can an attorney operate under limited scope in a family law case if I'm pro se and I need someone to attend hearings on my behalf when I'm sick, or is that considered a conflict of interest because the opposing counsel would have to communicate with me and the other attorney ?
Case Rating: *
In Texas, an attorney can provide limited scope representation in a family law case. This means they can attend specific hearings on your behalf while you remain pro se for other aspects. It is not considered a conflict of interest, as the attorney will communicate with the opposing counsel for the portions they handle.
