"When it comes to divorce, there's the old way - and there's a better way. I know because I learned the hard way."
Karen Stewart, CEO and Founder Fairway Divorce Solutions

Divorce is costly. It costs money - masses of your money. It costs time - hours spent in meetings, completing paperwork and filing affidavits. It costs heartache as battle lines are drawn and loved ones, especially children, suffer emotional pain.

Karen’s and thousands of other’s harrowing stories are an unqualified testament to these truths. Her experience both personally and professionally led her to believe that there needs to be a better way to end a marriage. Karen’s ideas and vision lead to the creation of Fairway Divorce, this book and a passion for advocating through media - for changing the way divorce happens.

In this book Karen provides practical tools, inspiration and a mediation/negotiation model that can be used to help you move more efficiently and effectively through all the decisions that need to be made in your divorce. By following her roadmap, you can avoid the pitfalls.

"This practical step-by-step process will save you time, energy and money. Most of all it will provide you a clear path for a hopeful future."
Les Hewitt, co- author of the international bestseller, The Power of Focus

"If you are remotely contemplating divorce, then you must read this life- changing book"
Dr. John Demartini, "The Secret" and best-selling author
