Maybe that would have been mentioned, maybe not. Based on over two decades as a lawyer I can tell you that even my own clients often fail to mention things that you might think would be obvious to bring up. So just because you think it would be something the OP would obviously mention I suggest you consider that perhaps the OP might not think the same way you do.

That's why I always ask questions to make sure that I'm clear as to what all the facts are. Assuming that the agent is not an attorney, however, that doesn't necessarily mean that the agent is prohibited from validly exercising the power of attorney. Again, as I said before, it matters who the agent is, what powers the agent has, and what the agent will actually be doing with respect to the divorce, and we have none of that information here.
