The following case is from the Gibson Juvenile Court. The Mother and Father in the case were originally represented by the same attorney when they both had the same interest. The interest of the Father changed. The Mother's attorney then sited obvious conflict of interest regarding his representation of the Mother because he had previously consulted with both parties when they agreed on the issues. The Court should have granted a continuance to allow the Mother to seek new representation or represent herself. The complete case can be read here Gibson Juvenile Court Case.
