Is net listing legal in MO?

No. Net listing is illegal in Missouri. It is considered unethical as it creates a conflict of interest for the real estate agent by encouraging them to prioritize their commission over the seller's best interest.


How do you prove conflict of interest?

Carefully. Generally begin from the outside in with interviews with third party persons less pressured to lie. At this level also collect public documentation supporting conflict of interest. As you move forward, interview persons closer to the conflict and collect documentation that may be obtained internally. The more documentation collected the better. It will come in handy later should the party be proven to have conflict of interest, but who has decided to lie or destroy evidence. Interview casually first, if possible. People are less likely to confide in people they believe may be malicious, have ulterior motives or who may bring blame back on them for speaking up. Keep track of names, dates and exact quotes. A bound log book works well; often a spiral notebook is not considered fit evidence. Conflict of interest is difficult to prove but not impossible provided the investigation is carefully organized, clearly documented and factual. Good luck.

Would it be a conflict of interest if my husband were to use the attorney that his ex-wife works for as a divorce attorney now?

Depends on what type of issue they are handling. If it deals with divorce, probably. If it is simply business deals or even criminal cases, no there isn't a conflict of interest, unless he is representing both parties in the same action or negotiation and they are on opposite sides.


How many public defenders can refuse to defend due to a conflict of interest?

Yes they can! A conflict of interest is the usual explanation, illness and inability to defend due to excessive case-load are other reasons. Also a public defender can refuse to defend due to issues with the client ie. if they feel threatened or abused they are entitled to walk-away.
