Your question is a very good indication that you need legal representation. Take a closer look at the Entry of Appearnce that you signed. I'll bet that it does not say what you said it does. Also, the attorney represents your husband and has a duty to represnt the best interests of his client, not you. I will almost gurantee that you would regret letting this go through with only the one lawyer representing your husband. Good luck!
