Q: Can a law firm represent one of their employees? My ex wife is making everything complicated and I need help.
Can a law firm represent one of their employees? My ex wife is serving me with papers and I don’t really know why, and she keeps asking me fore my address. I’ve told her I will not give her my address and I gave her my grandmas address, where I get all my mail sent, and she told me that won’t work because it’s not where I live. I offered to tell the professional (Paralegal) my address and she said that was fine but then she also told my mom the same day that if she wanted to look up my address all she has to do is get on the computer at work because she works as a receptionist at the law firm that’s helping her. I’m not quite sure what to do here and I really need some help. There’s a lot more to this story I couldn’t fit (this is all over my two year old daughter and my ex wanting the schedule her way and not being willing to work with my schedule, or even go to a mediator, but suddenly she wants to serve me) please help.
A: There is no prohibition against a law firm representing one of its employees. Additionally if you care for the child then the Mother will need to know your address. Other than that, she is looking for your address for the purpose of service of process.
