When it comes to divorce, there's the old way - and there's a better way. I know because I learned the hard way.
Hello, my name is Karen Stewart.
More than two decades ago I found myself unexpectedly on the doorstep of divorce. Not knowing where to turn I asked my friends for a referral for “the best” lawyer money could buy. After five long years and over $500,000 in legal bills for myself alone, our ability to co-parent was destroyed, along with our net worth. I found out the hard way that hiring a lawyer and “fighting it out” simply makes no sense at all.
I set out to create a better way to resolve a separation, and in 2006 I founded Fairway Divorce Solutions®. Our team of more than 25 Divorce Resolution Mediators now operates from over 11 locations. After working with 6,500 couples across Canada, we know we have a process that works, regardless of whether you trust or get along with your ex.
I have dedicated my life’s work to changing how divorce happens because I care. I care about you and your children. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel when you find yourself in a situation where you and your partner need to separate.
