AN ACT CONCERNING THE ADOPTION OF THE CONNECTICUT UNIFORM COLLABORATIVE LAW ACT.

SB 1283, now Public Act 25-153, adopts Connecticut’s version of the Uniform Collaborative Law Act. It establishes a formal process for resolving family law disputes - like divorce or child custody - through collaborative negotiations instead of court trials. The law requires participants (including people and their lawyers) to commit to resolving issues together, with specific rules if the process fails. This directly affects individuals in Connecticut facing family legal matters who choose this collaborative approach over litigation.
