family lawyer, and the successor collaborative family lawyer confirms the lawyer's
representation of a party in the collaborative family law process. (F) A collaborative family law process does not terminate if, with the consent of all
parties, a party requests a court to approve a negotiated resolution of the matter
or any portion of the matter as evidenced by a signed record.
