If a skater wishes to change coaches, etiquette dictates that the skater's parents ask the new coach if they would be willing to teach the skater, then the parents inform the former coach of the change and pay them in full before taking any lessons from the new coach. Skate Canada requires that the former coach gracefully relinquish any skater that wishes to change coaches.
