In family law, couples undergoing the divorce process can sign an agreement not to go to court. Known as Collaborative Family Law (CFL), the agreement not to go to court is binding upon the attorneys and not the couple. If one or both clients are unsatisfied, either may still take the dispute to court. However, they will have to find new lawyers. At its core, the CFL process is meant to...
