Can one lawyer practice Collaborative Divorce if the other side has not signed a participation agreement?

Answer

One side alone cannot practice Collaborative Divorce. It is assumed that the parties will proceed on a Collaborative Divorce basis only when all lawyers and clients have signed the participation agreement. While it may be a useful strategy for one party to approach another through their Collaborative Divorce lawyer with a participation agreement already signed, demonstrating a clear intent to seek resolution through non-adversarial means, I will not proceed with the collaborative divorce process unless your spouse agrees to come on board fully.
