The real cost

The legal system
wasn't built for
most separations.

Most couples don't have truly complex legal disputes. They have an information problem, arriving unprepared, unorganized, and billed from the moment they sit down. Separation is already hard enough. The process shouldn't make it worse.

Route Cost per spouse Timeline
Contested litigation $15K – $100K+ 1–3 years
Collaborative divorce $8K – $25K 6–18 months
Mediation $3K – $10K 3–12 months
FairWell + lawyer review $500 – $2,000 Days to weeks

Based on Canadian and US averages. Costs vary by jurisdiction and complexity.

Why FairWell

Not a law firm. Not a template.
Something built for real life.

Most options are either too expensive or too bare-bones. FairWell sits in the gap.

🧭

We guide. We don't just generate.

Template sites hand you a blank form. FairWell works through your situation with you, flags gaps, and produces documents a lawyer can actually sign off on.

⚖️

Lawyers stay in the picture.

We handle preparation, not advice. Your lawyer does less busywork and more of what only they can do. That's how you get good legal work done for a fraction of the cost.

🌎

Built for North America, not a generic market.

Province-specific and state-specific documents. Ontario family law is different from California family law. We handle both correctly, not with a generic template that's nobody's jurisdiction.

How it works

Structured.
Step by step.

FairWell sits in front of the legal system not replacing lawyers, but reducing how much of them you need before you get there.

01

Complete your assessment

Structured intake covering your situation, finances, parenting arrangements, and goals. 15–20 minutes. Used to generate everything that follows.

02

Receive your personalized report

A full separation roadmap, financial snapshot, communication guidance, and professional referrals, built around your specific situation and goals.

03

Generate your agreement

Both partners complete intake independently. FairWell's specialists draft a full separation agreement from your actual terms. Disputed items are flagged for professional resolution.

04

Lawyer review & independent legal advice

A local family lawyer in your province or state reviews the document and confirms jurisdiction-specific requirements. FairWell's ILA Prep Package cuts this meeting in half.

05

Sign and move forward

A signed, witnessed agreement that reflects your actual terms. For divorce, FairWell's filing assistance guides you through the court process.
