  The provisions of this article may not be waived by any payee.    Any transfer agreement entered into on or after July 1, 2004, by a payee who resides in Colorado shall provide that disputes under such transfer agreement, including any claim that the payee has breached the agreement, shall be determined in and under the laws of Colorado. No such transfer agreement shall authorize the transferee or any other party to confess judgment or consent to entry of judgment against the payee.    A transfer of structured settlement payment rights shall not extend to any payments that are life-contingent unless, prior to the date on which the payee signs the transfer agreement, the transferee has established and has agreed to maintain procedures reasonably satisfactory to the annuity issuer and the structured settlement obligor for periodically confirming the payee's survival and giving the annuity issuer and the structured settlement obligor prompt written notice in the event of the payee's death.    A payee who proposes to make a transfer of a structured settlement payment right shall not incur any penalty, forfeit any application fee or other payment, or otherwise incur any liability to the proposed transferee or any assignee based on a failure of such transfer to satisfy the conditions of this article.    Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to authorize a transfer of a structured settlement payment right in contravention of any law or to imply that a transfer under a transfer agreement entered into prior to July 1, 2004, is valid or invalid.    Compliance with the requirements set forth in section 13-23-103 and fulfillment of the conditions set forth in section 13-23-104 shall be solely the responsibility of the transferee in a transfer of structured settlement payment rights, and neither the structured settlement obligor nor the annuity issuer shall bear responsibility for, or any liability arising from, noncompliance with such requirements or failure to fulfill such conditions.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 24 - Uniform Collaborative Law Act (Effective January 1, 2022)|§ 13-24-105. Beginning and Concluding Collaborative Law Process

  [ ] A collaborative law process begins when the parties sign a collaborative law participation agreement.    A tribunal may not order a party to participate in a collaborative law process over that party's objection.    A collaborative law process is concluded by a:   Resolution of a collaborative matter as evidenced by a signed record;    Resolution of a part of the collaborative matter, evidenced by a signed record, in which the parties agree that the remaining parts of the matter will not be resolved in the process; or    Termination of the process.       A collaborative law process terminates:   When a party gives notice to other parties in a record that the process is ended;    When a party:   Begins a proceeding related to a collaborative matter without the agreement of all parties; or    In a pending proceeding related to the matter:   Initiates a pleading, motion, order to show cause, or request for a conference with the tribunal;    Requests that the proceeding be put on the tribunal's active calendar; or    Takes similar action requiring notice to be sent to the parties; or          Except as otherwise provided by subsection (7) of this section, when a party discharges a collaborative lawyer or a collaborative lawyer withdraws from further representation of a party.       A party's collaborative lawyer shall give prompt notice to all other parties in a record of a discharge or withdrawal.    A party may terminate a collaborative law process with or without cause.    Notwithstanding the discharge or withdrawal of a collaborative lawyer, a collaborative law process continues if, not later than thirty days after the date that the notice of the discharge or withdrawal of a collaborative lawyer required by subsection (5) of this section is sent to the parties:   The unrepresented party engages a successor collaborative lawyer; and    In a signed record:   The parties consent to continue the process by reaffirming the collaborative law participation agreement;    The agreement is amended to identify the successor collaborative lawyer; and    The successor collaborative lawyer confirms the lawyer's representation of a party in the collaborative process.          A collaborative law process does not conclude if, with the consent of the parties, a party requests a tribunal to approve a resolution of the collaborative matter or any part thereof as evidenced by a signed record.    A collaborative law participation agreement may provide additional methods of concluding a collaborative law process.    Editor's note: This section is effective January 1, 2022.  History.

  [ ] Persons in a proceeding pending before a tribunal may sign a collaborative law participation agreement to seek to resolve a collaborative matter related to the proceeding. The parties shall file promptly with the tribunal a notice of the collaborative law participation agreement after it is signed. Subject to subsection (3) of this section and sections 13-24-107 and 13-24-108 and the parties and the collaborative lawyers inform the court that the parties are engaging in good faith in the collaborative law process, any pending proceeding in the action filed by the parties shall be continued to a date certain.    The parties shall file promptly with the tribunal notice in a record when a collaborative law process concludes. The stay of the proceeding under subsection (1) of this section is lifted when the notice is filed. The notice may not specify any reason for termination of the process.    A tribunal in which a proceeding is stayed under subsection (1) of this section may require the parties and collaborative lawyers to provide a status report on the collaborative law process and the proceeding. A status report may include only information on whether the process is ongoing or concluded. It may not include a report, assessment, evaluation, recommendation, finding, or other communication regarding a collaborative law process or collaborative law matter.    A tribunal may not consider a communication made in violation of subsection (3) of this section.    A tribunal shall provide parties notice and an opportunity to be heard before dismissing a proceeding in which a notice of collaborative process is filed based on delay or failure to prosecute.

If subsection (3)(b) of this section applies, a collaborative lawyer, or lawyer in a law firm with which the collaborative lawyer is associated, may represent a party or minor child of either of the parties as defined in section 13-14-101 (2.2) for a limited time only until the person or minor child is represented by a successor lawyer or reasonable measures are taken to protect the health, safety, welfare, or interest of the person.
