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.
