Separation Navigator

Someone in your corner.
For the whole process.

Separation is a long process. Legal, financial, emotional, logistical. Having someone who knows it well, available month to month, changes how it goes. That's what Navigator gives you.

What's included

Expertise, available
when you need it.

Not a chatbot. Not a knowledge base. A real expert who knows your situation, month by month, and is available between calls when things come up.

📞

Monthly 60-minute strategy call

A structured session with your assigned separation expert. Agenda built around where you are in the process that month. What's coming up, what decisions are pending, what to watch out for. Prepared specifically from your situation, not a generic consultation.

💬

Async access between calls

Questions don't wait for the next session. Between calls, you have direct access to your expert via secure message. Replies within 24 hours. Whether it's a letter from your former spouse's lawyer, a financial question, or something you need to think through before you respond, you're not doing it alone.

📄

Document review and guidance

Share documents, draft agreements, financial disclosures, and correspondence for review. Your expert will identify issues, flag anything that needs attention, and help you understand what you're looking at. This is not legal advice, but it is informed, experienced guidance that helps you walk into legal appointments prepared.

🤝

Coordinated professional referrals

When you need a lawyer, mediator, financial planner, mortgage specialist, or therapist, your Navigator expert coordinates the referral. They know who you are, what your situation involves, and who in our network is the right fit. You arrive at every appointment prepared and in context.

Who Navigator is for

Complex situations.
And people who just don't want to do this alone.

🏢

Business owners and self-employed

Business valuation, income documentation, shareholder agreements, retained earnings. Separation with a business in the mix is materially more complex. Navigator gives you expert support through the parts that general guidance doesn't cover.

🏦

Pension and investment disputes

Defined benefit pensions, stock options, deferred compensation, and investment portfolios all have specific treatment rules in separation. Getting these wrong at the agreement stage is costly. Navigator helps you ask the right questions and understand the implications before you sign.

🌎

Cross-provincial and cross-border situations

One party in Ontario, one in BC. An asset in the US. A pension from a previous jurisdiction. These situations have layers that standard guidance doesn't reach. Your Navigator expert navigates the jurisdictional complexity with you.

High-conflict situations

When communication has broken down and every exchange carries risk, having an expert to think through your position before you respond is worth far more than the monthly cost. Strategy matters in high-conflict separation.

🧭

People who don't want to navigate this alone

Your situation doesn't need to be complex to benefit from Navigator. Some people simply want a knowledgeable person in their corner for the duration. That's a completely valid reason to subscribe.

"Nobody helps you understand how lonely this process feels. You're making the biggest decisions of your life mostly alone. Having structure made everything feel less like chaos. Just knowing what comes next made it manageable."

P.R., Alberta - Separation Navigator

Not for every situation

If your separation is straightforward, amicable, and you're confident navigating it with FairWell's standard products, Navigator may be more than you need. Most people with uncomplicated situations are well served by our Separation Agreement Builder, Decision Support, and Lawyer Review products. Start with the assessment if you're not sure what you need.

How it compares

Expertise without
the retainer.

A divorce lawyer on retainer is the traditional option. Going it alone is the other extreme. Navigator sits between them, built for people who need real expertise but not $5,000 a month of it.

Alternative
Lawyer on retainer
$5,000–$15,000 / month

Full legal representation, advice, and advocacy. The right choice when you are in litigation or need someone to legally represent you. Not necessary for most separations that reach agreement outside court.

Right when: you're in contested court proceedings, you need legal representation, or the stakes are high enough to justify it.

Expensive when: you're using legal hours for administrative guidance, general questions, or emotional support.

Alternative
Going it alone
$0 / month

Free, but high-risk. Separation involves decisions about finances, children, property, and legal documents that have long-term consequences. Mistakes made here are expensive to fix later, if they can be fixed at all.

Works when: the situation is genuinely simple, both parties are fully cooperative, and there is no complexity.

High risk when: there are children, shared assets, business interests, or any disagreement.

Common questions

About
Separation Navigator.

Navigator experts provide informed, experienced guidance on the separation process. They help you understand your options, review documents, think through decisions, and prepare for conversations with lawyers and other professionals. They do not provide legal advice, do not represent you, and cannot tell you what a court would decide in your case. When you need legal advice, your Navigator expert helps you get to the right lawyer, prepared and in context.
Yes. Navigator is a month-to-month subscription with no minimum commitment. Cancel before your next billing date and you won't be charged again. There are no cancellation fees and no questions required. Most people subscribe for two to six months, covering the most active phase of their separation, and cancel when they feel they have the process under control.
Possibly. If your separation is amicable, straightforward, and you're confident both parties will cooperate through a document process, FairWell's standard products may be all you need. Start with the free assessment and see what it recommends. Navigator is most valuable when there's complexity, disagreement, or when you simply want an expert available throughout the process.
Good news: your Navigator expert adjusts with you. If your situation escalates, becomes more complex, or moves in a different direction, we work with what's actually happening, not a static view of what you described at intake. If your situation changes to the point where you need full legal representation, your expert will be direct about that and help you find the right lawyer.
Between your monthly calls, you can send messages to your expert through FairWell's secure platform. Share documents, ask questions, get a read on something that came up. Responses within 24 hours on business days. This is not unlimited consultation time, but it covers the kinds of questions that come up mid-process: "I received this letter, is this normal?", "Should I respond to this or wait?", "Can you look at this draft and tell me what I'm missing?"
Navigator gives you priority status across all FairWell products, which means faster turnaround, coordinated service, and your expert involved in preparing you for each product. Individual products (Separation Agreement Builder, Parenting Plan, Lawyer Review, etc.) are purchased separately. Your Navigator expert helps you decide which ones you need and when.
