More details to this question:
My husband was represented by a lawyer from a firm 8 years ago. That lawyer is no longer with the firm but his ex-wife has hired an attorney from that same firm to represent her in a child custody hearing. Is this a conflict of interest? Can we ask her attorney to recluse himself from the case?

You might have a possible issue, see an attorney with all of the details. The real question is, what which again if the attorney was disqualified.
