S8 Ep80: Can My Spouse Hire My Divorce Lawyer In Michigan?

#ChooseGoldman 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. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlBIXdYRcYo For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-divorce-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
