Are there disadvantages to collaborative law?
The collaborative law process assumes that parties are capable of working cooperatively. Both parties must find new counsel if collaboration stalls; critics claim that this may have a disproportionately burdensome effect when the parties involved have disparate resources and information. In other words, a party who enters the process in good faith may later be saddled with the expense of hiring a new attorney if, for any reason, final resolution cannot be reached collaboratively.
