a type of family dispute settlement with legal assistance. Family attorneys collaborate (often with other professionals who have received collaborative training) to help the parties have child- and family-focused discussions in order to find a mutually acceptable resolution regarding children and finances. Attorneys and clients have an obligation to fully and honestly disclose all pertinent information, and attorneys also have an obligation to help the family as a whole get the best result. A written agreement is made by divorcing couples and their attorneys that neither party will file for divorce during the proceedings, nor will the attorneys encourage the other party to do so. Should a consensus not be reached, the
agreement is cancelled, and the attorneys are no longer permitted to represent the couple in any ensuing legal actions.
