Independently Negotiated Resolution™
By working with each person individually, we avoid direct confrontations and help you make steady progress toward agreement. This approach creates space for calm, confident decisions.
Why more families in Fergus are choosing mediation
Divorce can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to spiral into unnecessary stress or conflict. Fairway Divorce Solutions offers a structured, respectful alternative to traditional separation approaches. With our fixed-fee mediation model, Fergus families can address parenting and financial issues in a straightforward and calm environment.
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.
Reduce stress and uncertainty
Our Divorce Resolution Mediators support you through each stage of the process. We help you make important decisions around finances and parenting in a peaceful, timely manner. Most families reach resolution within 120 days after financial disclosure—without unpredictable delays or expenses.
Supporting families across Fergus
From families in century homes to those on rural properties, we tailor our mediation services to fit Fergus’s close-knit and diverse community. Our virtual mediation sessions offer convenience, and our extended regional support network makes it easy to get the help you need, when and where it works best for you.
A focus on your future
We guide you through property division, parenting schedules, and financial planning with empathy and clarity. Our goal is to help you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Mediation that respects rural needs
In rural areas like Fergus, divorce often involves unique assets like farmland or family businesses. Our team understands these complexities and will help ensure fair, thoughtful solutions.
A proven method for Fergus families
Our four principles—reduce time, reduce cost, reduce stress, and protect the kids—guide every step of the process. That’s how we’ve helped thousands of families separate respectfully and efficiently.
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 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 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.
The Fairway Method™
From financial disclosure to final agreement, we guide you through a predictable, step-by-step process. Our method is structured to help most families reach resolution in under 120 days.

Client testimonials
Success comes in many forms. For us, it is hearing back from our clients and reading how we have changed their lives for the better. These stories are the reason we do what we do.
Working with Colette Fortin as a mediator and coach made all the difference in this experience. She was fair, impartial, and kept the dialogue going in an optimistic and progressive way. Had I known how painless and structured the process was, I would not have hesitated. I would highly recommend Fairway and specifically Colette for their expertise in mediation. Thank you Colette!
