Caught In The Middle

My friend is being brought into the middle of a divorce. She is currently dating a guy who's divorce will be final this month. His soon to be ex-wife insist on dragging her into the middle of the divorce. Between the two of them they have two kids which he has temporary custody of. She has found out about some things that took place over 10 years ago with my friend and is trying to have her brought into court to get custody back of her kids. She has had papers drawn up by her attorney stating that my friend can't be around her kids when they are with their dad because she has hepatitis C. She has also found out that over 10 years ago she lost her kids due to a drug problem that she had. My friend had at that time received treatment and is drug free and curretly has had custody of her kids back for almost 5 years now. The court records on this case are sealed but she is trying to have them opened for her court case. My friend doesn't understand why she is doing this and doesn't know what to do to protect her pricacy. She has talked to her boyfriends attorney and he told her that he couldn't help her. What should she do?

she should talk to her own Attorney. The other Attorney cannot help her because of a conflict of interest.
