Welcome.
These pages are about Eclipse® Divorce -
what it is,
how it
works, how it is different from adversarial divorce litigation and what
all this means to you.
It is also about the Eclipse® CPS - a tool that
helps attorneys and other collaborative professionals make the Eclipse® divorce
process effective and efficient - easier
on the parties and their families, and less
expensive.
Facing, enduring or recovering from Divorce
making sense of what you are going through.
There is
no single explanation that will be
meaningful, make sense to or be helpful for every person. People
are
just too different. The best we can do is share our years of
experience -
sometimes in the form of stories based on how unnamed others have
understood or
experienced the divorce process and sometimes in a more technical
fashion.
Divorce is like a coin - one thing that
has two very different sides.
One side is very personal and unique to every person. This is the
side with the pain and anguish, the worry, the tears and and the anger.
The other side is the public, legal side. It
is a creature of state law and local
rules. On this side of the divorce coin, everyone is treated
the same.
The counselors, financial advisors and attorneys who
make up the Advocates Network work hard to keep both sides of the
"divorce coin" in balance. They know that no one way is right for
eveyr person or every family.
You do have options - and you have the
strength
to choose the right thing.
We are here to help.
How you benefit from the choice of Eclipse® divorce
Assistance Levels…
Pretty much the same way
you benefit from different sizes
when you buy shoes.
Individual fit is important – lack of fit not
only hurts, it
can do lasting damage.
Eclipse® Divorce allows the independent
members of the Advocates
Network to ‘customize’ the process to suit the individual best
interests of the
people going through it.
There are three basic levels – ‘sizes’ to
continue the
analogy - of Eclipse®
Divorce…
we’ve added links to more detailed
descriptions of Eclipse®
TAO, CLADTM
and MCD…but
There are very important differences between
the ‘fit’ of
something like shoes and the ‘fit’ of Eclipse® Divorce levels of service…
Shoes only have to fit one person but the fit
of a divorce
process must fit not only one spouse but the other spouse and the
children as
well.
You can try on different shoes and put back
those that don’t
fit – you can’t do this with something as important as your divorce.
The members of the Advocates Network have created this web site so that
you can learn at your own time and pace - but with a bit of a
warning. While more for some than others, divorce is very
stressful. Going through it alone can be an invitation to
disaster. Advocates Network members are almost always able to
find a few minutes to talk - and they hope you will call.
