In this episode, we tackle a complex and common question in divorce proceedings: Can your spouse hire a lawyer you've already had a consultation with? We break down the ethical rules that govern this situation and explain what truly creates a conflict of interest.

• A simple phone call or consultation does not automatically disqualify a lawyer from representing your spouse. • The key factor that creates a conflict is the exchange of confidential information, not whether the consultation was paid or free. • Public information, such as the fact that you are married or have children, does not count as confidential. • A judge will not automatically remove an attorney; a motion to disqualify must be filed, and you must prove that sensitive information was shared. • While disqualifying a lawyer can cause delays, it rarely changes the ultimate outcome of the case, as your spouse will simply hire new counsel.
