A lawyer may NOT represent parties for which a conflict of interest exists without a formal acknowledgement of the potential for a conflict, despite everyone's warms and fuzzies; an advisement to seek independent counsel; and that, in the event of a material conflict, the attorney will have to disassociate representation from BOTH parties. This is known as a Conflict of Dual Representation Agreement .

While I would strongly advise against it, it is available to you.

I hope this informs the decision you will have to fully consider. Thank you for using WebAnswers as your source.

P'bred is exactly right, you will end up getting your laywer in trouble, but there is no reason he can't represent one of you, and the other go along with what you have decided. It is only adversarial if you make it that way

Certainly not ,no way if your wife is putting you up to this don't buy it. I have been thru this, trust me get your own divorce attorney, you will be much happier.
