    In defence of solicitors (!), and to explain how they work, once instructed a solicitor will only pull out if they become aware that their client is lying to them or otherwise doing something dishonest.
    Surely in this case it's much more likely to be just because the couple have ceased giving consistent instructions to the solicitor? Standard warning to clients in this sort of situation at the outset is that in the event of a conflict of interests the solicitor may have to cease acting for one or both of them. Doesn't mean anything dishonest is going on.
