You'll get through this.On your terms, not the system's.
Separation changes everything at once: your home, your money, your time with your kids. FairWell gives you a calm place to start and a clear next step, so you walk into every conversation prepared instead of afraid. Free to start. No account.
Why FairWell exists
Separation is hard enough. The process shouldn't break you too.
Every day, good people walk into a system built for conflict. Mothers and fathers pay by the hour to learn what a form means. They wait weeks for an answer. They lie awake running the numbers on the house, the kids and the years ahead. And the children feel all of it.
It doesn't have to go this way. Most separations are not courtroom battles. They are two people who need to understand where they stand, see the numbers honestly and make a plan they can live with. That takes preparation and good information far more than it takes a fight.
FairWell exists to give every family that preparation: the guidance, tools and people to do as much as you can yourself, understand the rest, and arrive at your lawyer's or mediator's office ready. Less money spent gathering facts. More left for your life and your kids.
If you didn't see this coming. If you're the one who made the hard decision. If you always handled the money, or never saw the statements. If you're worried most about your kids.
You are in the right place, and you are not alone in this.
There is a life on the other side of this. You can reach it with your savings, your dignity and your relationship with your children intact.
The legal system wasn't built for most separations.
Most couples don't have a complex legal dispute. They have unorganised finances, no idea what's normal, and a lawyer billing from the first minute. Separation is already hard. The process shouldn't make it worse.
FairWell helps with the preparation: disclosure, numbers, priorities and the terms you want, organised. Your lawyer drafts the agreement and advises you, and can spend less time gathering basics.
Costs vary a lot by province or state and by how much you disagree, so ask any lawyer or mediator for a quote. Contested matters with hidden assets, business interests or safety concerns need a lawyer in an active role from the start, and we say so in the assessment.
Pay once. Take it to your lawyer.
Start with disclosure. End up organised and ready for your lawyer. Every product is a flat fee, and a lawyer or mediator where you live prepares and advises on the final agreement.

Complete the free assessment
Five short questions about your situation, your relationship, your children and what matters most. A few minutes, saved as you go, and you see your suggested next step straight away.
Get your roadmap
A free separation roadmap for your province or state, guides for your stage and professionals listed for your area. The Prep Pack adds a financial snapshot and a disclosure organiser if you want them.
Both partners enter their terms
Each of you completes intake through a private link, and with prompts at each step to help you avoid missing details. Disputed items are flagged, not buried. Your answers are organised into a summary of your terms, with links to the rules for your province or state, ready to take to a lawyer.
Your lawyer drafts and advises
Your own family lawyer uses your summary to prepare the agreement, gives you independent advice and deals with what your jurisdiction requires. Because the details are already captured, the engagement may be shorter than starting from scratch.
Sign and move forward
When you and your lawyers are satisfied, you sign with witnesses. If you're divorcing, our guides explain the court paperwork in your province or state.
What would child support look like?
Choose where you live and see the basic monthly amount under the official guideline for your province or state, when the children live mainly with the other parent. Shared time and extra expenses are in the full calculator. Information, not legal advice.
Don't take our word for it. Read the work.

Disclosure has to be forced, not requested. That takes a lawyer and sometimes a forensic accountant.
