What is a Participation Agreement?

At the outset of the collaborative divorce process, you and your partner will be asked to sign a participation agreement. This document binds all those who sign it to co-operate in reaching a settlement without involving the court. It is important to note that the participation agreement makes it clear that should the collaborative process break down, neither collaborative solicitor will be able to continue to represent you and your partner in any contested future litigation.
