Definition
Programs that provide a neutral third person who facilitates discussion between people involved in a divorce action enabling them to make their own settlement decision. Also included are collaborative family law programs in which couples voluntarily sign a participation agreement binding both to the process and disqualifying their lawyer's right to represent either one in any future family-related litigation. The agreement also allows them to avoid the expense and uncertain outcome of a court case.
