One attorney can’t represent both the husband and the wife. In 1981, the South Carolina Bar’s Ethics Advisory Committee issued an opinion stating: “The position of the [husband and wife] in a divorce action are inherently adversary. We conclude that an attorney could and should not represent both.” However, we’ll give advice to the spouse that hires us and we’ll prepare an agreement according to that spouse’s wishes. We will send the agreement to the other spouse and ask if that spouse proposes that anything be changed. We will not provide any advice or substantive representations to the other spouse, except that we will encourage that spouse to have the agreement reviewed by his or her own lawyer. Otherwise, we deal with the pro se (doesn’t have a lawyer) spouse fairly and professionally. After all, we want (and encourage) your divorce to remain uncontested.
