How do you disqualify attorney in divorce case attorney represtenting wife but represented me in the past? |
[Edit] |
Answer
You do not have the legal option to request the court to have the attorney disqualified from representing your wife in divorce proceedings.
There is no law that prevents a person from retaining legal counsel of their choice. The fact that he once represented you previously is not relevant.

Not true. If her attorney represented you in the past, it is unethical, at least in most staes I am aware of, for that attorney to represent someone against your interests. Once your attorney, he cannot go against you later. Imagine what he would know about you that you told him in confidence that he would have in his mind while he is representing your opponent now, like if you committed a crime and this information would benefit your new opponent.
Move to have him disqualified. He should have not taken this case anyways.
