California is a "no fault" divorce state, so it doesn't matter if a spouse committed adultery or not. An attorney may represent the wife and her boyfriend in both of their respective family law cases as long as their interests are not adverse to each other and no confidential information is revealed. However, your question suggests there may be a potential conflict of interest if the wife were to be called as a witness in the boyfriend's case or vice versa. This information is general and should not be construed to constitute specific legal advice nor to create an attorney/client relationship.
