In this country ESPECIALLY.........you should absolutely REFUSE to sign any "POA" unless it specifically states the purpose of the "POA"......... ie: "any and all matters related to the divorce proceedings of Jane Doe"..........

I would suggest ALSO that you INSIST that the "POA" has an expiration date: ie: "This power of attorney shall expire on xx/xx/xx".............

........you can always sign another if it runs out...........

THE ABOVE TWO CLAUSES are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT and there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON any LEGIT attorney should not agree to it...........

If you have POA's now, you should have them revoked and have new ones written with the above stipulations.........
