Low-income parties

(1) KRS 403.650(1) applies to a collaborative lawyer representing a party with or without fee. (2) After a collaborative law process concludes, another lawyer in a law firm with which a collaborative lawyer disqualified under KRS 403.650(1) is associated may represent a party without fee in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter if: (a) The party has an annual income that qualifies the party for free legal representation under the criteria established by the law firm for free legal representation; (b) The collaborative law participation agreement so provides; and (c) The collaborative lawyer is isolated from any participation in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter through procedures within the law firm which are reasonably calculated to isolate the collaborative lawyer from such participation.
