I'll do my best to be clear -


Mother1 works for solicitor1 as a legal secretary. Father1 is applying for an ivo that is being contested and represented by S1.
One of the witnesses listed is Father2. F2 had a previous relationship and shares a son1 with M1.
F2 and Wife1 now have more children. F2 is listed as a witness to discuss alleged sexual assault by son2 under the care of F1 of another child.
Is this considered a conflict of interest or would M1 be considered too far removed ?
