extracurriculars.

Support and accountability when emotions run hot

Even with the best intentions, separation can trigger defensiveness, fear, or grief. Our process gives each of you space to be heard while keeping the focus on outcomes. You’ll have a consistent structure that keeps negotiations productive—even when things feel tense.

 

A fair, family-focused way to separate

Fairway Divorce Solutions was built for couples who want to avoid the “winner/loser” dynamic of the traditional process. We help you protect what matters most—your children, your future finances, and your ability to move forward.

You’ll work through decisions step by step, with guidance designed to reduce conflict and keep the process efficient—so you can reach resolution without feeling steamrolled.

Reduce time

Separate in months, not years
You will reach a resolution within 120 days after financial disclosure is in place. If you each hire your own lawyers within the traditional legal system, then you have no control over time, and the divorce will drag on for years.

icon

Reduce cost

Avoid shocking legal bills
We have a fixed fee that doesn’t change, so you know exactly what you are paying to go through the process of your divorce and reach a fair conclusion. Unlike lawyers and most mediators, we don’t work on an hourly basis.

Reduce stress

Independently negotiate a resolution
You will both move through the decision-making process separately. With our Independently Negotiated Resolution™ process, we reduce stressful interactions and avoid the power struggles that often interfere with making good decisions.

Protect the kids

Children should not be the victims
The Fairway Nurtured Children Plan™ ensures the best possible outcome for your children. We guide you through your divorce in a thoughtful, fair-minded way and make sure your children can thrive.

Independently Negotiated Resolution™

Not everyone can sit in the same room and talk things through—and that’s okay. Our Independently Negotiated Resolution™ approach lets each person work separately with our team, so negotiations can move forward with less friction.

This structure helps lower the temperature, prevents power struggles, and supports better decision-making—especially when trust is low or communication has broken down.

The Fairway Method™

A proven, organized process designed to reach agreement efficiently and predictably.

We start with information gathering and financial disclosure, then move into option-building and negotiation. As decisions come together, we help finalize the terms in a comprehensive separation agreement. Throughout, you’ll know what happens next—and why—so you’re not living in limbo.
