D079919
California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District · Filed
Published · citable
Holding
The court held that a trial court may proceed on representation issues in a DVRO action even while an appeal of a prior attorney‑disqualification order is pending, that a “minor’s counsel” may be appointed only in custody or visitation proceedings (not in a DVRO action), and that a minor who lacks the capacity to understand a fee agreement may have that agreement voided without the court automatically disqualifying the attorney who signed it. ---
