I cannot imagine the Washington State Bar Association looking on the "cordial divorce" format as meeting the requirements of the Washington Rules of Professional Responsibility. I would urge Ms. McMaken to talk to the WSBA Ethics Hotline before doing any advertising.

    Subject: [CollabLaw] Re: "cordial divorce" - new method in Wash. State

    Bob--Can you clarify the Nevada "joint petition" procedure? Does
    it automatically mean one lawyer is representing both?

    We have "joint petitions" in NH, but there is no requirement that
    the parties agree to anything other than the need for divorce (&
    the other facts in the petition). It may be signed by 2 lawyers,
    no lawyers, or one lawyer & one self-represented party. As a
    practical matter, those who file a joint petition usually either
    file the agreement with the joint petition or within a few months
    of filing it.

    One NH lawyer may not even consult with the 2 parties to a
    divorce, let alone "represent" them in filing for divorce.

    4ws one lawyer to represent 2 parties, this "cordial divorce"
    seems very risky for the lawyer. And if the goal is to avoid
    fighting, either collaborative practice or mediation are fine methods.

            Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:25 am (PDT)

    I've often wondered, in the context of collaboration, when we
    would see
    the evolution of the legal collaborative role to that of 'legal
    expert'
    and out of advocate.

    Although, as noted below, this type of role does not meet our ethical
    rules (current) I do believe, that in the very earliest times of
    English
    jurisprudence, that this is exactly the role of the legal expert. They
    couldn't accept direct remuneration, as they were supposed to be
    completely objective.

    I'm not saying that each party in a collaborative case shouldn't have
    collaborative advocates, but the question is - must they be attorneys?
    I could point out all kinds of reasons why others might easily fit
    into
    this role (coaches for example), like noting that attorneys have to
    learn to be advocates without being attached to outcomes, that we
    aren't
    all that well trained, in law school, to be conflict
    'resolvers'... but
    from a practical point of view, we are really expensive compared to
    other professionals.

    Judges follow the rules of ethics - they're still attorneys - and they
    are not advocates, so there are precedents even under our current
    rules
    for this type of transition.

    This is an idea I have been asked about by more than one client.

    I'm not a family law practitioner, but I don't see how one can
    represent
    both parties to a divorce. Maybe those who do practice it see
    something
    I'm
    missing here.

    We use the model rules, and recently adopted the comments, too (with
    additions -- after all, we are "the Soviet of Washington).

    First, there appears to be a concurrent conflict of interest as the
    representation of one client is directly adverse to another. RPC
    1.7(a)(1).
    Second, there's the significant risk that the representation of one
    client
    will be materially limited by the lawyer's responsibilities to another
    client. RPC 1.7(a)(2).

    It appears to be a non-consentable conflict, as the representation
    involves
    the assertion of a claim by one client against another client
    represented by
    the lawyer in the same proceeding. RPC 1.7(b)(3).

    There is

    Ohio allows for Dissolution of Marriages with all issues resolved, but
    if

    In Nevada, we have a process for a joint petition divorce where the
    couple
    files on joint petition for divorce. This assumes everything is
    settled
    and
    agreeable to both parties. The eithical concern is that the
    parties may
    not
    be getting unfettered and full advice on the law and their various
    rights
    and responsibilities. The parties could easily have differing
    interests
    and
    needs. For example, how do you represent both when one party desires
    spousal support and the other is opposed to it. I have done joint
    petition
    divorces but only in the simpler cases where the real serious
    issues and
    clashes are not likely to be present. The cordial divorce sounds
    like a
    good idea but I would caution anyone to tread carefully in these
    cases.

    Lynda H. McMaken Law Offices Introduce Cordial Divorce* -- Divorce
    for Grownups

    The Washington state law offices of Lynda H. McMaken are introducing
    a new service -- Cordial Divorce* -- to help couples separate or
    divorce in a way that is non-confrontational, prompt and economical.
    Instead of engaging in a drawn-out, combative struggle between the
    couple's attorneys, the concept of Cordial Divorce is for one
    attorney to work with the couple and help them come to a speedy, non-
    contested settlement that mutually represents both persons.

    Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) April 18, 2008 -- The law offices of
    Lynda H. McMaken are introducing a new legal service -- Cordial
    Divorce* -- to help couples end their relationship in a non-
    confrontational way with less stress, expense and time than
    traditional divorce.

    The concept of Cordial Divorce* is that one attorney sits down with
    the couple and helps them come to a mutually acceptable separation or
    divorce. Instead of a potentially combative struggle between the
    couple's attorneys that can be expensive and time-consuming, the
    Cordial Divorce* attorney works with both persons to reach an
    agreement on a speedy, non-contested settlement.

    McMaken's Cordial Divorce* ensures expert legal counsel for
    separation or divorce -- with or without property settlements --
    including modifications to child support and parenting plans. Handled
    primarily by attorney Heather Forrler, each person is mutually
    represented. No court appearance by either person is required, and
    the divorce can be completed within 100 days of the initial meeting.
    Divorce is achieved through a flat fee, potentially saving thousands
    of dollars.

    "Divorce is a life-changing situation that impacts family members on
    many levels," says McMaken. "During this stressful time in your life,
    we now offer a non-confrontational process for couples to part
    company that is prompt and economical."

    Questions? See Divorce FAQs or contact Heather Forrler directly at
    (206) 842-4731. Ask Forrler about the no-cost workshop on Cordial
    Divorce* at 4:00 p.m., April 28, 2008.

    The law offices of Lynda H. McMaken, established in 1988, specialize
    in business law, estate planning and Cordial Divorce*. From offices
    on Bainbridge Island, attorneys Lynda H. McMaken and Heather E.

    Subject: [CollabLaw] Seeking materials

    Hi folks!

    We're looking for a model for retainer agreements for child
    specialists and
    financial neutrals. The Files section has a folder that is empty.
    Do you use
    retainer agreements? If not, what do you use?

    Thanks,
    Kim
