When you're in court, you'll see the lawyers on opposing sides address each other as ''my friend'' or, in the case of lawyers who are Queen's Counsel, as ''my learned friend''. You shouldn't do this, unless you're a lawyer too.
If you're representing yourself, just refer to the lawyer acting for your spouse by the lawyer's last name, as "Mr. ________" or "Ms. ________."
