How does a CFL negotiation work?
CFL negotiations take place through a series of meeting between the parties and their lawyers. The lawyers act as facilitators or coaches and role models for constructive communication. The lawyers will help keep the discussions between the parties focused on the problems that the parties are trying to work out and help to find creative solutions. The lawyers will also provide legal advice and generate options for resolution. In a CFL negotiation, both parties must make full, honest disclosure of finances and other important facts that are necessary to make informed decisions. If there are issues concerning children, the parents and lawyers commit to finding solutions that meet the best interests of the children.
