Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A principal-agent problem occurs when one person (the principal) hires another person (the agent) to represent their interests, but the agent may have different incentives or goals than the principal. In the context of hiring an attorney for a child custody suit, the individual is the principal and the attorney is the agent. The attorney may have different goals (such as minimizing their workload or maximizing their fees) than the individual, leading to a potential conflict of interest. Therefore, a principal-agent problem is the most likely problem that could occur.
