Why do the spouses need to get new lawyers if the CFL process breaks down?

This requirement ensures that all the participants (spouses, lawyers and/or other professionals) in the CFL process will be fully committed to find solutions to all the issues the spouses need to resolve. This commitment helps everyone to keep working to achieve resolution even if the going gets tough. Changing lawyers protects the integrity of the CFL process and prevents it from being used as preparation for going to court.
