Los Angeles, CA family law attorney Barbara J. Youngman talks about engaging in collaborative divorce and whether it effects your right to future litigation. She explains that no, that is not the case. In a collaborative process, the agreement is that the attorneys representing you cannot continue to represent you in court if the collaborative process is terminated and litigation becomes necessary. However, as the party involved, you are not bound by this restriction. If the collaborative process breaks down, you have the freedom to pursue litigation and retain new legal representation of your choice for the court proceedings. The limitation on attorneys only applies within the context of the collaborative process itself.
