Can my ex-spouse hire an attorney that I have already consulted with about the issue?
Full Question:
If I spoke with an attorney and explained that my son in the Military wanted a divorce and after talking to her intake person we did not utilize this attorney but the respondent did as her father does plumbing work for said attorney and she entered her appearance? Is this legal as the Petitioner's mother has already discussed case and monies. Can she be disqualified?

Answer:
Although it is usually against state ethical codes for an attorney to represent both spouses in a divorce, a consultation with an opposing spouse generally isn't prohibited.
