Actor Stephen Collins' lengthy divorce proceedings was hit Wednesday with another delay.

According to USA Today, the more than two-year-long case between the "7th Heaven" star and his estranged wife has been postponed due to her lawyer quitting.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon granted a motion Wednesday to allow Larry Ginsberg, the attorney for Faye Grant, to resign from the case hours before a trial was scheduled to start. The Associated Press reported that another judge then continued to allow Grant to find new counsel.

Ginsberg filed the motion as he claimed he had a conflict and could not represent Grant moving forward. The judge spoke to both Grant and Ginsberg, concluding that there had been a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship. He also said he did not believe Ginsberg's resignation was an attempt to further delay the trial.

Collins filed for divorce in 2012. While the news had not been scandalous when first announced, the recent release of secret tapes Grant recorded of Collins in a therapy session in 2012 admitting that he molested young girls many years ago. Grant then turned the tape over to the police.

However, these tapes were made public two years later after TMZ received copies of the recordings, which Grant denies sharing, and shared the tapes online. Collins was soon thrown into the scrutiny of the press, damaging his television and movie career image as a good-guy, mainly due to his role as Reverend Eric Camden on "7th Heaven."

The eight-day trial was supposed to focus solely on how the couple was planning to divide the millions of dollars of assets and whether Grant would be allotted the $13,000 per month spousal support she was seeking. Collins argued that he should not pay her any amount of support since his income had been irreversibly damaged by the release of the secret tapes.
