9. There are only two issues in divorce:
Money and Children
…but emotions take control and play havoc in the
traditional system. They steer attention, time
and money away from a grounded, empowered
approach to resolving the issues.

10. The Old Way
• Profits from conflict through hourly billing
• Uses reactive position bargaining, so clients lose
control
• Has no strategic process or methodology
• Can drag on for years

11. The Old Way… continued
• Has no accountability for the outcome
• Sees assets and wealth destroyed
• Uses perception labeled as fact in affidavits
and destroys relationships forever
• Focuses on “rights” and a win-lose scenario
• Does not protect children from being used as
pawns either intentionally or unintentionally

12. • Upwards of 50% of marriages end in divorce
• Millions of children are affected by divorce
• The courts are backlogged with divorce cases, taking
away valuable time to deal with the real criminals
• A large percentage of child custody cases are decided by
strangers in the courts
• The stress and downtime of employees in divorce is
costing corporations millions
• Our health system is crowded with stress induced
disease and ailments

13. 13
Divorce is over a $25 billion dollar industry
that no one is being held accountable for.

14. What are the Alternatives?
• The Traditional Model:
•You have a Lawyer
•I have a Lawyer
•Win/Lose = Zero Sum Game
• Collaborative Law
• Mediation
• Financial Mediation
• Fairway – Use Independently Negotiated Resolutions

15. No problem can be solved from the same level
of consciousness that created it.

interfere with grounded decision making. People move
independently through a step-by-step process to arrive at a
win-win outcome, while keeping self-respect intact.

• A comprehensive resolution plan that lays the
foundation for new beginnings – a plan that stands the
test of time.

18. • Negotiators ensure that the Parties are empowered decision
makers. Fairway provides financial and parenting expertise
and uses strong negotiation skills.
• Lawyers provide independent legal advice.
