A power of attorney cannot authorize an agent to perform acts that would be considered the practice of law. Powers of attorney often include provisions empowering the agent to "pursue claims and litigation." This provision permits the agent to act on behalf of the principal as the client in a lawsuit. An attorney-in-fact (the holder of a power of attorney) may make decisions concerning litigation for the principal, such as deciding to settle a case, but a nonlawyer attorney-in-fact may not act as lawyer to implement those decisions. Nor may an agent appear on behalf of a principal in court as a pro se party; only the real party in interest the principal, not a nonlawyer agent is permitted to appear in court pro se.

How long do I have to pay spousal support for?

Answered by attorney Loren Paul Zahn (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Zahn Law Office
Your question is a mix of two different issues. Spousal support is related to the right of one spouse to receive support from the other for his/her own benefit. Child support is for the children. It is not possible to determine in the abstract how long spousal support is to be paid for, but child support remains an obligation for the duration of the child's minority.
