[§658G-10]  Low income parties.  (a)  The disqualification of section 658G-9(a) applies to a collaborative lawyer representing a party with or without fee.

     (b)  After a collaborative law process concludes, another lawyer in a law firm with which a collaborative lawyer disqualified under section 658G-9(a) is associated may represent a party without fee in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter if:

     (1)  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;

     (2)  The collaborative law participation agreement so provides; and

     (3)  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 that participation.
