Thank you all. Rule 4 of FLR's seem very clear that a lawyer must provide a notice.
Can anyone comment please specifically on that language?

Just ask your ex or her lawyer to confirm this person is also representing her and that's it.... My ex-wife had up to 4 lawyers from the same firm representing her (taking turns getting ruined by me in court)Leave a comment:

Nice how she can afford to have not one, but two lawyers on retainer.Leave a comment:

They are showing up together, although the lawyer on record has never stated in writing that the second lawyer is reping STBXOriginally posted by Jeff View PostLeave a comment:

What about checking with the lawyer on record to find out what is going on?Leave a comment:

Co-represent?
Is it possible the new one is acting as a "friend of the court"?
And to answer your question .. no, I don't believe you have to deal with her. Deal with whoever is representing your ex (in writing).Leave a comment:

Hmmm, perhaps play her at her own game. Any communication from her you might forward with your reply to her lawyer on record? He/she may be unaware that their client is undermining both their case and their advice. Correspondence could open with ' per your client's request. .'Leave a comment:

I did, and she told me she's not required to be. very aggressively and very rudely.Originally posted by blinkandimgone View PostLeave a comment:

I would politely let them know that as they are not the lawyer on record they are not party to the case and you will not deal with them and should they wish to participate they will file and provide to you a change of rep form. Until such time, you deal with the lawyer on record. Period.Leave a comment:

Before I fire off a compliant to LSUC, does anyone else have any insight ?Leave a comment:

Pretty sure unless the lawyer is on record they have no authority to make any agreement on behalf of the client, which can open a can of worms down the road if the ex doesn't care for what was agreed to.
Without a change of representation for this person, they are not a party to the case.Leave a comment:

Hi Jeff, thank you for your interest. No they both have their own separate practices.Originally posted by Jeff View PostLeave a comment:

A second lawyer showing up that's not on Notice of Rep - Is this allowed ?
Hi Community,
The last 'Notice of Change in Representation' filed by STBX shows one lawyer. All of a sudden another lawyer appears out of the blue.
The lawyer insists that she can corepresent STBX without appearing on a 'Notice of Change in Representation'.
Is this true ? Seems like her sole purpose is to antagonize. Do I have to deal with her ?
PND
