It is a violation of the rules governing attorney conduct. However, you would not have a malpractice claim against the attorney - you were not his client.

The act of having a sexual relationship with a client diring a divorce is a violation of the diciplinary rules for attorney's. You do not have an action for malpractice since this was not your attorney.
