abstract = {Introduction: This study is based on the paradigm of collaborative law and the
current absence of instruments that evaluate the lawyer-client relationship as
a function of the needs of the family system. The objective was to construct
and validate an instrument, conceptualizing the lawyer-client relationship as a
helping relationship.
Method: Two groups of experts and 239 parents (58% mothers and 42% fathers),
users of Family Visitation Centers, participated in the study. The content,
construct, and criterion validity of the instrument, as well as its invariance for
both parents, were analyzed.
Results: The resulting 12-item instrument has been shown to have a twodimensional
structure, invariant for both parents, with high psychometric
solidity.
Discussion: The LCR scale seems to be a valuable and effective measure for use
in a legal context, with important correlations with the parents’ psychological
well-being, leading to a promising and relevant instrument for the holistic
approach to the divorce process.},
