Divorce Law
Adrianne McLean Divorce Lawyer
Getting divorced is a stressful time even if you both agree that you want to divorce
Most couples follow the typical road and each lawyer up, and then retreat to their separate corners, leaving the lawyers to slug it out. Increasing costs and time to settlement, leaving you to deal with the emotional fallout alone.
Many couples do not know that you only need one lawyer to advise you and to draft your separation agreements (both financial and childcare). Using this process has many advantages, you both hear the law at the same time, and this avoids the “my lawyer said….” that gets followed by arguments and confusion.
Once the agreements are drafted, under New Zealand law, one of you will need to take your agreements to an independent lawyer to get separate legal advice. This assures you both the process has been fair.
All of this can be done for a fixed fee so you know up front what your costs will be, and most couples take an average of one month from deciding to divorce to signing off on parenting and property agreements saving time, stress & money.
If you want a dignified kinder divorce this is the way to do it.
I am also a fully trained collaborative lawyer, a mediator, along with a litigation specialist if you find you have no option other than filing in Court or you both want a lawyer but still want to work collaboratively.
