Can my husband’s attorney represent both of us because I cannot afford it, and we came to an agreement?

No, the same lawyer cannot represent both of you. However, if you have entered into an agreement, then you may not need a lawyer any longer if the negotiation of the agreement has been concluded, and it has been typed up, reviewed by your attorney, and signed by everyone. Once an agreement has been fully negotiated, typed and signed by everyone, your case can be scheduled for an uncontested final hearing and your spouse and their lawyer can appear without you. It may also be possible for you to attend the final hearing by telephone, but you'll need to check with the judge's assistant if they will allow it. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and your options.

Officially no he (or she) only represents one of you. Use of a lawyer is recommended.

You asked this question under Divorce law in FL. In FL an attorney cannot represent both sides in a divorce. He or she can only represent one side.
