Sorry if this is already been asked or answered do we know why his divorce attorney asked to be excused from his duties of representation?
They used vague language, as is common, but essentially, with the charges that are related to the disappearance of his wife, the dissolution of marriage has become complicated. But it appears that his counsel were "limited scope" handling only the issue of "discovery" (exchange of info in a court case for those who may not know). Being in jail and dealing with charges makes it difficult for them to represent him in discovery issues, especially as divulging info about finances to the other side as court-ordered, may incriminate FD (like maybe giving him more motive to kill her). They don't want to be a part of that.
And they may now find him a repugnant client, which can be a valid reason to get out of the case.
