| A lawyer for one parent in a child custody matter may not directly communicate with the other parent absent that parent's lawyer's consent, because entry of a final decree in the child custody case does not normally end the matter. In a situation like this, a lawyer who is unsure if the other party is still unrepresented may write the other party for the sole purpose of determining if the party is represented by a lawyer (this rule would apply in litigation and non-litigation contexts). |
