Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

If I understand your scenario, an attorney is currently representing a person in some action pending in Court presently. 10 years ago, that attorney's partner represented that person's mother in a divorce action. Assuming that the person was not involved as a litigant in his mother's divorce, I cannot see a conflict.

This answer is given based on the scanty facts you have provided. My answer may change based on particular facts involved in this matter. This is not legal advice that you can rely on because we have never met and I have not been retained. To be sure of your legal rights in any situation, you should seek the advice of counsel. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
