Our divorce mediators & resolution experts
Divorce can be a difficult experience
Divorce can be one of the most challenging experiences anyone can go through. However, it's important to remember that you're not alone. We have helped more than 7,500 families through this life transition and emerge with a renewed sense of hope and purpose.
High cost of a Calgary divorce lawyer
Family law is highly regulated, so why is litigation in court so expensive? We charge a fixed fee for our mediation process so you know exactly what you are paying. It includes using an experienced lawyer for legal advice and completion.
Reduce time, reduce stress, reduce cost
Court proceedings can take years. With our Divorce Resolution Mediator, you will reach a separation agreement within 120 days of negotiation. With the Fairway Method, a divorcing couple reduces stressful meetings, avoids civil litigation, resolves issues of property division, and agrees on parenting coordination.
Create a clear path to a new life
Even the best lawyers don't care about anything but the court proceedings. In our mediation sessions, we'll help you make what's broken beautiful again. It's time for you and your family to start living the life you've always imagined. It all starts with a phone call.
