What is Eclipse® CLAD?

Counselor Led Assymetric Divorce.

“Counselor Led” means that a licensed mental health professional—such as a counselor with an Employee Assistance Program — works with one or both spouses and helps them through the personal issues that are often the hardest part of the life transition of divorce.

    Each spouse has the security and confidence of his or her own lawyer.

    Because the work of the lawyers is limited to just the legal issues, legal services are provided on a fixed fee basis—agreed in advance.

    “Asymmetric” means that one of the attorneys is proactive.  In addition to advising his or her client and consulting with the other professionals, this lawyer takes primary responsibility for preparing documents and moving the case through the legal system.  The other attorney is there to advise his or her client, consult with the other professionals,
review the documents and answer any questions.

    Money doesn’t solve problems, but the lack of money can cause them.  Divorce is almost always a financial hardship for everyone involved.  This is why the Eclipse® CLAD™ program often includes the help of an AdNet financial advisor for one or both spouses.  Services range from debt adjustment and budgeting to asset management.
