Re: divorce
As long as the attorney is licensed to practice law in the state in question, then the answer is yes. However, if the parent also becomes a witness in the case, it will pose numerous problems, and therefore, it is generally not advisable.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
