In a collaborative law setting, each party is represented by his or her own individual attorney. However, the parties and the attorneys all agree in writing that they will seek to collaborate and ultimately draft a separation agreement without going to court. This agreement does not bind the parties; i.e. if the negotiations break down, each party is always entitled to seek court intervention. However, it does bind the lawyers. Thus, everyone has both the incentive and/or the obligation to continue negotiation until an agreement is reached.
