Watch how the process works
If you’re new to mediation, a short explainer can help. In our overview video, you’ll see what happens after your first meeting, what financial disclosure looks like, and how we move from discussion to a signed agreement.
A calmer path to separation in St. Andrews
Separation can feel heavy—especially when you’re trying to protect your kids, your home, and your future. Divorce mediation gives you space to make decisions thoughtfully, with a structured process and clear next steps.
Many St. Andrews families appreciate having one coordinated place to handle the legal drafting, financial disclosure, and parenting details, so nothing important slips through the cracks.
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.
When everything feels urgent, it helps to have a plan
If your biggest worry is money, you’re not alone. If your biggest worry is the children, you’re not alone either. A fair agreement usually needs both: solid numbers and a workable parenting plan.
We guide the conversation so it stays focused on solutions, not blame—so you can move from uncertainty to clear decisions.
Mediation support for St. Andrews families along the Red River
When a relationship ends, the practical pieces still need attention: schedules, school routines, budgets, and the family home. Our process is designed for real life. Meetings can be virtual, so you can make progress without extra driving time.
Parenting plans that fit your routine
We help you build a parenting plan that covers day‑to‑day schedules, holidays, decision‑making, communication, and how you’ll handle changes over time—so both homes stay steady for the kids.
Financial clarity before you sign
You’ll organize financial disclosure, review income and expenses, and work through support and property division with guidance. Clear disclosure reduces second‑guessing and supports durable agreements.
Agreements built to be filed, not fought
Once terms are settled, we draft the separation agreement and provide guidance for next steps such as signing and divorce filing.
What you can expect from Fairway Divorce Solutions
Most people want three things from the separation process: a reasonable timeline, predictable cost, and less conflict at home. Our approach is structured, guided, and focused on reaching a complete agreement you can live with.
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.
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.
Our separation process step-by-step
The Fairway Method™ is designed to streamline separation. With a step-by-step process that begins with financial disclosure and ends with a binding agreement, we help both parties reach resolution efficiently and respectfully.
In most cases, we complete the full process in under 120 days after financial disclosure. The result? A legally sound agreement, reduced stress, and a clear path toward a new chapter.
