Yes, an attorney can represent both spouses in a divorce, however, it is important to be careful in doing so. I would highly recommend having both parties sign a disclaimer stating that they are aware that a conflict of interest may exist for the attorney and they are waiving any future claim they may have against the attorney. It is best to have an attorney represent both sides when the parties are mostly in agreement as to who is to obtain what assets, debts, maintenance, and both parents are in agreement on the major child support issues. The attorney's role would be to draft the appropriate agreements and file everything with the court of jurisidction. The attorney can also act as a mediator for the parties on any issues where thay are not in agreement.
