More details to this question:
I was in court a few days ago in the middle of a custody case, and my ex's lawyer continued to call me out of my name, told a lot of lies about me, a basically tore apart my character, with no proof of this information at all. Is there anyway I can have her removed as counsel for my ex? Or what steps should I take?

Unfortunately, the answer is probably not. If a lawyer is behaving in a manner unbecoming of the profession, certainly there may be ethical considerations. However, if (s)he's agressively advocating on behalf of his/her client, there's really nothing you can do but prove your case in the opposite.
If the behavior is too much, especially during a hearing, you can certainly point it out to the judge or referee and ask that the behavior stop.
